Why bother writing songs? Fast forward to the "Don't Laugh Challenge"

As soon as he said those words, he felt his mind clear instantly, and the pent-up frustration of the past few days seemed to dissipate all at once.

It’s so refreshing!

The main reason that gave him this thought and this sense of relief was none other than what he was hearing now.

It was the sound of wind chimes accompanied by wind and piano music, a warm and comforting melody. In the soothing rhythm, he heard familiar voices.

These voices contain countless childhood memories or familiar scents for many Chinese people.

Many voices even possess a special magic that makes people instantly recognize who they belong to, as well as a unique personal charm and style.

“There comes a time when we heed a certain call”

(When we heard the earnest call.)
For example, Xiao Zhongge recognized the first line as belonging to Lin Haitao, a legendary singer in the Chinese music scene, a member of the national team, and a master singer with unparalleled singing skills.

His songs and personal style, because he is best known for his bel canto singing, generally exude a grand and majestic feel.

However, in this opening scene, he revealed a rare tenderness, showing a touch of tenderness in a tough guy.

Then came the second sentence, spoken in a completely different tone.

The second sentence was spoken by a different person.

"When the world must come together as one"

(The world should unite)
The second one is a female singer.

It was none other than pop diva, Song Anqi!
There are people dying.

(In some places, people are on the verge of death.)
"Oh it's time to lend a hand to life"

(It's time to reach out and save lives.)
"The greatest gift of all"

One after another, familiar voices rang out, carrying an inspiring force.

And of course, there are these lyrics.

It is pure positive energy, a true celebration of love.

However, it is not the kind of lovey-dovey or life-or-death romance that is prevalent in the entertainment industry at present.

It is true love, love for the world, and compassion for suffering—content that can truly touch people's hearts.

Furthermore, the entire song is top-notch in terms of both technical aspects and other aspects!
Xiao Zhongge has been listening to Xia Shen's songs for so long that he now has a certain level of appreciation, even a professional level. He can hear many things that are different from before.

First, the harmony of this song is based on a simple I-IV-VI progression, which is the tonic-subdominant-dominant-tonic harmony. This is the most basic and easily accepted harmonic progression in Western pop music. It doesn't pursue complexity, but only resonance.

This song uses it very well.

A song like this shouldn't have too many technical elements. As a song that expresses great love and has a grand theme, it must be catchy, have an uplifting melody, and be easy to sing along to.

The goal is to make it so that even the most ordinary person, someone with absolutely no musical education, can sing along.

The melody is smooth and beautiful, with a moderate vocal range, ensuring that even non-professional singers can easily sing along, which greatly enhances its spreadability.

The chorus also incorporates melodic patterns used in hymns, giving it a strong "hymn" or "hymn" quality, making it solemn and sublime.

Then there's the lineup for this song, it's absolutely amazing.

This song has only just begun, yet it already brings together top singers from various genres, including pop, rock, bel canto, and R&B.

This will not only bring a huge influx of fans to the song on top of Xia Shen's existing fanbase, but also symbolize the unity of the entire music industry, making it a sensational news story in itself.

It's easy to imagine that this song will cause a sensation. It can only be said that Xia Shen has truly orchestrated a grand scheme, one that will inevitably trigger a series of chain reactions.

This group of people is far superior to Hou Lixie.

Not to mention such lofty ideals and themes, especially in songs that are exceptionally well-written.

If we say that Hou Lixie's album is satisfactory, does not fall below standard, and is a good album, that is based on the premise that Xia Shen has not yet released an album.

Now that Xia Shen has released an album, everything has changed.

To put it another way, it's like falling directly from the very top of the clouds!
And it's the kind of free fall.

And then, the exciting part finally arrived.

Following Zhou Yumeng's part, the verse ends.

Once the chorus begins, Xia Shen's voice comes into play.

“We are the world,”

We are all one family
“We are the children,”

We are all children of the Earth.
"We are the ones who make a brighter day,"

Creating a better future depends on us.

"So let's start giving,"

So let us begin to dedicate ourselves.
The moment Xia Shen spoke, Xiao Zhongge got goosebumps all over.

Moreover, this is only the first half, and not even the most exciting part.

The most shocking part is the second half.

After Angelina's voice appeared, it was followed by the voices of a large number of internationally renowned singers.

There are world-class superstars and globally renowned masters!

The lineup is absolutely amazing!

If it were only the first half, then this gathering of the Chinese music scene wouldn't truly be "We Are The World." But from the second half onwards, the song truly deserves its title.

A truly meaningful song that brings together the entire world, showcasing the theme of global unity and a genuine voice of love.

It can be said that this title track is entirely well-deserved and fully qualified to be the opening track of this charity album.

Or you could say that perhaps no other musical work is more deserving than this one, at least not so far.

After one song ended, Xiao Zhongge clicked on another single and listened to it one by one.

Of course, with the masterpiece "We Are The World" as a precedent, no matter how you listen to the following songs, they will definitely not be able to compare with this one. But in fact, from the perspective of Chinese music alone, they are all rare masterpieces.

Music that can ignite a sense of passionate excitement.

The wide range of styles explored in this album once again proves Xia Shen's limitless potential.

Other musicians may have their own style, which people can recognize immediately. They might think, "Oh, this style can only be created by so-and-so. This is so-and-so's style."

But Xia Shen is different. He can handle any style; it seems there's no style he can't master, no field he hasn't explored. (End of Chapter)
