In addition, talking about the arrangement of the second part of "Black Humor", Jay Chou, as a producer, had to use the word genius again. Of course, this is also thanks to the arranger Zhong Xingmin, who is not a string master, and the drum kit and strings in the second part perfectly carry the mood and rhythm of the whole song. Let this song still last 13 years later. This is also one of the songs that many people have not been tired of listening to.

Good music must return to the essence, and a good love song must not be as simple as melody, it is the original beauty of people. In the last scene of the first part of the Italian director Tornatore's "Time and Space Trilogy" - "Cinema Paradiso", the old projectionist shows the male protagonist who has become a great director the kissing scenes that were cut out of all the previous films, and the male protagonist under the screen is in tears. -- The most beautiful is always the beginning, so sad, so sincere, those kiss scenes in life, those youth, are all washed under tears, incomparably clear.

"Black Humor", a bitter smile that is good, turns into a cry when you turn around......

After washing his heart, Du Xinghe released Fang Yajun the 6th place in his mind, "You Can Hear" from the album "Ye Huimei"!

Who knows better than I ~

Your gentleness is like a feather~

Secrets lie in my arms~

Only you can hear it~

What else does anyone know~

Your smile is like a hug~

I want to hide your good~

Only I can see it~

Standing on the roof only said to the wind~

I don't want to be swayed~

I hated the rainy sky~

Until I heard someone say that they love me~

Sitting on the second floor of the cinema~

Watch the crowd walk by~

How did we go that day~

I think I'm too dependent~

Just after hanging up the phone~

Insist on learning simple children~

Quietly watch over this love~

Know that you can't rely too much on ~

I'm afraid you'll spoil me~

Your scent has been lingering~

I was reluctant to leave~

This song is ranked so high by Du Xinghe, there must be many people who will disagree. Including Fang Yajun, I don't understand why Du Xinghe ranked this song in front of so many amazing works.

For Du Xinghe, this song is not music, but just a haunting aura that Jay Chou burst out at a certain point in time. It is also a good memory for him. has said that this list is very subjective, and there are a lot of his personal emotions in it.

In this song, there was the sentence "Why did we smile silently for a long time that day", Du Xinghe made a personal description of the penguin. It lasted for six or seven years. It's a song that can't be described in words.

There is almost no genre to be found in this song, and there is no one close to it.

The arrangement of this song is not outstanding, but it doesn't match this song, from the beginning of the rain, piano music, and rhythmic drums, so that this song maintains the artistic conception while highlighting the rhythm of R&B.

In the overall arrangement, the beginning and end are a perfect echo. It was as if you were in a rainy afternoon at the beginning. Then, with the piano, the mind slowly returns to a sunny day, and before the end of the song, the sound of rain rises again, as if the thoughts are withdrawn, and this sense of interlacing between time and space is the creativity and highlight of the arrangement, which makes people indulge in it at once.

Then talk about the singing of this song, this is one of Jay Chou's most perfect singing skills. It's not about how high the technique is, how high the pitch is. It is a perfect interpretation of a song that is just right in line with the artistic conception, including spirituality, timbre, exhalation, attitude, and mood, all of which are indispensable. One of the sentences -

"Standing on the roof, I only say to the wind ~ I don't want to be swayed ~ I hated the rainy sky~ until I heard someone say they loved me~

Sitting on the second floor of the cinema ~ watching the crowd walk by ~

Why did we ~ smile silently for a long time that day ~"

This section is the most perfect timbre in Jay Chou's life, and there is no one. The falsetto, the murmur, will give goosebumps all over the body. No song can fight. All were blown to slag. The falsetto and true tone switching of the sentence "I originally hated the rainy sky" may not be able to be copied by Jay Chou himself. The piano jumps arranged like a music box make this short singing very spiritual and vigorous. In fact, this sentence is very rhythmic when listened to carefully, but Jay Chou's perfect singing has summarized the melody, making basically everyone else instantly mediocre when singing. This is also the reason why this song is not popular, because it is impossible to sing the spirituality and charm in it.

