After the song ended, everyone was unable to remain calm.
"In this song, I found an indescribable sense of dark resonance, which was very comforting, as if I had found myself! Maybe my inner self is rather dark!"
"Last night, I played rock-paper-scissors in front of the mirror and actually won twice. I was quite happy at first, but then I realized something was wrong..."
"It has an eerie feel from beginning to end. Although the song is somewhat ghostly, the singer from Kyushu is still quite something."
"That's right, incorporating music box melodies is unique. This is the first time I've heard of such a format. Has electronic music in Kyushu really developed to this level?"
"..."
"Cradles" not only captures a unique sense of darkness, but also, to some extent, reflects the environment in which people with depression live.
When depression strikes, their world is neither a clear, dazzling blue nor a pitch-black black, but a gray that lies between the two.
The song vividly portrays a persistent sadness, loss of interest and joy, and a lack of motivation for daily activities.
Judging from the song's structure, there is indeed a sense of depression within it.
Bei Chen chose this song because its decadent, melancholic, and dark electronic music style is relatively rare and can attract people immediately.
But in Lu Jiuning's mind, this was a true reflection of Bei Chen.
Did he once feel that redemption was also a form of torment?
"Thank you to Beichen from Kyushu for bringing a unique electronic music song."
Brando's perception of North Dust has changed significantly.
He was gradually putting away his initial contempt.
Brando's words awakened the audience, who began to applaud enthusiastically.
It's the complete opposite of the stagnant pool it used to be.
That's the power of good music; it can transcend skin color, region, and country.
"Young man from Kyushu, sing one more song!"
"That's right, it's great, one more song!"
"One more song!"
"..."
Having listened to so much of Brando's music, audiences are naturally more willing to listen to something new when more innovative original electronic music emerges.
Hearing the cheers of so many people, Bei Chen knew that he had successfully taken the first step.
The next step is to deeply embed ourselves in the hearts of these people, which will definitely be of great benefit to the bars we open in the future.
"Then let's have one more!"
Song: "Closer"
Singers: Bei Chen, Lu Jiuning
Lyrics and music by Bei Chen
(Actually produced by The Chainsmokers, and sung by Andrew Taggart and singer Halsey.)
Lu Jiuning was invited to the stage by Bei Chen.
When the two stood together, the audience below the stage was amazed by their good looks.
A gentleman as beautiful as jade, unparalleled in the world.
A single glance from a crowd reveals a beauty that makes all other colors of the world seem like dust.
The two of them stood together, as if they had stepped out of a painting.
They smiled at each other; it had been a long time since they had sung together.
For this song, Bei Chen used a track by The Chainsmokers, who at their peak climbed to 6th place in the world's top 100 DJs, which is quite impressive.
Closer is one of their representative works.
If the previous song was a stepping stone, then this one is the work that officially opens up the European and American markets.
The prelude consists of a somber piano sound and electronic music that comes from afar and then gets closer and closer.
Just like a movie shot, it pulls the camera closer from afar, making people feel more and more expectant.
At the 10-second mark, Bei Chen's singing began:
Hey, I was doing just fine.
before I met you
(I was perfectly fine before I met you)
I drink too much.
(I'm a little drunk)
“And that’s an issue but I’m okay”
(This is a problem, but I'm okay.)
"..."
Bei Chen's singing has a bit more warmth than the previous "Cradles," and it's no longer so gloomy, but it carries a touch of decadence and languor.
Even though the accompaniment uses finger snaps to extract sounds and other sound effects to increase the sense of rhythm and make the melody more upbeat, it cannot stop the faint longing in the singing.
Those were symptoms after breaking up with his girlfriend; his heart felt like it was missing a piece, and no matter what he did, it couldn't be filled.
Especially at the beginning of the breakup, it felt like even breathing was tearing at my heart.
The melancholy man after his breakup is portrayed by Bei Chen with his extremely solid and magnetic voice.
"And four years without calls"
(Not a single phone call in four years)
“Now you ' re lookin ' pretty in a hotel bar”
(You look so stunning sitting in the bar area now)
"And III can't stop."
(I couldn't help myself)
"No, I can't stop."
(I couldn't help but walk towards you)
The preceding part is Bei Chen's melancholic self-narration. It wasn't until he met his ex again four years later that his singing finally gained color, and his singing style also changed significantly.
Facing Bei Chen was Lu Jiuning, whom he deeply loved. It was incredibly easy for him to express this feeling of affection.
That profound love is palpable.
It is this transformation, combined with the lyrics, that brings the song to life.
The first chorus soon followed: "So baby pull me closer."
(My dear is in the back seat of your Land Rover)
"In the backseat of your Rover"
(Let me get closer to you)
"That I know you can ' t afford"
(I know you can't afford it)
As if he didn't need to breathe, Bei Chen sang all eight lines of the chorus in one breath.
Here, the king-level singing skills are displayed to the fullest.
Most people would be out of breath after just two sentences, let alone eight.
Subsequently:
“We ain ' t ever getting older”
(We will never grow old)
This sentence was followed by a long string of electronic music interludes.
The future bass style of electronic music incorporates some hip-hop elements. Although it is not as intense, it has a cool and psychedelic feel.
The fluctuating rhythm assaults the eardrums, making one unable to resist tapping their leg.
Then, the dialogue quickly and naturally transitioned to a female voice: ...
