Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

While the fans were still pondering the meaning of this sentence, they saw the staff carrying a new microphone stand and placing it in front of Bian Lang. The new harmonica microphone was wrapped with a piece of red silk cloth.

This is exactly the same dual-microphone configuration that Hedgehog used when he sang this song on Summer of the Band.

Most people at the scene didn't understand this operation, only those in the industry knew what effect Bian Lang was trying to achieve by doing so. But they didn't know why Bian Lang did it that way.

But when the single-chord electric guitar prelude came together, after the strumming of the strings with a strumming sound, Ding Ding changed its previous passionate opening, and when the steady double cymbals started, a simple melody like that coming through a phonograph came into the ears.

It seems that there is a barrier between this calm melody and the audience, and this barrier is time and years.

The expressions of the people on the stage seemed a little dull, just like the melody, giving people a feeling that they looked quite depressed.

Moreover, the colorful spots of light refracted through the enamel glass seem to lengthen the arc of time, giving people a feeling of going back in time.

The emotions that were just ignited by the funeral song "Daydream Blue" were almost completely eliminated by this 40-second prelude.

The fans who were previously angry about the truth of life have now calmed down one by one.

It was at this time that Bian Lang’s voice, which seemed close yet sounded far away, came out of the phonograph as if it was his last words at the end of the last century, and began to tell music fans a realistic story: “The body is controlled and destroyed by desire and drugs, the strong heart is filtered by time and sways in the wind, and the memories are stretched like ribbons in time and space, entwined with the sorrow of tearful eyes, empty pillows and rooftops…”

This was joked by Yuan Diqiu as the band being at the second level of rock music but the lyrics being at the fifth level. After the main song came out, many people who were very puzzled as to why Bian Lang kept forming new bands now have some understanding of why he did that.

It is a fact recognized by people both inside and outside the circle that Bian Lang has a variety of rock styles when writing songs. In the past, some people would comment on him and say, "Be careful not to be so haphazard, or you will end up being a mediocre person who is not good at anything."

But after the album "Tang Dynasty" was released, such voices gradually became less common.

The release of such a complete and high-quality album proves that Bian Lang is capable of creating at least one masterpiece in a certain rock music genre.

As for the name of Shenzhuan, it was introduced from abroad.

For more than two months now, the fixed monthly domestic production of 20 physical records of this album is always sold out within one day of the pre-sale opening.

As for overseas, the popularity of the score challenge for this album on Crazy Scale has already exceeded the 10 million mark.

Many professional musicians have promoted this album on their social media and have also given very professional analysis of the arrangements of many of the songs in the album.

The bass prelude of "Flying Bird" has been regarded as a benchmark by many foreign bassists.

So after the extremely high level of lyrics shown in "Train" and "Daydream Blue", now there is another song "Yearning for Life", which undoubtedly confirms the style of this series of Hedgehog.

The talent and thought revealed in just these four sentences are enough for students majoring in Chinese to write a short essay.

According to a music critic from the original Earth in the previous life, these lyrics are imbued with the sincerity of rock and rockers. There is no road leading to sincerity, and sincerity is the road to everything.

When the album "Yearning for Life" was released, Hedgehog was at a low point and on the verge of disbanding. Entertainment was flooding, but it was not only China that had no room for rock music, but the same was true around the world.

"Memories stretch out like ribbons in time and space, entwined with tears, empty pillows and the sorrow of the roof" seems to say that it was once cool and awesome, but these memories are getting farther and farther away, and finally only a trace is left, entwining this darkest moment, tears, empty pillows and roof.

It is not difficult to write “memories are stretched like ribbons in time and space”, but to be able to continue writing “the sorrow entangled with tears, empty pillows and roof” is not something that ordinary people can do.

It is a recognized fact that Zijian’s singing is not good enough, but the creative soul needs flawed talent, not mediocre goodness.

Perhaps that's the case with the long sound at the beginning of "body."

By now, the fans at the scene seemed to have figured out what the red silk tied to the microphone was for.

