Chapter 511: Title Song Combination
As the second title song of the Roses' debut album, the effort of this song is actually the smallest on this album.
Because the original song of this song is also quite new in another world, it is only seven or eight years ago, and there is basically no need to change much.
This song is not old, but it tells the story of the French Revolution at the end of the 18th century, and it is sung in the voice of the last emperor of France, Louis XVI.
Because the history of the two worlds is basically the same, Ye Luo took this song out, which was more worry-free and effort-saving.
The biggest highlight of this song is the prelude.
The short and rapid pullings of the cello, punctuated by perfectly synchronized piano percussions, evolve into four chords with an incomparably strong and imposing progression, as if the tide of revolution is surging and unstoppable.
Of course, as a rock band, cello and piano and other instruments, it is impossible to put them on the stage, just one keyboard.
Ye Luo loves this song very much, because this prelude seems to herald the rise of Chinese music in the world music scene.
Again, it's unstoppable.
Ye Luo's arrangement sample is very finely done. The lead singer of the band Roses, Rambo. As soon as Houston heard this prelude, he immediately got into the groove.
“Good!” Rambo. After listening to the arrangement, Houston couldn't wait to say, "Boss, let's get started." ”
The Roses were indeed a great band, and they were able to start trying to record this demo in less than half an hour.
Ye Luo put on the monitoring headphones, and sitting next to him were Hu Jianing and Charlie, two sound recorders.
The live plugged in band, as soon as the timbre came out, it was completely different from the analog timbre of the computer.
The four chord preludes together, the leaves fell fine, and he knew what the effect would be. Hu Jianing and Charlie couldn't stand it. While listening, he shook along with the rhythm, and Charlie even danced with his hands.
With the addition of the drumbeat, Rambo. Houston began to sing:
“Iusedtoruletheworld,
I used to dominate the world,
SeaswouldrisewhenIgavetheword。
Even the sea rises at my command.
NowinthemorningIsleepalone。
Now I sleep alone in the morning,
SweepthestreetsIusedtoown。
Wandering through the alleys I once owned.
Iusedtorollthedice,
I used to gamble,
Feelthefearinmyenemyseyes,
I have felt the unbearable day under the eyes of the enemy,
Listenasthecrowdwouldsing:
I heard the crowd shouting slogans:
Nowtheoldkingisdead! Longlivetheking!
'The first king is dead! I am the king forever! ’
OneminuteIheldthekey,
The power is just in hand,
Nextthewallswereclosedonme。
The walls are about to shut me down.
AndIdiscoveredthatmycastlesstand,
That's when I discovered the cornerstone of my castle.
Uponpillarsofsaltandpillarsofsand。
It is as fragile and weak as loose grains of salt in sand.
……”
The song title: "Vivalavida", this is Spanish, English means "Longlivelife", Chinese translation "Long Live Life".
This song was successfully rehearsed by the Rose Band in an hour, showing a high level of professionalism.
With this progress, Ye Luo is satisfied.
"Alright." Hu Jianing said with a smile. "Let's deal with it later, this song is all worked."
Charlie is of Italian descent. Knowing something about the history of Europe, he smiled slightly: "Boss, you have a big heart in this song, are you going to rebel?" ”
"Haha." Ye Luo smiled, "That's right, it's to rebel." The world of pop music. A new order is coming. ”
"Ye Luo, you should show this kind of arrogance." Hu Jianing said, "You are the strongest musician in the world, you should have this domineering spirit of those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me die." ”
"Come on." Ye Luo waved his hand. "Now we have a low start. Rebellion, accumulate grain, slow to be the king, now, it's better to be a little low-key, just sing songs, there is no need to show off everywhere. ”
"What's next?" Hu Jianing looked at his watch, "It's still early." ”
"Since everyone's interest is so high, let's record the title song." Ye Luo said with a smile.
"Okay." Hu Jianing said with a smile, "These two songs are a set, and I have a feeling when I record them together, and I walk." ”
Hearing Hu Jianing say this, Ye Luo was still quite relieved.
Because the title song of this album, although in terms of artistic conception, corresponds to "Vivalavida", but in fact, this is a rock song from forty years ago.
Although this song is very classic, most of the instrumental presentation and arrangement techniques in it have long been too far behind the times.
Ye Luo spent two full days revising the song.
can make Hu Jianing's professional ears sound like "Vivalavida", which is the same as the modern rock song "Vivalavida", which shows that Ye Luo has not spent the past two days.
The Roses spent another half hour preparing time, and Rambo. Houston nodded at the people outside, signaling that it was time to start recording.
The characteristics of the original song of this song are distinctive, step by step, the main song is graceful, and the chorus is high-pitched.
This characteristic is appreciated by Ye Luo, and it is also in line with music theory. It's just that the method of the climax of the original song, with the help of the chorus in the middle of the last century, now sounds a little backward, and Ye Luo naturally needs to be redesigned.
However, unlike other rock songs on this album, the lyrics of this song have not been touched.
“Ivepaidmydues,Timeaftertime。
I've paid the price, again and again.
Ivedonemysentence,Butcommittednocrime。
I served my sentence and did not commit a crime.
Andbadmistakesm,Ivemadeafew。
I've made some strict mistakes.
Ivehadmyshareofsand,kickedinmyface。
I did it myself.
ButIvecomethrough。
But I got through it.
AndIneedtogoonandonandonandon。
I'm going to continue.
Wearethechampionsmyfriends。
We are champions, my friends.
Andwellkeeponfightingtilltheend。
We will fight until the end.
Wearethechampions,
We are the champions,
Wearethechampions!
We are the champions!
Notimeforlosers,
The world does not belong to losers,
Causewearethechampionsoftheworld!
Because we're world champions!
……”
Song title: "WeAreTheChampions", translated as "We Are the Champions".
In another world, this song is widely used in sports competitions as a morale-boosting and victory chant.
But the meaning of champions is not only the first place in a sporting event, the word "Champions" means, broadly speaking, the meaning of the winner.
Put this song together with "Vivalavida" and the meaning of the song is sublimated.
If Vivalavida is the cry of the loser, then WeAreTheChampions is the cry of the winner.
Coincidentally, the lyrics of the sentence at the beginning of "WeAreTheChampions" can be related to the French Revolution.
Because the capture of the Bastille by the people of Paris was a landmark event of the outbreak of the French Revolution.
Of course, this relationship is some of Ye Luo's own personal interests when making music, and whether music fans can experience it is not a big problem.
"Alright." After the recording of this title song, Hu Jianing said with a smile, "The rock album of the Rose Band will inevitably be a classic." ”
"Agreed." Charlie nodded, "The combination of these two title songs is really fantastic." ”
"The other songs are good, too." Hu Jianing smiled, "Okay, lunch time is up, let's continue in the afternoon." (To be continued......)
