Zhou Shen released a new song: "Keeping Together".
This is the theme song of the game "Paladin Vii", although there have always been single-player games, but if there is no new song of Zhou Shen, I may not really know that Xianjian is going to produce a new work.
Seven, it should be a lifetime series.
The MV of this song is also accompanied by a voice voice, and you can see the familiar faces in the legend of Paladin.
I personally have a deep impression: Li Xiaoyao, Zhao Ling'er.
The reason why I am so impressed is because of a game: "The Sequel of the Spirit of the Paladin Legend".
In an era when there weren't many games to play, I played this game many times and played through it countless times, and there were a lot of interesting settings in the game at that time.
Far from it, let's go back to the song itself, let's talk about the music.
"The Legend of paladin" is a very large IP, whether it is a film and television work or a game work, a large number of OST derived from it, a considerable part of which has become a popular single.
In particular, "The Legend of the Paladin Iii", such as "Preference", "This Life Does Not Change", "Life and Death Love", "Forget Time" and other songs, the popularity is very high.
I suggest that if you are a fan, then it will be better to listen to the MP3 version, if you are both a fan of the game, then watching the MV is the best, perhaps it can remind you of the self you once were.
The song arrangement is very concise, and there are not too many orchestrations, and the overall setting is "soft", which is consistent with Zhou Shen's singing style.
I deliberately went to see the details of the song, and the composer and arrangement were the same person: Chen Zhiyi.
Many people may not know this musician, but I believe you have heard a song called "Painting Love", sung by Yao Beina.
After listening to "Painting Love" and then listening to this "Xiang Shou", there are similarities in the arrangement, and Chen Zhiyi is indeed very good at creating this type of music.
When the arrangement and composition are the same person, the concept conveyed is what the creator himself wants to convey.
The song emphasizes more on the arrangement, but on the vocal melody and Zhou Shen's voice.
I can suddenly understand why Chen Zhiyi made the overall arrangement relatively quiet, in addition to the previously mentioned singer style needs to be considered, there is also a point of memory.
Music that is too heavy or too dry is not suitable for the theme song of the Paladin Vii game, at least for me.
If you want to evoke memories of the past, it is obviously more appropriate to use some harmonious melodies and quiet styles.
As soon as the first lyrics came out, Zhou Shen's voice made people feel amazing.
"Looking at the clouds, a leaf has fallen, spring and autumn"
Don't listen to Zhou Shen sing so easily, you think this sentence is actually very good to sing, but in fact, it is just the opposite.
Listen carefully, or can find that "exhausted" and the previous sound state has a considerable difference, the sound change itself should be an abrupt thing.
However, when listening to Zhou Shen sing this lyric, whether it is carried out upwards or downwards, it will only feel silky, and the sense of listening can only be described as enjoyment.
For me, the most exciting thing about this song should be the second chorus and the third chorus, from soft to heavy to soft.
The turning point of this change is in this one-sentence lyric:
"This twilight needs to be used for life and death"
By adjusting the concentration of the voice when singing, so that the song directly from the softness of the first half, into a heavier state, this subtle difference in the sense of listening, if you do not pay attention, the final effect, the gap will actually be very large.
I didn't like the last chorus so much, not that I didn't like Zhou Shen's voice, but I simply felt that the last instrument and drum sound were added in, which seemed a bit chaotic.
You can think of what the creator is trying to express, he hopes to make the whole song reach a climax in the last chorus, but at least I, as a regular listener, simply feel a little too noisy.
Of course, after the end of the whole, when only a simple soundtrack and Zhou Shen's voice are left, the song is still very good.
I still hope that the Paladin Seven can come out as soon as possible, and then you can play the game while listening to "Stay together".
