Chapter 294: When You're Old
When the first song written for the blind girl Xu Haishan, that is, "You Are My Eyes", it can be said that it came naturally.
After chatting with Xu Haishan for a few words at that time, Xiao Ran naturally thought of this song in his mind, so he decided to write this song to her.
It can be said that what moved Xiao Ran was not Xu Haishan's voice first, but the story that happened to her, as well as her own optimism and strength, which was the root of moving Xiao Ran.
So when she was ready to write a song for Xu Haishan again, Xiao Ran was a little contradictory, although Xu Haishan's voice was also good, but she had not studied music systematically, and she was completely born in a dirt road.
In other words, Xu Haishan's not bad voice can't support her to go further at all, especially the problem of her eyes, which will make many viewers who judge people by their appearance not choose to vote for her, and even some people on the Internet say that they hate Xu Haishan wearing sunglasses every time, and she feels that she is very hanging!
In fact, Xiao Ran really wanted to sue her for such a poisonous tongue, if Xu Haishan took off her glasses, it would probably scare you to death......
And in the end, Xiao Ran knew that Xu Haishan might be difficult to go far, so he no longer wrote songs for her voice, because to be honest, Xu Haishan's voice is somewhat similar to Chen Xiao's situation, that is, it sounds good but lacks recognition, so Xiao Ran simply started from the song that Xu Haishan wanted to get in his heart!
Xiao Ran remembered that Xu Haishan told herself that the person she was most grateful to in her life was her mother, and her father left his home with another woman very early, so Xu Haishan, who was unable to move because of eye disease, and even had difficulty making money to support herself. I grew up under my mother's care.
According to her, she has been in the period from childhood to now. Her mother has been working two jobs to support the family and take care of her outside of work. It can be said that in 24 hours a day, in addition to sleeping, Xu's mother has been in a busy state!
So Xu Haishan is very grateful to her mother, she likes to improve her mother's life with the money she earns, and likes to have a song that can be dedicated to her mother, so the second song Xiao Ran did not write to Xu Haishan through the musician sharing plan of Tianlai.com.
Because he knew that in this way, most of the profits of this song would go to him, Xiao Ran hoped that this song could improve the living conditions of Xu Haishan's mother and daughter, so he directly gave this song to Xu Haishan. You must know that this is a gift of tens of millions, which is quite a little bit of heart.
So after thinking about it for a long time, Xiao Ran thought of an impressive song he saw in a show in his previous life, and there was also a blind singer who once sung it, this song is called "When You Are Old".
The lyrics of this song are not original, but are from a famous poem by the Irish poet Yeats, who was not only a poet, but also a very famous playwright, so his poems have a story in their own right. When you see it, it feels like a song, and it also feels like a vivid stage play.
The poem is very contextual, so it can be translated directly into lyrics without any modification at all.
Xu Haishan standing on the stage. Holding the microphone and starting to sing, her heart was very plain, when she got this song completely given away by Xiao Ran before. Xu Haishan was very excited, so she sent Xiao Ran to kneel. But Xiao Ran just said to her very blandly: "I hope you continue to live bravely and optimistically." ”
"When you're old and your hair is gray. Drowsiness. When you are old and can't walk anymore, take a nap by the fire and reminisce about your youth. How many people have loved the hours of your youthful singing, your beauty, your hypocrisy or your sincerity, and only one person still loves your pious soul and the wrinkles of your old face...... When you are old, your eyebrows are lowered, the lights are dim, the wind blows, your news, this is the song of my heart, how many people have loved the hours of your youth and singing, loved your beauty, false or sincere, only one still loves your pious soul, loves the wrinkles of your old face. When I'm old, I wish this song was sung to you! ”
This is a very heartfelt song, and Xu Haishan, who thought about her mother when she sang, undoubtedly sang this song into a very touching artistic conception.
In fact, this lyric was first written by Yeats to his lover, but it can be seen that this song is written about many people's lives, and Xiao Ran used this song for Xu Haishan to give to her mother, which is also very suitable, and it is not as single as those songs that praise mother's love, plus the song itself is like a spring rain moistening the heart, which immediately moved Xu Haishan and touched countless people!
In the end, Xu Haishan received more than 13 million votes, although judging from the number of votes, it is destined to be eliminated, but this song will also help Xu Haishan bring nearly 20 million income, and it can also ensure that their mother and daughter can live comfortably for the rest of their lives, and they no longer have to live upside down......
