Music, it's all about music. Without any conversation, no nonsense, no rest, Langley stood on the stage and performed nine songs for nearly 40 minutes. This is not a fan meeting, nor is it a commercial performance, or is it a simple concert, completely wandering in the music and flying freely.
After another song was performed, there was another thunderous applause from the audience, which hit the village full of wounds. On this night, the bar suffered a lot, but enjoyed it.
This time, instead of singing continuously, lanli gently breathed out a breath, reached out his hand, took the water cup from Nathan, and took a big drink. His dry and hot throat was like a dry desert, absorbing water crazily, and all the 36000 pores on his body were opened, which was comfortable and smooth.
This is a brand new experience, a bit similar to the performance of Pioneer Village, but somewhat different; It's a bit like a concert performance, but there are some differences. It's a wake-up call for the memories of Broadway and the west end. The small stage, the shining spotlight and the zero distance audience only complete the connection between the stage and the audience by performing, and become the link of mutual heart and soul.
"May I ask you a question, please?" Just in the middle of lanli's drink, a sudden voice sounded under the stage. In a flash, everyone looked at the past, and the noise gradually subsided. In the limited space of Pioneer Village, even without a microphone, his voice was still clear and bright.
With a smile on his face, lanli jokingly said, "I've been avoiding such a link, but now I've been caught." With that, he nodded, shrugged and agreed. He took another drink. Then he put down his glass and looked at the source of the voice to show his respect.
"Why did you record this album?" After all, Timothy couldn't restrain his inner excitement and raised the biggest question, "we all know that this is an album that can't be sold. Even if it spends money on publicity, it is doomed not to be recognized by the market. I'm sorry. Please forgive me
It's really impolite to say that the singer's album is bound to hit the street. However, Lan Li pursed the corners of his mouth with a smile, indicating that he didn't care.
Encouraged, Timothy went on, "I mean, even if so many people gathered at the scene today, maybe that's all. The mainstream market is not aware of the excellence of this album, and the mainstream market will not recognize the excellence of this album. Even if a few senior music lovers or critics approve it, it is doomed to be an album that cannot be widely spread. "
Timothy is not falling down the well, but in his heart. On the one hand, he hopes more and more excellent music can appear, not commodities, but real music; But on the other hand, social reality is constantly bringing blows, and the living space of dreams is getting smaller and smaller. All of a sudden, I found "Don Quixote" and began to panic. That kind of anxiety about gain and loss, only when you are really in it, can you taste it.
In a flash, everyone's eyes were on Lan Li.
Lanli smoothed his hair down to the back. After 40 minutes of performance, he was sweating, even his hair became wet. "I think this can be answered with another question: why do we have to try when we know we will fail?"
A rhetorical question made everyone at the scene fall into silence. This is a philosophical question: how many people are willing to try even though they know failure? It's like a sports competition. How many people are willing to do their best to win the championship?
"I think, maybe I'm looking forward to one, even if only one, who can understand the connotation of melody, the sincerity of singing and the failure of ending after the album comes out, but still go on unswervingly." With a smile on his lips, Langley glanced into the corner. George, Stanley, Neil and others were standing there.
He was lucky. He met more than one.
"What's your favorite song on the album, please?" In the silence, someone raised his hand to ask questions again. Originally, it was just Timothy's emotion, but now, it obviously ignited the curiosity of other people present.
Lan Li asked in a leisurely way, "can you talk about your choice first?"
"Old pine." He answered without hesitation, and George whistled his approval. Surprisingly, the scene then actually thought of a few whistles again, one after another should and.
"The beast." Lanli didn't stop and gave the answer directly.
Generally speaking, the singer in the publicity period, is bound to be asked this question, and the singer's answer is always the main song. On the one hand, it's for publicity, on the other hand, it's also because the quality of other tracks on the album is uneven, so the main song is often the best choice. Of course, for a creative singer, it's like ten fingers, unable to make a choice.
Lan Li's answer was so crisp that he blurted out, "why?"