"Why did we smile silently for a long time that day~"

The words of this sentence are very literary, more literary than any so-called literary songs now, and it is the kind of literature that hits the depths of the heart, and no matter how hard the heart is, it will be softened by this lyric.

"I think I'm too reliant ~ just now when I hung up the phone~

Insist on learning simple children ~ quietly watch over this love ~

I know that I can't rely too much ~ I'm afraid you'll spoil me ~

Your fragrance has been lingering~I'm reluctant to leave~"

Before talking about the chorus, let's talk about the drums that enter the chorus a few times, all of which are particularly flavorful, appearing in 1 minute and 22 seconds, and about 2 minutes and 44 seconds. It makes people feel like they are entering the chorus as soon as they listen to it, and the best feeling of this song is the soft hard rhythm. These drum beats also illustrate this very well. It means that it sounds soft, but it actually has a sense of rhythm like blues. This feeling has found a shadow in another later singer Fang Datong, of course, the timbre is completely different, but the way of soft interpretation of hard rhythms is the same, but then again, this also reflects Jay Chou's pioneering and representativeness. Many people may not have expected it, but it turns out that Jay Chou has played songs of this style like Fang Datong a long time ago, and he played it very well.

Speaking of the chorus, why did you emphasize a few drum beats on the arrangement before, in fact, you took out this paragraph alone, and there is not much melodic difference from the main song, the biggest difference is in the arrangement, and singing. This is also one of the more brilliant aspects of this song. How to say this feeling, it's the main chorus, the main chorus, the main chorus, the switch between them is not too obvious, but you can immerse yourself in it and it's hard to tell, and the whole song seems to be repeating this lazy state all the time. This is also the reason why this song exudes charm to this day, which is unpredictable.

The name of this song is "You Can Hear It", in order to match the title of this song, Jay Chou deliberately arranged an easter egg. At around 2 minutes and 10 seconds. The phrase "only you can hear it" has been processed by the computer in reverse. It's not really "to listen to you have one". It's recorded and then reversed. It's very simple to hear, you can use the built-in recorder of windows to record this sentence first, and then reverse the effect, you can hear it, which is in line with the lyrics of this sentence, only you can hear it. The "you" here naturally has an extra layer of meaning, a caring person.

The whole song can be described as full of aura, depending on the singing of the following words.

"I want to hide your goodness ~ only I can see it ~ " The whole sentence is a lazy falsetto of "I can see it".

"Standing on the roof and only saying to the wind ~ I don't want to be swayed ~" is the whole sentence, pay special attention to the drum beat of this sentence, it is really seamless. The voice of the words "being swayed" is also beautiful.

"I hated the rainy sky~ until I heard someone say they loved me~"

The word "originally" can only be explained by Reiki, and the word "rain" is a divine melody.

"Sitting on the second floor of the movie theater ~ watching the crowd walk by ~"

The word "walking" is no longer audible, and it is not good to be lazy.

The phrase "have been smiling silently for a long time" will make people have that special feeling every time they hear it, and it is really the state of smiling silently for a long time. The most feeling sentence.

"Better than I know" appears here for about 2 minutes, and it was supposed to be "Who can know better than me", and it was sung directly from the word "than", without other intentions, just the lazy state when the table xiàn sang, as if he had forgotten to enter the song.

"Why are we on that day~" here refers to about 2 minutes and 38 seconds for the second time, and the word "how" seems to be weak, but inexplicably, as soon as I hear this breath of death, I feel that it sounds like death.

The last chorus that starts at 3 minutes and 20 seconds, the arrangement is changed, and then the sound of rain at the beginning reappears, giving people a sense of trance, and this echo at the beginning and end is mentioned above, and it is not repeated.

For Du Xinghe, this song carries too much, but he doesn't want to recall those youthful memories anymore.

continued to play songs for Fang Yajun, and released "Qili Xiang", which ranked fifth in the undisputed ranking!

"Seven Miles of Fragrance" was included in Jay Chou's 2004 album of the same name "Seven Miles of Fragrance".

Many years ago, Hayao Miyazaki's "Valley of the Wind" made people fall in love with the sound of the wind.

