Yesterday, when I started thinking about the song for the challenge, I thought that it would suit my vocal range, and then I would have to sing a song that could overwhelm any opponent in just 60 seconds. The name "Ghost Confused" popped into Yang Han's mind.
.
This song is actually Yang Han's repertoire. He likes this song very much, not only because he understands Li Zongsheng better as he gets older, but also because this song completely expresses his heart...
Yang Han must have felt it was a bit of a waste to present such a good song on the stage of "The Voice of China".
But when he thought of singing this song, the desire in Yang Han's heart grew like weeds and he could no longer control it.
…
Sitting on the high chair, Yang Han gently played the guitar.
However, for the sake of length, he changed the intro slightly, only for a few seconds, and then directly transitioned into the theme part.
"I once really thought that life was like this. A calm heart refused to have any more waves. The love thread that has been cut off a thousand times cannot be broken. It surrounds me with countless twists and turns..."
Yang Han's voice does not need to be deliberately lowered, it is just a normal singing. The rich and steady mid-bass is enough to make people feel the simplicity and affection of this song!
Teacher Li Zongsheng's songs are still as affectionate and straightforward as ever.
The lyrics he writes will not be packed with fancy words, nor will they sugarcoat emotions, giving people a pretentious feeling. If you pick a song at random, all you will see are some simple statements, but Mr. Li Zongsheng will always
Chatting like this perfectly expresses his feelings about life!
Just like "I thought life would be like this", the word "Le", which is used in ordinary speech, not only satisfies the rhyme of the song, but also expressively shows you a middle-aged man who wants to sigh but wants to speak.
The mood of retiring.
But not everyone can write such a lyric that is written in plain English!
For example, "it wraps me around in a thousand twists and turns." A normal person would write "it wraps me around in circles." A slightly more literary person would write "it haunts me in my dreams." Or use the same phrase.
The words and phrases are also in the normal word order of "it surrounds me in thousands of twists and turns."
By bringing this idiom up front, not only does the word "地" disappear, but the image of entangled love expressed in this lyrics becomes more vivid!
And the following sentence, "No matter how beautiful the spring breeze is, it can't compare to your smile." Doesn't it look a bit like the aforementioned "The spring breeze is not as beautiful as you"?
But in fact, "Ghost's Heart" is much earlier than the song "Ten Miles of Spring Breeze", and the original poem "Ten Miles of Spring Breeze is not as good as you" is also too literary, and it also borrows from the previous Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu's "Ten Miles of Spring Breeze on Yangzhou Road, Vol.
The allusion of "it's better to go up to a beaded curtain"!
In contrast, "No matter how beautiful the spring breeze is, it can't compare to your smile" is more ordinary and straightforward, just like what a normal person would say when expressing their feelings and emotions, and it is more in line with the context and wording habits of the entire song!
If some people still think that it is better to be more literary and artistic, then combine the next sentence with "People who have never seen you will not understand" and sing the two sentences in a row, you will feel how clever Teacher Li wrote this sentence!
Of course, regardless of how "rich" and tortuous the emotions Mr. Li has experienced, and what the creative background of this song is, at least Yang Han who sings this song is as simple and as sung in this song.
Infatuated!
…
Yang Han took out this song and just started singing it, and the eyes of the four instructors in front of him were already bright.
They all say, "When you are young, don't listen to Li Zongsheng. You have to understand it already." I don't know how the audience and students feel. Anyway, the four instructors, who all have considerable age and experience, understood the meaning of this song as soon as they heard it.
Expressed emotions.
Zu Ning and Fan Ziyu couldn't help but think about the lyrics sung by Yang Han. Although there were no complete lyrics and they couldn't recognize them completely the first time they heard them, what they heard felt that the lyrics were written in the same way.
really good!
"Someone asked me what is so good about you. After all these years, I still can't forget it. No matter how beautiful the spring breeze is, it can't compare to your smile. People who have never seen you will not understand..."
