Amused by Tang Yaxuan's serious appearance, Lin Zaishan praised her: "Your enthusiasm for music is the biggest motivation for your future progress, and you must keep it." ”

was told by Lin Zaishan**, Tang Yaxuan was quite shy, but if you think about it carefully, she is really like a little sponge now, **absorbing the music knowledge that Lin Zaishan taught her.

"Xiao Xuan, take off your sweater, I look at you and panic."

The white pigeon smiled and suggested Tang Yaxuan.

Tang Yaxuan nodded shyly, turned his back, and took off the thin Christmas sweater outside, revealing the close-fitting white shirt inside. The shirt has a slim fit that flatters her small figure to be extraordinarily slim.

For a moment, looking at Tang Yaxuan's silhouette, Lin Zaishan really felt as if this girl had crossed over by Xu Ruoxuan, and her side was especially like Xu Ruoxuan.

Seeing that the two girls were very motivated, Lin Zaishan told the two of them some more points: "Let me tell you next, when making the melody of a song, in addition to the elementary mistakes that newcomers are prone to make that I told you just now, there are also some slightly more advanced problems, you should also pay attention to them." Many songs written by newcomers have no hooks, no hooks, and no points that can be deeply remembered. ”

Lin Zaishan took a sip of water, just like his guest teacher in college, and told the two: "The reason why pop songs are popular is that they rely on a very short melody to identify your song, so that when everyone thinks of your song, a melody comes to mind." And the point is to set up the hook. You must pay attention to this when you are making melodies. When setting up the hook, be sure to be fresh enough, the melody short enough, and the repetition enough to make a deep impression. ”

Lin Zaishan guided the two of them by asking questions: "When you make the melody." What should I do if I find that I didn't make a hook after writing? At this point, you need to re-examine what is the most important message you are trying to convey in this song. This message is often the first or last line of the chorus, and when you find it, you carefully craft it with a more emotional melody, and then repeat it a few more times, and the hook comes out. ”

Tang Yaxuan listened very excitedly. She had never been mentored by such a professional, which made her feel like she was really walking through the door of music.

Bai Ge took the initiative to ask: "Dad, I recently tried to write songs with Xiao Xuan, and the melodies we wrote always seemed to be missing something, as if they could be finished at any time, is this because there is no Hook?" Or is it because the structure of our songs is not set up completely? ”

"If a song feels like it can be sung at any time, it's a sign that the song lacks intrinsic momentum. Just like this melody about rain that you just made, there will be no discomfort when the window is closed at any time. There is no force that pushes you to listen to the next sentence. This is a typical manifestation of the lack of momentum in a melody. This is a more in-depth question, but we can briefly tell you about it - you don't expect to listen to the next sentence of a song without momentum, because the next sentence is similar to this one, lacking a drive to move forward. There are many factors that can contribute to this result, such as the fact that the preceding and following sentences do not echo, and they always return to the root sound Do. And when you go back to the root note, your background chords don't move forward in time for the introduction of the next paragraph. This will make listening to sentient beings feel like they can turn off the music and sleep at any time. ”

The white dove asked again, "What should I do then?" ”

"At your current level, if the arrangement, chord progression and rhythm are very stable. It's good that the melody doesn't go back to the root note. - Just remember that now. When you accumulate more in the future, you will slowly find the feeling. ”

Lin Zaishan asked Tang Yaxuan: "Xiao Tang, do you have any questions you want to ask?" ”

Tang Yaxuan thought for a while and asked, "Uncle, when I write songs, I always feel that it is difficult to combine lyrics and melody, why is this?" ”

"Lyrics and music bite is a matter of professionalism. First of all, you have to understand that when we speak, we have a sense of frustration, and when we sing, your melody is your melody. If you fill in the words to go against the tone of the language itself. Your melody will look very unnatural. ”

