830 A promise worth a thousand gold
The melody has stopped; the singing has stopped.
Madison Square Garden fell into silence again, but in the quiet surging darkness, the eyes of the entire audience were cast in the same direction, and the hazy and bright tears were connected together, even more than the sky. The stars are even more dazzling. The faces and eyes are so different yet so similar. The warm and bright rays of light are connected together and become a powerful force that ripples in the chest..
All the muscles in Heather's body could not exert their strength, and she could hardly stand firm. In just a short while, sweat was already oozing out from her forehead. It seemed that she had reached the limit of her body and could fall apart anytime and anywhere. .The pale face and rough breathing revealed her weakness and embarrassment at the moment. If Ellie and Derek hadn't supported her hands in time, she might have been unable to stand at this time..
But, she can't give up, and she doesn't want to give up either.
Heather stood upright with her knees strong. Even though her knees were shaking slightly, she still straightened her back. Through the blur of tears, she faced Renly's eyes and tried to say word by word, "I won't." Give up." But the result was only a muffled grunt, even the syllables were incomplete. All the sounds were rolling in the throat, and the feeling of powerlessness was suppressed heavily..
But Heather was not discouraged. Instead, she took a deep breath, opened her mouth widely, and without any rush, started trying one syllable after another, "I... um... I..." Unprecedentedly, Speaking is such a simple thing, but it has become so difficult. Before tonight's concert, the situation was not so serious, but now, the more anxious you are, the harder it is..
Taking a deep breath, and another deep breath, Heather continued to try without giving up, "I...won't...give...give up..." However, these few simple words consumed almost all of Heather's energy, but she still He repeated stubbornly again, "I won't.”
The weight of the words rested heavily on my chest, and hot tears covered my cheeks, but the smile at the corner of my mouth bloomed wantonly, like a sunflower facing the sun, full of vitality and vigor, murmuring in a low voice. , "I won't. I won't, I won't.”
As if this is a spell, as if this is an agreement, every time it is so firm, every time so sure, as he speaks, the young and pale face bursts with shining light, even the eyes They all regained their energy. Heather stood up straight with great difficulty, eagerly getting rid of the support of her father and mother, and took a small half-step forward tremblingly, raising her chin high, as if bathing in the sun. , said again：
“I won't.”
So weak, yet so resolute; So vague, yet so clear; So small, yet so loud.
Not to mention Ellie, even Derek was in tears at this time and was so embarrassed that he couldn't help himself, but he had no time to pay attention to himself. He just clenched his fists and stared at Heather, barely using the last bit of reason to maintain it. Hold all the emotions, so as not to be completely shattered.
Thump, thump, thump. The sound of the beating heart was still echoing, but gradually it became one. Involuntarily, Hope raised his right hand and placed it on his chest, feeling the strong and powerful heartbeat. It was too loud. It's so violent that your fingers can't help but curl up. It's so hard that it feels like you can pass through your chest and truly touch the warmth and strength of your heart..
“I won't give up." Hope couldn't help but whisper, her voice was completely submerged in tears, and even the simplest syllables became unclear, but the will in her words burst out with incredible energy. energy. Never before has Hope been so determined.：
she won't give up.
She will not give up her dreams, she will not give up perseverance, she will not give up life. She is Don Quixote, the fool who raises his spear high to fight against the windmill, the lunatic who is obsessed with his own world, the one who has A fool who has an innocent heart but is not tolerated by this society. Yes, she is a crazy and stupid Don Quixote.
Just because she firmly believes that dreams make life bearable; dreams make life full of light.
“I won't give up." Hope whispered again, but she was already crying so hard that she couldn't control herself and almost couldn't breathe. She didn't want to give up, and she wouldn't give up..
Hope Baez, William Taylor, Graham Hughes, Timsy Leslie...they are all Don Quixote; Anita Tunisha, Kelly Barton, Anne Seely Mann, Ellie Cross, Derek Cross... they are all Don Quixote; also, Bradley Adams of "The New York Times", Gavin Hunt of "Us Weekly", " Eli Wallach of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer…they’re all Quixotes, too.
On top of this "one-man concert", in Madison Square Garden tonight, this is a carnival feast belonging to Don Quixote.
Heather raised her hands high and shouted again, "I...I will not give up.".”
