Chapter 365: Please Forgive My Arrogance

"【Fragile time has arrived, let us pray together.】"

Yuan Hewen and Chen Luo looked at each other in dismay.

Qian Qinglang, however, did not share their sense of immersion.

He simply felt that this line resonated deeply with him, making him think that this kind of cinematic progression of character psychology was absolutely brilliant!

He had also tried writing songs like this, completing both the lyrics and composition independently.

How could such a masterpiece allow trash like Jin Lingling and Fu Hong to participate?

Did they even deserve to!?

And then, the result was naturally a flop.

Yet Qian Qinglang always believed that this type of song was workable.

"A kindred spirit," he sighed once more in his heart.

"Collaborating with a genius like this is definitely more comfortable than with Jin Lingling and Fu Hong!"

Ding! Defection progress loading, current progress 40%.

When the chorus of "In the Name of the Father" rang out, Qian Qinglang's progress bar instantly soared, directly doubling.

"Starting the chorus in the form of a prayer!" He felt this was simply a stroke of genius.

The singing spread, clearly having undergone individual vocal harmony processing.

"【Merciful Father, I have fallen into a kingdom where sins cannot be seen,

Please forgive my arrogance.】"

"【No one can say, no one can speak, it is so hard to bear,

Behind the glory is carved a loneliness.】"

At that time, when this song had just finished recording, the first to hear the complete version was Diva Xu.

Among these lyrics, when Xu Chujing heard them for the first time, the first thing she noticed was the last line—【Behind the glory is carved a loneliness】.

She would think of the *Masked Singer* grand finale stage, think of that mask, think of thousands of people shouting "Reveal your face," and think of his helplessness at that moment.

Perhaps, in this world, she was the only one who would stubbornly believe that Luo Mo was lonely at that moment, and that he was misunderstood.

This, too, was the most unique thing about Luo Mo to Xu Chujing.

It was just that she could hear some different meaning in this line, while others certainly could not.

Falling into the ears of others, they would probably think it was high-level bragging.

So braggy, too braggy!

When many listeners heard this line, what was the first thought that popped into their minds?

——"I want to use this as my personal signature!"

After the first chorus ended, a female operatic chant began to appear again.

This transition still gave people a feeling of being in an open space.

The imagery was still very strong, as if one were alone in a grand Church, standing before a statue of a deity.

This feeling was clearly divine and holy.

Even the foreign language content of the lyrics was: "Merciful Jesus, please forgive the sins of the world and grant them rest."

But who could have imagined that right after the line 【Grant them rest】, everyone present immediately heard an extremely sudden sound that made their hair stand on end and their hearts tremble!

It was an extremely loud, sudden……..

——Five consecutive gunshots!

………

………

"【Bang bang bang bang bang——】"

Five gunshots, very continuous, as if someone were holding a gun and decisively fired five shots in one breath!

This formed an extremely sharp contrast with the preceding female operatic chant!

You must know that nowadays, people can post bullet comments while listening to songs, like on Penguin Music, which has this function.

Presumably, if one were to open the song's bullet comments at this moment, they would be overwhelmed by words of shock, and—ah, I'm dead!

Everyone had agreed to shut up and listen to the song, but Jin Lingling really couldn't help it.

"There are still people who arrange music like this?"

This technique is certainly very common in movies.

A strong, contradictory sense of contrast makes one feel instantly satisfied.

But when applied to a song, it makes people feel it is very high-class.

Especially the connection after the gunshots, which was also very smooth.

It immediately returned to the Rap section, beginning to repeat the previous content.

And the content after the gunshots was:

"【Lower your head and kiss my left hand,

To exchange for the promise of being forgiven.】"

A strong sense of satisfaction came rushing toward them!

The feeling of a gangster boss could be said to be extremely three-dimensional.

This song was different from "The Seventh Chapter of the Night"; the B-section lyrics contained a large amount of repetition, almost no different from the A-section lyrics.

Yet for some reason, even though it was repeated content, if one said this was a movie, then he seemed to be singing as two different characters.

By the end of the song, another technique appeared.

——The layering of Rap and Singing.

This technique is very common in the songs of Zhou Jielun, and the chorus of "The Seventh Chapter of Night" is the same.

It's just that if most people's songs use this pattern, the feeling it gives people isn't necessarily comfortable.

This places extremely high requirements on composition and Arranger.

Yet Zhou Jielun has turned this technique into one of his personal labels.

Of course, there are others in the music scene who also play this technique to perfection.

That is—Phoenix Legend.

After all, the Rap of AKA Grassland Bandit Ceng Yi is really no joke...

It's just that in terms of flavor, it is a completely different flavor.

At this very moment, in the final part of "In the Name of the Father", that sharp female high-pitched voice emerges once again.

