Perfect Life

After school in the afternoon, on the roof of the teaching building of No. 13 Middle School.

Li Qian strummed the guitar slightly jerky, trying hard to find the feeling of "Love Me or Not".

This "Love You" is not the "Love Me" that he was familiar with in his last life, and it is not rock at all, just an ordinary popular love song. According to the playback frequency of roadside video stores, This year should be quite hot.

The song is well written, the lyrics are top-notch, and the melody is excellent. In the current era, it has all the aptitudes to be popular, not to mention the song by the famous singer Huang Yuqing.

Although it is unfamiliar, but after practicing several times according to the chords that I have re-arranged, I gradually become proficient.

Of course, he knows that just being familiar with it is not enough. To use it as his own performance song, he must be extremely skilled, at least it can be done easily.

And "Love Me or Not" is just the beginning.

After listening carefully to the tapes in his hand several times, Li Qian selected some songs that he could sing and should be able to sing well. Then, he made guitar arrangements one by one, and was ready to master them all over the next few hours.

And next, he also plans to expand the range of listening to songs, and then slowly select some songs to fill in, and finally form his own music library with a total number of about 20 to 30 songs.

Only then can he talk about finding a place to be a resident singer.

There is no doubt that this is not something that can be rushed.

Because...the song is not easy to choose.

Those familiar songs in the previous life, including those he wrote by himself, he is not going to take out at this time. The prevention of plagiarism is one of the most important things. It's impossible to get in at all, but he himself has no plans to form a band at the moment. Therefore, he can only choose some downstream bars and some mid-range restaurants to perform in the future. If he is performing in these places, it is a must to sing some familiar songs.

Of course, a familiar song must be sung a little new.

But the problem is, it is not an easy task to choose a song that suits your appetite and that you can grasp among the songs in this world.

According to the gradual in-depth understanding these days, Li Qian has roughly understood the current situation of the domestic music market.

Because the reform and opening up in this time and space is much earlier than the time and space that Li Qian once experienced, many changes have taken place in the domestic music market.

At present, it is not the folk songs and opera arias that occupy the mainstream in the domestic music market, and even the status of rock has declined a lot. Pop love songs, campus ballads, personal feelings, sweet songs, including electronic music and other sub-categories, all have their own representatives and masterpieces. Like national folk songs, opera records, rock and roll, they have begun to flourish, and even some The R&B genre has begun to appear.

It can be said that the entire market is moving step by step towards the blossoming of a hundred flowers.

From this point of view, the domestic music in this time and space is much more developed than the domestic music in 1995 in the time and space that I once experienced.

But here's the problem... this is 1995 after all.

The times are progressing, and so is the music.

Actually, there are not many songs that can really be a hit, and that can be sung and loved for decades. As far as Li Qian's previous life is concerned, including the music of Baodao and Xiangjiang, the works of the entire Chinese music circle are added together, and they are still considered classic songs in the second decade of the 21st century. , how many can there be? And how many years and how many songs did they come from the big waves?

How many songs were there in the past, and I liked them very much, but when I listened to them again after a few years or more than ten years, my first reaction was: This song is really earthy and outdated!

Therefore, after experiencing the influence of the more mature and more diverse music development in the previous life, Li Qian could not find the feeling of liking many of the songs that are very popular among the audience of this era.

In fact, Li Qian was ready to go back and ask Wang Jinglu for a playlist.

Maybe she can recommend some good songs?

The two sisters are professionals!

After practicing "Love Me or Not" six or seven times in one breath, and initially found some feelings, Li Qian stopped to take a sip of water and rested for a while, and then he turned to the next page of his "playing herbs" .

……

After school, Qi Jie stayed in the office as usual.

She opened her laptop and went online to find the book she hadn't read yesterday. She was about to read it when she suddenly heard a familiar guitar sound.

Yes, after a few floors, when the guitar sound reaches the office, the sound is really small and ethereal. If it is not because the environment is extremely quiet, if you are not careful, you may not even be able to hear it. arrive. But Qi Jie heard it right away—it was just a simple pluck, not even a tune!

With a hula, she stood up in surprise.

Without any hesitation at all, she closed the notebook with a snap, and walked out the door.

Still the same place, she took out her handkerchief and wiped the steps, then sat down carefully.

After sitting down, she wanted to laugh a little.

"What's the matter?" she asked herself, "It's as if I couldn't hear him sing one day, so I felt like I was missing a big piece of the day! I was very happy when I heard a little movement, and I hurried over to listen..."

Thinking about it, she couldn't help teasing herself in her heart, "Probably the ladies and wives of the past, that's what they enjoyed? Have someone sing face-to-face! This is much more advanced than listening to tapes and CDs! It's just that the people who sing don't know that more people are eavesdropping..."

Today, the guitar on the roof was a little messy and jerky, and it was played continuously for seven or eight minutes, and then the singing started to cut in. After listening to a few words, Qi Jie recognized it. "Do you love me".

