Chapter 169: "Ordinary Road" (Kneel and beg for a monthly pass!) )
"Don't feel guilty and give up on yourself. Face adversity with a brave heart, and believe that tenacious perseverance can eventually conquer every peak in the world. It's like an ordinary road under our feet, it looks so inconspicuous, but it can lead us to any place. Writing this song "Ordinary Road" is to pay tribute to my past, and it is also to share with you a kind of strength to face life calmly. I hope everyone can like it, and I like it, and everyone doesn't like it. Those who like this song, you may have seen that ordinary is the only answer in life; And if you don't like this song, you may still believe that you can change the world. ――Come on, only people who are crazy enough to believe that they can change the world can truly change the world. ”
Looking at Lin Zaishan's message before the post, tens of thousands of viewers were touched.
Many people couldn't wait to click on the player at the top of the forum and listened to this song "Ordinary Road" for the first time.
Guan Yaling closed the door of the studio tightly, bowed and worshipped, cleaned up the earwax, and then deliberately put on a high-end headset, hoping to appreciate Lin Zaishan's opening work through better sound quality.
However, as soon as the slightly monotonous guitar synthesis arrangement at the beginning of this song appeared, Guan Yaling's brows immediately furrowed.
Completely different from the amazing guitar opening of "The Hills", the opening of this "Ordinary Road" is too bland!
……
Wandering ~ on the road ~
Are you leaving~via~via~
Fragile ~proud~
That used to be what I used to be~
……
Lin Zaishan's singing voice appeared, responding to the bland melody and arrangement, which made Guan Yaling even more surprised, is this Lin Zaishan singing seriously?
Guan Yaling has heard Lin Zaishan sing various styles of songs before, and Lin Zaishan's interpretation of each style can be described as unique. Very infectious.
His voice is like magic, with strong bearing force and magnetism, Guan Yaling has deeply understood this, Lin Zaishan belongs to the kind of talented singers who can sing into people's hearts as soon as they open their voices.
But now, Lin Zaishan is singing this song "Ordinary Road", how Guan Yaling feels dull when she listens to it. I didn't feel impressed at all.
She even wondered if Lin Zaishan's voice had been repaired with a lot of original flavor in the later stage? A more popular electronic psychedelic sound effect has been added.
Lin Zaishan's singing voice on this song is still very sincere, but Guan Yaling feels bland, without any charm and change, like boiling water pouring into your ears.
It may also be that the arrangement of this song is too rough and too simple, which makes Lin Zaishan's singing voice lose a lot of color.
The main theme of this song is also very bland at the beginning, but Guan Yaling can feel that this should be a classic composition structure designed by Lin Zaishan in the spiral, and the more it goes, the more exciting it will be.
But after listening to Lin Zaishan singing the songs behind, Guan Yaling still felt so good-
……
Boiling ~ restless ~
Where are you going~via~via~
Enigmatic ~silent~
Are you really listening to the story~
……
I have crossed mountains and seas~
It also passed through the sea of people~
I used to have it all~
In the blink of an eye, it was scattered like smoke~
I was once lost, disappointed, lost all directions~
Until I see the ordinary, the only answer~
……
Until Lin Zaishan sang the first chorus. Guan Yaling only felt a little bit, but it was also a very light zero feather touch, maybe it was just one or two lyrics that touched her a little.
The arrangement and main theme of the song did not bring her any surprises, and Lin Zaishan's interpretation was always flat, is this Lin Zaishan telling his life?
His past is incomparably magnificent, and he wants to pay tribute to his past. I should have created a song with bigger ups and downs than "The Hills".
But now he sings "across the mountains and the sea, through the sea of people". Why does it seem so ordinary and inconspicuous?
Even if he softly shouted "I used to have everything, and it was like smoke in the blink of an eye", it didn't feel so passionate.
Why did Lin Zaishan design this song like this?
Such lyrics could have been presented within a larger melodic framework, which sung the climax of his past life and made him realize.
But now he uses such a bland melody, a bland singing voice. Even the extra arrangement of the harmonic and chorus parts is an extremely bland design, which is a bit disappointing to Guan Yaling.
Lin Zaishan debuted his first track on his own company forum, and Guan Yaling felt that it should be a work comparable to "The Hills" that can surprise the industry as soon as it appears. How could Lin Zaishan post such an ordinary song? He's simply lowering his own value!
