The French philosopher Rousseau once referred to music as “the first language of mankind”. Music is the basic path of human evolution. Long before humans learned to make sentences based on grammar, they might have learned to sing. Singing is also a channel of semantic communication between people – people expect to get attention and show themselves through singing, and humans can even use singing to deceive and summon others. Therefore, it can be said that music is a social force which highlights the characteristics of people. In fact, everyone can play music, even if you are not an expert, you can also hum a small piece of music to feel the music. Music is like breathing, it is everywhere, it constitutes an important experience in life, reflects people’s cognitive potential. Music is closely related to people’s basic needs and is the result of the evolution of the human nervous system over the centuries.
What this song expresses are a story about a missed love. Whenever I sing this song, with every lyric sung, I can’t help thinking: Maybe everyone has lost a loved one. people. But can we find the lost and return to the way they were? It is precisely because of the loss of a person that we begin to know how to cherish. Even if we know we cannot save this relationship, we still refuse to give up. After all, how easy is it to give up the person who once loved him?
My classmates and I used to sing this song at a high school graduation party, and now I think of the friends and friends who used to get along with each other today, and this song gives me more insight. In fact, there are many people and things around us that we should cherish, such as relatives, friends, and dreams. I began to realize that we should not always know how to regret after we have lost our happiness, and then find ways to retain the happiness that is about to slip away. Even if happiness is short-lived, we must hold it tightly and warm everyone around us with our own hearts. In addition, we shouldn’t always stay in our comfort zone. We shouldn’t close the door to happiness and shut out those who want to love you.
People often say how beautiful and sweet memories are, but they don’t know how self-deceiving it is to be immersed in memories all day long, but they don’t know how cowardly it is to not have the courage to face reality. Memories are wonderful, but don’t always look back at the footprints of the past, and don’t always miss the people who have left in your life. Because doing so can only keep oneself in the memory for a long time, so that it will not be able to return to reality from the memory for a long time. Everyone has his own sky, sometimes cloudy, sometimes sunny, sometimes stormy, sometimes snowy, but no matter what the weather is, don’t close yourself, don’t miss the happiness that will happen to you and the people you will cherish.
As Chinese popular music, it has its own unique contemporary aesthetic value and artistic connotation. Most Chinese pop music contains a kind of popularity. “Popular consciousness” means that its audience is popular. This orientation does not mean to cater to it, but in a concise form closer to expressing the masses’ artistic needs. Just as the sorrow for the lost love and time expressed in this song, and the perception of cherishing time unfolded from it, Chinese pop music expresses more the spiritual world of the general public and the true feelings of the general public. This kind of civilians simply expresses the inner feelings of the working people about life, the understanding of love, and the call for friendship and affection, which has profound social significance and social value.
If most of the Chinese pop music we hear now is generally lyrical, then according to my survey, Chinese pop music is not static. We can see that the lyrics of popular music songs now tend to express feelings. About ten years ago, the lyrics of popular songs were not only focused on expression, but more with the charm of Chinese classical poetry. Through my survey and interviews, earlier pop music lyrics are more realistic, focusing more on reflecting personal thoughts and social issues. Obviously, people are increasingly inclined to express their inner emotions through lyrics to communicate. As the creation of lyrics pays more and more attention to reflecting people’s lives and aspirations, these popular lyrics are more able to occupy the pop music market and be widely sung.
I found that more and more young people like Chinese pop music. Although the trend of Chinese pop music culture has the tendency of non mainstream social ideology, it has become a typical type of art and culture communication in China through diversified entertainment, popularity and fashion, scientific and technological means of communication and mature commercial operation mechanism. A lyrical pop song, such as 《可不可以》 can be widely sung by students at a very fast speed.
The rapid development of Chinese pop music culture not only represents the spread of Chinese pop art and culture, but also reflects the social reality, the overall quality of society and culture. Fully understanding the artistic value and aesthetic trend of Chinese pop music in aesthetics is the first step to learn from Chinese pop music. We should also fully absorb the characteristics of the times of Chinese pop music from the perspective of music culture innovation and aesthetics.
