A few days ago, when Su Can released "Fireworks Fade Easily," it immediately topped the charts.

Most listeners believe that this song is comparable to Su Can's own classic Chinese-style song "Blue and White Porcelain"!

Both are elegant Chinese-style melodies, a perfect combination of various Chinese-style music and Western instruments.

The elegant and poetic lyrics are vivid and evocative, easily drawing listeners into the story they tell.

At the time, there were even music critics who analyzed the song.

The story is set against the backdrop of a time of war and is told from the perspective of a female protagonist who has entered a Buddhist monastery and lives a vegetarian life while chanting Buddhist prayers.

The female protagonist is waiting for a general to arrive, but he never comes.

Many images in the story reveal a tragic undertone.

"Waiting in vain, facing life and death," "The Pagoda," "Always alone," "You still guard the lonely city," "Waiting again"...

Numerous symbolic elements suggest that the general has died on the battlefield, his lonely soul lingering in the city, unwilling to leave, while the female protagonist spends her life with only the company of a Buddhist lamp and ancient Buddha.

It is a complete tragedy.

The beautiful lyrics, from beginning to end, revolve around the word "wait".

Amidst the profound melody, Su Can, with his somber voice, expresses the heroine's heart-wrenching infatuation.

The word "wait" in this song has a completely different connotation from the word "wait" in "Blue and White Porcelain".

In the story of "Blue and White Porcelain," the male protagonist, captivated by the female protagonist's fleeting smile, clung to his beautiful expectations of love, waiting for her return in the water towns of Jiangnan.

This kind of waiting is tender, sweet, and the bittersweet feeling of first love.

It's like a green olive, astringent at first taste, but leaves a lingering fragrance and an unforgettable aftertaste!

And the waiting in "Fireworks Fade Easily" is a deadly bitter almond!

The general is dead, the heroine becomes a nun, and the childhood sweethearts' affection turns to ashes.

The song's somber and low-key tone is like the desolate wind and rain of a cold night in an ancient temple, chilling to the bone.

That was a kind of endless despair!

Netizens are obsessed with the divine intro of "Fireworks Fade Easily".

The repetition of "# (fa)" with a slight addition of a high note gives a sense of old-fashioned heaviness.

The moment the ascension was announced, the atmosphere was immediately filled with sadness, and the emotion was palpable.

The intro is typical of Chinese music, and the opening is extremely catchy.

The somber and melancholic melody, rich in classical flavor and imbued with a profound sense of history, transcends time and space, slowly unfolding a beautiful yet tragic love story before the listener.

However, at this moment, as Yu Xiaonuo stood on the stage, the prelude completely changed.

The original divine prelude has been removed.

A light and melodious guzheng tune was introduced.

The melody no longer possesses the extremely melancholic atmosphere of the original prelude.

Like a clear spring flowing at night, or like a sky full of stars reflected in a clear spring.

Although a sense of sadness was spreading, it was like a wisp of sandalwood incense, drifting gently.

The cool blue light shone softly on Yu Xiaonuo.

The handsome but melancholic young man raised the microphone.

He started singing!

"The noise of prosperity has vanished into the Buddhist temple, leaving the world in despair."

"My dreams are cold, and I wander through life; how many debts of love do I have to repay?"

"If you agree, then I will wait in vain, for life and death."

"Waiting endlessly for the next ring of the tree to grow."

Initially, there were many comments in the live chat saying that no matter how Yu Xiaonuo sang, she could never surpass Su Can's version.

Some people are predicting that Su Can is only thinking of using his own hit songs to boost Yu Xiaonuo's popularity.

However, they failed to consider that Yu Xiaonuo's vocal abilities were completely unsuitable for the song "Fireworks Fade Easily"!

Because Yu Xiaonuo's timbre is so bright, with delicate ending notes, her singing is particularly ethereal and beautiful.

This contradicts the artistic conception of "Fireworks Fade Easily".

Many people say that Su Can is forcing the ancient temple theme into his writing, which is as restrictive as writing a rigid, formulaic essay.

Unexpectedly, the moment Yu Xiaonuo opened her mouth, the entire audience was amazed!

Why does this song sound completely different?

Yu Xiaonuo's voice was clear and melodious, ethereal and beautiful!

"The pagoda has broken several stories, and whose soul has it broken?"

"I rushed straight to the mountain gate where a flickering lamp had collapsed."

"Let me wait a little longer, and history will turn around."

"Waiting for the wine to be fragrant and mellow, waiting for you to play a tune on the guzheng."

The audience was shocked!

When the song reached this point, the novel arrangement and superb singing skills brought out the song's layers to the fullest!

The first verse is about the devoted waiting and the deep love without regret!

The second verse is a tender recollection, a tacit understanding of waiting for the wine to become fragrant and mellow, and raising a glass together with a close friend and a beautiful woman!

These two interpretations of the lyrics are completely different from Su Can's version, yet each has its own merits!

The number of comments surged.

[Oh my god, this sounds amazing!]

[A divine melody fills the ears!]

I never expected someone could sing with such heartfelt emotion!

[While I can't say it surpasses Su Can's version, it's definitely on par with it; both versions are absolutely amazing!]

[Stop messing around, both versions were written by CanCan!]

[I can only say that this new arrangement is perfect for Yu Xiaonuo!]

I'm starting to look forward to the high notes in the chorus!

Yu Xiaonuo switched her voice.

His pitch suddenly rose, but unlike what is common in the pop music scene, he didn't resort to wild howling and wailing to create the illusion that the louder the voice, the better the singing skills.

Instead, she switched to a more tender and ethereal singing style, mainly using breathy vocals, to sing this beautiful chorus.

"The rain falls in torrents, and the grass and trees grow deep in my old hometown."

I've heard that you've always been alone.

"The mottled city gate is covered with old tree roots."