After listening to the first half of the song, Guan Yaling felt that this "Ordinary Road" might be the least feeling song of all the songs Lin Zaishan she had heard recently.
The song continues to move forward. The more Guan Yaling listened, the more deflated she became, and the background insertion of the organ behind made Guan Yaling feel that the arrangement of this song was a mess, and even the original melody framework of the spiral rising inward was about to be broken.
Lin Zaishan's singing performance behind the mountain is not commendable, there is sincerity, but it is always ordinary, there is a shout, but it is casual, especially the RAP section of "Go forward, just go like this", Guan Yaling doesn't understand why Lin Zaishan is doing this. He doesn't feel the emotion he has in the song throughout the song.
Listening to the whole song, it is just the lyrics of the fragment, which can touch Guan Yaling a little. At the level of melody and arrangement, Guan Yaling can only give this song a passing score of 60 points, which still depends on Lin Zaishan's face, if someone else writes this song, Guan Yaling may not even be able to score 50 points.
Guan Yaling couldn't believe that Lin Zaishan would post such a song on the first day of Beyond's opening, she wondered if she had heard it wrong? There is a problem with the player, right? Greatly detract from the sound quality of the song? That's why Lin Zaishan's singing charm has plummeted?
She deliberately downloaded this song, checked the file format, it was a higher sound quality version of 320Kbps, and then listened to it again, she analyzed it from a purely professional point of view, and still couldn't hear any highlights from this song. Originally, Lin Zaishan had the most outstanding voice. None of the performances are shown on this song.
Could it be that Lin Zaishan deliberately wrote and sang like this? Just for the sake of an ordinary effect?
But it's hard to impress people!
Guan Yaling didn't understand this.
The reason why Kwan Yaling has such senses is because her ears are so poisonous, and her ears almost represent the highest level of appreciation in the pop music industry.
Most professionals will listen to this "Ordinary Road" in the future, and Guan Yaling will feel the same as Guan Yaling for the first time, and they will feel that this song has no highlights at all. is extremely ordinary, it is hard to imagine that this song is written by Lin Zaishan.
But after listening to this song, ordinary music fans, especially younger music fans who are not so picky, after listening to this song, the professional sense of professionals is completely different.
Everyone knows that Lin Zaishan has a very dark past, and Lin Zaishan can return tenaciously, bravely admit the past, and make such an approachable, frank and sincere work, which is already very touching for ordinary music fans.
Lin Zaishan sang this ordinary sentence. is not singing about his own life at all, but under the guise of his life, he is going to stir up the sensitive touch of sympathy in the hearts of the general public.
"I once ruined everything I had ~ I just wanted to leave forever ~ I once fell into boundless darkness ~ I wanted to struggle and couldn't extricate myself ~" such lyrics are reminiscent of their own past in the ears of many people.
Even if your life is smooth, there will be a desperate situation of collapse, who dares to say that you have not felt the pain of self-destruction? Who would dare to say that they have never fallen to the brink of suffering?
In everyone's memory, there have been highlights of life that have had everything. also has a soft and fragile struggle and painful experience to look back on.
These experiences, in the eyes of others. It may be just a very ordinary little thing, but for ourselves, it is an eternal and unchangeable trace of life.
When some melodies, some lyrics, knock out these memories in our hearts, that ordinary but real sense of existence. It's enough to make us haunted and moved.
This night, many young people were moved when they listened to Lin Zaishan's "Ordinary Road" for the first time, they couldn't hear whether Lin Zaishan was rich or not rich and affectionate when he sang this song, they only felt that Lin Zaishan sang this song very sincerely. Singing into their hearts.
After Li Zhi downloaded this song, he listened to it several times in a loop, and then he was completely obsessed with this song, and he felt that this song was much more classic than "The Hills". Why is this happening, he can't say why, but imagining Lin Zaishan's dark life, and hearing the current song "Ordinary Road", he will be inexplicably moved, as if he also participated in it.
At a quarter past six o'clock this night, the download and preview of this song "Ordinary Road" has been provided on major music websites and forums, and its piracy speed is so fast that the Beyond team is very caught off guard.
Everyone didn't expect those pirated music websites to pay so much attention to Lin Zaishan's new songs.
As soon as the pirated version of this song appeared on major music websites and music forums, the number of views on the Beyond forum dropped a lot.
