好的,让我们深入探讨一下“Total Happy Up And Sunny”。从最初的几秒钟开始,这首曲子立即确立了自己的身份:通过声音捕捉到的纯粹、未经修饰的乐观主义。它以干净、引人入胜的木吉他拨弦模式以及简单、令人难忘的电吉他旋律开始,立即营造出明亮、平易近人的基调。它并没有试图过于复杂;它的力量在于它的直接性和即时可及的积极氛围。
Task for me: Produce the most unimaginative and "calculated" song EVER. Goal: To prove that points 1-4 are no guarantee for success and that creativity is valued in an experimental sense.
1. take the most famous of all chord sequences, which always guarantees success: C - G - Am - F
2. use the instruments that appear in the most popular library songs Simple 4/4 beat, a bit of guitar, piano, xylophone, marimba, high strings, clapping, ...
3. repeat everything over and over again, no too much ups and downs, so you can use it as a continuous loop
4. use a title with lots of happy words, even if they don't make sense, "total" is always great because it enhances everything afterwards, "happy" stands for total happiness, "up" is always better than "down" and "sunny" is something people like because the sun is our life-giver.
The song was produced after about 3 hours and is still not out of the sales charts. Unfortunately I lost the bet against me. Sad realization until today: Conceptual music always sells better than experimental ventures.
So when I take a pile in the toilet in the morning, totally sleepy, it's more creative than this one song :)
