Song and MV appreciation

This song sounds like emotional music. The harmony in prelude and interlude expresses feelings without thinking, which seems to be helpless to ups and downs. However, Vitas's singing started immediately, revealing a calm and flexible temperament. There seems to be a blank question in the song: "How many times have I asked myself why I was born and why I grew?" Why does the cloud flow, why does the rain pour ... "There seems to be a melancholy sigh:" I want to fly to the cloud, but I have no wings. The starlight in the sky attracts me, but it is so difficult to touch the stars ... ",but I am even more determined not to give up:" I will wait patiently, prepare myself for the journey to my dreams and hopes. Don't exhaust yourself, my star, please wait for me ... "

"Star" also has Vitas's trademark high notes. However, the treble here is not the kind of fierceness that pierces the sky directly, but the kind of tenacity that is soft and firm. The charm of complete indulgence has never appeared in the whole song, nor has it wavered in depression, but it knows that there are thorns everywhere and still embarks on the road of chasing the moon in idolize without regrets. It sounds both sad that "his flight is heavily through the fog, and his pure voice is drowned in the windy world" and heroic that "sometimes I ride the wind and waves, straight up my Yun Fan and set up a deep and deep sea". No wonder once it was launched, it aroused strong resonance from the audience.

The artistic conception of MV is closely and skillfully combined with music (all the MV works analyzed in this paper are from his official website: www.vitas.com.ru, the same below). On the viaduct in the snow, a thin, weak but stubborn figure is the symbolic image of Song Dynasty.

Here, Vitas's performance shows amazing self-control: MV location is the winter in Russia, which is a common season of minus 20-30 degrees. You can imagine what it's like to wear a thin coat in this environment, so the bloodless and pale face in the film is not entirely the effect of makeup-however, judging from his facial expression, there is no fear of shrinking from the cold, and some viewers even feel as comfortable and cool as ice cream, which can't be said to be the credit of the performance.

However, if you pay a little attention, you will find that Vitas in the film wants to put his hand into his sleeve in several places when pacing-the subconscious reaction of people in the cold is hard to control no matter how hard they try; In several open-handed shots, we can clearly see that Qing Wu's fingers are frozen day by day, and the ice and snow stick to his hands for a long time: all the details convey the word "difficult".

If you compare it with the short film recording the tidbits, and see others wrapped up from head to toe in the ice and snow, and then look at Vitas's single coat, I'm afraid it's no longer an "ice cream".

On the other hand, if the shooting of "Stars" is the most "painful" one of all MVs in Vitas, it is probably not a wild guess. Willing to pay such a huge price to show it, we can also see that Vitas himself cherishes and values this song: it faithfully records his feelings and wishes, and he is willing to devote himself to it.

My own opinion:

In terms of time, Star Song was written at the beginning of Vitas's entry into Russia, which should be a review of his previous confusion, struggle and persistence. The "thin but unyielding figure" shown in the MV is a portrayal of his mentality at that time. From another monologue song "Mom", we can see such lyrics: "I always stubbornly choose the road of thorns." According to other information I have learned (not necessarily accurate, for reference), Vitas had a very hard and lonely life before becoming famous, singing in various bars every day and sending resumes everywhere, hoping that some companies could find themselves. Judging from the style and genre of Vitas's first album, philosophical thinking-seeing the first album is because most of the songs in this album were written in the hard and lonely years of that song, which is his emotions and feelings at that time-he lived a dark and almost morbid life at that time. For details, please refer to Other People's Sorrow is Crying, Carlson, Opera 2, Cold World and Opera 69996. These lyrics are all on this webpage/question/16491977.html, but he is still firm in himself.

Mom:

This song is Xiao V's memory of his mother.

Mom and grandpa, these should be Xiao V's two favorite relatives, because Xiao V's father divorced his mother a long time ago and was brought up by her mother. Usually boys have a little Oedipus complex, especially the little V in single-parent families. V's mother Liliya died unfortunately when V held a successful concert in V2002. V didn't see his mother for the last time, which became his lifelong regret. Therefore, after the death of his mother, Xiao V was so sad that his whole soul was about to collapse (that is, the yin state after death), and then he went to Tibet Xueyuan to recuperate for three months. Dedication and Mom are both works of this period. Mom is relatively straightforward, but in Dedication, we can consciously feel the sadness flowing quietly. Personally, I think these two songs can be used for reference.

If you don't write, just post Franco Modigliani's.

The tree wants to keep quiet, but the wind won't stop.

-"Mom" impression

By Franco Modigliani

This song was written and composed by Vitas himself, and the album's work of the same name "Mom" is believed to be unforgettable for anyone who is interested in listening to this song.

