"Maybe one day, I will be old and homeless, please leave me in that time!"
"If one day I leave quietly, please bury me in this spring."
"In spring~"
When Qin Hanyang, the lead singer of Wandering Band, finished singing "In Spring", the whole audience was excited!
This rock song was originally written by Lu Chen and will soon become a classic after being performed by the Wandering Band and Qin Hanyang. It is being circulated in the streets and has been covered by many singers in bars, squares and underground passages.
But no matter how wonderful the cover is, it can't match the charm of the original song.
Tonight, a large number of guests gathered in the Forgettable Bar. In addition to the regular customers who often come here, there are also many colleagues from other bars. Everyone hurried over after getting the news.
Even if it affects their work and delays in making money, they don't care.
It’s like a pilgrimage!
The people who like this song the most and are most easily moved by it are not ordinary people who like pop music, but these singers who are wandering around and hanging out at the bottom.
Because what "In Spring" sings is their experience, their aspirations and desires!
Some people even think that they are extremely lucky to be able to hear and sing this song.
So tonight, at the Wangyoucao Bar, I saw the Wandering Band live and heard Qin Hanyang's singing with my own ears. Everyone was so excited that they wished they were on the stage.
Their emotions, which had nowhere to express themselves, were all expressed with applause and cheers!
Agitated like a tide!
After several minutes, the bar finally calmed down.
"Thanks!"
Qin Hanyang said into the microphone: "Thank you so many friends for coming over tonight and listening to us sing."
"Here I would first like to thank Brother Jianhao, our boss Chen Jianhao, for his consistent support to me and the Wandering Band. Without him, there would be no Wandering Band!"
He raised his fist towards Chen Jianhao, who was leaning against the bar, and then hit his chest hard.
Qin Hanyang was expressing his respect.
Chen Jianhao toasted in return.
The applause rang out again. Warm and sincere.
Chen Jianhao exchanged 5% of the shares of the Wangyoucao Bar for the copyright of "In Spring" and gave it to the Wandering Band as a farewell gift. This has long become a legend in Houhai.
When his name is mentioned now, who wouldn't give a thumbs up and praise his righteousness?
Nowadays, there are many singers who desperately want to squeeze into the Forgettable Bar, even if they are a singer on request!
It's your luck to be able to follow such a boss.
Qin Hanyang continued: "Then what I want to thank is our musical talent Lu Chen. I want to thank him for writing a good song for the Wandering Band, a truly good song!"
He also clenched his fists and saluted Lu Chen who was standing on the edge of the stage.
Lu Chen was speechless. He cupped his fists and returned the greeting.
The applause that has not subsided has become more intense, setting off a new storm!
Lu Chen, who doesn’t know how outstanding his talent is, each of his original works is so outstanding.
It was he who created the Wandering Band, and now he himself is on his way to a bright star.
"Now I invite Lu Chen to sing for everyone!"
As soon as Qin Hanyang finished speaking, the atmosphere at the scene reached its climax in an instant. Applause came and went.
Lu Chen walked onto the stage with a smile.
At this moment, two waiters pushed out the piano placed in the corner of the stage.
Seeing such a scene, everyone was stunned.
Does Lu Chen want to play the piano?
No matter whether they are new customers or old customers, they have never seen Lu Chen play the piano.
Just listen to Lu Chen say: "Today is a very special day"
"Like Brother Hanyang, I am here to first thank Brother Jianhao, our boss, for taking me in during the most difficult time in my life and giving me a job that can provide me with food and clothing. Thank you!"
He bowed deeply to Chen Jianhao and thanked him.
The wine in Chen Jianhao's glass sloshed out. He didn't expect that Lu Chen would do this to him.
This old Jianghu was a little at a loss.
Lu Chen continued: "I can't thank you enough. To all the regular customers who came to the bar tonight, it was your support that allowed me to persevere and gave me the courage to work hard. Thank you!"
He bowed to the guests again.
Everyone still applauded. Although the applause was no longer so violent, it was extremely sincere.
Several sentimental female guests even had red eyes.
Because they knew that it was not easy for Lu Chen to be where he is today, and many people saw his diligence.
Lu Chen straightened up again and said: "So, I want to give a song, an original new song, to Brother Jianhao, and also to all the friends here. I hope that Forgettable Grass will always be our spiritual harbor.
.”
"The name of this song is called Wangyoucao, and it was completed by me, Brother Hanyang, and the Wandering Band!"
People immediately became excited. No one expected that Lu Chen would sing a new song, and he would be cooperating with the Wandering Band.
Forget-you grass!
Lu Chen sat down in front of the piano that had just been installed. He said into the microphone: "I first learned the piano because I wanted to please girls. I never thought about performing for everyone, so don't laugh if I don't play well."
