Chapter 829 - Chou Dong Music Ranking (12)

Ranked 16th in Du Xinghe's heart, it can be said that it is the coldest blooming song of the last music emperor, a flash of fireworks in the later period of Chou Dong, and the last carnival of new and old fans dancing together.

This song is one that has convinced many newcomers - "Fireworks Are Easy to Cold"!

Du Xinghe sighed and said to Fang Yajun: "This song "Fireworks Are Easy to Cold", the lyrics are classical and beautiful, and the artistic conception is far-reaching. The song is set in Luoyang City of the Northern Wei Dynasty, with strong classical meaning, beautiful melody and deep sense of history. This song sings a question about the vicissitudes of history, the rise and fall of history. Let people listen to the ancient pictures that emerge in front of their eyes: stupas are lined up, and they are empty in an instant; The sword and the sword, the vicissitudes of life. And this qiē once happened in Luoyang, where I live every day. I am saddened by its decay in the past, but I am also proud of its prosperity today......"

Fang Yajun listened to Du Xinghe's emotion, and thought that this song must have been written by Du Xinghe. was plagiarized by the Zhang family, otherwise Du Xinghe would not have such a deep emotion.

And Du Xinghe knows his own affairs, and this song "Fireworks Are Easy to Cold" gave him a deep shock. It can be said responsibly that this song has exploded in his plane, at least in the later stage, it can be regarded as an unparalleled hit of Jay Chou's songs. Back then, Tieba used this song to make headlines like never before. Various post bars, major forums, such as Douban Tianya. Major music websites, such as Haoting.com, which has long been closed, have all made headlines about this song.

At that time, the number of comments on this song on a small website like Haoting.com once exceeded 10,000, and it was emptied several times because it grew too fast. It would have been impossible for a long time now.

I remember that this song was first leaked on the Internet, in the middle of the night, and the song was still called "Garan Temple" at that time. From the first minute of the leak, the Internet exploded. Almost all of the big stickers are discussed. Countless people are cycling singles while commenting, and they are even respected as magic songs in Tianya. Countless old and new Jay fans are on their knees.

In the album "Cross Era", where this song is located. Two Chinese-style songs appeared, "Rain All Night" and "Fireworks Are Easy to Cold". All of them are of unprecedented quality. Which of these two songs is stronger or weaker, Du Xinghe personally thinks that "Fireworks Are Easy to Cold" is better. "All Night in the Rain" is a folk music arrangement that spans the ages. But what about "Fireworks"? Without using any kind of classical Chinese folk music, it has reached the height of artistic conception. No matter how difficult a song is, it is nothing more than the use of instruments, tunes and lyrics in the arrangement. But the artistic conception is really imitative, and it can't be piled up. When everyone began to use classical folk music to accumulate artistic conception, Jay Chou's team has begun to break away from folk music and only rely on Western instruments and voices to create a Chinese-style artistic conception, high, really high. This is much more daring and difficult than the idea of "All Night in the Rain".

I remember when this song first came out. There are actually many people who say that the arrangement is weak, and Du Xinghe is speechless about this, he never debates with the music blind, because it is meaningless.

Huang Yuxun Huang has more than half of Master Huang's rare aura and talent to "Fireworks". With a few simple guitar notes and crisp piano notes in the prelude, the artistic conception of Chinese style immediately comes out, which is more fresh and refined than the artistic conception accumulated with folk music, clean but exciting.

The whole song is basically a combination of guitar and piano, and the drum kit is added in the back. The instrumental notes of the whole song are very, very clean, every note is intoxicating, and the scattered piano notes are like raindrops on a jade plate.

Of course, I have to mention the most successful instrument in the whole song, Jay Chou's singing voice. The best thing Jay Chou plays is the fusion of timbre and arrangement, Jay Chou is the only one in this regard, and no second person has such talent. It is said that Jay Chou's songs are not good to sing, that is, of course, every part of Jay Chou is a whole, and every part is sacrificed to support the atmosphere.

And what is the artistic conception of "Fireworks Are Easy to Cold"? This has to start with the words.

