Lu Jiuyuan's additional characteristic is that he has a very strong sense of narrative.
This sense of narrative is like adding wings to a tiger in this song.
The four "most feared" things, once revealed, sent a shiver down one's spine.
I fear most when friends suddenly show concern, I fear reminiscing, and I fear hearing news about you.
Honestly, after starting work, how many people aren't afraid of these three things?
Have you also noticed that those people you used to be very close to have gradually drifted apart?
After starting work, besides dealing with colleagues, finding a friend to confide in has become a luxury.
Beautiful memories are always forgotten, while unpleasant scenes keep unfolding.
I've tried so many times to get them out of my mind, but I just can't.
As for hearing news about you, it's not that I'm afraid to hear it, but rather that I'm afraid that after hearing it, all I'll be able to think about is you...
These four short lines, requiring no advanced skills, have already deeply touched the heart and soul.
The chorus then follows:
I suddenly miss you so much, where are you?
"Whether you are happy or upset"
"Suddenly I miss you so much, suddenly the memories are so sharp."
"Suddenly blurry eyes"
Many singers can achieve high notes by lowering their throat, using a deep breath, or other methods.
Lu Jiuyuan's high notes are different; he uses nasal resonance to reach them, improving the quality of his high notes through nasal resonance.
This can make the singing voice fuller and more magnetic.
The high notes in the chorus are accompanied by a powerful string arrangement, creating a harmonious and unified sound.
In addition, Lu Jiuyuan's unique narrative style elevates the quality of the chorus by countless times.
Combined with the lyrics, it's truly music that touches the heart.
Why did you take me on the most unforgettable trip?
"Then leave behind the most painful souvenir."
Two minutes after that, an electric guitar solo began.
This solo and harmonies are arguably the most essential part of the song, and of course, it's played by Lin Sen.
The entire process consists of four short solo sections, lasting over 40 seconds, which is very difficult, but Lin Sen can complete it in one go.
The first half of the solo mainly uses techniques such as slides, hammer-ons, and fretting to guide the tone of the electric guitar, dividing it into a melodic range and making the overall direction linearly upward.
This results in a melody that becomes increasingly uplifting and rhythmic, with a distinct and clear quality.
The combination of drumbeats propelled the song to its first climax.
It is here that the vocals come in, which speeds up the rhythm of the guitar solo in the second half.
"We were so sweet, so beautiful, so full of faith."
"So crazy, so passionate, back then."
Why us?
"We will all grow old, each pursuing our own happiness and regrets."
Each solo measure has a different melody, with a strong sense of harmony reminiscent of jazz, which, combined with Lu Jiuyuan's increasingly high air pressure, pushes the song to its climax.
Lin Zhixia can be said to be the first person Lu Jiuyuan wanted to have a serious talk with.
In other words, he had never been in a real relationship before.
To capture the emotions of this song, he watched over a dozen tear-jerking romance movies, just to remember the feeling of lovers who couldn't be together in the end.
Then it all accumulated until today, and now it's all erupting.
Such an effect is undoubtedly a success.
At that moment, everyone's emotions surged uncontrollably with the melody.
It felt as if all my pores had been punctured.
All other thoughts were washed away, leaving only the singing and guitar sounds swirling in my mind.
Even my head unconsciously wanted to sway to the beat.
Holy crap, that part was so awesome! I felt every cell in my body shaking.
[666, this part is much more exciting than the guitar solo of "The World Won't Collapse" just now.]
[This is perfect for Teacher Lin Sen! No wonder he came out of retirement; there's a reason for it!]
Let alone ordinary people feeling like they've been electrocuted, Lin Sen was the one who heard this and his body trembled uncontrollably.
A voice inside him cried out: I must play this piece, I absolutely must!
And so, he really came...
"My greatest fear is that I'll live this life without you."
"But then, suddenly, I heard news of you."
When things reach their climax, it's time to end them.
Lu Jiuyuan did not rush to end things, but gradually suppressed his emotions.
Combined with the final piano music, it conveys a sense of detachment and tranquility after choosing to let go.
The song ended at 4 minutes and 25 seconds.
[Anything you hear is guaranteed to be a masterpiece from Mr. Mask!]
I've also noticed that Mr. Mask has released seven or eight songs, and not a single one of them is bad.
But why do I feel this song leans more towards pop than rock?
[Yes, I think so too. They even use piano in the arrangement; it's probably pseudo-rock!]
Whether a song is good or not can be known immediately upon listening.
However, whether this song is rock has become a topic of discussion, both online and in the audience.
Since the debate has yielded no results, and everyone's attention has turned back to Karen, it would be more convincing to have a professional explain it.
Karen asserted without hesitation: "Whether it's pseudo-rock or not, we first need to define what rock is."
Rock and roll has no specific form or style.
Its performance style can be free and bold, unrestricted by traditional musical forms.
Rock bands typically include basic instruments such as guitar, bass, and drums, but may also include keyboards and other effects pedals; there is no fixed definition.
This piece uses piano arrangement and does not deviate from the rock genre.
Such rock music does exist, but it is relatively rare, and it usually leans more towards pop rock, or a more soothing kind of rock.
In fact, piano rock does exist.
Rock music that uses a piano or a piano-like instrument such as an electronic keyboard instead of a rhythm guitar as an accompaniment instrument.
Of course, piano rock is not as famous as classical rock, simply because the former is gentler and not as passionate as classical rock.
To compensate for this, Mr. Mask added a string section to the arrangement, which made the overall effect more magnificent.
And that guitar solo came at just the right time.
If the entire piece is accompanied by guitar, then the presence of this guitar solo will be greatly reduced.
Conversely, if the piano is used at the beginning, the guitar solo that follows will be more prominent and stunning...
Overall, this song belongs to the pop-rock genre.
Karen had explained it so clearly that the debate over pseudo-rock gradually subsided.
Then someone might wonder, "I wonder what score Karen would give this one?"