Lin Zaishan summarized the key points: "In general, the point of the bite of the lyrics and songs is to make singing as natural as speaking. I can only advise you to write more and find more feelings. Your grasp of melody is still in the initial stage, so you can't digest too many things that bite the words and songs. Now when you write a song, you can read the lyrics aloud with the same passion as a primary school student reading a text. See if your melody violates the tone of the Chinese characters themselves, whether there is a strong sense of disobedience, and try to minimize this sense of disobedience. ”

The white pigeon asked positively: "Dad, can you tell us more about the problem of filling in the words." I now think it's harder to write lyrics than to compose music. ”

Lin Zaishan said with a smile: "If you think that writing lyrics is more difficult than composing music, it's because you haven't found the trick yet." Lyrics should be a lot of fun for newcomers like you, but there are a lot of issues to pay attention to. First of all, you must understand where the most important lyrics of your song should be before you write the lyrics, and then focus on these places. Generally, the most important part of the lyrics is the chorus part, as well as the first sentence of the main song, the sentence before entering the chorus, and the last sentence of the bridge, which is generally very important. These are all areas that need to be carefully polished. ”

Seeing that Tang Yaxuan was very serious, Lin Zaishan decided to talk about the key points of filling in the words in detail: "I'll tell you more about filling in the words." Generally, if you want to write the lyrics of a song, you must pay attention to these four aspects: first, the lyrics you write must be what you want to say, and they must convey the meaning well; Second, the lyrics you write should be able to create a good atmosphere; Third, the lyrics you write should resonate with people as much as possible. Fourth, your lyrics should have a certain style. ”

"Dad, can you help us give us an example, what makes a good lyric."

"Don Jr., you hand me your folk guitar."

Lin Zaishan was going to sing and explain to the two.

Tang Yaxuan hurriedly sent his beloved folk piano to Lin Zaishan.

Lin Zaishan played the chords professionally, tried the pitch, and felt that Tang Yaxuan's pitch was very good, so he didn't adjust it again.

"I'll sing you a song, and you should focus on the lyrics of the song. Feel the meaning of the song. ”

Lin Zaishan said. played the piano and sang Li Jian's "If You Can"-

……

If I could~I'd like to say sorry to you~

I ignore the melancholy in your eyes~

If I could~I want to give you my youth~

Just to accompany your wounded soul~

……

You have twinkled like a star~

When you fall from the vast starry sky~

As if it had never happened~

The world won't care about your weakness~

But I know from now on~

There is less light in this world~

A little more loss~

The vanishing stars are the fault of the night sky~

……

……

Lin Zaishan sang the whole song to the two girls in an entertaining way, it was too boring to just talk, and he used music to help them adjust the atmosphere.

When the two girls listened to this song, they both felt that this song was written very sad and romantic, and the way Lin Zaishan played and sang was even more handsome!

"You should be able to feel it. What is the central meaning of this lyric? Lin Zaishan asked the two girls.

The white pigeon replied: "It should be to express a feeling of guilt and sorry for my lover, right?" ”

Tang Yaxuan nodded, and also felt that this song was to convey a sense of sorry.

Lin Zaishan said with satisfaction: "That's right, the core meaning of this song is very clear, that is, to express a feeling of guilt and sadness." You carefully review the level of lyrics in this song - from what I think, to why I think so, then to what I think, and then to why I think so, until the final song is sublimated. -- This kind of advancement is very scientific. What is this song about? It's about the feelings of regret, guilt, sadness, and the hardships of the world after the death of another person. Ruthless and forgetful. ”

Both Bai Ge and Tang Yaxuan nodded thoughtfully.

From the lyrics of this song, you can feel the key point that the meaning of the words conveys accurately: that is, it should be logical, the central idea should be clear, and the development of lyrics should have a progressive relationship. The lyrics written according to these lines are generally good lyrics. Of course, there are also many good words that break the convention, and there is no rule to follow. But you're just getting started, so you still have to write some well-structured lyrics first. It will be more helpful to you. Don't come up with the delusional idea of writing classic good words about the sword going off the rails, that's unrealistic. ”

Bai Ge and Tang Yaxuan both nodded and humbly taught.

