Chapter 821: Dong Chou's Music Ranking (4)

In Du Xinghe's heart, the song ranked 43rd is "Coward" in "Ye Huimei".

THIS IS A HEAVY METAL ROCK SONG, AND THE MOST SPECIAL THING IS THAT SNOOPY'S RAP ADDS A LOT OF COLOR TO THE SONG.

The whole song is extremely impetuous, and the lyrics are written word for word, and in this black tune, a children's rap reflects the great danger that drugs bring to children.

This song seems to involve ethnic and tribal strife, war, and surprisingly, from the perspective of a naïve child, it sounds more tragic and shocking, and the helplessness dilated by the bright pupils is the most terrifying.

Jay Chou said that he likes to mix and match things the most, "Coward" is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces, heavy metal rock style mix and match a large section of rap, mix and match a little girl's rap to directly improve the listenability of this song by several levels, this diversified style of music is absolutely worthy of affirmation, and it is bound to improve the listenability and height of the song-

……

The crowd around blocked my exit~

I can only say that it's really hard to get up~

The sound of gunfire from Fire Alley woke me up from heaven~

A Caucasian man with brown hair collapsed in front of me~

……

From the half bag in his hand, I saw a lot of my ridiculous shadow~

From his eyeballs, I was so ugly when I saw that I was trembling~

So he picked up his second button on the ground~

Remind yourself that you should start to be sensible and not be controlled by soft drugs~

……

In my eyes, I know how to refuse in order to survive~

Being alive is not used to act in an erosive black comedy~

Say no, I regret that I didn't have such an affirmation at the beginning~

Saying no doesn't mean coward~

……

I really shouldn't be unable to open my eyes~

Don't let my earth darken~

Animals that kill each other are so beautiful~

……

I am expected to be covered ~

I can't learn the formula of transformation~

I can't smell the smell of rot~

……

Say no, I regret that I didn't have such an affirmation at the time~

Saying no doesn't mean coward~

You should be very proud, I look down on people's ignorant curiosity~

Go close to death~

Are you very hanging, are you hanging~

I inhaled too much of the dirty fragrance~

I've seen too much of the vision of corruption~

Dilated pupils do not mean that you can see more~

No wonder adults say that we will never grow up~

……

That piece of clean sky in my dreams~

That piece of clean sky in my dreams~

Whether you play with the wind blowing or not, you may be able to see it~

Whether you play with the wind blowing or not, you may be able to see it~

……

I really shouldn't ~ can't open my eyes ~

Don't let my earth darken~

Red paint on the fire hydrant on the street corner~

reflects the innocent playful appearance of childhood~

I am expected to be covered ~

I can't learn the formula of transformation~

Isn't this the heavenly sight I want~

Sinking into the illusion ~ you will only feel more depressed ~

……

After Fang Yajun heard "Coward", she asked Du Xinghe with some puzzlement: "How can this song be ranked in front of "Thousands of Miles Away"? "The arrangement of "Double Knife" is very 'hanging', and it is just in front of thousands of miles away, this "Coward", she really can't see the potential to surpass the more mixed and matched "Thousands of Miles Away".

Du Xinghe said: "This song is a very characteristic song, with a dark tone. But in fact, it is a personalized inspirational song, the lyrics dissect his inner monologue from the perspective of a drug addict, and use a dark and heavy attitude in the opposite direction to tell the listener a positive story. ”

Du Xinghe took a sip of tea and said: "You may think this song is very dry when you hear it for the first time, but you won't hate it." This is one of the most common places in Jay Chou's early works, and I think this is the depth of ghost talent. A song with depth and durability is definitely not something that the listener can't listen to a second or third time, but many of his later songs have this problem, you can't like the song after listening to the first few times, or you can hear something interesting if you listen to it a few more times, but is this durable? Obviously not, take "Coward" as an example, I personally think that a song that you didn't fall in love with at first but definitely not hate, you intuitively feel that this song is a good work, but you haven't found that point for the time being. The first time I heard "Coward", you listen to it a few more times, you find that you already like the little girl's rap very much, congratulations, you have taken the first step, listen to it a few more times in the future, at least you have an expectation, looking forward to the appearance of the little girl's voice. Slowly you find that in addition to this girl's rap, you find that you don't feel noisy anymore with the arrangement of heavy metal. You also hear the flavor, congratulations, you've started to get hooked on the song. Until this time, the song is still brand new, because you find that there are so many things in this song that you haven't noticed, and there are highlights that you haven't listened to once. That's why this song deserves a single loop. ”

Regarding listening resistance, Du Xinghe also has counterexamples, but he didn't tell Fang Yajun, just like the later "Relatively Large Cello", the first time you listen to it, you will find that there are many melodies that you don't like at all. It's very unpleasant, the first time I listened to it, I didn't catch your ears at all, would you think this is Jay Chou's song? It's impossible for such a complex arrangement and rhythm to be so mediocre, you single loop, but it's forced, not appealing to you, and then you'll slowly find a little feeling, and even occasionally it sounds pretty good, but that's just it, when you find that you can hum the whole song, the freshness is gone, and I really haven't listened to it a few more times.

