There's a hot saying this summer: No one can be young forever, but there are always people who are young.
Yes, youth is such a process of renewal, like the seasons come and go, the morning and evening alternate, the changes brought about by age are always inevitable, but there are always some people, some things, some sounds, can make us awaken those about the unchanging feelings of youth.
In my opinion, Zhong Yixuan, the post-00 singer-songwriter under the wow, is such a singer with a "wake-up" function.
Born in 2000, the first season of "Children of Tomorrow" promoted to the "Nine Labels" is familiar to more people, loves to play football, loves music more, has always insisted on songwriting, last year enrolled in the Beijing Modern Music School music production major, at the end of this summer, brought a new personal EP "Summer Half Year in the Northern Hemisphere" The first wave of warm-up songs, called "When You Think of You, You Are in Every Corner of the World".
Zhong Yixuan's appearance looks like a cute and cute, but also with a bit of baby fat childishness, his voice also carries a pure and clean, creative themes are based on their own experience, such as the "Children of Tomorrow" program is highly affirmed "Young You", and then to "Seventeen-year-old Summer" and "Want to Give You", nothing more than some of the small joys and sorrows of teenagers, but it is natural enough, there is always a "summer taste", just like those stories related to youth in our impression, encounters and partings all happen in the summer.
His folk song creation, continuing the fresh and simple campus folk songs of the 1980s, less of the awkwardness of giving new words to say strongly, more embodies the cheerful and positive mentality of young people at present, his original and interpretation reveals the sense of youth of eighteen-year-olds, in the process of listening, we can feel a real and vigorous growth force.
Just like this song "When I think of you, you are in every corner of the world", the producer is a senior old cannon in the folk music industry, Lu Zhongqiang, the founder of The Thirteenth Month Culture, the song "About the Present about the Future" that makes me tear up in the classic album "Sunny" is the work composed by Lao Lu, he not only served as the producer of Old Wolf and Ye Bei, but also single-handedly discovered and created Wan Xiaoli, Su Yang, Ma Tiao, Chen Hongyu and other folk musicians, Zhong Yixuan is the post-00 folk singer-songwriter he cooperated with for the first time. It was also the second time after a gap of five years that he personally worked as a producer for the singer.
"Zhong Yixuan is the best original folk idol in the new generation", Lu Zhongqiang is obviously full of confidence in his praise, and Zhong Yixuan's progress has indeed reached a somewhat stunning presentation through "When You Think of You in Every Corner of the World".
"It's the spring of the revival of all things
Sunlight illuminates the shady room
You won't
Appeared right in front of my eyes
The breeze gently shakes the swing
Afraid of waking up the cicadas who have just fallen asleep
Uh-huh
It's a new day again
It's a new day again."
The inspiration for the creation of this song is said to come from the day of the spring equinox in 2019, Zhong Yixuan, who was resting at home, was hit by inspiration, and became a creation in half an hour, and now it is officially released at the end of summer, still with the emotional throbbing of ignorance and eagerness to sprout at the spring equinox. The classical guitar of the prelude is as clear as water, as if the swing of time is gently swaying in the wind, and then the cello sounds slowly, rendering the thoughts of a mixture of uneasiness and expectation that the teenager's heart is rapidly gushing into the heart, and then Zhong Yixuan's singing voice sounds, and I hear a new singing voice with changes in the fine tuning: Compared with the previous works with thicker real voice singing, the voice line in this song is more clear and slender, increasing the use of air and false sounds, and then with multi-level harmonies. Let the sense of the song become more and more three-dimensional with his interpretation, and after the calm narration of the main song, the chorus amplifies the emotions -
"I saw what you said, I heard what you said
I started thinking about her again
Dreamed, woke up, no longer struggled
Just go with the flow
Just go with the flow."
Tell yourself over and over again "no longer struggle", but the song repeats three times "just let nature take its course", obviously conveys the rich emotional changes, that is, the reluctance, concern, and can't put down of the teenagers - the use of true and false voices in the chorus interpretation makes Zhong Yixuan's handling of the details of the singing more full, and also has more power to point directly to people's hearts, so that we feel a different aftertaste in his simple interpretation, although the song title "When you think of you, you are in every corner of the world" at first glance seems huge, and the song itself sings, text, The production is all light, but listening carefully to the whole song, I think that when the teenager misses that person, maybe the other party is in any part of the world, but in his heart, that person seems to be right next to him, a sweet little corner is enough.
This is the imaginary beauty that Zhong Yixuan can bring to us in music, his creation and singing, there is no uncontrolled lyricism of sprinkling dog blood, there is no collage of elements that please the market, just like a cup of white water, but we can all use our ideal temperature to feel the kind of touch that teenagers naturally emit in music, and it can even be said that zhong Yixuan's singing has a kind of "purifying" power.
In today's Chinese music scene, all kinds of exaggerated, eye-catching, large-scale production is not unusual, but in the "folk song" system, what we are eager to feel is always the "no additive" that can awaken the simple touch of the heart, it does not need to be perfect, but it must have real vitality, Zhong Yixuan's singing and creation, like a seed with such vitality, let us look forward to, a hope of growing hard.
