827 no encore
The cold wave storm seems to be getting worse and worse, and the concert craze seems to be endless. Madison Square Garden is evolving into an active volcano, which continues to be active throughout the night. The surging and boiling enthusiasm has become the most important thing in this sleepless night. A shining landscape, amidst the chaotic night of natural violence, outlines the most moving corner above the New York skyline.
Who could have predicted that the concert that had been prepared for four days would be packed with seats; who could have predicted that the actors who were not doing their job would shock the audience; who could have predicted that the casual performance would go down in history. It started in chaos and ended in chaos. Blooming, "One Person's Concert" is showing its unique and proud youth.
The show continues.
Faced with the unanimous call of the audience, Renly did not comply with public opinion and refused to perform "Cleopatra", but chose "Simple Life". Originally, this song was added to "Night in the Pioneer Village". The track was a blockbuster and lit up the whole night; tonight, at Madison Square Garden, people felt the madness again and the whole place was excited！
This is destined to be a night of losing one's mind, and it is also destined to be a night of carnival for everyone. From "Ophelia" to "Simple Life", from "Your Bones" to "A Piece of Nothingness", from "Budapest" to "Have no doubt"...The beauty and movingness of the "Don Quixote" album are unreservedly displayed in front of the audience.
Every fan who loves the album "Don Quixote" knows that this is an album with unique ideas and profound thoughts, which contains Renly's soul as a singer and as an artist. However, until Tonight, people really understood the core fragments hidden in the melody and lyrics..
A professional music critic once commented: This is a perfect album, even if it is not 100%, it is infinitely close. Every track, every melody, every lyric, and even every performance of the album is perfect. , which can give a glimpse of an artist’s persistence and love for creation, dreams, freedom, and life..
Now, people finally understand the meaning of these words. In fact, people finally understand this album now.
The entire album has a total of sixteen songs, but each song has different connotations and meanings, but they are coherent, constructing the concrete image of the dream of Don Quixote. Even now, I am still in the concert, but Everyone was thinking the same thing: they needed to listen to this album one more time.
“I think this is the end." Without warning, Renly's voice came out from the microphone, and the entire audience let out an annoyed sigh..
It seemed that one second, the concert had just begun, and they were still complaining about the silence and boredom at the beginning. It didn't look like the concert they were expecting at all; but the next second, the concert was already coming to an end? Time flies, it seems that in just a blink of an eye and a breath, they have reached the end.
However, when I close my eyes, the splendor and splendor of the past two hours are so vivid in my mind that I have not missed every detail; my throat is hoarse to the point of pain, and my muscles are so tired that they are sore, wet and dry. clothes, messy hair and hot head, everything is so real, so clear, and so beautiful.
In a daze, the audience in the stands realized that they had never sat down since the first song and stood the whole time. This was a folk concert, not rock, not dance music, not pop, not even country. .However, they couldn’t sit still at all and couldn’t wait to stand up and become a part of Madison Square Garden..
It's the end, it's coming to an end, and the sense of reality begins to invade. Screams, shouts, regrets, and calls for "encore" swarm in from all directions, and the entire garden scene falls again.
Renly stood quietly, taking in the shouts of the entire audience. His surging emotions slowly settled down, and he couldn't help but chuckle, "I haven't left the stage yet, so I'm calling 'encore' now." , is the timing too early?" With a joke, all the shouts turned into laughter, and the collective burst into laughter..
Renly pursed his lips, "There is no encore, and there is no need to call for an encore." Renly explained with a smile, "The album 'Don Quixote' has only sixteen songs in total, even if I want an encore." But, I don’t have any songs to sing anymore. As for my creative inventory, it’s not time to take it out yet..”
The self-deprecating joke once again summoned laughter, and whistles and applause were mixed in. It was so lively.
While talking, a staff member appeared on the side stage, moved a low stool, quickly came behind Renly, and then left quickly. Renly looked back at the figure who left in a hurry, "Generally speaking, this It was supposed to be the magician's moment, and I suddenly disappeared and then suddenly appeared again, and the stage setting changed. But, we didn't have enough rehearsal time, so, ta-da, this is the truth about magic..”
The little humor he picked up at his fingertips made the scene laugh out loud..