The appeal of songs is so strong that when listening to songs or watching videos, I am always in a daze-I am filled with emotion, and finally I have nothing to say, and countless words are stuck in my heart, but I can't say half a sentence if I want to say it.

Therefore, it is impossible to make any "analysis" of rationality over sensibility-this paper only records the "impression" of this work.

Talking about witchcraft in ancient Egypt

A common metaphor: the mother is the guardian angel of the child-this is also a long-standing legend.

As early as the beginning of human civilization, there was a belief in Egypt: "Call his name and he will live forever", but in fact, people usually only know other people's "pseudonyms" and "real names" only his mother knows, because if you want to curse someone, you must call his "real name" to play a role, so the mother will not tell anyone the child's real name-in other words, the mother.

-This image has been accompanied by the development of human society until now and in the future. It is no exaggeration to say that "mother" is the foundation of a person's "psychological security" world. If his mother is gone, his soul will become a wandering orphan, and nothing can make up for it.

Skills, for what?

I don't know when it started, and I don't know how many people think that "singing" is the only criterion for evaluating singers. Good music is bright timbre, clear resonance, smooth modulation and lasting harmony. Whenever I see this tone, I can't help being sarcastic: in their view, a singer should be a walking piano.

It's not that vocal skills can be ignored, but just like the style and rules of China's poems, there is a reason. However, if you have wonderful sentences and fresh ideas, don't be bound by rules and regulations. A simple example:

"You ask the return date is not fixed, and it rains late in autumn pond. Why not cut the candles at the west window together, but talk about the rain at night? "

One of the typical taboos of this short poem with seven quatrains and twenty-eight characters is the repetition of words, and Li Shangyin, who is skilled in diction and sentence-making, directly used "late rain" twice, showing the poet's desolate mood. It echoes with the famous sayings such as "Saint Zhuangzi daydreaming, butterfly bewitched, Wang Chunxin cuckoo crowing", "Wind and frost win a firm horn, and the moon reveals sweet laurel leaves", creating the unique mysterious and confusing temperament of Shang Yin.

Back to the theme-with a critical eye, Vitas's vocal skills are also outstanding. Even in his early works, such as 0 1 concert, it is not difficult to find that his high notes are clean and clear, the pause is just right, the modulation is natural and smooth, the vibrato is light and flexible, and the breath is used freely. Songs such as "Wax Statue" and "Seven Elements" are even more amazing for his magical voice comparable to musical instruments. At the end of the song, the audience can't help admiring his perfect voice-this is the charm of vocal skills.

But when listening to him sing "Mom" (taking the program of "Russia" concert hall in 2003 as an example), it is a completely different realm: no one will pay attention to timbre breathing and true and false sounds here. But only the soul was taken away by the sad atmosphere-orange-red lights, and the background picture of the stage was a face with drooping eyes. Vitas slowly raised his head in front of the stage, bowed to him and thanked him, as if there were silent lamentations blowing like a piercing wind. The audience seemed to be hiding aside, quietly listening to Vitas tell her mother's heart.

This is not a sound, this is the singing of the soul-nostalgia, memories, guilt, love ... lingering emotions have evolved into unbearable burdens in recitation, almost crushing this delicate elf. Every time he lamented and cried, he touched the hearts of the viewers. The singer is no longer a singer and the audience is no longer an audience. Only a strong tragedy is the only truth.

At the end of the song, only tremors can lead him to his world.

If measured by the standard of "walking piano", "Mom" will not be included in the excellent works, but if you are still singing carefully at this time, it will be like putting the cart before the horse-people in sorrow and sorrow will sing songs like "My Sun", which is ridiculous. It's a pity that some people just think that bel canto is the only way.

Maria callas, a singer with the reputation of "goddess of opera", once said: "When singing a role, you must have thousands of different timbres to express happiness, joy, sadness and fear. How can a sweet voice do this? Sometimes you can even sing in a hoarse voice. " -"Singing in a hoarse voice" is incredible. However, this is precisely one of the necessary elements for her to become a great stage poet, not just an excellent singer.

Unlike Callas, Vitas sang his own tragedy True Love, and its charm was even more irresistible.

"Everyone has it in their hearts."

Responding to the tune, the lyrics of "Mom" are unpretentious, but they are particularly attractive.

This charm is a strong resonance with the feeling of "everyone has it".

What is striking is the complex feelings permeated in the text. There are both "regrets"-guilt and "no regrets"-a strong desire to live up to the expectations of mothers (lyrics source:).

The first sentence of the monologue is:

"It's hard for me to explain it in words.

Those feelings exist in my heart.

How to explain everything? ...

Because I couldn't sleep all night.

Because of thoughts. "

From the first few sentences, we can know that the lingering complex in the author's heart is quite complicated, so there will be such a tortuous situation, and I don't know what to do.

