He Zhichen looked very pleased.
For such "unexpected surprises," Lin Tian always gave them to him unexpectedly.
This morning was no different; He Zhichen was brushing his teeth when he suddenly received a ssage on his phone from Lin Tian saying he’d co over in the afternoon to record a song.
When asked, it turned out it was written last night.
The new song was written last night, practiced with Gan Yanyu in the morning, recorded in the afternoon at the company, and after a bit of rush work in the studio, it could be released in a couple of days.
This is the creation of our grand musician, Mr. Lin Tian.
It’s just so simple and mundane.
He Zhichen was browsing through the scores Lin Tian brought over, opening them while asking,
"What genre is it? Why the sudden urge to write a new song?"
For a manager,
such questions are ones he would ask each ti.
These details, after processing, could all serve as good promotional material for the new song.
"Aren’t we about to set off?" Lin Tian said,
"You can think of it as a farewell song for Gan Yanyu and ."
"Oh oh!"
He Zhichen was adept at providing emotional support, instantly responding with a surprised reaction.
The recording engineer Cui beside them also showed a keen interest, saying with a smile,
"Mr. Lin Tian, it looks like you’re planning to go ’all out’ for this recording."
Just imagining it made it clear.
Farewell song!
Moonlight and Cat are about to set off for the capital to participate in the national competition.
What grandeur it must have!
There must be a sense of invincibility emanating from it!
The fans can feel fired up along with Moonlight and Cat just by watching!
"....."
No wonder it’s Mr. Moonlight!
Even though the song hadn’t been heard yet,
Cui could already picture the scene.
The high-spirited, magnificent Mr. Moonlight—about to embark on an expedition!
".....The song’s na is ’Yankee Doodle’?"
What does it an?
Looking at this sowhat strange song title,
Before He Zhichen could figure it out,
as he looked up,
Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu had already seated themselves in the recording studio.
On Gan Yanyu’s face, there seed to be a kind of uncontrollable smile.
"Lin Tian...are you sure you didn’t make a mistake? Is this our departure song?"
Gan Yanyu asked.
"Is there a problem?"
Lin Tian looked at Gan Yanyu with a serious face.
"....."
"No problem, Mr. Lin."
As if rembering sothing amusing, Gan Yanyu covered her mouth, unable to stop giggling.
"Don’t doubt Mr. Lin, get into the mood."
Lin Tian raised his index finger,
"Just assu we’re already on our way to depart."
"Alright, alright."
"Let’s get started."
As Lin Tian said, Gan Yanyu picked up the bow, getting ready.
With the "OK" gesture given by recording engineer Cui to the two,
the music started—
The girl played the cello!
"♫~"
With a cheerful and sowhat mischievous sound echoing,
it was like a spring breeze brushing past the ear.
He Zhichen and Cui soon both froze.
What is this style???
He Zhichen was instantly stunned.
.....
’Yankee Doodle’, it has a well-known translation—’The Yankee Song.’
This song was very popular in Lin Tian’s previous life, but few knew about it—the lody was famous, but what did it have to do with the song?
This seemingly contradictory relationship was quite effective in many "classical folk songs."
Because of the abundance of versions and the not-so-famous composers, many people couldn’t na the original song itself; it was only accidentally stumbled upon, when hearing the lody, that they’d realize—oh, it’s this one!
Lin Tian quite liked its catchy and sowhat addictive lody; it was a very "interesting" song.
The birth date of The Yankee Song was also a long ti ago, in the mid-18th century.
Compared to the song itself, its origin was quite interesting as well.
Initially, this song was used by British colonial soldiers to mock the militia on the North Arican continent.
It can be understood as the invaders mocking the locals.
The "Yankee" in the title referred to New Englanders, and "Doodle" ant "fool."
So, the correct aning of the song’s title today would be "The Big Fool of New England."
During the Arican War of Independence, the North Arican militia turned the tables, adapting this song into a "battle song" to mock the British troops in return.
Gradually, this Yankee Song beca a symbol of revolutionary spirit.
In the versions with original lyrics,
the song was filled with ridicule and puns, like "riding a little pony into town" (mocking the militia’s simple equipnt), "sticking a feather in their hat" (laughing at the militia’s ridiculous dress).
After adaptation, the North Arican militia used this song to express their pride in their plain, ho-spun clothes and straightforward manners.
Later, this song beca the unofficial "national anthem" of the Arican War of Independence, symbolizing the colonial people’s spirit of resistance.
It later beca widely used in patriotic celebrations, sports events, and other occasions, becoming one of the cultural symbols of the United States.
...
So, this British song originally used to mock Aricans, and then used by Aricans to mock the British—’Yankee Doodle’—what sort of emotion does it embody?
Under electronic accompanint.
The intertwining of flute and drum beats evokes the image of an 18th-century rural celebration, as if one were at a colonial market.
The brisk rhythm beats like horse hooves upon the listener’s heart, making toes tap unconsciously inside shoes.
Children can’t help but mimic the "riding a little pony" actions from the lyrics, bouncing in their seats.
"..."
Choosing this song, Lin Tian had thought it over quite a bit.
Due to yesterday’s experiences, Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu felt the pressure doubling.
