Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 229: Wind and frost can’t take away his pride, why should he fear hardship in his youth (please subscribe, please vote)

The fans cheered in victory when they heard this song title that they had never heard before!The sense of accomplishment in my heart is as satisfying as crowd-funding a silver alliance and throwing it directly in the dog author's face, forcing the dog author to stay up all night coding and updating.

As for why Bian Lang chose this song, and it follows "Dye the Night Black", he certainly had his own intentions.

When rehearsing this song, everyone in the Rolling Stones, including Bob, knew that the two songs had the same origin, but they didn’t think much about it and just followed it as long as it sounded good to them.Even Dayong, who thought the most, was thinking that Bian Lang might want to slowly enrich this style and make a complete album.

But in this situation, after hearing Bian Lang say the name of the song, Dayong suddenly felt that there were some necessary reasons why Bian Lang chose this song.

The person who feels the same way as him is not on stage, but off stage.

As the No. [-] Lang Chui Bai Dao, when I heard the name, I couldn't help but feel a little bit in my heart. It felt like these three words had appeared in a work related to Bian Lang at some time, but for a while, Can not remember.

Waiting for the American dry piano sound that has the same origin as "Dye the Night Black", after Bob pressed the 12th fret and plucked the two overtone loops, along with Dayong's ethereal cymbal sound, I felt a desire to rush to freedom. Feeling coming upon you.

Ma Yuan from the White Horse and Purple Dragon group couldn't help but praise after hearing only the second note: "It's really the three or two plucks of the rotating shaft, and there is emotion before the tune is formed!"

When Dayong's dull and steady bass drum sounded, some fans at the scene exclaimed: "I'm going to... this bass drum is exploded!"

The knowledgeable person spoke directly and explained to him: "Brother, this is the overlapping of the bass sound and the kick drum."

When Bian Lang's rhythm guitar follows up, the general direction of the entire arrangement can already be heard.

Even some belated music fans can tell that this "Sunflower" and the previous "Dye the Night Black" are Grunge rock with the same origin!

Music fans who are used to the Rolling Stones' ever-changing styles were suddenly caught off guard.

In their understanding, Bian Lang would probably follow Grunge with a punk song to release the resentment that had been pent up in his heart, but who knew it would still be the same tune.

But they have nothing to be dissatisfied with. After all, when Bob's lead guitar solo sounds, it makes people want to say "awesome".

At this time, Pan Xiulong also secretly praised Bian Lang's magic. As a music producer, he was originally puzzled by Bian Lang's unpredictable music style. Except for the new pants album, the music style was relatively unified. Except for this, Bian Lang’s other song styles so far are all traceable.It makes him feel that Bian Lang is not a musician, but a whole rock music circle.

Therefore, he also had an idea in his mind. He felt that Bian Lang was the kind of talented player who relied purely on inspiration. Songs were written wherever he thought. Each song released now seems to be a classic, but it is difficult to continue.So after Bian Lang uses up these flashes of surprise, is it possible that Bian Lang will end up in silence?

As soon as the song "Sunflower" with the same origin came out, his evaluation of Bian Lang was different, which at least proved that Bian Lang had the ability to continue to develop in the same style.Facing such an opponent, Pan Xiulong's mood at the moment could no longer be described as exhausted, but more of despair.

When the first 1 minute and 05 seconds of the prelude ended, Bian Lang finally opened his voice and sang: "The beautiful sky is always boundless. There is a seed buried under the clouds. Its nutrition comes from the mud on the ground. It takes root and sprouts and still obeys God's will." …”

Bianlang's version still follows the LIVE version from Lao Xie's rock and symphony concert, and even the stage lighting is exactly the same dark.

It's just that Bian Lang's voice is stronger than Lao Xie's, so when he opens his mouth now, not only does it lack the smell of green onions, but it also has a more high-end feel.

Moreover, I don’t know what Lao Xie thought about this version of "Sunflower" at the time. When singing it live, he deliberately lowered the original version by half a tone. People who are familiar with this song felt that it was sung out of tune.

But those who are really in the circle know how difficult it is for a singer who is used to the original version to continue singing this song by deliberately lowering it by half a key.

Moreover, it is the lowered half tone that can perfectly display the desperate mood that the first part of the lyrics wants to express.

Just after this section was sung, Dong Shuxian took up the bow and played the piano, and a piece of piano sound with a bit of a heroic BGM scene was added, which instantly raised the texture of the arrangement to another dimension.

It gives people a sense of the picture of "youth fades away and returns to dust, leaving nothing to say until dusk...".

With the addition of the strings, Bian Lang continued to sing: "Countless raindrops are falling all over the earth in front of me. There is only one problem standing here..."

Then the chorus came without any warning: "Sunflower, if you only grew in the dark, Sunflower, would you be afraid..."

As soon as these lyrics came out, Bai Dao was stunned in place as if he was struck by five thunders, because he remembered the origin of the three words "Xiang Yanghua", which was in the video of "Dye the Night Black" by Bianlang. the end of.The subtitles appeared in cursive script like splashing ink: "If the thick ink will eventually darken the moonlight, we are willing to be a sunflower and guide Chinese independent music to find freedom and light!"

