Chapter 15 "East Wind Breaks" Music Review

In fact, as early as when "Dongfeng Po" hit the headlines, many music critics in the industry began to write song appreciation for "Dongfeng Po". However, it was not until noon on May 3 that the first professional music review was published.

come out.

Otherwise, for such an epoch-making song, no music critic dares to write a song review at will. To do so hastily is irresponsible to oneself, and it is also a blasphemy to this song.

The first thing to come out was the song review by top songwriter Su Ge: "I haven't written a song review for a long time. To be honest, at first I saw that this song "Dongfeng Break" actually suppressed my "Waiting", and I was very dissatisfied. I was

Whoever listens to this song with the purpose of doubting it will be shocked and fall in love with this song completely.

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

So I cycled through the single, picked up the score, picked out the musical instruments, and checked the information for two days. Finally, I finally got a preliminary appreciation of this song. Of course, this is just a personal opinion. If there are any shortcomings, please forgive me.

The lyrics of "Dongfeng Po" are adapted from Mr. Dongpo's "Dongfeng Po". In ancient times, "Dongfeng Po" was actually a pipa song, and this song imitates the ancient minor tune style, supplemented by the integration of erhu and pipa, a retro tune.

Wind makes it easy for people to enter the world and reverie of Tang poetry and Song lyrics.

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 gave up, including me. I didn’t expect Wang Xuan to do it.

The song "East Wind Breaks" is undoubtedly synonymous with the perfect integration of ancient poetry and modern pop music, breaking the current separation of new poetry and lyrics. Under Wang Xuan's special management, the lyrics alternate between ancient and modern times, giving a sense of intertwining time and space. By

It can be seen that if ancient poetry can be perfectly integrated with modern pop music, the artistic conception will be really amazing.

In terms of melody, "Dongfeng Po" uses the rarely used Chinese mode. The phrase "la so" is placed on "so", and the dots create the usual jumping feeling of Chinese ancient music. It completes the ancient rhyme, with the pipa rolling and the erhu dancing, accompanied by

Soft instruments such as harps play gracefully.

In terms of format, "East Wind Breaks" is the first Chinese-style song that completely conforms to the standard of "three ancients and three news" (ancient poems and poems, ancient culture, ancient melodies, new singing methods, new arrangements, and new concepts). The lyrics have

The connotation of Chinese culture uses new singing and arranging techniques to enhance the atmosphere of the song. The style is implicit, melancholy, elegant, and brisk, and fully brings out the antique Chinese flavor. It is a music flavor that completely belongs to China!

Undoubtedly, this song "East Wind Breaks" will become the originator of Chinese style. The whole song is full of a touch of sadness. The song is nostalgic, just like a yellowed page, recording a sad and beautiful story: Fence in the Small Yard

, the solitary lamp burns out, and in the dim night, the wandering traveler, after drinking the mellow wine caused by wandering, slowly sings out the lingering sound of a memory from his childhood, whose pipa can be broken by the east wind? Only after laboring swallows fly apart.

The story is narrated, just like the melody of a song, soothing and gentle. Listening to the music, I seem to see the romance and innocence of childhood, the passage of time, the misses between people and the little moments after a few years.

Regret, seeing the sadness and sadness of revisiting the old place, where things have changed and people have changed.

What’s rare is that this song can actually be sad without being 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 poetry. It uses one of the breaks of a big song to act as a song and dance, usually

There is music but no words, and the story is integrated into the song and dance, similar to a song and dance drama.

The very famous songs "Liangzhou Che", "Yizhou Ben", "Nishang Zhongpree", etc. in ancient times belong to Qupo. The song "Dongfeng Po" adopts a similar technique, recording the story of a wandering wanderer, bringing the past to the present.

Time, the sadness of revisiting old places, the sadness of things changing, and the melancholy of thousands of times are injected into the gentle and melodious melody. I advise the world to remember the past while not forgetting to cherish the present.

