But aside from the introduction of the series ‘identity card, we come to the music of the final credits of the series, which was definitely one of the most important components of the series’ “Under the City Sky”. Music that is still considered as one of the most popular Iranian pop music of the seventies and can be considered as a stream of works that Mehdi Ghafourian as a composer and Amir Tajik as a singer had an effective role in its consolidation and permanence. According to Amir Tajik, the first foundations of its formation were made from the house of Reza Shafiee Jam, and it became one of the most hit songs and music that stood out in the eighties.
Amir Tajik, one of the most popular and vocal singers of Iranian pop music, who can be called one of the pioneers of Iranian pop music in the eighties, was one of his media talkers about his presence in At the same time that the series Under the Sky was being produced, some artists had a hangout centered on the house of Reza Shafiei Jam, an atmosphere in which my friendship with the children of the group Under the Sky began and led to appearing in this popular series as a titular singer. “Under the Sky” collection, which can be described as the best work of Mehran Ghafourian in the field of directing, explained: In the same days that the “Under the City” series was produced, some artists had a hangout centered on Reza Shafiee Jam’s house, a space in My friendship with the children of the group Under the Sky started and led to appearing in this popular series as a titular singer.
When one day Mehdi Ghafourian told me: “My brother (Mehran) is making a series called” Under the City Sky “and we decided that you would take the lead in singing it.” I also agreed to be involved in this project. Of course, first another song was planned for this series, but we found out some time later that this song is not licensed, so we changed the lyrics and then presented it to the Radio and Television Organization, which was finally accepted and the work was the same. Which was presented to the audience.
He, who for a long time used the music of the subtitles under the sky of the city as one of the most popular pieces of his concerts, added in this conversation: We also released the music album “Under the City Sky”. Exactly after this process and the success of the caption music, I was offered to appear in the series “Girls”, and after the agents of the series had tested several singers for the caption of the series, I finally became the final singer of the caption music. I was selected for this series.
This singer, who owns our country’s pop music style and has been producing and making music works without the slightest margins during these years, especially in the national-patriotic spheres, was in another part of the conversation about consolidating his presence on television and confronting producers with this method. He stated: I was introduced due to my collaboration with Mehdi Ghafourian as a composer and Mehran Ghafourian as the director of the series “Under the City Sky”, which was able to present a popular collection to the audience. Circumstances that made me continue my work with this media due to a religious service I had on TV. But unfortunately, later there were misinterpretations by some music producers that made me very sad. But I am still happy that I came with a number of other singers of those years to promote Iranian pop music. We came to give music fame and character. A reputation that, unfortunately, has really disappeared from music after us, and except for a few rare cases, it does not have the content strength of our time.
Tajik was in the media interview, referring to the numerous offers of producers and owners of film and television works to appear in the credits, he said: “After singing the title music of the series” Under the City Sky “, I also sang for several film and television works. But unfortunately, after a while, everything changed a lot and singing caption music entered the business space in a strange way, making money the first and last word. I have even heard and heard many times that some singers even pay to be able to appear in the music of a collection, and this means that you, as an independent artist, are trapped in an adventure that can no longer convey the feeling to the audience because money determines the final conditions. he does.
The singer, whose “Classmate” album is also considered as one of the quality works of pop music, had said in another conversation about the series “Under the City Sky”: “Under the City Sky” was one of the first series to have a song sung on the title track. Been. I would also like to say that the space that existed for music was a pleasant platform for the audience. However, 10 years ago, the atmosphere of music was much more original and there was a special respect that is called the golden age of music. We also started something that was remembered at that time, and it is mostly because of the positive nostalgic atmosphere that remains in people’s memories.
In any case, the title music of the series “Under the City Sky” is definitely one of the highest quality and most memorable melodies related to TV series and series, which at that time, due to the lack of musical facilities, which was very limited, became an acceptable work. It was for the listeners that for years they could travel to an era where everything was different and kinder than it is today.
