Chapter 138: The Attitude of Living
There are two main types of people in the pop music scene, one is musician and the other is singer.
A musician refers to a series of creative workers such as composing, lyrics, arranging, recording, and post-production, while a singer is a singer and a star.
But the two are not distinct, because there are singers who can create independently, and that is singer-songwriters!
Many singers, especially folk and rock singers, strive to be good singer-songwriters, and many of them succeed, while many more struggle to remain unknown all their lives.
Everyone is very aware of the difficulty of originality, so there is a natural respect for singer-songwriters.
Of course, those who rely on plagiarism and imitation to mix in the circle are not among them.
In the circle, singer-songwriters have a higher coffee position and forced style than ordinary singers, so Luo Kai, who wrote wonderful works such as "Once You" and "My Sky", in the eyes of everyone, is incomparable to the entire Triumph Band combined.
At this moment, there are many singers in the Black Tower Bar, all of them have heard Luo Kai's works, and even covered those songs, and naturally have respect for Luo Kai standing on the stage.
And now Luo Kai is going to sing his new work, which is undoubtedly a great surprise for them!
What's even more surprising is probably Sister Xia standing behind the bar.
Tonight's Triumph Band's performance has been a success, and Luo Kai's appearance is undoubtedly the icing on the cake, and the Black Tower Bar is definitely showing a big face in the circle.
If this new song is added, then she won't have to worry about business for a long time to come.
Fame can be turned into tangible benefits.
What Sister Xia is thinking about now is how to get the Triumph Band to come over every now and then to run a show.
On the stage, Luo Kai turned around and nodded to Lao Hei and the others.
Then he turned back into the microphone and said, "Alive, I hope you like it!"
The next moment, the light prelude melody suddenly sounded.
Luo Kai stared ahead, took a long breath, and waited a few syllables before plucking the strings to join the accompaniment.
Sing aloud.
"Every day I stand on a tall building and look at the little ants on the ground, their heads are big and their legs are thin. ”
"They're holding smartphones, they're wearing Nike Adi, they're going to be late for work, they're in a hurry!"
"My poor jeep, I haven't climbed a mountain or crossed a river in a long time..."
Indulging in long songs and singing spontaneously, this "Alive" has a relaxed and fast melody, sharp but not sharp lyrics, and sings the hearts of countless young people struggling in the hurried rhythm of life.
This is also a very life-oriented, grassroots, and down-to-earth work.
Luo Kai's choice of this song stems from the change in his attitude towards life after returning from a prosperous rebirth.
Although only two months have passed, Luo Kai now has already changed drastically compared to two months ago.
At that time, he was living in the underpass, he couldn't afford to raise Niuniu or pay the rent, and he often didn't even have 10 yuan in his pocket, and he didn't have any expectations for the future.
Now that he has opened up his career, he no longer needs to worry about money.
Even if there are still several life goals to be achieved, Luo Kai can still live a chic life, eat whatever he wants to take Niuniu, play whatever he wants, and buy whatever he wants.
This kind of freedom and freedom is vividly displayed in this song!
"Panic, hurry, why is life always like this?"
"Could it be that my ideal is to spend my life like this!"
"Not humble, not arrogant, not in a hurry, maybe life should be like this, can it be said that after the age of 60, I will look for the freedom I want!"
His ease and ease deeply infected everyone present.
The pace of life in the metropolis is too fast, and you work hard every day to make money, just like the little ants in the song, lost in the high-rise buildings, annihilating your ideals and suffocating your dreams!
Who doesn't want to live the life they want, who wants to pursue freedom when they're old, and how many want to live like they do now?
The crowded bar is like it's been enchanted.
No one was eating, drinking, laughing and chatting, and the attention of the customers was all focused on Luo Kai, and the waiters who shuttled between the aisles and the wine tables quietly retreated to the corner, for fear of affecting the guests.
Behind the bar, the bartender put down the shaker, wiped the clean wine glass in his hand, and his eyes were looking at the stage.
The drinkers sitting at the front of the bar all turned sideways and listened attentively.
Listen to Luo Kai's long and spontaneous song.
"Year after year, it's still that little savings, and I still can't afford a lot of things I like. Life is always troublesome, and I still haven't gotten used to it, and they all say that money is a bastard, but she looks so good!"
The faint humor made many people smile knowingly, with a little sourness and a little helplessness.
"I don't want to live like this, I don't want to live like this, I don't want to live like this..."
This sound is like a hammer knocking on their hearts, obviously there are too many things to say, but they can't say it!
"Actually, I often tell myself that people should learn to be content and happy, but everything passes with a smile..."
"What else does it mean?"
The final ending is relieved, but also self-deprecating, with regret and loss, as well as persistence in dreams!
Luo Kai is telling everyone that whether it is to live for a lover, or to live for a dream, or to live for life, no matter what the predicament is, as long as life continues, you must live hard!
As the last note dissipates into the air, the bar, which houses hundreds of people, falls silent, and people seem to be reminiscing, as if they can't bear to break the atmosphere created by the song.
There is an inexplicable emotion, which is silently diffused.
Until Luo Kai on the stage bowed down and said, "Thank you." ”
The applause, the warm and neat applause, broke out without warning but as a matter of course.
It's like a storm!
One person stood up, then the second, the third, ten, a hundred...
Everyone stood up and sent their most sincere greetings to Luo Kai!
Thank you to him for dedicating another wonderful song to everyone.
"Thank you, thank you!"
Luo Kai smiled again and thanked him, originally he was going to sing this song "Alive" at the Ping An Music Festival, and he had rehearsed with the Triumph Band many times for this, but he didn't expect to sing it here first.
But it doesn't matter, you can sing it if you want to, and it feels right.
After singing this song, he is also going to be gone.
I believe that there will not be many opportunities to return to this stage in the future.
"Sing it again!" "One more song!" "Encore!"
However, the bar guests who have become Luo Kai's fans, fans, and iron rice did not agree, and when they saw that Luo Kai wanted to leave, they shouted loudly and enthusiastically retained!
Luo Kai also scratched his head a little when he saw this situation, but when he saw Wu Hongming who was giving him a thumbs up upstairs, he suddenly had an idea.
"Thank you!"
Luo Kai said with a smile: "I'm glad that everyone can like this song, let me introduce you to a friend, let him sing a song for everyone, please..."
He raised his hand and made an inviting gesture to Wu Hongming: "Mr. Wu Hongming!"
Wu Hongming?
The patrons of the Blacktower Bar tonight were really pleasantly surprised, and they all looked in the direction of Luo Kai's finger.
"Wu Hongming!" "It's really him!" "Great!"
All kinds of applause, exclamations, and whistles rang out one after another, and everyone's attention was quickly diverted.
Wu Hongming, who was sitting on it at this moment, wanted to change the thumbs up to the middle finger.
He was a little pit by Luo Kai.
Of course, this was just an innocuous joke, and without much hesitation, Wu Hongming went downstairs to the stage amid cheers.
"I can sing it..."
He pretended to be dissatisfied and said to Luo Kai: "You have to give me accompaniment!"
It's called an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
Luo Kaihahaha: "No problem, don't blame me if I played the wrong note..."
Wu Hongming made a helpless expression.
It's an exaggerated kind.
He also has a sense of humor.
Laughter and applause spilled through the bar, bringing the atmosphere to a climax tonight.
Behind the bar, Sister Xia was so happy that she was about to faint.
Earn over!
