One person's entertainment

Chapter 95, Annual Sweep

"The next song I recommend is "Nameless People", written and sung by singer Shen Lingyou from his new album "Spark" which will be released on June 6st... It is dedicated to all the ordinary people who stand tall and proud."

After Zhao Xu finished speaking, the director started singing.

He was also listening carefully, because he had to go to work on time today and didn't have time to listen in advance.

At the same time, he had many questions in his mind: what style is this new song? What does "Spark" mean? How much surprise will Shen Lingyou bring to the Chinese music scene this time?

And these questions begin to be answered from this song.

There is only the prelude played on the piano, with its gentle melody and slow rhythm, which makes people relax physically and mentally.

"I am the nameless person on this road

I have no news and no one comments
I have to try my best to get an ordinary script..."

However, when Shen Lingyou's unique voice and soulful singing sounded, Zhao Xu's heart was moved.

Little did he know that this was just the beginning.

"All the twists and turns are just to make a living", "I am a person who has eaten with tears and laughter", "I am the silence of the city background". These true and heart-wrenching lyrics vividly show the tug of war between reality and dreams, and the pain and hardship of struggling in a city full of high-rise buildings.

Yes, Zhao Xu identified it with the correct answer.

Because this is his true portrayal.

In this bustling city, I live silently, keep my head down, work hard, and look forward.

“I just want to touch it with my own hands

Every moment I bend over

Are the wet footprints left behind worth it..."

This sentence deeply moved Zhao Xu. With a figurative action, it completed the questioning of inner values. It can be said to be a shining golden sentence.

Before we know it, the year is already halfway through. What have we gained? And what regrets do we have?
For him, it was a year that is hard to describe in words.

At this point, in the pre-chorus part, the melody line begins to fluctuate greatly. The blending of the scene and the mood brings about a strong emotional resonance, expressing the emotional projection to the "nameless person".

The ups and downs of the melody lines are like the ups and downs of the lives of the little people, and more like their journey back between the city and their hometown, full of drama and twists and turns of thoughts.

This is how emotional resonance is created.

"To all the ordinary people who stand tall and proud
I offer you a glass of wine, nameless person
To your silence and every roar
I wish you to bend your waist and go up the mountain to reach higher places.

Live hard with the sky above your head..."

The chorus comes, but it’s not a particularly uplifting one, but a straight line, just like the life of a small person, who is trying to move forward, which may not necessarily be exciting, nor reach the peak.

For them, they carry heavy burdens and move forward, resisting the unexpected storms of life. They are ordinary and unknown, but they never waste their time, because they are the ones who support their families and the ones who find hope in the cracks between the tall buildings.

This moment.

Zhao Xu's heart, which had been frozen by his own confusion, seemed to have melted.

Is it tears?
He raised his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes, yes, hot tears.

"You come from a village in the south
From rough hands..."

……

"I come from the spring in the north
From looking back at every step..."

……

They come from all corners of the world, and for different dreams, they bid farewell to their hometown, relatives and friends, and walk alone into the bustling city.

They are the concern of their loved ones, the thoughts of their friends, and the people who work hard to pursue their dreams.

They have no names, they are ordinary, but they stand tall and proud.

Zhao Xu couldn't hold it in any longer.

Tears as big as beans rolled down his cheeks.

The lyrics are simple, but they touch people's hearts. The melody is not amazing, but it can make people calm down and listen, bringing people into the scene in the song.

The lyrics of this song come from Tang Tian, ​​the lyricist who lights up the hearts of countless people with his poetic lyrics.

When it comes to the songs she participated in, one name must be mentioned - Qian Lei.

Maybe not many people know or recognize him, but he is a musician as great as Tang Tian.

Tang Tian and Qian Lei can be described as a golden combination, one is good at writing lyrics and the other is good at composing music.

The two of them have collaborated on works such as "The World", "The Lone Brave", "As Wish", "The Nameless Man", "Cage", "Mother and Daughter", etc., allowing everyone to appreciate the unique charm of film and television music, while also demonstrating their own high level of creation.

In an era when songs like "Balala Baby", "Learn to Meow", and "Cram at the Last Minute" are sweeping the Internet, they are two of the few musicians in the mainland music scene who are still dedicated to making music.

Shen Lingyou tried his best and put his heart and soul into singing every song from the original time and space.

Just to not disgrace their work.

At this time, the song came to an end.

"Nameless person, the car is coming

Don't look back if you care too much

Unknown person, the car is starting

Go forward with your dreams."

There are no shocking high notes, no gorgeous techniques, only whispering narration, simple but surging.

The concrete city, the busy streets and the busy urban life make people feel annoyed, but when you take the train to the distant place, there will always be a light on for you.

Shen Lingyou's singing perfectly fits the temperament of the song, telling the ordinariness and greatness of an unknown person, and the progressive layers of emotions are highly infectious.

"Zhao Xu, what are you doing! Hurry up and say your words!"

The voice of the field controller sounded in Zhao Xu's headphones.

"They are the sunshine that turns guidance into a beacon, and the back that writes peace under their feet..."

It can be clearly heard that Zhao Xu's voice at this moment is different from that before the song was played. It sounds a little hoarse and has a heavy nasal tone. Don't worry about it at this time. It's good enough that he can continue to speak the lyrics. Even he himself didn't expect that he would cry like this after listening to a song.

In fact, it's not just him.

Several people in the studio, even if they didn't cry uncontrollably like him, had red eyes.

Of course, there were countless listeners in front of the radio who were touched just like them.

“If you don’t listen, you won’t know there is such a soft spot in your heart, and it will be so deeply moved.”

"It has the power to move people's hearts. Every word touched me."

"Working Man's Song?"

“It’s very emotional and very real.”

"At the beginning, there is a low piano and steady drum beats, and then the electric guitar suddenly appears in the middle, which is like a ray of light appearing in ordinary life."

"As always, you are too good and easily broke through all the defenses in my heart."

Chen Jiantian lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled a smoke ring.

He didn't shed tears, but he was deeply moved.

It can be said that Shen Lingyou’s song “Unknown Person” can be regarded as the annual sweep. After listening to it, everyone feels like they have been caught in the crossfire.