This is equivalent to a triple overlay.

"【Closing my eyes, I see it again,"

"(The mottled family crest wiped for a whole night),"

"The scene of that dream from back then,"

"(The lonely radiance, the feeling only then understood).】"

Listening to this pattern, Lyricist Qian Qinglang suddenly realized something.

"Maybe it really is two people!"

"Is it possible that the godfather at the beginning and the godfather at the end are not the same person?"

"But rather... an Inheritance!?"

He didn't know if his guess was correct.

However, his defection progress bar seemed to be almost full.

As the song ended, Yuan Hewen's throat felt a bit dry, and he asked: "Does anyone have anything they want to say?"

As a result, for a moment, no one spoke.

………

………

The release of "In the Name of the Father" can be said to have made the so-called Dark Trilogy even more deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Two songs with similar techniques but completely different styles have garnered extremely high popularity.

After listening, countless people couldn't figure out what exactly was inside Luo Mo's brain.

How did he come up with such high-level and advanced creations?

This type of song is also unique in the Blue Star music scene.

You won't find a second Singer with such works!

The lyrics are like the thread of the whole song, the composition is like the skeletal frame of the whole song, and the Arranger is the soul of the whole song!

There are too many details in the entire song, so many that that group of people from the Beijing Songwriter Association are a bit reluctant to deconstruct this song.

Yes, this group of people, under the call of Lv Yi, started holding exchange meetings again.

The task is the same as last time: to deconstruct the entire song.

Not to mention, since the establishment of the Beijing Songwriter Association, the time they gained the most popularity was when they released the deconstruction of "The Seventh Chapter of Night" last week...

A group of netizens praised them as Great Gods in the comments.

Many people have been in the industry for many years, and this was the first time they had heard so many people call them Great Gods.

And the reason wasn't because of their own creations, but because they deconstructed someone else's song.

"A huge project, no smaller than 'The Seventh Chapter of Night'!" someone sighed.

"Brother Lv, are you really not going to abdicate and let our new emperor Luo Mo ascend the throne?"

"Hurry up, I feel that if Luo Mo is not in the Beijing Songwriter Association, this association is unworthy of its name."

"What unworthy of its name!? What the hell are you talking about, this is clearly existing in name only!"

Upon hearing this, Lv Yi was not angry.

He just sighed and said: "You don't really think that if I am willing to give up the position of president to him, he will find it rare and join, do you?"

Everyone sighed along with him upon hearing this.

A group of old men just kept sighing one after another like this.

These days, it's so hard to find a Boss to follow.

Among this group, there are several people whom Tong Shu and Li Junyi would have to respectfully call 'Teacher' upon seeing.

These two kids probably never dreamed that they were coveting their positions.

Everyone's thoughts were very unified: "If Luo Mo were in the association, such exchange meetings would only then have meaning!"

Someone even started a commotion and expressed their stance: "I can swear, if Luo Mo comes to be the president, if the exchange meetings are held in foot bath shops or clubs in the future, I will be the first to disagree!"

——I am willing to quit for him!

——I want to improve so badly!

………

………

The deconstruction of "In the Name of the Father", as this group expected, was a super huge project.

It wasn't until the evening that they still hadn't finished tinkering with it.

You must know that among this group, there are several well-known 'quick-shooters' in the industry, the kind of people who write at least three-digit numbers of songs a year.

These people usually don't spend that much time writing a song.

However, after the finished product came out, everyone sat down and listened to it together, and only felt a sense of full accomplishment.

"This is simply art!" someone praised.

There is so much to learn from this.

Especially for those songwriters who have studied genres like classical music, string music, opera, and Rap.

Stones from other hills may serve to polish the jade of this one.

But this is jade from another hill.

Just studying it is enough to benefit immensely.

Most importantly, they went to check the overall data for the song.

For a song they considered even a bit too high-brow and too ahead of its time, its various metrics were ridiculously high!

Judging by the current trend, it is temporarily tied at a fifty-fifty split with "Too Understand" by Chen Luo and the God of Wealth Trio.

But in terms of its significance to the entire music scene, Chen Luo and the others are continuing a style, achieving new success within their own areas of expertise.

Whereas Luo Mo, this trendsetter, has started leading the trend once again.

Upon hearing this, Lv Yi said, "Actually, after listening to the whole song, what touched me most deeply was the spirit of Luo Mo, a young man of only 25."

Yes, this is a work with spirit.

After all, Zhou Jielun was only 24 when he wrote this song.

"An intro of over a minute; how many established artists would dare to play like that?" Lv Yi said.

"And this kind of bold creation, this bold style."

"He is confident; this person is too confident."

"Confident to the point that... it immediately made me think of the lyrics in his song."

"【Please forgive my arrogance】."
