Chapter 1162

“Bon-Iver？ But why do you want to sing this song? "

Levine was a little stunned.

Yes, why?

Maybe it's because of Mickey, he thinks he doesn't care, he thinks he's forgotten, he thinks he's used to it, but he overestimates himself; Maybe it's because of reality, holding talent but struggling with reality, thinking that talent is just a part of the mediocre wave of folk songs.

Maybe it's because Jane, the woman she loves deeply, has made a different choice on the road of her dream. She chose Jim, but he chose faith, and finally went their separate ways; Maybe it's because tonight is suitable for memory, wandering for a long time, lonely for a long time, will always start to be sad, this is the ballad——

"Forget it, what happened to the love of mourning the past?"

Interestingly, when people mention the song "skinny love", they think it's the version of British Independent singer Birdy. The girl's singing is fresh and pleasant, sad and gentle, with a unique charm, which has moved countless people, especially after it was broadcast as an episode in "Vampire Diaries", It became the love of teenagers, which made bird famous overnight.

But in fact, bird is not the original singer, but the cover singer.

The original version is from Bon iver, which has been included in the personal non studio album as early as 2007 and has moved countless people. Compared with bird's green maiden green and sad, the original version's natural and unrestrained and vicissitudes give the song a different flavor. It's like smoke around the fingertips.

Just sitting on the stage, this melody came into his mind. As he said, a song, which will never be fashionable or out of date, is ballad. In that simple and light chord, the flow of time, little by little back, looking for the memory of broken fragments and dark corners, singing, unknowingly old.

"Why?" is a good question as well as a stupid one.

Levine's mouth could not help but gently pulled, a trace of banter slipped through his eyes, "don't you think it's very suitable for the atmosphere tonight? In the kerosene lamp bar, there are many records of the death of love and the birth of love

It was here that he and Jane met.

The inner confusion rolled gently, and then precipitated again. He joked easily in an uninhibited tone. He could hear the low laughter in the bar, the undulating whistles, and the vulgar comments“ Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God He once again hummed the melody of the melody, the light voice is hidden in the fussy exaggeration, low laughter became a laugh.

"Charlie boy. Charlie boy."

Someone in the crowd called, Woody Allen. The crowd cast their eyes one after another, but the little old man was still hidden in the dark, showing half his face, waving his right hand, and obstinately shouting, "what's up, Charlie boy?"

It's a song from Don Quixote's album, and it's also the first time that Langley performed in Pioneer Village.

For most people, this song doesn't sound familiar. First, it doesn't hit the charts. Second, it doesn't have publicity. Third, it doesn't have awards. It's buried in the whole album and it's not conspicuous. But in fact, this song is famous in the Pioneer Village.

Because the song is about the Vietnam War. At that time, just because of the president's words, countless young people went to the battlefield. It was not until 30 years later that people realized that the so-called Vietnam War was just a hoax.

"Charlie boy, don't go to war." This is what the song sings. The traces of history and emotional scars are revealed between the lines. The clear and transparent guitar strings are stirring up ripples in the mind, which has moved countless real music lovers, as well as countless people who have experienced that crazy age.

Later, Langley appeared in the "Pacific War", and this "Charlie boy" also became a true portrayal of Eugene's change of mind.

Today, woody chose this song alone, but it has formed an intertextual echo with "hang me, oh, hang me" just now. It's the same Vietnam War, the same anti war, and the same ballad wave of the 1960s

Ethan and Joel both exchanged a vision with each other. They never knew the song "Charlie boy". What's more, they didn't know that in lanli's creation, it actually coincided with the folk wave of the 1960s, even more profound than they imagined. Vaguely, they were looking forward to it.

Levine raised his eyes and looked along the sound source, half bright and half dark. His eyes were not real. He couldn't recognize the face of the person who asked for the song. He could only see a moving head. He glanced at the corner of his mouth and joked, "I don't know when the kerosene lamp bar started to ask for songs. This is not karaoke."

