Xi’an News Network News “Yeyou Shen” is the fourth single of Jiulian’s first album. With the release of this song, the full story of the album “Amin” will soon be revealed.
“Yeyou Shen” is the first song composed by the real Jiulian. Like the other songs on the album, the story revolves around Amin, but unlike other songs, there is another protagonist in this song, Amin’s friend Acheng. The song is locked on one night and tells the story of two friends who met to seek revenge, and one person died halfway.
Although the song is on the surface describing the problematic teenager, behind it is a history of school violence that the lead singer Aaron experienced personally. The story goes back to Aaron’s junior high school. At that time, almost every young person entered a rebellious period. In a small county like Lianping, there are two main ways for children to choose rebellion, one is to indulge in online games, the other is to indulge in “the loyalty of the world.” Aaron belongs to the former and is often bullied by the latter. Every day on the short and short journey home from school, I have to go through a cautious process, worried that his classmates will stop him and ask him to “borrow money”. This kind of experience cast a lot of shadow on him, and he still lingered until he formed a band in college. So at the beginning of the formation of Jiulian, Aaron wanted to write a song like this. He wanted to tell those teenagers who were experiencing problems that the youth riding on a wildfire motorcycle was not cool at all.
Jiulian’s songs have always been good at describing scenes in life, but this song is uncharacteristically. Through the quarrel between Amin and his parents, it brings out the experience of Acheng’s death. This design stems from Aaron’s reflection on the communication between his generation and his parents. In his view, in the process of communicating with his parents when he was a child, he felt most degrading instead of encouragement. Sometimes, such degrading would be regarded as normal fatherly love and motherly love. Therefore, the confrontation with his parents and the emotions that were intensified afterwards were all written into this song by him.
In addition, in addition to the narrative tension and strong sense of picture of the original lyrics, the design of the music is also full of ingenuity. First, it broke the usual structure of the verse and chorus and chose a three-stage progressive narration. If the impression left by Jiulian Zhenren before was more about Hakka life, then this song is outside Hakka life and shows their pursuit of music creation. Over the past year, some music fans may not understand the “slow life” of Jiulian Zhenren in his creation, but in the eyes of Jiulian Zhenren, this slow life is meticulously crafted. The MV of “Night You Shen” fits the musical tonality with the essence of the experimental video, extending the dimensionality and sense of time and space of the song itself. The director deconstructed the story of the night goddess with the concept of drifting away from time and space, extending the narrative space of music into two dimensions of reality and imagery, trying to use the language of the stream of consciousness lens of nonlinear suspense to open up the flat space of music , Increase its thickness and capacity. In Lianping, who has the unique sense of magical reality in a small southern county, reshapes the imagination of the present time.