Although they still didn't understand what Bian Lang's purpose was in processing the song in this way, it did not prevent them from being brought into a certain emotion by the sound flowing out of the phonograph.

"All the love penetrates the depression and haze of this city, and is concentrated in the tree branches swaying outside the window at the end of the hair salon alley..."

"Why in the future, only a sincere heart and color, has turned into eternity and buried deep in each other's hearts..."

Bian Lang's voice, which had been "filtered" by time, merged with Guo Sichu's pharyngeal sound brought up by his strong chest voice without any processing, just like the two rivers of the past and the present converging together to become a new water system called the future.

Although this is not the first time the two have worked together, the distinction between the main and the secondary was always quite obvious.

When hearing this passage just now, Pan Jianhu could already hear the flavor of the lead singers.

“It seems that Bian Lang’s idea of ​​a male and female dual vocalist has now been implemented.”

At the same time, Lao Pan was also wondering about one thing. According to his innate conditions, Dong Youbian's vocal range is much wider than Guo Sichu's.

The one he had heard himself was three and a half octaves, while Guo Sichu's was two. He had also heard the songs sung by Bian Lang and Dong Youbian, but he felt that their voices and emotions were not on the same level.

"Maybe this is the singing business! It's good that You Bian is not framed by the other lead singer position of the Rolling Stones. With Bian Lang in this position, anyone would have to bear too much pressure. Perhaps only someone like Guo Sichu, who has a big heart and chest, can handle it!"

Thinking of this, Lao Pan decided to discuss it with Chen Shuting after this meeting and try to find out what Liang Kuan had to say first.

The interlude solo that everyone was looking forward to was not as exciting as they had expected, and it continued to proceed in a dull and steady manner.

But those in the circle don’t think so.

Rock music is supposed to be simple and wild, but it is difficult to use this relatively calm power to shake people's hearts.

Just like the commander at this moment, he stood in the isolation area with his eyes closed, feeling the spiritual excitement brought to him by this simple melody.

"The air should be clear in my heart but it is filled with dust. How can the beautiful green years be prematurely aged..."

As soon as this sentence came out, the low pressure that had been created by the dull yet profound feeling before began to show a slight upward trend.

I wonder how many office workers’ inner monologues have been sung out by these lyrics.

Although there were no large-scale shouts yet, more and more tears began to arrive.

He Lei came here with a mission today, to accompany the staff who came to inspect the Water-Splashing Festival project. He and Ai Hao stood on the container of the Xibiqi wine stall.

The staff were all young, about the same age as the two of them.

After hearing these lyrics, everyone unconsciously lowered their heads to look at their bellies which completely covered the area below.

"Premature aging..." This stab was too real.

And it's not just the body. People like them who live in a small town and have a little power in their hands have long forgotten their original ambitions and ideals in their contentment with the status quo. This kind of premature psychological aging is what scares them the most.

Originally, in their perception, a small music festival linked to the Water Splashing Festival was just like those performances in the past that invited celebrities to perform. As long as the celebrities were famous enough, they could just go to that station to sing a few songs and liven up the atmosphere and that would be it.

Don’t seek merit, but seek no faults.

But after listening to what they heard today, they finally understood how big the gap was.

Not to mention the previous outrageous operation of "29", just the current live performance that can make people cry is not the presentation effect they imagined.

Although the Songkran Festival is an oriental carnival, joy is the biggest theme, but the moments of laughter and tears are probably the most memorable.

He Lei is feeling extremely uncomfortable now. His heart, which had been closed off due to working in the engineering industry for a long time, seems to have been brightened up again by this guy Bian Lang during this period of time.

If it weren't for the staff he brought with him, he would have burst into tears at this moment.

There were no signs of physical decay on his part, but the decadent air he had acquired from being in the engineering circle made him look at least five years younger than the Bian Lang on stage.

When he went to an occasion like the Blueberry Music Festival, listening to Bian Lang's lyrics in which he never forgot the word "young", he felt that the gap was even greater.

