1598 Enthusiasm remains
“The sound of "buzzing buzzing" filled the entire Madison Square Garden. In the darkness of the venue, you can still catch the faint flickering fluorescence, just like the stars hidden in the thick clouds in the dark night sky, looming. In the meantime, the night sky becomes colorful.
The entire audience tightly closed their mouths. They were too nervous and too excited. Even their breathing became cautious, fearing that their recklessness would break the order of the scene; but the heartbeats that continued to pound in their chests were Let the boiling blood continue to be restless and unable to calm down at all.
William Taylor forced himself to calm down, but it was definitely not an easy task.
He secretly told himself that this was his graduation ceremony. It was not to bid farewell to Renly, but to enter a new stage of life with Renly's company and encouragement; in the future, Renly will still be a part of his life. Indispensable part, he will still go into the cinema to watch Renly's works, and he will still browse Renly's news on the Internet, but after all, he still can't follow Renly's footsteps to explore the world like he does now..
The lights dimmed, and William realized that the countdown to the concert had officially begun. He secretly reminded himself that on top of the "One Man Concert" two years ago, Renly's appearance was unique. Tonight's ballad The same is probably true for the concert. There is absolutely no need for him to be overwhelmed with excitement, but……
But the beating of the heart became more and more fierce. In the rich and mellow darkness, the vision was weakened and the hearing was amplified. It seemed that you could hear the bubbling sound in your blood vessels. Your palms began to sweat involuntarily. The excited cheers were stuck in the in the throat, ready to move, and may break through the restraints at any time.
Time flies, but the passion remains the same.
At this moment, a spotlight lit up on the stage, focusing on the center of the empty stage. "Ah", almost subconsciously, William couldn't help but start screaming and shouting fanatically, even if the stage was now closed. There was no movement on the screen, even if it was just a beam of light, the trigger was still pulled, and the emotions broke through the crater and burst out..
William is not the only one.
Hope also stood up suddenly, clenched his hands into fists, roared and shouted forgetfully, and just like that, all the enthusiasm and excitement in his chest burst out. He had been waiting for so long, so long that he almost thought he had forgotten it. I felt that kind of madness, but it burst out tonight without any gaps. It was so fierce that my body began to tremble slightly..
Cecilia just sat there quietly, without speaking or yelling, but the hot tears in her eyes quickly accumulated, and her vision was instantly blurred, like a psychopath, sitting with tears in her eyes, just quietly Staring at the beam of light on the stage, I can't find an accurate word to describe my emotions. I just enjoy it..
The excitement in the audience began to surge, and the shouts of mountains and tsunamis surged like thunder in Madison Square Garden, and then the waves spread out like this, shaking one wave after another. For the audience waiting outside the venue, even the cold wind under the New York night became insignificant. The circular venue in front of them was like an erupting volcano, warming the entire city..
“Ahhhhh！”
Even the audience outside the venue couldn't help but start roaring and cheering. They were jumping in place because they were so excited, as if they were in the venue, witnessed the grand event with their own eyes, and then joined this grand party, just All it takes is a cheer and a fist pump to become one.
This is the real party！
Cheering. Still cheering. But there was still no movement on the stage for a long time. Gradually, the cheers were mixed with a trace of doubt. The audience began to look at each other, asking each other what was going on, and the noise gradually calmed down. A little——
The Don Quixotes who had participated in the "One Man Concert" showed a tacit smile. There were also many fans of Justin Timberlake and Ed Sheeran tonight as well as the "Drunken Country Folk" Moviegoers, they obviously don’t understand Renly’s behavior. Even in a concert, he is bound to take an unusual path. What’s more, they obviously didn’t pay attention to the theme of tonight’s concert..
“Menghui Kerosene Lamp Bar”.
This also means that tonight we will return to the kerosene lamp bar, without the grand fireworks and lights of the concert, nor the grand entrance ceremony of the concert, everything will be simple, just like a real kerosene lamp bar in the 1960s. " A similar scene is shown in the movie "The Folk Song of Drunken Country".
The shouts and roars in the audience gradually calmed down, and restless and boiling emotions surged in the air again. Scattered voices continued to roll, but the confusion and confused emotions began to gradually spread, and the hall began to spread. The comfort and cheerfulness of the Quixotes are in sharp contrast.