"The Wind Blows"

Well, that summer, too, the wind rose.

It also brings the fragrance of seven mile incense.

Presumably, many people can't remember how many times they have heard the prelude of "Qili Xiang", the gusts of wind whistling by. Can you instantly go back to that summer, that windy afternoon?

The first time I heard "Qilixiang", it must be amazing. I will never forget the sound of the wind accompanying the guitar, which was originally a hot summer, but it became extremely cool that year. Maybe this is like a breeze.

The prelude to "Seven Miles of Fragrance" has become a kind of incantation, a kind of incantation that only fans understand. Whether you're wearing headphones, outside, or at a concert, as long as the prelude is together, you'll laugh a lot. But then I cried very happily as soon as I saw the prelude to the concert. Maybe the earliest spell principle is actually a conditioned reflex, "Qili Xiang" is so magically used as a spell by Jay Chou, a magician, and the people who are cursed can no longer hear this song at the scene, if they don't want to cry their noses.

Back in the summer of '04.

The agreed time. After a whole year of waiting, it's time to be Jay Chou every year. The title of the album this time did not play tricks, and the theme of the album copywriting that year was also to return to the music itself, and Jay Chou used the title of the same name as the title of the album for the first time, named "Qili Xiang". I hope everyone's eyes are on music.

Soon "Qili Xiang" premiered on TV along with the MV, and now I remember the most impressive scene is that Jay Chou and the heroine are sitting back to back.

That year, the "Qili Xiang" album was a big hit. became Jay Chou's best-selling album, and it sold 300W copies in a month. In that year. The number of Jay Chou passers-by reached its peak, and even in the rainy physical education class, the physical education teacher actually took Qilixiang's DVD to watch the MV.

Let's talk about the album "Qili Xiang", after all, this is also the last song on the list of this album. To be honest, looking back at the album "Qili Xiang" so far, the average level is quite high. has returned to the state of the top three that each song is good, this state is the best, far better than the uneven "Ye Huimei", "Ye Huimei" is not a few bad songs, because there are obviously god-level works that are much higher than other works. If Wen Lan doesn't take away "Summer Wind" and "Happy Birthday to Me". Instead of "Love Cliff" and "The Same Tune", the height of "Ye Huimei" is unimaginable!

Returning to the album "Qilixiang", the love song trio of "Garden Party" + "Excuse" + "Stranded" is simply perfect. "Grandma God" complained, and the rap of "General" + "Flurry Spring and Autumn" exploded. "My Turf" is the most successful commercial song in history. "The Battle of the Trapped Beasts" is also a masterpiece of style breakthrough, and the sentence "If I break out of the dark sky, don't tie up my freedom" is even more godlike. One of Jay Chou's divine comedies in "The Death of the War", TOP10 is not explained. "Qili Xiang" is the main hit, and it is even more popular all over the country.

It can be said that "Qili Xiang", as the last of the top 5 gods, not only deserves its name, but also has a finale in terms of popularity.

Presumably, many fans of Jay have become a habit to cycle this album for a period of time every summer. Otherwise, youth is for nostalgia. Many people once thought that the main song was really ordinary, but it has become more and more fresh in the precipitation of the years, and the favorability of this song has been raised from listening to vomit to today's status, full of emotion and feelings.

Of course, it's not just about remembrance. This song certainly has its own uniqueness. There is a capital that is remembered, and a timeless temperament.

Starting from the lyrics, Meng Fei once said that the lyrics of "Qili Xiang" are like poems, with taste! "Qili Xiang" is a song, and even the melody and accompaniment are poetic notes. Nine years ago, we didn't understand the beauty of "Seven Miles of Fragrance". stubbornly feels that Jay Chou has changed, he has become uncool, and even the public has begun to accept him, is Jay Chou who has become warm and literary still the one we love?

Watching the little girls regard Jay Lun as their first love one by one, the fans of Jay nine years ago were inexplicably a little lost, as if the treasure they found was snatched away by everyone.

