Chapter 15 "Dongfeng Breaks" Music Review

In fact, as early as the hot search headlines on "Dongfeng Po", many music critics in the industry began to write song appreciation for "Dongfeng Po", but it was not until the noon of May 5 that the first professional music review came out. come out.

Without him, for such an epoch-making song, no music critic dares to write a song review at will.It is irresponsible to oneself and a blasphemy to this song to get things done hastily.

The first to come out was the song review of the top composer Su Ge: "It's been a long time since I wrote a song review. To be honest, I was very dissatisfied when I saw that this song "Dongfeng Po" actually suppressed my "Waiting". Those who listen to this song with the purpose of questioning, who would like to be shocked by the first hearing, and completely like this song.

There is no doubt that "Dongfeng Po" is a top-level work, worthy of its epoch-making title.I have repeated the single countless times, and I still never get tired of listening to it. After thinking about it, I still feel that I should write a song review for this song.

So while I was looping the single, I spent two days picking up scores, picking up instruments, and looking up information. I finally got a preliminary appreciation of this song. Of course, it’s just my family’s opinion.

The lyrics of this song "Dongfeng Po" are adapted from Mr. Dongpo's "Dongfeng Po".In ancient times, "Dongfeng Po" was actually a pipa song, and the style of this song is an antique minor, supplemented by the integration of erhu and pipa. The retro style of the song can easily make people enter the world and reverie of Tang poetry and Song Ci.

The idea of ​​incorporating ancient poems into songs has actually been around for a long time in the industry, but it has never been successful. Over time, many people have given up, including me.Unexpectedly, Wang Xuan did it.

The song "Dongfeng Break" is undoubtedly synonymous with the perfect fusion of ancient poetry and modern pop music, breaking the current pattern of separation of new poetry and lyrics.Under Wang Xuan's special management, the lyrics alternate between ancient and modern, and there is a feeling of interlacing time and space.It can be seen that if ancient poetry can be perfectly integrated with modern pop soundtrack, the artistic conception is really amazing.

In terms of melody, "Dongfeng Po" uses the rarely used Huaguo mode, la si la so puts phrases on so, and the dots play the usual jumping feeling of ancient Chinese music, full of ancient rhymes, pipa rolling, erhu dancing, Accompanied by a soft instrument such as a harp.

In terms of format, "Dongfeng Po" is the first Huaguofeng song that fully meets the standards of "three ancients and three new" (ancient Fu, ancient culture, ancient melody, new singing, new arrangement, and new concept).The lyrics have the cultural connotation of Huaguo, and use new singing and arrangement techniques to enhance the atmosphere of the song. The style is subtle, sad, elegant, and light, and it brings out the antique flavor of Huaguo in all directions. It is the music flavor that belongs to Huaguo completely!
Undoubtedly, this song "Dongfeng Break" will become the originator of Hua Guofeng.The whole song is full of a touch of melancholy, and the song is nostalgic, just like a yellowed page, recording a sad and beautiful story: the fence in the small courtyard, the lonely lamp burnt out, in the dim yellow night, the wandering traveler, in the After drinking the mellow wine made from drifting, I slowly recited a song from my childhood memories, who's pipa breaks the east wind?Only Lao Yan was separated from the queen.

The story is told, just like the melody of the song, soothing and gentle, listening to the music, I seem to see the romance and innocence of childhood, the passage of time, the miss between people and the little things after a few years. It is a pity to see the sadness and sorrow of seeing the old places revisited.

What's rare is that this song can be so sad but not sad!
Just like the title of this song, the "Po" in "Dongfeng Po" was called Qu Po in ancient times. "Qu Po" is a genre of ancient Ci.It breaks up a large opera and uses one of them to perform a song and dance. Generally, there are no words in the song, and the story is integrated into the song and dance, similar to a song and dance drama.

The very famous "Liangzhou Che", "Yizhou Bian", "Preface to Neon Clothes" and so on in ancient times belong to Qu Po. The song "East Wind Breaks" adopts a similar approach, recording a story of a wandering rogue, injecting the past years, the sadness of revisiting the old place, the melancholy of endless twists and turns, into the gentle and melodious melody .Advise the world not to forget to cherish the present while remembering the past.

