At 12 o'clock in the evening, many people are already immersed in sleep.
But for other people, their nightlife has just begun.
The previous magic show ended and Sister Na stepped onto the stage.
The performance stage in the Forgettable Bar was not big, and she could not count how many times she had sung on it. Even with her eyes closed, she could stand in a very familiar position.
However, Sister Na was particularly excited and excited tonight, just like the mood she felt when she went on a date with a boy for the first time. Even if the result may not be wonderful, the process is undoubtedly worth recalling.
Facing more than 200 customers in the bar who she knew or didn't know, she tightly held the microphone in her hand.
For this first singing, Sister Na made a lot of preparations and led the Hesitation Band to rehearse again and again.
Although Da Qin was very supportive and didn't mind, she really felt that she couldn't feel sorry for her friend.
Therefore, she will never allow herself to sing badly!
Behind Sister Na, Qin Hanyang was leading the Hesitation Band on the stage.
They will also accompany Sister Na's performance.
Finally, there is Lu Chen.
Before rushing to Wangyoucao, Lu Chen never thought that Qin Hanyang actually left a place for himself when arranging the music. The guitar accompaniment of the two measures was very simple and light, but the meaning was completely different.
It’s a little surprise Easter egg!
Bang! Bang! Bang~
Before Sister Na started singing, warm applause rang out in the bar.
Among the people who came to the Forgettable Bar tonight to support her, many of them are regular customers who know Sister Na, and many are her friends in the circle. Everyone already knows that she will sing a new song for the first time.
"Sister Na, come on!"
Passionate shouts and loud whistles followed, easily pushing the atmosphere to a climax.
It also brought a little more crystal tears to Sister Na's eyes.
She is an old woman who has experienced many ups and downs in life, and she would not be easily moved by anything!
"Thank you, thank you all very much!"
Sister Na took a deep breath, then raised the microphone and said: "I am very happy to have so many friends coming to support me tonight. I am really happy and happy. Thank you for bringing it to everyone first!"
"Thank You" is a light rock piece that became a hit in China in the early 1990s. The melody is passionate and full of passion and vitality. The lyrics are positive and sunny, and contain the power of hard work and improvement.
The classic charm will not fade easily over time, but will become more mellow and touching. This song has been covered countless times and can often be heard in Houhai bars with various versions.
Lu Chen also played and sang "Thank You" here.
Sister Na's singing style is completely different from his. With the accompaniment of the Wandering Band, she fully explored the inner spirit of the song and sang a true rock and roll flavor with her unique voice.
"Thank you for being with me every minute of my life, giving me sunshine and strength!"
"Thank you for your support without regrets, which helped me get rid of the darkness and made me no longer cowardly!"
"Thank you!"
When the song ended, the audience burst into applause!
Although it was a warm-up song, Sister Na performed it very well, with perfect skills and emotions. She showed her profound skills and experience, and she was worthy of her status as the eldest sister among the singers in the Forgettable Grass Bar.
Many of the customers present are knowledgeable about music, so they naturally enjoy the music and won’t be stingy with applause.
"Thanks!"
After singing "Thank You", Sister Na bowed to everyone and thanked everyone.
When the applause subsided, she continued: "The second song I will sing next, I believe many people already know, will be a new song, a new song that I have prepared for a long time!"
"And this song was written especially for me by our young music talent Lu Chen!"
Sister Na turned around and looked at Lu Chen, who was sitting with the Wandering Band, with a hint of gratitude in her eyes.
"Little Music Talent" is Lu Chen's new nickname that has just been circulated in Houhai circles.
Houhai's circle is not big, so any news often spreads quickly. The two original works he sang at the music carnival night were sold at an astonishingly high price, which has already spread throughout the circle.
In addition, Lu Chen has been singing "My Deskmate" and "Cinderella" in Wangyoucao, so this nickname is worthy of its name.
Sister Na added: "To be precise, it should be our handsome young man!"
"Xiao Lu is a handsome guy and a talented guy!"
Applause and laughter rang out at the same time. Lu Chen stood up awkwardly holding his guitar and waved to everyone.
You guys should stop teasing handsome guys, I’m not the star of the night!
The next moment, the prelude sounded quietly.
The beam of the stage spotlight hit Sister Na, making her the center of attention.
"The name of this song is, I Want to Have a Family."
Facing the audience, she suppressed her smile, half-closed her eyes and listened quietly to the prelude that had just begun.
Then very naturally, she sang the song she had practiced countless times.
"I want to have a family,
A place that doesn't need to be gorgeous.
when I'm tired,
I will think of it.
I want to have a home,
A place that doesn’t need to be big,
When I'm frightened,
I won't be afraid.
…”
The beautiful and moving melody, straightforward and realistic lyrics coupled with just the right arrangement and accompaniment, under the perfect interpretation of Sister Na's unique voice, seem to flow like water in everyone's heart, touching the soul!
"...
Who wouldn’t want a home,
But there are people who don't have it.
With tears streaming down my face,
You can only wipe it gently by yourself.
I envy him so much,
You can go home after being injured,
And I can only be alone,
Looking for my home alone.
…”
Tears welled up in Sister Na's eyes again. She closed her eyes, afraid of shedding tears.
Happy families are always similar, and every unhappy family has its own misfortune. Sister Na's family is undoubtedly one of the most unfortunate. She left home and wandered away from home when she was young, and has never returned home for more than 20 years.
.
Because that home no longer exists, it is a distant memory that I want to forget.
However, deep down in her heart, she longs for a real home of her own!
Tears still flowed down uncontrollably, but the accompaniment and singing became more high-spirited and fierce!
"...
Although I have never had a warm home,
But I also grew up gradually,
As long as your heart is filled with love,
will be cared for,
I can’t blame anyone,
You can only rely on yourself for everything.
Although you have a home and need nothing,
Why can't I see your smiling face?
Never say there is no love,
Stay away from home all day,
same age,
different minds,
Let me have a home!
…”
While singing loudly and venting her emotions, Sister Na resisted not looking at someone sitting in the audience at this moment, because she was afraid that her eyes would reveal her heart and the pain of being rejected.
She has been rejected too many times.
Beneath her strong and optimistic appearance is a fragile and sensitive heart.
After singing the first time, the applause rang out again, neat and warm.
Many people stood up and applauded, applauded vigorously, and some even had tears in their eyes.
Like Sister Na, they all have been wandering in the capital for many years. Although some have achieved successful careers, some have an annual salary of hundreds of thousands and can afford to live in an apartment hotel and pay for a car and mortgage.
But they once lived in basements, were crowded in the subway, relied on instant noodles to survive day after day, faced countless difficulties and setbacks, and were as numb as walking zombies in the increasingly heavy work and entertainment.
At that time, and even now, they all longed to have a warm home, a considerate and kind husband or a gentle and beautiful wife, and an obedient and sensible child who could go out happily as a family on weekends.
play.
No matter what you experience outside, home will always be a haven of tranquility and a sanctuary of healing!
This song "I Want to Have a Family" sings out the voices of everyone and arouses a resonance from the soul. They feel the same and they can't help it!
"I want to have a home, a place that doesn't need to be gorgeous!"
Lu Chen was sitting on the piano bench, holding his guitar and looking at Sister Na on the stage, but his mind was thousands of miles away.
At this moment, he missed his home extraordinarily!