After letting go of "Coward", Du Xinghe continued to advance into his own rankings, and released Fang Yajun "Maple", which ranked 42nd in his heart!

……

The dark clouds cast a shadow in our hearts~

I listen to the mood that has been silent for a long time~

Clear and transparent ~ like a beautiful scenery ~

I always see it clearly in my memories~

……

Can the broken heart continue to love me~

I took my hands that were not warm with force~

The past is gentle~ has been locked by time~

Only the sadness that lingers is left~

……

The slowly falling maple leaves are like missing~

I light a candle to warm the autumn at the end of the year~

Aurora plunders the horizon~

The north wind blows and thinks about your face~

I burned my love into a fallen leaf~

But I can't get back to the familiar face~

……

The slowly falling maple leaves are like missing~

Why should the redemption be rushed before the winter comes~

Love you through time~

Two lines from the tears of late autumn~

Let love penetrate the ground~

All I want is for you to be by my side~

……

Can the broken heart continue to love me~

I took my hands that were not warm with force~

The gentleness of the past has been locked by time~

Only the sadness that lingers is left~

……

The red rain wafting on the mountainside~

As the north wind withered, I gently swayed the wind chimes~

I want to awaken the abandoned love~

Snowflakes have spread all over the ground~

I'm afraid that the maple leaves outside the window have frozen ~

The slowly falling maple leaves are like missing~

……

I light a candle to warm the autumn at the end of the year~

Aurora plunders the horizon~

The north wind blows and thinks about your face~

I burned my love into a fallen leaf~

But I can't get back to the familiar face~

……

The slowly falling maple leaves are like missing~

Why should the redemption be rushed before the winter comes~

Love you through time~

Two lines from the tears of late autumn~

Let love penetrate the ground~

All I want is for you to be by my side~

……

Du Xinghe closed his eyes and listened, if "Sunny Day" and "Qili Xiang" gave the summer in our minds a background sound from now on, then "Maple" is the best memory of that autumn. It's a song that he can't express in too many words. At this moment, the melody and rhythm are floating clouds, because of a past incident, this "Maple" has risen to a height of artistic conception.

Warhead's words + Jay Chou's song + Zhong Xingmin's arrangement, such a combination is difficult to think of if it is not a classic. Every time I listen to it. Du Xinghe will recall the past of that autumn, as if he was in a maple forest, the autumn wind blows off the maple leaves, and you are walking on the fallen leaves, the coolness of autumn hits, and the gloomy wind seems to be gloomy in the whole sky. How beautiful the artistic conception is.

The song as a whole has a very atmospheric feeling. It's not the kind of petty bourgeois love song, the piano accompaniment from beginning to end is fascinating, and the melody is up and down, the treble is higher than the other, and it is quite difficult to sing.

Like "Maple", the song ranked 41st in Du Xinghe's mind is still from the "Chopin in November" album, that is, "Embattled"

……

My life is like ~filming a play~

There are so many directors and screenwriters~

only said one line~

And they were matched with eight hundred tones~

Manipulating my love xù~

That's not my tone at all~

I want the audience to watch a good show~

The final purpose~

It's not about boosting ratings~

I don't know if ~I have the courage~

Remove their masks~

All I know is ~like~

Serious men are the most beautiful~

Will it continue to be performed~

until they are satisfied~

……

~~~~~

oh~oh~ I can't go back~

~~~~~

oh~oh, I can only keep going~

……

I'm on my way home~

I saw a road sign pointing to the showbiz~

If you choose to go forward~

I have to be strong~

Walking and walking ~ inexplicably ~

Several dogs rushed out~

I thought to myself when I'm going to ~ adopt so many dogs ~

They bite the apple~

Holding a long lens in his hand~

As if you're going to tell me something~conspiracy~

Talking Dog ~ He said he was for Dog Weekly ~ Let's see if you can shoot me ~ change a few more bones ~

……

If it hurts me, it's your nature~

That mercy is my motto~ (Dog~~~)

