Chapter 619 "Rice Fragrance"(2/3)
The flexible use and clever combination of musical instruments are vividly demonstrated.
To be honest, in the opinion of the three of them, whether it is the name "Paddy Field" or "Daoxiang", at first glance, it seems to be a bit rustic, and it should be a song title that is not very popular among young people.
However, as soon as Luo Mo started singing "Daoxiang", they were stunned.
"[If you have too many complaints about this world,
If you fall, you don’t dare to move forward.
Why do people have to be so fragile and depraved?]"
"What kind of style is this?" Meng Donghua asked in confusion: "Hip-hop plus folk songs?"
The music style of "Daoxiang" is indeed hip-hop mixed with folk songs, and there is also a very typical Zhou-style rap style in it.
In recent years, [Hip-Hop] can be said to be a sudden rise.
But the lyrics mostly revolve around money, cars, and girls...
Many lyrics even contain a lot of negative energy or illegal content.
In comparison, Luo Mo's song "Daoxiang" is simply two extremes in terms of lyrics!
Luo Mo's singing continued to echo.
"[Please turn on the TV and watch
How many people are working hard to go on bravely for their lives?
Should we be content?
Cherish everything even if you don’t have it.】”
Not to mention, after listening to this song, they really felt that it fit well with the title of Luo Mo's album.
The album is called "On the Road".
"The One You Were" matches the title of the album very well, after all, it says right from the beginning: "I once dreamed of traveling to the end of the world with my sword and seeing the flowers of the world".
Moreover, this song is exciting to listen to and makes me want to go on a self-driving trip.
"Daoxiang" fits the path of life.
But some people walked halfway and chose to stop.
Some people choose to continue walking.
Perhaps the purpose of this song is to give way to passers-by and give them more encouragement and warmth.
The chorus of the song begins here.
"[Remember you said that home is the only castle,
As the Daoxiang River continues to run,
Smile slightly, I know your childhood dreams.
Don't cry and let the fireflies take you away,
Country songs are always relied on,
Go home and return to the original beauty.】"
Lin Xuan immediately noticed that before the chorus started, a drum beat suddenly cut in.
It makes the rhythm of the whole song stronger.
He thinks this point is very crucial and very clever.
Encouragement, with the word dance in it.
A little more briskness, a little more rhythm, and the effect might be better.
Otherwise, the didactic meaning will be a bit heavy.
During the interlude of the song, you can still hear the sounds of various insects.
This reminds me of my childhood.
It will make people feel comfortable, carefree and like time is flowing backwards.
At this point, Section A of the song should be over in the eyes of the three of them.
After the interlude, it should be time to enter the B section, where the format and melody are repeated, and the lyrics will become different when they are exhausted.
However, don't forget that many music critics now always like to use one word to describe Luo Mo's music, and that is - [luxury]!
Yes, it is luxury.
Obviously it's already good as it is, but Luo Mo insists on stuffing more talent into it, stuffing in various changes in music style, and just refuses to play it step by step.
Just repeat paragraph A?
Impossible!
This is how a natural transformation began.
Dong Guanshan and Lin Xuan looked at each other instantly.
For these two songwriters, Luo Mo was really pouring out his talents wantonly by doing this.
Obviously this can be split into two songs!
And this transformation often makes a song better and more listenable.
The song echoes:
"[Don't want to give up so easily,
Like I said,
The dream that cannot be pursued can be replaced by another dream,
Color your life brightly,
First paint love with your favorite color.】"
How should I put it, the sentence in this paragraph [If you can’t chase your dream, just change it to another dream], it is quite in line with Jay Chou’s own lyric writing style, hahaha.
The conventional formula is to tell you to continue chasing your dreams.
But if you ask yourself, it seems that people don’t just have one dream in their life.
This lyric has been controversial on the Internet.
But in fact, combined with the creative background mentioned above, this song also sings about the increasing number of people with suicidal tendencies in society.
What I said earlier, don’t give up easily, may be referring to life.
There are many choices in life, why not try another one?
After this part was sung, the three people in the room had a unified impulse: "Go back and listen to it again!"
The reason is very simple. After this section ended, there was a moment of pause.
During this pause, there was no sound.
After the pause, the content of the next paragraph suddenly continued:
"[Just laugh, success and fame are not the goal.]"
Such a simple silent pause made Meng Donghua and others feel amazing!
To be honest, this kind of gameplay is certainly not the first time for the level of these three people. This mode is also used in many songs.
But I don’t know why, I just think Luo Mo’s use of it is very wonderful.
It doesn’t make people feel abrupt or uncomfortable, it’s very natural, which is a plus!
It won't give people a fancy or messy feeling.
This kind of silent pause has been played by Jay Chou for a long time.
But later when "Hip-Hop in China" became popular, many people were amazed by someone in it who adopted this model. They even thought that he was the founder of this model. Later, other singers' songs
When there was a pause, everyone said they were learning from him.
In the room, when the three of them heard the lyrics "[Success and fame is not the goal]", they just felt that they had been tricked by him!
If Luo Mo is not considered successful, then what is considered successful?
But from the overall meaning of the lyrics, it does not actually mean Versailles.
On the contrary, this piece of content contains one of Luo Mo's personal favorite lyrics.
That is "[The paper airplane of my childhood is finally flying back into my hands.]"
Judging from the melody, the tune of this sentence is downward, and there is no direct continuation of the song after it. Instead, a few "[Ho]" sounds are added, which means that the content of the section has ended.
The three listeners in the room instinctively thought, now it’s time to go back to the previous format and melody and repeat it?
Luo Mo: I don’t!
The melody is repeated directly, and it is called "Light Luxury".
To be continued...
