Recently I have been annoyed, annoyed, annoyed
I always feel that there is something wrong with primary school life Not used to it
I can’t finish my homework every day
Not to mention the piano and guitar to play
I’ve been feeling annoyed, annoyed, annoyed lately
p>
Where is my territory in the lively playground
Saying goodbye to my friends who played together,
Now I feel even more lonely
Trouble, trouble, trouble...I'm in trouble, trouble...
Recently I've been troubled, troubled, troubled
I always feel that Mathematical Olympiad problems are not simple at all
I asked my dad, can you help me?
He said this, which I also found difficult when I was a child
Alas
There are always troubles in life, both near and far
My mother felt uncomfortable every day My movements are too slow
And I always think my articles are too bad, even though my head has been hollowed out and wrung out
I am just upset but not confused
Your concern makes me warm
Home is my sweetest harbor, the sweetest harbor
The lyrics of this final version of "I'm Feeling Annoyed Lately" are from the fifth grade of Xingzhou Primary School in Hangzhou. It was written by Zhang Yichen, a student in class (6), and was sung by classmates Shen Yixin, Jiang Minglang, Zhang Yichen and Zhang's father to form the "3 1" group.
As soon as "I've Been Annoyed Lately" was released, many parents screamed: "It's so sincere, isn't it my child?"
Why was it written? This song?
Zhang’s mother revealed that it was because Xiao Zhang heard this song accidentally during the summer vacation last year and thought the melody was very nice and the lyrics were also very interesting. As he hummed, he wanted to imitate the lyrics and talk about the "end-of-semester worries" that were exclusive to elementary school students.
Just do it. Based on his own experience in the final exam last semester, Xiao Zhang wrote the first version of the lyrics to "I'm Feeling Annoyed Lately" in less than 2 hours, but he still felt dissatisfied.
"The content of the lyrics is quite vivid, such as cram school, fewer and fewer outdoor activities before the end of the term, and the nagging of parents... But some of the words are not appropriate, and the rhyme of the first version of the lyrics is also It didn’t go well, so Xiao Zhang revised it several times and asked me to come over for reference,” Zhang’s mother recalled.
A version of lyrics abandoned by Xiao Zhang
As the first reader of "I'm Feeling Annoyed Lately", Zhang's mother's first thought after reading the lyrics was: calm down. "Because these worries in the lyrics are just some of Xiao Zhang's ordinary thoughts, I'm used to hearing them."
However, Zhang's mother still strongly supports Xiao Zhang's music creation and gives him suggestions for improvement from time to time. . "I think his idea is very good. First, he has loved music since he was a child, and we also support his exploration of music; second, in the current music market, there are indeed very few songs with content close to the lives of primary school students. We hope that Xiao Zhang's The lyrics can bring more children to sing.”
After the lyrics are revised, they will be sung
Xiao Zhang showed the final version of the lyrics to his vocal interest class teacher Qiao. Qiao, I want to accompaniment with ukulele, please ask the teacher to help arrange the song.
Qiao Qiao was happy when she saw it: "This little clever guy is usually the most active in interest classes, but I didn't expect him to be a new generation composer."
Qiao Qiao gave Xiao Zhang a suggestion : At the end of the first semester of 2019, a MV was recorded in the form of acapella chorus. "A cappella singing is more popular now, and the MV is much more infectious than the song. When the MV comes out, it will cheer up the children who are on the eve of the final exam!"
Xiao Zhang listens After hearing this suggestion, he immediately jumped three feet high: "That's great! I can sing a chorus with my friends!"
Last November, Xiao Zhang selected two generals in the class: Shen Yixin and Jiang Minglang formed a small choir. "They are all in vocal music interest classes. They have more than one year of vocal music learning foundation, and they have a good grasp of pitch, rhythm and parts; and they are particularly interested in "I'm Feeling Annoyed Lately" and feel that this is a 'complaint song' It simply spoke to everyone’s heart.”
However, there is another problem that troubles Xiao Zhang: the voices of primary school students are mostly high-pitched and thin, and they rarely have deep and thick bass. What to do? Xiao Zhang thought hard and had an idea: Since his father was mentioned in the lyrics, he might as well invite his father to be the bass and record the MV together!