This is why I say this song is "sorrowful but not sad". The song not only contains the sadness of remembering the past, but also advises the world to move forward and cherish the meaning of the present.

In terms of artistic conception, Huaguo literature pays attention to imagery, and artistic conception is generated on the basis of imagery. If you extract the keywords of each sentence in the lyrics of "Dongfeng Po", you will find that "cup, door, moon, candlelight, pot, Wine, pipa, falling, flowers, flowing water, maple leaves..." etc. are very common images in classical literature.

For example, "wine" and "moon" are two images that often appear in Tang poetry.In the Song Dynasty, the two images of "falling flowers" and "flowing water" were the most common in the words of literati.

The song "East Wind Breaks" well integrated these images into the lyrics of pop music, with an elegant artistic conception, reflecting the feeling of loneliness of reminiscing about the past vividly without being hypocritical.

Lyrics, music, arrangement, soundtrack, rhythm, environment creation, emotional tension... "Dongfeng Po" is all impeccable. There is no doubt that "Dongfeng Po" is not only the prelude to Hua Guofeng, but also the first masterpiece.Wang Xuan set a precedent for Hua Guofeng, and there will definitely be many Hua Guofeng songs in future generations, but it is difficult to surpass this song "Dongfeng Break"!

This is my opinion on the song "Dongfeng Po". I want to share it with you. That sentence only represents the words of the family. Please forgive me if I don't understand it. "

This is the song review for "Dongfeng Po" by the top composer Su Ge. As soon as the song review came out, it received 10 likes in less than an hour.

"66666, Dad Qu's shot is different."

"When I listened to this song, I really liked it and wanted to say something, but my generation is uneducated, so I can only say 'fuck' to get around the world. Now that Father Qu has made a move, I just need to follow behind and call 6666. "

"Father Qu's evaluation of this song is so high, it's amazing."

"Love this song."

Soon, the music review of the second industry music critic also came out.Ye Luo, the gold medalist composer, was also the songwriter of "Ask Love".

"Originally I wrote a music review of "Dongfeng Po" from a professional point of view, but since Senior Su Ge made the move, I will change the angle and explain this song to you from the lyrics.

First of all, I very much agree with Senior Su Ge's point of view. "Dongfeng Po" is not only the prelude to Hua Guofeng, but also a pinnacle work. It is difficult for future generations to surpass this song.

I have also repeated this song countless times as a single. I really like this song, I like the lyrics, I like the melody of the song, and I also like the stories and emotions carried in the song.

A lamp of sorrow stands alone at the window
I'm behind the door pretending you haven't left

The old place is more lonely like revisiting the full moon
The candlelight that wakes up in the middle of the night can't bear to blame me
The first part of the verse unfolds a story of revisiting the old place and feeling nostalgic late at night.The lyrics were adapted very well, and Wang Xuan's writing skills are really amazing.

'A piece of sorrow', Lishou is actually an adjective, but here it is used as a noun.It is obviously a lamp, but it is described by a piece of sorrow, which vividly shows the emotions of the people under the lamp.

"Standing alone at the window" means the lamp is standing, the sorrow of parting is standing, and the carrier of sorrow of parting is standing there. With just this sentence, the abstract sorrow of parting suddenly seems to have life.

"The candlelight in the middle of the night can't bear to criticize me" is also wonderful.How to wake up by the candlelight is nothing more than the fact that the person next to you is awake, but at this time it is late at night, another synonym for being awake is actually insomnia, which means that the person next to you is in a state of insomnia.

Why is he insomnia?It's nothing more than revisiting old places, seeing things and thinking about people, and being sentimental.Because this feeling is too strong, even the candle can't bear to criticize him.Through the "sobriety" and "severeness" of the candlelight, the behavioral state and psychological state of the people under the candlelight are subtly displayed.

A pot of wandering wandering the world is hard to swallow
After you leave, wine warms memories, misses thin

How to steal time when water flows east

The flower matures once but I miss it

The second part of the verse, following the late night insomnia at the end of the first part, enters the chapter of memories.The techniques are similar, both anthropomorphizing abstract objects.For example, "a pot of drifting", of course it is not the wine that drifts, but people.In the wandering life, even wine is difficult to drink.Another example is 'memories miss thin', miss how thin?The thin ones are of course human beings, who have lost weight because of suffering from lovesickness.

