Ferdi Tayfur, who made his first attempt as a music director in 1991, showed his quality. He could do this job expertly. By 1992, the compositions available were making a splash. Individual Tayfur, who gave concerts to hundreds of thousands of fans, was entering the studio for those who had been longing for a bomb album for many years. When he left the studio, he was very surprised by the album sales. His songs became an anthem to everyone’s tongue. It was as if the master artist, who released an album every year, had become famous again. It was disrupting the markets…
Shackles opens the album with “emmoglu”. It is an extraordinary song or folk song. Then comes the song “Last Year”. For those who buy and listen to the album, this album is a rediscovery of the individual father. No one can say where the old albums are… The one who buys the album runs and tries to buy a few more. Sait Büyükçınar gives a good test as assistant director.
Ahmet Selçuk İlkan did the retouching of the lyrics very well, the first two songs made you listen with insatiable pleasure… Musically, the listeners also enjoy. Ferdi Tayfur used all his musical talents in this album.
Some songs in the album always seem to be hot… The gossip song must be like this too, it was composed in a calm, fast rhythm and movement to restore the emotions that rose in the first two songs. We have always seen examples of this in top albums. The listener is always taken into consideration, the atmosphere of a tavern is not given or the image of a death row prisoner being listened to is not given. After all, those who listen are human too. The audience is warmed up for the next song.
The album continues with the song Shackles… Shackles can be said to be the most experimental song of the album.
put shackles on my feet
put handcuffs on my arms
Dig cliffs into my paths
don’t leave me don’t leave me…
प्रंगलार
It is a song that is far from the love path he followed until then, but makes the listener believe in the love of the lover. It has surpassed the narrative. The music keeps the lyrics alive. It is one of Ferdi Tayfur’s best works in every aspect…
After the shackles, he explains the situation he is in with the words “If only you knew” and explains why he wants to be put in shackles. Musically, it is not as deep as the song Shackles.
Part B of my album starts with “Bleeding Rose”. It is a good example for those looking for the old musically. It is an exemplary song for those who want to examine Sait Büyükçınar. Why does Ferdi Tayfur not use polyphony in every song like in his old albums? This is the answer to those who ask. Sait Büyükçınar is not a bad composer, but he is a few sizes too small for Ferdi Tayfur. We see this clearly.
When it comes to the morning man’s coffee song, I can’t help but think… Just as the late Kemal Sunal showed the slums with examples in his films, sometimes focused on the high cost of living, and sometimes became a garbageman, postman, doorman, civil servant, teacher, worker, Ferdi Tayfur also showed every aspect of the lover. He painted like a painter. There is no point that I think individual Tayfur has not touched upon this issue so far. This is a tremendous skill. Isn’t morning coffee a perfect song for those who are in love and can’t sleep until the morning? Isn’t the music arranged accordingly? Aren’t his motifs suitable for him? Aren’t they right to rush to music stores after hearing the album?
Morning Man’s Coffee
The song “Where are you, where am I” is one of the complementary songs I mentioned.
The missing points in the morning coffee are completed here. It is given its final shape with “You left, that departure song”. These are compositions that can be considered good musically. I wonder what this album would be like if the Özer Senay style was adopted instead of the Büyükçınar style of these compositions? It’s hard to even imagine, I guess he wouldn’t be able to make an album for 10 years. This wind would last for 10-15 years. If four of its songs could survive to this day, then the entire album would.
Where Are You Where Am I
The album ends with the moving song “You’re beating in my heart”
this song too Ferdi Tayfur composes arabesque compositions This is a good answer to those who say. In fact, there are countless examples on this subject. At a time when pop music was everywhere, arabesque music fell out of favor, those who made arabesque music began to be despised, and musical values began to change, Ferdi Tayfur made the songs “Emmoğlu”, “Last Year” and “Sabahçı Kahvesi” and put an end to the unrivaled dominance of pop music.
You Beat in My Heart
Pop music has suffered a heavy blow, Ferdi Tayfur has made an album that would surprise even him.
He would have given more importance to this album if he had known it would have such an impact. Despite everything, an album was made that will be remembered for many years to come. He released the leading album for himself in album sales. The fact that he released an album that is different in every aspect like purple roses following this wind is proof that he is not a monotonous composer. The compositions I made were successful, he did not want to follow the same line, he released an album with his lyrics and compositions that we will put in a different place in our archives and that we will have difficulty in analyzing, and he still amazed us…