When "Fireworks Are Easy to Cold" was first leaked. The name is "Jialan Temple", and this poem is the inspiration of Fang Wenshan from "Luoyang Jialan Ji". During the period of Emperor Wen of the Song Dynasty, a general who guarded the city was ordered to garrison Luoyang City, during which he met a local woman. At this time, the Northern Wei Dynasty came to attack. The general was ordered to go on the expedition, and when he parted, he took the woman's hand: "When I win, I will definitely come back to marry you......" The two parted with each other, and the woman stood at the gate of the city, watching the general sit on the saddle and leave without looking back...... The general's expedition was a few months, during which Liu Song was defeated and retreated, Emperor Wen of Song was angry and beheaded two generals in a row, and the Northern Wei Dynasty attacked on all fronts. Forcibly crossing the Yellow River, Emperor Wen of Song did not listen to the words of the courtiers and launched a strong attack, but Luoyang was lost. Emperor Wen of Song had no choice but to withdraw his troops, while the seriously wounded general was left in exile.

After the general recovered from his injuries, he wanted to return to the court, but at this time Liu Song was gone. There is only one way to go back. Death, the general has never been afraid. But thinking of the oath he had made, and the indiscriminate killing of good generals by Emperor Wen of Song had become chilling, in desperation, he committed himself to another country, hoping that one day he would return to her side after the war of the past. They spared the gates of the city. There was a woman who used to sit on a stone slab and wait for her beloved to return. Whenever she met someone returning from the front, the woman asked if she had seen the general, but there was no news of the general's victorious return. The woman never gave up and still waited day after day. After another few decades, the woman finally struggled to meet the generals. Hair loss for Ni.

This story, one by ten, ten by hundred, finally reached the ears of the general. But the general can't go back, at this time the Northern Wei Dynasty has moved the capital to Luoyang, this is an indisputable fact, the war between the North and the South is still going on,

He had to live until the day the war ended...... I don't know how many years, the war finally ended. For the first time, the general returned to the place where he had been thinking about it day and night. Dressed as a commoner, he came to the dilapidated and mottled gates, and he walked to where they had been, and beside the great tree that had long since withered, he touched the stone slab on which she had sat every day as she waited for his return...... On the outskirts of the city, the graceful sound of the shepherd's flute sounded, and passers-by told General Sù that there had been a woman here who had been waiting for her beloved's return...... Stepping foot on the familiar land again, the feeling in his heart was so complicated, as if he had returned to the time when he envied others...... He searched for her in the ruined city, but he couldn't find her, and the rain fell from the sky...... He believed she had been waiting for him...... The old man in the lonely city sued him that she had always been alone...... Until the day he died......

This is the story told by the song "Fireworks Are Easy to Cold", poignant, sad, sad, sad, and sorrowful, which is the artistic conception of this song. Lin Zhixuan's cover of "Fireworks Are Easy to Cold" is a masterpiece, nothing more. It can only be said that compared with Jay Chou's original version, it is more than a few grades worse. What's the difference? Artistic conception. Jay Chou's version has nothing to do with singing skills, back to what I said at the beginning, Jay Chou is very good at playing with his own timbre, how to better match the artistic conception of the lyrics, he has ideas, there are thoughts, not simple singing skills, this is not a level of things. The first attraction of this song was precisely Jay Chou's timbre, cold and complaining, I have to admire Jay Chou's musical talent, which is really not comparable to a singer with good singing skills. Jay Chou's ethereal and cold voice is eloquent, making people deeply immersed in the story and unable to extricate themselves, which is why this song is called a magic song, and it was even banned for a time.

Let's talk about the song again.

Insert a digression memory, when Du Xinghe once walked in the West Lake of Huizhou, the weeping willows on the shore were rows, the green trees were shady, the breeze was slow, the lake was sparkling, and the tourists stepped on the boat leisurely, he couldn't help humming up and admiring the band's "West Lake", "Sailing into the three pools and playing in the lake...... with headphones, while listening to this song, while enjoying the scenery, that feeling is just one word, cool!

Why does Du Xinghe recall the painful admiration of "West Lake", because this song is also very meaningful, and it is two different artistic conceptions, the first half of the song is written in song, which makes people happy, and the second half of the inexplicable screaming I have not understood before, at that moment Du Xinghe understood, the second half is to write love with songs, "There is no longer a nostalgic sunset, no more reflected moon, no more intoxicating warm wind, dissipated in the clouds and smoke in a blink of an eye" There is also a divine interlude in the middle that makes the ears linger, and the visitors are about to leave the West Lake, Or the nostalgia and sadness of leaving the journey to the fullest. The song of West Lake is written by the lead singer Gao Hu after going to West Lake, a good music must be far-reaching, Gao Hu himself said, it is said that there is heaven and there is Suzhou and Hangzhou. Really saw the West Lake. There is still a hint of regret...... There are not many masters who can change the artistic conception to make music. And Jay Chou is one of them.

