King of Stage

"Wish I could find a good voice no one else heard, wish I had a natural voice. Wish I found a new chord no one else heard, wish I'd write songs that weren't just flashy rhyme."

This is the opening lyrics of "Falling Apart". It is simple but profound, beautiful and sad. In a few words, it can outline the anxiety under pressure, the different degrees of anxiety about the status quo, the future, yourself, life, etc., reflecting the The dilemma faced by the young generation in contemporary society.

"I remember when I was a child, people always said that when I grow up, my anxiety will become less and less, but now I feel insecure and care about other people's eyes. I am just a nobody but I care about your eyes. I want to travel back in time and go back to the good old days, mom Humming nursery rhymes to lull me to sleep, but now life is falling apart."

The truth of life presented in a few pens is too clear and too heavy, like a sharp sword, it hits the soft underbelly of the contemporary young people's hearts. Lost and insane are the essence of life, and those who are immersed in troubles and difficulties Life is a complete mess, but they must go on living amidst the chaos.

Especially the anxiety in the age of social networks. From Facebook to Twitter to photo wall, there are countless different applications. The huge social network woven by different platforms is all over the corners of life. "Like", "Repost" Labels such as "" and "reading" digitize social relationships, controlling everyone's life like an invisible hand, even if they are unknown, their minds are controlled by rising and changing numbers one by one, and there is nowhere to escape.

A like or cancellation of a like, a change in emotional state, a comment or an article, a compliment or a joke, even the slightest change, can affect the mind when a red message reminder pops up on the application level, Fragmented information completely dominates life.

No one can be an exception.

The seemingly colorful and glamorous life is behind the disintegrating anxiety and irritability. The ubiquitous pressure traps everyone like a net, from the spiritual level to the physical level. Little by little it crashed.

The song "Falling Apart", from the melody to the lyrics, accurately and profoundly hits the inner weakness of contemporary young people. In fact, Ronan created this song to describe the anxiety of the king in a creative dilemma, and the band on the tour The subtle changes in mentality, obviously still unknown, have begun to be influenced by the eyes of others, but they did not expect that the songs evolved different emotional meanings in the ears of the audience.

This is also one of the charms of art. There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand audiences. Similarly, a song "Falling Apart" will arouse different charms in the ears of different audiences.

What's more, King One Day's interpretation of "falling apart" is special, not sad or depressed, but a bohemian standing on the edge of a cliff,

The casual, free and unrestrained interpretation endows the song with a passion of "unconventional way", and the negative emotions are fully vented in the passionate drum rhythm.

Compared with "Chasing the Light" and "My Demon", the edges and corners of "Falling Apart" are more sharp and prominent, and this sharpness like a moth to a flame also blooms a unique charm, but it is more popular among young people. It swept away mightily, and finally burst out with incredible influence.

In fact, on the night of the Grammy Awards ceremony, the first wave of "falling apart" discussions started on social networks.

At that time, countless audiences were crazily discussing "My Demon", and Ronan's stage performance was amazing. In comparison, "Falling Apart" had limited space to play, showing more of the collision of classical music and modern music , That is another chemical reaction, and "My Demon" allows people to really feel Ronan's singing and expressiveness, which is indeed very shocking. The continuous high notes in the chorus directly ignited a Twitter frenzy.

It is precisely because of this that "Falling and Falling" did not form an upsurge of comprehensive discussions in the first place. The small-scale discussions attracted a lot of attention, the most representative of which was the passer-by audience. There is this song", "Is the music style of King of the Day so touching", "What is the second song?"...

and so on and so forth.

It can be seen that there are quite a few viewers who are interested in "falling apart", but "my devil" took the lead in detonating the focus, and the overwhelming discussion voices drowned out a small number of people who like "falling apart". "Falling Apart" has not yet released a single, even if it wants to break out, there is no basis for the craze, which limits the rise of the single craze.

However, as time progressed, the widespread spread of "Falling Apart" began to attract fans crazily, and the energy burst out from the stamina far surpassed that of "My Demon", gradually forming a second wave of frenzy, calling for the band to release the voice of the third single Gradually, it became popular, and countless young people became fans of this song——

Including the younger generation who have no interest in rock and roll, as well as the millennial generation who sniff at the Grammys, but they are all shrouded in the social network craze, and instead noticed the song "Falling Apart" because of the Twitter buzz , and then one after another shocked heaven and earth to send praises.

The most interesting part is here. These young people didn’t even know who the One Day King was before, and even if they heard about it, they didn’t have any interest. Now they hit their own aesthetic preferences accurately and profoundly because of “falling apart”. On the contrary, I became interested in the singer, and after a deep understanding, I found out that after seven years of dormancy, the king of the day finally shined in this year's Grammy, which is admirable!

Because this also means that one day the king has been groping in the dark, insisting on his own way, always maintaining sharp edges and claws, until Bruno Mars appreciates his own light. Giving "falling apart" a special meaning again——

For most young people in North America, they firmly believe that they are geniuses, but they are underappreciated. The anger and anxiety in their hearts are further amplified through social networks. I disdain commercial products like Justin Bieber, but deep down I believe that I am more talented than Justin Bieber and should be successful.

Such contradictory thoughts are pulling in the depths of their souls. Now they see the king of the day and hear "falling apart", they firmly believe that finally someone can understand their inner voice, and the impact of that kind of resonance is unparalleled , and finally formed a new wave of frenzy.

As a result, "Falling Apart" became the first hit single of One Day King that really opened up the market.
