Chapter 391 The old man gritted his teeth, this song was not intentional? (3/3 Monthly Ticket)
Of course, Yang Qian’s guitar skills cannot be overemphasized. However, he didn’t want to show off his skills in this song. He just used simple and unpretentious finger-picking. The style of the music is not very complicated. It’s gentle, clean and thorough, but it also has a lively rhythm.
The melody is catchy.
Because this song called "Love Song" (Cantonese) (Note 1) does not need fancy orchestration or intense and high-pitched accompaniment to attract people's eyes. Just like the title of the song, it is sung for lovers.
It is more important for songs to move people with emotion!
"With watery black eyes and a friendly smile,
The change in your face has not been transferred to your mind..."
Watching TV has such a benefit. Although the songs they listen to are Cantonese songs, many viewers do not understand the meaning of the lyrics sung by Yang Qian, but with the subtitles, everyone feels like they "understand"!
What's more, even if they don't understand the Cantonese lyrics, everyone can be moved by Yang Qian's gentle voice that they treasure in their hearts.
This feels like...
After so many years, I saw my first love again.
Although times have changed, she is still the same in her memory, with autumn-cut pupils, bright eyes and good eyesight. Even the changes in her appearance seem to travel back with time, and her friendly smile is still so warm.
Yang Qian's voice is so clean that he can sing the simplest beauty of this song into everyone's heart.
"The old days flew by quietly,
Several years have passed like a dream, looking back at the unfathomable plan..."
Not everyone may agree.
After all, not everyone has a girlfriend, or has had a girlfriend.
But when Comrade Lao Dai in front of the TV listened to his song, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Why does it feel a bit like when Yang Qian sang "Looking Back Again" to him?
Isn't this song "Love Song" sung in an old-fashioned way, making the audience more emotional the more they miss their lover?
Watery black eyes.
Dai Yuni inherited her mother Meng Yuyan's eyebrows, so Meng Yuyan also has big, bright, watery black eyes!
And Dai Zhenhong will never forget the way he saw her in the park in Quancheng that year.
That gentle and beautiful smile seemed to be imprinted in Dai Zhenhong's mind.
Even though so many years have passed, she is still the same as before...
"On the long and windy road, you are wandering alone,
Still looking for you, Yao Yao is like a shooting star..."
It cannot be said that Dai Zhenhong does not understand Cantonese at all. He has met many businessmen in Hong Kong in the past years when he has been engaged in real estate, and he can understand some common expressions more or less.
But he couldn't understand it just by listening to the music.
But, there are subtitles!
Listening to these two lines of Yang Qian's somewhat sad and lonely singing voice, and looking at the lyrics on TV, Dai Zhenhong's nose felt sour, and he almost cried because of this brat singing!
His wife walked that road alone, leaving Dai Zhenhong alone to busy himself in this world.
The bleak cold wind, the floating figures, the silent calls again and again like shooting stars...
The sad imagery in the lyrics is like a heavy hammer hitting Dai Zhenhong's heart.
"Beside the dark lonely pillow, remember your tenderness,
When I wake up at dawn, I feel so empty that I can hardly have it again..."
This brat, Dai Zhenhong wouldn’t believe it if he didn’t mean to write or sing like this!
He did this once before in "Looking Back Again", and now he has to expose his own scars!
Dai Zhenhong listened sadly, gritted his teeth, and decided to go there tomorrow to give this brat some color!
…
Of course, let’s not talk about the emotional expression of this song and the collision with Comrade Lao Dai. In fact, if you listen carefully and appreciate it carefully, the lyrics of "Love Song" are still very distinctive!
The lyrics are arranged in a very neat 75 structure. The rows of lyrics sound like long poems in the form of ancient songs!
Such as Bai Juyi's "Song of Everlasting Sorrow", Bai Juyi's "Pipa Play", Du Fu's "Song of Thatched Cottage Broken by the Autumn Wind" and so on.
Their characteristics are that they can write very long words without worrying too much about the relationship between oblique and oblique, they can flexibly switch between rhyme and rhyme, and they are also relatively free in sentence structure.
Obviously, the song "Love Song" also has such a retro style!
The rhymes of the first two paragraphs and the third and fourth paragraphs are different.
However, the frequent switching of rhymes does not bring about the awkward feeling of inconsistent rhymes. On the contrary, the separate rhymes of two lines give people a very unified feeling.
And this way, the lyrics sound more regular, the content is fuller, and there are also rich changes!
Music critics like Cen Liangwei, who care more about Yang Qian's music and lyrics, didn't know how to express their sighs when they heard this.
So beautiful!
He could only sit there with his mouth open and watch blankly.
At the same time, I find it incredible, how can any modern person write such words that are both literary, extremely beautiful, and story-telling, making people think about it?
At the same time, he wanted to pay homage, because in Cen Liangwei's view, even if he worked hard until he was 180 years old, he would not be able to achieve Yang Qian's level of perfect integration of ancient style and modernity!
There was "Flowers in the Water" before, but now "Love Song" is brought again. The lyrics are equally poetic and picturesque, making people even want to pick out the lyrics of the three songs and read them carefully...
Shun Liangwei began to waver. He felt that he was going to be slapped in the face when he said last time that the version of "Flowers in the Water" (Mandarin) was the best choice for the strongest song of the year!
Yang Qian hadn't even waited for the finals, but the songs that followed "Flowers in the Water" were enough to surprise him.
Judging from the lyrics alone, the lyrics of "Love Song" are really no worse than those of "Flowers in the Water", and are even more beautiful.
Moreover, the key point is that "Love Song" has just released a Cantonese version. Even Shun Liangwei hasn't heard Yang Qian finish singing, and he is looking forward to the next episode!
(Note 1: The original song is called "Alang Love Song", and the Mandarin version is called "Love Song 1990". Luo Dayou composed the lyrics and sang the song, but the Cantonese version was written and sung by Xu Guanjie. Both songs star Chow Yun-fat
The theme song of the movie "A Lang's Story" is also because of this. There is no such movie in this world. Besides, it is not appropriate to call the song "A Lang's Love Song", so Yang Qian changed it to "Love Song".
Character.
Of course, why sing the Cantonese version first instead of the Mandarin version which should actually come out first? There is no way. Although Xu Guanjie's Cantonese lyrics are already very good and almost restore the charm of the Mandarin version, it is still a little bit behind.
So Xiaohan put the Mandarin version to sing later. Of course, the specific advantages will be discussed in detail later.
In the previous chapter, Xiao Han said that the song Yang Qian was about to sing was sung by a singer. In fact, there is nothing wrong with it! Xu Guanjie was Jacky Cheung’s former singer. Some even commented that he was the originator of modern Cantonese pop songs. Maybe more people still
Those who know him from his movies, such as Xiaohan, Xiaohan used to like to watch his "Best Partner" series of movies the most. But Xu Guanjie's singing is really good, and he is worthy of being the god of singing. You can go and listen to it.)
