George S1ender (-s1ender) walked into the Pioneer Village, walked to his usual old location, ordered a glass of single malt whiskey, then leaned back in his chair and watched the performance quietly. W? W (i W?. 81ZW. COM

The singer on the stage looked like a boy next door, without any halo. After being thrown into the crowd, he would soon be swallowed and overwhelmed. This made the whole performance also full of approachable style, but hidden in the melody. The faint sadness in the middle was so real that George couldn't help but closed his eyes and tasted the lyrics carefully.

I have to say that George had some small surprises.

Now there are more and more singers, but the threshold has been lowering. On the one hand, it is because of the grassroots fame frenzy initiated by "American Idol", and on the other hand, because the commercialization of the music market is rapidly accelerating. Music as a commodity, the singer's appearance conditions, commercial value, market response and other factors are occupying an increasing proportion. On the contrary, the essential elements such as singing ability, musical sense, pitch, and creative ability are being ignored.

However, now the musical sense of the boy next door is eye-catching, and more importantly, the lyrics and melody of this original song are really good. Such creative singers are now becoming rarer and rarer. This is one of the important reasons why singers like John-Mayer, who have a certain creative ability but are unspeakably amazing, are highly praised by Grammys.

Although, just listening to one song now, George can't draw conclusions for the time being. For example, the boy next door’s voice is still a bit unstable, and the stability of the treble processing needs to be examined; another example, the creative results of this song are worthy of recognition, but it is just a flash of inspiration, or a talented iceberg. A corner.

However, the emergence of this type of singer-songwriter is indeed a surprise, and the music market needs to inject more such fresh blood. Otherwise, when music becomes a real fast food, the market will become increasingly sluggish and completely meaningless.

After the song was sung, Stanley came over and sat down in the empty seat next to him. With a familiar smile on his face, George said directly and critically, "You call me specifically for this big boy. Coming here?"

Although the performance just now was not bad, it was far from "stunning the four", and it was not worth his special trip. Could it be said that the pioneer village has fallen to this point? Has the music market been so bad? Stanley couldn't bear it just by the appearance of a young singer with creative ability? Invite him to the bar twice to identify?

"To be honest, I'm a little disappointed." George's poisonous tongue didn't hesitate at all, and he complained without shame.

Stanley was really familiar with this old friend. He didn't mind at all. Instead, he chuckled, "The older you are, the less patience is now. Even if you are like this, then we still What can the market ask for?"

A rebuttal made George choked and rolled his eyes, but he couldn't refute, he took the whiskey on the table, took a sip, and refused to respond.

Stanley raised the corner of his mouth triumphantly, but didn't cut directly to the subject. Instead, he said to the left, "Have you had dinner? Still the same?"

"Your dinner here is not for humans except that one dish." With a disgusting expression on his face, George waved his hand, as if driving a fly, and drove Stanley away.

After the song "Top" was sung, Ed was finally calmed down, and he was inspired by the fierce applause on the scene. The next performance gradually improved and finally returned to the usual level. Thirty minutes sounds like a long time. In fact, it ended in a blink of an eye. Ed could not help being a little reluctant, a little excited, and a little disappointed. He let out a long breath, "The last song tonight is asking for the original After the author's consent, I adapted the song, hoping to express my respect."

Ed calmed down the inner boiling and tumbling a bit, and began to draw the strings again. After the melody sounded, someone in the bar actually whistled, and the cold bar added a touch of popularity, which made Ed’s mouth rise. stand up.

"Ophelia", Ed chose this song, not only because it was the product of the night he and Lan Li met, but also because it once again awakened the firmness of his dreams in his heart. More importantly, Lanly’s creative talent once again opened Ed’s horizons. Whether it’s "Cleopatra" or "Ophelia", the lyrics contain poetry and beauty, amazing and hidden. The deep meaning behind Shakespeare's writings is worthy of repeated savouring, and Ed is truly admired.

Obviously, Ed is not the only one who likes this "Ophelia" and is familiar with Renly Hall in the bar. Those whistles are the best response, even Neil and others in the bar are still tall. Raising his hands, hitting the beat, joined Ed's singing.