Lan Li chuckled, "so we arrived, a lonely place that we couldn't go back. Beauty and crown. " Instead of answering directly, he read out the lyrics.
This song was created because Chris Hemsworth, who passed by for a short time, really understood the contradiction and struggle between dream and reality; I like this song because Heather cross, the girl's shining light, makes him feel ashamed. He has to clench his fists and move forward with perseverance; He fell in love with this song because his persistence, his madness and his forgetfulness have become the Lighthouse of his persistence. He dreams of reaching the other side of the vast and lonely land one day.
Even if the incarnation of the beast, but also at all costs.
Music is really fun, isn't it? As a creator, but in those listeners, taste out of the different, breeding a new understanding. This is one of the greatest charms of art.
"Young master, when you were on the Ellen show, it took you only a few minutes to create your bones." is that true? Or the editing of TV programs? " If you ask this question, you can see from the address that it should be Lan Li's fans.
"Ha." Lan Li laughed directly, "I can understand that this is a compliment to me? Neil, is this your special nursery? " "For many people, it's not easy to finish a song in a few minutes, but in fact, it's not that difficult," he said
Lanli picked up his guitar again. "In the 1960s, there was a time when complicated and colorful arrangements were popular. The rock songs were very complicated in those years. But in the 1990s, the arrangements began to become simpler and simpler, thus forming the present creative system. Generally speaking, you can play any pop song with just four chords, I mean, after the '90s. "
"Are you serious?" The scene was full of doubts. No matter whether it was Langley hall or not on the stage, all of them questioned one after another. Fearing that the world would not be in chaos, Neil called out, "show me, show me! I can't challenge you! " This, the scene is really chaotic up, many people are whistling, have coax.
Timothy opened his mouth. In fact, the original chord of the melody "your bone" is not too complicated, but the real essence of the song is in the lyrics. It is a modern narrative poem, which integrates life and death by means of metaphor, personification and metaphor. Its artistic conception is magnificent, but it is also integrated with the melody. That's the best part.
It may not be difficult to create such lyrics. After all, it's not poetry; But in just a few minutes, it is the accumulation and precipitation of a person's knowledge, cultural connotation and family upbringing. It's not easy.
Timothy is more curious about the background of Langley, but now, it's easy for Langley to blur the focus - obviously, people still prefer such a gimmick. There is no denying that Timothy is also a little curious: four chords? It sounds like arrogance!
"Katie Perry's fireworks!" Ed was the first to shout for a song and choose the hottest song on the billboard now, and it's still dance music.
Langley glanced at ed, laughed, and then quickly switched the four chords. "Just these four, these four are enough." Fireworks, right? How do you sing the lyrics again? "
Lan Li recalled it carefully, and then began to play, "because you are fireworks, show us your value, let us cheer for you, when you are flying wantonly in the sky." The simple chord, Lan Li slightly changed some rhythm, not the style of folk songs, actually still retains the original popular tune of "fireworks", but without the electronic accompaniment of the original song, less grand, but more natural and unrestrained.
Many people at the scene hummed along, mixed with exclamations and laughter. Some people didn't believe it and cried out, "Beyonce!"
"Which one?" Lanli stopped the chords and thought, "single ladies?" It seems that the same chords have subtle changes, but they come down in one continuous line. This feeling is really wonderful. "All single girls, all single girls..." Lan Li hummed simply, and then laughed brightly, "please, come on, some difficult dance music is actually of the same nature."
"Michael Jackson?" Timothy raised his voice and came straight to a problem“‘ Beat it. "
"Is this song from the '80s?" Lanli's eyes twinkled with cunning light. He just said that after the 1990s, but he didn't refuse. Instead, he looked down at the strings and said, "what's the melody like?"
Timothy widened his eyes and looked at the fingertips of Lanley pressing the pillow, and then a miracle was born: four chords, just four chords, one of the greatest rock songs in music history, burst out a different charm under the guitar chords, and Lanley hummed, "so stay away! Avoid it! You'd better run away