"I'll give you another counter-example. Listen to the words of the song. ”

Lin Zaishan was in a good mood and sang an Internet pop song of this plane to the two girls.

The melody of this song is okay, but the lyrics are super substandard, Lin Zaishan explained to the two: "The lyrics of this song have no logic, no development, and no literary connotation at all. The first three paragraphs are clichéd. Inciting ethnic hatred, no content, no nutrition. From the very beginning, the logic went from bad to worse. The last section is even more nonsense, trying to insert something that has nothing to do with the previous one. So with a strong twist to reverse the atmosphere, the whole section is Orgasm (climax) pretended to try to create atmosphere, and after listening to it, you can't understand what the song is trying to say. This is a classic counter-example. When you just write a song, you must not make such a messy attempt, and at the beginning, it is still a regular lyrics. When you have a certain foundation, you can try more. ”

Lin Zaishan changed the melody in his hand and told the two: "I'll change a song for you, so that you can listen to what the correct way to really use lyrics to create an atmosphere is." This song is called "The Other Shore Flower". You know what the other side flower is, right? ”

The white dove said, "Manju Sahua." ”

"Yes, the flower on the other side is Manzhu Sawah, the legend is that it is a flower that blooms on the Huangquan Road, when the flower blooms, you can't see the leaves, you can't see the flowers when there are leaves, the flowers and leaves don't see each other, and the life is wrong, as if it is cursing people to not be together for the rest of their lives."

Lin Zaishan hasn't started singing yet, just by talking, he has created a special atmosphere.

In fact, his greatest talent is not music, but the ability to create atmosphere.

"There is a saying in the Buddhist scriptures: 'The flowers on the other side bloom for a thousand years and fall for a thousand years, and the flowers and leaves will never meet.'" Emotions are not cause and effect. Fate is destined for life and death. I got the inspiration for this song, it is a very hazy song, you can listen to it first, the lyrics of this song are very simple, but the atmosphere created is compared to the Internet song just now. High and low opinions. ”

Lin Zaishan said, and played and sang Faye Wong's "Flowers on the Other Side" to the two of them-

……

What I saw ~went out~

Disappeared ~remembered~

I'm standing at ~the end of the cape~

Hear ~soil sprouts~

Wait for ~ the epiphany to bloom again ~

Leave the fragrance ~ to the years ~ On the other side ~ there is no lighthouse ~ I'm still ~looking~

It's dark ~ I have my hair white~

Hold on to ~my torch~

He came ~ I said to myself ~

I'm not afraid~I love him so much~

I love ~him~

……

Lin Zaishan is singing this song with falsetto bel canto, the song pursues a blurry but not too bewitching temperament, heartache and despair, but cruel and romantic, the two girls are particularly touched when they hear it.

To feel the lyrics of this song, simple, profound, and the atmosphere it creates. Ethereal and dreamy, with a distinctly impressionistic approach, listening to such a song is like a dream.

"You feel it. The lyrics of this song create an ethereal situation of flowers on the other side - eerie, ethereal, mysterious, and hazy. That's how good the lyrics are to set off the atmosphere. ”

Lin Zaishan looked at the white pigeon: "Pigeon, I also wrote a song for you to hear, and that song also uses lyrics to set off the atmosphere." ”

"Which song?" The white pigeon asked curiously.

"The Most Dazzling National Style."

"Huh?" The white dove was stunned.

Lin Zaishan smiled: "That song is very vulgar. After you hear it, you will get goosebumps on the vulgar body. But I'll tell you, the lyrics of that song are actually a masterpiece that creates a vulgar atmosphere. ”

The white pigeon was trembling by Lin Zaishan's words, and was originally intoxicated by the artistic conception of "Flowers on the Other Side", she felt that her soul was going to be suspended in the air, suspended above the Yellow Spring. I dimly saw a beautiful woman in a long white dress and long black hair, looking at her boyfriend who was waiting to accompany her to the Yellow Spring...... That desperate and romantic wait made the white pigeon feel very deeply.

