First the conclusion: complete, beautiful and mature, with excellent musicality and popularity. The lyrics, music and arrangement are all excellent works. I am still in the top five this season (I can’t help it, there are too many good works this season). Improve the room for improvement. Details below.

Intro:

First I use the old version of Journey to the West to start the song (novel and creative), then the electronic keyboard sets the stage (a decent pop music route) and just clicks before entering the song. Good

Section A:

The first half of the lyrics, from "The moon splashes on the stars" to "The heart is broken", expresses intentions and makes a monologue. It has a certain sense of picture but does not expand too much. The tune is smooth and pop-lyric, but the emotional foreshadowing is a bit unclear.

The second half of the paragraph uses some so-called "unpronounceable" words at the beginning. In fact, it is slowly leading the style to the ancient style, adding Zen, and the characteristics of text and white come to the surface (the same is true for adding flute) function), to the section "being angry and sad is a human or a ghost", the foreshadowing is basically completed, adding the sentence "the heart has a debt to the devil", which is consistent with the title "Wukong" in terms of image creation (neither human nor ghost) and conception (although I haven't realized that everything is empty, but I have found the root karma and the demonic barrier) is highly consistent, which makes people look forward to how to play next.

So far this song is already a very popular work, and you can feel the flavor of works such as "Excerpts", but its excellence lies in not stopping here, but moving towards more subtle An amazing step forward musically.

Joining section:

The flute plays more roles, and the tune is changed to the style of Peking Opera soundtrack, followed by the altered electric guitar in parallel, and there are cymbals under the jazz drums at the bottom, and the sentence " "Call me Buddha!" ??When I heard it, my scalp exploded. The high-pitched operatic tone of the singing matched the modulation of the flute, and it was like a line from "One Night in Beijing" (Chen Sheng's version)!

The lyrics continue to follow up, "There is no way back, life or death has nothing to do with it." The process of "enlightenment" of space is intertwined with the confusing and chaotic process of "difficult to distinguish and difficult to judge". At the same time, the music speeds up the rhythm to push the mood, and the cymbals The psychological agitation (splendid folk instruments) rendered is exciting, and the emotion is approaching its highest point!

In short, the linking section is praised, which makes the whole song jump out of the ordinary pop style and transform into an artistic work such as "One Night in Beijing" (although it did not reach that height in the end, there is no way to do it, but it is enough refreshing).

Chorus of Section B:

The mood reaches its second highest point. The lyrics "What's the use and "so what"" are full of self-questioning and rebuttal. The two "stills" are confusing. The sense of chaos is overflowing. The soundtrack of this section is complex but harmonious to the ears. Regardless of the folk instruments, rock music, and harmony parts, they are all highly consistent with the singer. In the end, "The golden hoop is in front of the head and I want to stop" is full of helplessness, but it is still "enlightenment". Impenetrable” level.

Then he entered a short music solo and continued to brew his emotions. He started to sing two lines of "I want". "I can only vent my frustration by destroying everything, to soothe my pain and loneliness (I'm already burning out at this point). It's great.

But it’s not over yet. The song reaches the highest note, “Treading on the sky to crush the sky and run wild and unruly” (true brilliance), which forms a complete opposite intention with the previous sentence “The golden hoop is holding my head but I can’t speak anymore”. At the same time, each of them Echoing the previous sentence "There is no end to turning around" and "Life or death has nothing to do with it", the emotion reached the highest point (popularity and musicality were also taken into consideration), which was enough to shake the whole audience.

Add the concluding sentence "It is impossible to escape in the end", echoing the demonic debt in the heart (the demonic debt in the heart is destined to be inevitable), and the pain of "not being able to realize the emptiness" is overwhelming, reaching the point of "about to realize but not realize it" A critical state that seems empty but not empty. I think the character creation is basically completed at this point. This is clearly the great sage Qitian in "The Legend of Wukong" today! ! ! ! ! !

Enter the last sentence: "Ashes to ashes", since "cannot escape" and "cannot seek", we simply renounce everything, destroy everything, ashes to ashes or even burn together, but in the end we still cannot escape the demonic debt in our hearts, so The last word is in a very weak falsetto. The power to destroy everything and the image of being fragile and helpless like a baby coexist at the same time. The contradiction is unified and makes people sigh.

Written at the end: This is a good song, although it is not perfect. For example, some parts of the lyrics are overused (the "angry and sad" sentence made Tanya Chua want to reject it, But the not-so-pretty "it's just" made Tanya hesitate to push it. Maybe it would be better not to push it...) Some places have been written (but most of them are not piles of rhetoric, but constant wit and Zen), For example, there are still areas that could be refined in the tune, but it is really an excellent work.
