Chapter 850: The Dawn

After a super electronic dance song "Samsara", which turned everyone's ears and broke everyone's nerves, the concert did not end.

Because, if the "Blind Date and Love" sung by the first four girls is the finale of this visiting performance, then such a "Samsara" and the following piece are also planned by Li Youyang to be performed on Niemen Island.

The only difference is that after the song and song were written, it was originally planned for Chen Ying, Nie Yudan, Dong Xueqin, and Xiahou Yaoyao to sing Dianya and the Dream Angel Dance Troupe together, but they never thought that the crash would cause all four of them to be injured and unable to dance, so at this time, four people were singing, and Dianya and the Dream Angel girl were simply dancing together.

According to the normal process, this dance was sung before the four songs in front of Chen Ying and the others, and now because Dianya and the others had just arrived, they were ranked last. Of course, in addition to the ten songs that Ji Ruolin sang at the beginning and the fans in the audience, which were purely Ji Ruolin's temporary plans, including the three new songs that Ji Ruolin sang later, as well as a series of new songs and ancient songs by Du Shasha, are also in the plan for this visit and performance.

Not for anything else, from Li Yuyang's point of view, he naturally hopes that his wife can stand on the stage to bring classic repertoire to everyone, and at the same time, it is also to fulfill the stage dream of Ji Ruolin, who has always only been behind the scenes, and through the sudden change of Du Shasha's voice, Luo Tianyi's voice will be brought to this world.

Among them, as for the song "Amani", because it is a Cantonese song, according to the characteristics of Du Shasha's specialization in Cantonese in the past, it seems more appropriate to let Du Shasha sing this song, but, after everyone's consideration, on the one hand, because of Du Shasha's physical condition, it seems inappropriate to sing such a Cantonese song, and more importantly, "Amani" Putting the next three songs together, the words sung by Chen Ying's four girls together will be a complete series of main themes yearning for peace, yearning for beauty, unyielding and forging ahead, and happy reunion, which will be very much in line with the theme of the overall return of Niemen Island.

That is to say, in this visiting performance, the previous tracks can only appear as performances, it is the nature of a concert, and the focus is on the demeanor of Li Youyang and the Goddess Band, and when it comes to these four songs, it must be closely related to the theme, after all, in the face of such a historic event, even if the personal style is strong, no matter how high the status of the singer and band in the world can not dominate, the choice of the theme song must be closely related to the theme.

It's just that it's not over yet, so when people have just recovered from the shock of "Samsara", another even more shocking piece of music suddenly sounded without warning!

"For the tribe!" the first thing that sounded was still Du Shasha's crisp voice like Luo Tianyi.

Next, under the watchful eye, the girls of the third-echelon symphony orchestra of the goddess band are each operating their own instruments, guitar, bass, keyboard, violin, cello, orchestra, drum kit.... There are even some instruments that the audience can't name for a while, and even if there is no Li melodious baton dancing at this time, the girls are still extremely skillful and seamless, playing a magnificent and majestic song together.

What kind of song is it?

The Dan!

"The Dan" originally meant dawn, dawn, dawn. On Earth, it was originally the soundtrack of the classic Hollywood movie "The Rock" in '96 (the original song was originally called Rock House jail at 9:04 and the chorus) by Hans Zimmer. It was later adapted by the Finnish heavy metal band Dreamtale and included in the 2002 album "Beyond Reality" as the opening song.

Later, it was called the "Overture of the Dead" by Warcraft players. This is because in the game "World of Warcraft", the melody of the opening music is the same as The Dan, and later another netizen used "The Dan" as the background music and edited and made a MV with the cutscene of the undead in "Warcraft 3", and named it "Overture of the Dead". Moreover, metal music expresses an obsession with the emotions of death, darkness and pain, so it is only fitting to call it a "prelude to the dead". So far, the Chinese name of the song has spread with this MV, but the real name is not widely known.

But this piece is a typical example of metal music, the most striking feature of metal music on Earth as a musical form is its obsession with the emotional expression of death, darkness and pain, and its fundamental idea is based on nihilistic and mystical values. After the subversion of human nature in World War II and the Vietnam War, the traditional ideas and social laws of the past are on the verge of shattering, the former revealing the moral degradation of human society, and the latter plunging the Western world into an era of collective rebellion but unable to produce heroes. In this contradictory society, musicians hope to express their emotions by creating new ways of music, and this emotional expression has also shifted from the traditional, positive, and fixed mode of musical image expression (such as the praise of beauty, heroism, romance, etc.) to the free venting of ordinary people's unpolitical and diverse emotions, such as dissatisfaction, fear, confusion and decadence.

In terms of musical form, metal music places great emphasis on the "weight" of metal instruments We cannot hear the comfort and leisure in metal music, which is not only an important difference between this genre and other forms of music, but also the most criticized part of this genre by mainstream society. The reason why metal music adopts this form that is resisted by mainstream society is not only to express a rebellion against mainstream society, but also to imply that modern society is a noisy society that is obscure, full of metal, hard and indifferent, and this feeling is also repeatedly expressed in many science fiction movies. In order to express this kind of post-modern musical conception, the most effective way is to use metal music and bring its characteristics to the extreme.

There are many types of metal music, and from the perspective of the two most important elements of music, "rhythm and melody", there are "melodic metal" and "rhythm metal", and this piece belongs to "melodic metal". The Dan opens with a clear, flowing keyboard and guitar that leads to a smooth melodic structure, followed by a heavy metal accompaniment that is an important icon of metal music, creating a boisterous, violent, beautiful, and reasonable standout that reveals the charm of metal music itself.

In a sense, the structure of the song is clean and neat. In form, this structure exhibits typical postmodernist artistic techniques: fragments and patchwork. The structure of the piece can be divided into three parts, the main melody unit phrase, the heavy metal accompaniment, and the vocal monologue. The former solves the problem of the main melody structure of the song with "classical" fragments and determines the basic structure of the song, while the middle creates a highly transmitting nihilistic and mystical atmosphere by transforming the noise into a harmonious narrative, while the latter makes the music express a poetic mood through the emotions and subconscious psychology of the human voice.