"Dad was reluctant at first. According to his original words, he is tone deaf. , and "camera phobia", so Xiao Zhang did some ideological work for a long time. I also advised him: 'I have written you into the lyrics, what else is there to be dissatisfied with?'"
On January 5th, this special "3 1" choir finally entered the recording studio. During the recording, there was an episode that happened between the Zhang family and his son, which made Zhang’s mother laugh:
“Dad Zhang has never learned vocal music, so he often rushes to take pictures during recording, and his intonation is basically wrong. In place. Xiao Zhang is a perfectionist, so he simply took his father aside to tutor Xiao Zao. Usually, Zhang’s father tutored Xiao Zhang on the math Olympiad questions, and the two of them often quarreled. As a result, Zhang’s father was tutored in vocal music for an hour. When I came out of the recording studio, I felt bad.”

The MV recording after the recording was completed
In order to restore Xiao Zhang. For the story scenes in the lyrics, Zhang’s mother specially selected three scenes for the MV: home, school playground and classroom. After getting permission from the school, the choir came to Xingzhou Primary School last weekend and started filming the music video.
In order to make this MV more "down-to-earth", Xiao Zhang came up with two more ideas: one is to invite the mothers of the choir to appear on camera and interact with the children; the other is to use pencil cases, Stationery boxes and other school supplies make the beat.
"The idea of ??using pencil cases and pencil cases to make beats came from some short videos on the Internet of knocking on glasses to make beats." Zhang's mother said, "Everyone is very interested, holding pencils and pens Bao had a great time playing in front of the camera.”
Speaking of her son’s change in personality, her mother was very emotional
Xiao Zhang was also very surprised to see that her work was so popular. It also strengthened the confidence to continue exploring the path of writing lyrics and composing music. "'Being More Annoyed Lately' was Xiao Zhang's first attempt at adapting lyrics, and later he also tried composing music. We hope that Xiao Zhang's music career will go further and further," Zhang's mother said.
Zhang’s mother also revealed that although Xiao Zhang appears to be particularly calm in front of the camera, he was actually quite shy when he was a child. "Now he has become the most popular person in the class. He loves to chat with any new classmate he sees." She said with emotion when talking about the huge change in her son's personality.
It is important for families to cultivate children’s interests and hobbies
“Xiao Zhang has been interested in music since he was a child, whether it is piano, guitar, ukulele, dance, etc. After playing, some of his interests gave up halfway, but he persisted in piano, guitar, ukulele and vocal music." Zhang's mother revealed: "I belong to the 'tiger mother' type, and I usually pay close attention to my son's learning, but I pay more attention to it. Children’s interests and hobbies. We will encourage our son to do whatever he wants to try, and we will not force him to take exams, but let him do whatever he wants.”
Zhang’s father and Zhang’s mother are quite happy with their daily work. Although busy, the atmosphere at home has always been harmonious.
"My son usually tells me what new hobbies he has taken up recently, what he has experienced in school, what he wants to do, etc., so we have a relatively good understanding of his 'mind'."
Education experience sharing
Zhang’s mother said that I don’t have any special education method, I just respect the children’s interests and hobbies. Nowadays, children are under a lot of academic pressure, but parents should not force their children to study blindly, but should encourage their children to try more things they are interested in and open their children's horizons. Music hobbies do not necessarily require grades. The most important thing is that the child can grow up healthily and happily.
Children can see the most real world.
When you walk on the same road as him, what you may see are hurried pedestrians and the same faces. What you hear may be the honking of a car speeding by. What's on your mind is your upcoming destination and the whole day's to-do list.
Children are not. He would quietly observe a tree, listen carefully to the chirping of birds on the tree, and bend down to smell a beautiful flower when he saw it. Fairy tales live in children's hearts.
When "adults" begin to work hard to learn the mysteries of art and aesthetics, they will eventually discover that all the warm-hearted aesthetics in the world can be encountered on the way back to childhood.
The most precious thing in a child’s childhood is his innocent personality and positive attitude towards life. I hope that "adults" can all remember that they were once children, and share their carefree childhood with children with an innocent heart.
