Appreciation of Pop Music —— The so-called pop music in I Will Love You Forever refers to instrumental music and songs that are short in structure, popular in content, sincere in emotion and lively in form, loved by the broad masses, widely sung or appreciated, popular for a while, and even spread to future generations. Pop music is also called pop music because it is easy to understand, has a clear rhythm, can be connected with the masses, and is easy to accept regardless of the level of education. Today's pop music is a cultural phenomenon that pays attention to 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, not only art, but also entertainment and spiritual sustenance. When it comes to pop music, we have to mention the classic genre of Sol music. Saul's music is also translated into soul music, which is the fusion of the southern gospel and the rhythm and blues in the midwest. Some famous Sol musicians know Sol music like this: otis redding said, "I am not a blues singer, nor a rhythm and blues singer, but a Sol singer. We walked into the studio unprepared and recorded what we sang. This is Saul. Sing if you want. " Aretha franklin said, "It is an obvious fact that Saul comes from gospel songs and blues. For me, Saul is a feeling, a deep feeling. It comes from my heart and I show it. It is such a feeling that it affects others. " Milt Jackson said, "(Saul) is a performance that you can't get from books or research. As far as I am concerned, I believe that what I hear and feel in church music has the most powerful influence on my music career. " The General History of American Pop Music is more concise: "Saul is a rhythm and blues with religious passion for gospel songs". Therefore, we can draw a conclusion that Sol is a combination of gospel songs and rhythm and blues, and it is the result of secularization and popularization of gospel songs as a religious music form. "Sol" singing was originally mainly used in black music, and "Sol" music developed from gospel music. Because "Sol" music advocates freedom in melody and pays attention to flexibility in rhythm, the singing style of this kind of music naturally becomes very improvisational. Nowadays, Sol's impromptu "cadenza" has become a flag of popular singing. Aretha franklin, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, celine dion and Mariah Carey are all representatives of Sol's singing. Speaking of Sol's representative music, we have to mention the well-known representative work of Sol singer Whitney Houston-I will always love you. If I stay, I will love you forever, and I will only be on your way, so I have to go, but I know I will miss your every step and I will love you forever. (I will always love you, love you) You, my dear you, your (dear love you) bitter and sweet memories (that's all I took away) So goodbye, please don't cry (we all know that I'm not what you need) (as we all know, I'm not what you need) I will always love you (I will always love you) I will always love you (I hope life will treat you well). I hope all your dreams will come true. I wish you happiness, but most importantly, I hope you love me, and I will always love you. Ys Love You (I will always love you) I will always love you (I will always love you) Initially, this is a traditional country song sung by dolly parton, a famous American country singer. Whitney Houston used Sol's singing method to make it into today's version, which was a great success all over the world. The total record sales exceeded120,000. This song ranks eighth among the greatest 100 songs in the past 25 years selected by American cable TV station VH 1 and first among the greatest 100 love songs. I remember that when I listened to this song before, I was initially moved by the singer's beautiful voice and stirring melody. Later, because of professional needs, I carefully tasted the lyrics, only to find that Whitney Houston sang a special farewell, which contained a sad story. Knowing that we can't be together, break up on our own initiative. Can people in love really be so sober? Whitney Houston's voice was hesitant and reluctant. In the first half of the song, there are sudden tone changes, sensational saxophone and faint electronic chorus. The blank recording from the beginning to the end also sets off the atmosphere well, always leaving a small blank for silent listening. Especially when the accompaniment is cut in, the soft falsetto-a few seconds of "and me" drags the feelings to the depths, and then whispers "I will love you forever" and gently sings the love in my heart. However, the second climax of "I will always love you" is so shocking, with selfless and calm voice and strong feelings, which sincerely expresses the feelings contained in the song and also shows the characteristics of Saul's free melody and improvisation in singing methods. This song has three lyrics, and a chorus of "I will love you forever" is added after each lyric. It sounds like each paragraph has a different melody, and the rhythm is smooth but not monotonous. Whitney Houston grew up singing soul songs in church, and was deeply influenced by African music. She vividly interpreted the emotion of this song with her skillful Sol singing, showing its unique charm. We always encounter sad things in life, and lovelorn is one of them. Sorrow can bring us different aesthetic feelings in art. A sad story of lovelorn love, written as a song and sung by Whitney Houston, is a kind of beautiful enjoyment. In any case, when we are struggling for love, Whitney Houston's voice and Saul's music "I will always love you" bring us a new idea, a magnanimity, a realm and a spiritual comfort. I will love you forever.