For Qi Jie, who is used to sitting here every day to listen to songs for half an hour, and has listened to it at least a dozen times, she suddenly felt a little excited when she heard a song that she was familiar with. Knowing that she had heard people upstairs sing no less than thirty songs before, but she had never heard one of them, which made her almost wonder if she had been eliminated by this era.

However, this excitement only lasted for a minute or two.

It is undeniable that although it sounds like he is really just practicing, he seems a little unfamiliar with the song and the chords of the guitar. In short, it doesn't feel very smooth to the listener, but he still sings very well.

Qi Jie didn't understand music, but she felt that the person upstairs should have a very good voice, and he was very good at using his own voice, high pitch, low pitch, true and false pitch, all of which were effortless, and he was completely at ease. And when you listen to him sing, it's easy to feel the right amount of emotion he puts into the song, into each note.

His voice, together with his feelings and interpretation, make his songs very pleasant.

Although Huang Yuqing's original singing is already very good with Zhuyu in front, but listening to him sing, it still sounds very good.

Or rather, it has a different flavor.

But, that's all.

Qi Jie has long been used to hearing completely different songs every day that she has never heard before. Especially, those songs are still so good! Now I have suddenly changed to the one I am familiar with. As soon as the freshness wears off, I am inexplicably dissatisfied!

Moreover, he sang the song "Love Me or Not" seven or eight times!

Repeated practice!

If it weren't for the fact that he was just "eavesdropping", Qi Jie could hardly help but want to shout to the people upstairs, "Hey, change the song, change the song! I want to listen to those songs you sang before! "

Or - "Refund!"

Thinking of this, Qi Jie couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.

Covering her mouth tightly, she held back her laughter after a long time, but she still made that smile turn red.

Every time I listen to him sing, Qi Jie always feels as if she has suddenly become younger, suddenly returning to those carefree youthful years - even though she is still youthful now!

Stopping her laughter, she sat honestly where she was, raised her hand to support her, and patiently looked forward to the next song from the person upstairs.

Finally, the people upstairs really changed their songs, but this time, it was... "I Love You, Hometown".

It's another song I've heard before and I'm still very familiar with!

"It's so boring today!"

Qi Jie, who had already been fed up with an appetite, could only helplessly shake her head, and she couldn't accept it in her heart.

Of course, he still sang very nicely. Compared with the original song, the rhythm has changed to a certain extent, and it doesn't look like a folk song. It seems that a strange but very interesting melody has been added, which makes the whole song suddenly change. , full of fun.

Anyway, it's very novel.

So novel that Qi Jie couldn't help but think "So this song can still be sung like this".

It was this novel feeling that made her patiently listen to him sing three times in a row.

Then-

"I can't take it anymore, I'm really perfunctory today, I'm leaving the stage!"

She murmured in her heart, but with a brisk smile on her face, she cautiously went downstairs.

Most importantly, it seems that his pursuit of girls did not succeed!

Is this a good thing?

This is a good thing!

Because I can continue to listen to songs in the future!

"I don't believe he will sing these things I've heard every day in the future!" she thought.

……

Today's songs are very raw, and the practice time is a little longer unconsciously. By the time Li Qian returned home, it was almost dark, and the meals cooked by Li Ma were already getting cold.

Waiting for Li Qian to take a bath, Li Ma reheated the food and served it on the table, and the family had dinner.

After dinner, Li Ma didn't care about washing the dishes, so she soaked the tableware and chopsticks in the sink, washed her hands and sat down to watch TV series, while Li's father sat in his study for a while, and then ran to Li. There was a knock on the door of Qian's bedroom.

Pushing open the door and entering, he saw that Li Qian was really serious about reviewing his homework, and he had the worst grades in Russian, and a smile of relief and satisfaction appeared on his face.

"Dad, is something wrong?" Li Qian asked.

Dad Li said, "Well, there's nothing else, just come and see what you're doing!"

Li Qian pouted, "Isn't it, we have already agreed on the terms, and we still need to supervise?"

Dad Li glanced at him disdainfully, "Supervising you? Che, you have been in school for so many years, and your grades have been better or worse. When did Dad supervise you?"

"That's right!" Li Qian thought about it and said, "So...is there really something wrong?"

Dad Li paused and asked, "Well, Xiao Qian, do you have any other works recently?"

Li Qian frowned and asked in confusion, "New work? No, Dad, aren't you against me doing this?"

Hearing this, Dad Li quickly waved his hand and explained very seriously: "Dad is not against your making music, Dad is only against your taking music as your main business... I don't understand this? As for what you like to write songs and lyrics, etc., Dad is still very supportive! That, um, like the lyric of your last song, "Dark Fragrance", that lyric is okay! You are a high school student, only seventeen years old, you can write that The mood has come, it is already very good! Since you are good at this and like this, you must continue to work hard!"

Li Qian clapped his brows: Yes, I understand now!

Dad means that lyrics are another form of poetry. You can write more!

He thought about it and said, "Dad, I'm afraid you won't be very interested in the songs I wrote."

Dad Li's eyes lit up and said, "That's not necessarily true. Let's hear it."

