Chapter 1236 Running wildly
Melody, galloping.
Singing, publicity.
Enthusiasm and passion are fully released, dancing on the top of the universe.
One wave after another, the rolling torrent continues to hit us. Thousands of eyes are all focused on the figure in the center of the stage. There is no spotlight and no need for it. He is the focus. .
Unique.
The casual and chic outfit showed the spirit of smiling at the situation at this moment, so much so that the entire Staples Center was crawling under his feet and trembling.
It’s unbelievable that such a simple, rough and plain stage bursts out with such energy.
The world revolves around Anson at high speed.
Up to the peak, Anson took a deep breath and changed his voice.
"If they say, who cares that another light is extinguished, it is shining and shining under the billions of stars in the sky."
"Who cares that someone's time ends, if we are just a drop in the ocean, Let's hold on, hurry up." (Note 1)
So gentle, yet so tenacious, like a ray of sunshine tearing through the boundless darkness and falling down, the world is dark blue and slowly brightens.
Then the guitar stops playing, followed by the cello, then the keyboard.
One by one, like the stars extinguishing, the melody becomes simple again. In the end, only the bass is left, lingering low but firmly around Anson’s singing,
"Who cares about another light going out?"
"Yes, I care."
In the end, the bass also disappeared into nothingness, and only Anson's singing rippled in the air.
The show is over?
A song ended, but Staples Center still could not recover. During the band’s performance on August 31st, they lost their mind and judgment, gradually lost themselves in the melody and singing, and let themselves go. Wander in the world of music by yourself.
Until then, he finally regained consciousness, but before he could move his head, Anson gently tapped the guitar case, and a crisp tapping sound came through the microphone.
Archie’s heart skipped a beat: “Wake me up”?
For the first time, on August 31, the genes in the blood of the band’s fans started to move, and they were already ready for carnival even before they heard the melody.
On the stage, Anson’s mouth curved upwards and his smile bloomed.
"Oh oh oh, oh oh..."
Wait, is this "Long Live Life"?
Archie was stunned.
The slap guitar and the rhythmic rhythm are clearly "wake me up".
However, Anson's humming was "Long live life".
What's going on? Is it also a brand new piece like the first performance?
That kind of curiosity, mixed with excitement and excitement, rolled and burned in his chest.
Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang.
It was Anson who was still playing the guitar alone and humming the melody of "Long Live Life". The two notes intertwined and collided, giving off new life.
Then, Miles began——
The melodious and graceful cello strings sounded slowly.
Then, Lily hits the keys, using an amateur's one-finger Zen method. The music is like a tinkling clear spring, jumping in the continuous strings of the cello.
Then, Connor plucked the bass, and the deep and deep string sounds slowly spread in the air, but at once the soul was injected into the performance, and the vitality of the melody slowly awakened.
Lively and powerful.
This is "wake me up"!
However, Anson's distant and ethereal singing voice was still humming "Long Live Life" softly. He never expected that two completely different songs would actually intertwine and collide, creating an incredible chemical reaction, a magnificent and The majestic emotions spread in Nuoda's space.
Sometimes gentle, sometimes violent.
Sometimes he whispers, sometimes he roars.
In addition to the perfect connection of the melody, people once again feel the uniqueness of the August 31 band. Everything revolves around the instrument. Compared with the melody or singing, the instrument is everything. core. During this soul-stirring performance, the staff actually appeared again -
Drums!
One of the snare drums was placed alone in front of Anson, but Anson did not pick up the drumstick. Instead, he spread his right hand and kept low on the drum head and struck it quickly, creating a series of graceful rhythms and driving the melody to reach the peak.
Singing starts now!
"Wake me up" is exactly "Wake me up"!
It has been exactly two years since the band performed this song on the streets of Manhattan on August 31, but apart from the "Tonight Show", this is the first time the band has performed on a formal music stage. It's been a long wait.
Although this was the first time to watch a live performance, almost no one was able to feel the melody and get excited following the drum beats.
The performance that was once only heard in rumors is now being performed in front of us. The strings of reason are loosening little by little during the performance, and are completely lost in the solo performances of the four band members showing off their skills, and they are uncontrollably involved. In that storm of passion.
Then, party like hell -
Bang, bang, bang, Anson bangs the snare drum.
"Oh oh oh", the band members sang at the top of their lungs.
Archie could no longer control himself, raised his hands high and jumped to his heart's content, joining the band members in singing, and the melody from the heart and soul was singing freely.
The smile bloomed brightly and happily. I didn't even realize it, it just rose up purely and simply, blooming without reservation.
Obviously, Archie isn't the only one.
As soon as you turn your head, you can see Gloria and the other friends waiting at the entrance of the Staples Center. One by one, they enter carnival mode, throw away their reason, give up their reserve, and use their bodies to Feel the rhythm and melody.
Laughter overflowed in my chest.
No one is exempt, including the guests inside the Staples Center.
Everyone, stand up.
At this moment, there is no age, no gender, no national boundaries, nothing. Everything returns to its original nature, just presenting the most essential and simple appearance of music, awakening the happiness deep in the soul, and forming a link.
Thus, action becomes easier.
Raise your arms high, jump and sing.
That's all.
All the guests also sang along with the August 31 band.
This scene is unimaginable.
Standing up and applauding, jumping in sync, this is incredible. This can only be seen during the Beatles' 40th anniversary performance.
But in front of me, not only was the carnival scene re-enacted, but there was also a chorus, which turned the Grammy Awards ceremony into a band concert on August 31st.
It’s spectacular!
In the midst of the full ensemble, Anson once again recreated the classic, throwing the drumsticks behind him and pushing the performance to its peak amidst the roar.
"Wake me up when I reach the end, when I am wiser and older."
"I have been searching for myself hard, but I have never found that I am lost... I have never found that I am lost. , oh oh oh...I never realized that I was lost!"
One wave after another, the Staples Center transformed into a volcano with continuous blasting high notes, and a rolling heat wave was sweeping the entire venue.
So, is this the end?
No, there was another change on the stage.
Behind the four people, four curtains slowly lowered, changing the stage scenery all at once, and as Anson hummed, the lights also slowly changed.
It's like a dream, it's hard to distinguish between reality and reality, and you escape into a dream in an instant.