Although there are still many music fans still discussing Lin Zaishan's song "Ordinary Road" on the Beyond forum, the number of new registered users on the site is clearly declining.
During the period from 6 o'clock to 7 o'clock, the number of newly registered users of the Beyond forum is only 200, which is the direct impact of piracy on the genuine version.
There are many music fans who can hear this song and discuss the song in the piracy forums they are used to, but they don't come to the Beyond forums, and they don't have any support for the original creator, which is the sadness of piracy enslaved users. These people are like slaves to piracy, and they will not easily awaken the consciousness of supporting genuine copy.
The number of registered members of the Beyond forum before the white pigeon and the believer Wuzi exceeded 5,000 in an instant, and they were all crazy! They didn't dare to expect Lin Zaishan's influence to be so great! Posting a post about Lin Zaishan on a large forum can attract tens of thousands of forum views!
However, after the piracy of "Ordinary Road" appeared in major forums, the number of new registrations on the Beyond forum showed a cliff-like decline, which made young people such as White Dove and Believer Wuzi angry!
They all know that piracy is to blame.
Before, they weren't in this circle, they didn't feel it deeply, they didn't think there was anything wrong with using piracy.
Everyone uses piracy. Why do they support the genuine version? Is there a brain disease?
But now that they're in the circle, they finally know the dangers of piracy.
Today it was they who entered the circle and understood it.
Tomorrow, maybe it's you, or your friends, or even your children who enter the circle. They will also suffer from it.
If the public does not wake up early and realize that the use of piracy is not good for you, but harmful to the whole society, then the environment in this circle will never be improved.
Your friends, your descendants, are likely to lose the opportunity to display their artistic talents and talents because you don't think they care about supporting piracy.
In such an increasingly withered environment, no matter how talented you are. All of them will stifle the soil in which they grow with pirated acid.
Fortunately, there are still many capable, qualified and ideal people in the society, who are contributing their seemingly meager but great strength to various genuine causes. Their ordinary and sincere efforts have paved the way for the original creators to climb the mountain of art.
However, it is a pity that in the environment where domestic laws and regulations are very imperfect, and people with ulterior motives are using piracy to lure and enslave the minds of the people, there are too few such precious and thoughtful awakened people. Otherwise, the domestic literary and artistic environment would have dreamed back to the Tang Dynasty long ago. A hundred flowers are blooming, and it is a few floors higher.
Among the large population of pirated enslavement. The most disgusting thing is the kind of cowards and bedbugs who don't even dare to go to genuine forums, but only dare to nest in pirated forums to slander the original creators.
Bai Ge and the believer Wuzi saw that on many pirated music forums, some people began to comment on Lin Zaishan's "Ordinary Road" in a tone of contempt or pointing, and some people even disgusted people said that Lin Zaishan wrote a garbage song. In polluting their ears!
Such remarks made the white pigeon unable to hold back, and scolded those self-righteous cowards: "You are just rats hiding in the rancid sewers, and you don't even have the courage to see the light!" only dare to entertain himself in the dark, holding other people's teeth. Export feces, but still smug. What a wretched bunch of cowards! If you have the ability, go to the Beyond forum and fight Lin Zaisan for 300 rounds! If you don't have the ability, you will always be in the dark to listen to your piracy and slander other people's works. Your life is a pirated life, and it's completely pathetic! ”
At nine o'clock this night, Lin Zaishan ended the rehearsal in Caidie and took a taxi directly to Canghai Mansion.
Lu Dong is still busy leading the Internet team to consolidate the gratifying results of the opening of the Beyond Forum tonight.
Although the impact of piracy websites on the Beyond forum is great, Lin Zaishan posted two songs in a row on the forum, which still let a large number of music fans know and register on the Beyond forum.
As of 10 p.m., the number of registered members of the Beyond forum has exceeded 6,500!
Although the number of people online has dropped to less than 2,000, this has far exceeded the previous expectations of the Beyond team.
On the forum, many people feel that after listening to "Ordinary Road", they feel that it is not very enjoyable, especially professional music fans, they will feel that this "Ordinary Road" is too ordinary to enjoy at the level of pure music, and it does not give them much surprise.
But at eight o'clock, after the site released the full version of "The Hills," the discerning fans were all satisfied.
This fully arranged version of "The Hills" is more magnificent and touching than the previous popular guitar solo version of "The Hills" on the Internet.
