Gareth.T - 偶像已死 (idole sind tot) Gareth.T’s new cantopop song "idole sind tot" marks a bold departure for the artist. Featuring lyrics penned by the acclaimed lyricist and close collaborator Wyman Wong, the track offers a critical reflection on the worship of false idols, a theme that resonates differently with each listener. Idolatry takes many forms, and often people elevate ideas, objects or individuals—who are merely products of hyperbolic marketing—to a divine status. Drawing from his personal experience, he once idolized several international icons during his formative years, modeling his life after them. However, after some reality checks, he realized they were just ordinary people simply deserving of recognition and inspiration, not full-on worship. Self-produced by Gareth, the song draws inspiration from 80s and 90s minor-key Cantopop. It blends rich, dramatic elements with lush pop-classical music strings, creating a dark, stoic atmosphere reminiscent of antihero films. Gareth.T 推出最新广东歌 “偶像已死” 标志着这位唱作歌手的大胆尝试。这首歌的歌词由着名作词家和长期合作伙伴黄伟文创作，对虚假偶像的崇拜进行了批判性反思，然而这主题与每个听众产生了不同的共鸣。偶像崇拜有许多形式，人们常常将思想、物体或甚至个人提升到神圣的地位。 而根据Gareth的自身经历，他在成长过程中亦曾崇拜过几位外国偶像，并以他们为榜样。然而对照现实后，才意识到他们也只是能启发创作和值得被认可的音乐人，而不应该盲目崇拜。 这首歌由 Gareth.T 亲自编曲及监制，灵感来自 80 年代和 90 年代小调粤语流行音乐。它将戏剧性的元素与流行古典音乐弦乐融为一体，营造出一种黑暗、坚忍的氛围，让人想起反英雄电影。 — Composer 作曲：Gareth.T, Teddy Fan Lyricist 作词：黄伟文 Arranger 编曲：Gareth.T, Teddy Fan, Justin Yau, Gabriel De Leon Producer 监制：Gareth.T, Enoch Cheng
