There are so many people discussing "Next Year Today".

Some people even think that Next Year Today is better than the Mandarin version!

As a result, fans who prefer the Decade are not happy.

There was a hint of a rivalry between the two sides.

The bigger buzz started in the middle of the night, when many lyricists went down.

Yes, "Next Year Today" has taken on a new life that no one expected from the change in lyrics and language alone.

And the effect of the language change on the song from a professional point of view, the most visible change the average person can see is the lyrics!

Lyrics, this is a lyricist's field of expertise!

So, many lyricists began their analysis of "Ten Years" with the intention of either dabbling in the heat or admiring the lyrical ability of fish.

Among them, one lyricist's opening line is the most striking.

"People may just think that "Next Year Today" is vastly different from the original version after changing the lyrics and language, but few people realize the real heart that envious fish had in writing the lyrics for the new version!"

The lyricist's name is [Rabbit 2].

He has even written lyrics for a song king and a song queen, and has always been well regarded.

But today, with the release of "Next Year Today", Rabbit Two has even exposed his night owl identity and couldn't help but come out and say something.

As a result of his speech, he really drew the attention of his fans, as well as many netizens.

"What is the real heart of fish envy?"

"What do you mean?"

"What's the connection between the two songs?"

"Which song does Mr. Rabbit II think is better?"

"Speak quickly, sit and wait for Teacher Rabbit Two to solve the puzzle."

"Mr. Rabbit Two is up most of the night, squatting envious fish teacher's 'Next Year Today'?"

"Hahahahaha, rabbit two teachers a year ago, paid attention to envious fish, just envious fish who do not return to the off, as we all know, three gay friends is the eternal closed loop."

"......"

Rabbit 2 replied to one of the users who speculated about the connection between the two songs: "You've found a blind spot."

What blind spot?

Say it!

Netizens are impatient.

Since Hare Two is a professional lyricist and has a high status in the industry, people will pay attention to his words, and the words of celebrities are always more convincing.

Rabbit Two did not continue to sell out and posted a long article explaining.

Leaving aside everything else, the following is my attempt to analyze the lyrics in terms of their content and the emotions and ideas they are trying to convey.

Let's start with "Next Year Today".

This song is about a broken man who is tossing and turning at night with insomnia and overwhelming grief, and is struggling in the swamp of brokenness.

At first he thought that if the chandelier on the ceiling had smashed him to death before he fell in love, then he would not have had to suffer the pain of her departure; then he thought that it would be good if he did not die and became demented, so that at least he would not feel love, and would not have to suffer as much as he does now.

Long night, numerous thoughts in his head, he felt that he could not go on like this, to learn to bravely face the loss of love; so he tried to encourage himself today next year not to lose sleep, sleep around the people have left, the mattress should also be replaced ......

Thinking about it, he fell back into the whirlpool of emotions, suddenly unable to change, suddenly wanting to see each other again; even thinking about sixty years later, before he died, wanting to see each other again.

You've noticed that "Next Year Today" is about the pain of a broken heart, but there is only one word in the whole text that relates to the pain.

Instead of writing directly about how much pain the characters are feeling inside, Fish envy creates several fictional life scenes from a first perspective.

He was hit by a chandelier, became demented, met at someone else's wedding, and saw her again sixty years later.

He meticulously portrays the subtle changes in the heart of an insomniac lover, allowing the listener to become a part of it and experience the struggle of the lover to break up with his ex.

Let's take a look at "Ten Years".

It is also about a breakup, but the writing style and the emotions to be expressed are vastly different from "Next Year Today".

Therefore, the main character in the song "Ten Years" is .......

It was the one who broke up with the main character of "Next Year Today"!

This is the biggest connection between the two songs, a monologue from both sides of a couple!

Don't believe our analysis.

In the first part of the main song of "Ten Years", she says that she is still a little sad about the breakup; then she says that holding hands between them is like a life of travel, and that dissatisfaction can satisfy her yearning for a better life; then she calmly and rationally persuades, since she can't stay and will inevitably cry when she leaves, that she should enjoy this last moment of the remaining emotional connection.

Moving on to the chorus, the protagonist is even more rational as if he had never loved before, taking the breakup as a point in time and imagining what happened ten years ago and ten years later.

Ten years ago, no one knew anyone, it's not the same to this day, ten years later, even though we have broken up, after all, had known each other for a while, see the face or can still politely greet. I'm almost speechless in the face of such advice, which doesn't leave any room for recovery, as if there is no reason to grieve.

The last line 'my tears do not flow for you, but also for others', there will always be someone to fall in love with me, and then leave, but it just happens to be you, nothing special, nothing worthy of reluctance, this you can say is to see through, but also can say is calm and rational almost numb.

The song "Next Year Today" is about falling deeper and deeper into the painful abyss of breakup, while "Ten Years" is about rational and calm persuasion; "Next Year Today" uses stories to tell emotions, while "Ten Years" is about reasoning and analysis; "Next Year Today" is more direct, and the audience can feel the emotions as long as they are involved, while "Ten Years" needs more thought and consideration.

If my guess is correct, then these two songs are echoes of each other, a dialogue between the emotional and rational side of fish envy.

Which song is better, you ask?

I don't mean to beat up on you, I just want to tell you that which of these two songs is better written depends on which one your character is leaning towards as the main character, and you may also have different answers at different stages of your life].

This interpretation instantly opens another door for the listener!

Those who argued about which song is just right don't argue anymore.

On this reading, the argument is pointless.

"I go, so the two songs are the different angles of the couple?"

"So that's it! I told you, when I listen to the songs, I always feel like there's a connection between the two."

"I like this [the rational side of fish envy and the emotional side of the dialogue], that's a great line!"

"The opening is old reading comprehension, and I was going to say whether Mr. Rabbit II's article was over-interpreted, but read it through and found it compelling, worthy of a lyricist's brain."

"It suddenly dawned on me, so that's how it is... Fish envy is too strong!"

"Aha, how can I think so much when I'm listening to a song, I'll just say: cow pie!"

"In fact, Sun Yaohuo hinted at it all, saying that Next Year Today is a sister story to Decade."

"......"

At this point, someone in the comments section asked Rabbit Two how he rated the level of fish envy lyrics.

Hare Two replied with a little humor.

"A level that keeps a lot of lyricists up all night."

Hmm?

Is that why you are still practicing immortality at this point?

PS: The last sentence is also given to everyone who is preparing to practice immortality ~ today wrote more than 10,000 words, although chased by everyone spat out so long short and weak water white, but for the sake of the end of the month still beg for a monthly ticket!

Also, thank you to the big brother [Rabbit 2] for being an ally! I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this, but I'm not sure if I can.
