Chapter 253 What is 'Mountain and Sea' Can't afford?
Chapter 253 "Mountains and Seas", what can't you afford?
Special lighting effects appeared on the stage, and Fang Xing and Shen Xiyin stood in the center of the stage, waiting for the prelude to arrive.
The song prepared this time is "Mountains and Seas".
This song is written, composed, and sung by the rock band "No Party in Caodong".
This song doesn't have many lyrics, but each line has a different image.
If you don't think about it carefully and just read the lyrics once, it will be difficult to understand what the lyrics are about.
This song has been covered by many singers.
Tan Weiwei and Cyndi Wang sang a version together in "Sisters Riding the Wind and Waves 3", which became the real breakout song of that season.
Hua Chenyu also sang a cover in "Singer".
The original version of this song, the CD version of No Party in Caodong, has an intro of 1 and a half minutes. Such a long intro is okay in the album.
In a live competition, a one-and-a-half-minute prelude will definitely not work.
Therefore, Fang Xing mainly used the version that Tan Weiwei and Cyndi Wang collaborated on in "Riding the Wind and Waves 3", and also made some adjustments based on the original version.
The live effect of this version of "Mountains and Seas" is very explosive.
Cyndi Wang was able to win the championship in the end. In addition to her feelings, she also contributed a lot to this song.
…
on the stage.
Fang Xing and Shen Xiyin looked at each other, and after getting ready, they gave a thumbs up in the direction of the band.
The band plays the intro.
With a 30-second prelude, the melody slowly speeds up from soft to gentle.
Shen Xiyin was the first to sing the main song: "I watched my innocent self appear in the story without me. Waiting for my response, a reason why I am here..."
The verse part has a slow tempo, but it sounds like the calm before the storm.
While Shen Xiyin sang the main song, Fang Xing interspersed with a few calm refrains to release the emotion of the song bit by bit: "He understands, he understands, I can't afford it..."
One of them sings the main song, and the other harmonizes with the chorus, but they are not obtrusive at all and complement each other very well.
The verse is very short, only four lines.
This is why Fang Xing interspersed the chorus, not only to express emotions, but also to make the whole song fuller.
After the main song is sung, the tempo of the song begins to speed up.
The two of them each sang half a soothing chorus.
Fang Xing: "He understands..."
Shen Xiyin: "He understands..."
Immediately afterwards, the two voices began to synchronize, raising the melody, and their voices soared into the sky: "I can't afford it!"
Shen Xiyin's treble soared directly to the E5, and the two people's harmony swept the audience, creating a storm.
at the same time.
The band's accompaniment began to explode.
When the main song was sung earlier, the accompaniment was very soft and soothing, but at this moment it suddenly broke out, like a calm lake suddenly stirring up stormy waves, instantly setting the stage on fire.
Not only the accompaniment, but the special effects on the stage also appear at the same time.
The location where Fang Xing and Shen Xiyin were located was the lifting platform of the stage.
As the singing soared into the sky, the lift platform rose, pushing the two of them into the air.
Fang Xing and Shen Xiyin continued to compete, singing loudly and loudly: "Then turn around and walk towards the mountains!"
The audience and guests at the scene heard the sudden burst of singing and accompaniment, saw the stage suddenly rising, and their faces suddenly showed expressions of surprise.
The soft and soothing chorus at the beginning, coupled with the lyrics with unclear imagery, turns out to be just the foreshadowing.
After the preparation was completed, there was a violent eruption like a volcano.
At this moment, the audience could not help but be blown away by the singing and their eyes were filled with wonder.
When singing the main song, many music critics take the lyrics and read and listen at the same time.
When the chorus broke out, the music critics who originally looked down at the lyrics were so shocked that they quickly looked up at the stage.
The whole song starts from here and goes on and on.
"He understands, he understands, I can't afford it!
"So I turned around and walked towards the sea..."
After the first chorus ended, the interlude entered, and the band's musicians began to show off their instruments. The electric guitar and electric bass began to compete, and the melody and rhythm continued to rise.
After the interlude, Fang Xing and Shen Xiyin started a melody rap:
"I listened to that boy's voice, in the past where there was still a future.
"I looked at myself, innocently.
"Appeared in the story without me.
"I listened to the sound of the ocean and let it drown my past.