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

In terms of artistic conception, Chinese literature pays attention to images, and artistic conception is generated on the basis of images. If you extract the key words of each sentence in the lyrics of "East Wind Breaks", you will find, "cup, door, moon, candlelight, pot,

Wine, pipa, falling, flowers, flowing water, maple leaves..." are all very common images in classical literature.

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

The song "East Wind Breaks" very well integrates these images into the lyrics of pop music. The artistic conception is elegant and it embodies the loneliness of recalling the past vividly without being pretentious.

Lyrics, music, arrangement, soundtrack, rhythm, environment creation, and emotional tension. "Dongfeng Po" is all impeccable. There is no doubt that "Dongfeng Po" is not only the prelude to the Chinese style, but also a masterpiece. Wang Xuankai

It is the first of Chinese style, and there will definitely be many Chinese style songs in the future, but it is difficult to surpass this song "East Wind Breaks"!

This is my opinion on the song "East Wind Breaks", and I would like to share it with you. Again, it only represents one family's opinion. Please forgive me for any inaccuracies."

This is the song review of "Dongfeng Break" by top songwriter Su Ge. As soon as the song review came out, it received 100,000 likes in less than an hour, and was forwarded countless times. There were many comments below, almost worshiping Su Ge.

"66666, it's different when Dad Qu takes action."

"When I listened to this song, I liked it very much and wanted to say something. However, my generation is uneducated and can only say 'f*ck' to get around the world. Now that Qu's father has taken action, I only need to follow behind and shout 6666."

"

“Daddy Qu’s evaluation of this song is so high, it’s amazing.”

"Love this song."

Soon, the music review of the second music critic in the industry also came out. The one who made the review was the gold medal composer Ye Luo, who was also the songwriter of "Ask for Love".

"Originally I wrote a music review of "Dongfeng Po" from a professional perspective, but since Senior Su Ge has taken action, I will change my perspective and analyze the song from the lyrics.

First of all, I very much agree with Senior Su Ge's point of view. "East Wind Break" is not only the prelude to Chinese style, but also a pinnacle song. It will be difficult for future generations to surpass this song.

I have played this song countless times. I really like this song, the lyrics, the melody, and the story and emotion contained in the song.

A lamp of separation and loneliness stands at the window

I'm pretending behind the door that you haven't left yet

It’s like revisiting an old place with a full moon, and it’s even more lonely

The candlelight that wakes me up in the middle of the night cannot bear to criticize me harshly

The first part of the main song unfolds a story about revisiting an old place and feeling sentimental late at night. The lyrics are adapted very well, and Wang Xuan's writing skills are really amazing.

‘A lamp of separation’, separation is actually an adjective, but here it is used as a noun. It is obviously a lamp, but it is described as a separation, which vividly displays the emotions of the person under the lamp in a few words.

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

The sentence "The candlelight that is awake in the middle of the night cannot bear to criticize me harshly" is also wonderful. How the candlelight wakes up is nothing more than that the person next to it is awake, but it is late at night, and another synonym for wakefulness is actually insomnia, which represents the person next to it.

In a state of insomnia.

Why did he suffer from insomnia? It was nothing more than revisiting old places, seeing things, thinking about people, and being sentimental. Because this feeling was so strong that even the candle couldn't bear to scold him. Through the "sobriety" and "criticism" of the candle, the candle

The servant's behavioral state and psychological state are displayed very subtly.

A pot of wandering wandering around the world is hard to swallow

After you left, the wine warmed my memories and I missed you.

How to steal time when water flows eastward

The flower matures once but I missed it

The second part of the main song continues the late-night insomnia at the end of the first part and enters the memory chapter. The technique is similar, both use abstract objects to be personified. For example, in "A Pot of Wandering", what is wandering is of course not wine, but people. Wandering.

In the life at the end of the world, even the wine is difficult to enter the throat. Another example is "reminiscing about losing weight", how can I lose weight when I miss you? Of course, the ones who are thin are people, who lose weight because they suffer from lovesickness.