"Ophelia" performed by the guitar is slightly weak, the joy and freeness between the melody is reduced a little, the negative emotions of sadness and loss become more intense, and it dances up and down in the clear guitar strings. . Ed's singing skills are not amazing, but his voice has a narrative ability. With the ups and downs of the musical notes, the story naturally emerges in his mind, which makes the whole song come alive.

"Oh, Ophelia, you have haunted my mind since the beginning of the century; oh, Ophelia, it was God who made a fool like me fall in love."

George's hand holding the whiskey couldn't help but pause in the air. This song really brought amazing taste, the melody of flowing water, profound lyrics, the contrast between joy and sadness, and the maturity and freedom of gestures. You can clearly see the dazzling talent of creation.

In terms of commercial value, maybe the “top” just now will be better, because the integration of popular elements will make it more acceptable to the public; but in terms of artistic value and song completion, George personally thinks that the latter song is slightly better For one thing, this is a song worth savoring.

Ed's performance is really good, even better than the other songs just now. The story behind the lyrics is deeply immersed in it, but the sad thing is that Ed's treble is not stable, and he changes the melody. The edges and corners are smoothed, and the interpretation is carried out in a whimsical way, moving, but it lacks some of the impact that strikes the soul.

Objectively speaking, Ed's stories are closer to life, such as "top level", simple metaphors and simple narratives hide his life knowledge; but the story of "Ophelia" is more poetic and more profound. , Just like a thick book of "The Complete Works of Shakespeare", you must have enough life experience, and you must calm down, in order to taste the taste.

In music creation, you can not only see the experience and talent of the creator, but also hear the hidden background, culture and class. This is also an important reason why music ranks among the seven major arts.

George is even more curious about what style would it be if it were performed by the original creator? What kind of singer is the creator of "Ophelia"? The appearance of Johnny-cash appeared in George's mind, vicissitudes, decadence, gloomy, sophisticated, dull, and irritable. It is very likely that he is a poet or a literary creator... which makes George even more I further thought of Bob Dylan.

After the song was sung, Ed called the curtain to the applause of the crowd, then put the guitar behind him, and said into the microphone, "My performance is over tonight. Next, I will invite Ophelia. The original author of this song came up, hoping that he can interpret the original version of the song to everyone, then it is everyone’s blessing. Personally, I look forward to it very much.”

These words made everyone chuckle, and Ed went on to say to the microphone, "Gentlemen and ladies, would you please... Lanly-Hall."

George cast his gaze towards the side stage, and then he saw a big boy wearing a white T-shirt and black jeans-that was the literal meaning, that immature face looked completely like a boy.

For folk songs that require thought precipitation and experience, age is the greatest wealth, and the drifting, ups and downs of life experience is the only way to create the melody. It is often said that suffering is torture for life, but for art It's a treasure, that's what it means.

But the big boy in front of him now seems to be less than 30 years old-no, he should be less than 25 years old. This is really too young, unbelievably young.

Although there have been many geniuses in history, for example, Leann-Rimes (Leann-Rimes)'s first test cry at the age of fourteen surprised the United States and won two Grammy trophies the following year. The history of the youngest Grammy winner has not been broken until 2o17~www.novelhall.com~ But Li An belongs to the style of rural pop music, not folk songs.

George's first reaction was that it was definitely not created by the big boy in front of him. The real creator should be someone else. After this explanation, things suddenly became much more reasonable. But the problem is that even if it’s not creating, just singing, and without enough life experience, the singer can’t comprehend the vicissitudes of the song. Just now Ed’s performance is typical of this, then this big boy in front of him... is he going to sing" Ophelia"?

This is not a "truth or dare" game for young people.

George couldn't help but repelled a little. He didn't like people taking music as a joke. He didn't know if Ed's introduction was wrong, or he understood it wrong, or Stanley's vision was wrong? Looking at the big young boy on the stage, George began to resist from the bottom of his heart: the worse his first impression was-even if he knew that the other party hadn't done anything yet.

Many times, the first impression is so mysterious, a simple little detail, or an inexplicable action, the heart has already made a judgment; but it is such a simple judgment, but it will often determine tens of thousands of things. Character Relationships.

George decided: He doesn't like this big boy.