"I long for a happy ending, but I fail to be myself..."
The two voices joined together at the same time, and the cavity resonance was used to the extreme, and the two voices fit together perfectly.
After the verse ends, the chorus enters again.
"He understands, he understands..."
At this point, Fang Xing's voice began to explode, and he let out an angry voice: "I can't afford it!"
Thick angry sounds erupted, like morning bells and evening drums, covering the stage and shocking the audience.
The audience, who were already amazed by the explosive intensity of the song's chorus, widened their eyes even more when they heard the angry voice.
This A4 angry sound burst out, Fang Xingxing stopped, and instead of continuing to roar with the angry sound, he continued to raise the melody and sing the chorus.
This kind of arrangement allows the audience to hear the angry sound, but also has a feeling of unfinished business, with wonder and expectation in their hearts.
After the angry sound, it enters the last chorus.
Fang Xing's thick voice and Shen Xiyin's transparent and ethereal high notes fit together to push this song to its peak.
After reading through the highest peak, I drew a steady rest.
When the last note fell, the scene returned to silence.
Fang Xing and Shen Xiyin were still, breathing slightly.
After three seconds, the audience burst into warm applause.
The outburst of this song shocked everyone present.
Not only the audience, but also the guests and singers from other groups were applauding.
Zhang Huiying applauded the most intensely. She stood up and kept shaking her head in praise: "That's great! That's great!"
Wait until Fang Xing finishes singing.
Liu Silei returned to the stage for a post-singing interaction: "When I saw Fang Xing and Xiyin singing, Teacher Huiying was very excited, and she stood up and applauded at the end. Let's first let Teacher Huiying talk about this song.
How’s the song?”
Zhang Huiying gave a thumbs up: "That's great! Can the program team arrange for me to be a new singer? I also want to collaborate with Fang Xing on a song like this."
Liu Silei said with a smile: "This is a bit difficult. With Teacher Huiying's qualifications, what reason can you find to put her in the position of a new singer?"
Zhang Huiying thought so at first, but then she thought again, pointed at Fang Xing, and laughed and said: "Then arrange him to be with the new singers, he is so young anyway."
Liu Silei raised her eyebrows and said, "It seems that my age is quite appropriate."
When the model singers came in for the first recording session, Fang Xing looked at Mr. Tang Songhua and the queen Zhang Huiying. At that time, he felt that he was really out of place sitting in the seat of model singers.
However, judging from the popularity of the song and the number of Golden Melody Awards, it is not suitable for Fang Xing to be among the new singers.
Zhang Huiying was just joking.
Liu Silei then turned the topic to the music critics: "I wonder what the professional judges at the scene thought? How would they evaluate this song?"
The well-known music critic Luo Siwei stood up, holding an A4 paper and said: "This song does not have many lyrics, but each sentence has a very profound meaning.
"Maybe some viewers only listened to it once and didn't understand what the song was about.
“It was only after careful study that I understood its meaning.
“First of all, there are three ‘I’s’ in this song.
"Me No. 1 is the me who has been smoothed by life, given up on dreams, and returned to mediocrity.
"Me No. 2 is the me who had dreams and high spirits when I was young.
“Me number 3 is the person I dreamed of when I was young, and the person my dreams come true when I grow up.
"The first lyric is, 'I watched my innocent self appear in the story without me'.
"This lyric is about Me No. 1, seeing Me No. 2, and appearing in a story without Me No. 3.
"It means that we who have forgotten our dreams recall our young selves, when we were naive and looking forward to the future, but in the end we were defeated by reality and became the mediocre selves we are now.
"There is also a chorus, 'He understands, he understands, I can't afford it. So he turns around and walks towards the sea.'
"What does this sentence mean?
“The ‘he’ here is me on the 2nd, the me who had dreams when I was young.
"The image described in the lyrics is that my young, innocent and high-spirited self, after experiencing life, finally understood that I couldn't give.
"What can't you give me? It's a dream.
“In reality, we cannot afford the dreams we wanted when we were children, because they are too luxurious.
"So he understood everything, turned around and walked towards the sea.
"What is the sea? It is a world hidden deep in our hearts.
"We know that we can't afford it, so we can only hide this dream somewhere where no one can see it.
“Isn’t this kind of ‘understanding’ a kind of growth?