However, young people like Li Zhi, after listening to the full arrangement version of "The Hills", still feel that "Ordinary Road" moves them more.
Li Zhi even posted in the music area, hoping that Beyond Records could release a single CD of "Ordinary Road" for Lin Zaishan, and he felt that the single CD of "Ordinary Road" was more commemorative for Lin Zaishan and for those of them who support Lin Zaishan.
After Lin Zaishan returned home that night, he browsed the music discussion area of the forum and found that many students from Dongyi University had posted in support of the song "Ordinary Road".
There are also many posts that sing about "Ordinary Road", which may have been posted by professionals, talking about the various shortcomings of this "Ordinary Road", and some people are making a big statement, saying that Lin Zaishan has embarked on an "ordinary road", and Jiang Lang is exhausted.
For posts like this. Lin Zaishan just laughed and didn't waste time replying and discussing at all.
At half past ten, a registered user with the nickname "Golden Hoop Stick" posted a very special post in the music discussion forum, comparing and evaluating the two songs "Hills" and "Ordinary Road".
This "golden hoop stick" looks at his analysis from the perspective of not quite like a professional in the music industry. Or he deliberately did not reveal his identity as a professional, he was purely analyzing the realm of the two songs from the lyrics of the two songs.
Lin Zaishan read the post of the golden hoop stick from beginning to end, and felt that the comments written by this person were quite in place, and he even suspected that it was written by Bai Pigeon Kai Trumpet.
At the beginning of this post, Jin Hoop Stick wrote in a questioning tone: "These two songs don't seem to be written by the same person at all." "Ordinary Road" is a second-year teenager pretending to be mature, while "The Hill" is an old man looking back on life. ”
After that, Jin Hoop started from the lyrics of "Ordinary Road" and analyzed it for everyone: "'Fragile, proud, boiling, uneasy' - most of the people who use these words to describe themselves are young people. Only young people have such ups and downs. With such a passion. 'I used to have everything, and in the blink of an eye, it was like smoke' – this is what a typical Form 2 youth would say when they pretend to be mature. He emphasized the achievements and materials he once had, the gap between what he had and what he lost, and his own confusion in this gap.
"The weeds and wildflowers in the back refer to ordinary people, and use a lot of young words like 'everything, forever, boundless, impossible, hopeless, whole'. This kind of word is characterized by being big and empty, without any specific image. It can be said that the overall feeling of this song is big and empty, although he tries to describe a person who pursues the ordinary. However, the ordinary does not need to be pursued, because we are all ordinary people.
"'When you're still ~still fantasizing~ about your tomorrow~via~via~' - this contrast of lyrics is attacking. Feeling that others are children and that they are mature is a typical symptom of secondary 2 disease. The rest of the song is probably similar, and they can't get out of this level of understanding. In general, the way this song expresses his vicissitudes is to emphasize his own possession and loss, because it is this loss that he cares about the most. He believes that only having everything and then losing it is the most stimulating for a person.
"When Lin Zaishan sang this song "Ordinary Road", I don't know if you heard it, he didn't sing it to himself, at least not to him now. I thought this was Lin Zaishan singing to him when he was young. And the songs that the young friends listened to. As he himself said, this song is a tribute to his past. He is using ordinary singing to encourage his young friends.
"Perhaps in his eyes when he was younger, his greatest achievement was 'having everything'. But in "The Hills" we can hear that it's just a hill, so what about losing it? It's just a matter of going to the next one. I thought that "The Hills" was the life experience of Lin Zaishan today, and this was the song he sang to his current self.
"Look at Lin Zaishan's words in "Ordinary Road": fragile, proud, boiling, uneasy...... and then look at Lin Zaishan's words in "The Hills": gentle, light, ignorant, ashamed, chattering....... Linking the verses before and after, and carefully reading the differences in these words, we can feel the difference between these two songs in terms of life experience.
"'Maybe we've never matured~ Before we know~ We're about to get old~ Although it's still that ~ young man who is alive in my heart' - Lin Zaishan writes maturely in "The Hills", using a lot of side and detail descriptions, especially like rhetoric, and uses a lot of young symbols to miss, which is very typical, and the old man likes to look back on himself when he was young. I didn't use any of the words of Form 2.
