This song "Simple Love" made Fang Yajun's mood particularly rippling! It's like going back to the days when I went to college more than ten years ago! This simple love, this simple feeling, is so precious, so much that she longs for it. Her heart was warm and sour when she listened. I don't know if she can still harvest such a simple love in the future.

Inexplicably, Fang Yajun glanced at Du Xinghe.

When many musicians think that they have a certain amount of musical experience and begin to ridicule simple pop music, when many musicians use classical structures and dramatic content to express their own complex musical themes, in fact, the music at this time is also detached from the essence of pop music. This kind of music, the market acceptance is not high, and the fans' ability to appreciate it is not enough, and it is the creator himself who misinterprets the simplest and most simple essence of pop music. "Simple Love" reveals a kind of simplicity from any angle.

Du Xinghe admires this song very much, and after studying so many pop songs, he still appreciates this song very much.

The pure love when I was a student was astringent and simple. Riding a bicycle, watching the sunset, in the complicated floating world, who doesn't yearn for such a simple scene, Jay Chou is the perception of this feeling, and then condensed and created such a song.

This song depicts the youthfulness and sweetness of first love, the feeling of simplicity and no distractions, the absolute pure love, the sweet mood of a boy in love, and the style and rhythm are easy to catch.

It can be said that "Simple Love" is a masterpiece of J-style rhythm love songs, showing Jay's innocent side. The simple arrangement, with plucking and percussion, constructs a light-hearted picture of first love, and listening to this kind of song is another indescribable pleasure.

Same as "Lovely Woman". The lyrics of this song are also from Xu Ruoxuan's hand, the song is as its name suggests, this song is about simple love.

Du Xinghezi thought that this song was Jay Chou's masterpiece, and it had nothing to do with height.

The whole song, regardless of the lyrics and arrangement, is simple. But it swept the campus back then, and I don't know how many people knew this half-humming and half-singing Jay Chou from simple love. Now it sounds like the lyrics say: a burst of inexplicable emotion.

Judging from the arrangement, this song is a solo drum kit. From the first note, it is basically dominated by the drum kit, and it is conceivable that the next step will be a catchy melody

Speaking of words, Xu Ruoxuan even completed the secret love "Can't Open Your Mouth" so well, the simple love of "Simple Love" is naturally not a problem, and the lyrics are basically what couples in love will do. Hand in hand, watching the sunset together, falling asleep together, taking you on a bike, watching the ball together, you leaning on my shoulder, you falling asleep on my chest, it couldn't be easier.

Qu words. It's a little simpler, indeed, but back then. Du Xinghe doesn't think this song is simple at all, in the era when ballet songs are popular, the tune of "Simple Love" wants a fresh wind, which makes the whole campus confused with a small and fresh simple love.

In addition, the harmony of the whole song is also quite outstanding, and the simple harmony also adds a lot of pure atmosphere in the high-tide part.

Jay Chou's love songs can be roughly divided into several categories: 1. The sadness of the sling. 2. Ignorant youth. 3. Romantic love. 4. Patient breakup. This is basically the emotional stage that everyone goes through. Jay Chou is more than just a musical genius. The music IQ is at the level of genius, and at the same time, he is also a person with a very high emotional intelligence. When Jay Chou was innovating and reforming music, he didn't forget the popularity of jì music, so Jay Chou wrote love songs, is it good to write? That's excellent. Four types, none of which are masterpieces. The sadness of the sling silk has come out of "Can't Open Your Mouth", there are many ignorant early youths, "Xingqing", "Tornado" and so on, of course, there are several god-level representatives that will come out later. There are many romantic love in the late and middle periods, and "Simple Love" is one of the masterpieces. There are also a lot of impatient breakup masterpieces, "All the Way North", "Stranded", "Retreat", and "I'm Not Worthy", etc.

