605 casual interview
Music, everything is just about music. Without any conversation, without any nonsense, without any rest, Renly just stood on the stage and performed nine songs continuously for nearly forty minutes. This was not a fan meeting, It’s not a commercial performance, it’s just a simple concert, completely wandering in the music and flying freely..
After another song was performed, the audience burst into thunderous applause again, and the stormy waves crashed into the devastated pioneer village. On this night, this bar suffered from torture and suffering, but it was happy. in it.
This time, Renly did not continue to sing without interruption, but breathed out gently, stretched out his hand, took the water glass handed over by Nathan, and took a big sip. His dry and burning throat was like a dry desert. Absorbing moisture like crazy, all 36,000 pores on the body are opened, feeling so comfortable and carefree.
This was a brand new experience, a bit like a Pioneer Village show, but a bit different; a bit like a concert show, but a bit different. It awakened memories of those on Broadway and London's West End in Renly's mind. The small stage , the shining spotlight, the zero-distance audience, just the performance completes the connection between the stage and the auditorium, becoming a link between each other's hearts..
“Excuse me, can I ask a question? "While Renly was drinking water, a sudden voice sounded from under the stage. In an instant, everyone looked over. The noise gradually calmed down. In the limited space of the Pioneer Village, even if there was no Microphone, his voice is still clear and bright.
Renly showed a smile and said jokingly, "I've been avoiding such a session, but now I'm caught." After saying that, he nodded, shrugged, agreed, and took another sip of water. Then he put down the cup and looked at the source of the sound to show his respect..
“Why did you record this album? After all, Timsi couldn't restrain his inner excitement and asked the biggest question, "We all know that this is an album that cannot be sold. Even if we spend money to promote it, it is destined not to be recognized by the market. .Sorry, please forgive me for being rude..”
It was indeed rude to say so directly that the singer's album would definitely hit the streets. However, Renly pursed his lips with a smile to show that he didn't care..
Encouraged, Timsey continued, "I mean, even with all the people here today, maybe that's all. The mainstream market doesn't notice how good this album is, and the mainstream market doesn't. Recognize the excellence of this album. Even if it is recognized by a few senior music lovers or critics, it is destined to be an album that cannot be widely disseminated..”
Timsi is not adding insult to injury, but is feeling sad. On the one hand, he hopes that more and more excellent music will appear, not as a commodity, but as real music; but on the other hand, social reality is constantly bringing Come to attack, the dream life space is getting smaller and smaller. Suddenly I discovered "Don Quixote", and while I was happy, I began to panic. The feeling of worrying about gains and losses can only be tasted by truly being in it..
In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to Renly.
Renly pushed back his hanging hair. The forty-minute performance made him sweat profusely, and even his hair became wet. "I think this can be answered with another question: Why did he know that he would fail?" , we still have to try？”
A rhetorical question made everyone present fall into silence. This is a philosophical question: How many people are still willing to try even though they know they will fail? Just like a sports competition, how many people are willing to try their best despite knowing that they cannot win the championship?？
“I think, maybe I am looking forward to the existence of one, even just one, person who, after the album comes out, can understand the connotation of the melody, the sincerity of the song, and the person who can clearly know that the ending is failure. But he still walked on unswervingly." Renly always had a smile on his lips, and glanced towards the corner, where George, Stanley, Neil and others were standing..
He is lucky, he met more than one.
“May I ask, which song is your favorite on the album? "Amidst the silence, someone raised their hand again and asked a question. Originally it was just a true expression of Timsi's heartfelt emotion, but now, it has obviously aroused the curiosity of others present..
Renly asked calmly, "Can you tell me your choice first?？”
“‘Old pine tree'." The other party answered without hesitation, and then George whistled to express his agreement. Surprisingly, the scene immediately remembered several whistles again, and they all responded..
“‘Beast'." Renly didn't pause and gave the answer directly..
Generally speaking, singers are bound to be asked this question during the promotion period, and the singer's answer is always the title song. On the one hand, it is for publicity, and on the other hand, because the quality of other album tracks is uneven, the title song is often the most popular. The best choice. Of course, for a singer-songwriter, it is like having ten fingers and cannot make a choice..
Renly's answer was so crisp and clear that the audience blurted out, "Why?"？”
Renly chuckled lightly, "So we have arrived, a lonely place from which we can't go back. Beauty is forged, a crown is forged." He did not answer directly, but read out these lyrics..
