How Jay Chou's super strong Rap's "The Death of The Cessation of War", known as the "Death of The Cessation of War" of Zhou Dong's dark trilogy, is comparable to "In the Name of the Father", that is, "The Seventh Chapter of the Night", I personally think that the most core reason lies in the significance of this song, which is an anti-war song, a singer-songwriter, who can trigger the thinking of the whole society responsible for all mankind through his own creation, which is very rare. This requires, first of all, that the quality of the work itself is excellent. Secondly, I need to have enough weight to attract everyone's attention, and "The Death of the War" is enough to meet these two points, although it is not as classic as Beyond's AMANI, but it is a rare anti-war theme song in the Chinese music scene.
Music as an earlier existence than language, regardless of the nature of the borders and regions, the deepest meaning is definitely not only good, music is the best tool to spread spirit and power, but many users have not given him such a height, most songs only stay in the emotional stage of expressing a small part of the group, of course, can not be ashamed to ask every singer to rise to this height, after all, singers who can have such a perspective need a lot of the status of the field where the pattern is located. At that time, Jay Chou officially chose to discover this song at this time at the peak of his career, whether from personal influence or peak creative ability, so that this song has become a classic, but also worthy of his identity as the hegemony of the Chinese music scene, this song is composed and arranged by Jay Chou, the lyrics still choose the old partner Fang Wenshan. I think it would be better if this kind of theme would choose Huang Junlang, but Wenshan did not disappoint everyone. The lyrics of the whole song are vividly reflected in the tragic experience of the people in the war and the reflection caused by the war.
Especially the opening sentence is simply a stroke of genius, the light is as light as paper, and the light is scattered everywhere. Light in the applause of his hurried, here reflects Fang Wenshan's excellent writing skills, although whether light is a substance, so many years still debated, but in everyone's general cognition, light is not quality, but here Wenshan to compare him to quality, even has a soul. This technique also appears in "East Wind Broken", that is, the words of the years peeling off on the wall, seeing when I was a child. This treatment not only strengthens the charm of the lyrics themselves, but also brings the fear in people's hearts after the war, and after the baptism of fire, the depression of the ruined village jumps on the paper, which makes me wonder, is Wenshan writing lyrics? It's all about writing poetry.
Here also mention another master, that is, the director of the MV of this song Kwong Sheng, Kwong Sheng's strength does not need to be repeated too much, a song "In the Name of the Father" is enough to throw other MV directors a few streets, the city background in the MV of this song is built in the border city of Vladivostok, which has been baptized by the baptism of fire, the MV also invited 15 local soldiers and 40 children to participate, and the whole song MV shows the situation of the depression and human panic after the war. Jaylen plays two roles in the MV, one is a soldier returning from the war, and the other is a storyteller who describes this tragic story to us, and has to admire Kwong Sheng's good intentions. Such a treatment can not only let the audience experience the pain of those who have experienced the war, but also let everyone jump out of their personal feelings and reflect on the harm caused by war to mankind, such a narrative, without the arrogance and domineering in "In the Name of the Father", still shows the determination to oppose the war, as well as compassion for the people who have suffered from war, which also allows Kwong Sheng to be nominated for the Best Tape Award at the Golden Melody Awards.
Finally returning to the song of this song, Jaylen's strength is that no matter how well the MV is shot and how well the lyrics are written, it will not steal the limelight of his song, and the arrangement of this song, Jaylen did not use the three royal arrangements, but personally wrote the work. This also shows Jaylen, the pure fire of the arrangement of the foundation, the arrangement of this song is also widely regarded as Jaylen's best arrangement, especially the piano soundtrack is clean and neat, each tone is like a featherless arrow shot out of the bow tight strings, accurate and fierce, straight into the listener's heart penetration is very strong. The simple melody of the chorus part and Jaylen's paradoxical singing method cannot be easily controlled by everyone. A little careless may make you the most beautiful boy in KTV, and finally I can't help but spit on Zhou Dong's "Qilixiang" album that year in the Golden Melody Awards, once again encountered Waterloo, an award was not won, the last time this situation was "Octave Space", which really made me feel incredible, maybe Jaylen, the other song of this album sprayed too fiercely, but Whatever, this still can't stop Jay fans from recognizing this album.
