One Hundred and Forty One Night Talk by Candlelight

"Had to find a bit of sleep but I was obsessed with the blue, tried window shopping for a personality, but nothing seemed to fit. There was a girl I knew, maybe she was a cannibal, maybe I was one Emotional animal with flaws. Then turns and sparks fly; but the instant she responds, the pillow talk and the blank statement. It's all slowly killing me,"

As Ollie said, the lyrics are indeed a bit esoteric—it can even be said to be very esoteric, and the fragmented words are spliced ​​together in a wonderful way, it is difficult to figure out the context, more like a murmur Soliloquy.

Because Ronan does not want to tell the story in a narrative way, nor does he want to condense emotions in the way of poetry, but captures those fleeting moments in the line drawing in a few words, outlines the emotions in the melody, One world, one flower and one heaven.

True confidants can understand it naturally; but people with different values ​​and worldviews, or people with different views on life, cannot understand it, and they don't need to understand it, because this is not a song dedicated to them. song.

In a sense, the song "Slower Suicide" is the autobiography of Kings for a Day—

They embrace their dreams, and struggle again and again, never give up, but they can't see the future, even if they turn around and leave to return to ordinary life, they are not reconciled, but it is futile to stay and continue to work hard, so they are trapped In a rut, and then slowly...slow suicide.

"I hate dreams".

At this time, if you savor this line of lyrics carefully-it is also in "Slower Suicide", you may be able to vaguely capture that contradictory emotion.

Ollie didn't understand Ronan's lyrics, but when he listened to the melody, he "got dust in his eyes"-this is what Ollie said when he kept rubbing his eyes.

In this regard, Ronan did not make any comments.

Needless to say, "Slower Suicide" is indeed a poignant song, but Ronan doesn't want to feel self-pitying and entangled in that sadness, so like "Get Out of My Head", it uses light Sing sadness with a smile, despair with a smile.

In fact, from "Inborn" to "Get Out of My Head" to "Slower Suicide", you can clearly feel the situation of the band and Ronan's mentality.

Indeed, one day the Kings stood precariously on the edge of a cliff and walked into a dead end in the dark. They could always see some hope but could not hold it firmly. Persistence seemed to be gradually becoming an obsession, but Ronan never dejected, but learn to be merry--

For him, all this is a kind of happiness, a kind of experience and an adventure.

Since waking up on the stage of the bar, Ronan has sincerely cherished every minute and second of life. He is learning to embrace his own life, just like the "half glass of water theory", he will always see the remaining half glass water, not the half glass that the tangle disappears. Happiness and suffering are relative, but they are also one.

It is precisely because of this that even with lyrics full of dark emotions like "slower suicide", the melody written by Ronan is still light and agile, not to mention the singing style, which also makes the song glow with new vitality .

"Bruno" keenly captured the mentality of Ronan's melody in bitterness, just like a fire ignited his house, but he still stood at the scene of the disaster with a smile on his face to take family photos, muttering "It's so rare We should leave something to commemorate when we saw each other," and then busy taking pictures.

People can't help but smile.

"...You mean, like this?" Following the other party's opinion, Ronan played it on the spot, accepted the opinion humbly, and explored different possibilities.

"Yes, that's it." When the revised version ended,

"Bruno" nodded slightly in agreement, and the smile on the corner of his mouth rose involuntarily, "In this way, the whole emotional impact will be different. If the singer can control the subtle differences in the singing process, and truly convey the lyrics The emotions in it, then the audience will definitely be moved by it.”

As he spoke, without warning, he fell into silence like this.

The words were cut off abruptly, as if he was in a trance, and he could faintly notice that the focus and focus of his sight were scattered, and he wandered into his own world.

Ronan was a little surprised, looked up at the other party, and then realized that perhaps, the song "Slower Suicide" also touched the softness of the other party's heart. So, does this mean that the down-and-out boxer in front of him is not Bruno?

After all, Bruno, whose career is on the rise in an all-round way, is at the time when he is proud of his horseshoe disease. How can he be like the One Day Kings, and how can he be in a state of chronic suicide? On the contrary, the identity of a down and out boxer is more appropriate to his real identity.

Could it be that there is a down-and-out thirty-six-line actor in front of him, who just imitates Bruno Mars for a living, then he has many similarities with the situation of the One Day Kings, and he feels the same about "slower suicide" at this time No wonder.

However, Ronan didn't delve into the other party's expression, and immediately withdrew his gaze——

Because he knows that if it were him, he would not want a stranger to see his inner fragility, at least he would not want the other party to delve into it.

"Bruno" was just in a daze for a moment, about one or two seconds, a small pause, and soon came back to his senses, and he didn't show any embarrassment, as if the short pause was really normal, there was no cover-up Explain, and then continue the topic.

"What about the arrangement? Do you have any ideas?"

If you just use folk guitar, the melody is too thin, and the tone is bright, so naturally it doesn't have the effect that Ronan expected to create.

Therefore, composition is also very important.

Although the other party is just a stranger who met for the first time, it seems inappropriate to discuss such a professional issue; moreover, this is a matter of music copyright. Nan is also the end of the dumb eating coptis.

In addition, Ronan is still unable to determine the real identity of the other party, maybe—and it is a high probability event, the other party may not be Bruno Mars at all, but just a stranger passing by casually, or a down-and-out boxer wandering on the street .

However, Ronan really wasn't worried about these things.

Music, everyone can express their own opinions, professional or unprofessional, in-depth and simple, there is no need to draw a line, this is the most beautiful part of modern music; moreover, just say that the other party can understand the lyrics and melody The true emotions hidden in it, this proves that they should be the same passer-by, and that is enough.

Ronan is willing to open his heart and share music with different people. He simply loves music, is happy for it, and sad for it. "Sharing" is the correct way to love music.

What if Ronan's judgment was wrong?

So, as a lesson learned, Ronan was willing to take the risk.
