How to evaluate Dai Quan's Wukong on Chinese Good Songs?

The first conclusion is that it is complete, beautiful and mature, with good musicality and popularity, and the lyrics and songs are excellent works. There is still room for improvement in the top five this season (there are too many good works this season). The following details.

Prelude:

First, it started with the old version of Journey to the West (novel and thoughtful), and then it paved the way for the electronic organ (the regular pop music route), and it was just right to stop before entering the song.

Paragraph a:

In the first half of the lyrics, from "the moon splashes the Milky Way" to "the heart is like a knife", there is a certain sense of picture but not too much expansion. The melody is smooth and lyrical, but the emotional bedding is a bit unclear.

Some so-called "embarrassing words" were used at the beginning of the second half. In fact, it slowly led the style to the ancient style and added Zen. There is a feature of alternating writing and writing (the flute is also used for this purpose). In the last paragraph, "Angry and sad is that people are ghosts", the groundwork was basically completed, and "there is a magic debt in my heart" was added, which was related to the image-building (non-human and non-ghost) and conception of the title of Wukong.

So far, this song is a very popular work, and you can feel the taste of works such as "Zhezi Opera", but its Excellence lies in not stopping there, but taking an amazing step towards more subtle musicality.

Connecting segment:

The number of flute scenes has increased, and the music style of Beijing opera has changed, and the electric guitar with variable voice has been paralleled. There is a cymbal ambush pen under the jazz drum at the bottom, and the phrase "calling Buddha" is almost a scalp explosion. The shrill voice of the opera matches the tune of the flute, and the phrase "Beijing Night" (Bobby Chen Edition) is vivid!

The lyrics continue to follow up. Life and death have nothing to do with going back, which interweaves the empty process of "enlightenment" with the process of "inseparable". At the same time, the music accelerates the rhythm and promotes emotions. The psychological agitation rendered by cymbals (a brilliant national musical instrument) is exciting and the emotions are close to the highest point!

In a word, the praise of the connecting passage makes the whole song jump out of the general popular ancient style and turn to an artistic work like One Night in Beijing (although it didn't reach that height in the end, there is no way to do it in the realm, but it is refreshing enough).

Part b chorus:

Emotion reaches the second highest point, and the lyrics "What's the use" and "How" are full of self-doubt and self-criticism, and the two "returns" are full of confusion and confusion. This piece of music is complex and harmonious. Whether it is national musical instruments or rock music, as well as the harmony part, it is highly compatible with the singer. In the end, the "golden hoop" is full of helplessness, but it is still "incomprehensible"

Then I entered a short solo, continued to brew emotions, and began to sing two sentences and two "I want". The soundtrack suddenly stopped, and the singer shouted impudently, full of helplessness of "I can't understand" and "I can't see the void". I can only vent my pain and loneliness by destroying everything (I have already burned to death). That's great.

But it's not over yet. The song reached the highest tone of "Crushing Lingxiao's unbridled" (true' color'), which formed a completely opposite intention with the previous sentence "The great hoop is ready to say that it is resting", and echoed with the previous sentence "There is no turning back, life and death have nothing to do", and the mood rushed to the highest point (both popularity and musicality), which was enough to shock the audience.

In addition, the sentence "it is inevitable after all" echoes the painful feeling of "enlightenment is not empty" outside the chart and reaches the critical state of "enlightenment is not empty" I think the characterization is basically completed at this time. This is clearly the Great Sage Monkey in The Story of Wukong! ! ! ! ! !

Enter the last sentence: "ashes disappear". Since "you can't escape" and "you can't get away with it", you can simply leave everything behind, destroy everything, or even burn everything, but you can't jump out of the magic debt in your heart in the end. Therefore, the last sentence is very weak in falsehood, with the power of destroying everything and the image of being vulnerable and helpless like a baby. The contradiction is unified and sad.

Written at the end: this is a good song, although it is not perfect. For example, the words in some places are white (Tanya Chua wants to push the phrase "angry and sad", and Tanya Chua hesitates to push it with a less pleasant "just right", so maybe it would be better not to push it ...) Some places are overdone (but most of them are not rhetoric, but full of enthusiasm and Zen), for example.