Li Qian hesitated for a moment, grabbed an exercise book, flipped it to the back, tore off a piece of white paper, and tried to write with a pen, but stopped there. After hesitating for a moment, he put down the pen and turned around and said, "Dad, should I still sing to you?"

Dad Li nodded and said, "Okay," then walked over to the bed and sat down.

Li Qian took the guitar, closed his eyes and recalled for a moment, with some apprehension and some hope, he gently plucked the strings—

"Be a happy man from tomorrow on,

Feeding horses, chopping wood, traveling the world,

From tomorrow onwards, care about food and vegetables,

I have a house, facing the sea, with spring flowers blooming.

From tomorrow, I will communicate with every relative,

tell them my happiness,

That happy lightning told me,

I will tell everyone.

Give every river and every mountain a warm name,

Stranger, I also bless you,

May you have a bright future,

May your lover be married forever,

May you find happiness in this world,

I just want to face the sea and the spring flowers bloom.

…”

Crisp guitar, melodious melody, moving singing.

A beautiful poem.

Li Qian sang very seriously, very seriously, very seriously, very emotionally, very emotionally, very emotionally.

After the whole song was sung, he didn't even dare to open his eyes.

Of course this is Hai Zi's poem.

This is of course one of Li Qian's favorite poems.

In the last life that Li Qian experienced, this poem held a very high status in the hearts of their generation. There are ninety-nine bands and ninety-nine bands and singers who compose music for it in the underground music circle. But in the end, none of the works can reach a relatively mature level, not even passing the producer level. Therefore, there are many underground works produced for the composition of this poem, but there is not even a single one that can actually go to the market in the end.

Among those dozens or hundreds of songs "Facing the Sea, Spring Flowers Blossom" that may never be seen, there is a song whose composer is Li Qian.

That was his work when he was in his twenties.

What he sang was a dream of his previous life.

But after singing, he closed his eyes for a long time, and then he suddenly opened his eyes, put down the guitar quickly, did not look at Dad Li's expression, just hurriedly picked up the paper and pen he had prepared just now, and said, "Dad, I To change it, you wait."

Dad Li was stunned, "Oh, good, you change, you change, Dad wait!"

Li Qian took the pen and quickly drew the simplest staff on the white paper, and then quickly wrote the score—just now, in the middle of singing, he suddenly had some other ideas.

Then, that thought was like a spring. When the first clear spring water spewed out, it was no longer under the control of anyone. It spewed out and became a river in the blink of an eye!

A young man in his twenties, with a great love for rock and roll, with a great love for this poem, wrote a smug song after fighting all night, but what he had in his heart at that time was, In addition to enthusiasm, only enthusiasm!

Enthusiasm that burns everything like a fire!

That's the love of rock!

But, facing the sea, the spring flowers are blooming... that's not how you sing!

It can be rocky or lyrical, but it can't be violent or violent!

It should be like a river, flowing, it should be like a lake, the water is wrinkled, it should be a child's heart, pure and transparent, it should be as bright as a dream, the color of a hillside full of flowers, like a dream The color of the pure and pure sea...

Pure joy, transparent kindness, dream-like yearning...

……

I don't know how much time has passed. Li Qian wrote quickly, and Dad Li sat there, motionless.

When Li Qian let out a long breath and turned around, Dad Li's face was full of solemn colors.

"Is it fixed?" he asked.

Li Qian nodded and said, "It's fixed!"

Then, he picked up the guitar, looked back at the score, and gently plucked the strings.

The melody is very simple, with only a few basic rhythms, but it is surprisingly tactful and bright.

Li Qian opened his eyes, smiled, sang, laughed, and shook his body.

But this time, it was Dad Li who closed his eyes.

Singing for the first time, new score, UU reading www.uukanshu.com a little stumbling, but overall smooth.

When the guitar sound fell, Dad Li took a deep breath and opened his eyes.

He reached out and touched several pockets, but he didn't find any cigarettes, his Adam's apple moved slightly, "Hmm, um.", he said.

As he spoke, he nodded slowly.

Um.

The simplest syllable, one word, but when he uttered this word, his face was solemn, and it seemed that he was facing something extremely serious and important, and even made him a little nervous.

For a long time, Li Qian just looked at him.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke, but his voice was a little hoarse, "The second time this is better than the first time!"

Li Qian nodded and smiled.

Dad Li also wanted to laugh, but in the end, he didn't laugh.

"Nice work... What's the name?"

"It's called "Facing the Sea, Spring Blossoms"!" Li Qian said.

Dad Li nodded and said "um" again.

Then, he lowered his head and sat there motionless, as if he was in a daze, and at the same time, he seemed to be meditating.

After a while, he suddenly came back to his senses, made a sound of "um", then stood up, wanted to go, stopped again, took two steps, grabbed the doorknob, turned his back to Li Qian, and said, "Go back to you. Copy the lyrics to me. For works like this, you should write more... well, just don't forget to study."

Then, he stood at the door for a while, finally walked out and closed the door gently.