"When water flows eastward, how can time be stolen?" This description is also very wonderful. "Water flows eastward" is used to metaphorize the passage of time, and the word "stealing" is used to describe the passing of time, which will never come back. It encourages people to cherish the present moment.

Who is playing the song Dongfeng Po on the pipa?

Time peels off the wall and I see my childhood

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

You haven’t heard of my waiting

Who will use the pipa to play a song called Dong Feng Po?

I can see through the ending of Maple Leaf Colored Story

I will lead you through the ancient road beyond the fence

In the turbulent years, even breakups were silent

Revisiting old places, thinking about people after seeing things, having insomnia in the middle of the night, the love is unforgettable. The main song sets up the scene of the story, and the chorus is lyrical based on the scene to express the protagonist's recollection and yearning for the past years, and the regret for missing the love.

Regret, the sadness of revisiting old places and changing things.

The technique is still the same. For example, in the sentence "Time peels off the wall", time cannot be seen or touched, but the weathered wall skin can. The wonderful thing is that the weathered wall skin records the passage of time. After the wall skin peels off,

I saw my childhood through the gap in the wall. This is a very superb way of writing, connecting space and time. Anyway, I can't do it. The adaptation of this poem requires a very solid literary foundation.

From the perspective of the story itself contained in the lyrics, this song is a rare masterpiece.

A lamp of sorrow represents a far away figure. I don’t know where it will end up, but it often lingers in my mind and cannot go away.

Lonely, because I am the only one left. Returning to the old place adds to my loneliness. The only warmth in my heart is the candlelight in the middle of the night, but it seems far or near, or even far away, just like you, I can't catch it no matter what. I can't sleep in the middle of the night, thinking about you, I can't sleep.

Bringing a pot of sake with you to get drunk at night, what is hard to swallow is bitter and wandering.

How can I bear to blame myself so harshly? But although the memories are invisible and intangible, they are so deeply imprinted in my heart that I can’t hide them even if I want to. My thoughts follow me like a shadow, which is sweet, sad, and lost, just like poison drunk with a smile.

.

I desperately want to embrace a certain period of time, but I have no choice but that time has gone and will never come back. No matter how hard I struggle, it is of no use. Flowers bloom only once, and they mature only once. I finally understand that missing is missing, missing for a lifetime, missing forever.

Who is playing the pipa, who is telling their thoughts. The retro music style carries a long story. In that intertwined time and space, the east wind blows down the flowers and tears.

The mottled years are like ancient walls peeling off piece by piece, pushing aside the fragments and returning to the original place. At that time, we were innocent and beautiful, and the years at that time were peaceful and leisurely. The long sound of the piano is a touch of regret. The long sound of the piano,

It's a distant wait.

Waiting is actually a beautiful but cruel word in this world. Waiting, guarding that cautious love, may be filled with changes in the world, things and people changing.

Who is playing the pipa, who is talking with low eyebrows, and who is talking in a low voice. Who is reminiscing, while drinking a glass of wine, his heart is filled with confusion.

The maple leaves are red, and the forest is dyed red. Autumn is dyed red, and the stories are dyed red. What I pity is the story hidden in each leaf, but what I forget is the prosperity all over the mountains and plains. Wandering, wandering aimlessly.

When the leaves fall, it is the destined ending. Pick up a maple leaf and put it on your chest. The twists and turns of the ancient road have left the footprints of many people. We once walked together hand in hand, sighing that the years are like water, the world is like smoke, and everything seems like a world away.

At the end of the song, everyone dispersed, and there was silence.

Some people say that such a song has the artistic conception of the old west wind, the thin horse, and the small bridge and flowing water. In short, every time I hear it, many pictures will appear in front of my eyes. The melody is soft and gentle. The melody is smooth and elegant. It brings tranquility to people.

Quiet nostalgia, a touch of sadness. Everyone has a soft place in their heart, and everyone has a song in their heart that can touch this feeling. "East Wind Breaks" is a kind of beauty of nostalgia and a kind of regret.

The beauty. The east wind is yesterday, it is memories, it is you, it is me.

That’s the story I see in the song.”
