Chapter 828: Classics Flow Forever (Part 2)

Although when looking at the comments, Seeing Wen Xia seemed quite angry at Luo Quan's behavior.

However, when eating late-night snacks in the evening, she still came to knock on the door and called her out, and her expression didn't have anything special.

Obviously, she just treated this matter on the internet as a joke, although it was indeed quite embarrassing in front of fans, but thinking about it, this is not a point of attracting fans.

So she didn't take it too much to heart.

Although when the two were young, that non-mainstream

But who hasn't pulled some stunts in their youth? It's just that theirs were exposed.

Moreover, the focus of this discussion isn't on the non-mainstream, but on Luo Quan's new song.

Judging from her description, tomorrow's new song should be electronic, a genre Luo Quan rarely sings.

However, when Li Yuan held a concert at Madison Square Garden before, she performed two electronic tracks and served as a DJ for a while.

And those two electronic tracks were also very good.

It might not sound like the memory is particularly deep, but old fans actually know that Luo Quan's first English song, which was also the first song that made her famous worldwide, was electronic.

What song was the most popular in that summer of 2016?

Japanese netizens might say "Lemon," "I Once Thought About Ending It All," or "Don't Give Up."

These were the Japanese songs Luo Quan sang when she debuted; as soon as they were released, they swept the Oricon charts and became the most popular pop music in Japan.

But for music fans around the world, the most popular song of 2016 was definitely "Faded."

That female voice, clear and ethereal to the extreme, has been imitated ever since, but never surpassed.

Many music fans, upon hearing those familiar piano notes and "Where are you now," cannot help but recall that summer of 2016, and recall that voice that seemed to come from a distant celestial realm.

This is the track that truly launched Luo Quan, and it holds a special meaning in the hearts of many fans.

And with another electronic track coming out this time, everyone is quite expectant.

They hope she can sing another song with the same feeling as "Faded."

However, the reason a classic can become a classic is because of its irreproducibility, so while everyone holds expectations, they also understand that it is very likely they won't hear a second "Faded."

But would Luo Quan let her fans down?

Obviously not.

Although it's not "Faded," what she brought is an electronic masterpiece that is just as good and makes you tap your feet.

And it was released early at noon the next day; according to custom, two songs are usually released every day.

But before, it was to build momentum, so it was one song a day; now is the normal situation.

And the fifth song is equivalent to a summary of the first half of the album, which is usually very heavyweight.

In short, tonight and tomorrow night are quite worth looking forward to.

However, the fans have no other mind to consider things for tonight and tomorrow right now.

Because the new song "The Nights" released by Luo Quan at noon has already made their brains unable to hold anything else. (Please note: original singer Avicii)

The foot-tapping level of this song is simply the best among the songs Luo Quan has released over the years; I have never seen an electronic track that can drive the atmosphere better than this one.

When the chorus sing-along starts, it makes one unable to help but want to shake their head and get hyped along with it.

As an electronic track, it undoubtedly carried out its mission to the limit.

I can only say that Luo Quan is truly confident in her own songs.

If she says it can be played on repeat, then it definitely can be played on repeat.

If she says it can get you hyped to the heavens, then it really can get you hyped to the heavens.

And the one getting hyped is not just the music fans, but also Li Yuan.

In fact, every time his sister releases a new song, he buys it immediately and plays it on repeat for a long time.

However, compared to the soothing love songs his sister sings, he prefers songs with a brighter melody and a stronger rhythm.

Perhaps this has to do with his impetuous personality.

But after practicing martial arts, he has actually improved a lot in controlling his impetuousness.

Because his sister has often warned him that the one thing a martial artist must not have is impatience.

Once impatient, it is easy to suffer a Qi deviation.

In novels, a Qi deviation might mean Qi flowing in reverse, vomiting blood, and getting injured.

But in reality, if you suffer a Qi deviation, you might develop anxiety or cardiac neurosis.

These are prone to bringing people a sense of impending death, greatly affecting the quality of life, and in the long run, it is also easy to lead to endocrine disorders and the like.

Although there is no danger to life, the impact on daily work is still very large.

And if it is too serious, you won't even be able to sleep peacefully at night, let alone practice martial arts; even with a slightly larger movement, your heart will jump as if it's about to pop out of your brain.

