Chapter 163: Pursuing Unattainable Dreams (Part 1)
The applause was thunderous and lasted for a long time.
The lights on the stage were bright, Zhang Fei, Li Bi and others put down their musical instruments one after another, came to the edge of the stage, stood with Lin Xuan, and bowed slightly to the audience.
"Lin Xuan!Lin Xuan!"
"White Night! White Night!"
Whistles and screams mingled, and the audience shouted excitedly, and the sound almost toppled the roof of the shed.
On the barrage, sentences such as "White Night Band and "Lin Xuan" swept densely across the screen, and netizens used very simple words to express their excitement.
Looking at the cheering crowd on the field, Zhang Fei, Li Bi and the others glanced at each other, and there was pride in their eyes.
As a member of the White Night Band, they were very proud to sing this song on the field with Lin Xuan.
To be able to perform such a shocking and humanistic excellent music work is the dream of any musician.
Lin Xuan stretched out his hand and pressed down, and said with a smile: "Thank you, it's okay." ”
The audience was very enthusiastic, and the applause lasted for another ten seconds before it slowly fell.
People sat down.
"Thank you to the White Nights Band for bringing you a shocking performance. ”
Wu Weixin began to control the stage, his eyes fell on Lin Xuan, and said with a smile:
"Lin Xuan, your song is preceded by a poem soundtrack, followed by a song, and it is an English song, how did you come up with the idea of fusing a Chinese poem with an English song?"
Lin Xuan smiled slightly and said:
"This kind of performance is actually not new, there are too many precedents, I won't say more.
When I saw the picture of a young Syrian boy, I decided to write a song in the international language because it was happening internationally. ”
"Then why did you add Chinese poetry again?"
Lin Xuan chuckled lightly and said:
"As a Chinese, I naturally want to use my native language to express my views on things and express my indictment of a violent world. So, after thinking about it for a while, I wrote a modern poem with the same theme. ”
Hearing this, Wu Weixin couldn't help but interrupt Lin Xuan, with a look of amazement on his face, and interjected:
"When I was young, I read poetry for the whole people, and it was an era of poetry, and the things that people liked when they were young would become a mark in his life and affect his aesthetics for the rest of his life.
I just listened to your poem, which brought me a strong shock, the choice of the theme of the poem, the use of imagery, and the strange associations, which made the poem very tense, which was really amazing.
In my personal opinion, this poem is definitely a classic, and it is not weaker than those famous poems!"
"Thank you, Mr. Wu has won the award. Lin Xuan was modest.
Wu Weixin said: "I'm just telling the truth, okay, you continue to tell us about your creation, I believe everyone is very interested in your poem and English song." ”
Lin Xuan nodded and continued:
"The title of my poem is 'Answer', and I am asking for an answer to this violent world, and at the same time asking myself, asking myself the answer in my heart.
The mood of the poem progresses from scrutiny, doubt, denial, and challenge, and finally to hope for the future.
The last line of the poem, "That is the hieroglyphs of five thousand years, that is the eye of the people of the future", the eyes of the people of the future, express hope for the future, and the children are the future of the world, and the future belongs to them. ”
Lin Xuan sighed softly, a trace of heartache welled up in his eyes, and said:
"The heart-wrenching photo that swept the world this time, the protagonist is an innocent and innocent three-year-old child, I want to ask what is wrong with the world instead of him?
Why can violence never stop?
Why do innocent people always die?
The Ice Age has passed, why is there still ice everywhere?
The Cape of Good Hope has been discovered, so why are thousands of sails competing in the Dead Sea?"
But can we find the answer? Our world is always full of contradictions and greed, can this kind of thing be solved?"
Lin Xuan smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know, what the future holds, everything is difficult to talk about, maybe it will be solved, maybe it will never be solved."
But I know that our world shouldn't be bad all the time, and we all hope that she will become gentle and beautiful, and that she will yearn for beauty when she understands the fierceness of the world.
So, I put myself in the shoes of that child, saw the world from a child's point of view, used my imagination, and wrote this English song "Imagine", imagining a utopian world without war and hunger. ”
The audience burst into warm applause.
After listening to Lin Xuan's words, people were moved by the humanistic care revealed between the lines of his words, and moved by his feelings.
Wu Weixin also applauded warmly, nodded and said:
"Well, I can see that there is an emotional connection between your poems and songs. At the end of the poem is a hope for the future, and the song begins with a fantasy of a better world in the future.
I listened to "Imagine" just now, and I was still a little confused, the lyrics are full of beautiful imagination, but they are a bit unrealistic, not quite like the ideas of adults, if you are from a child's point of view, then you can understand. ”
Lin Xuan was silent for a moment and said:
"The reason why that photo is widely circulated and worrying is that it is a little boy who is only three years old, and such a delicate life has endured suffering that he should not have endured.
Children are like the embodiment of beautiful things, and when people think of children, they immediately think of many beautiful words.
A child's innocent fantasy is the most moving, and although such dreams may seem like a castle in the air and cannot stand up to scrutiny, they are very important.
When I sang "Glory Days" before, I said that we may never achieve equality in the true sense, but because of this, equality is worth people's eternal pursuit.
The same is true of the ideal world depicted in the lyrics of Imagine. ”
Lin Xuan's eyes seemed to have something shiny flickering.
He liked the poem by North Island and the song by John Lennon very much, and was deeply moved by what it said when he first heard it.
The poems and songs were not created by him, but he had similar feelings, otherwise he would not have been moved, as soon as he saw the time on the Internet, he naturally remembered these two works, and his heart was deeply touched.
Lin Xuan said loudly:
"Unattainable dreams are meaningless in themselves, but pursuing unattainable dreams is meaningful. ”
The audience once again burst into warm applause.
Wu Weixin applauded earnestly and said:
"That's great. We live in a peaceful country, but the world is still full of violence and contradictions, and many terrorist attacks are carried out by ethnic groups and religions.
Your lyrics begin with a straightforward statement, "What would you be without religion and a country?" Maybe it's a fantasy, but based on a fantasy of a better world, it's very moving. ”
Lu Zijian tilted his head, gave a thumbs up, and said to Dong Jin beside him in an admiring tone: "This is a real artist." ”
Dong Jin nodded and sighed: "Lin Xuan is at such an age, but he has such a mind, which makes people have to be convinced. ”
Nan Xiang looked at Lin Xuan, who was talking eloquently, and also stretched out her hand to applaud, there was something bright and dazzling about Lin Xuan, which deeply infected her.
Netizens also commented.
"Lin Xuan is indeed different from other singers. ”
"In his works, you can always see a sense of responsibility and care that others don't have. ”
"Yes, there is no point in the unattainable dream itself, but it makes sense to pursue the unattainable dream. ”
