Rebirth in America

In the recording studio.

Many people came on this day because of someone.

Mark, Richard, Karen and others looked at the other side of the glass window dumbfounded, which was Alex singing a song in front of the microphone.

Behind Alex are several accompanists dressed as Mexicans. Some of them are playing the saxophone and some are playing small guitars. It sounds like a Spanish bullfight, but also a bit like the prelude to "Phantom of the Opera" .

This kind of strange prelude has never appeared in rock songs of this era. But it sounds like it has an indescribable flavor.

What surprised them was not the melody of the song, but Alex's lyrics: "My heart has been paralyzed, my mind has been confused, I should have taken a shortcut if I had known. You once said it was destined, wrong It's all about me and nothing to do with you, so the breakup is for my sake."

"That's cool, but if my friend asked where you were, I'd say this: Her plane crashed. Got scorched while sunbathing. Fell into a cement mixer filled with silt. Help. Me! Help me! I've never been good at breakups! She met a shark in the water. She fell into the water and no one could save her life. I returned all the souvenirs I bought her."

"Help me! Help me! I have run out of lies! I can't figure out the cause of your death and my pride still feels the sting. You were everything to me and one day I will find someone like you A beautiful woman! Maybe she will think that I am her superman instead of a minivan. How can you leave me on Yom Kippur? This is very chic..."

Music producer Mark asked the Carpenters in a low voice outside: "What on earth is going on? Alex and Brigitte broke up? And she was the one who initiated the breakup?"

Both Richard and Karen shook their heads, indicating that they had no knowledge of this matter.

"Impossible! I saw Alex and Brigitte having breakfast together today!" Richard was also confused and had no idea what the song "50 Ways to Break Up" meant.

Judging from the lyrics alone, it's very clear. The male protagonist of this song was abandoned by his girlfriend. As a result, he was not good at breaking up, so he had to pretend that he had not separated from his girlfriend, and told countless lies in order to explain to others. It can be seen from the lyrics full of resentment that the man is extremely reluctant to break up, but it is related to Alex and Brigitte. It seems different.

In terms of emotions and logic, the breakup should be about Alex getting rid of Brigitte. It makes no sense for it to be the other way around.

In addition, the Carpenter brothers and sisters are not outsiders, so they naturally know something about Alex and Brigitte. Obviously a few hours ago, the two were as inseparable as glue, making it difficult to separate. When we got to the recording studio, she turned into such a resentful woman, which was completely inconsistent with the facts!

When Alex finished singing the last note, most people in the studio were dumbfounded and had no idea what the song really meant.

Everyone here watches the news. for recent news reports. Everyone is paying attention and understanding.

Richard hadn't waited for Alex to walk out of the studio. He couldn't wait to ask: "Brother, what problem do you want to illustrate with this song? Did you really break up with Brigitte?"

This news is really amazing!

Everyone involuntarily pricked up their ears, hoping to hear more clearly.

"Breaking up? No?"

Alex looked at the people in surprise, and suddenly figured out what was going on. So he smiled and said, "How do you feel after listening to this song? Do you have any thoughts?"

Everyone shook their heads, and Mark even scratched his head in distress and said: "Alex, your song is completely different from the truth! Why does it seem that from the lyrics, we hear a man's resentment as if he has been abandoned?" Like a woman, she is uttering all kinds of plaintive curses!"

"Yes, I seem to understand, but I don't seem to understand!"

"It's not a question of whether I understand the lyrics, but that I don't understand... this matter at all..."

"Hey! You guys can do that. I'm completely confused!"

Everyone was talking to each other, talking about their feelings about the song, as if their original thoughts had been disturbed.

"Hahaha! Don't you understand?" Alex laughed and said, "That's right. This is the effect I want!"

Richard immediately asked: "What effect?"

Alex waved his hand. There was no further explanation, but the younger brothers and sisters were asked to come in and record together. They also had to finish recording other songs.

The song "50 Ways to Break Up" is just one of them. Alex also plans to find a TV station to shoot the music video. Today I just record the record first, and then find the MV actors and photographers when I have time.

One of the songs was performed by the three Carpenter brothers and sisters together. This song is called "If I Die Young." Just like the song just now, its accompaniment is completely different from the popular rock music now. It seems very alternative, but it feels good.

