In the recording studio.

Many people came on this day, because of someone.

Mark, Richard, Karen and the others stared at the other side of the glass window, where Alex was singing a song in front of the microphone.

Behind Alex are several Mexican-dressed accompanists, some playing the saxophone, some playing the small guitar, sounding like a Spanish bullfight, but a bit like the prelude to "The Phantom of the Opera."

In the rock songs of this era, there is no such strange prelude at all. But it sounds like it's indescribable.

They were surprised not by the tune of the song, but by Alex's lyrics: "My heart is paralyzed, my mind is in turmoil, and I should have taken a shortcut if I knew the way." You once said that it was fate, that the fault was all mine and that it had nothing to do with you, and that the breakup was for my sake. ”

"It's pretty chic, but if my friend asks where you're going, I'll say so, the plane she's on crashed. Scorched while sunbathing. Crash into a cement mixer filled with sediment. Help me! Help me! I've never been good at breaking up! She ran into a shark in the water. fell into the water, but no one could save her life. I returned all the souvenirs I bought for her. ”

"Help me! Help me! I can't make up a lie! Unable to figure out the cause of your death, my self-esteem still feels that sting. You have been everything to me, and one day I will find a beautiful woman like you! Maybe she'll feel like I'm her superman instead of a minivan. How can you leave me on Yom Kippur? It's very chic......"

Music producer Mark whispered to the Carpenter siblings outside, "What the hell is going on?" Alex broke up with Brigitte? And she proposed to break up? ”

Both Richard and Cullen shook their heads, saying they had no idea about it.

"Impossible! I also saw Alex having breakfast with Brigitte today! Richard was confused, too. I don't know what the song "50 Ways to Break Up" wants to express.

Judging by the lyrics alone, it's naturally clear. The male protagonist of this song was abandoned by his girlfriend, and as a result, he was not good at breaking up, so he had to pretend that he had not separated from his girlfriend yet, and told countless lies in order to explain to others. From these lyrics full of resentment, it can be seen that as a man, he is extremely reluctant to break up, but it seems to be different when it comes to Alex and Brigitte.

Logically speaking, if you want to say that the breakup should also be Alex getting rid of Brigitte. It doesn't make sense at all, it's the other way around.

In addition, the Carpenter siblings are not outsiders. Alex naturally knows a little about Brigitte. Obviously, a few hours ago, the two were still like glue, and it was difficult to separate. When I got to the recording studio, I became such a resentful woman. It's not at all true!

When Alex finishes singing the last note. Most of the people in the studio were stupid. I don't know what the real meaning of this song is.

Everyone here has watched the news, and they have also paid attention to the latest news reports.

Richard didn't wait for Alex to come out of the studio. He couldn't wait to ask, "Brother, what do you want to illustrate with this song?" Did you really break up with Brigitte? ”

This news is truly amazing!

Everyone couldn't help but prick up their ears, hoping to hear more clearly.

"Break up? No? ”

Alex looked at the people with some surprise, and suddenly understood what was going on, so he smiled and said, "How do you feel after listening to this song?" Any ideas? ”

Everyone shook their heads, and Mark scratched his head in annoyance and said, "Alex, this song of yours is completely different from the truth!" Looking at the lyrics, we seem to hear a man who is like an abandoned resentful woman, uttering all kinds of complaining curses! ”

"yes, I seem to understand, I don't seem to understand!"

"It's not a question of whether you understand the lyrics, but ...... I don't understand this at all......"

"Hey! You guys can do it, I'm completely confused! ”

Everyone talked about their feelings about this song, as if their original thoughts had been disturbed.

"Hahaha! Do not understand? Alex laughed, and he said, "That's right, that's what I want!" ”

Richard immediately asked, "What effect?" ”

Alex waved his hand and didn't explain further, instead asking his younger siblings to come in and record the other songs.

The song "50 Ways to Break Up" (50_Ways_To_Say_Goodbye) is just one of them, and Alex plans to find ABC TV to shoot the music video. Today, I just recorded the record first, and then I will find the MV actor and photographer when I have time.

One of the songs was played by the three Carpenter siblings, and this song was called "If I Died Young" (if_i_die_young). Like the song just now, its accompaniment is not at all like the popular rock music of today, which looks very offbeat, but it feels good.

