"Hill"

In Ye Weiyang's previous life, it can be called a masterpiece.

The Golden Melody Award, which is a benchmark in the music industry, once awarded the 2014 Best Song of the Year and Best Lyricist Awards to "Hill".

The jury gave the evaluation of "Hill" as: "Writing out the parts hidden in everyone's heart and even undiscovered yet, hitting people's hearts in one fell swoop."

This is a song that was finally created after ten years. It can be regarded as the most outstanding song written by Leehom in the second half of his life and the most resonant song.

Ye Weiyang recorded the lyrics of "The Hill" in a memo.

The more he wrote, the more he was amazed at the excellence of this poem.

The lyrics and sentences of this song are not gorgeous or crafted, but its success lies in the fact that every word can be written to the fullest and can touch the heart in every minute.

Any word you can find out can inspire the listener to think about life for a long time.

The lyrics talk about life, choice, helplessness, and even acceptance.

Especially when Ye Weiyang recorded the lyrics word by word, the touching charm in the lyrics came even more.

After recording a song, he felt as if he had reexamined his past life. He couldn't help but sigh and even felt like he was crying.

However, the excellence of the lyrics is just one of the advantages of this song.

The more wonderful thing about "Hill" is the music score and singing method.

How wonderful it is?

It’s so wonderful that Ye Weiyang kept replaying it in his mind more than ten times, but he still failed to perfectly dig out the score!

Why?

Because Lee Zongsheng's song score is very difficult to write.

These songs of his were already very difficult to write in his early years, let alone later songs like "The Hill", and there is no rule at all in the whole song!

The score is very casual!

Like ordinary pop songs, they are very regular when compiling music, and the structure is very complete and clear.

Section a, section b, then chorus section, repeat section b, and then one or two sections of chorus sections. Sometimes an extra section is added in the middle, and basically the composition of a song is completed.

But "The Hill" is different.

This song does not consider the rules of any sub-sections or the repetition of the melody. It even doesn't even consider the rhythm, and there is no rhythm at all.

From beginning to end, the rhythm is very changeable, with many side beats, and the air intake point of each line is different. Even when singing, I don’t know which air outlet to enter, without any rhythm at all.

In my previous life, whether it was a KTV, a resident singer in a bar, a restaurant, or a musician on TV, he rarely saw anyone singing "Hill".

Why, it's because this song is too difficult to sing.

Other songs, or most popular songs, can be used to improvise accompaniment with a few chords when using a guitar or piano.

But "Hill" doesn't work!

If you want to sing this song, you must look at the score bullets, which is not wrong at all. If you don’t have a score, you can’t do it at all if you want to sing it out loud. You must memorize the lyrics and music scores of every bar before you can sing it!

If you want to sing the song "Hill" well and sing the unique charm in the lyrics, you must be an old singer over 40 years old. You have both strength and years of precipitation to be sure to sing this song well!

This is also why Ye Weiyang chose to write this song for Li Zonggang. His life experience is really suitable for this song.

A singer who has been popular and eternal, but has inevitably declined popularity, has gradually understood that there are some things that don’t have to regret!

Faced with all kinds of "difficulties in life" that cannot be changed, face it with a smile and fight back without any ability until death!

The beliefs that you want to convey in the lyrics are really suitable for Li Zonggang.

If this song is sung by the band itself, no matter how you sing it, a group of young people aged 18 or 19 are really not suitable to sing "I'm sorry we're never mature and we're old before we can know it."

But it’s just right for Li Zonggang!

But, this song is really hard to write...

Ye Weiyang tried his best to dig the score, and listened it repeatedly dozens of times. Until the bus took them back to school, he had not yet dug out the score.

“I’m at school.”

Jing Bo'an slapped Ye Weiyang's shoulder with a big hand, interrupting his thoughts about digging the score.

"Hmm? What is this?" Jing Bo'an leaned over with his big head and looked at Ye Weiyang's mobile phone screen.

"Are you writing a song again?"

When he spoke, the others immediately surrounded him curiously.

Although everyone is a musician, Ye Weiyang is the only one who can write good songs.

If you have the chance, you must learn how to write songs from him. After all, the band cannot rely on him to write songs alone in the future, and everyone also needs to contribute.

And who is playing music, who doesn’t have the dream of writing songs by himself?

Yang Xiao took Ye Weiyang's cell phone in one go and read the lyrics with great interest.

"I want to say but haven't said it yet, and I still have a lot of it. I'm saving it because I want to write it into a song..."

He started reading it loudly.

But after reading a few sentences, my face changed a little.

"This... the rhyme of this adverb is so strange..."

"And the number of words in each sentence is different. How can this melody be performed? The previous sentence has five words and the next sentence has eight words. This layout is so strange..."

Ye Weiyang shook his head: "The rhymes are still regular. Part of the main song is suppressed, and the chorus is suppressed by the rhymes."

The lyrics of "The Hill" are the same as the song, and are also very casual. Not only does the main song have no repetitions, but the chorus also has several repetitions.

Moreover, there is no lyrics in the main song, just like an uncle talking about his confession and saying whatever he thinks.

Only the chorus has a little regularity and is like a pop music.

This way of writing lyrics is still very novel in this world. After all, although the entertainment industry in this world is very developed, the unique way of writing songs by Master Lee Zongsheng, adds up to two worlds, is just a single seed.

The reason why a master is a master is because he has unique qualities that no one can imitate.

"After crossing the hill, although my head is white, I chatter endlessly, and I don't give me sorrow."

"Before you see immortality as you wish, you will lose yourself first..."

Pudding whispered and read a few choruses, stuck out his tongue, and said in confusion: "The lyrics have a feeling that they can't be said. They feel a little awkward when they read it, but they can't tell what it feels like."

"Weiyang, why did you write such words? It feels like it was written by an uncle in his thirties or forties. He was so white that his head was too short, and he sighed that he met too late. It feels like it was written by a frustrated uncle."

Ye Weiyang smiled, with some remembrance, and some emotion, "Maybe there is a thirty-year-old uncle living in my heart."
