"Three Years and Two Classes" is a rap song with a slightly weird flavor, which is unique and full of charm in terms of lyrics, style, melody and soundtrack.

This song writes the questions and hearts of many people when they were young, and the whole song makes people have an indescribable feeling, which evokes many memories for listeners.

With his unique creativity, Jay Chou uses the sound of table tennis balls to beat throughout the song. It's amazing, and the lyrics sing from the perspective of a student about the repressed attitude that has been in my heart for a long time.

This song is slightly funny and frivolous in the sound effect of table tennis, but if you listen carefully, you will find that this song is not funny at all, this is Jay Chou's most complicated song, in terms of music. There is a brisk campus rap like "My Territory" later, and there is a mixed harmony of singing and rap like "Grandpa's Tea". In terms of words, Fang Wenshan was not lazy at all this time, and directly spoke at length. The two paragraphs are completely different, two artistic conceptions.

In terms of arrangement, this song has a bell after class and a ping-pong ball. In terms of concept, the sports theme that seems to be small and big is small and big, and it tells a question that everyone asks from childhood to adulthood: "How strong is this first place?" Is it possible not to have this award? ”

It would be an exaggeration to say that this song is Jay Chou's most complicated song. However, how such a song integrates these needs to be explained in detail.

Starting from the arrangement, the arranger of this song, Hong Jingyao, is a master, where is the master, most people think that the more complex the arrangement, the more it can reflect the skills of an arranger master, but in fact, it is not.

There is a very strange thing hidden behind the seemingly complicated sound effects of "Three Years and Two Classes", the alarm clock at the beginning, the class bell. Ping Pong pong, after which the string notes begin. Keep listening, just listen to the strings, listen to the whole song, and you'll see that the whole song repeats this string, and it keeps repeating. Except for the high-tide part, there is almost a melody to the end. And then what's even weirder is, why is such repetition not easy to spot? Because since such a melody matches every song from beginning to end, why did you choose such a melody, is it a coincidence? Apparently not.

How many people have cried or heard a sad atmosphere in this song? Presumably, there are not a few. A good piece of work resonates. It's this string that creates this sad atmosphere in this song. The arranger keeps repeating that there is no other intention, which is to tell you that this song is not funny at all. To simplify the complex, far-reaching intentions are the actions of the masters.

In addition, the focus is on the sound effect of table tennis, this is not added for fun, 3 minutes and 10 seconds "not funny, not funny" after the arrangement is the essence of the whole song, the duel between strings and table tennis is to the extreme, at this time every hit of the table tennis ball is just right, until the end. This must be a work that Master Hong is very proud of.

Let's talk about words, why did Jay Chou write "Terraces" by himself, because Fang Wenshan was not lazy in "Three Years and Two Classes". This song is still complicated in the lyrics, from the beginning of the campus writing, Fang Wenshan wrote more and more can't be contained, wrote the classroom, and wrote to the playground, wrote to the exam, wrote to play table tennis, from the game to the competition, and finally wrote to the theme, Fang Wenshan wrote a few strokes, directly expressing the theme, but how many listeners were left to think deeply, "Three Years and Two Classes" is Jay Chou's rare song with deep philosophy, it tells us, the first is not the first is not important at all, this first place award does not have to care too much, its own strength is more important than anything else, Be your own referee.

I thought that Brother Wenshan should be put away when he wrote this, but the song is not over yet, "Go to the countryside, look for the fragrance of flowers in the carriage, fly in the direction of the south, and think carefully through this alley, this kind of life is peaceful" If you are tired of the competition in the city, it is better to get out, carry your backpack, and look for that wisp of flowers.

The arrangement and lyrics are excellent enough, Jay Chou's song is the finale again, and Rap has achieved the ultimate, which is extremely beautiful. The melody sung by the high-tide part is also particularly catchy. In particular, after 3 minutes and 54 seconds, rapping and singing are staggered, and listening to it can make people's ears pregnant. Especially at 3 minutes and 10 seconds, I don't know if "It's not funny, it's not funny" was sung by Jay Chou temporarily, it's just too smart. The depth of the whole song immediately went up a notch.

Listening to this song, Du Xinghe couldn't help but think of the college entrance examination era he had experienced, alas. I have become a sigh of confusion, and I don't look back.

Keep playing the song.

