Inside the room, high-end audio equipment costing more than 5 yuan accurately transmits the sound of each instrument and the singer's voice.

[...Don't cry, let the fireflies take you away

Countryside ballads, eternal support

Go home, back to the original beauty...】

As the song sounded, Mu Xiaobai gradually became intoxicated by it, and his body couldn't help but sway gently to the melody.

After the first chorus ended, the sounds of the bamboo flute and cicadas that had briefly disappeared reappeared, and then Ye Zhiqiu's singing began.

Don't give up so easily

like i said

If you can't pursue your dream, why not just change it?

Color your life brightly

First paint love with your favorite color】

At this time, Mu Xiaobai was completely attracted by the lyrics of the song.

The lyrics are not fancy, but like a chat and encouragement with old friends, they have a sincerity that goes straight to the heart, and are warm, simple and full of vitality.

The pace of life for modern people is always too fast, and material abundance cannot cover up the inner anxiety and confusion.

This song seems to have a healing magic, which makes people's anxious hearts relax slowly...

When Ye Zhiqiu sang "Favorite Color" in the song, the accompaniment and vocals paused somewhat "abruptly".

Just as Mu Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, the next second, the singing continued.

【Smile, success and fame are not the goal

Make yourself happy, this is the meaning

childhood paper airplane

Now it finally flies back to my hands...】

Holy shit! Hearing this, Mu Xiaobai was so excited that his scalp went numb and he almost cried out.

These "pause" and "re-entry" techniques are common in hip-hop music forms such as rap, and Ye Zhiqiu incorporated them into the song.

Rap music is usually very "explosive", with very strong emotional output in language, but the song "Dawn Fragrance", from the lyrics to the accompaniment, gives people a feeling of warmth and encouragement.

The combination of the two does not feel at all disharmony, which shows the skill of the song's arrangement.

Logically speaking, after the accompaniment pauses and then connects, the song will change its tone - commonly known as a big move.

Should I repeat the chorus now? Mu Xiaobai thought.

However, he guessed wrong again.

The next part is still a "recitation" style of singing.

The so-called happiness

Chasing dragonflies barefoot in the fields until I get tired

I was stung by a bee while stealing fruit. I'm scared.

who is snickering

I leaned against the scarecrow, felt the wind, sang a song, and fell asleep

Oh Oh ~~】

At this time, Mu Xiaobai was completely numb.

He found that none of his predictions about how the song would unfold were correct, but when the correct answer appeared, it gave him a "wonderful" feeling every time.

I can only say that the gap between my level and that of the songwriter is too big...

After all, who would have thought that the elements of the flute, lyrics recitation, hip-hop and folk songs could be harmoniously integrated together?

After the song ended, Mu Xiaobai lay on the chair and let out a long breath.

Good music can bring great enjoyment and positive feedback to the audience, and this song "Rice Fragrance" undoubtedly does that.

At this time, Mu Xiaobai seemed to understand the meaning of Ye Zhiqiu and Yu Caiwei choosing the two songs "Firefly" and "Rice Fragrance" as the first works of the new album.

The theme of this album is "Summer". "Fireflies", "Cicadas' Chirping" and "Rice Fragrance" are all elements that exist in many people's childhood summer memories.

Childhood is a carefree and beautiful time in life, but people gradually lose themselves as they grow up. These two warm songs, with their fresh and bright lyrics and melodies, awaken the beauty in people's hearts.

After a while, Mu Xiaobai controlled the mouse and clicked "Replay" on the song. He wanted to slowly savor it again.

The song started again, and Mu Xiaobai's hands couldn't help but tap the beat along with the melody.

Compared to the pure appreciation of the song the first time, this time he paid more attention to the details of the song.

As a professional music critic, he feels that the arrangement of this song can only be described as "exquisite" and is worthy of slow appreciation and careful savoring.

As the music played, at a certain moment, Mu Xiaobai suddenly realized something and paused his hand movements.

Then, Mu Xiaobai used the mouse to pull the progress bar back and listened to it again from the beginning. After repeating this action two or three times, he looked more and more surprised, as if he had discovered a new continent.

This song was actually created based on the "pentatonic scale"!

Compared with the "seven-tone scale" commonly used in modern pop music, the "pentatonic scale" omits two scales, forming a simpler and more harmonious melody.

The traditional Chinese "pentatonic scale", named "Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, and Yu", was widely used in traditional music in ancient times.

Later, Ye Zhiqiu incorporated it into modern pop music and created the "Chinese style" genre.

Among Ye Zhiqiu's works, "Blue and White Porcelain" is a "Chinese style" song created strictly based on the pentatonic scale.

The song "Rice Fragrance" makes extensive use of the backbone notes of the pentatonic scale in its melody. It can be said that about 80% of the notes in the whole song belong to the pentatonic scale.

Mu Xiaobai feels that this song is somewhat different from the "Chinese style" in the strict sense, and perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it "soft Chinese style".

At this moment, Mu Xiaobai was simply overwhelmed with admiration.

Who would have thought that Ye Zhiqiu could incorporate the "Chinese style" into such a song...

I can only say that only the founder can play like this...

Compared to "Firefly", the popularity of the song "Rice Fragrance" is undoubtedly one level higher.

Less than a day after the song was released, the number of listener comments exceeded 10.

"Prelude to kill!"

"Really, as soon as the prelude came out, a scene of rice fields in the countryside in summer appeared in my mind."

"I remember the carefree childhood when I was in the countryside, running barefoot in the fields..."

"This song is absolutely amazing. I have been playing it on repeat for a day..."

"Ye Zhiqiu is really awesome... The arrangement of this song is so awesome that I don't know how to describe it. I can only say that the 'Best Composition Award' is given to him. Not a single word is wrong."

"'Success and fame are not the goal, making yourself happy is the meaning', the lyrics of this song really made me cry, it's so healing."

"Haha, both 'Firefly' and 'Rice Fragrance' are warm and healing. Is it because the love between the father and the mother has overflowed after the couple had a child?"

"These two songs are enough to make them great. I don't know how they can surpass this album with the rest of the songs they release."