Sure enough, at this moment, a figure appeared on the stage.
Walking from the left side of the stage to the center of the stage, a silhouette can be faintly outlined in the shadows, but the outline of the face cannot be identified. It is impossible to make an accurate judgment just from the body shape. From the outline, it can be seen that the figure is carrying a guitar. , holding a square stool in his left hand and holding two microphone stands in his right hand, could it be... a staff member?？
Although it is absurd, it is not impossible.
On the huge stage, the figure walked into the spotlight unhurriedly, and the figure gradually became clearer. However, the audience felt a critical hit of 100,000 points, so shocked and unexpected that I was speechless, all those cheers and roars were stuck in my throat..
The visitor was wearing a simple white shirt and blue jeans, without any fancy or extraneous attire. Even his shoes were simple white canvas shoes. He looked like an intern college student who came to help; but the problem was , the visitor has a sloppy beard, and his vicissitudes of life reveal a sense of maturity and wisdom. He must have been away from college for some time..
The visitor put down the bench step by step, and then erected two microphone stands, one for singing and one for pointing the guitar. Then he sat under the bench and carefully adjusted the height of the microphone to ensure that the sound was accurate. It spread out without any mistakes, and then he lowered his head to adjust the strings and confirm the details before performing..
Under the full attention of the audience, he completed his work slowly and unhurriedly. He looked like a worker, but every audience present knew that he was not a worker..
That's Renly Hall.
Renly finally finished all the preparations and whispered into the phone, "Sorry, I'm late..”
It's not a greeting, but an apology. It doesn't have the scale of a concert at all, as if this is just an ordinary daily performance in a kerosene lamp bar..
“I just stepped in the snow outside the venue, and my boots got soaked in water and almost turned into ice. I hurriedly found a pair of canvas shoes. I hesitated whether I should go on stage barefoot, but in the end I chose to keep my boots warm. The soles of your feet, otherwise I'm not sure I can play the chords accurately..”
Joking and ordinary conversation, this is the convention of bar performances, with a strong flavor of life, some self-deprecating and some ridiculing, but it can bring the performers and the audience closer. In a trance, the restlessness of Madison Square Garden is just like this Slowly settling down, revealing a hint of the calmness of a kerosene lamp bar.
“It's quite cold tonight, isn't it? So, whiskey should be a better choice than beer; however, I'm not sure whether folk is a better choice than jazz. You know, jazz bars are always warmer and have those graceful girls." Relaxed. The pleasant ridicule made the entire audience chuckle..
“But now that we are here, let us get to the point. Maybe, you may have heard this one before. If a song is never new, but it is never outdated, then it is a ballad. In this way, Ballads are the wrong choice. The first song tonight, I’m not sure if you like it, but...that’s it.”
Without too much nonsense or politeness, Renly gently touched the strings..
A light, a chair, a microphone, a guitar, this constitutes the entire stage.
The clear and moving guitar strings spread through the impression, and the crystal-clear musical notes spread their wings between the light and shadow. All the annoyance slowly settled down, and the eyes were firmly locked on Renly's body, the huge The world is reduced to the size of that spotlight, unreservedly displayed in front of you..
“Hang me, oh, hang me, I will soon die.”
He sang like this.
Suddenly, tears welled up in his eyes, as if he had returned to the kerosene lamp bar in "Drunk Country Ballads", as if he was once again listening to the lonely and lonely decline of LeVeon Davis. The Song of Man seems to have returned to the rainy and foggy 1960s..
Renly on the stage in front of him is exquisite and elegant, with no superfluous embellishments or cumbersome embellishments. He just uses his voice to turn back time. Audiences who have truly appreciated the essence of "Drunk Country Folk" can deeply feel it. , those memory fragments about the movie began to become vivid.
Looking at Renly with hazy tearful eyes, his singing seemed to be more aged and unrestrained than the performance of "Drunken Country Ballad", not only because of his unkempt beard, but also because of the hidden features in his voice. The relief and bitterness at the end are gradually dissipated in the guitar strings.
It turns out that music really needs to be sung with the soul. Only by experiencing it with your heart can you feel the true emotions behind the melody and lyrics. The passage of time and the carvings of the years will leave their own traces in the songs, telling them quietly. with those stories.
