The entire Pioneer Village was full of people, bustling with people, not crowded and lively. The tables were moved away, the space was cleared, and the jazz bar was transformed into a rock bar. In the blink of an eye, more than 300 people poured into the bar. The open space was packed to the brim, but there were still thirty or forty people at the door who couldn't come in, but were reluctant to leave. They could only stand at the door, stretching their necks, hoping to listen and catch the sounds leaking from inside..
Three hundred people may not sound like a lot, and compared to a concert with tens of thousands of people, it is simply a drop in the bucket; but being there, it is like standing in the vast ocean, violent, turbulent, hot, tight, and in a trance. , you can feel a kind of resonance connected by blood vessels, which slightly and strongly makes the heart start to tremble slightly..
Three hundred people, but it’s like 300,000 people.
Excited emotions spread in the air. Between the exchange of glances and whispered conversations, the rolling heat wave was slowly infecting everyone. No one could have imagined that it was just a small incident. Pai was amusing himself, but he found so many like-minded partners..

“Hey, hello everyone, I'm Neil, a bartender at the bar, and the owner of a YouTube and Facebook account. I initiated this event." In just two sentences, Neil introduced himself to the scene. Someone else whistled in support of Neil, which made Neil laugh, "Someone should have noticed that the cover of the 'Don Quixote' album is this stage, this simple, dilapidated stage, which has been around since its inception. The stage has never been repaired since then.”
The scene suddenly became commotion, and the low voices were like a rolling heat wave, once again forcing the arrival of summer..
“Some people will definitely ask, why use this stage as the cover? I think this question should be asked to the person involved, it was all his idea." There was a hint of ridicule in Neil's words, which caused a few people to chuckle, "But my personal understanding is that this represents what is always going on deep down in my heart. Persistence that never disappears is like Don Quixote.”
“So, even if you know that this is an album that is destined to fail to sell well, even if you know that this is an album that is destined to be ignored by the market, even if you know that this is an album that is destined to not win a Grammy, even if you know that this is an album that is destined to not win a Grammy, even if you know that this is an album that is destined to be ignored by the market, even if you know that this is an album that is destined to not win a Grammy It is an album that is destined to be unpopular, but it still came out." Neil couldn't help but look a little excited, and said impassionedly, "Just like this stage, in the bustling and noisy New York, it is insignificant, but it is But it has never died and will never die.”
The powerful words made everyone at the scene excited. The eyes were full of enthusiasm and longing. Before they realized it, tears had blurred their eyes. At this moment, everyone in the pioneer village was They are lonely dreamers, dreamers who have been forgotten by society, excluded by life, and defeated by reality. They see themselves in Neil, see themselves in "Don Quixote", and in the pioneer village... …found each other.
Renly caught the glistening tears in Neal's eyes. He watched Neal laughing and joking all day long. He almost forgot that the idle bartender had always been the most enthusiastic dreamer. "Don Quixote" Behind the album, Neil is also one of the important contributors.
Turning his head, Renly saw Stanley standing next to him. Stanley did not shed tears. On the contrary, a happy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. The distance was close to Renly's line of sight. Stanley said loudly, "I told you, I will There will be countless people who like your music." The pride and pride in his words made Renly laugh involuntarily..
“According to the original plan, we were supposed to start playing the album and then share our thoughts. However, someone brought an unexpected surprise, and I couldn't think of any better way to conduct tonight's sharing session. So, let's Welcome..." Neil took a step away, raised his right hand in an inviting gesture, "Renly Hall！”

Amid the shouts, Renly walked onto the stage and passed through the creamy yellow light curtain. His eyes were filled with darkness. He couldn't see the specific faces, but he could clearly feel the crazy enthusiasm surging. , my calm heart couldn’t help but start to agitate..
What a lovely group of people, without any interest entanglements, without any mission drive, without any complicated purposes, they just simply love music, so they started cheering. Pure, simple, and persistent, their innocent hearts are always never stops beating.
