Chapter 509: Music Can Still Be Played Like This
This song is so famous.
The song is familiar to audiences in Asia, especially in countries within the Chinese-speaking cultural circle.
At Black Hole's just-concluded Asian tour, this song is also an inevitable one.
However, the concert version is obviously not as grand as this version, whether it is the arrangement, the size of the staff, or the level of the accompanying orchestra, this version is also the most magnificent of all the previous versions of the black hole.
At the end of the song, the applause was overwhelming, and the Chinese audience was also honored.
Look! This is the wrist of our country!
Cao Wu took off his guitar and walked towards the edge of the stage.
As he moved, the crowd below the stage cheered, and the broadcast signal was transmitted via satellite to audiences in 137 countries.
Some viewers who don't know them can't help but mutter, is this band so famous?
A piano was placed on the sub-stage where the stage extended, and the four of them came to the piano together and sat down.
There was a microphone on the lid, and the four of them suddenly spoke at the same time.
“is?this the real life?”
"It's real life,"
“is this just fantasy?”
"Or is it a dream?"
“caught in a landslide,”
"In trouble,"
“no escape from reality,”
"There is no escaping reality,"
They are like a small choir, with high and low voices, and they seem to be extremely harmonious.
Qing Song stretched out his hand and pressed the keys, and an ordinary and unusual melody appeared.
“open your eyes,”
"Open your eyes,"
“look up to the skies and see……”
"Gazing at the Sky ......"
Cao Wu's voice came to the fore, and the three of them made harmony for him, and the cameraman pulled the picture to a close-up and gave him a close-up.
He was in a strange state, as if he was stuck in some kind of memory.
But the audience didn't notice it, they just thought the song was interesting, was it a chorus, or was it an opera?
“i'm just a poor boy, i need no sympathy,”
"I'm a poor boy, I don't need any sympathy,"
“because i'm easy come, easy go,”
"Because I come and go freely,"
“a little high, little low,”
"Fate ups and downs,"
“anyway the wind blows,doesn't really matter to me,”
"Let the world change, what does it have to do with me?"
“to me”
"No different from me"
The three of them suddenly got up and walked towards their respective instruments, and Cao Wu stepped on the pedal and pressed the strings heavily.
A melody similar to Fang Cai, but much heavier, appeared, and he put his mouth close to the microphone and sang some of them.
“mama,just killed a man,”
"Mom, I just killed someone,"
“put a gun against his head,”
"Put a gun to his head,"
“pulled my trigger,now he's dead,”
"Pulled the trigger, and now he's dead,"
“mama, life had just begun,”
"Mom, life has just begun,"
“but now i've gone and thrown it all away!”
"But now I've completely destroyed it!"
“mama!woo~!”
"Mom!woo~!"
“didn't mean to make you cry,”
"I didn't mean to make you cry,"
“if i'm not back again this time tomorrow!”
"If I don't come back by this time tomorrow!"
“carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters……”
"Hold on, hold on, as if nothing happened......"
Nearly half of the 137 countries have English as their official language.
Compared to the previous song "Dreaming Back to the Tang Dynasty", this "Bohemian Rhapsody" is undoubtedly much easier to understand and more interesting to them.
From the operatic chorus in the first section to the solo singing in the second section, the audience finally heard the theme of the song from the lyrics.
It's an anti-war song.
The sad melody and singing tone cast a sad color on the song, and the mother before the whining resonated with everyone.
In many languages, mom and dad are pronounced mama and baba, two of the most primitive words that existed even before the advent of language.
Therefore, even the audience who could not understand English could understand the emotions that the singer wanted to express from the mama in the lyrics.
“mama!woo~!”
"Mom!woo~!"
“i don't want to die!”
"I don't want to die!"
“i sometimes wish i'd never been born at all!”
"I sometimes wish I had never existed!"
Cao Wu tilted his head and his mournful roar plunged all the audience into a wave of surging emotions, and the high-pitched electric guitar solo further pushed this emotion to the extreme.
Suddenly, actors in theatrical costumes ran onto the stage, electric guitars, bass, and drums stopped at the same time, the piano suddenly changed into a playful and eerie style, the actors joined the chorus, and Cao Wu's ten fingers jumped on the piano like a mischievous goblin.
“i see a little silhouetto of a man,”
"I see a silhouette,"
“scaramouche, scaramouche will you do the fandango?”
"Joker, clown, do you know how to dance Van Dango?"
The audience was bewildered by the sudden change, and only a part of the audience in Europe recognized the costumes of the actors, which were those of the actors in the old-fashioned burlesque ballet "Petrushka".
Suddenly, the thunder and lightning simulated by the sound of drums and cymbals rumbled! All the actors sang together!
“thunderbolt and lightning!very very frightening me!”
"Lightning and thunder!
Immediately, the actors repeated their comical shouts in different vocal ranges.
“galileo!galileo!”
“galileo!galileo!”
“galileo!figaro!”
“magnifico!”
The actors dressed as Petroshka begged to sing, and the rest of the cast echoed with the harmonic choir.
“but i'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me!”
"But, I'm a poor boy and no one likes me!"
“he's just a poor boy from a poor family!”
"He's just a poor kid from a poor family!"
“spare him his life from this monstrosity!”
"Rescue him from this strange appearance!"
……
On the stage, Cao Wu was completely entertained, sometimes he played the piano heartily, sometimes waved his arms, and guided all the actors to sing like a conductor.
The change of high and low vocal ranges, the tacit understanding of the alternation of voices, the whole stage seems to be transformed into a precision instrument that works cooperatively.
The intricate arrangement and performance method made many audience members dizzy, they were a little confused, some were incompetent, and they couldn't even discern what kind of song it was.
However, in China, in 137 countries, all those engaged in the music industry, whether it is singers, producers, recording engineers, composers, music professors, music critics, or media people, radio DJs and even record company presidents, after hearing this song, it is as if they are petrified at the same time, or surprised, surprised, shocked, or moved to listen carefully, do not dare to move, for fear of missing any detail.
At the moment, there was only one thought in the minds of all of them.
Music can still be played like this?!
