At the last moment, Jiang Yuan made a series of announcements, which made the audience stunned.
But everyone still accurately captured the last song Jiang Yuan said and the words of the new song he was about to sing, and they immediately let out a roar like a mountain and a tsunami.
It was as if this was the moment when the performance officially began.
Listening to the sounds at the scene, Jiang Yuan also skipped the questions he had originally prepared to stimulate the atmosphere.
At this time, it is obviously unnecessary to ask whether the audience still has the energy. The audience's voice has already raised the answer to this question.
After announcing the curtain for himself, Jiang Yuan also entered a state of preparation for the performance.
He put the microphone back on the stand, and then took off his jacket. The white shirt underneath was already wet with sweat and became semi-transparent.
When Jiang Yuan took off his clothes, many fans at the scene made amazing shouts.
During the performance, you can often hear the audience shouting "Take off", although this time the stage was far away and I didn't hear it much.
At the last moment, many fans' wishes were fulfilled.
Rolling up the cuffs of his shirt, Jiang Yuan nodded with the band members and then entered the performance state.
The stage lighting quickly followed suit, and the large screen in the square began to play animations in the form of dynamic sound effects.
The lights illuminated Jiang Yuan's small stage brightly, and at the same time, the lighting on the outline of his face looked just right.
When it cut to a close-up shot, it immediately aroused enthusiastic responses from many online viewers.
[I have to say, this shirt is very sensible!!]
【I will just say it!!】
【The voice of flesh fans has finally been heard!】
[No, are you all such perverts? The collarbone is so beautiful hehe! 】
【New song!! It’s the last song in the album!】
【It’s really good to have good physical strength by jumping and dancing to so many songs!】
——
Fans online are still lamenting the change in Jiang Yuan's appearance and are still unaware of what kind of performance will follow.
The main reason is also because the performance quality of the previous eleven singles has been very high, which has raised fans' expectations to a very high level.
Therefore, before a new song is performed, I subconsciously feel that it is great if it can maintain the level of the previous single, and it is inevitable that I will be a little distracted when watching the performance.
But as the lights turned, the prelude to "In The End" played, instantly attracting the attention of the audience on site and online.
The musicians hit the keyboard, and the electronic piano sounds and special sound effects hit rhythmically, attracting the audience's attention and establishing a sense of order in the song at the same time.
[Damn, this is the prelude!]
[It’s a good prelude to kill!]
【I feel like I’m going to explode!】
【Oh my god, so handsome!】
——
When the prelude sounded, Jiang Yuan stood in front of the microphone stand, nodding along with the rhythm and raising his hands high.
The audience at the scene, led by Jiang Yuan, cheered and raised their hands in the air.
"In The End" is a single from the famous band Linkin Park.
The first time Jiang Yuan listened to this song in his previous life was when he was playing a certain speeding mobile game. During the game, he was so excited by this song that it made him feel crazy while racing while listening to the song.
Feelings, and later learned more about this single.
It was a very immersive performance. Even before the singing started, Jiang Yuan himself was on fire.
“It starts with one….
(There is one thing from beginning to end...)"
The moment the prelude stopped, Jiang Yuan stood on the microphone stand and started singing the first line of lyrics, just like the opening line of all overtures.
But Jiang Yuan only sang two words, and the second half of the sentence was connected to the pre-recorded audio track, smoothly connected together.
When the second half of the verse was about to be sung, the band started beating the drums as if following Jiang Yuan's singing.
The moment the drum beat started playing, Jiang Yuan unplugged the microphone from the microphone stand and started rapping to the drum beat.
"Ohing I don't know why,It doesn't even matter how hard you try,
Keep that in mind,I doesn't this rhyme to explain in due time.....
(One thing I never understood, no matter how hard you try, it doesn't work,
Store in memory, write down songs as explanations at the appropriate time.....)"
The impactful rap paired with drum beats instantly gave the audience a huge surprise at the venue and even online.
Especially for some new fans from abroad and even passers-by.
