As the saying goes, fight tiger brothers, go into battle father and son soldiers!

Alex's first expected helper was his brother! Don't look for him, find anyone!

"Richard, do you like music?"

Alex immediately consulted with his brother Richard, and according to the information he learned, Richard's IQ was not low, and the two of them should be able to figure out a way.

Richard looked at his eldest brother strangely, and then replied sternly, "Of course I like it!" Why do you ask this? ”

The Carpenter brothers' parents were strict and serious people, especially their mother Angel, who was especially strict with Richard. Maybe it's because of this that he will be educated as a little adult.

Alex continued to ask, "Then you plan to be a singer in the future?" ”

Richard scratched his head and said a little embarrassed, "Maybe, but I'm also a little interested in composing!" ”。

"Composition?" Alex was a little surprised, he didn't expect Richard to start consciously learning how to compose music so early!

"Cut! Is this a genius like Mozart? Alex thought to himself, a little resentful.

Alex suddenly felt that it was a smart decision to consult with Richard. He has a lot of musical resources in his head, but he has always been clumsy, and he does not dare to steal the music works of later generations at will, for fear of being suspected. Now with the example of Richard, who would dare to say that he is a demon! Don't look at Mozart and the like, that's the real evil.

"Do you have any work now?" Alex asked tentatively!

"Wait, I'll find out!" Richard turned and ran out of the room, and soon he returned with a large pile of papers in his hand.

Alex took the paper from Richard's hand and looked at them one by one. The more he looked at it, the more he admired it, and he even wondered if Richard also belonged to the Crossing Crowd!

The tunes on the paper were written in the format of staves, and some were accompanied by lyrics. Alex has been learning music for so long, and he is also very familiar with the staves, so he involuntarily hummed a few words in his mouth.

"Haha! These are unfinished works! It borrows a lot of other people's songs, and it's not completely original! Richard hastened to explain to Alex.

"Genius!" Alex shouted involuntarily!

These tunes are still very naΓ―ve, because the traces of borrowing are too heavy, so they seem rigid. But for a four- or five-year-old, that's pretty impressive!

"Richard, let's write a song together! I'm humming, you compose it! Alex made an invitation to Richard, hoping to open the treasure trove of music he remembered as soon as possible.

With so many musical resources in later generations, he is not afraid of not singing!

Perhaps it is precisely because Alex has an advantage that Richard does not have, so he loses Richard's hard-working heart. Too much memory experience was also a burden, distracting Alex from concentrating on his music.

But now, Alex has decided to work with Richard, and the two complement each other, using Alex's experience and knowledge to combine Richard's musical talent!

It has to be said that this is a shortcut to success.

If Alex wants to succeed in music alone, it will take at least another year or two, and now with Richard, he is confident that he will be able to stand on the stage of success within half a year.

"The two of us collaborate on music?" Richard was a bit surprised, he had always felt that Alex was more talented in music than he was. While studying music, Alex occasionally leaked fragments of later music that music professors and Paul would praise when they heard it. This puts a lot of pressure on Richard, and he spends a lot of time "catching up" Alex.

Unexpectedly, Alex would take the initiative to work with him. Richard thought for a moment, then stretched out his hand: "Then let's work together!" ”

"Great!" Alex happily shook Richard's hand. At this moment, he has a little more grasp of the future.

The two brothers said they would do it, and they immediately took action. With Alex's help, Richard soon wrote a new song.

This is an asongformama for "A Song to Mom" (Songs for Mom) because the two of them want to give Angel a gift on her birthday. Alex and Richard both thought that a song they had written would be the best birthday present.

This song is actually a song sung by the famous American RB group Boyz IImen, which was once used as the theme song of the movie "sou1Food", recorded as a record line in 1997, and topped the US music chart (usBi11board) two weeks after the song line.

"Song for Mother" was originally sung by four people, after all, it was suitable for the two brothers to sing together.

The song says:

You've taught me everything,

You give me a qiΔ“,

I will treasure it in the depths of my heart.

You are the driving force of my life,

Without you,

There is no one qiΔ“ of mine today.

If you're not by my side,

Nothing is right.

……

I don't want to live a day without you,

When you think about it, you feel that life is not empty.

Mom, I can't live without you!

The song is full of emotion, and it is very suitable for Richard's expression of their feelings for Angel. When Alex and Richard sang it together, they both thought it was a very good song. The two jumped excitedly, they didn't expect their cooperation to be so smooth.

