Is Jay Chou's "Confession Balloon" meaningful?

In fact, "Confession Balloon" does not have the lively characteristics of the "Divine Comedy" that is popular on the Internet, nor does it have the temperament of blowing up the folk songs of white-collar friends. It is actually a beautiful, pink bubble, even a bit tacky love song, so why is it popular?

If we put the question of Jay Chou's feelings ten years ago, some people might not hesitate to answer confidently: Because this is Jay Chou's song! But ten years later, no one is sure to make a song. "Singing nothing is red" is not only the distress of newcomers, but the whole Chinese music scene is faced with the dilemma that pop songs are not popular and even the dominance of square dance cannot be maintained.

In fact, in the whole album "Jay Chou's Bedside Story", only this song ranked eighth is popular. This album is his first album since he got married and became his father. At the beginning of the release of the album, the biggest publicity point fell on the title song "Former Lovers", which was created by him according to several notes randomly pressed by his daughter on the toy piano. However, this title song with too many musical elements is not popular. If you are just a sentimental meal in Jay Chou, you may not even remember its music.

Although this song "Confession Balloon" stands out in the album, its influence and word-of-mouth are far less than Zhou's love songs such as "Star Love", "Jane Eyre" and "Her Eyelashes". Jay's fans' comments on this song are not one-sided praise.

The imprint of style is more deeply rooted in people's hearts. Confession Balloon is a very Jay Chou work. In addition to singing, the beat, melody and even timbre of the whole song are very Jay Chou. When it comes to Jay Chou's love songs, people first think of the lovely woman, the longest, the cliff of love and other R &；; B Lyric love songs are transliterated, but there is actually a kind of Jay Chou's love songs, which also occupies a high proportion in his creation, and because there are fewer people doing this style, the imprint of Jay Chou style is more deeply rooted in people's hearts.

The habit of love songs in the Chinese music scene is made into a lyric version of slow songs, which is occasionally passionate and more willing to be presented in a tough way of rock and roll. It's not that there is no medium-board, light-paced singing of love songs, but it's really rare to stick to the style of Jay Chou.

Mainly because this rhythm type of love song is difficult to reflect the change of mood and can only be done in a relaxed and sweet way. Many musicians often feel that they are not deep enough or even serious enough.

Generally speaking, lyric songs will adopt the rhythm of Adagio or Andante, such as Jay Chou's The Longest Movie, with 60 beats per minute, which is between Adagio and Andante. The work "Confession Balloon" is between the medium board and Allegro, and its rhythm speed of 90 beats can be regarded as the relatively fast medium board and the just-started Allegro.

The rhythm and speed of a song determine and dominate the temperament of music. For example, a medium-sized song close to Allegro, such as "Confession Balloon", is definitely upward and relaxed, which is why this type of song is particularly popular with network anchors. Because the atmosphere is too depressing with lyric adagio, if you use Allegro, it is easy to "catch the guests". This adagio song is also the most suitable background music.

On the other hand, the popularity of this song is largely due to its hard theme. The theme of "Confession Balloon" determines that it is a confession song, and with the blessing of the brand Jay Chou, it really has the flavor of endorsement. This is very similar to wedding songs such as "Today you will marry me", "Hug deeply" and "I finally wait for you", which is naturally touched by the theme.

So is Jay Chou's Confession Balloon. It is also a love song, and "Confession Balloon" is a very sweet song, with no twists and turns, no emotional changes, that is, from sweet to sweet. In the classification of European and American pop music markets, this type is very close to bubble gum songs, which can also be said to be high-quality saliva songs, but heartless but has captured people's hearts and ears.

There is no doubt that Jay Chou is a genius composer in music, and people will have strict requirements on genius while enjoying it. After his most creative period, someone will write "Jiang Lang is exhausted" into his evaluation from time to time. But at the same time, because Jay Chou's youth is spent with his genius.

People are very tolerant of him, and they are full of praise for any of his good works and forward them at will. It can be said that as long as the post-80s and post-90s can keep up with the mainstream network communication mode, the good songs written by Jay Chou will not be buried at any time.

Behind this song is the marriage of Jay Chou and Hannah Quinlivan, which is everyone's blessing. Careful fans found that although Hannah Quinlivan didn't really appear in the MV, the whole MV was full of the shadow of "eldest sister-in-law".

This song is like a testimony of their love. Idols sing their own happy love stories, and adult fans have long learned to bless, appreciate and not be jealous.