Having understood the seriousness of a Qi deviation, Li Yuan is also consciously cultivating his character.

Regarding these things, Mia, who has been studying Chinese classic ancient books, gave Li Yuan quite a few suggestions, telling him to read more Daoist works headed by the Tao Te Ching, and to properly understand what is meant by "quietude and non-action."

Currently, Li Yuan is working hard to achieve quietude; as for non-action, he has not yet reached such a high level.

Or rather, no one in this house has such a level.

After Luo Quan's new song came out at noon, it definitely wouldn't be quiet today.

Li Yuan directly played "The Nights" in the living room, and the 360-degree surround sound system roared to its heart's content.

Anyway, it's a big villa in the suburbs, and there are no neighbors for dozens of miles, so no one will complain if the volume is turned up.

Then he twisted his butt in the living room alone, getting incredibly hyped.

Mia couldn't help but laugh on the side, while taking out her phone to record her boyfriend's funny appearance.

Although Li Yuan's dance skills are not bad, at a time like this, there is certainly no technique to speak of; he is just purely shaking his body, dancing along with the rhythm and melody.

At this moment, Li Yuan is like a roast duck in a display window, spinning around to show customers his plumpness.

Of course, in the eyes of Luo Quan and Mia, it might be very funny.

But in the eyes of fans, this is a quite handsome posture; they would probably scream and call him "husband."

Actually, Li Yuan is handsome no matter what he does; after all, female fan filters are usually quite heavy.

This is still the result after filtering once Li Yuan started dating.

Those who can still stay now are all Li Yuan's true fans, and they are also very rational.

But in other words, that means the purity is higher.

However, Mia recorded the video without any intention of posting it online.

Why would she want to share her boyfriend's cute appearance with other women?

This is Mia's inner thought.

As for Luo Quan, she also went upstairs after watching for a while.

There is another song to be released tonight, so she might as well take this time to finish editing the last bit of audio.

Time passed bit by bit in the anticipation of Luo Quan's fans.

When eight o'clock arrived, the new song "Take Me to Church" went online on time. (PS: original singer Hozier, highly recommended)

Ten minutes after this song went online, there were almost thousands of tweets on Twitter in an instant, and the subsequent tweets were still growing rapidly.

As the most anticipated album from the beginning of 2020 until now.

Luo Quan had not released any pop music before.

The first song was African style, then R&B, and electronic.

And pop, which has the largest audience and is the hardest to please, only appeared until now.

And the song "Take Me to Church" indeed lived up to the fans' expectations; the structure of the whole song is almost perfect.

It not only possesses a catchy and brainwashing melody, but the arrangement also incorporates religious elements, making it seem quite high-end.

The most critical thing is that the lyrics are written very well, feeling just like a poet's poetry, rich in artistic and philosophical flavor.

This is actually quite rare abroad.

In fact, many Chinese people don't understand English and think foreign song lyrics are very good.

Actually, many English songs revered as classics don't have lyrics any more high-end than "Can't Afford It."

What they are actually talking about is still those things of "you love me, I love you."

But "Take Me to Church" uses words that are clearly much more high-end, incorporating quite a lot of thinking.

So much so that after the song came out, while fans were shouting about the birth of a masterpiece, they also suspected that Luo Quan had been stimulated by something in the UK.

As everyone knows, the religious atmosphere in the UK is actually very strong.

Although the British also believe in God, the country has its own church, which does not belong to the same unit as the one in the Vatican.

In this atmosphere, the behavior of believers is very conservative.

Especially in the area of love, it is even more incomparably oppressive.

It is said that the wife of Prince Salish, Princess Anna, died for this reason.

Princess Anna announced that she was with a Middle Eastern tycoon not long after divorcing Prince Salish.

The deadly part is, if the two gave birth to a child, the future King of England would call this child a younger brother or sister.

The key lies in the fact that the British royal family must all believe in religion and represent the power of the Church of England.

It would be one thing if Princess Anna just divorced, but now she actually wants to marry a pagan; if that really happened, would that be acceptable?

If this were in the Middle Ages, it would definitely be the rhythm of being sent to the stake.

