"Your arrangement idea is very interesting, adapting the first half of the song into Chinese, softening some Chinese tunes, and then wanting to integrate rap into the song so that everyone can accept it."

"Yay! Brothers! I am...... Think so! Seeing that Du Xinghe fully understood his intentions, James was even more excited, and he wanted to hug Du Xinghe!

Du Xinghe poured cold water on James: "But it's not very appropriate for you to use Rap in "My Kentucky Hometown". This completely destroys the beauty of this folk song. ”

James was stunned when he heard this, and his two thick eyebrows were all wrinkled, could it be that this brother in front of him didn't like his Rap either? It seems that no Chinese like Rap!

Lu Qin actually didn't quite understand what the real singing of Rap was, but listening to Du Xinghe's meaning, it seemed that this James had changed it very badly, so he said to Du Xinghe: "My dear, can you change this black brother better?" Make this song more cheerful and suitable for this concert. ”

Du Xinghe was very uncomfortable being called by Lu Qin, calling him "dear" in front of so many people, this genius woman's face is really thick enough!

Fortunately, his attention is now focused on music, otherwise he would have to lose two pounds of goosebumps!

Xu Jingwei also hoped that Du Xinghe could give this song a makeover, and couldn't help but look at Du Xinghe expectantly.

Du Xinghe said: "This song can't be changed into a cheerful form, because it itself expresses a simple feeling, if it is changed to a cheerful song, the taste of this song will change completely." ”

When everyone heard Du Xinghe say this, their brows furrowed slightly. They really can't accept this so-called classic American folk song, and it is so inappropriate to put such a song in a concert like Christmas Eve!

Seeing that Xu Jingwei was very embarrassed, Du Xinghe suggested to her: "If this song can't be changed, you can only sing a short part, and let James change the form of Rap and pick up another hot song, so that the atmosphere can be held up." Of course, the following hot songs must have equal feelings. It is necessary to have the idea of breaking down the concept of race. This can better bring out the feelings of the previous song. That way, the school won't have a problem with you. ”

Du Xinghe said while thinking about what songs to pick up for these students, in this plane of Chinese music, except for some non-mainstream rock bands, the mainstream music shijie has not yet appeared any particularly popular anti-racial discrimination songs. So he naturally popped up the classic "Glory Years" from the previous plane Beyond in his mind.

However, after careful consideration. He also felt that this song was not very suitable for such a sung party. If the people listening to the song are all Chinese students. Then let them listen to this song, no problem, this song will definitely infect these students. After all. None of you have experienced racism firsthand, so you don't know what it's like.

Beyond has never faced the racial problem themselves, so they wrote such a song from the perspective of a bystander, which can naturally infect Chinese people who look at racial issues as a bystander.

This is also the talent of Beyond, or Huang Jiaju. He has always been able to express his feelings strongly into his music, so that those young people who have dreams in their hearts and want to pursue freedom have a strong resonance, and then they are conquered by their music.

Most people who like Beyond music like the uncompromising attitude of pursuing freedom and ideals in their music, but in fact, the band Beyond has already compromised a lot with the mainstream music scene, which is why they came later.

Anyone who has listened to Beyond's early music knows that the early Beyond music style was much "harder" than later, and Huang Jiaju at that time absolutely disdained to write love songs like "Like You" that catered to the public's taste.

However, for talented people, compromise does not necessarily mean regression and constraints, and it is a success in itself to make more mainstream people feel and accept what they have in mind.

The ideal pursued by Du Xinghe is to use his singing voice to move the world, so that the world can draw positive xiangshang liliang from music, just like Huang Jiaju, so he admires Huang Jiaju very much.

But when it comes to this song "Glory Days", it is not suitable for singing in front of foreigners, especially in front of black people.

The core idea of this song is to celebrate a feeling of pursuing equality and freedom, but it is celebrated from the perspective of a Chinese.

Black brothers who understand Chinese don't have to listen to it at all, and when they hear "the meaning of black skin to him, it is a lifetime of dedication, and the skin color is in the struggle", they will be angry directly!

This lyric, regardless of whether it is a praise of black leaders, ordinary black brothers will definitely feel very harsh when they hear it! You may even feel that this in itself is a kind of racism!

Why does black skin mean to them is a skin color struggle? Still dedicating your life to the fight against skin color?

Is there any difference between dark skin and other skin colors?

Weishenme wants to look at them differently?

A black man like James, who has already lived in a free shijie, if he doesn't understand the situation, he will be very uncomfortable when he hears this song at first glance!

It's like saying that yellow people, you are born different from others, you are born to struggle! How can the Chinese be happy when they hear it?

Musicians who really have a deep understanding of racial discrimination will never write songs that call for racial equality, and they will never list a certain color person.

Just like "Love-is-color-blind", it means that black, white, yellow, red and any skin color is the same, and love has no boundaries.

There is also the more classic Michael Jackson's "Black-Or-White", which also says that all beings are equal, and black and white do not matter.

Du Xinghe actually wanted to give James a song called "Black-Or-White", which has a brisk tempo and is very different from the traditional songs that deal with racial issues seriously. If you sing such a song at a concert, you will definitely be able to sing it all over the audience!

It's a pity that James's voice is too thick to sing MJ's songs, he sings it himself, and asks James to say the Rap in the middle of "Black-Or-White", which will definitely surprise the students of Su University!

But this is also to think about it, this is a student concert of Su University, there is no need for him to use such a classic song to mix with others.

It's better to think of another song for James. (To be continued......)