The tutors don't know Yang Han's past, and they don't know that Yang Han has been questioned by friends, acquaintances, and even some suitors over the years, just like in the lyrics, asking about a woman who has never appeared but has made him obsessed with him.
"What's the best place?"
Yang Han couldn't answer or explain, because as the song said, "People who haven't seen you won't understand." How could Yang Han explain to others if he couldn't find her? In his heart, no one could compare to her.
How good is she?
"Whether it's a ghost that's obsessed you, or it's the fate of the past life, but none of this is important anymore. If you can come back to my arms..."
"Whether it's destiny or you're deliberately teasing me, it doesn't matter. I'm willing to follow you to the end of the world..."
Of course, at the scene, the instructors still vaguely felt the emotions Yang Han wanted to express from Yang Han's emotional singing, and also realized that this song seemed to touch the softest heart of this "old man"
part.
Yang Han's singing is still within the framework of Teacher Li's singing style, and naturally Teacher Li's colloquial style of singing (Note 1) is indispensable. It is like a normal narrative, but the words are precise and round, and the words "luck" and "luck" are all severely missed.
On every beat.
But it cannot be said that he is completely imitating Teacher Li. Yang Han sings with a mentality that he has actually been calm (or seemingly calm) for more than ten years, so he does not need to stand up and dance, just sit in a chair
As he played and sang on the show, the audience felt that his emotions were very real and not too intense at the same time.
Just like Mr. Li, when you first listen to it, it may seem a bit bland, but if you think about it carefully, you will find all kinds of flavors hidden in it.
It is as if you are in a meditation room, lighting a light incense, pouring a cup of light tea, and then listening to your own heart silently with an expressionless face...
This feeling can be described in one word, that is "transparent"!
There is no need to deliberately hide or deceive people with sentimentality. A simple monologue and simple emotional description are enough to reflect the inner stories and emotions of each listener.
How can people get tired of hearing your own story?
Of course, what Yang Han listened to and sang was her own story.
Was that broken relationship a trick of fate?
In fact, after so many years, Yang Han no longer wants to be obsessed with this issue.
What he still hopes in his heart is to have the chance to meet again in the future and to hold her in his arms again!
This kind of emotional expression integrated into the lyrics may only resonate with those who understand it, and those who don't understand it can only be confused.
…
The one-minute singing time limit has actually arrived at this time. I don’t know why the program team limited it to sixty seconds. But since there is this rule, Yang Han also prepared according to the sixty seconds. He compressed the previous intro to ensure
I can sing an entire verse by myself.
However, when Yang Han looked towards the audience, he saw director Shen Jiamin, who was gesturing at him with a thumb gesture, and Du An, who was standing next to him and had no intention of hosting on stage!
Do you want him to continue singing?
It seems so. The instructors looked at him with eagerness and desire in their eyes, while the audience listened and waited intoxicatedly!
Even if they didn't see the action of the program crew, they were unwilling to break the beauty of the moment. They all looked at Yang Han and maintained a quiet atmosphere.
How could this song stop abruptly in the middle of singing?
Such a beautiful song, no one can get enough of it!
Even if we don’t talk about the audience in the venue, after the TV broadcast in the future, if Yang Han only stops halfway through singing, I’m afraid the audience will protest, right?
Besides, there will be video websites and pure enjoyment versions of music websites in the future!
These purely exclusive live songs can attract many people to become VIPs...
Then keep singing!
Yang Han didn't make enough preparation for the part after one minute, but he didn't need to prepare for this song. He just moved his eyes slightly, and his fingers that hadn't stopped continued to play the guitar gently, and his mind quietly drifted to another time and space.
(Note 1: Oral dialogue: The words used in operas refer to the inner monologue of the characters or the dialogue between the two; Note 2: For the song "Ghost Confused", Xiaohan suggests that you can listen to multiple versions of teacher Li Zongsheng, such as the live version
, maybe it’s because as he gets older, Teacher Li’s understanding of emotions and singing skills have improved to perfection, and his spoken-word singing is getting better and better!)