Need me to light your way home~

Then I'll give you a flashlight~ (dog~~~)

……

I sue them sù ~ gossip is going to pass ~

News is temporary~Life is permanent~

Music is here to stay~

I wrote the song for them~

Because I haven't written a song about conservation animals~

I'm still me~ No one can change me~

Although I know a lot of archers~

I want to shoot down and climb up~

When I got to the top of the mountain~No one could hurt me~

These archers ~ have worked hard for your pen ~ ……

I'll still treat you as friends~

Because I know ~ it's all your job ~

Come on~The dog biting the apple~

Although not my opponent~

You can still be my dog~

~~~~~

oh~oh~ I can't go back~

~~~~~

oh~oh~ I can only keep going~

……

(Korean Rap translation)

Why~I run with me wherever I go~

The secret of the lives of these traders~

This kind of pressure is not needed~

Before the end of this song~I'll decide what to do with it~

From losing my privacy to being annoyed by my family being harassed~

It's time to end ~ because you can't find what you're looking for anyway ~

……

~~~~~

oh~oh~ I can't go back~

~~~~~

oh~oh~ I can only keep going~

……

I'm afraid that there will be no news~

I learned to drive ~ to track others ~

oh~oh~for what~

oh~oh~for the bones~

……

Voyeur other people's lives~

I thought I was a detective ~ I saw too much Conan ~ oh~oh~ what did you shoot~

oh~oh nothing~

This song has a very traditional cultural charm. But the song doesn't want to carry that through. After listening to it carefully, I realized that this song was actually written about paparazzi. In the lyrics, not only Jay Chou's helpless love is revealed, but also allows everyone to see his humorous side of facing the media. The picture of the whole song is as compact as a 007 movie, symbolizing fame, fortune, and women's wrapping, which everyone wants. The main theme is always repeated: I can't go back, I can only keep going, and there is a rap in Korean. It was sung by Jay Chou's royal arranger Lin Michael, which was very creative.

In Du Xinghe's impression, only two of Jay Chou's songs have non-instrumental voices from beginning to end. One is the table tennis of "Three Years and Two Classes". The other song is the photo click of "Embattled". Obviously, such an arrangement came from the same person - Hong Jingyao. Camera clattering sounds. With Jay Chou's rap. Coupled with Jay Chou's sharp lyrics, it can only be described in one word: cool! This kind of cool is a kind of Cheng dù. Let's put it this way. At least he was deeply infected with Du Xinghe back then, before he became famous, did he know what expressions and movements he knew when he learned this song? He actually made up for himself that he was Jay Chou, and then sang and gestured. With a look of "you TM eat!" Emoji!

Back to the song itself, the arrangement of this song was once said to be plagiarized by a news report, and Jay Chou also specially explained it later. Say it's just string sample repetition. In this regard, Du Xinghe did not express his opinion. He remembered the news to say something else. remembers that Jay Chou not only clarified for himself back then, but also deliberately helped Wang Leehom clarify a large number of plagiarized negative news at that time. But many years later, when Wang Leehom came forward to support the buying of the list incident in Chou, Wang Yuzhi, who was the initiator of the incident, actually asked for leave and said that he was sick and did not attend. gave Dong Chou a deep knife...... Alas, this is character.

The following is the top 40 songs in Du Xinghe's mind.

He released Fang Yajun's 40th Dong Chou song in his heart - "Chrysanthemum Terrace".

……

You~'s tears~weak and wounded~

The miserable white moon bends ~ hooks the past ~

The night ~ too long ~ condensed into frost ~

Who is in the attic ~icy despair~

……

Rain ~ gently flick ~ vermilion window ~ I've been on paper all my life ~ blown by the wind ~

Dream ~ in the distance ~ turned into a wisp of incense ~ Drifting away in the wind ~ your appearance ~

……

Chrysanthemum remnants ~ bruises all over the ground ~ your smile has turned yellow ~

The flowers fall and people break their bowels~ I lie quietly in my heart~

The north wind is chaotic ~ the night is not yang ~ your shadow is constantly cut ~

Leave me alone on the surface of the lake ~in pairs~

……

The flowers ~ have fallen to the evening ~ and are brilliant ~

On the withered world~unbearable fate~

Sorrow ~ Mo Du Jiang ~ Autumn heart split in half ~

I'm afraid you won't be able to go ashore ~ shake for the rest of your life ~ ……

Who~'s rivers and mountains~ the sound of horses' hooves is crazy~

I'm dressed in a military uniform ~ whistling vicissitudes of life ~

The sky ~ slightly bright~ you sigh softly~

A night of melancholy ~ so tactful ~

……

Chrysanthemum remnants ~ bruises all over the ground ~ your smile has turned yellow ~