The accompaniment instruments include guitar, piano, bass, mandolin, drums and accordion. Among them, the most special sounding instrument is the mandolin. This is a plucked stringed instrument with a bright and slender tone. It is similar to and closely related to the lute.

If a song is not accompanied by suitable instruments, the rendering power of the song will be greatly weakened. Other music writers, after writing the music of the song, need to polish and refine it step by step in order to turn the song into beautiful music.

Only Alex doesn't use it. After all, his songs have already been formed in his mind. No matter what instruments are used, how to accompaniment and harmony, etc., these details have been perfected. There may be one or two songs that need to change some lyrics, or make some changes to the instruments, but basically the general framework does not need to be changed.

This kind of ability is something that no one else can catch up with. They can only believe that Alex has already thought out every detail of the song in his mind.

When Alex asked someone to bring out the mandolin, Richard was immediately attracted to the instrument.

What he saw was an instrument with a very special shape, with a semi-pear-shaped body, a short neck, frets on the neck, and a sickle-shaped head that curved backwards.

"Just let me play the mandolin!" Richard shouted happily, he had been very fond of this instrument before.

The mandolin is a variation of the lute, which originally evolved in the 18th century from the mandola, a small harp in the 16th century.

The variant of the mandolin best known today originated in Naples. In the 19th century, Italian mandolin maker P. Vernacia improved it and established the modern style. Composers of the 18th and 19th centuries also sometimes wrote works for the mandolin. In Italy and the United States, the mandolin is primarily a folk instrument, and in the United States it is often used in country music along with guitars and banjos.

Richard is well aware of the various characteristics of the mandolin. From the appearance, the sound hole of the piano is oval. Four sets of double strings are made of steel wire and are tuned the same as the violin, namely g, d1, a1, and e2. Play with a plectrum. Its characteristic is that it needs to be played quickly and repeatedly, and the sound is sustained and bright in the form of tremolo.

"Okay!" Alex didn't fight with his brother, he generously gave up the instrument. He turned to his sister and said, "Karen, as the lead singer, you can play the guitar and I'll play the accordion."

This song is also going to be made into a music video. Alex has already considered all the details. When the time comes, all the three of them will need to do is do some movements in front of the camera, and then match the recorded music to it.

Although there are only three people, there are actually some faceless accompaniment players. As insignificant pawns, there is no need for them to appear. This is the Carpenter brother and sister duo, so of course the camera should focus on them.

This is country music. The tune is a bit novel, but the style still sounds quite suitable for Americans. Especially when Karen's childish voice sang, the mood of the song was greatly improved, and its appeal was much stronger than that of the original Perry brother-sister combination.

From a technical point of view, Alex's ability makes his skills far beyond the world, so whenever he releases a new style of song, he can always shock everyone. However, in terms of emotional expression and devotion to singing songs, Alex is not as good as his younger siblings. After all, he is not entirely focused on his singing career.

Sometimes, a singer's voice and singing skills are not important, the most important thing is the appeal. As long as it can touch the hearts of the audience, then the singer is considered successful.

There is an example in front of us, the ugly girl Janis picked up by Alex. She received very little music training and her singing voice was not outstanding, but she was able to project her emotions into the hearts of the audience through her songs.

Only such singers can truly occupy a place in music history.

With the accompaniment of Alex and Richard, Karen sang very comfortably and fully expressed her emotions in the lyrics.

Just listen to her singing: "If I die young, please bury me in silk. Let me lie on a bed covered with roses, and sink me into the river at dawn. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net uses love songs words to send me off."

"Lord, please make me the one I want to shine upon my mother! When she stands under my colors, she will know that I am so at peace with you. Life is not always what you expect , always so gloomy, even though she buried her child. The sharp blade of life in a moment! I have lived enough time..."

Listening to her singing, people seem to see a girl in her prime, walking step by step towards the setting sun. She was singing and dancing among the flowers, slowly immersed in the cold and dark world.

This is a hymn to youth and a lament about the shortness of life.

Although the title of the song is slightly sad, the lyrics are quite romantic: "If I die when I am young, please wrap me in silk and satin, put me on a bed of roses, sink into the river at sunset, and sing with a song The poems of love bid me farewell..."
