Late encore.
This is the agreement between Langley and heather, and also the secret between Langley and Don Quixote - the secret that only exists in the "one person's concert", no one knows, but no one forgets. It's just deeply buried in the heart. Whenever the melody starts, it's hidden in the musical notation and flows again.
Now, two years later, the late Encore is finally about to come true.
"Hey, does anyone know? If you owe someone an encore, how should you repay it? " Lan Li's smile rose gently, just like a butterfly flying towards the sun. Despite the pain of breaking the cocoon, he tried his best to shake his wings to welcome his own hope and rebirth.
Langley's slender fingertips begin to sketch the strings, just like the evening when he created the song in Mount Sinai Hospital.
It was an ordinary afternoon. He went to mount Sinai Hospital again to accompany the children. He sang and played games. After just 30 minutes of playing, he was exhausted, even harder than an hour's work in the Pioneer Village; Those raging winds and those gorgeous sunset, in the memory has become fuzzy, but still remember the flying kite.
At that time, Heather's condition had not deteriorated. Accompanied by her father and mother, she left the ward and came to the courtyard. She flew the kite that blue gift gave her. It was autumn, the sky was clear, and the kite opened its arms in the gale, embracing the blue sky, so arrogant and so free.
All of a sudden, the night devoured all the light and color, and the rich ink rolled down like this. Everything came too quickly, so that people could not react. Then, the first street lamp lights up, and then thousands of lights support the night of the whole city, isolating society from nature.
The wind seems to be more and more noisy, but it seems to enter a quiet world.
So we got up and searched for our destiny in the dark. I saw you scarred last night. I saw you dancing in the arms of the devil. The night is boundless, and I have nothing to do. My eyes are full of flames. They have never been extinguished because of silence. They have created beauty and crown. "
For a long time, Langley always believed that the inspiration of these words came from Chris Hemsworth. Because of the play "Thor" and the vanity fair, they were all searching for their own destiny in the dark, stumbling and bruised, in order to find a ray of light, even dancing with the devil.
But later, Langley finally realized that these musical symbols and lyrics belong to Heather cross. Because of that lengthy and tongue twister disease, her youth, her life and her dreams are all shrouded in the boundless darkness, faltering in search of a ray of life, but in vain after all.
Every word, every melody is pounded heavily on the chest.
"So we arrived at a lonely place that we couldn't go back to. You are the face that made me go through fire and water. This is the name that the children will inherit. You will build beauty and crown; Make it perfect and fly away. "
When he raised his eyes, lanli seemed to see Heather's figure again. He was wearing a white lace dress, and the smile at the corner of his mouth was blooming like a golden dawn. He was happy and joyful, and then he was singing bitterly and sweetly in accordance with the string of the guitar. The pain was healing quietly——
Because she never missed her dream after all, because she finally made perfect and went far away, because she finally arrived at the lonely place that couldn't go back, because she finally found don Quixotes walking side by side, because she finally found peace of mind again in the dark.
There is no superfluous flowery, no cumbersome accompaniment, everything is just a guitar and a voice. Lanli reinterprets and interprets this song in a way of returning to the original nature, and returns to the original intention of creating "beast" step by step, simple and pure
They are just a group of wild animals trapped in the lonely land. They rush left and right in the fog and darkness. They can't find their way forward, but they also lose their way back. So they stay in the same place with scars, and their own colors and edges are slowly and slowly worn away.
Some people are desperate for money; Some people trample their dreams on the ground; Some people go to self destruction stubbornly; Some people, firmly seize the opportunity to escape life; Some people, left in the same place, gradually lose their senses, become wild animals, and begin to hurt each other
Who can burn the boat, who can achieve the peak, who can realize the dream, everything is unknown. Only a very small number of people, firmly united, unswervingly protect each other's oath, go through fire and water, just to be able to dream back in the middle of the night, once again capture a ray of hope.
Just like the Quixotes in the same room.
After all, Heather didn't get to the end. She fell down and stayed here forever; But her dream is still not over.
"So when you are weak, when you kneel down, I will do my best in the rest of the time to protect your oath, live and true."
Heather's steps stopped, but Langley's steps are still moving forward. He carries on with Heather's dream.
In a trance, lanli seems to see the figure of heather, step by step on the stage. Under his gaze, he comes to the microphone and sings freely, just like standing on the stage of "American Idol", striving for his dream.
This late Encore belongs to Heather, who will eventually perform in person, just like Foxtrot, moving forward, moving right, moving back, moving left, returning to the origin, completing a perfect closed loop in the four beat dance steps, achieving a reincarnation.
Vaguely, there was a chorus in lanli's ears.
"So grass your dream, how dare you forget our scars."
Raising his eyes, Lan Li saw Yingying's tears in the dark of the whole scene, which were reflected by the stage lights, and the blurred faces were singing, one by one, for their own sake and for Heather's sake.
They will eventually join in the ranks of lanli, bear the dream of heather, and continue to fight in this lonely land. Because they are all Don Quixote, the Don Quixote with daydream and no one can understand. Even if he incarnates into a beast, they will still not forget his heart.
"I will become a beast for you. If you pay enough money, everything will not count. Few dreams can remember."
Rooney hesitated a little, because singing was not her strong point, but now she could not care about it. She just had an impulse in her mind. Then she gave up repressing her emotion, sang with the whole audience, joined in the line of lenley and also joined in the ranks of heather.
When the song broke through the throat, the smile and tears bloomed at the same time. Looking at Lan Li in the spotlight through the tears, Rooney no longer had any formality and obstacles, but was forgetful to sing aloud. Encore, who was two years late, finally sounded in Madison Square Garden.
They arrived at a lonely place where they couldn't go back. But they're not alone.
Even Justin, who was standing on the side platform, was in a bit of a mess. The melody that ED and Marcus sang softly came to his ears. He was the only one who couldn't open his mouth. Because of his pride and his strangeness, he could feel the surging emotion in the melody, so he was hit hard, surrendered and fragmented, But he didn't know the song, and he couldn't sing it.
So out of place lonely let Justin become extremely embarrassed.
For the first time, he realized that he had never really understood lanli, but lanli's melody and voice were absolutely worth listening to. The sadness and sadness, the perseverance and bitterness, the loneliness and desolation, are not Justin's real feelings in the past ten years?
Justin is so clumsy and embarrassed to sing in a low voice, no lyrics, just melody, catching the clear musical symbol like a spring, and singing along with it. Then his mood gradually eases down. Through the hazy and hot eyes, he quietly looks at the figure in the middle of the stage.
Then, he heard the guitar string stop, but all the audience's singing still did not stop, wantonly and arrogantly became the master of Madison Square Garden.
So they sang:
"So we arrived at a lonely place where we couldn't go back. You are the face that made me go through fire and water. This is the name that the children will inherit. It makes me charming and crown."
No accompaniment, no melody, just relying on the power of oratorio, but let Justin completely surrender. He didn't understand the story behind the song, and he didn't understand the meaning behind encore. He just captured his own memories and stories from the melody and song, and then completely broke the dike.
At this moment, Justin also saw the scars curled up in the solitude of their own. He is also a beast.
Standing in the audience, William raised his chin high and looked at the stage in front of him with pride. Although he was two years late, this Encore has finally become a reality; Although reluctant to part, the graduation ceremony finally came to a perfect end. They are still beasts in the lonely land, they are still carrying each other's dreams, they are still stubborn Don Quixote.
That's good.