Jay Chou's writing of music is definitely not as casual as everyone imagines, but just deliberately casual expression, doesn't he use his brain? Genius is nothing more than brain cells in a certain field that are more developed than ordinary people, and the song of "Fireworks Are Easy to Cold" is perfect, just like the story told by this song, without the slightest sense of disobedience. This is a high degree of integration with the word. is the cleverness of a master like Jay Chou. Removing the lyrics, removing the arrangement, and even removing the singing, you can completely know the subtlety of this tune, and this piece alone is enough to rank in this position. Have you ever heard of the guzheng version of "Fireworks Are Easy to Cold"? As long as you listen to it, you will understand, because that song can bring people into the story.

Du Xinghe couldn't help but hum when he heard it, and after a long time of intoxication, he continued to play the song to Fang Yajun.

The 15th in his heart. It is another masterpiece in "Octave Space", "Split"!

……

Ride on my motorcycle~Carry you away slowly~

If you can't get into a good school~You can leave without smiling~

Give me your hand slowly ~ let go of the confusion in your heart ~ Raindrops swept through both sides ~ cut through the two spirits of me ~

After the old man's house ~ the basket becomes so high ~ The tree that I climbed ~ and when did it become small ~ That's fine~No one noticed me at first~

Before the rain gets stronger~we'll be weak~

……

I didn't notice it in time~Let me take you away~

There is no proof ~ no emptiness ~

Based on two positions, I will cover you~

I didn't notice it in time~Let me take you away~

It's not stubbornness ~ it's not evasion ~

No one is tying you to go~You're happy~

Jay Chou described his spiritual rite of passage in "Split". The first stanza begins with a description of the process of "leaving" after failing the university entrance exam, as well as memories of past lives – symbolizing the transition from childhood to adulthood. "I" and "you" are used in the lyrics, but both narrative subjects refer to the author himself, as a symbol of spiritual contradictions. As a strong "I" has decided to "leave", "you" are reluctant. Piano, violin, and cello are mainly used in music. There is no rap.

In Du Xinghe's view, "Split" is one of the few lyrics and songs created by Jay Chou. In the early days, the quality of the songs written by Jay Chou was surprisingly high, in fact, the reason is also very understandable, and the singer can better express his true feelings by writing the lyrics himself. "Split" is exactly that.

To analyze this song, you should start with the title of the song. When the mainland reviewed the title of the song, in order to avoid secrecy, the song was forced to be renamed "Leave", which also discounted the connotation of the song. Even today, some people think that it is just a simple love song, but it is not. The correct understanding should be schizophrenia.

This song is a rare heartfelt work in Jay Chou's works, writing about the true feelings of Jay Chou in the lowest period of his life, Qu Yuan wrote "Lisao" when he was frustrated, Li Taibai wrote "Will Enter the Wine" after being demoted, and Pu Songling wrote "Liao Zhai" after falling off the list several times. Equally. Jay Chou was repeatedly frustrated in the most important college entrance examination in his life, and the song Split is to describe the feelings of that period. The title of the song, which does not appear in the lyrics from beginning to end, directly describes the mood and state of most of the students at that time, which makes people empathize.

I believe that many people complain about the words of this song, and feel inexplicable, I don't know what to do, and Yan zhòng has affected the tune, but everyone who understands understands the lyrics of this song-

"Ride on my motorcycle~

Carry you away slowly~

A good school that you can't get into~

You can leave without smiling~"

Sitting on my motorcycle, who sitting? The following sentence gives the answer, "you". Who are you? In fact, there is no one else, just Jay Chou himself, and schizophrenic patients often have two personalities. Here you represent another personality. Leave slowly, where to leave? The following sentence is very straightforward, if you can't get into a good school, you can leave without smiling. This lyric once made many people feel heartache at that stage of life.

