Chapter 389 "Between the Rainbows"
"Between the Rainbows" is already a song ten years ago.
As one of the ceilings of emo songs, "Between the Rainbows" is extremely popular, but its composer and original singer Jin Guisheng has never been famous.
He is also a typical representative of singers who are popular but not popular.
Even the vast majority of people who have heard "Between the Rainbows" don't know the name Jin Guisheng.
Until now, the number of his bib fans is not even as large as the number of collections of "Between Rainbows" on a certain platform.
However, his account on the short video platform has published more than 100 works, but has only 13,000 fans.
A cool singer and a red and purple song "Between the Rainbows" are true portrayals of many original musicians.
On the stage, a faint piano sound flowed slowly.
The prelude is long, but it’s just right at this point.
The accompaniment with a strong sense of fragmentation seems to have a sense of fate.
Zhao Lei was swinging the golden hoop around excitedly, but now he stopped swinging.
The audience listened silently.
Some people even think that this prelude alone is enough to make people emo.
After more than forty seconds of prelude, the promise on the stage finally spoke.
"I want to borrow the wings of an angel,
Catch the rainbow in the clouds,
It always dissipates when it’s about to be touched,
The illusion lasts forever,
In fact, there is nothing..."
On the stage, Xu Nuo raised his hand to the sky, as if to grab something. However, the next second, he paused and took it back tremblingly.
He opened his palms, but they were empty.
The poignant movements, smooth and soothing music, and slightly hoarse voice made the audience's hearts tighten as soon as they opened their mouths.
In tear-jerking songs, there are two major themes that are untouchable, one is family love and the other is regret.
Family songs, such as "Father", with straightforward lyrics and heart-wrenching melody, can easily impress the audience.
Regret is something that everyone will experience. Not everyone has a father who loves him, but he will have regrets once in a while, so he will feel more sympathetic.
A few lyrics, with a strong sense of story and imagery.
This person is like a rainbow, you will know when you meet them.
The rainbow is fleeting and has dissipated in the sky before it is touched.
The audience was mesmerized and the charm of the music was clearly revealed.
It was just the prelude and the verse, but it seemed like they had experienced an unforgettable parting of life and death.
Although they have not watched "Love Apartment", they have not seen Lu Ziqiao and Meijia's confession in their dreams, nor have they seen Lu Ziqiao and Meijia saying goodbye in the hospital, music can speak, and they still saw a poignant love story.
Xu Nuo silenced the whole place with a low, hoarse voice and a feeling of death.
The singing was a bit heartbreaking, and the audience couldn't help but laugh, and even felt like crying.
There are only a few lines in the verse part, and the chorus part quickly arrives, and the climax enters very early.
"The fairy tale says that after the rain there will be a rainbow,
But never said,
It will also become empty in an instant,
I want to hold the beauty tightly in my hands,
Suddenly discovered,
You are gone..."
At the guest table, Zhao Lei's eyelids drooped and he looked at his knees in silence.
Li Zhengyi is no longer cheerful.
The werewolf lowered his legs and rested his elbows on his knees, as if listening.
The jade-faced fox's sitting posture is still elegant, but with a hint of melancholy.
Gardenia pulled out a piece of paper.
In the lounge.
Tang Yue's tears fell down.
The ugly monster got closer to the screen. He was all too familiar with this heartache.
A song that brought silence to the scene.
Quiet melody, soothing rhythm, and melancholy atmosphere filled the audience.
The audience listened with tears in their eyes.
In the live broadcast room, barrages surged.
"It's broken, you came for me!"
"This is to keep me awake tonight."
"What are you doing at night?"
"The body is a little uncomfortable, so I'll evacuate first."
"I shouldn't be watching this show while drinking alone."
The countless spectators who were waiting for fun changed their colors, their mouth corners drooped, and they were silent.
In the coffee shop, Lin Wanqing watched the live broadcast with headphones and looked in the direction of Shanghai TV. Although she knew that this was just an artistic creation, she still felt distressed.
Although I know that this song is just an artistic creation, this resonance itself is the charm of music.
Beauty is like a rainbow, it is always short-lived. If you don't know how to cherish it, you will end up with nothing.
Lin Wanqing held her chin and looked at Xu Nuo on the screen in a daze.
This man is indeed worth cherishing.
…
On the stage, the lights were always dim, minimizing the presence of Promise, and he put down the microphone.
The song has a quiet melody and doesn't require any big stage moves.
The first half of "Between the Rainbows" ends with less than ten lines in total. The prelude accounts for half of the one-and-a-half-minute song.
The accompaniment is also quiet, with piano as the main component and saxophone as the supplement.
Emo songs don’t need too noisy accompaniment, which would seem overwhelming and break the original artistic conception of the song.
Even the most emo songs are mostly pure music, more is less, less is more, and blank space is also a form of expression in songs.
There was another half-minute interlude, and the atmosphere was very quiet.