The sarcastic tone was full of unruly and rebellious, slightly squinting eyes looked around, then gently shrugged, with a self mocking smile, "but I guess I have no choice, I still owe Papi three bottles of beer. Right, Papi? "

"Six bottles, asshole." Make complaints about the sound of the bar, and everyone in the bar laughed.

Levine still doesn't care, "since papido doesn't mind being karaoke, I don't think I have any reason to refuse. Kennedy certainly won't like to hear this song, so you'd better keep it a secret. I'm not ready to carry a rifle

After the completion of the Tucao, love once again make complaints about the strings, and the swift and bright music is bathed in the spring breeze. It seems that there is no difference, but it seems that all are different, and then gradually immersed in the melody. John Kennedy's speech calling for the national people to join the Vietnam war seems to be still on the radio. John-Kennedy

Now it's 1961, but no one knows that two years later, Kennedy will be shot and die young; After that, the United States will be mired in the Vietnam War.

……

One song after another, the whole kerosene lamp bar is infatuated. At the end of the performance, people still can't seem to come out, but they are still silent in the madness and beauty of that era. Now people have a vague understanding of why the sixties belong to the age of folk songs, and why they can't give birth to those gifted talents and talents any more Talented artists.

Happiness with bitterness, happiness with regret. At the end of the performance, people still stay in the bar and don't want to leave for a long time.

Levine left the stage, came to the side, and saw Stanley and George sitting side by side.

"Thank you." Stanley said with a smile, and his reddish eyes revealed the surge and excitement of his heart. "You should know that these audiences are here for you. Those classics that have long been annihilated in history are now beginning to shine again. It's a good thing, it's a good thing. "

Stanley nodded and repeated in a low voice, not noticing that it was Levine, not Langley, who was standing in front of him.

"Hard work." George held up his beer in homage.

After tonight's shooting, in fact, there is no need for Langley to continue to perform, because all the audience present today will be paid as mass actors, which is their job; But in order to express his gratitude, Langley chose to perform for an hour and really shared a wonderful night with his fans.

Levine said, "for a singer, standing there is the only way to live. So... "He shrugged and didn't go on. Everything was silent, but the words were meaningful.

"Excuse me, can we?" Ethan's intrusion interrupts their conversation, and Joel has been unreasonable and can't wait to pull Levine to turn away. Looking at Stanley and George's helpless smile, Ethan opens his hands to express his apology, and then quickly turns to catch up.

"Love for the past," which song is born iver's? Right? " What about Charlie boy? Is this song yours Joel asked eagerly, only to see Levine nodding in the affirmative, and Joel continued, "so, can we use it? I mean, in this movie? As a performance, or as a soundtrack? "

"I don't think it's a good idea." Levine shook his head. "You see, these two songs were created later. They don't fit in with the style of the 1960s. Although the content and style seem to be similar, this is the ballad. If you want to use it behind the scenes, or in future concerts, there's absolutely no problem, but in the movie? It's a bad idea. "

Levine, to be honest, looked at Joel and was ready to retort. He then said, "but if you insist, I have no problem. As for Bon iver, you should cable him for his opinion. "

"You and he are not friends?" Joel asked.

"No, it's not." Levine said sincerely, "if you can introduce us, I'd be very happy."

Looking at Ethan and Joel in deep thought, Levine patted them on the shoulder. "I'll go and have a rest. You can call me if you have something." With that, Levine turned and walked towards Paul and Annie. A big smile appeared on his face and he began to say hello from a distance. "How about the performance?"

"Jesus Christ, you are a madman." Paul sighed. He got up and gave a big hug. His face was full of smiles.

But Annie didn't make any movement. Levine was slightly stunned. "Annie? What's up? Don't you like the performance just now? "

Annie cocked her mouth, shook her head, put her hands on her chest, and shrank back, as if she were dodging Levine and approaching Paul. This was a very confusing move. Then Annie said angrily, "you're not Langley, you're not." After a glance, he said firmly again, "I know, you are not, you are not..." and his eyes were covered with a thin layer of water mist.

The boundary between the Pioneer Village and the kerosene lamp bar has disappeared completely, and the blurred boundary between the 1960s and the real contemporary has finally emerged again.