Why can "Simple Love" be ranked so high by Du Xinghe? First of all, the height of this song is very high in the morning, and the wide singing is not even inferior to "Nunchuck", although the melody sounds too simple today, but in that era, it was full of freshness and the sense of substitution of the song, this feeling is difficult for Jay Chou's previous love songs to do, in addition, love songs like "Simple Love" have made great contributions to the degree of singing, if Jay Chou is just a high-end strange song fast song, I believe Jay Chou may not have today's height, and it is bound to have a lot less resonators, I believe that many people were captured by Jay Chou's early love songs.

In the early Chinese music scene, strange songs and singing voices like Jay Chou were actually difficult to recognize, let alone resonate, maybe it is difficult for children today to understand the state at that time, was "Nunchuck" very recognized at that time? Not at all, many songs you need to be forced to go through many, many times before you slowly find the feeling, maybe you buy pirated tapes just for the "Simple Love" in it, but it is such a song "Simple Love", which may have made countless young men and women fall in love with "Fantesi" and "Jay Chou" at that time. Because your tape doesn't support the next song at all, it's too cumbersome to fast-forward, so listen slowly. If you are not careful, you have been poisoned, and you are immersed in it every day and can't extricate yourself, congratulations, you have embarked on the road of no return, and it will be more than ten years since you left......

After letting go of "Simple Love", he will enter the top 20 in Du Xinghe's mind.

For Du Xinghe, the top 20 are all classics in all aspects, and they all have a lot of merits, so it doesn't matter about the ranking, the high points and low points of the song are normal.

First of all, he released a Hokkien work "The Train Goes" to Fang Yajun, which sounds very kind to Fang Yajun!

Hearing the songs in the Hokkien dialect, Fang Yajun was super pleasantly surprised! Let's not talk about whether this song is good or not, just this kind country sound has made Fang Yajun a little unable to control himself.

Every time she hears such a song, Fang Yajun will be sure in her heart that the Zhang family created this ghost talent Jay Chou in the world of illusions. It is based on Du Xinghe as a template! Otherwise, how could he sing such a moving Hokkien song?

This song "The Train Goes to the Place" is Jay Chou's first unprecedented attempt, and the song sung in Hokkien is included in "Octave Space", which Du Xinghe admires very much.

The translation of this song from Hokkien into Mandarin should be like this-

……

Where is the train going~

Listen to me ~ roadside in the countryside ~ cicadas hiding in the trees ~

July day ~ lively singing ~ xi ~ la ~ sou ~ fa ~ mi~

Listen to me ~ the scenery is so beautiful ~ where the train is going ~

The car passes through the tunnel and becomes night~

But all of a sudden~

If Jay Chou's song is purely based on music, what kind of height can it reach? No one can answer, but maybe you can find the answer in this song.

How do you sum up the height of this song? Let's put it this way, a certain universe king Xu once borrowed a little bit of the fur of the train to go. Not even one percent of the essence is made, and it is made into a song. Straight to the main hit.

You can see the depth of the song.

"Train Talking" is a Hokkien song, for most Hokkien illiterate, the lyrics of the whole song are blank, but pay attention, the magic of this song is that you can hear the artistic conception of the lyrics without using the lyrics, just rely on the arrangement. and melody. You can roughly hear such a story: a person has traveled far away, another is missing, one is far away, the other is in his hometown, and there are even scenery and stories during the journey.

It's a kind of charm that transcends the lyrics.

Maybe it's the clatter of the train at the beginning, maybe it's the artistic conception of traveling far away in the tune, or maybe it's the clip of the train in the MV similar to the train in "Spirited Away". It's the kind of song you can't understand the lyrics at all, but because you can't understand the lyrics. It brings us more artistic conception and imagination.

The arrangement of this song is not uncommon to use sound effects at the beginning. But the sound effect is definitely not added randomly, and the best thing to say is naturally the sound of the train going to the station.

Hokkien songs are old and nostalgic in the impression, and then the sound of the train, the old train station, always makes people have a very literary atmosphere. It's a nostalgic feeling. The combination of the two is seamless.