This song has been sung to this day, and the meaning expressed in the lyrics and music is completely a continuation of "Dye the Night Black"!

"Sunflower, if you only grow in the dark..." corresponds to the darkest moment of Chinese rock music that was suppressed by goose eggs at that time.

"Xianghua, are you afraid..." I am not only asking myself but also my fellow travelers!
Bai Dao's own speculation is that Bian Lang had already written both songs at that time. If "Dye the Night Black" couldn't change the situation at that time, then Bian Lang would write this song again. Release it, continue to capture fans with your songs, and compete with Goose Dan.

But then Sima Nan jumped out to provoke him, and Bian Lang wrote "Rock and Roll on the New Long March" and silenced him. In the end, he even went to the Army Day Party of CCTV7, and he also gave Goedan Music to There was no sound, so the song was shelved.

And Bian Lang has now organized the Rolling Stones Music Festival, which can be regarded as the most glorious moment in his career so far. With the wave of "sunflowers" at that time, he has completely walked out of the thick ink, so he has arrived here. It’s time for a song to come out.

For a moment, Bai Dao's tear glands began to well up uncontrollably, as if mustard had been touched.

At this time, the music started again. Liu Ziyang, who happened to see this scene, asked curiously: "Lao Dao, what are you doing?" He thought the song was good, but it would not make Bai Dao, a senior music critic, I was so moved that I looked like this now.

Bai Dao immediately took out his mobile phone, quickly found the video that had been downloaded and saved, clicked it and pulled it directly to the section where the last subtitles appeared, and then handed the mobile phone to Liu Ziyang.

By the time Liu Ziyang took a breath and focused on the live performance again, the interlude had ended, and Bian Lang continued to sing the main song: "The beautiful sky is always boundless, and there is a seed buried under the clouds. , nutrition comes from the mud on the ground, taking root and sprouting still obeys God's will...Countless raindrops are sprinkled all over the earth in front of me, and there is only one problem standing here..."

"Sunflower, if you keep growing in the dark, Sunflower, will you continue to bloom..." Another chorus ended, and the melody of the electric violin in Dong Shuxian's hand began to become more and more magnificent, matching the drums and cymbals. Trembling, pushing the emotion of the song to a climax.

Liu Ziyang, who was a little confused just now, suddenly understood: "No wonder Bai Dao is so excited that he sheds tears. It turns out that's the reason!"

Looking at Bian Lang on the stage, Liu Ziyang only felt that this man with his long hair hanging loose and blown by the wind, under the sudden warm yellow face light, had a somewhat messy and scrawled image. Just like a sunflower, standing proudly in the light!
After the interlude ended, Bian Lang walked back to the microphone, raised half a key, looked ahead with burning eyes and sang: "Are you afraid, are you afraid, Sunflower, will you continue to bloom?" ...Are you afraid, are you afraid, Sunflower, will you continue to bloom..."

This continuous questioning immediately stunned everyone in the audience, especially the group of musicians from China Rock 29.Some of them have good memories, and they will remember the sentence at the end of the video without even looking at the video.

Especially Magpie, a rocker who participated in the recording of "Dye the Night Black" as a member of two bands, directly and seamlessly connected the artistic conceptions of the two songs.

Including Dayong and Huang Kai on the stage, they also reacted at this time. Even though there were thousands of emotions gushing in their hearts, they could only turn them into motivation, stabilize the rhythm of the performance, and ensure that this would become a classic live performance. Anything goes wrong.

Others who didn't expect so many others silently answered in their hearts: "Don't be afraid!"

The interlude started again, and Bob's lead solo had already used all kinds of techniques, whether it was a sliding hook or a sweep, it was captured by the camera that was pulled into focus without a trace of hindrance. on the big screens on both sides.

The guitarists at the scene, except for Ding Tong and a few other well-known masters, were all amazed when they saw it. They directly suspected that Bob had let off steam during the rehearsal.They think that after a long period of practice, they can also reach a level similar to Bob's now.

But they all also know that it only took a few weeks for Bob to get the music score.

In fact, Bob didn't paddle at that time. It was just that the time he got the music score was too short and he wasn't proficient enough at that time. So in order to achieve the perfect performance, he stayed up late these two nights to practice by himself.

If this solo wasn't so classic, for a guitarist of Bob's level, he wouldn't have been so excited about a song for many years.

Of course, all this must be attributed to Bian Lang.

Just after the one-minute interlude, Bian Lang and several people except Bob and Dong Shuxian sang together: "I won't be afraid, I won't be afraid, sunflower, I will continue to bloom..." "

Even the wheel that has been playing soy sauce has started to sing harmonies!

Bian Lang made some modifications to the last word based on reality, and gave a direct answer to the philosophical question of "will you be afraid?", which is intended to inspire and inspire!
When he heard this, Liu Ziyang, who couldn't hide his excitement, had only one sentence in his heart, and that was: "Wind and frost can hardly wear down his pride, so why should he fear hardship in his youth!"
