Chapter 1219: Chapter 1035 Our Youth_2 Chapter 1219: Chapter 1035 Our Youth_2 “In the previous Xian Yu season, twelve consecutive spots on the chart were mostly filled with pop songs!”
“I’m still a bit worried though, this Ye Lan is performing too well.”
“Look quick!”
“Sun Yaohuo is up on stage!”
“As expected, it’s a Xian Yu song!”
…
The stage’s large screen.
The song details are displayed.
Song title: Sunny Day
Lyrics: Xian Yu
Composition: Xian Yu
Performer: Sun Yaohuo
Lin Yuan showed a faint smile.
The flow of hot songs, the ever-lasting ‘Sunny Day’!
This widely spread saying in Celestial Dynasty is proof enough of the song’s status in the pop music realm!
In fact.
Even many years after its release, the song still occasionally climbs different charts on major players, displaying its near-dominant force in pop music.
And before it was taken down by NetEase Cloud Music due to copyright issues.
‘Sunny Day’ had always been the song with the highest number of comments on NetEase Cloud Music!
Not to mention, the numerous awards it has won.
School…
Nostalgia…
Youth…
How could any song about these themes avoid ‘Sunny Day’?
Lin Yuan wouldn’t go as far as to say this song will definitely beat that one from Zhong Continent, given that Ye Lan’s song is also quite formidable, but at the very least, it could match it.
This is a competition.
Lin Yuan’s song could ensure that Sun Yaohuo won’t lose at the starting line due to the song choice, but reaching the finish line will be up to Sun Yaohuo himself.
…
Zhong Continent’s live broadcast room.
Seeing Xian Yu’s name appear once more, Middle State people didn’t seem surprised at all.
“Here it comes!”
“It’s really him!”
“I don’t believe he can win this time!”
“Ye Lan’s song is definitely strong!”
“It’s just perfect timing, if we beat someone other than Xian Yu for the championship, it would still feel like something’s missing!”
“Exactly!”
“We can’t lose to him again!”
“It’s not like he’s personally competing, what reason do we have to keep losing?!”
“His competition songs are certainly excellent, but ours aren’t bad either. A lot of the time, we actually lose because of the singer’s performance.”
It’s not just tough talk from Middle State people.
In many cases, the gap between songs has become minimal.
With little difference in the quality of the works, the singers’ abilities carry more weight.
The most typical example is the song ‘Itch’.
If sung by a different artist, the score would surely drop a lot!
One of the terrifying things about Xian Yu is that he finds the best performers for his songs.
…
It’s my turn.
Sun Yaohuo, standing on the stage, gently closed his eyes, rapid scenes flashing through his mind.
That classroom.
That girl.
Those big rains in our youth.
Why bother embellishing it with poetry.
Youth itself is a poem.
Suddenly, a guitar sound reaches the audience’s ears.
The intro.
Three chords.
Sun Yaohuo, still with his eyes closed, nods slightly to the rhythm back and forth between the three chords.
Ten seconds.
Twenty seconds.
Sun Yaohuo still hasn’t opened his mouth, just the three repeating chords tugging back and forth.
…
The coaches’ seats from different continents.
The maestros looked at each other in bewilderment.
This song starts off in an unconventional manner, using nothing but three chords over and over to create a catchy melody.
Gradually.
Other instruments begin to enter.
The intro finally progresses to the thirtieth second.
In some songs, the chorus might have already started.
But in ‘Sunny Day,’ the singing had just begun.
Sun Yaohuo, who had kept his eyes shut, opened them for the first time, leading the audience out of the simple yet beautiful recurring loop of the intro:
“The little yellow flower of the story
Has been drifting since it was born
The childhood swing
Swings all the way to the present in my memory…”
Ye Lan’s song from Zhong Continent was filled with poetic melody and lyrics.
Sun Yaohuo’s song, however, took the opposite approach, with lyrics that were straightforward and plain.
Are the lyrics too simple?
Just when someone thought this, even more absurd lyrics appeared:
“Re So So Si Do Si La
So La Si Si Si Si La Si La So
…”
Let’s be real.
Maestros who have wandered the music scene for years, played all kinds of music, seen all kinds of scenes!?
But today’s scene…
They’ve really never seen anything like it!
This Fish actually delivered the simplest lyrics on the stage of the prestigious Blue Songlympics, outright giving out the musical scale!
Insanity!
Are my lyrics not worthy!?
You’re really good at making a scene, aren’t you!?
How is this different from putting stick figures in a comic strip!?
What is he singing in this part?
Asking the audience to fill in the blanks?
Of course, there are still lyrics; the gimmick lasts only for a couple of lines, but the song’s melody is tightly arranged:
“Blowing the prelude while looking at the sky”
“I recall the petals trying to fall”
It seems like it was just an appropriately playful moment, as the following lyrics rounded it out:
“On the day I skipped class for you
On the day the flowers fell
In that classroom
Why can’t I see
The disappeared rainy day I long to relive
Didn’t expect I still kept the courage I lost
I really want to ask you one more time, will you wait or leave
…”
Some audience members smiled knowingly.
The sudden switch to musical scale actually made everyone pay even more attention to digging into the lyrics.
The classroom.
Skipping class.
The rainy day.
The sprouting hearts of young girls and boys.
A few keywords sketch an iconic schoolyard scene.
It’s as if a breeze from youth gently blows by, as a nostalgic flavor starts to spread.
And Sun Yaohuo’s chorus naturally unfolds at this moment, devoid of the previously successful high notes, as if everything came together effortlessly:
