What is a ballad?

Folk songs that are popular and give a national color are called ballads or folk songs.

Folk songs have a long history, so their authors are mostly unknown. Folk songs are rich in content, including religion, love, war, work, drinking, dancing and music, festivals, and so on.

Folk songs express the feelings and habits of a nation, so each has its own unique scale and mood style.

For example, the vigor of French folk songs, the enthusiasm of Italian folk songs, the simplicity of English folk songs, the grief and indignation of Japanese folk songs, the wild and uninhibited Spanish folk songs, and the lingering compassion of Chinese folk songs, all show a strong national temperament and color.

This is the interpretation of the folk songs of the previous life in Lin Yi's memory.

But, in layman's terms.

Folk songs are folk songs!

Maybe it's not so lofty, and there are no stars to sing it, but folk songs are people's mouth-to-mouth ballads.

Compared to pop music, there is not much difference!

......

"This one?"

Xue Yao pointed to one of the pages in the small notebook.

At the top, the name of the song is written.

Zebra, Zebra

"It's a ballad, but it's not for ......"

After thinking about it, Lin Yi shook his head slightly.

The song Zebra Zebra is indeed a good ballad, yes, and it has a sense of meaning, but the problem is that the meaning of this song is relatively obscure, simply put, it is not straightforward enough, and it is not deep enough in the hearts of the people! Maybe people with the same experience will love this song to the death, but there are also many people who will express their indifference.

Since it is to promote folk songs, it is necessary to let the people of this world know what folk songs are in the shortest possible time, and accept and approve folk songs......

Zebra zebras are definitely not the best choice!

In order for people who did not understand or even looked down on it to recognize and accept it in the shortest possible time, several elements must be in place.

To put it simply......

Good!

Good!

Still fucking good!

Of course, it's not that zebras and zebras don't sound good.

Instead, what Lin Yi needs is more straightforward and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even if you don't look at the meaning of the lyrics, just singing it is enough to attract people.

"For example......

Lin Yi flipped through the small notebook, and after a while, he selected a poem and asked Xue Yao to come and see it.

"Nanshan Nan"?"

"South Mountain, South Mountain, North Autumn Sad ......"

Xue Yao quickly hummed and sang, after all, her current singing skills and music theory knowledge are not bad, the lyrics and songs are all in her hands, and it is naturally not difficult to sing them.

After a brief hum, she nodded in approval.

"It's a bit simpler and more straightforward, and it sounds easier to understand and accept. ”

"However, one song is not enough ......"

"Then ...... One more song, for you. ”

Lin Yi grinned: "Don't turn it over, it's not in this small book, it's my new one." ”

"Hey, a new work, give it to me, then I'm going to listen to it carefully, please start your performance~"

Xue Yao stretched out his hand......

"Guitar!"

Lin Yi smacked his eyes.

"I'll get it. ”

"I'll go too!"

Two little girls ran to get guitars......

"Grandpa, grandma...... Baba is going to sing!"

While running, he shouted.

However, their tone made Lin Yi full of black lines: "It's Dad, Dad! It's not Baba......!!!

"Got it, Baba......"

Lin Yi: "(╯'□′)╯(┴—┴Flip the table!)

A moment later.

The two little girls came back with their guitars, and their parents followed, but they didn't speak, they just watched quietly, as if to say, we just watched you kid pretend to be forced quietly. Fortunately, Lin Yi didn't feel embarrassed......

Lin Yi is not very proficient in the guitar, so he can only say that he can play.

A few simple flicks, that's all.

"A song "The Girl by the Bridge", for my dear daughter-in-law ......"

Lin Yi spoke.

"Huh!"

Who knows, the young lady immediately pulled her face with her little fingers: "Shame, shame, shame." ”

"Don't be ashamed!" the little sister followed.

“......”

Lin Yi held his forehead with one hand, an uncomfortable batch.

"It's Daddy!!"

Hahaha......

The whole family laughed and had a good time.

......

Two days later.

The fourth day after the audition of "The Voice of China" began.

The sudden new news made Lin Yi's fans confused......

Chartered couple: "I'm a folk singer, I speak for myself!Next, please enjoy my new song, Portal "Nanshan Nan" / "The Girl by the Bridge", I hope you like it, thank you. ”

Look at this Weibo.

Many fans were a little dumbfounded.

"I should have been very happy, but I don't know why, I always feel ...... It's a bit embarrassing!"

"What's the feeling of being a little uncomfortable?

"Folk Songs...... What song is this?"

"So what the hell is a folk singer? Isn't the king an all-round singer who can sing anything?"

"Wouldn't it be nice to have some mortal songs and old boys or something? So what the hell is a ballad?"

There is only one question that fans have the most......

What the hell is a ballad?!

However, no one can give a convincing answer to what it is.

The noisy and noisy had no result, and in the end there was only a compromise.

It doesn't matter what he is, at least it's a song! If it's a song, it's up to me, but it's a big deal that there's a question of whether it's good or not, isn't it simple?

If it sounds good, you will listen to it, if it is not good, you will not listen to it, and by the way, you will have to scold the king and force him not to do his job!?

As a music enthusiast, Liu Mang likes all kinds of good music the most.

Especially after becoming more and more mature, he no longer likes to listen to love songs.

After all, love songs are such a thing, after a certain age, it is rare to be able to hear the feeling again.

On the contrary, it was works like "Old Boy" and "Mortal Song" that made him love it, and he also 'returned to his place' and became a member of Lin Yi's fans.

Liu Mang also doesn't know what a folk song is.

But he knows that now, he can't listen to the works of other singers anymore, except for some classic old songs, what he is looking forward to the most is Lin Yi's new songs.

Now, Lin Yi's new song is out.

Although it is a 'ballad' for unknown reasons, if you listen to it, it is certain.

With curiosity, anticipation and apprehension, Liu Mang clicked on "Nanshan Nan".

Soon......

End of the prelude.

In the melodious and low accompaniment, Lin Yi's singing voice came out slowly.

"You're in the southern sun, and the snow is falling

I am in the cold night in the north, and the four seasons are like spring

If it's too late before dark, I'm going to forget your eyes

Extremely poor in life, I can't finish a dream

He no longer talks to anyone about the isolated island of encounter

Because my heart has long been deserted

He can't hold a home in his heart

Be a mute who only lies to yourself

He said that you are beautiful in any way that is praised

It's not as good as the first time he met you

Time lingers and there is nothing to be done

If all the lands are joined together

Embark on a lifetime just to embrace you

......”
