366 Barnes: I'll Sing 'In the Name of the Father'
Barnes has two major hobbies in his life: basketball and music.
It's the offseason now, and there are no games, so he can only play music.
But as I played, I got tired of all the music and lost my passion.
I feel like this offseason is so boring.
Now he suddenly heard this completely different music that was a fusion of various styles but was its own genre. The fire of his passion, which was about to be extinguished, seemed to have been poured with a bucket of gasoline, and suddenly it started to surge again.
Even because of the sudden braking, when the vehicle behind him passed him, he angrily cursed: "Sooner or later I will be hit and killed."
He didn't care either.
Instead, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Wang Yi: "Which movie theme song is this?"
Wang Yi secretly shouted in his heart: It’s done!
"In the Name of the Father", which is known as the ceiling of the Chinese music scene, still doesn't believe it can handle you.
Although Barnes can't understand Chinese lyrics, how many people can understand Jay Chou's lyrics?
Although the lyrics of this song are also awesome, the most awesome thing about this song is its arrangement.
The Italian prayer at the beginning and the soprano of the opera painted a grand scene.
Just one intro can dominate the Chinese music scene for twenty years.
Wang Yi smiled and shook his head: "This is not a movie theme song, it is a song, "In the Name of the Father."
"I want to hear the original version."
There was urgency in Barnes' voice.
Like a hungry camel.
Wang Yi smiled.
My brother's evil plan succeeded.
He pointed to the side of the road: "Pull over to the side. It's not a good idea for you to park in the middle of the road. I want to live for a few more days."
Barnes quickly turned his hand back, started the car again, and pulled to the side of the road.
After turning off the engine, he turned back eagerly again: "Show me."
Wang Yi pointed to the seat next to him: "Sit later."
Barnes immediately got out of the car and got into the back seat.
Wang Yi smiled secretly in his heart.
Baby, I can't cure you yet.
Next, Wang Yi and Barnes watched the six-minute music video of "In the Name of the Father" together.
When the scene ended, Barnes turned to Wang Yi excitedly.
"This is the music I'm looking for! This is the music I'm looking for! Thank you, brother!"
Wang Yi chuckled: "I'm not your brother, please call me Wang Yi."
Barnes was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing and laughed loudly: "Okay, Wang Yi..."
He said these two words very awkwardly.
"Wang Yi, you said this is not a movie? I don't believe it. It must be a movie, similar in style to "The Godfather"."
With that said, he turned on his phone and started searching.
Wang Yi shook his head helplessly, leaned back, and put his hands on the headrest of the back seat.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Barnes searched for the movie "In the Name of the Father", and there were quite a few.
But none of them have this song as their theme song, and the style is completely different from this song.
Eventually he admitted it was a song, not a movie.
"Wang Yi, please explain to me the lyrics and the story this song tells. It must be a dark, sad, and helpless confession story."
Wang Yi nodded and began his story.
"A little boy's father was killed by gangsters. He was adopted by a gangster. When he grew up, he became the gangster's right-hand man and fell in love with the gangster's daughter. But he never forgot the revenge of killing his father. In the end, he killed
All the enemies, including the gang boss - his girlfriend's father."
"At the end of the story, he also committed suicide out of guilt for his girlfriend and the guilt of having innocent lives stained on his hands."
At this point, Barnes suddenly slapped his thigh:
"I understand! The revolver is loaded with six bullets. There are five gunshots in the middle of the song, which means that the protagonist has killed five enemies in revenge. There is a gunshot at the end, which means that he kept the last bullet for himself.
Wonderful! So wonderful!"
"This arrangement is really shocking!"
Wang Yi grinned and retracted his leg: "Can you pat your own leg next time?"
"Is this your country's song?"
Wang Yi nodded, quite proudly: "Of course."
"I really didn't expect that there is such music in the world. I didn't know about it before. This song is so wonderful. Was it just released this year? The intro and arrangement are too advanced."
Wang Yi shook his head: "2003, almost twenty years ago."
"What?!"
Barnes looked at Wang Yi in disbelief: "No, you must be kidding. This prelude sounds quite advanced now, and you actually told me it was from twenty years ago? Wang, please tell me, what exactly is it?"
When’s the song?”
Wang Yi shook his head helplessly and opened Google search.
Then he threw the phone to Barnes: "See for yourself."
Barnes took the phone and looked at it carefully.
When I saw the words 2003, I shook my head in disbelief: "Oh Mai Ga - is it really a song from twenty years ago? It's incredible. The composer of this song must be a great master! That singer is so lucky.
If there is no such song, no matter how good he sings, the song will become mediocre."
Wang Yi smiled: "Sorry, the composer is the singer himself."
"ah!?"
Barnes cried out in surprise.
He thought that anyone who could compose such a piece of music must have spent all his energy on composing music and would not have the energy to do anything else.
I didn’t expect that the composer would be this singer.
After repeatedly praising him, Barnes said: "That singer must be a talented person."
Wang Yi nodded: "I finally got it right for once."
Barnes watched the MV again. When the last note fell, his eyes were full of eagerness: "Wang, come home with me now. I have to learn this song. I can't understand Chinese, so you can teach me."
.”
Wang Yi shrugged: "Actually, I don't quite understand the lyrics."
"Wang Yi, please don't embarrass me. I will agree to whatever you ask of me, but only if you teach me this song."
What Wang Yi wants is this sentence from him: "I'll teach you how to sing, and you come with me to find TT Thompson. That's a difficult guy. I can't handle it alone. I need your help."
When Wang Yi spoke, he expressed that Barnes was very important to him.
This is also a conversational skill.
Most people would like to be the one who is needed.
But Barnes is a very smart guy. He saw through Wang Yi's skills at a glance: "Don't play nonsense with me. If you promise to teach me this song, I will try my best to help you convince him. That's it.
.”
Wang Yi's thoughts were transferred to him.
Can a song only help him convince one person?
There are currently seven or eight people who need to be persuaded.
But it doesn’t matter, Jay Chou doesn’t just have this song.
When he likes Jay Chou, he will come up with other songs.
I don’t believe that Barnes is not completely devoted to him.
Chapter completed!
