In the empty bar, Levine, holding his guitar, sang lonely and lonely. His socks and shoes were soaked. He didn't even have a winter coat. He had nothing but a guitar and a song. He sat calmly in front of bud Grossman, at the end of the journey, humming the tune of vicissitudes.
He sang in a hoarse voice, "can I entreat you to open the right side of my body and find my baby? Find my baby
Emily supported her cheek with the palm of her right hand. The hot tears fell down one by one like broken pearls. The sad and moving lyrics were dancing between her lips and teeth. The uncontrollable sadness reverberated in her chest, just like a kite that couldn't find a foothold.
Henry VIII had six wives in his life, and queen Jane was his third. Although he had the world, which was the most powerful time in England and Ireland, the love of his life was always Jane; Unfortunately, Jane died after giving birth to Edward. This is a lingering memory of Henry VIII. After his death, he was buried with Jane.
Queen Jane.
Oh, Queen Jane.
Jim and Jane's Jane.
The new life in Jane's body. Jane never asked if he would stay or if he wanted to stay; Jane never asked if he loved her.
It was the most precious dream and soul in Levine's heart, but it disappeared forever because of Mike's death, deeply buried in the bottom of his heart, forever dusty. So, bud said, his music doesn't feel connected to the audience.
It is also the softest tenderness and the most precious soul in Levine's heart. His two children, one is two years old but has no chance to see it, and the other will never say goodbye without saying a word, as if he and his father were two complete strangers.
Behind the melodious and graceful melody, there are too many stories hidden. In Levine's tired and vicissitudes of humming, like a slowly flowing poem, he carefully narrates the wounds and pain in the soul, hidden in the stories of Henry VIII and queen Jane. Only when he really calms down, can he catch the fragmented emotional fragments.
Emily just looked at Levine quietly and couldn't help crying. He's an asshole, but he's a crazy asshole.
Levine slightly lowered his eyes, outlined a tired smile at the corner of his mouth, revealing the inner softness and vulnerability. The light sadness loomed in the corner of his eyes, and disappeared in the hazy halo of light and shadow in a twinkling of an eye. He sang like this: "people sing and dance, on the day of the birth of the prince; But poor queen Jane, whom I love most, lies like a cold stone and sleeps forever
"I don't see any business value," danbad said
Emily looked at Levine's tired, confused, bitter and sad eyes through her hazy eyes. Her eyes were gradually blurred. The hot tears fell down and scalded the softest part of her soul. Then she heard Levine's breath and answered, "OK."
He said, OK.
The bruised soul finally can no longer bear all the weight, exhausted to surrender, gave up the resistance, gave up the struggle, gave up the effort, quietly and peacefully sat in place, frankly accepted his fate, but no one knows, in the past section of the road, how far he has gone.
"I'm working on a trio. Two men and a woman. You can't be a singer. But if you're willing to trim your beard, change it to a goatee, and hide in the shadows, we can try to see if your voice matches the other two. Would you like to do harmony? "
"No Levine replied, then changed his answer, "yes. But, er... No. Forget it, I used to have a partner. "
"Aha, that makes sense. My advice? You're restructuring. "
Levine gently retracted his jaw. "That's a good suggestion."
Steven Spielberg awkwardly raised his right hand and wiped the tears on his cheek, but the tears couldn't stop. A series of warm tears fell down again, and the deep sadness began to flow. Because of that era, because of that dream, but also because of the partner who died forever.
It belongs to the most moving and sincere part of Levine's music. It sleeps forever with Mike's departure.
Mike chose to leave the world in a decisive way, cutting off his connection with music and dreams; Levine chose to stay in the world in an unyielding way, striving to fight, striving to be right, but he was eventually abandoned by reality.
Dream? It has no commercial value; Art? No one cares until they have commercial value.