Many viewers closed their eyes and listened to the song quietly.
Xu Nuo stood quietly on the stage, listening to the accompaniment, and raised the microphone again.
"Standing in the endless world,
Looking up at the sky where you once were,
After getting it, it was lost in the blink of an eye,
What is eternity,
I can't have it completely,
Oh my love..."
Pain!
It hurts so much!
Can't bear to let go, can't let go, can't cut it off, can't sort it out.
The feeling of heartache spread in the hearts of the audience, and some people got goose bumps all over the floor.
The audience's eyes were red and the tissues were wet.
This song is really tear-jerking, not the kind of tear-jerking that makes people cry loudly, but it still makes people inadvertently find that their faces are a little cold. When they reach out and touch it, they find that they don't know when, tears have already flowed down their cheeks.
The audience looked at the lonely figure on the stage, with only a monotonous spotlight shining on him.
There is no gorgeous stage, but it seems to move them more.
The hoarse and magnetic singing continues.
"I see hope shining between the rainbows,
The light condenses in the sky between you and me,
I no longer ask why you can't stay,
I see with a smile,
Love emerges."
The song has not been high-pitched until now, and there is no such heart-wrenching feeling.
The whole song has been relatively restrained, but this restraint makes people feel more distressed.
Music is like people. The more restrained, the more sensible and rational people are, the more distressed they are to others.
The sentence "I no longer ask why you can't stay" instantly broke the defense of countless audiences.
Letting go is called free and easy, and what can't be let go is obsession.
The audience felt that it was time to let go.
People can't and shouldn't live in memories all the time, and always look forward.
But why do I want to cry so much when I have clearly decided to let go?
The last part of the song sounded.
"A rainbow appears in the sky after the rain.
The grace of the angel kisses everyone in the world.
No longer ask why you can't stay.
Let go of your obsession and smile now."
The song ended, and the warmth was accompanied by a regret and sadness that was finally relieved.
The scene was still quiet.
The sadness flowed quietly in the long piano coda, the beautiful and intoxicating music, the natural touch, no one discussed it until the music ended.
After a few seconds of silence, the audience came back to their senses until the lights came on.
The scene broke out into thunderous applause.
Xu Nuo bowed to the audience to thank them.
The scene was a little depressed, there was no cheering, no discussion, although there was applause, but it always felt a little insufficient.
Xu Nuo picked up the microphone and planned to liven up the atmosphere.
"Why don't you laugh? Is it because you don't like it?"
With a bang, the audience was dumbfounded.
"Fuck!"
"Damn, why do I feel that the Monkey King is mean?"
"Awesome, I want to go up and beat him."
The scene suddenly boiled.
Zhao Lei stood up: "Don't stop me, let me go up and beat him to death!"
The wolf nodded and moved to the side sensibly, "Go and come back quickly."
"Come on, I'm rooting for you!"
The reactions of the guests finally made the audience laugh out loud.
"Fuck, my nose is full of snot bubbles."
"I was feeling sad, and he almost broke my defense."
"The Monkey King is really bad!"
At this time, Xu Nuo raised his hand on the stage and called out to Qi Tian, "Qi Tian, come and see!"
Qi Tian walked to the center of the stage with a puzzled look and asked in confusion: "What are you looking at?"
Xu Nuo said in a surprised tone: "I just sang casually, and they seemed to really cry!"
The audience was instantly broken.
"Fuck, I'm going to beat him to death."
"Who is so mean!"
"This guy is really a dog!"
Qi Tian: "...Well, the director, turn off the camera, I have something to do!"
"What to do?" Xu Nuo asked curiously.
"Teacher Zhao Lei, lend me your golden hoop stick. I want to beat someone up."
The two of them joked on the stage, sweeping away the sad atmosphere.
Xu Nuo then said, "I hope everyone can cherish the present and let go of their obsessions."
Applause rang out again.
During the review session, Zhao Lei weighed the golden hoop stick in his hand, "The Monkey King's performance today is perfect. This song doesn't seem to have any high-pitched transitions, but it is quite difficult. It requires a lot of nasal pronunciation and vibrato. At the same time, the granularity of the pronunciation interprets the broken feeling of the song's emotions very well. In terms of breath stability and true voice balance mixed voice, it is almost the ultimate."
Zhao Lei once again gave a high evaluation.
Li Zhengyi rubbed his eyes and said: "The story in the composition and arrangement is very strong. To be honest, this song made me feel like I had sand in my eyes."
Huo Shanchuan: "Amazing, the mixed voice is handled very well, plus the slightly unobvious crying voice, it is very touching."
Actor Lu Hualin's evaluation is still based on stage performance: "I am not as professional as others in music, so I won't comment on this. But the most important thing about music is resonance. Any professional technique is nothing more than the creation of an atmosphere. The atmosphere created by this song touched me, and the Monkey King's movements on the stage are very restrained, which is a perfect combination with this song."
After several guests finished their comments, they entered the voting stage.