Unlike domestic fans, because Jiang Yuan raps very rarely, these viewers don't think Jiang Yuan is a singer who can rap.
In other words, in their perception, there is still a slight gap in strength between those who can rap and those who are real rappers.
It's not like domestic fans have a clear understanding of Jiang Yuan's rap skills. This is clearly reflected in the barrage.
Part of them was excited to finally hear Jiang Yuan rap again, and the other part was surprised to find that Jiang Yuan could rap so well.
“All I know, Time is a valuable thing.....
The clock ticks life away.
(All I know is that time is a precious thing...life passes by as the clock ticks.)"
The exclamations at the scene did not have any impact on Jiang Yuan's rap, and he still held the microphone and sang the lyrics solidly.
Unlike the virtuoso style that showcases a variety of changing flows and tones, the rap of this song just tells the story from a narrative perspective.
It's like a real talk. It starts with drum beats that stir the hearts of the audience, but soon everyone calms down and understands the lyrics carefully.
"I thought we hired a professional rapper to sing the feat!"
"Better than some professional rappers!"
"The lyrics are better than many rappers!"
In three consecutive sentences, the music critic who came to the scene with Aaron changed his words three times in just a short period of listening to the rap.
Aaron didn't listen to the comments of his fellow travelers at all. He was more focused on listening to Jiang Yuan's singing.
"It's so unreal, didn't look out below,
watch the time go right out the window, tryin' to hold on didn't even know....
(Like an unconscious dream, the process is beyond your control. Staring at time and watching it quietly escape from the window lattice, I try to persist but don’t know...)"
Jiang Yuan memorized large sections of the lyrics in his mind, and sang them out in the most suitable way for him to sing.
After dozens of adjustments during rehearsals, I found the version that felt best to me.
Aaron was in the audience as an audience. While listening to Jiang Yuan's singing, he also focused part of his attention on the lyrics on the big screen.
As a music critic who has listened to music for many years, Aaron is actually not very interested in rap music.
After all, there are indeed many rap songs, even widely popular songs. To Aaron's ears, they are just sung with strange accents and tunes. Few of them are very clear in theme, and most of them sound exaggerated.
.
But now when I listen to Jiang Yuan's short verse, not only does the stereotype of rap not arise at all, I even feel that there is a lot of philosophy and thinking hidden in this line of lyrics.
At the same time, a large part of the audience watching the live broadcast had the same thoughts as Aaron.
【The lyrics are so well written!】
【The rap singing is really great!】
[It feels like the whole section is punchline!]
[Sure enough, when the writer comes to rap, he has already reduced the dimensionality of the lyrics!]
【It’s no wonder it’s Omega!】
——
Whether it is Aaron or the audience watching the live broadcast, their evaluation of the lyrics has risen to a very high level.
Part of the reason is of course because the lyrics themselves are very well written, and of course another part of the main reason is because Jiang Yuan just announced the news that he is an Omega not long ago, which adds an additional layer of identity filter.
.
With such blessing, many viewers subconsciously took a few more glances and made a deeper interpretation of the lyrics that they might have just mentioned in a cursory manner.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with this interpretation.
On the contrary, it allows the audience to immerse themselves in the atmosphere while watching the performance of this song.
“And even though I tried it all fell apart, what it meant to me will eventually,
Be a memory of time when......
(Even if I tried hard, it was to no avail. In the end, it all became a thing of the past for me...)"
If the lyrics are carefully read, even if the rap is sung at a relatively fast speed, the audience can be immersed in the story told by the song itself in a better state, and at the same time add their own annotations to it.
That is to say, in the process of listening to the song, you will have an emotional resonance with the song.
There is no doubt that this song is very capable of doing this. When the audience listens carefully, their thoughts follow the progress and changes of the song.
At this point, the rap part ends and it’s time for the chorus of the song to come on stage.
The emotions that were built up through rap accumulation were all poured out the moment the chorus came.