"Even if I finally forgot it~ It's worth it~ I haven't seen immortality as I wished~ etc., etc., this is like a last word, and only the old man who has seen the vicissitudes of the world likes to say it the most. Self-deprecation, chatter, ignorance, and shamelessness that works hard and gets nothing, these are all self-deprecations of the old man. Self-deprecation is due to self-confidence, secondary 2 teenagers like to emphasize 'have everything' because they want to prove that they 'do', and the old people don't need to prove anything.
"Young people can easily say things like 'everything,' while for old people, there's 'everything' everywhere, and there are just hills one by one. In the same way, young people like to say things like 'despair' and 'boundless darkness', while old people smile faintly, that's a fart.
"Over the hills~ Although his head is white~ chattering endlessly~ I don't give me sorrow~ I haven't seen immortality before I want to~ I lost myself first~ Tease to love~ The left and right of fate~ I can't help myself~ Until death, I will rest. At the end of "The Hills", Lin Zaishan is already writing about his life's aspirations. And this song "The Hills" is not a blind sad sigh, if that's the case, it's just an old man's own sadness.
In front of this song "The Hills", Lin Zaishan is relaxed and ridiculous, optimistic and self-deprecating, but at the end, he writes about his dedication to ideals and rebellion against fate. This is the spirit of the old man, who is determined to be thousands of miles, a martyr in his twilight years, and a strong heart.
"I just read the post and someone said that "Ordinary Road" represents the idealist's insistence on ideals, which is true, but it is a little pale. The battle between idealists and fate is not only about rhetoric and passion, but also about indifference in adversity and perseverance after time tempering.
"If you use Dragon Quest as a metaphor, "Ordinary Road" is like a young man who rushes towards the dragon with his eyes closed and waving a sword, because he is afraid, so he has to rush through in one breath, otherwise he will no longer be able to muster up the courage.
"The Hill" is a veteran who sits at the entrance of the cave and slowly sharpens his sword, covered in scars and perhaps lost an eye, but he still can't extinguish the fire in his heart. Even if a veteran fails the thousandth time, he will still come the thousandth and first time. This is the persistence that has been honed over time.
"Idealists are mostly young people, because in a few decades, most people will give in to the world and become the people they once hated. And only a very small number of people can still face it with a hippie smile after countless failures and taste the hardships of life, and show their swords to fate until they die.
"Young people's dreams when they are old are youth without regrets. As a friend said earlier, he said that "Ordinary Road": "There are a lot of regrets". This is because young people are afraid that they will regret it, and they desperately try to avoid making mistakes, just not wanting to regret it later.
And for the elderly, regret is part of life. Mistakes are also part of life. Everyone makes mistakes, and everyone gets old. This is our life, no exception. The old man can accept his mistakes, he can taste his regrets, and even if he regrets it, it is also delicious, because it is his life. This difference in attitude is life experience.
"What young people think is big, very important, will be made ordinary by time. A true idealist, on the other hand, can find the pulse of his life through the curtain of time and choke the throat of fate. Till death.
Lin Zaishan returned to the stage with this song "Hills", and used this song "Ordinary Road" to pay tribute to the past, I think this is the best display of his musical talent. Don't say that "Ordinary Road" is his "ordinary road", some songs, at first glance they sound very extraordinary, but after listening to them for a long time, you will understand that this song is actually very ordinary, but some songs, at first glance, they sound very ordinary, but when you listen to it again after a few years, you will find that this song is so hidden and extraordinary. ”
After Lin Zaishan saw the analysis post of the golden hoop stick, he called the white pigeon as soon as possible, and asked the white pigeon if the golden hoop stick was the trumpet of the white pigeon, and the tone of this analysis was very similar to the connotation of the two songs he told the white pigeon before.
Bai Ge said that she had also seen this post, and she thought it was analyzed by Lin Zaishankai.
Both of them were surprised when they learned that this golden hoop rod was not their trumpet. Especially the white pigeon, I was particularly surprised, Lin Zaishan's two songs can be said to be very powerful and very connotative, and ordinary people can't analyze Lin Zaishan's good intentions in the two songs.
I didn't expect that this golden hoop stick could analyze these two songs so well, and analyze Lin Zaishan's publishing mentality, this is definitely a top-level music critic level, and even the other party may be a big figure in the music world! Listening to this tone, it's quite a praising Lin Zaishan, who is this? (To be continued.) )
