Chapter 798: Du Shasha's Concert (41)
Amazing Grace.
Originally written in 1779 by the English clergyman John Newton, the song "Amazing Grace" began as a traditional ballad, or black soul, that expresses religious devotion and contains a prosaic but profound story of atonement. The theme of the song is consistent with the biblical theme: repentance, thanksgiving, atonement, and regeneration. The lyrics are concise and full of godly and grateful confessions, and they are also a testimony to the life of John Newton, who was originally a black slave captain who did all kinds of evil, but later fell into Africa. Saved by God on a stormy sea, he decided to change his ways, dedicate his life to preaching the gospel of God, and become a 19th-century evangelist. Before he died, he wrote an epitaph for himself: "Reverend John Newton, once upon a time a sinful and unbelieving God, was a slave servant in Africa." But through the abundant mercy of the Lord Jesus Christ, they were preserved, reconciled to God, forgiven of sins, and assigned to evangelistic ministry. This hymn is a testimony of his salvation throughout his life. The song is filled with his remorse for his past slave trade and his gratitude to the God who has blessed him without caring about them.....
At the same time, "Amazing Grace" is one of the most famous gospel music on earth.
Gospel music is the history of black serfs in the United States, after embracing the Christian faith, often prayed in the fields in the hope of reducing the pain of labor. It soon evolved into an improvisational musical performance. After the abolition of slavery, blacks organized their own churches and adopted this form of music as a form of church activity. In the mid-20th century, Elvis Presley introduced gospel music into his own style, which was subsequently commercialized by Motor City Records.
This style emphasizes rhythmic instrumental accompaniment and improvisational singing. The singing style is characterized by the use of monosyllabic ornamentation (several notes are sung in one syllable) and the lyrics are shouted loudly. Drums and electric guitar accompaniment create exhilarating beats and prominent rhythms. In the twenties of the twentieth century, gospel music began to emerge as an independent genre of music. In composing, A. Dorsey fused early gospel music with the beats and rhythms of blues and jazz to form a complete system of modern gospel music.
Therefore, one of the most important characteristics of this kind of song is that it is closely related to religion, and at the same time, the singer has always been solemn and solemn when singing, and the scene is dignified and dignified, both the singer and the listener can feel a soul journey that transforms themselves in such a song! Its shock and comfort to the soul, as well as the notes that go straight to the heart, are not comparable to other music.
In particular, this "Amazing Grace", which began as a traditional ballad, or black spiritual song, expressed religious loyalty, contained a prosaic but profound story of atonement, and it became a repertoire that Christians must sing every time they pray for repentance, and then it became more and more popular, transcending religion, and becoming a popular song in the true sense of the word, becoming a classic song for people to pray for peace, a hymn to the people's spiritual world, and the theme of the song is in line with the main theme of the Bible: repentance, thanksgiving, atonement, Rebirth, now you can hear this holy, peaceful, solemn, beautiful song on any solemn occasion, in ceremonies, in many pop music records, at national ceremonies, and at the funeral of presidents.
Therefore, at this time, Chen Ying first sang in English and then sang in Chinese and Li Yiyi and the choir behind him, singing at the same time under the powerful aura of this music to the heart, as an Oriental on the scene, there are other Asian fans in China who are a little better, but for singers or fans in the Western world like Bill Hughes and Cady Aven, they can't hold it!
No matter where you are, as long as you are watching this concert, at this time, you are all holding your hands in front of your chest reverently, your face is full of tears, but you can't stop praying, looking at Chen Ying and the goddess band on the stage, your mouth keeps praying!
It's just that the content of the prayer is not even known to me, because at this moment, after people's eyes turned around on Chen Ying and the others, they still fell on one person at once!
Although this person is only a back figure on the stage at present, under the projection of the big spotlight on the stage, the image of this back figure is so tall at this moment! The wielding baton is so brilliant! People can't help but want to bow down and worship him, worship him as a king! Take him as a god!
"Truly, first the suffering, then the original sin, and now a song is successfully concluded, and the atonement is carried out..... From today onwards, this kid Li Youyang can be regarded as the pope or the seat of God in the true sense of the word! Although he did not establish this religion himself, there is no doubt that it already exists, and it is very likely that it will develop into the fourth largest religion in the world! But what should the name of this religion be?" Xiahou Changying muttered to himself again.
"But what's going to be the next song?"
What will be the next song?
The music started again, and the lead singer was replaced by Nie Yudan.
......
One I love, to she loves
My love, her love
Three she’s true to me
It's so true
All of my friends fell out ith me
All my friends are gone
Because I kept your company
Just because I've been with you all the time
But let them say hatever they ill
But let them say go
I love my love ith a free good ill
I love you with free and beautiful intentions
One I love, to she loves
My love, her love
And three she’s true to me
It's so true
They tell me he’s poor, they tell me he’s young
They told me about his poverty and youth
I tell them all to hold their tongue
And I told them to control their words
If they could part the sand from the sea
If only they could separate the sand and gravel from the sea
They never could part my love from me
Then they will be able to tear my love for you out of my body
One I love, to she loves
My love, her love
Three she’s true to me
It's so true
hen I’m aake, I find no rest
When I woke up, I found that I hadn't rested at all
Until his head lies on my breast
Until his head lay on my chest
hen I’m asleep I’m dreaming of
When I fell asleep, in my dreams
My on, my dear, my one true love
My, my dear, my only true love
One I love, to she loves
My love, her love
Three she’s true to me
It's so true
hen the fire to ice ill run
When the ice and snow meet the flames and melt
And hen the tide no longer turns
When the sea is not in vastness
And hen the rocks melt ith the sun
When the dissolved stone is melted by the sun
My love for you ill have just begun
My love for you has only just begun
One I love, to she loves
My love, her love
Three she’s true to me
It's so true
One I love, to she loves
My love, her love
And three she’s true to me
It's so true

There are not many people who know this song in the earth, but it is really a super-god-level work of art!
That's right, it's a piece of music that can be called a work of art!
This song "One I Love" is an excerpt from the album of the same name released by Irish female singer Meav on February 8, 2000.
Meav's voice can be called pure and clear, especially in the treble, which is transparent and beautiful, making people sound absolutely uncomfortable. And in this cappella song "One I Love", Meav brings out her pure and beautiful voice like an Irish angel to the fullest.