"This song needs some instruments to accompany it, you need a guitar here, you need a drum kit here!"

"You're right, it's better to add some harmony here!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The two brothers, one sentence for you and one sentence for me, gradually perfected the whole song. In addition to staves and lyrics, a song also needs a variety of musical instruments to match, and the same song can be interpreted in a variety of styles with different instruments, and the feeling will be completely different.

The American pop music of the 50s of the 20th century is very different from the pop music of the early 21st century, and the same song, placed in different eras, may have different styles of interpretation. If we insist on putting the songs of the early 21st century in the 50s, it is difficult to say that they will be accepted by the people, without saying whether they can be realized, and saying that the level of appreciation of people in the two eras is not the same.

In fact, as a simple example, if the songs that were popular in the 50s were given to people today, there might be a lot of people who don't like to listen to them. However, there will always be some classics in history that will last forever. That's a different story.

As time went on, Alex and Richard wrote more and more songs, and both of them immersed themselves in the joy of writing. I didn't expect that with their current conditions, if they wanted to record songs, they would have to find a recording studio.

"How do we find a studio that's willing to record for us?" When it was time to start recording music, it was not so simple, and Alex was a little worried.

Next, Alex plans to find a second helper. That's their dad!

Bart Carpenter has always tried his best to get the "Carpenter Brothers" on the real music stage. As long as you can record a best-selling record, that qiΔ“ problem will be solved.

It's just that Bart is a layman in the music industry. He didn't know anyone in the industry, so he only took the "Carpenter brothers" around to participate in events, hoping to be photographed by the record company.

Originally, this approach is also a very good way. Compete in major events, win big prizes, and then sign into a regular record label to make your record debut.

Many famous singers have become famous like this, but Bart is still a layman after all. He couldn't find a professional backing band for Alex and them, so he couldn't play at a real level. What's more, they don't have their own songs, and if they blindly cover them, they won't be able to stand out among the many contestants.

Now, Alex has solved it for him! He took the "Song for Mother" and put it in front of Bart.

"This is a song you wrote?"

Bart picked up the score suspiciously, and after a few minutes, he was convinced that the quality of the song was excellent! It's not an ordinary good, but the kind of good song that can be on the charts last week!

"Did you really write it?" Bart checked again, he couldn't believe his eyes.

Just when he was worried about the "Carpenter Brothers" looking for a song, Alex and the others sent one. In fact, when he read the first piece of music, he already decided that it was a song that he had never seen before.

"Of course we wrote it! I wrote it with Richard, and it was written specifically for my mother. It's her birthday this month, and we want to surprise her! ”

Alex pulls his brother out to share the glory and pressure, believing that in doing so he will not arouse too much suspicion.

Under Bart's gaze, Richard's eyes widened, and then nodded.

Seeing that both sons said this, Bart didn't think about it carefully, he didn't suspect Alex and Richard. I just couldn't believe it, and at the same time, I felt infinite joy in my heart. I feel like I'm lucky!

"It's so good! The next time we compete, we're going to sing it! Bart said to his sons.

Alex saw that the opportunity was ripe, so he immediately said, "Why wait until the competition to sing, let's go record now." ”

"Record it!" Both Bart and Richard were taken aback by Alex's suggestion.

"Yes, record it! We wrote this song as a gift for my mom's birthday. Find a record company, give them some money, and you can record a record. We then sent the record to the radio station for the station to play on my mother's birthday. Wouldn't it make more sense if you think about it? ”

Alex's idea was very appealing, especially for Bart. The most important thing is that Alex's approach is actually based on the success story of Elvis Presley. Elvis was dug up when he was recording for his mother, and then sent his record to the radio station, and he became famous at once.

"Elvis Presley, I'm sorry, you're in my way, get out of the way." Alex thought to himself.

Play on the radio on the city! How many people must be listening! If it is noticed by the people at the record company, then the matter of signing a contract is not a trivial matter.

Bart was immediately distracted by the thought, and he ordered, "You two practice this song first." And don't let anyone else know, especially Angel! ”

Richard asked, somewhat puzzled, "Where is Daddy going?" ”

Alex smiled and replied, "Of course, I'm looking for a place where I can record for us!" ”

Bart hurried out of the house, feeling that the light in front of him was much brighter, and his steps were getting lighter and lighter. He almost couldn't help but jump up and down.