However, after all, it is the mentality of missing and guilt that has prevailed-

"I remember you, mom,

Dear, lovely, forgive me.

I've always been stubborn about this,

Chose the thorn road. "

"I often cry and remember.

How do I offend you sometimes?

Forgive me, dear,

Forgive me with love for the last time.

How many things I don't understand

How many things need me to understand?

I may love too little.

If I don't know love. "

These two paragraphs are very sad. The words "I remember you, Mom", "I often cry and remember" and "Give me love for the last time" are particularly inspiring-the painful but helpless feeling slowly revealed by the injured voice, the sensitive and fragile elf, who has lost her protector, has only endless thoughts and tears-what tiny expectations, "Forgive me once, for the last time ..." However, this is never possible. ...

There is a proverb in China that says, "The tree wants to be quiet, but the wind will not stop, and the child wants to raise it, but the relatives are not there." How many people can really achieve "parents are there, but they don't travel far"? In particular, how many people dream of "laughing to the sky, is our generation an Artemisia?"

Maybe even teenage mothers are expecting this dream to come true.

So, after crying, there is-

"Your love, unlimited love,

Your hopes and dreams for me

Forgive my childish behavior.

This makes you sad.

Now I know more about life.

I really understand a lot.

I remember your concern,

I really want to hug you! "

Obviously, "your hopes and dreams for me" shows that this is a great mother. She doesn't want to tie her son to her side in the name of "love", but she has a deeper and broader expectation for him-"Forgive my children's manners", which also shows that Vitas is not an unfilial son who disobeys his mother, and he is not a playful and disappointing person.

Repeated chorus is also an aria of this theme:

"Forgive me, dear, separation,

For my precious letters.

I kissed your hand mentally.

And your simple lips. "

…………

Look at yourself. Who hasn't quarreled with mom? Who hasn't traveled far and traveled around the world? However, if the lock of "fate" is tightened once, the former relatives will be forgotten once and for all. Who can say that they have no sense of shame? Countless viewers burst into tears when they heard and saw this program, because Vitas explained the emotion that "everyone has it in his heart", which is why.

==================================================

In the process of interpreting Vitas's art, the song "Mom" is a work that should not be ignored in any case. However, it is really difficult to dissect such a heavy and sad work as coldly as surgery. This is why the author mentioned it repeatedly in different articles, but never specifically "appreciated". Those words may be suspected of rambling, but they are really hard to think about when they are written, so they are written in this book.

-

After smiling, there is an obvious change.

There are always corresponding reasons for the change of creative style, but due to the limited information, it is difficult for the author to speculate on the specific details. Judging from the album songs, the teaching of Bach Mutova and other old artists can not be ignored, but the death of his mother is the biggest influence-in the history of art, there have been masked portraits and broken bodies in Margaret's paintings, which is reflected in Proust's process of creating "Remembering the Past".

No one likes misfortune, but one has to go through vicissitudes to mature-this is a paradox, that is, take Proust as an example, if it weren't for his mother's death, perhaps the masterpiece "Remembering Things Past" would not appear in front of readers. In the eyes of Proust's followers, although they are full of sympathy for the writer's misfortune, on the other hand, they also thank God for the literary miracle born from it.

This ambivalence also appeared when reading Vitas-the viewer was both sad and delighted to see that in the two MTVs "Stars" and "Mom", his performance skills obviously reached a higher level, and a cold and melancholy atmosphere could be created only by his expression.

……

In the later music, the elements of showing off skills are also reduced, and the gorgeous high notes are full of feelings-however, they are not blind emotional indulgence, and the pure voice is like a filtered cry, but it is not hysterical from the heart, as Confucius said: "Sorrow does not hurt the body."

……

There is a saying that "when you laugh, the whole world laughs with you;" When you cry, only you cry. In fact, it is difficult for people to understand the sadness of others. From this perspective, the two albums "Mom" and "My Mom's Song" are actually quite "self-centered" works. To some extent, the audience may never understand the singer's inner world-of course, perhaps the singer is pursuing to express his feelings and others.

-"Analysis of Vitas's Art"

-

In the rich lyrical tunes, Vitas frankly expressed sincere tenderness, without concealment or disguise. In the face of sacred truth, unless you have a heart of stone, it is hard not to be moved.

-Overview of Vitas Album

-

When the color of the costume turns red, the audience hears opera 1, soul, stars, autumn leaves, and mother, and the scene suddenly becomes sacred like an altar: sadness and melancholy, tenderness and the image of religious transcendence blend together, resulting in mellow wine, intoxicating all beings and intoxicating them.

