Chapter 489: A pot of wandering, wandering around the world is hard to swallow
The prelude of this song has a soft, gentle, smooth and steady melody. It is clearly played with Western instruments, but it presents a classical and elegant beauty. The modern singing style presents a gentle and low singing voice. The whole style is slightly sad, but not too sad.
Sad but not hurt, happy but not licentious.
This was the goal that Jiang Yuhe had always wanted to achieve, but today he heard it from Lin Fan.
The prelude is over.
"A lamp of sorrow
Standing alone at the window
I'm behind the door, pretending you're still here
Revisiting an old place
The full moon makes me more lonely
The candlelight awake at midnight
Can't bear to blame me——"
If the use of the piano in the prelude is a classic example of modern instruments restoring classical melodies, then the addition of the pipa at the beginning is a stroke of genius! The sound of the pipa is crisp, bright, and has strong penetrating power. The moment the pipa strings move, the invisible barrier between the ancient and the modern is broken.
The use of classic folk traditional instruments, lyrics that sound like classical poetry, and the long and continuous melody easily bring everyone into the story of the song.
In the story, the familiar feelings, unforgettable people and events touch the softest part of everyone's heart and stir everyone's heartstrings, making people yearn for the lost past and long to go back to the past and be with that person again.
However, time has passed, and the past can only become a memory, which is heavy and difficult to overcome.
"A pot of drift
Wandering around the world is hard to swallow
After you left, the wine warmed the memories and the yearning thinned
Water flows eastwards How does time steal
Flowers bloom and mature at once
I missed—"
An indescribable longing and sadness surged in his heart. At this moment, Jiang Yuhe seemed to travel through time and space and saw the people in the story, one waiting alone, the other wandering around the world. They were separated by two places, each with their own side, and only longing connected them together.
What shocked Jiang Yuhe the most was Lin Fan's ability in writing lyrics.
So far, there is not a single word in this song that mentions "sorrow" and "hurt", but the faint sadness and melancholy fills every line of the lyrics.
Lin Fan uses a lot of imagery to transform the invisible and intangible emotions that can only be felt with the heart into almost tangible entities such as "wandering" and "end of the world", giving the audience a broader imagination space and intensifying their sense of empathy.
In addition, this method of incorporating ancient poetry into songs allows ancient poetry to be integrated with modern pop music, breaking the current pattern of separating new poetry and lyrics. The lyrics alternate between ancient and modern times, giving a sense of the interweaving of time and space.
Coupled with the song's ancient minor tune style, supplemented by the integration of classical instruments, the retro style presents a feeling of wandering in the world of classical poetry, making people feel as if they are in that prosperous era when people sang while playing swords and chanted poems to the moon!
It's perfect!
Jiang Yuhe couldn't find any words to describe his feelings at the moment. He just felt that such a style of music and such lyrics could perhaps only be written by someone like Lin Fan!
Yi Xiaobo, who was standing by, was completely shocked. His eyes were as big as bells and his mouth was wide open enough to fit an egg in! If there was a machine that could translate brain waves, then at this moment, Yi Xiaobo would probably have only one word echoing in his mind:
Beep! These are all blocked words that cannot be played out.
However, as if the disdain was not shocking enough, a piece of pipa and drum beats broke in, like a sigh, or like a memory forcibly tearing apart the years, revealing mottled light and shadow, and the black and white memories gradually became stained with bright colors:
"Who is playing the pipa?
A song of Dongfengpo
Years peeling off the wall
See when I was a kid
I still remember that year when we were still very young. And now the sound of the piano is faint
You haven’t heard my waiting—”
But the beauty only lasts for a moment, and memories are always just memories. Years are the mottled moss on the wall and the light and shadow that cannot be grasped by fingertips. The clear sound flows, and time destroys it. I don’t know where to find the beloved anymore. I am the only one left at this time and place, alone and haggard.
Everything has been predestined, and the ending cannot be changed. Starting over again is just wishful thinking, just like fallen flowers and flowing water, time cannot be stolen.
"Who is playing the song of Dongfengpo on the pipa? Maple leaves color the story.
I see the ending
I'll lead you along the ancient path outside the fence
The Years of Smoke and Grass
Even the breakup was silent—"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The evening breeze blew gently, and countless people had red eyes and wet faces this night.
…
The eighth episode has not yet come to an end, but a wave of madness has already been set off on the Internet!
Many singers who haven't taken a break yet have been tagged crazily by netizens, calling them to come out and listen to their songs. Even last year's Golden Melody Award winner Ding Ruirui is no exception.
Ding Ruirui was busy with a press conference and had given her phone to her assistant for safekeeping. When she came out after recording the show, she saw her assistant approaching her with an incredible expression on her face: "Sister Ruirui, your blog has exploded!"
Ding Ruirui took the phone without knowing what was going on, opened Chaobo, and immediately saw a very conspicuous icon under her account.
Private message 99+.
There are more than a dozen pages of new comments, all of which recommend a new song to themselves. Well, the name is quite nice, it’s called "Dongfengpo".
Ding Ruirui clicked it and heard a soothing and elegant melody, followed by Lin Fan's highly recognizable voice, singing softly: "A lamp of sorrow, standing alone at the window——"
The assistant felt as if a bright light flashed before his eyes. He looked carefully and found that it was Ding Ruirui's eyes that were flashing...
Okay, it's a bit exaggerated, but it's an indisputable fact that Ding Ruirui's pupils were shaking violently.
But this is not important. What is important is: "Hey, this song is so special. There is a kind of beauty that is hard to describe..."
As the assistant of Ding Ruirui, a two-time Golden Melody Award winner and a top-tier singer, her ability to appreciate music is still up to par. Of course, this song is so obviously excellent that even people with no appreciation can hear its uniqueness.
However, Ding Ruirui didn't seem to hear what the assistant said. Instead, she looked over with red eyes, like a madman: "Quick! Call my agent! Tell him to go and make an appointment with Lin Fan for a song right now! Just this style of music! As long as Lin Fan is willing to write a song of this style for me, I don't want a single cent of the dividends!"
The assistant was startled. She had never seen Ding Ruirui lose her composure like this before. She quickly responded, "I'll call right away!"
When Ding Ruirui saw that her assistant had made the call, she no longer cared about what was happening on the other end. Instead, she listened to the song "Dong Feng Po" eagerly, with an ambiguous light flashing in her eyes.
And the same thing is happening in every corner of the music industry.
It’s just that the public cannot know what’s going on between the singers and their managers, but everyone can see the netizens’ revelry.
The most direct evidence is that the eighth episode of "The Yard I Long For" has just finished airing, and the new song has not yet been officially released. In order to hear this song, the majority of netizens have pushed the playback volume of the eighth episode to 200 million! And it is still rising! I admit that in order to promote it, I went all out~! Where are your votes? (End of this chapter)
