Chapter 252: Yellow
Lookatthestars,
Lookhowtheyshineforyou,
Andeverythingyoudo,
Yeah,theywereallYellow
Look up at the stars in the sky
Watch them shine for you
And you are so cowardly and careful
Follow you
I'll write a love song for you
Because of the timidity you show to be careful
The title of the song is YELLOW
Look, the stars shine brightly for you
Look, the stars shine brightly for you
Look! how dazzling they are
Look, the stars shine brightly for you
Look, the stars shine brightly for you
Look, the stars shine brightly for you
Look up at the stars
Watch them shine for you
And your gestures are so timid and shy
Li Youyang closed his eyes and quietly followed this melody that he was familiar with on earth, and there was indescribable excitement in this familiarity
That's right, it's "Yellow", I have to say that this parallel space is really inextricably linked to the earth, especially reflected in this lot of music, and at this moment, the world's musical genius Bill Hughes presents this classic track from the Earth Coldplay, even the original presentation. Every melody, even every lyric, is exactly right!
Look, the stars shine brightly for you
Look, the stars shine brightly for you
Look, the stars shine brightly for you
Indeed, because of this song. The stars shine for you, and because of this song, when Lee was on Earth, he also paid attention to Coldplay for the first time - Coldplay, a great band, and one of the most popular rock bands in the British rock music scene after entering the new century, and is also a winner of eight Grammy Awards. And the Grammys are in the music world of the planet. Just like the Oscars in the film industry, it is recognized as the most authoritative music award in the world! How wide the influence is!
So what does this song "yellow" mean to Coldplay? Li Youyang doesn't know the deep meaning, he only knows that the completion of this song "YELLOW" allowed Coldplay to completely pave the way for the success of the subsequent album that year. It has even finally entered the Chinese market. It has fascinated many Chinese singers. It's like Li Youyang has an in-depth understanding of this band for the first time, and has done many covers.
So, for the song "yellow", although it ranked 4th on the UK charts that year and only 48th on the US charts, it is indeed a far cry from the results of their later glittering single "Paradise", but it is in the hearts of most fans, especially Chinese fans. This song "Yellow" is a well-deserved masterpiece of Coldplay!
So, in July of that year, the album production of this song was completed. The release gig was at HMV Records on Oxford Street, and people lined up on the streets. The band became the front page of "MME" and the acclaim swept the world of COLDPLAY. It took only a few weeks for the album to reach No. 1 on the UK album sales chart. Soon the album was nominated for the MercuryMusicPrize, and after a few unplugged performances of "YELLOW" and "SHIVER" on radio that same month, the band finally held an unplugged concert of the entire album at Ronnie Scotts in Birmingham!
It's a hugely iconic and great song, and now, such a song has been discovered by a music festival in the world!
One reason is that the appearance of this song "Yellow" really surprised him, and he even included this song in his recent English playlist, and once thought about letting Li Yiyi try to sing it, but now it seems that there is obviously no way for this song to be released in this world by himself, and he is really a little regretful.
On the other hand, the moment Bill Hughes, who has silver hair and looks like an elf prince on stage with his band, discovers an unusual taste! And when Bill Hughes holds the guitar and sits down with the other musicians, this unusualness is completely confirmed!
Unplugged!
A singer or a band is the most expressive and confident way to sing songs!
Unplugged, which literally translates to 'unplugged'. The term 'unplugged' originally meant 'no (main) socket' and refers to a live form of pop music performance that does not use electronic musical instruments and is not modified by electronic devices. It also refers to a form of music that abandons the effect of an all-electroacoustic band. It achieves a more original and unpretentious 'unplugged' effect by using acoustic instruments as much as possible to achieve a pure tone. In contrast to distorted sound that has been retouched by electronic equipment, 'unplugged' musicians try to maintain the simplicity of their music with authentic voices and native instruments such as piano, acoustic guitar, wooden bass, or human applause.
'Unplugged' is a rejection of the highly artificially crafted pop music produced by multi-track recording and electronic sound synthesis technology, and is intended to maintain the simplicity and authenticity of pop music, and advocate the superb live performance skills. 'Unplugged' does not mean that electroacoustic devices are completely free, and 'electric' instruments and equipment such as microphones, jazz organs, vibraphones, and hollow electric guitars can still be used, while electronic instruments and equipment such as synthesizers, electric guitars with various effects, electronic drums, MIDI equipment, digital mixers, etc., should be disabled. MTV has a Uplug program that specially invites famous singers to perform in an 'unplugged' format on the spot. Many singers have also released 'unplugged' albums to show their strength and show their skills.
In short, unplugged is a product of the saturation of electroacoustic instruments, a rebellion against 'multi-track recording and electronic audio synthesis'. Especially on Earth, about 10 years ago, the bandstand introduced such a performance format. Because all rock bands are represented by distorted guitars or particularly strong drums, whether it's heavy music or other music. So when they perform, they rely on this kind of powerful drum sound and distorted guitar sound to shock the audience, in fact, the audience often ignores the song itself and the music itself in addition to shocking.
Returning to the original state of music, in fact, as a song, they are all written from the mood, from one state, to another state. In the early days, there was an idea of unplugged because of this, and soon, there were really great bands that did wonderful unplugged performances. Later, too much, too much. ALMOST ALL GOOD BANDS, SUCH AS NIRVANA, DO UNPLUGGED GIGS.
The unplugged live was relatively close to the audience, very quiet, and many musicians performed seated, accompanied by a very quiet acoustic guitar. The chorus of music, in the distorted guitar, is often a dubbing wall, and there are no relatively thin notes, and the color of the chorus changes. Audiences tend to ignore what's in the music. When not plugged in, all the factors will be expressed through the granularity of the acoustic guitar. And he is very close to the audience, the communication is very cordial, and the voice is relatively relaxed. Therefore, it is often very easy to enter the artistic conception of this music. Unplugged might be just that.
Unplugged requires a lot of technical requirements and live control for the band members, and without the cover of heavy timbre, it is a challenge for any musician to present many details to the audience up close.
And now, Bill Hughes is obviously carrying out such a challenge, and they have succeeded, in fact, according to Bill Hughes's current attainments and identity, it is not uncommon for the challenge to be unplugged once, and it is not uncommon to succeed. However, when he saw them singing this English song that he was very familiar with on stage, Li Youyang breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart that he was still prescient, he was rehearsing that song in the past few days, and the next song to be performed is also that song, otherwise in front of Bill Hughes's powerful "Yellow", the odds are really difficult to say.