The flowers fall and people break their bowels~ I lie quietly in my heart~

The north wind is chaotic ~ the night is not yang ~ your shadow is constantly cut ~

Leave me alone on the surface of the lake ~in pairs~

……

Chrysanthemum remnants ~ bruises all over the ground ~ your smile has turned yellow ~

The flowers fall and people break their bowels~ I lie quietly in my heart~

The north wind is chaotic ~ the night is not yang ~ your shadow is constantly cut ~

Leave me alone on the surface of the lake ~in pairs~

……

Du Xinghe said to the intoxicated Fang Yajun: "In all Jay Chou's Chinese-style songs. "Chrysanthemum Terrace" is the most suitable for playing the guzheng. If you want to say that Jay Chou is not a chrysanthemum platform with reference to the unique vibrato Douyin spectrum of Guzheng, I don't believe it. There is basically a trills at the end of the whole tune of this song, especially the high-tide part, the chrysanthemums are broken, the ground is full of wounds, and your smile has turned yellow. Flowers fall into people's hearts...... And so on and so forth. It is completely done in the form of a guzheng. ”

It's more than just a great song. The word itself is good enough. "The heavenly incense array penetrates Chang'an, and the city is full of golden armor", which is the origin of the movie Golden Armor, as the theme song of the movie, the artistic conception expressed in this "Chrysanthemum Terrace" is far-reaching enough. adds a lot of points to the movie itself, chrysanthemums have two symbols since ancient times, one is missing, and the other is military costumes. The poem "Chrysanthemum Terrace" is also a good combination of the two. "Chrysanthemum remnants ~ wounds all over the ground ~ your smile has turned yellow ~" expression of thoughts, "whose country ~ the sound of horses' hooves is crazy ~ my uniform ~ whistling vicissitudes ~" is directly a portrayal of "the heavenly incense array penetrates Chang'an, and the city is full of golden armor".

The whole poem reveals a hazy beauty, and expresses the longing between the wife and the expeditionary general from the psychological vision of the couple. How can such a song not be a classic?

Of course, there is another big highlight of this song, that is, the sentence "Chrysanthemum remnants ~ full of wounds ~" will cause misunderstanding among many people......

Then, Du Xinghe released the 39th song in his heart to Fang Yajun - "Broken Strings"!

Du Xinghe sighed and said to the other party: "Many songs are about youth. It's all about memories. These memories may not be someone, not an event, but all of your past years. Do you remember being in a corner of the classroom, or lying in the school dormitory, or strolling through the greenery of the campus......

With headphones, I heard a sudden relieved laugh in my ears, and the laughter hovered halfway up the mountain, swaying and shaking with the wind. Come to your front and ......' Jay's half-humming and half-singing voice can suddenly pull Du Xinghe back to the sad and nostalgic feelings. These beautiful songs have been deeply embedded in his memory, like a portal. When the music plays, close your eyes, and when you open them again, you are already in a familiar campus. In that era, all the qiē were still so innocent, and you might be laughed at by your friends all day long for saying more to a certain girl, which is such an era. Jay Chou's humming love song swept almost the entire campus. "Ye Huimei" is followed by "Broken Strings" and "Trajectory". At that time, the fans were happy because they couldn't finish listening to good songs.

Fang Yajun saw that Du Xinghe's words were full of youthful memories, and said to Du Xinghe with a smile: "You are really a little adult. Even if you've been in the world of illusions for decades, you're still a young man, how can you be so nostalgic? ”

Du Xinghe smiled: "It's just that he looks young." My heart is not young anymore, I am already an old demon. Hehe. ”

Fang Yajun smiled heartily: "Then the two of us are just the opposite, my heart is young, and the person is an old demon, haha." ”

Du Xinghe glanced at Fang Yajun with a smile and said, "You're so self-deprecating, you're bored, your person is also very young, just like a little girl, where is the old demon?" ”

Fang Yajun was said by Du Xinghe, and suddenly her face turned red, and she was drunk?

Du Xinghe saw that Fang Yajun's expression was very girly, and he was a little shy, he had never seen Fang Yajun like this, and an idea was inexplicably born in his mind - those film and television characters with energy, when the male character shoots the female character, he will shoot the energy into the female character's body and be absorbed by the female character. Then if he and Fang Yajun were like that, could he transfer some of his energy to Fang Yajun? (To be continued......)
