Chapter 33: Writing a Nursery Rhyme for My Daughter
Chen Hao snapped out of his focused creative state, glanced at the time in the lower right corner of his computer screen, and realized it was almost noon.
My stomach growled at just the right moment.
He saved the document and turned off the computer.
I went to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator to take a look.
Let's keep lunch simple, I'll be eating alone.
He took out two eggs, a small handful of noodles, a few green vegetables, and some leftover minced meat from yesterday.
His masterful culinary skills allow him to make even a simple bowl of minced meat and egg noodles taste delicious.
Boil water, cook noodles, and blanch vegetables.
In a separate pot, stir-fry the minced meat and eggs, season, and make a topping.
Take the noodles out of the water, top them with greens and plenty of toppings, and then pour a spoonful of hot soup over them.
The aroma is tangy.
He brought his noodles to the restaurant and ate them quietly by himself.
The taste was naturally excellent, and it warmed my stomach.
I cleaned up the dishes and put them in the dishwasher.
He had used his brain a lot in the morning, so he went back to the master bedroom, lay down on the big bed, and prepared to take a nap.
With my eyes closed, the melody of "Starlight and Dust" still echoed in my mind, along with the vague idea of writing a nursery rhyme for my daughter.
As I pondered these thoughts, my consciousness gradually faded, and I fell asleep.
After sleeping for about half an hour, Chen Hao woke up naturally.
My spirits have recovered considerably.
Looking at the time, it's a little past one in the afternoon.
There are still two or three hours before I can pick up my daughter.
He recalled a thought that had flashed through his mind that morning when he was writing a song for Lin Caiwei—he should also write a song for his daughter.
A cute, cheerful nursery rhyme that she can hum along to.
Just do it.
He sat down at the piano again.
To write children's songs, the first thing you need is the lyrics.
It should be simple and easy to understand, full of childlike fun and imagination, and preferably have a little bit of meaning or a beautiful wish.
His masterful literary skills made it easy for him to compose lyrics for children's songs.
He thought about his daughter's adorable appearance; she loved origami, drawing, listening to stories from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and small animals... Inspiration bubbled up like a spring.
He picked up a pen and paper (feeling that writing with a pen would give him a better feel for the song) and began to write down the song title: "Sisi's Rainbow Bridge".
Next are the lyrics:
(First paragraph)
The sun kisses the little kitten, the breeze embraces the little green grass.
My world is so wonderful, my dad runs with me.
Fold a paper crane and let it fly, draw a rainbow and hang it high.
All my worries disappeared because I had my father's embrace.
(refrain)
La la la, Daddy is a rainbow bridge,
One end is tied to dreams, the other to laughter.
As I walked across the rainbow bridge, the stars winked at me.
Grandma Moon said that Sisi is a good baby.
(Second paragraph)
The little elf in the story secretly winked at me.
My father told me about the wondrous journey of the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
Brave little Sisi is not afraid of any difficulties.
Because of my father's big hand, I took him to see the ends of the earth.
(Chorus repeated)
La la la, Daddy is a rainbow bridge,
One end is tied to dreams, the other to laughter.
As I walked across the rainbow bridge, the stars winked at me.
Grandma Moon said that Sisi is a good baby.
(end)
Rainbow bridge, oh rainbow bridge, I know my father's love.
Every day is sweet, like the taste of rainbow candy!
After finishing the lyrics, Chen Hao read them over and was very satisfied.
It is full of childlike innocence and fatherly love, vividly depicting scenes and easy to remember and sing.
[Ding! Lyrics for a children's song filled with childlike fun and fatherly love have been created. Literary experience +165.]
Next came composing the music.
Nursery rhymes should have simple, catchy melodies, be easy to remember, and have a strong rhythm.
He now possesses master-level musical skills; writing a children's song is a piece of cake for him.
He first conceived the framework of the melody in his mind.
C major, 4/2 time, a lively rhythm.
The melody of the verse is gentle and warm, like a story being told.
The "la la la" part of the chorus should be cheerful and upbeat, with a bouncy feel, making it easy to sing along.
With fingers resting on the piano keys, a smooth, lively, and sunny melody flows from the fingertips almost without pause.
As he played, he hummed the lyrics softly, adjusting the notes and rhythm to perfectly blend the lyrics and music.
"The sun kisses the little kitten, the wind hugs the little grass..." The melody is light and lively, as if you can see the scene of playing in the sun.
"La la la, Daddy is a rainbow bridge..."
In the chorus, he used continuous staccato notes and syncopated rhythms to make the melody rise and fall like a rainbow, full of joy. The final note rises, carrying boundless anticipation.
[Ding! Composing music for a children's song. The melody is appealing to children and has a captivating quality. Music experience +188.]
[Ding! The lyrics and music are harmoniously matched, and the rhythm is catchy and easy to remember. Experience +175.]
With the basic structure of the piece complete, Chen Hao began to play the piano accompaniment while singing the entire song, "Sisi's Rainbow Bridge."
His masterful musical skills combined with his proficient singing skills make him captivating even when singing children's songs.
His voice became exceptionally gentle and clear, filled with laughter and affection, perfectly conveying the sweetness and joy in the lyrics.
[Ding! Performed an original children's song with sincere and heartfelt emotion. Singing experience +68.]
[Ding! Conveying fatherly love and joy through singing, experience +82.]
After finishing the song, Chen Hao himself was infected by the happiness emanating from it, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
He believed that Sisi would definitely like this song.
"Alright, both songs are finished." Chen Hao closed the piano lid, thinking to himself.
Having sheet music and singing a cappella isn't enough; you also need to record a decent audio file.
Tomorrow I can buy some simple recording equipment, set up a small recording studio at home, and record both songs.
Then upload it to a music platform and see the reaction.
Even if I don't make much money right now, at least I'll leave behind some work, or... what if Lin Caiwei hears it someday?
Looking at the time, it's almost time.
Time to pick up my daughter.
He quickly tidied himself up, changed into his outdoor clothes, grabbed his car keys and phone, and left the residence.
Take the elevator down to the underground parking garage and get in the car.
It starts, drives out of the residential area, and merges into the afternoon traffic.
His proficient driving skills made the journey easy and enjoyable, and he could even think about what delicious food to cook for his daughter that evening.
[Ding! Performed daily pick-up and drop-off driving, driving experience +45.]
Soon, the car arrived near St. John's International Bilingual Kindergarten.
After finding a spot to park, Chen Hao got out of the car and walked to the kindergarten entrance.
A number of parents who came to pick up their children have already gathered here, and most of them look to be from well-off families.
Chen Hao stood in the crowd, inconspicuous.
He turned his gaze toward the kindergarten gate and waited patiently.
After a while, the kindergarten teachers organized the children from each class to line up and walk out in an orderly manner.