"Water flows eastward, how can time be stolen", this description is also very good, use "water flow eastward" to describe the passage of time, use the word "steal" to describe the passing of time, and persuade people to cherish the present .

Who is playing the song Dongfengpo with the pipa
Time peels off the wall again and sees when I was a child

I still remember that year when we were still very young and now the sound of the piano is faint

I'm waiting you haven't heard

Who will use the pipa to play a piece of Dongfeng Break
The maple leaf dyes the ending of the story, I can see through it

I will lead you through the ancient road outside the fence
In the years of smog and grass, even breaking up is silent

Revisiting old places, seeing things and thinking about people, insomnia in the middle of the night, Yi Ren is unforgettable. The main song sets up the scene of the story. It's a pity, and it's sad to revisit old places.

The technique is still the same, such as the sentence "years are peeling off the wall", the years are invisible and intangible, but the weathered wall skin can be.Wonderful and wonderful here, the weathered wall skin records the passage of time. After the wall skin peels off, you can see your childhood through the gaps in the wall.This is a very superb way of writing, linking space and time.Anyway, I can't do it. The adaptation of this poem requires a solid literary foundation.

In terms of the story itself contained in the lyrics, this song is considered a rare masterpiece.

A lamp of sorrow of parting represents a distant figure, who does not know where to settle down, but often lingers in his mind and cannot get rid of it.

Lonely, because only myself is left.Revisiting the old place adds to the loneliness.The only warmth in the heart of the candlelight in the middle of the night, but it's as far as it is near, as if it's not far away, just like you, you can't grasp it no matter what.Insomnia in the middle of the night, thinking of you, thinking of insomnia, carrying a pot of sake and getting drunk with the night, what is difficult to enter the throat is bitterness and wandering.

How can I bear to blame myself.But although the memory cannot be seen or touched, it is so deeply imprinted in the bottom of my heart that I can't hide it even if I want to hide it.Missing is like a shadow, it is sweet, it is sad, it is lost, it is like drinking poison with a smile.

I desperately want to embrace a certain period of time, but the time is gone and will never return, no matter how hard I struggle, it will be useless.Flowers bloom only once, mature only once, and finally understand that if you miss it, you miss it, miss it for a lifetime, miss it forever.

Who is flicking the pipa, who is telling the heart.The retro music style carries a long story. In the interlaced time and space, the east wind blows down the flowers and tears.

The mottled years are like the ancient wall peeling off piece by piece, and the fragments are pulled back to the original place.We were innocent and beautiful at that time, and the years at that time were peaceful and leisurely.The melodious sound of the piano is a touch of regret.The sound of the piano is long, it is a distant waiting.

Waiting, in fact, is a beautiful and cruel word in this world. Waiting, guarding the love carefully, but what you wait for may be a sea of ​​change, and things are changing.

Who is flicking the pipa, and who is low-browed, telling the story.And who is reminiscing, while drinking a glass of wine, my heart is at a loss.

The maple leaves are red, the forests are all dyed, the autumn is red, and the stories are red.What is pity is the story hidden in every leaf, and what is forgotten is the prosperity all over the mountains and plains.Wandering, wandering aimlessly.

When the leaves fall, it is a predestined ending. Pick up a maple leaf and put it on your chest.How many people's footprints have been left on the winding ancient road.I used to walk hand in hand together, sighing that the years are like water, the world is like smoke, everything seems to be a lifetime away, the song ends and people part, and there is silence in the spare time.

Some people say that such a song has the artistic conception of the ancient road, westerly wind, thin horse, small bridge and flowing water.In short, every time I hear it, many pictures will emerge in front of my eyes.The melody is soft and gentle.The tune is smooth and elegant.What it brings to people is quiet nostalgia and a touch of sadness.There is such a soft place in everyone's heart, and there is a song in everyone's heart that can touch this feeling. "East Wind Breaks" is a beauty of nostalgia and a beauty of regret.Dongfeng is yesterday, it is memory, it is you, it is me.

That's the story I see in the song. "