The 23rd place in Du Xinghe's heart is "The Little Blacksmith of Milan" -

……

Ran all over the pasture and around the village~

He was standing at the old newsstand on the corner~

Keep your eyes on the window next door~

A guitar is appreciated from afar~

……

Charcoal ~ a basket ~

Charcoal ~ put it all the time ~

Charcoal ~ half left~

The little blacksmith on the stove saves money to buy expectations~

Sweating ~

……

Next to the street of Baroque buildings~

A smoky tavern~

Polish bards playing and singing~

The little blacksmith is outside the door~

I can't get in in distress~

His copper plate is still too little~

……

He really, really wants to know~

(That folk chord from Eastern Europe~)

(What the hell is the tune~)

The sky in Milan has just broken break~

(Looking for horses and tellurium iron~)

(How many guitars do you have to hit to buy~)

He really, really wants to know~

(He doesn't know what to do so he can't sleep~)

He broke that flutter~

(A small wish is about to come true, he is laughing~)

Du Xinghe told Sù Fang Yajun: "This song is full of exotic notes in the fast version, which will quickly and smoothly lead you into an Eastern European fairy tale, and the notes are telling the story of a little blacksmith who works hard because he longs to own a guitar." ”

Fang Yajun listened and smiled, the taste of this song is indeed amazing.

The song is actually not very famous. It is a work in "Octave Space", but in Du Xinghe's view, this is a very high-end musical sketch, a ballad full of exotic flavors.

Although Jay Chou has a lot of popular songs, there are actually many unpopular works, and this song should be regarded as an unpopular song.

Let's talk about the arrangement of this song first, the arrangement of Jay Chou's song can always indicate the style of the whole song at the first sound, starting from the first note, this is not just a musical feast. It is also a visual feast, Du Xinghe likes this kind of live arrangement, which is very intriguing.

The opening of this song "The Little Blacksmith of Milan" is slightly high-end, and then it suddenly turns to hip-hop electronic music, the guitar is embellished from time to time, in short, it is all kinds of joy, and it is a very exotic style when you listen to it, and you will come to the small town of Milan all of a sudden. There can still be a happy sheep bleating in your ears, and there must be a large green grassland outside the town. Continue to stroll through the town square, there is a small shop selling guitars, the sound of the door closing attracts you (2 min 35 seconds), there is a Polish poet playing guitar at the door, listen to this guitar solo, the later imitator is: Prague. pirates, videotapes, and more. Everyone stopped and gave applause, and moving on, you see the figure of the little blacksmith, who looks at the guitar inside. The eyes reveal yearning. End of story. Very complete and orderly.

Let's talk about words. It's uncertain whether Fang Wenshan has ever been to the small town of Milan, but Fang Wenshan must have pictures, pastures, villages, old newsstands on street corners, shop windows, baroque streets, smoky taverns, Polish troubadours playing and singing, a few simple sentences sketch a scene of a small Milan town. It's immersive.

In addition, look at the story, it's just so inspirational, a little blacksmith who wants to buy a guitar, wood has money, what to do, strike iron. How did Fang Wenshan describe this paragraph: "A basket of charcoal, the charcoal has been placed, and half of the charcoal is left. The stove is hot, and the little blacksmith saves money to buy expectations. In sweating" I wrote alive completely. The lyrics of this song are very, very short, but they are very subtle, and every line is infinitely imaginative. I have to say that it is no accident that Fang Wenshan came to prominence, he is a genius like Jay Chou!

Of course, the best thing about this song is still the song, and this song should not be unpopular. Octave Space is a neglected album. But in fact, the standard of "Octave Space" is very high. At least Du Xinghe prefers "Octave", and not winning the Golden Melody Award that year is simply the biggest joke in the history of the Golden Melody Awards.

Except for the title song "The Last Battle", the first song "Half Orc" and the commercial song "Dragon Fist", which are a little mediocre compared to the mythology of "Fantesi", the other songs of "Octave" are all masterpieces. Du Xinghe didn't know how many times he cycled back then, but he learned a lot of things.

Jay Chou's half-humming and half-singing voice is the most perfect and the most aura in "Octave Space". This song "The Little Blacksmith of Milan" is almost impossible to copy.