If you are familiar enough with Jay Chou's songs, you should be able to find a previous work from the song immediately. That is "I'm Sorry", the arrangement of the song "I'm Sorry" is the same as "The Train Goes", and the overall arrangement seems to be very simple and unchanged. In fact, it is quite rich, and the sound effects of various instruments, the pursuit of sound effects in this kind of song is basically not a real record. It's all done in MIDI. The whole is in line with the loose feelings of the slow old days of the whole song.

The most important thing about this song is of course the song, Jay Chou is a genius, where is the genius, "The Train Goes" is a textbook, and there are too many things taught in it. What is the prelude, it is exciting from the first word, the perfect rhythm and melody, the rhythm of each word is unbeatable, how to turn from the prelude to the climax? This song has a large section of perfect harmonic switching, which instantly makes people paralyzed. What is High-Tide? Jay Chou told you that between the high and the high tide can be layer after layer, endlessly,

"You don't have any news at all~

I'm like a bee looking for honey~

Tear the past one by one~

This calendar horse tear to when will you have the word ~"

The essence lies in the transposition of the last sentence, which is directly connected to the next high-tide, which instantly shocks the tiger's body and tightens the chrysanthemum.

In addition, the most difficult part of this song is endurance, a good melody is rare, but there will be a time to listen to it, but there is such a song, your song list has been updated countless times, it is still there, it has always been there, and I have never been tired of listening to it, which has to make people sigh its charm and magic.

After listening to "The Train Talks", Du Xinghe released another divine comedy to Fang Yajun, ranking 19th "Rain All Night"——

……

The shop window under the street lamp ~ has a lonely warmth ~ Exhale on the glass ~ drawing your appearance ~ Driving the car aimlessly turning~I don't know where I'm going~

The TV wall in the downtown area ~ who is watching ~ ……

The aspen shadow is elongated~

Like I can't finish missing you~

It turns out that I have never been used to it~ you are no longer by my side~

The iron gates of the street were pulled up~

Only the neon lights in the corners are still flashing~

The alleys of this city~rained all night~

……

You hold a small paper umbrella ~ sigh that the marriage is too tactful ~ The rain falls and the fog is boundless~ ask where the end of the world is~

Midnight flute ~ flute remnants ~ sneaking through ~ through the window ~

In front of the candlestick~I'm still thinking about it~

Small sampan ~ paddling ~ small paper umbrella ~ sheltering the rain and moonlight ~

……

The aspen shadow is elongated~

Like I can't finish missing you~

It turns out that I have never been used to it~ you are no longer by my side~

The iron gates of the street were pulled up~

Only the neon lights in the corners are still flashing~

The alleys of this city~rained all night~

……

This "Rain All Night" is included in the "Cross-Era" album, which is Jay Chou's relatively recent work, and its lyrics, music style and MV screen are all innovative Chinese styles from modern times to ancient times.

The first half of the song is a simple guitar lyric, and after one song, the music takes a sharp turn. Chinese musical instruments such as erhu, Beijing drum, and guzheng were suddenly added to the background music, and Jay Chou's singing voice also changed from modern R&B to a singing method that simulated the hanging voice of Peking Opera, skillfully connecting ancient and modern lyricism.

In terms of lyrics, Fang Wenshan's best poetic writing is just a few words. The emotions, scenes, and feelings are written deeply into the play, which is indeed an amazing work.

Many people will classify this song as "Chinese style", but for this song, "Chinese style" is not a compliment, this song is a "cross-era" work, which is a kind of creativity.

The essence of the album "Cross-Era" is "cross-era", all in this song. In this song, Jay Chou completed the bold creation of six elements across the era at the same time, including lyrics, songs, arrangements, singing, artistic conception, and MV.

For many years to come. This song is estimated to be unprecedented, and even if there are later comers, it can only be imitation and tribute.