-"Appreciate others' sadness in crying"

-

From the perspective of people's initial acceptance of the influence of the world, "parents" will always be an irreplaceable role. Therefore, Christina's "father" complex is as striking as Vitas's "mother" complex. Christina's "I wish you were here somehow" sung in her father's cemetery is similar to Vitas's "Mom", and there are even works with similar singing background and style.

However, two songs cannot be simply equated.

Christina's "father" is a comprehensive image, including the image of her biological father. Lyrics such as "You used to be my friend and father", "Dreaming that you wouldn't help me do everything you dreamed I could do" and "Why couldn't I just die in the past" are obviously the portrayal of Phantom of the Opera-and the proof of her identity as a teacher and father.

On the other hand, Christina's artistic conception, such as "teach me life", "give me the strength to try" and "help me say goodbye", are all emotional feelings eager to guide and protect; Vitas's lyrics: "Please forgive me, dear, forgive my departure, forgive my precious stationery", "Forgive my rude behavior and make you feel sad …" are all regrets about "paying too little". In contrast, the father in the daughter's heart is a powerful, intelligent and guiding role, while the mother that the son misses is the embodiment of tolerance, gentleness and kindness-on the other hand, Christina's weakness and Vitas's strength are also fully demonstrated.

-"The Phantom of Vitas"

-

If it's just the pace of life of ordinary people, it's ok to get a continuous rest after consuming energy. However, under the high-intensity work arrangement and a series of life shocks, it is difficult to have enough time to rest and adjust. All the fatigue and pain are slowly accumulating and will break out sooner or later-in fact, this song is not written by myself, maybe it is a sign.

Just like Sima Qian's exclamation: "People who are poor are against their roots, so they are extremely tired and don't cry." It's so painful that I don't even have to call my parents. "Therefore, at this time, Vitas performed such a work, showing great dependence on" family ". In fact, it is a symbol that has endured loneliness for too long and has been exhausted. In fact, the grandparents in the ——MV are metaphors of the trait of "parents' love and shelter". The persistence of art has temporarily retreated to the second place here, just like when suffering from a severe pain disease, patients often don't care about any side effects, as long as they can relieve the pain, even morphine or * * * will not refuse.

-"Russian Coast Appreciation"

-

To achieve such a performance effect, we have to applaud the young artist. But it must be noted that this is also a direct consumption of the essence of body and mind. In the performance, anyone can feel Vitas's full true feelings, but the constant outbreak of emotions can also make people tired, especially in the concert of My Mother's Song, there are more than one or two works that are so indulgent: even the stars show letters/insomnia, it rains in Tbilisi, others are crying, autumn leaves and mom.

What is even more shocking is that this effort is not short-term-it has been two years. In 2004, there were more than 250 solo concerts. There is only one concert in less than two days on average. How sincere does a person have to be to bear such consumption? It might be better if the tour tracks were not so traumatic (such as those in the second half), but the theme of the concert has been decided, and such sad works as "Mom" have to be repeated-onlookers can't help but ask: What is this? There is always a soft and fragile side in people's hearts that needs careful care. Therefore, even if you perform other people's stories, you can't bear too many strong emotions. Vivien Leigh's final schizophrenia was a terrible lesson. More importantly, Vitas's music is all about himself-it's like tearing the wounds in his heart again and again for two whole years, and never giving him a chance to recuperate and heal!

-"The Star and Its Destiny"

-

The intuitive display of "emotion" has created a sensitive and delicate characteristic. Works such as Mom, Autumn Leaves, I Believe in Love, etc. They are all direct confessions of deep feelings from the bottom of my heart, sincere and frank to the point where people dare not stare-euphemistic tunes and touching lyrics make viewers have to think about what emotions will pass through their minds when creating. Is it sadness? Is it melancholy? Is it expectation? Is it despair? Are you overwhelmed and want to stop writing and turn around? Or do you devote yourself wholeheartedly and pour out thousands of feelings instantly? Everything comes down to a work of art, no wonder even the viewer is drunk.

Listening to music alone, the sensitivity and delicacy in the tune have been deeply rooted in people's hearts, and the live performance is more infectious. I have to say that the appearance of Vitas has contributed a lot to enhancing artistic appeal. His delicate face and graceful figure are integrated with delicate and euphemistic musical artistic conception, which has an extraordinary attraction. At this time, he showed a weak temperament.

This softness and fragility comes from lingering feelings and true confession, just like withdrawing the power to "attack" the world, unloading the defense against the outside world, but holding out precious porcelain-its beauty and exquisiteness are suffocating, and its fragility and fragile characteristics make people afraid to come out.

-"Vitas's" Daughter Sex "

==================================================

Finally-there is a sentence that has to be said:

To be sure, no work of art can win the admiration and obsession of all people. However, even if you don't like it, you should maintain enough respect.

Because, you also have a mother.