Next. Du Xinghe released the 22nd ranked "Bell in the Opposite Direction" to Fang Yajun -

"The Bell in the Opposite Direction" is the tenth song in Jay Chou's first music album "JAY", composed by Jay Chou, written by Fang Wenshan, and directed by Kwong Sheng MV, it is the only song in the album that does not have a Western flavor, the prelude and the addition of the native transcription ㄅㄆㄇㄈ, except for the feeling of adding a sonata in the B section to change some chords, the whole song is only completed with 3 chords, which has both the taste of oriental melancholy.

The previous "The Little Blacksmith of Milan" was full of aura. This "Bell in the Opposite Direction" is a masterpiece of genius.

The songs of Jay Chou's first album are worth recalling repeatedly, only this album Jay Chou is completely his own ideas, imaginative, there is no reference, and all qiē starts from 0. Every sentence Jay Chou sings is creating zào, which is very difficult.

You are not famous, it's not that you don't have a burden, in fact, the burden is even greater, the dream is right in front of you, whether Jay Chou will grasp it well, no one can evaluate, Jay Chou's whimsical singing and singing on the first album, whether it is carefully designed or done at random. No one knows, but the clues to this can be glimpsed from "The Bell in the Opposite Direction".

What do the first two lines of this song sing? Who has sung like this before in the Chinese music scene? BO/PO/MO/FO/DE/TE/NE/LE?Don't blame Fang Wenshan, this is simply Jay Chou's own random addition, Fang Wenshan should be speechless, right? He didn't want to get the best lyrics every time.

It is said that Jay Chou added rap again at the end of this song, and the lyrics were also hummed casually, Fang Wenshan couldn't sit still, so he almost knelt down. Brother, it's okay if you add it. Don't add words randomly, will I rewrite the lyrics of the song you added? Jay Chou didn't agree, this is all sung, what else to add.

After Fang Wenshan's repeated requests, Jay Chou agreed to sing the latter paragraph again and use new words. But Fang Wenshan also had times when he was toyed with. For example, the bullfight that suddenly popped up behind "Castle William", I don't know whether Fang Wenshan, who won the Golden Melody Award for Best Lyricist again because of this song, should cry or laugh.

Jay Chou was already so whimsical in the first album recording, and for example, the large section of "Jay Chou, Jay Chou, Jay Chou" in "Perfectionism", these only show one thing, Jay Chou's inspiration at the beginning of the road has been uncontrollable. is like a spring, and I can't even stop singing it.

Back to the song "The Bell in the Opposite Direction" itself. The whole song starts with a very simple melody, which is basically repeated all the time, and the whole song is only 3 chords to the end. The next few sentences are obvious R&B style.

Jay Chou's R&B, and Tao Zhe Wang Leehom's orthodox style is still very different, first of all, Jay Chou basically doesn't read the words, and he doesn't read it when he sings, he basically only has his own song in his head, the broken sentences of the lyrics are very messy, and the transposition is also very arbitrary. Second, Jay Chou's vague humming has blurred the obvious transposition of R&B, which is very good, compared with the mistakes of "Flower Field", Leehom Wang's ABC singing pronunciation is very accurate, "I made a mistake in the flower field, say okay ~ forget before dawn ~ " Every pronunciation is very accurate and orthodox. But Jay Chou is more casual, and the casual humming is actually more compatible with the arrangement, and the spit out seems to be part of the arrangement, and the transposition part is also vague, but it has an unexpected effect. Jay Chou's flexible use of repetition, pitch change, true and false voice conversion and other means completely subverted the rules of Chinese pronunciation, replaced the tone of the lyrics themselves with melody and beat, broke the limitations of Chinese in melody, and made R&B truly free and unrestrained in the Chinese music scene.

Back to the rap at the end of this song, this is also the most successful place that Jay Chou has done, Jay Chou's rap is never monotonous in the biting of words, such as a lot of singing rap, hot dogs, the bite is clear and easy for people to accept for the first time, because the sense of rhythm is very clear, but at the same time, the disadvantage of being very strict is the listening resistance. There is only rhythm and no melody. The gap between single-core CPUs and dual-core CPUs is still obvious.

Jay Chou is a groundbreaking figure who pays attention to rhythm and arrangement. As a result, it has brought about a dual-core drive of rhythm + melody in the record industry, and no one expected that after a few years, Jay Chou's music will become mainstream from a niche, which is a genius. You can question him, but you can't deny him.

After enjoying "The Bell in the Opposite Direction", Du Xinghe released another classic full of memories to Fang Yajun, "Simple Love", which ranked 21st in his heart!