Steven, the director of "Jurassic Park", "et" and "Raider" with childlike innocence and fantasy, has shot "number one player" with his fantastic ideas in the distant future, and his dream is always the most important driving force for his creation; But now, he watched Levine gasp for breath under the pressure of reality.
When he saw Levine's feet deep and shallow in the snow, he didn't care about his wet shoes and socks. In the cold wind, he grabbed his thin coat and continued to move forward.
Steven's bitterness and happiness could not be expressed in words at all. He just raised his right hand and put it on his lips. He listened to the noise in the movie quietly, as if it was the most beautiful melody in the world.
……
Levine stood by the road and hitchhiked back to New York. The other side is a tired young man, the only requirement is that Levine can also drive, which allows him to have a good sleep.
On the way back, Levine saw the signs leading to Akron many times in a row.
Looking at the small town under the cover of snowflakes, Levine's vision was so quietly solidified, again and again, silently looking at the hazy halo. Akron, Diane's hometown, where the two-year-old is.
But in the end, he didn't change direction or put on the brake. Move on.
In drowsiness, a rhubarb cat flashed in front of the headlights. Levine suddenly woke up, slammed on the emergency brake, opened the door in panic, and saw the blood on the front bar. He was stunned.
Turning around slowly, I saw the limping rhubarb cat in the mist, running towards the woods, and finally disappeared completely. Levine stood in the same place, lost and out of his mind, with a touch of sadness and confusion in his eyes.
Back in New York, Levine gave up.
As suggested by his sister, Levine is ready to go back to the ship again, go to sea as a sailor, and maintain his life through a relatively stable job. He emptied all his savings and paid the dues he lacked in the past. Last Friday, he was ready to go to sea again and return to the life he had been trying to avoid.
That's the end.
Levine came to the nursing home to visit his father, but when he played his father's favorite music, he found that his father peed his pants.
Levine came to her sister's house, looking for her first mate's certificate and helmsman's certificate, but found that her sister had lost all the old documents.
Levine came to Jane and Jim's house, put down his guitar, announced his surrender.
Levine came to the union building to apply for a new certificate, but found that it would cost eighty-five dollars to apply for a new certificate.
Levine came to the gas light cafe to get drunk, but was thrown out of the cafe.
Because Levine heard Papi show off his success in getting Jane.
Tomorrow night, the reporter of "time weekly" will appear in the gas light cafe. In order to give Levine a chance to perform, Jane let Papi do it.
He owes Jane again.
In a rage, Levine lost control and was thrown out of the cafe after a riot.
It's another homeless night. Levine tried to find someone he hadn't offended in five blocks, but in the end, he found the groffins' house. They opened their arms generously and kindly, welcomed Levine and allowed him to stay in their house
Mr. and Mrs. grosvens are entertaining guests. They think that Jim's commercial song "please, Mr. Kennedy" is very entertaining. This song has achieved great success. The royalty is enough to change a person's life, but Levien chose to give up.
Lillian warmly welcomed Levine, not only did not blame him, but also offered to apologize.
Levine, who had quietly gathered his spikes, became embarrassed.
The rhubarb cat found its own way home. Levine thought the grovens had a new cat, but they said it was the original one, "Ulysses."
"Ulysses? Is that his name? " It was not until now that Levine understood the name of the cat.
Ulysses.
Emily could not help repeating the term again between her lips and teeth. Then she finally understood why the cat appeared throughout the whole story, why Levine accidentally bumped into the rhubarb cat, and then watched it limp away with a lost face, why the cat was always wandering and crashing, Why did he come back to where he was at last.
"Ulysses."
The next morning, Ulysses wakes Levine, and the grovens leave their apartment early for work, leaving Levine alone.
After a round trip, he came back to where he was, as if nothing had changed. Just this time, when he left, Ulysses tried to escape again, but Levine stopped the little guy in time and did not repeat the same mistake. Then he closed the door of the apartment and left.
Another gas light cafe, another "hang me, oh, hang me.".
It's another cream glow, another guitar and a voice.