Renly adjusted the height of the microphone stand, then sat down on the low stool, holding the acoustic guitar in his arms, and continued, "There are still two songs left.……”
Before he could even finish his words, the audience started shouting, "Beast! Beast!" There were quite a few sparse shouts, and many fans came to support them, and they started to join in the shouting..
During tonight's performance, Renly never sang the song "The Beast". Renly originally thought that no one would notice. After all, drowned in sixteen songs, "The Beast" is not the kind of song that attracts attention. an eye-catching track; but apparently, his prediction was wrong.
The smile rose lightly, paused for a moment at the corner of his mouth, and then bloomed again. Renly explained, "This song is part of the agreement. I am waiting for the moment when someone comes on stage to sing 'The Beast'. So, today Too late, I can’t sing this song.”
With a puff, Heather laughed happily. Obviously, Renly was talking about her, waiting for her to sing "Beast" on the "American Idol" stage, but she has missed the sea this year. The only choice is to wait for next year. So Heather responded loudly, "Isn't it too long to wait?？”
Among the crowd, Heather's voice was too weak and too vague to pass through the obstacles and reach the stage. But Heather didn't care, but faced the eyes of her mother and father, firmly Said, "I will fulfill this agreement, believe me, I will fulfill it.”
“Tonight, there is no encore, and there is no 'Beast'. To make amends and apologize, I will sing a new song, a brand new song." After Renly finished speaking, all the noise in the scene disappeared in an instant. Missing, there was total silence for a moment. The contrast was so obvious that it made people feel heart-stopping..
Raising his head, Renly could see those eyes full of expectation and excitement, hot and crazy, and happiness filled his entire chest, which was swollen to the point of discomfort..
He twitched his lips to hide his embarrassment, "This song was just completed four days ago. The lyrics were not created by me alone, but I supplemented and re-created them based on another creator's work. .So, this is a very special song. I hope everyone can listen carefully..”
four days ago.
The specialness and sensitivity of this time made many listeners taste the difference, and their expectations couldn't help but rise again. Even Ellie and Derek couldn't help but look at Heather, but as the person involved, Heather was confused. Spread your hands, widen your eyes, and shake your head innocently to show that you know nothing.
The lights in the entire venue went out again, leaving only a spotlight on the stage, shrouding Renly. The whole world was dark, with only that beam of light guiding the direction. He once again became the center of attention, but Renly did not. Not at all nervous, but seriously began to tune the strings and adjust the position of the microphone..
His movements are so focused and his expression is so devoted, as if this is the most important thing in the world. The light passes through the thick eyelashes, casting a faint shadow. The eyes hidden in it are elusive, and only a faint trace can be captured. The light of perseverance. Time seems to have stopped at this moment, and it condenses into eternity in an instant..
So simple, so pure, so simple, every picture and every action makes people burst into tears..
Starting with a guitar and ending with a guitar, tonight's concert is destined to go down in history.
After the preparations were completed, Renly's fingertips lightly traced the strings a few times, then paused, raised his head, and searched among the crowd..
There was darkness in front of him, so dark that it was impossible to identify the specific location, let alone the specific face; the darkness coming from all directions tightly bound the milky-yellow beam to a small area, and Renly could only follow the Looking at the location in memory,.
Roy said before that Heather Cross is in that corner, less than ten meters away from the stage on the left front and less than five meters away from the central axis. In that small area, in Ellie Accompanied by Derek and Heather, Heather listened to the entire concert.
Now, through the darkness, through the layers of space, Renly seemed to be able to capture the outline of Heather's figure. His eyes paused for a moment. This song, from the page of Heather's notes, was written on the Fourth The night before, it was released at Heather's one-man concert. This is Heather's song..
Renly was sure that Heather felt his eyes and received his message. Then, he lowered his head and concentrated again. The fingertips of his left hand began to outline the strings, and the clear and bright strings danced lightly, like the early morning. Thin sunlight, a touch of gold, dances on the lush light green treetops, weak but powerful, tearing apart the darkness, breaking through the restraints, surging with beauty, and the whole world becomes brighter little by little.
The sky, the earth, mountains, oceans, canyons, abyss... It's just a weak golden sunlight, but it slowly lights up the entire universe. That is hope, that is faith, that is also a promise, so small, so magnificent.
Melody, soaring melodiously. Every note dances in the heart.