"Give me your hand slowly~

Let go of the confusion in your heart~

Raindrops swept through both sides~"

At this time, the psychological state of "you", that is, another personality, is confused, presumably this personality is carrying a schoolbag. Looking forward to the future, I was so talented in music that I didn't get into college because I failed other subjects, and faced with failure and despair, can I really just smile and leave? The personality of the motorcycle rider should be the personality that pretends to be chic and does not mind being frustrated, reassuring the other self and getting in the car, at this time, the rain begins to fall. Do you have the feeling that "life must be happy"? When Li Bai wrote this sentence, I believe that there must be a personality who is confused. Do you really not care about officialdom and fame?

"I cut through the two spirits~"

This sentence question, there is no need to analyze it in depth, Jay Chou clearly told you, this is me who separates the two spirits. Two personalities.

"Passing by the old man's house~

The basket becomes so high~

The tree that I climbed over~

When will it become small~"

Jay Chou's talent is not only musical, if it is an ordinary person, he must not be able to describe the artistic conception in the lyrics, the artistic conception of the very middle age.

As people grow up, their outlook on life matures. Did you find out? When I was a child, I felt that the basket was very high, slowly. You find that even the old tree that you used to climb has become dwarf.

"That's fine~

At first, no one noticed me~

Wait until the rain gets stronger~

We will divide the weak~"

We are always burdened with too many hopes from our parents, and the pressure from all sides makes us unable to face the college entrance examination in our childhood, I really don't want to be noticed, I don't want to be stressed. After the exam, it's easy, what about failure, there is no pressure, no one pays attention anymore.

"Take advantage of the time to let me take you away~

There is no proof, there is no emptiness~

Based on two positions, I will cover you~

Take advantage of the time to let me take you away~

It's not stubbornness, it's not an escape~

No one is tied up to walk away to be happy~"

Very empathetic feeling. Hope in despair, strength in despair. It's just a failed exam. There is no need for proof, there is no emptiness, and the strong self pulls the fallen self and leaves. It's not an escape, it's the inner self that is strong, and no one will be happy when no one ties it up. Split into two personalities, one is oppressed by ruthless exams, the other yearns for freedom and ideals, and in the end, the latter pulls up the former to meet the future. Everyone knows the story later, Jay Chou, who brushed the plate in the restaurant for two years, was not buried in the end, and from the beginning of two thousand years, the Chinese music scene ushered in the era of Jay Chou.

In addition, in fact, in addition to the lyrics, the arrangement and music of this song are equally excellent, and it has even broken through the artistic conception and entered the stage of going to the heart. It is said that "Octave" is slightly decadent, and there is nothing more decadent than "Split", and many people should not be the end of the college entrance examination when they are fans of this song, so it will not be too low. But if someone really says that they failed the college entrance examination and cried listening to this song, then the credibility should be average, why do you say that, everyone who has experienced that stage knows that after the college entrance examination is over, people are crazy, regardless of success or failure, people who succeed naturally don't need to say, people who fail believe that shit-like mood is not free or in the mood to listen to such a decadent to death work. On the contrary, it is precisely the entire third year of high school until the eve of the college entrance examination that many people will be fascinated by this song, maybe people need emotional catharsis and sustenance when facing great pressure and tests. It was during that time that the split became the spiritual sustenance of people, but it should not be decadent, and there is also a positive message in the decadence that allows people to find motivation in it.

Returning to the tune of this song, it is difficult to explain the depth of this song with artistic conception alone, and the sense of decadence and division that I always listen to goes deep into the bone marrow. It's not supernatural, so we need to look at the music and the arrangement to find the reason. The lyrics are naturally part of it. The piano accompaniment at the beginning got off to a good start, and immediately, the cello entered, and the love was affected all of a sudden, the drum kit was also very low, Jay Chou's decadent voice to death was sentence by sentence, and the middle was basically strings and drums. It's an indescribable feeling, it doesn't sound very special, but it gets stronger after many cycles. It is a painful sense of resonance, and it feels like every cell is infected by this feeling. At this time, the simpler the arrangement, the better, just like "Black Humor", only Jay Chou's neurotic screams remain. The interlude cello joins again, becoming more and more gray, Jay Chou's deliberately vicissitudes of voice in order to match the atmosphere of the cello, and at the end of the piano, a qiē looks so depressing. (To be continued......)