Accompaniment instruments include guitar, piano, bass, mandolin, drums and accordion, and the mandolin is the most distinctive sound. It is a plucked stringed instrument with a bright and slender tone, which is similar to and closely related to the lute.

If a song is not accompanied by a suitable instrument, it will make the rendering power of the song much weaker. Other music writers, after composing the song, need to polish and refine the song step by step to turn it into beautiful music.

Only Alex doesn't, after all, his songs have long been formed in his mind, no matter what instrument is used, how to accompany the harmony, etc., these details have been perfected. There may be a song or two that needs to be changed with some lyrics or a little bit of instrumental variation, but basically the general framework doesn't need to be changed.

This kind of ability is also something that no one else can catch up with, and they can only think that Alex has already thought about every detail of the song in his head.

When Alex asks the mandolin to be brought out, Richard is immediately intrigued by the instrument.

What he saw was a very peculiarly shaped instrument, with a semi-pear-shaped body, a short neck, a neck band, and a sickle-shaped headstock that curved backwards.

"Mandolin, just let me come!" Richard shouted with joy that he had loved the instrument before.

The mandolin is a variant of the lute that originally evolved in the 18th century from the 16th-century mandora, a small harp.

The most well-known variant of the mandolin was produced in Naples. In the 19th century, the Italian mandolin maker P. Venuccia improved it and laid the modern style. Composers of the 18th and 19th centuries sometimes also wrote works for the mandolin. In Italy and the United States, the mandolin is primarily a folk instrument, and in the United States it is often used in country music along with guitars and banjos.

Richard was well aware of the various characteristics of the mandolin, and from the outside, the sound hole of the piano was oval. 4 sets of double strings are made of steel wire, and the fixed strings are the same as those of the violin, which are G, D1, A1, E2. Plucked with a plectrum. It is characterized by the need to play quickly and repeatedly, and the sound is continuous and bright in a tremolo manner.

"Okay!" Alex didn't rob his brother, he generously gave up the instrument. He turned to his sister and said, "Cullen as the lead singer, you can play the guitar, and I will play the accordion." ”

This song is also going to be made into a music video, Alex has already thought through all the details, and when the time comes, all the three of them need to do in front of the camera can do the action, and then the recorded music will be matched.

Although there are only three of them, there are actually some faceless accompanists, who, as inconsequential pawns, naturally have no need to appear. This is a Carpenter sibling group, and of course the camera is to focus on them.

It's a country piece of music, and the music has a somewhat original tune, but it still sounds quite suitable for Americans. Especially under the singing of Karen's voice that has not yet changed her voice, the artistic conception of this song has been improved a lot, and the appeal is much stronger than the original Perry brother and sister group.

In terms of technique, Alex's ability makes him far more skilled than the rest of the world, so whenever he releases a new style of song, he is always able to shock everyone. But in terms of emotional expression and dedication to singing songs, Alex is not as good as his younger siblings, after all, his mind is not completely focused on his singing career.

Sometimes, a singer's singing voice and singing skills are not important, the most important thing is the infectiousness. As long as it can touch the hearts of the listeners, then the singer is considered very successful.

There is an example in front of me, the ugly girl Jennis, who was picked up by Alex, she has little musical training and her singing voice is not outstanding, but she is able to project her emotions into the hearts of the listeners through songs.

Only such a singer can truly occupy a place in the history of music.

With Alex and Richard accompaniment, Cullen sings comfortably, fully expressing the emotions in her heart with lyrics.

Hear her sing, "If I die young, bury me in silk." Let me lie on a bed covered with roses, and sink me into the river at dawn. See me off with words from love songs. ”

"Lord, please let me be a rainbow, I want to shine on my mother! When she stands under my colors, she will know that I am so safe with you. Life wasn't always as bleak as you might expect, even though she buried her children. The sharp blade of life! I've lived long enough......"

Listening to her singing, people seem to see a girl in the prime of her youth, step by step towards the sunset in the west. She sang and danced among the flowers, slowly immersed in the cold and gloomy world.

This is a hymn to youth and a lament for the transience of life.

Although the name of the song is slightly sad, the lyrics are quite romantic: "If I die in my youth, please wrap me in silk, put me in a bed of roses, sink me into the river at sunset, and see me off with a poem of love ......" (to be continued......