“Obviously none of us expected such a scene." Renly's opening sentence made everyone stunned, "I swear, I just wanted to come over to relax and have a beer. But now, vacation has suddenly turned into work. To be honest, I'm a little angry." These humorous words immediately caused laughter. In two simple sentences, he also explained the whole story, "Just like you, originally you just wanted to listen to the music, but now you suddenly became a reporter. You will definitely not be happy at the meet-and-greet either..”
The laughter can't stop at all.
“In this case, let's get down to business, before the riot begins." This was a night of music, and Renly did not intend to change his original intention, "Due to the rush of preparation, as you can see, I did not bring a huge band. Come here, I didn’t bring any records that can be used for lip-syncing, so I need your help." After teasing, Renly raised his hands and looked towards the front of the stage..
The people in the audience were in a daze, not sure what to do. William, who was standing at the front of the stage, raised his hands high. After receiving Renly's affirmative look, Graham, Hope, etc. People also raised their hands one after another. Gradually, everyone raised their hands one after another. Their eyes were full of surprise and curiosity. They exchanged glances with each other. They didn't understand what was happening at all, but they couldn't help but smile. rise.
“Yes, that's it." Renly encouraged everyone with a smile, and inadvertently saw George, Stanley and others standing next to them. Stanley and Nathan had already raised their hands, but George was unwilling and saw Lan After looking at Li, he reluctantly raised his hands, but instead of straightening them, he put them on his chest, with a look of arrogance and resistance..
“I'm not sure if you're familiar with every song on the album, but there's one called 'Simple-Life,' which I think is the most appropriate song for this moment. So, I invite each and every one of you to join me. ’s performance, this is music that belongs to everyone.”
Renly's words contained so much information that no one could react at the same time..
Timsi is still thinking about it, which song is "Simple Life"? Why did Renly say it was appropriate for the occasion? What's going on with everyone performing together? What are the melody and chords like? Why are they raising their hands? However, before his brain had time to start working, he heard uniform applause. He couldn't help but interrupt his thoughts and raised his head to look at the stage..
On the stage, Renly was beating his hands, beating the rhythm. The beat was very fast, almost hitting every beat, as if... like an army marching in a hurry, but still maintaining an orderly pace. Suddenly, One click, another click, bang! Snap! Snap! Short, rapid, surging, fierce, steady, bright.
“Come on, this beat is very simple, just follow me." Renly's smile couldn't help but bloom widely. He liked moments like this, using beats and melody to build bridges between strange souls. Then let them blend into one, with their breathing and heartbeats following the same rhythm, and release themselves to their heart's content.
“Snap! Snap! snap！”
The beats gradually gathered together. Timsy was confused, but he couldn't help but beat along with Renly's rhythm. Such a simple movement had a powerful force, as if he could hear the beating rhythm of his own heart. You can also hear the sound of everyone's heart beating, dancing wildly on the eardrums. The rhythm is so brisk that people can't help but get intoxicated. The brain doesn't even react, and a smile begins to bloom at the corner of the mouth, and then falls into the eyes, sinking. Entering the heart, integrating into the soul, all the cells in the body begin to cheer, scream, laugh, and revel.
So Timsi temporarily put all his thoughts out of his mind, laughed wantonly, and played happily, and even his body began to sway with the rhythm. The whole world was so small, as small as the one they were in. Space is the whole world; and the whole world is so big, as if they are standing in the center of the universe and can embrace the whole world with their hands and feet spread out..
The faces are so different, yet so the same. That kind of pure joy, pure happiness, and pure enjoyment connects everyone present. At this moment, they are the same person..
Standing on the stage, Renly's body glowed with enchanting light. His bright and clear smile instantly lit up the whole world. All eyes, sights, and enthusiasms swarmed towards him. Go. At this moment, that stage is the harbor of the soul and the center of the world.！21046