Everyone laughed.
The next moment, a soft piano prelude sounded, instantly making the scene quiet.
Lu Chen's singing immediately reached everyone's ears.
"Let us who are weak know how to be cruel,
Face every cold moment in life.
The one I loved reluctantly,
Often they are destined but not separated.
Who takes whom seriously?
Who feels sorry for whom,
Who is the only one who is.
The scarred innocent soul,
He no longer acknowledges that there is any God.
Beautiful life, kind people,
Heartache and sadness,
Too insignificant,
Coming and going, you and I meet,
It is better to meet each other than to look at each other and smile lightly.
…”
To be fair, Lu Chen's piano skills are very average, so average that children who have passed the amateur level 4 or 5 exams can easily kill him in an instant, which is completely incomparable with his guitar finger-picking skills.
But this song didn't require any complicated piano playing skills. Lu Chen played it very seriously. He didn't hit any wrong notes. Even though he just touched the piano again a few days ago, he still hit the rhythm and melody accurately.
This is enough, because what really touches people is the song itself, the emotion he incorporates into the singing.
This is a warm and sentimental work. The whole song starts from the cruel and sad situation constructed at the beginning, and finally constructs a "poetic" optimistic life situation and a "forget-me-not grass"-like life and survival situation, thus completing the story.
The journey from simplicity to complexity and back to simplicity.
"...
Forget-worn grass, just forget it,
How much do you know in your dreams?
Somewhere at the end of the world,
some small island,
A hug on a certain day, a certain year, a certain month.
Green riverside grass.
Wait quietly for eternity!
…”
After Lu Chen finished singing the first time, Qin Hanyang and the Wandering Band sang along: "Let us who are weak know how to be cruel, and face every coldness in life, and those we love reluctantly are often destined to be together!"
Their singing voices are deep and powerful, pushing the artistic conception of the song to a new level.
Then Lu Chen continued: "Who takes whom seriously, who feels sorry for whom. Who is the only person for whom?"
Everyone present listened carefully, they smiled, they were moved, and they seemed to understand something.
Life is unpredictable and time is ruthless, but we still have music to comfort ourselves!
The whole bar was enveloped in a very special atmosphere.
No one spoke for a long time until Lu Chen finished singing.
Chen Jianhao was the first to applaud.
Everyone seemed to be waking up from a dream. They clapped their hands and there were no cheers or whistles. There was only neat applause.
"Thanks!"
Lu Chen stood up and expressed his gratitude to everyone.
He picked up the microphone placed on the piano and said: "I will transfer the copyright of this Forgettable Grass to our bar forever and free of charge. It is my special gift to Brother Jianhao tonight."
The applause became louder and louder.
Lu Chen raised his hand to signal everyone to calm down, and he continued: "I think everyone must feel strange, right? Then you will know after listening to the song below!"
After plugging in the microphone again, Lu Chen sat down again.
The lights in the bar instantly went out!
Before everyone could exclaim, the sound of piano playing sounded again.
The exclamation was accompanied by a cry of surprise.
The next moment, the orange candlelight dispelled the darkness, and Sister Na was seen pushing a trolley from the backstage.
A huge multi-layered cake was placed on the carriage frame, with colorful candles on it!
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you"
I don’t know who started it, but everyone sang the happy birthday song in unison along with Lu Chen’s piano accompaniment.
The car was pushed in front of Chen Jianhao.
Sister Na smiled and said: "Jianhao, I wish you a happy birthday!"
Her smile looked exceptionally beautiful under the candlelight. This beauty has nothing to do with appearance.
Today is Chen Jianhao’s 40th birthday.
Chen Jianhao was completely stunned.
He finally understood why Lu Chen and the people from the Wandering Band came here at night, and why the old customers were so mysterious when they saw him, as if they were hiding something.
It turns out they had colluded long ago.
Today is Chen Jianhao’s 40th birthday, and he even forgot about it!
But someone remembers it.
He stared at Sister Na standing in front of him and said with difficulty: "Thank you, Nana."
There is no one else except Sister Na.
Tears instantly fell from her eyes. Sister Na smiled and said, "Make a wish and blow out the candles. Everyone is waiting!"
Chen Jianhao nodded.
He closed his eyes and made a wish silently, then took a deep breath and blew out all the candles!
In the past, Chen Jianhao thought this was very naive.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The lights in the bar are all on.
Accompanied by huge cheers, the colorful spray guns were unscrewed one after another, and countless colorful strips were shot into the air, and then fell down one after another, adding countless festive atmosphere to the scene.
The cheerful music started playing, turning the Forgettable Bar into a sea of joy.