Nine years later, the plot of Jay Chou, which has long returned to the bland, has made people start to examine "Qilixiang" again and fall in love with the song again. A melody that should have been tired of being heard. In the past few years, it has become more and more charming.

The first thing I liked must be the lyrics that I felt a little tired of after I got tired of listening to them back then.

"The sparrow outside the window ~ has a lot of mouths on the telephone pole ~

You say this~It's summery~"

Xi Murong once wrote a poem called "Qili Xiang", which is of course more poetic than what Wen Shan wrote. Fang Wenshan's words, without poetic words, return to the pastoral, return to the essence of Fang Wenshan, this is actually the poet.

A few simple words bring people. It's the feeling of summer.

"It rained all night ~ my love overflowed like rain ~

The fallen leaves in the yard ~ are thick with my thoughts ~

A few words of right and wrong~ can't cool my enthusiasm~

You appear on every page of my poems~

It rained all night and my love overflowed like rain~

Window sill butterflies ~ like beautiful chapters flying in the poem ~

I went on to write ~to write that I will always love you at the end of the poem~

You are the only thing I want to know~"

Fang Wenshan's perspective is unique, and Wenshan writes words again. The poet in the word is writing the poem, and the content of the poem is you.

If Wenshan writes a love letter, I believe no one can not be moved, right?

"The full ears of rice ~ happy this season ~

And your cheeks are like ripe tomatoes in the field~

You suddenly said to me ~Nanachika's name is beautiful~

I just want to kiss your stubborn mouth at the moment~"

A poet is a poet, not only in the words, but also in Fang Wenshan, this paragraph is the favorite of many fans.

Of course. The words always face the song, I like this paragraph, or because of the song, let's talk about the melody of "Qili Xiang".

is different from the smoke of "Octave Space" and the cold godfather of "Ye Huimei", "Qili Xiang" as the main hit is really a bit suspicious of catering to the market. But using a love song as the title song of the album made people a little haunting at the time. And the not particularly outstanding listening resistance also made people a little disappointed at the time, analyzing the reason, mainly because of the melodic structure of the song.

The general song may be AB, AB, and it's over, and the general Jay is ABCD...... Creativity continues.

The structure of the song is relatively simple.

"The sparrow outside the window ~ has a lot of mouths on the telephone pole ~

You say this sentence ~ very summery feeling ~ The pencil in his hand ~ back and forth on the paper ~

I use a few lines to describe who you are to me~

The taste of saury ~ cats and you want to know ~

The fragrance of first love~ was found by us in this way~

The warm sunshine ~ like a freshly picked bright strawberry ~

You said you were reluctant to eat it~This feeling~"

That's Part A.

The rest is basically a B-part chorus, followed by a repetition of the last few lines of the A-part chorus, followed by a repetition of the chorus.

The advantage of such a structure is that the melody is easy to attract, and the chorus of large sections is particularly easy to like, of course, the side effect of this is the durability of hearing, which is really eye-catching when it first comes out, and after a period of time, it is inevitable that the aesthetic fatigue will be avoided, and the repetition of large sections is even more impatient. But! Du Xinghe ranked this song in the TOP5 not just for the fame of this song, some songs just need time to test, Qilixiang is.

As mentioned earlier, such a structure will reduce the hearing resistance, but it is unfortunate that after many years, those repeated melodies are full of summer memories, to say that memory plus points, "Qili Xiang" is the first, and there is nothing wrong with memory plus points. "Qili Xiang" is simply a natural fit for memory plus. That long section of the chorus was simply meant to be available for years to come. After many years have passed, the previous shortcomings have all become advantages, no more impatience, no longer the limit of hearing resistance, when listening to Qili Xiang today, it is estimated that most people just want the chorus to be repeated all the time and all the time, and never stop. Because it's so good!! There's nothing better than this song for 10,000 people to sing along. Not one of them.

The most heart-pounding thing about this song is the breeze that gets in a few times. Zhong Xingmin's fame as an orchestral master is really not covered, and the strings of this song are at their peak. The drum kit that pressed the chorus made the song melodious after listening to the chorus now. The strumming of the guitar is even more fascinating. (To be continued......)