“I tried so hard and go so far,
But in the end it doesn't even matter....
(I worked so hard and persisted, but in the end it was still to no avail...)"
Jiang Yuan held the microphone and bent down slightly, switching from rap to rock voice mode, and started to explode in an instant.
The explosive drum beats, the roaring sound of electric guitar and bass, and Jiang Yuan's explosive singing all blended together and instantly burst out with huge energy.
The audience at the scene faced the impact of the sound wave most directly, and combined with the overwhelming emotions, the feeling at that moment was extremely shocking.
“I had to fall to lose it all,
But in the end it doesn't even matter.
(I had to lose everything I had, but it still didn’t help.)”
Taking a step further, Jiang Yuan stepped forward and stepped heavily on the guardrail of the stage.
The four lines of the chorus hit hard into the hearts of the audience, and the lyrics were not words that could inspire people.
What he sings more about is the normality and helplessness of life.
A kind of feeble roaring feeling, just like drinking too much chicken soup sometimes. Such lyrics can resonate more with the audience.
【The chorus is so cool!】
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! [Oh my god, Jiang Yuan is so handsome when he sings rock music!]
【This song also sounds great!】
【That heavy step really stepped straight into my heart!】
【It’s so hot! The whole place has exploded!】
It is indeed like the comments posted by the audience in the live broadcast room.
The entire audience in the square once again fell into a frenzied atmosphere under Jiang Yuan's singing, and each one of them raised their hands in the air.
Although they had danced many songs, it seemed that just because this was the last song, everyone exerted their energy without any scruples in this last moment and was completely immersed in the atmosphere of the music scene.
"Ohing...."
On the stage, after Jiang Yuan finished singing the chorus, he once again seamlessly transitioned into the second rap part.
While singing, he also paced back and forth on the stage twice, switching from the posture where his whole body was exerting force just now and became a little more relaxed.
“I tried so hard, in spite of the way you were mocking me,
acting like I was part of your property…….
(I work so hard, even though you will laugh at me, but my soul already belongs to you completely...)"
Every line of lyrics was sung by Jiang Yuan.
It is not difficult to see from the arrangement of the lyrics that after the same opening remarks as the first paragraph, it is introduced into a dialogue with oneself.
The lyrics that follow are reminders from the past in the context of the song.
It’s not about rap for the sake of rap, but there is real content that needs to be recorded and told.
After another period of rap foreshadowing emotions, it once again transitioned to the chorus of the song.
After the baptism of the first chorus, the audience is already somewhat familiar with this chorus.
When the chorus was sung again, the audience started to explode along with the song as they had expected.
In the second performance, in order to reflect the progressive level of the song, Jiang Yuan also appropriately emphasized the tone of the singing.
From the listening perspective, it probably made the audience feel more powerful and impactful after listening to it.
The second chorus is finished, and the song enters the bridge section at the right time.
The bridge of a song often plays a connecting role in the song.
At the same time, after taking over, it was to bring the song to a new level.
If we replace it visually, many MVs will often adopt very impactful scenes similar to explosions and fires at the end to express this new realm.
"I've put my trust in you.....
(I entrust you with all my trust...)"
In the bridge section, Jiang Yuan's voice became much softer, and the accompaniment became appropriately gentle.
And before the bridge section was finished, halfway through, the band broke out again.
Jiang Yuan's singing became passionate again, and instead of waiting for a gentle transition, it started to explode from the bridge.
“Pushed as far as I can go,
For all this there's only ohing you should know.....
(I try my best, but there is one thing you should understand about all this...)"
The changes in Jiang Yuan's singing gave the audience the feeling that when the bridge was crossing, the original means of transportation was a bus, but halfway through the bridge the bus turned into a rocket and shot directly into the sky.
This change also stimulated the audience's senses to the greatest extent, and then exploded all the way to the last chorus.
The lights flashed at high frequency, the musicians played hard, and Jiang Yuan also stood at the front of the stage to sing with all his strength, and the audience jumped until the end of the song.