"Thank you very much Xu Haishan for singing, this song makes me want to cry when I listen to it, although we can see from the number of votes that Xu Haishan has a hard time having a chance to become the top four, but Xu Haishan has brought us too much along the way, now let us use applause to thank this optimistic and strong girl...... The next seventh singer to appear is Guo Guichen, whose voice is ninety percent similar to our singer Zhang You, who will continue to bring Zhang You's "Blessing", and also wish all the audience and singers to be happy and happy forever! ”
"Friend, I bless you forever...... Don't ask, don't speak, it's all in plain sight. This moment is snuggled by candlelight, let us spend it quietly...... Hurt parting, parting although it is in front of you, saying goodbye, goodbye will not be too far away. If there is fate, fate can look forward to tomorrow, you and I will meet again in the splendid season...... Hurt parting, parting although it is in front of you, saying goodbye, goodbye will not be too far away. If there is fate, fate can look forward to tomorrow, you and I will meet again in the splendid season......"
Guo Guichen's singing is exactly the same as before, if you close your eyes and listen, you will feel that the person standing on the stage is Zhang You, who is known as the God of Song, and the voices of the two are not wrong at all.
But when you open your eyes, what you see is still the Guo Guichen who looks very different from Zhang You, such a gap will only make the audience think of Guo Guichen as a singer who is good at imitation, and in any singing competition, it is difficult to impress the audience if you are simply good at imitation, this is not an entertainment program!
There is a saying that those who learn from me live, and those who are like me die!
If you learn Zhang You's singing skills and singing control and emotional processing, then even if this singer can't become popular, he won't mix too badly, but if it's just a similarity in voice, then the audience will naturally not have much surprise, because there is already a Zhang You in the music world, and the audience doesn't need to see the second one!
"Guo Guichen's singing is like a god of songs, so our mentor Zhang You, who sat in the audience, was probably embarrassed to listen to it, as if he was looking at himself, right...... In the end, Guo Guichen received more than 9.43 million votes, although he had missed the semi-finals, he still thanked him for his efforts along the way...... The last singer to appear on the stage I believe you will not forget jì, that is Su Huimin, who is known for her delicate singing, she is also one of the five singers whose voice is favored by Xiao Ran this year, and today she still brings the song "Your Eyes" composed by Xiao Ran. ”
Su Huimin was originally a singer who was very optimistic about Xiao Ran who was qualified to win the annual championship, but who knew that she was so unlucky to be the last one in the semi-finals, which made Xiao Ran pinch a cold sweat for her!
Su Huimin's voice is unique in both color and range, so Xiao Ran has high expectations for her, and the battle of the top four also wrote this song "Your Eyes" to her, this song is a perfect middle range in Xiao Ran's opinion, which is very suitable for the delicacy of Su Huimin's voice......
Like a drizzle of rain falling on the bottom of my heart, it feels so mysterious, I can't help but look up at you, and you don't show a trace, although you don't say a word, it's unforgettable, it's your eyes, bright and beautiful. Ah~ There is a world of love, I am full of joy...... Like a drizzle of rain falling down on me, it felt so mysterious that I couldn't help but look up at you, and you didn't show a trace, though not a word. It's unforgettable, that's your eyes, bright and beautiful, ah~ There is a love world, I am full of joy...... Although it is silent, it is unforgettable, it is your eyes, bright and beautiful, ah~ There is a love world, I am full of joy......"
This song is very simple in terms of arrangement and lyrics, but it does not mean that the song is very simple, although this song is easy to learn to sing, it can be said that it is very easy to learn, but it is very difficult to sing well and beautiful and touching.
In order not to hide her own voice on the scene, when arranging, Su Huimin arranged a cello for herself, the cello is the highlight of the whole performance, and the other instruments are just auxiliary ......
After the singing of this song "Your Eyes", the audience was reluctant to open their eyes for a long time, and seemed to be completely immersed in Su Huimin's singing.
"After the last five minutes, we announced the singer's votes and the list of the top four, and in the last five minutes, all the audience have ears, our first annual champion of The Voice of China, and the second very eye-catching star mentor, the third guest and image spokesperson Xiao Ran, he will bring his new work in the last five minutes, so we are fortunate to hear his live again!"
