Pop Music Appreciation - "I will always love you" The so-called pop music is those that have a short structure, popular content, sincere emotions, and lively form. They are loved by the masses and are widely sung or appreciated. Instrumental music and songs that were popular for a while and even passed down to later generations. Because pop music is easy to understand, has a distinctive rhythm, and can connect with the masses, it is easy to accept regardless of the level of education. Therefore, pop music is also called popular music. Today's pop music is already a cultural phenomenon that focuses on mass entertainment. Its development is closely related to the development of the times, social progress and the improvement of people's lives. It has become a part of modern people's daily life. It is not only art, but also entertainment. , spiritual sustenance. When it comes to pop music, we have to mention the classic genre of Sol music. Soul music, also translated as soul music, is a fusion of Southern gospel and Midwestern rhythm and blues. Here's how some famous sol musicians came to know sol music: Otis Redding said: "I'm not a blues singer, I'm not an R&B singer, I'm a sol singer. We walked into the studio unprepared and recorded our That's what Sol is about. You sing it how you feel." Aretha Franklin said: "It's an obvious fact that Sol comes from gospel songs and blues. To me, Sol is a feeling. It's a deep feeling that comes from within me and I express it? It's the kind of emotion that, through it, affects other people." Milt Jackson said: "(Saul) is something you can't get from a book or study. In my case, I believe it was what I heard and felt in church music that had the most powerful influence on my musical career." To be succinct: "Saul is rhythm and blues with the religious fervor of a gospel song." Therefore, we can draw the conclusion that Sol is a combination of gospel songs and rhythm and blues, and is the result of the secularization and popularization of gospel songs, a religious music form. The "Sol" singing method was originally mainly used in the black music "Sol" music developed from gospel songs (Gospel). Since "Sol" music advocates freedom in melody and flexibility in rhythm, the singing method of this music naturally becomes very improvised. Nowadays, Sol's "cadenza" singing, which advocates improvisation, has become a banner of today's popular singing. Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, etc. are all representatives of Sol's singing style. When it comes to the representative works of Sol music, we have to mention the representative work of the well-known "Sol" singer Whitney Houston-"I will always love you".

I will always love you If I should stay I would only be in your way So I'll go, but I know I 'll think of you every step of the way And I will always love you I will always love you ) You, my darling you, you Bitter sweet memories That is all I'm taking with me So goodbye, please don't cry Don't cry We both know I'm not what you need And I will always love you I will always love you Love you) I hope life treats you kind (I hope life will treat you kindly) And I hope you have all you dreamed off (I hope all your dreams can come true) And I wish to you joy and happiness (I hope you can Happy and happy) But above all this I wish to you love (But most of all I hope you can find your love) And I will always love you (And I will always love you) I will always love you (I will always love you) "I will always love you" was originally a traditional country song sung by the famous American country female singer Dolly Parton. Whitney Houston used Sol's singing method to process it and turned it into today's version, which has gained huge popularity around the world. A success, the album sold more than 12 million copies. The song was ranked eighth among the 100 Greatest Songs of the Past 25 Years and ranked first among the 100 Greatest Love Songs by American cable television station VH1. I remember when I listened to this song before, I was first moved by the singer's beautiful voice and soul-stirring melody. Later, due to professional needs, I carefully studied the lyrics again, and found out that Whitney Houston was singing a special farewell, and there was a sad story in it. Knowing that we couldn't be together, we took the initiative to break up. Who in love can really be so clear-headed? There is hesitation and reluctance in Whitney Houston's voice. In the first half of the song, there are sudden voice changes and modulations, sensational saxophone, and a touch of electronic chorus. The recording from the empty beginning to the empty end is also good at heightening the atmosphere, always leaving a lingering feeling. A small blank space for silent listening. Especially the soft and soft falsetto when the accompaniment cuts in - "And I?" The drawl and slide for a few seconds lead the emotion to the depths, followed by "?will always love you", a low voice. Narrate and gently sing the love in your heart.

However, "I will always love you" when it reaches the climax for the second time is so shocking. The selfless and calm voice, the strong feelings, and the strong or subtle changes sincerely express the emotions contained in the song, and also express the emotions contained in the song. Sol's music is characterized by free melody and improvisational singing method. This song has three verses, each with the refrain "I will always love you" attached. It sounds like each section has a different melody, and the rhythm is smooth but not repetitive. Whitney Houston, who grew up singing spiritual songs in church and was deeply influenced by rich African music, used her skillful Sol singing method to vividly interpret the emotion of this song, showing the unique charm of this song. We will always encounter sad things in life, and falling out of love is one of them. Sadness can bring us a different sense of beauty in art. A sad lovelorn story was written into a song, sung by Whitney Houston, and became the theme song of the movie. It is a beautiful enjoyment. In any case, when we are grudges for love, Whitney Houston's voice and the Sol music of "I will always love you" bring us a new thought, a kind of generosity, a kind of realm, and a kind of soul. of comfort. And, I will always love you.