Although her ending in the end was not much better, being chased by paparazzi, speeding through the streets in a sports car, and finally both she and her fiancé lost their lives.

It seems to be the paparazzi's fault and an accident, but those in the know are clear about why such an accident happened.

In view of this, the impression the UK gives in this regard is indeed not very good.

Religion, love, oppression, freedom—these are all words that are frequently mentioned.

Luo Quan stayed there for such a period of time, perhaps she had some insights and thus wrote such a song, which is quite reasonable.

Especially since this song indeed has quite a lot of religious elements in it, which further corroborates this point.

But regardless of the motivation, the quality of this song is extremely high.

The lyrics, composition, and arrangement are the best of the best; it is no exaggeration to say it is the most outstanding pop music of 2020 so far.

On the Billboard charts, it has already debuted at number fifteen.

And it advances one spot every two minutes.

When it entered the top ten, the speed of the ranking growth even became a bit faster.

It is obvious that the trending search on Twitter has allowed the word-of-mouth to start fermenting, and more and more music fans are coming to inquire, wanting to listen to this new song from the highly-rated album.

After listening, they would immediately exclaim that Luo Quan's production level has improved again; she is truly becoming more and more excellent.

However, according to custom, this will definitely not be the most awesome song on her album.

She usually puts the most awesome ones in the fifth and last spots.

Fans were also excitedly asking her questions at this time:

"Will you bring us a surprise tomorrow night? And what kind of surprise will this be?"

Luo Quan is sometimes tight-lipped, but at a time like this, there is no need for the Director of the Secret Service to possess her, so she answered straightforwardly:

"The song tomorrow night will definitely not let everyone down, and it will be a song with an MV.

In addition, as for the style, I can also clearly tell everyone that it is a piece of classical-style music."

Classical—just hearing it makes people feel it is very extraordinary.

Luo Quan's previous classical-style piece was "Time to Say Goodbye," which has already been certified by the Vienna Music Association as a world-class classic and has been sung more than once in the Vienna Musikverein.

Besides "Time to Say Goodbye," the other few classical instrumental pieces are all classics among classics, the kind that can be passed down for generations.

It is a pity that although the Musikverein has always wanted to invite the original author to perform here.

Luo Quan has declined on the grounds of being busy with work.

It is mainly because she doesn't want to fly to Vienna specifically to perform one song.

This time, after such a long time, Luo Quan has another classical piece to be released.

It is foreseeable that it will definitely be another major event that can cause a sensation in the music scene.

They say that art should be appreciated by both the refined and the popular, and music has no hierarchy.

But in many people's hearts, classical music is just more high-end and more powerful than pop music.

Don't ever say that classical music was also pop music hundreds of years ago.

Classical is a musical style; no matter when it is placed, it is classical.

And current pop music will only be pop even after ten thousand years; there is an essential difference between the two.

Moreover, the complexity of the melody of classical music is not something that pop music can compare to.

Of course, ordinary people definitely cannot understand the technical content in this; only those who have studied music will be clear about it.

However, Luo Quan has never had any interest in participating in these debates.

She has always felt that as long as music can bring people happiness and soothe emotions, that is enough.

As for whether it is high-end or not, that has never been a point she cares about.

If she really wanted to pursue high-end, she would have written symphonies long ago.

Having said that, the fifth song she prepared this time is a piano piece.

First of all, the difficulty of the piece is very high, and the span between melodies is extremely large, because the musician who created it himself had a pair of extraordinary large hands.

He created songs based on his own conditions, but when later pianists wanted to perform them, they found that it seemed very difficult to match them in terms of hardware.

So for the creator, the song was very simple, but for others, wanting to perform it became incomparably difficult.

But setting aside the difficulty, the melody of this piano piece is truly very pleasant and beautiful.

It is most suitable for listening when it is quiet, with each note ringing in the ears, as if flowing into the heart like a trickling stream, making people feel comfortable and peaceful from body to mind.

This is the musical enjoyment Luo Quan wants to bring to her fans.

Whether the fans can truly get it, it will depend on tomorrow's response.

"Has it started?"

Luo Quan sat by the piano and asked Seeing Wen Xia next to her.

Since they agreed to shoot an MV, this is the work Luo Quan needs to do now.