As for Ai Hao, he now deeply regrets taking this job today.

If he had known that a song would make him feel so miserable, he would have let his old man handle it, and he would have just followed the fans in the venue and shed sweat and tears.

But this torment was not the end. The next line of Bian Lang's lyrics completely broke their defenses: "The soul was raped by the devil and thrown into the streets, with fallen leaves, garbage and plastic bags flying all over the sky..."

"Fuck!" This verb or noun, which can express countless emotions, echoed in the hearts of countless fans who heard this song at the same time.

None of them could have imagined that these two somewhat hideous and controversial words, **, would actually be used by Bian Lang in a lyric with quite a high literary value.

These two words accurately describe the mental state of many people present.

In their hearts, their once noble souls, that independent and interesting soul, after being destroyed by all kinds of demons in life, eventually turned into fallen leaves and plastic bags on the street.

Bai Dao, who was not at the scene but was watching the live broadcast at home, took off his glasses again and began to wipe away his tears.

In his opinion, the two images of fallen leaves and plastic bags, after being embellished with the word **, seemed to have changed from two dead objects into two extremely symbolic things.

Fallen leaves still have some beauty but not much, plastic bags still have some use but not much, if used to describe saints and ordinary men whose souls have been raped, then it is simply...

Although Bian Lang’s view on this point is not as clear as Bai Dao’s, the meaning is similar.

Because at the Summer of Le live show, Zijian was persuaded by the program crew to change this part of the lyrics.

Although the revised "Nightmare Prisoner" sounds more beautiful, the leaves and plastic bags at the back become a bit confusing.

Bai Dao's tears did not stop, and the singing on the stage did not stop. He continued to sing at the same time as Bian Lang and Cheng Shuting: "Waiting alone, maybe you will be loved after the sorrow, wandering alone under the street lamp in the middle of the night... Cultural care always comes after the extreme sorrow, but people still believe that the future will be more exciting..."

The first half of the sentence made countless single people cry, and the second half awakened countless people in the circle.

To put it bluntly, these two lines of lyrics reflect a feeling of being half-dead but not completely dead, just like the state of most office workers in real life.

Especially the second half of the sentence, Li Yiliang is the most appropriate example. Whether it is Xiang Kun or Zhu Wen's humanistic care, it was after he was deeply defeated by Bian Lang. Coincidentally, the present is just as written in the lyrics, and I still believe that the future will be more exciting.

It had been a long time since Guo Sichu sang this type of lyrics herself, so much so that in the last sentence, her voice had technical flaws due to sobbing.

But in the ears of the listeners, this moment of being off-beat is precisely the best highlight for this section, just like the dragging beat at the beginning of each sentence of Bian Lang’s main song!

The interlude that followed was still peaceful, except for the large screen behind Bian Lang.

The screen that had been playing lyrics before actually started to play photos. At the same time, fans noticed that the tone of the electric guitar in the interlude had changed. It had changed from being dull to becoming psychedelic and transparent.

In this electric guitar solo that spiraled up like smoke, the photos on the big screen showed the resolute faces of Bian Lang and his friends when they withdrew from the variety show, Bian Lang's venting when he smashed the guitar, and the angry Ding Ding, the determined Mu Mian, the timid Su Kan, and the crazy Strauss...

Even a photo of Guo Sichu singing with a loudspeaker at a concert appeared in it.

These frames and scenes flashed by in a very short time, but it felt like they were broadcasting the first half of these people's lives on the stage.

Looking at these photos flying by like slides, Bai Dao felt that, except for Guo Sichu, all the rock musicians on the stage were both painful and noble!

The pain that few people can see on weekdays is used to complete the "nobility" on the stage at this moment!

This comes from a sentence that he can’t remember which rock predecessor said: “For rock, in a sense, suffering is a kind of nobility.”

At this moment, he must add this sentence: "Only by bearing the weight of life can one live a resounding life!"

Many years later, Pan Jianhu added another sentence to this sentence: "So-called fame is both their luck and misfortune."