This song was created because of Chris Hemsworth. That brief encounter allowed him to truly understand the contradiction and struggle between dreams and reality; I like this song because of Heather Hemsworth. Rose, the dazzling light shining on this girl made him feel ashamed. He could only clench his fists and move forward with determination. He fell in love with this song because of George Strand, his persistence, his madness, and his forgetfulness. It became a beacon for him to move forward persistently. He dreamed of one day reaching the other side of the vast lonely land..
Even if he transforms into a beast, he will not hesitate.
Music is such a funny thing, isn't it? As a creator, the listeners have different tastes and develop new understandings. This is also one of the greatest charms of art..
“Master, when you were on 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show', you only spent a few minutes creating 'Your Bones'. Is this true? Or a clip from a TV show? "As you can tell from the title, he must be a fan of Renly's movie.".
“Ha." Renly smiled directly, "I can understand that this is a compliment to me? Neil, is this the shill you specially hired? "A joke made the audience burst into laughter, "For many people, it is not an easy task to complete the creation of a song within a few minutes, but in fact, it is not that difficult..”
Renly picked up the guitar again, "In the 1960s, complicated and fancy arrangements were popular. The rock songs back then were very complicated. But after entering the 1990s, the arrangements began to become simpler. This formed the current creative system. Generally speaking, only four chords are needed to play any popular song. I mean, after the 1990s,.”
“are you serious? "There was a lot of doubts at the scene. They didn't care whether it was Renly Hall on the stage or not. Everyone had questions one after another. Neil was still worried that the world would be in chaos and shouted, "Show it, show it! I challenge you to do it! "At this time, the scene really became chaotic. Many people whistled and booed..
Timsy opened his mouth. In fact, the original chords of the melody "Your Bones" are indeed not very complicated, but the real essence of this song lies in the lyrics. It is a modern narrative poem that uses metaphor, personification, The metaphorical technique integrates life and death into it. The artistic conception is vast and majestic, but it is integrated with the melody. This is the most powerful part..
Creating such lyrics may not be difficult, after all, this is not writing poetry; but to complete it in just a few minutes is the accumulation and accumulation of one's knowledge, cultural connotation, and family upbringing. It is by no means an easy task..
Timsi was even more curious about Renly's background, but now, Renly easily blurred the focus - obviously, everyone still prefers such gimmick things. It is undeniable that Timsi was also a little curious: Four chords? No matter how this sounds, it sounds like arrogance.！
“Katy Perry's 'Fireworks'! "Ed couldn't help it the first time. He shouted for a song and chose the hottest song on the billboard right now, and it was also a dance song..
Renly glanced at Eddard, laughed, and then quickly switched four chords, "Just these four, these four are enough. 'Fireworks', right? How is the lyrics sung?？”
Renly recalled it seriously, and then started to play, "Because you are a firework, showing everyone your worth, letting everyone cheer for you, when you soar in the sky." Renly slightly changed the simple chords. Some of the rhythms, not in the style of folk songs, actually still retain the original pop tunes of "Fireworks", but without the electronic accompaniment of the original song, it is less grand and more chic..
Many people at the scene started humming along, mixed with exclamations and laughter. Some people didn't believe it and shouted, "Beyonce！”
“Which one? "Renly stopped playing the chords in his hand and thought about it seriously, "'Single-Ladies'? "The same chords seemed to have subtle changes, but they were of the same origin. This feeling was really amazing. "All the bachelorettes, all the bachelorettes..." Renly hummed simply, and then smiled brightly. Get up, "Please, let's do something difficult. Dance music is actually of the same nature.".”
“Michael Jackson? "Timsi said loudly, and a problem immediately came up. "'Avoid (Beat-It)）.”
“Is this song from the 1980s? "Renly's eyes flashed with a cunning light. He just said that it was after the 1990s, but he did not refuse. Instead, he lowered his head and looked at the strings, "What is the melody like?？”
Timsy's eyes widened as he stared at Renly's fingertips pressing against the nut, and then a miracle happened: four chords, just four chords, one of the greatest rock songs in the history of music, right on the guitar chord. A unique charm burst out from underneath, and Renly even raised his voice and hummed, "So avoid it! Avoid it! You'd better run away."！”