But Lin Zaishan suddenly talked about "The Most Dazzling National Style" now, and the soul of the white pigeon was suddenly beaten back to the ground, and he begged bitterly: "Dad." Please don't sing that song! ”

"Haha. I'm not going to put that song out easily. Lin Zaishan was amused by the white dove's frightened expression.

Tang Yaxuan was curious: "What kind of song is it?" ”

The white pigeon hurriedly said: "Don't ask, that song is magical, and you will go crazy after listening to it." ”

"Haha, don't digress, I'm already a little hungry, I'll tell you about it later, let's go to dinner."

Lin Zaishan picked up the topic and continued to tell the two of them the key points of the lyrics: "I just said that there is another key point in the lyrics, which is to resonate with the listeners. Resonating is actually a very subjective thing, and to put it bluntly, it is necessary for the audience to sit in the right seat. Generally, if the song you write is aimed at a specific group of people, or describes the common emotions of a certain group of people at a certain stage, it is easy to resonate with people. I won't give you an example of this, you think carefully about which songs resonate with you in particular, and analyze and analyze other people's creative skills, and you will definitely gain something. ”

Lin Zaishan thought of something, and said: "I especially remind you, don't write about strong emotions that you haven't experienced." Strong feelings are easy to resonate with, but if you haven't experienced it, you can't write about that flavor. Referring to other people's emotions, the lyrics you write are definitely not strong enough, and it is easy to fall into clichés. Let me give you another example. ”

Lin Zaishan gave the two an example: "Before you fall in love, you hear such a song: 'If love understands~, the price of the promise~, what can't be given to me~, please give it to her completely~' - you must feel that this is a sublime Madonna plot." When you fall in love, you will think: what kind of bullshit is written in this song! How can you willingly give up the love you can't get to someone else? However, after falling out of love and letting go of this relationship, you will think again: love may really be like this, you have almost ruined me, don't destroy others! ”

The two girls were amused by Lin Zaishan's humorous narration.

"I am telling you this so that you can understand that there are some emotions that you will only understand if you have really experienced them yourself. Now you fill in the words, don't easily try to describe the feelings you don't understand, or describe more of the feelings hidden in your own hearts. Of course, many saliva songs on the market today are more likely to resonate with everyone than serious music, because the language of saliva songs is straightforward enough and the emotions are more red. Bare. In today's fast-paced society, everyone needs fast-food emotional replenishment, and the emotions in these saliva songs come the easiest, so they can resonate with many people. You can try to write such saliva songs, but I personally suggest that you should put more thought into your work when you start out, and don't just write those saliva songs. This brings me to the fourth point of the word filling - you need to give your work meaning and style. ”

Lin Zaishan changed his words: "It is actually very difficult for you to write stylish works now. What is the so-called style in the lyrics? It is the comprehensive difference between the mood of the people, life experience, social value, life vision, cultural heritage, aesthetics and three views. This is not something that can be piled up by flowery words, nor can it be covered up by quoting a lot of ancient poems. This requires the precipitation of life and experience. It is no exaggeration to say that it is because of the difference in style that finally determines the level of a lyricist. You don't have to think too much about it now, you just have to write down the words that you want to write, and that's great. But you must have a goal in mind, and you must work hard to write stylish works in the future, not to write popular songs. ”

That afternoon, Lin Zaishan taught the two girls a lesson, which benefited the two girls a lot.

Especially Tang Yaxuan, like a child who is eager to go to school, leaning under the window and listening to the formal lecture in the classroom, he is very excited.

She wanted to accept a little more guidance from a "master" like Lin Zaishan.

She secretly decided that during the internship at Beyond, she would seize the opportunity to study with Lin Zaishan, and strive to enter the door of professional music-
