Chapter 68
He sat on a high chair.
Zhou Haowen put his guitar on the stand, grabbed the topic on the microphone stand, and said in a steady voice:
"Hello, everyone. I am director Zhou Haowen. The song I brought you is "Horse Herding City." I hope you will like it."
Shh, shh, shh...
Facing the microphone and the crowded seats, Zhou Haowen quickly got into the state.
It was a whistle!
If Zhou Haowen had forced the duck to go on the shelf and the bar guests were cheering, they would have been looking forward to it.
So when Zhou Haowen's singing sounded, they knew that Zhou Haowen undoubtedly created this song.
The rhythmic whistle sounded, and the guests in the bar quieted down.
Dilraba Dilmurat, Tong Liya, Qin Hao, Wang Jingchun, and others all raised their heads and put down their glasses, waiting for Zhou Haowen's surprise.
Li Bingbing looked at Zhou Haowen on the stage on the second floor with interest.
Zhou Haowen's generous, warm, and healing voice sang:
"Traveling in the streets and buildings
There are horses and hunting grounds in my heart
The most amazing fragile confusion
But just like that..."
The song's style carries the melodiousness and sentimentality of Russian folk songs. Although the guitar accompanies it, it still can't suppress Zhou Haowen's mellow voice!
The lyrics of the first paragraph, mixed with a slightly melancholy melody, depict a vivid picture:
The empty streets are full of neon lights, tall buildings, crowds of people, and pedestrians walking hurriedly...
Looking at the picture in front of me, I think of the green grass and the galloping horses on the grass. Everything is incompatible with this city.
The simple lyrics express loneliness and confusion and instantly catch the audience's ears!
"There are always uncertainties outside the sky. There are always mountains outside the mountains. There are always other places. After falling and bumping, my heart will still return to the old place..." Zhou Haowen's tone rose a little, and the lyrics suddenly became broad, but after careful consideration, it felt full of desolation. This desolation obviously has nothing to do with the guests in the bar, but it makes them think of their own lives. Imagine leaving their hometown and coming to this unfamiliar city to work hard. I can't remember how many years it has been. Every day's life is full of work, overtime, and socializing, and the salary is pitifully low. Many times, they really want to be a peerless hero riding a horse and galloping in the hunting ground rather than being imprisoned in a desolate city. In this strange city, they have suffered a lot and shed a lot of sweat, but even if they are exhausted physically and mentally, they may be unable to exchange for a house. What they miss most is the hometown that once warmed them! "The pain and itch of wandering in the city
Missed the beloved girl
The idea that was announced to the world
Has disappeared..."
Once the emotion is infused into the song, it is difficult to release it again unless the song ends.
From the perception of life in the city, it has shifted to the emotional setbacks and frustrations of dreams in youth.
They are just wandering in the buildings cast by steel and concrete and have long forgotten their dreams.
Even the girl they love most was missed in the end, becoming the eternal pain in life.
"Doing whatever you want is frivolous
Being unable to guard against sadness
Later, maturity was regarded as a folk remedy..."
When the song was sung to this point, many people suddenly became sad, and a warm current flowed from the bottom of their hearts and then rushed up to the tear glands.
The two sisters, Li Bingbing and Li Xue, 's eyes turned red in an instant, and they quickly gathered a little crystal.
In the beginning, they left their hometown and came to the city from a small city with their dreams. They were young and frivolous and put down their lofty words to break out of their own world in this city.
But when I really started to work hard, I realized how naive my frivolous and bold words were!
When I got used to bearing the pain alone and striving to make progress alone, I found that I had grown up and understood that maturity is the remedy to cure pain, sadness... everything!
"When all the things I want to say, want, and love are squeezed into my heart, the suitcase can't hold the faraway place I want to go..."
The climax came, and Zhou Haowen's generous voice was full of vicissitudes at that moment. After the voice rose, it became extremely penetrating.
This song directly penetrated some people's hearts, making their already red eyes burst instantly!
A climax poked the tear point!
Yes, a heart that is only the size of a fist has to bear so much pressure from life, emotions, and work—like a boulder.
Faced with this helpless situation, people are always thinking about escaping and leaving!
But where can they go?
Their bodies can go anywhere, but can that small suitcase hold their souls?
Where can they comfort their wounded hearts?
"This coming and going, giving and owing
is a kind of praise
The wind blows the grass low and sees melancholy
At least there is light when you look up..."
The sadness in some people's hearts is infinitely magnified, but even if they rack their brains, they can't find the answer they want.
Forget it, forget it!
The passers-by in life, what fate gives them and owes them, should all be regarded as a kind of praise and reward.
Life is only a few decades long. Although there are disappointments, sadness, and melancholy, we must always look forward.
At least when we look up and look forward, there is light and hope ahead!
...
Shhhhh!
"Traveling in the streets and buildings
There are horses and hunting grounds in my heart
The most amazing fragile confusion
But just like that..."
The main song part is over, and the chorus still starts with a whistle.
It has a familiar melody and tune, but the guests in the bar still haven't returned from the song.
Compared to the layered introduction of the main song, the chorus part has a deeper understanding.
It turns out that the song is about life!
The world is too big, and we are too small. So many people are feathers floating in this world all the time!
This life is too long, and the ideal is too small, so we are all running back and forth; let our small hearts grow!
Wandering does not mean there is nowhere to put it, but faith matures and grows when it hurts!
So, many people understand what this song hides:
It is the openness of walking in one breath, the upstream of the years, the passion that bursts out after careful reflection, and it is always on the road...
One day, you will become the way you like!
"Swallow the troubles, swallow the pain, and accept it.
Don't tell others.
Who hasn't let down a few expensive times..."
The climax of the song is repeated. The guests originally thought that the song would be repeated when it sang, "At least there is light when you look up."
But they didn't expect the lyrics to change at the end.
Compared with the previous ones, there are more responsibilities for being born as a human being here!
It is said that young people are frivolous and fearless, but who has not let down a few good times?
As for life, work, and emotions, those troubles and pains encountered, hide them in the deepest part of your heart.
These troubles and pains are a person's experience and precious wealth, which cannot be told to outsiders!
"If the boy laughs, cries, and is tired, and says he wants to wander around and leave behind the appearance of an adult and sees the years are tense, there will always be someone who will be your distant place!"
The song is coming to an end. At the end of the question, Zhou Haowen added a beautiful vision: If you are listening to the song and meet a boy who is crying, tired, and shouting that he wants to wander around, please give him the most sincere smile!
Because we always believe that after experiencing these pains and hardships in life, a person will mature.
We always believe that someone must be waiting for him in the distance!
So far, the song has finally ended! Zhou Haowen stood up from his high chair, bowed deeply to the guests in the bar, then turned and walked off the stage without looking back!