The style of the whole song is very different before and after, and it is not an exaggeration to call the interlude transition a masterpiece of the world. Let's take a closer look at how Jay Chou is whimsical.

Start with a word:

"The shop window under the street lamp ~ has a lonely warmth ~ Exhale on the glass ~ drawing your appearance ~ Driving aimlessly around ~ I don't know where I'm going ~

The TV wall in the downtown area ~ who is watching ~ The shadow of the poplar wood is stretched ~ like I can't finish missing you ~

It turns out that I have never been used to it~ you are no longer by my side~

The iron gate of the street was pulled shut~ only the neon lights at the corner were still flashing~

The city~alley~rain all night~"

The words of the first half are very modern, shop windows. Glass, car. Neon lights, everywhere shows the modern atmosphere of the city, the protagonist is lonely and misses the other half, you are not by my side, I have never been used to it.

The lyrics are pretty much here. The first pass is over, is that the end of this song? Looking at the music and arrangement, in terms of arrangement, the accompaniment of the guitar is slightly cold, on the music. Jay Chou spit out every word in a slightly awkward singing voice, and it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood at the high notes, and the alleys of the city, raining all night, have a faint Chinese style atmosphere. Sure enough, a qiē is just the beginning.

The middle interlude is the most wonderful one so far, 1 minute and 42 seconds, with the rapid beating of the Beijing drum, the music takes a sharp turn, from the present to the ancient prelude, the erhu is like crying, accompanied by the blow of the Beijing drum, it makes people seem to travel to the ancient city of fireworks in March, the addition of the flute shows that the interlude has reached the second half, and it is time to enter the main topic, sure enough, Jay Chou's singing tone has changed, and then look at the lyrics at this time-

"You hold a small paper umbrella ~ sigh that the marriage is too tactful ~ The rain falls and the fog is boundless~ ask where the end of the world is~

Midnight flute ~ flute remnants ~ sneaking through ~ through the window ~

In front of the candlestick~I'm still thinking about it~

Small sampan ~ paddling paddling ~

Small paper umbrella ~ Shelter the rain and moonlight ~"

Jay Chou's singing voice has changed significantly when he completed this paragraph, in order to cater to the artistic conception and arrangement of the song, that light sigh makes people have endless aftertaste, and the harmony in the second half directly makes people exclaim that Jay Chou's aura is back, and the second half is similar to the flower cavity treatment. Jay Chou is indeed an excellent singer.

Speaking of arrangement, this arrangement has the accompaniment of the guzheng, the guitar and jazz drums are the mainstay, and the artistic conception is very different with the lyrics and songs. From the present to the past, this crossing is not without excitement. At this time, it's time to travel back, the Beijing drum is vibrant, the style of music turns back to modern again, Jay Chou's singing voice returns to the beginning, and the singing is finished.

Many people say that the modern part of the song is not brilliant enough, but after a period of precipitation, when I look back at it, I have to sigh at the ingenuity, and after a few years, this interlude has become more and more brilliant, and part of the reason for this is precisely the formal foreshadowing of the first half, which makes the interlude addictive when it arrives. Just like what Xing Ye said in "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance", you have to compare and see the beauties. That's exactly what this song is, the bland overhead in the front just accumulates the climax in the middle, and the whole song is flawless.

Finally, I have to mention the MV of this song, which is particularly exciting!

The MV for this song found Darren of the Wave Brothers to be the leading actor to perform the love affair across time and space in the past and present lives.

Darren plays the photographer who is attracted by a photo from the 20s and 30s on the occasion of a wedding banquet, and he also enters the ancient past life, in which he fell in love with the heroine but watched her marry someone else, Darren hid in the antique curtain camera and burst into tears when he took wedding photos for them, and returned to the venue of the wedding banquet of this life, and saw the heroine who looked similar.

Fang Yajun is very invested in watching it, beautiful music, and moving stories, which is the most beautiful enjoyment for her. (To be continued......)
