Chapter 497: Passionate
After the performance of a song, the lingering lingering aftertaste lingers.
The notes and lyrics lingering on the fingertips are entangled like smoke, little sparks drill into the blood vessels along the pores, the rushing blood and roaring heartbeat are rampaging deep in the soul, that kind of surging And passion, that kind of excitement and emotion, there are simply no words to express it accurately.
Involuntarily, he took a small step forward, but stopped nervously, staring blankly and quietly at Ansen.
Obviously Anson was sitting in front of the piano, while they were standing and enjoying the performance; but at this time, the positions seemed to be reversed, and they slightly raised their heads to look up at Anson.
Hot blood is burning.
Lily was a little embarrassed. She closed her eyes in a hurry, immersed in the rapid and turbulent breathing, trying to find some sense in the chaos.
But Myers couldn't hold it anymore and took a step forward suddenly. However, the moment Anson turned his head to look over, he braked in fear, as if there was a thunder pool in front of him, and he did not dare to easily Cross over.
"Uh, Anson, what is the song just now..."
After speaking, Miles realized that his voice was trembling slightly due to uncontrollable excitement and excitement, and he couldn't help but Reveal some expectations——
It turns out that he still likes music, he still likes to create, and he still hopes to see the cello integrated into popular music.
Anson did not speak immediately, but was immersed in the surge of inspiration.
Then.
"'Viva-la-Vida'."
Lily opened her eyes again. Although she didn't understand anything, she still couldn't control her curiosity.
But Miles immediately remembered, "Frida-Kahlo?"
Connor finally woke up from the shock, "Who?"
Anson I was about to say that it was the prototype of the biographical movie "Frida", but think about it, "Frida" seems to have been released until the end of this year, and now to the general public, the unibrowed Mexican woman is still not that familiar. .
The exception is Miles, "a Mexican painter, a free-spirited woman, who had a painting called 'Viva Life or Death and All His Friends.'"
But why Frida?
His eyes fell on Anson again.
“Frida suffered from polio at the age of six and lost one leg. At the age of eighteen, she suffered a car accident and shattered her cervical vertebrae, lost her fertility and had a brush with death. Her whole life was accompanied by a long period of pain. Pain and torture."
"However, she did not give up."
"She kept creating, fighting, and chasing, daring to love and hate, and faced it firmly and bravely. All hardships”
“Is she perfect?”
"No, of course not, many things are our romantic fantasies after her death, imagining her as a perfect symbol."
"But is it important?"
"No. Because she did bloom freely in her fragmented life, her sadness, her pain, her hardships, her struggles. Until the end of her life when she looked back, she still chose to embrace them, because these sufferings are Achieve her splendor and splendor.”
From Louis XVI to Frieda to Brad, and finally to Lily, Connor and Miles in front of them, they all face their own sufferings and challenges. , they all face their own choices, including Anson himself -
Long live life.
This time, Anson hopes that he will not leave any regrets. Until the end of this stolen life, he can calmly embrace his own ending with open arms.
The Anson in front of him was sitting quietly in the utility room, but the small space could not restrict his soul, which filled the whole world and the entire universe.
Myers finally couldn't control himself anymore and took a step forward, "Anson, then...can you play the first verse again?"
"Ah, cello, I forgot..." "But, it doesn't matter... Here, right here, it's like cutting into the cello, what do you think?"
Just do it as you say.
Without even time to react, Miles and Anson were already busy -
Obviously, "Long Live Life" is completely different from the previous "Wake Me Up" and "Hero" , not the type of subject matter, but the complexity of the arrangement.
The two songs "Wake Me Up" and "Hero" are as complicated as they come, but in essence, they are still four instruments, cello, guitar, keyboard and bass, and the drum set is just used as an auxiliary and arranger It focuses more on the layers, so far as the collaboration between the band members, the arrangement itself is not gorgeous.
"Long Live Life" is different.
From the main melody to the lyrics created by Anson, you can feel the grandeur and majesty. If you only rely on a piano, the finished product may appear thin.
Myers gave his opinion based on his professional concept: they should make full use of the symphony orchestra's strengths.
To be precise, it is not just the symphony orchestra, because the grandeur of the symphony orchestra is classical, but the style of the band is pioneering and adventurous that breaks the existing music model. Pop, electronic, etc. are indispensable, so They should use different instruments and different tracks to enrich the arrangement.
Music and artistic creation are the same. It is very difficult to simplify and simplify. If you are not careful, you may completely go off track.
Now, Anson and Miles are trying to simplify the complexity, but it is not a simple stacking of instruments. They need to find resonance between performance and performance——
This is Anson's shortcoming.
To be honest, Anson has not learned any formal music knowledge so far, and he hit a wall when his hobby turned into a professional job.
How to arrange music, how to coordinate, how to match, how to resonate, how to maintain harmony, this is a whole new world.
"Wake Me Up" and "Hero" have rich layers, but the division of labor is clear and the ideas are clear. Anson relied on intuition and inspiration to complete the arrangement, and right in front of him:
@#%...
Chirping, a mess.
Fortunately, Miles has rich experience. He not only has professional knowledge and system, but also has clear thinking and quick response, and can connect the key points in one go.
Obviously, this is a big project.
Lily and Connor were immediately dumbfounded——
Did any steps be skipped in the development of the matter?
The two people exchanged glances, their eyes filled with shock and confusion. So, what does this count? Have they reached a consensus? Next, just follow Anson’s proposal?
But... why not?
If it weren’t for Anson, they would have had absolutely no hope from the beginning. There would be no “Tonight Show”, no record company, and no “Wake Me Up” and “Heroes”. Now Anson is willing to follow them to continue the hope of the band. , they have no reason to refuse.
Not to mention.
Connor looked at Lily and showed a slightly helpless smile, "Can you refuse?"
Although Connor didn't say it clearly, Lily understood immediately. Can she refuse "Long Live Life"?
Such a magnificent, so touching, so beautiful and wonderful song.
The corners of Lily's mouth also rose. She wanted to give it a try, she wanted to believe in her passion again, and she wanted to chase her dream again, even if the outcome was a broken head and a bloody body.
“I have not been able to refuse ‘Wake Me Up’, nor can I refuse ‘Hero’. Do you think I can refuse ‘Long Live Life’?”
Lily said.
Then, Lily looked at the pitiful Anson and Miles, and squeezed into the small utility room. Connor followed suit, and the group of people were sweating profusely and busy.