Renly heard it, Renly heard it clearly, his nose felt sore for a moment, and the warm water vapor almost came out of his eyes, but he lowered his eyes in time, covering up the flash of vulnerability in his eyes, and once again outlined the Qin Xian once again sang softly, "I just ask you and I won't let you go. I promise you I won't leave you either.".”
This is a song that belongs to Heather, but it is not his own song. If you close your fingertips, you can hold onto your dream; but the weight of the dream is so heavy that it makes you stagger and struggle. Compared with persistence, It is always easier to give up, but only by truly persisting, life will no longer be alive, and life can regain its color..
He gave up once and would not give up a second time. He also hoped that Heather would not give up, because he did not know whether Heather would still have a second chance..
A simple and simple lyric, "Say-You-Won't-Let-Go", was as important as ever. So, Renly's fingertips lightly slid across the strings and hummed again. Singing, "I won't be defensive if I ask you, and I won't leave you if I promise." This is a promise to Heather, to the Don Quixotes, and to Renly himself..
A promise worth a thousand gold.
Music is over; touching has just begun. Even with the album "Don Quixote" and the full performance of "One Man's Concert", at this moment, the power of music is once again , once again hit the heart of every audience, and the slightly trembling souls trembled slightly under the starburst night sky.
A smile bloomed in the midst of tears. Heather looked at Renly quietly. Her eyes seemed to be able to clearly describe the outline of that face, the narrow eyes, the high bridge of the nose, the full lips, the strong chin... her eyes were greedy. And delicately pieced together the appearance in the memory bit by bit, and slowly fell again.
She knew that this song was not Renly's confession, but her heartfelt voice and Renly's gift..
Renly never loved her, just like she never failed to love him. They were friends, always been, before, now, and in the future. However, she was so lucky that she could still wait for him to confess her secret love. By her side, she quietly watched and even realized her dream. All of this was really wonderful. She shouldn’t be too greedy..
What's more, she has a song of her own. She participated in the lyrics creation - although it was only a very small part, but she still participated in it; Renly compiled the melody, and finally Renly sang it. A song that truly belongs to her heart. It contains her memories, her longings, her dreams, and her soul..
She couldn't think of anything more beautiful than this. No, maybe singing this song on the audition stage of "American Idol" was the most perfect thing. But should she sing "Beast" or "Say" You won’t give up”? This is a difficult subject to decide.
Gazing at Renly quietly, Heather raised her voice and said, "Cleopatra." She knew that Renly would not sing "The Beast" tonight, and besides this song, she was most looking forward to hearing it now. It was "Cleopatra", so she shouted again.
This time, both Ellie and Derek understood, so they joined Heather and shouted towards the stage, "Cleopatra"”.
Heather could catch the smile on the corner of Renly's mouth, a hint of helplessness and a hint of brightness, and then she began to hum softly, "I will never miss it again, I will never miss it again, miss the love of my life. When When I die alone, when I die alone, I won't miss it anymore.”
The vague voice could not speak a complete sentence at all, leaving only the fragmented melody echoing between the lips and teeth, but Heather's eyes became brighter and brighter, and the smile on the corner of her mouth became happier and happier: she liked this song, only Only after experiencing the vicissitudes of life can we understand the connotation of this song. She likes it.
Renly on the stage seemed to hear Heather's call deep in his heart. He shook his head slightly and raised his head. In front of him was a vast darkness. He seemed to be unable to see anything, but he seemed to be able to see the stormy waves. and the vicissitudes of life, the spacious and vast Madison Square Garden makes people feel small, but makes the stage feel grand..
Those blurry tearful eyes reflected a faint halo, as if reflecting his figure. So, without guitar playing or musical accompaniment, he sang loudly.：
“But it's too late, it's too late, I missed the love of my life.”
The words "It's too late" echoed softly through the microphone in the space of the garden. Excitement and excited interest quietly echoed among the crowd, but no one made a sound, just stared blankly at the stage. Stripped The joy of the melody strips away the excitement of the drums, and the sadness and bitterness hidden deep in the lyrics slowly overflows..
Renly stopped suddenly, and his fingertips sketched out a melodious and profound melody on the strings. The musical notes were flying and dancing lightly, as if they had wings, passing through the garden, through the New York blizzard, and through the snowstorm in New York. After passing the shackles of time and space, he found Cleopatra again, stopped deep in those sad eyes, and then Renly sang quietly again.：
“When I die alone, when I die alone, I won't miss it anymore.”
