Chapter 169 The Warm Bass Version of 'The Wind Rises' (2/2)
The Wind Rises? Wait a minute, isn't the song "The Wind Rises" high-pitched? Can Yang Han sing it?
Yes, the song "The Wind Rises" is considered a high-pitched song. Anyone who has sung it will know it. Wu Qingfeng, Lin JJ, Zhou Shen, etc. are all famous for their humanoid CD players.
Each of the high notes is more powerful than the last, and it can even be described as being indistinguishable from male to female.
Obviously, this is a level that Yang Han cannot reach in his life!
It's not that Yang Han can't sing high notes. For a singer like him who has studied vocal music professionally, he can sing high notes with a little vocal skills, and even higher ones are no problem.
Take Wang Xi as an example. When he sang "Besame Mucho" (an old Spanish song), the quality of the highest G4 he sang was very good! And according to his own introduction, his physiological range is from low C to high C.
Just because you can sing well doesn’t mean you sing well!
Yang Han's high notes can be heard, but compared to his mellow bass, it's difficult to sing distinctively with his high notes. Especially if you compare this to other professional singers who sing high notes, if nothing else, it's just
Speaking of An Yun, he is still far behind.
And for a mid-bass singer, it is very torturous if you ask him to keep singing high notes with great effort! This is also not friendly to the voice. Middle-aged and elderly people must pay attention to protecting their voices...
But then again, can Yang Han really not be able to sing "The Wind Rises"?
of course not!
The reason why the song "The Wind Rises" gives people the impression of a high-pitched song is because it was sung so amazingly by Wu Qingfeng and Zhou Shen, thus covering up the charm of the bass part of the main song.
If you don’t believe it, go back and try it. Don’t look at how others can sing this song beautifully. It’s actually very difficult. It’s easy for ordinary singers to be unable to sing high notes or low notes!
In addition, there is a bass version of this song. Although it is not widely sung, this bass version is also surprisingly good and has a unique charm that is different from Wu Qingfeng's version.
Today, Yang Han is going to sing this bass version of "The Wind Rises" with the treble part down-tuned! (Note 1)
…
When Yang Han was chatting, the directors didn't say anything, and the instructors gave him enough respect to let him finish his words. After smiling slightly at the audience, Yang Han put away his unruly expression and seemed to have quickly entered the state.
Likewise, he turned back and nodded gently to the band teachers with whom he had collaborated many times and whose professionalism was absolutely top-notch.
Soon, as they played, "The Wind Rises" was very light and the warm melody began to surround the scene and stir people's heartstrings.
"This song!" Fan Ziyu has the strongest sense of music. He immediately heard the beauty and specialness of the melody of this song. Then he couldn't help but turned around and asked Zu Ning in surprise, "It seems like he did it before."
The styles are all different!”
"Yes, he made a breakthrough this time." Zu Ning said with a smile. He and Yang Han had studied this song many times and tried their best to adapt it and create an arrangement that was most suitable for Yang Han's singing.
They chatted briefly for a few words and then stopped talking, because after the intro, Yang Han picked up the microphone and sang a magnetic bass in his mouth.
“There were stops and starts along the way,
Following the traces of youth drifting,
The moment before stepping out of the station,
There was some hesitation,
I can't help but laugh at this cowardice of being close to home,
It’s still inevitable…”
The bass here is different from the original one. Even in the version where the original singer sings "You can also use coupons to buy peppers" which is relatively low among several versions, Yang Han can sink the bass down better than her.
, the rich and steady voice is like a cello playing!
It particularly visually displays the scene of a wanderer wandering in front of the station and longing for it in front of people!
Of course, the lyricist of this song also wrote very well.
Looking at a few simple lyrics, I have a sense of déjà vu as in "Once Upon a Time Slow", "The train station is in the morning, the long street is dark and empty, and the shop selling soy milk is steaming" - of course, it can't be compared.
"Once Upon a Time Slow", but when you listen to Yang Han, a singer who is good at telling stories and expressing emotions with his voice, singing live, you will feel that everything sung in this song has a poetic charm!
The most charming part is the following paragraph!
"Once upon a time when I first knew this world,
Wandering around in all kinds of ways,
Looking at the horizon seems to be in front of my eyes,
I am willing to go through fire and water to do it again..."
Yang Han lowered the key, but the bass sounds different!
Especially the words "once upon a time", "everything" and "end of the world", Yang Han's powerful chest resonance and excellent strength and weakness processing make the bass performance of these words give people an irresistible sense of beauty, and it can even be said that
The numbing feeling spreads directly from the ears to the bottom of my heart!
Although the treble is clear and clean, the bass is not greasy. On the contrary, it can better convey the gentle and plain demeanor of a middle-aged man who sees through the world and just wants to tell you his feelings about life!
The audience at the scene was already intoxicated, and the instructor on the battle chair and the judges behind also liked Yang Han's warm and gentle statement.
"Now walking through this world,
Wandering around in all kinds of ways,
Over the years, the face looks different.
Unprepared to break into your smile..."
Some people not only like the melody and Yang Han's singing, but the lyrics are also like Yang Han's previous songs. Every word, every word, and every sentence is full of literary grace and beautiful artistic conception.
So many judges couldn't help but close their eyes and listen, as if Yang Han's being too handsome would affect their judgment!
Listening to the lyrics, isn't it the life sentiment Yang Han talked about earlier?
No, to be precise, it should be regarded as a life journey that everyone who has experienced ups and downs can resonate with!
First of all, we first met each other in the past. At the beginning, everyone was ignorant. They felt that success was close at hand, and they desperately wanted to strive for success!
Unknowingly, I am already middle-aged. Now that I have returned here, countless years and countless profiles have passed before my eyes, only to realize that I am still so nostalgic and want to go through fire and water for her (or dream) again!
Of course, such memories will not be heavy, because Yang Han sang the whole song with a warm and positive tone!
The audience doesn't know that the real challenge for Yang Han in this song lies in the following chorus!
"I used to be overwhelmed by the vastness of the world, and indulged in it by talking in my sleep..." Here, no matter how much Yang Han lowers his key, he still has to sing in a high note, but he can't sing as high as Wu Qingfeng or Zhou Shen, but he still uses it.
You can sing well with just the skills, and it's still within a controllable range.
Therefore, to the ears of the audience who are not particularly professional and some judges who are representatives of music platforms, Yang Han’s transition is not problematic at all, and it is very comfortable to listen to!
It's just that to people like Fan Ziyu and some senior music producers in the industry who have particularly sharp ears, this song seems to lack a little bit of explosive energy!
Maybe it would sound better if it was higher?
Fan Ziyu already felt that Yang Han had not fully tapped the potential of the song when singing this song, but he would not say anything because it was Yang Han's song and Yang Han was qualified to handle it himself!
Of course, the faults do not hide the faults, because this song is so beautiful!
Like "I once turned my youth into her, and I once felt summer at my fingertips." Listening to such beautiful lyrics made Fan Ziyu, a very capable creator, feel excited. He even felt inspiration bursting out. Putting it on the armrest
The fingers on his head are beating gently, as if they are playing the piano, and it seems that new music is jumping out of his fingertips!
Even people who don't think about creating will have a new brilliance in their eyes when listening to Yang Han's singing.
It seems that the beautiful youth is back!
Just like what Yang Han said, even if you are an uncle, you must bravely chase your dreams and live a young life.
The quality of Yang Han's treble is average, but no one will continue to find faults. Thinking about the warmth and enthusiasm that Yang Han brought to them in today's song, who will care about the slight shortcomings of these few lines?
Really, today people’s chests are filled with enthusiasm that has not been felt for many years!
