Chapter 55: You Are My Eyes
Seeing Yuan Zelang's behavior, everyone may guess a small story in his previous life, which is like this: on the side of the bustling Paris street, there is an old man in ragged clothes, gray hair, and blindness. Instead of reaching out to beg for passers-by, as other beggars do, he stood a wooden sign beside him that read: "I can't see anything!" ”
There were many pedestrians passing by on the street, those gorgeously dressed gentlemen and noblewomen, those beautifully dressed young men and girls, who were indifferent when they saw the words on the wooden signs, and some of them smiled faintly and walked away.
At noon that day, the famous French poet Jean Pierchaux also passed by. He looked at the words on the wooden sign and asked the blind man, "Old man, did anyone give you money this morning?" ”
"Alas!" The blind old man replied, "I, I have not gained anything." ”
Jean Petherle took up his pen and quietly added in front of the line: "Spring has come, but I see nothing!" After a few words, he left in a hurry.
As Jean Peterhole's footsteps faded away, the old man was amazed to hear the barely interrupted sound of coins or bills falling into the metal bowl he was begging.
Yes, spring is beautiful, the blue sky and white clouds, the green trees and red flowers, are all intoxicating. But the beauty of this beautiful day is only pitch black for a blind man. This is extremely sad again! When people think of this blind old man, who has never even seen a thousand purple and red springs in his life, how can they not feel sympathy for him? Therefore, even in the hard heart, it will soften and give him some help.
Yuan Zelang also thought of this story, but would he do it?
The answer is – no.
Yuan Zelang thought that since his current identity is a singer, then he has to use his singing voice to help this person in need.
In the past, he simply wanted to be popular and wanted to complete the dream that he couldn't complete in his previous life, but after hearing Bu Qianqian's words just now, he suddenly had a new understanding: he felt that the real meaning of a singer and a musician is not to be so popular and how much money you can make, but whether you can let your music affect more people after you become popular.
Let people who are afraid of the dark be able to face the darkness bravely after listening to your music; Let people who are autistic and reluctant to communicate with others be able to take the first step with others bravely after hearing your music; So that those who have experienced failure can get back up and continue to struggle.
He feels that only in this way can music truly live and live forever, and such an artist is a real artist.
So, he decided to try his music to help someone in need today.
Actually, Yuan Zelang didn't intend to do this at first, but just now, just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard a soft guitar sound coming from the old man's defense line.
When Yuan Zelang looked in the direction where the voice came from, he found that it was a wandering singer, not very old, about 20 years old, with a flat head.
He was standing not far from the beggar, and in front of him was an upside-down gentleman's hat with a few small bills, and his eyes were sly looking at the old man's broken bowl.
"What's wrong?" Bu Qianqian came back to her senses and asked intentionally suspiciously.
"It's okay, wait for me." Yuan Zelang patted Bu Qianqian's shoulder and said.
"Good!" Although Bu Qianqian was puzzled, she still nodded obediently.
Yuan Zelang came to the wandering singer, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Hey, buddy, can you borrow the guitar?" ”
The wandering singer, who was thinking about how to get the three hundred yuan in the old man's bowl, was startled by Yuan Zelang's voice.
When he opened his eyes, he wanted to curse, but when he looked at Yuan Zelang's eyes, he was silent.
He could perceive that Yuan Zelang seemed to see through his thoughts.
"What for?" He asked.
"Can I borrow a guitar?" Yuan Zelang spoke again.
"Oh, it's fine." When the young man heard this, he took off the guitar on his back with some weakness and handed it to Yuan Zelang.
"Thank you." Yuan Zelang said to the young man with a smile.
"No, it's okay." The young man spoke unnaturally.
After taking the guitar, Yuan Zelang tried the strings slightly, and the sound was okay, and it could be seen that this young man had good maintenance of this guitar.
At this time, Bu Qianqian was standing less than five meters away from Yuan Zelang, and when she saw Yuan Zelang's posture, she also guessed what Yuan Zelang wanted to do, so she stood quietly and looked at Yuan Zelang.
Yuan Zelang came to the old man's side with the guitar in his arms, coughed lightly, and tried to attract the people around him.
Maybe it was because of the previous "stupid behavior", the people around saw that the young man was donating money and holding a guitar to sing, and they were really attracted to it.
"This guy, is this going to sing to help raise money for this filthy thing?"
"I guess so, this person is so stupid that he would believe that there are really beggars in need of help in this world."
"Alas, it's still too young!"
The people around saw Yuan Zelang's behavior and talked about it.
Yuan Zelang didn't care, just when everyone was talking, his fingers moved, and a soft guitar sound came.
The sound seemed to have magical power, making the noise around it gradually become quiet.
Accompanied by gentle guitar chords, Yuan Zelang opened his mouth and sang:
If only I could see it
You can easily tell the difference between day and night
will be able to accurately hold your hand in the crowd
If only I could see it
I can drive you around
I can surprise you with a hug from behind
If only I could see it
Life may be completely different
Maybe I want what I like, I love
It's all different
……
I believe that many people listened to Lin Youjia's version of this song for the first time, but in fact, the original composition and original song of this song is Xiao Huangqi, a blind singer.
This song was composed and lyrics by Xiao Huangqi, arranged by Chen Feiwu, and included in Xiao Huangqi's album of the same name "You Are My Eyes" released in December 2002.
Xiao Huangqi, who was born blind due to congenital cataracts, became amblyopia after eye surgery at the age of 4. At the age of 15, he lost his sight again many years later, but he remained optimistic and loved music and creation.
Xiao Huangqi said that the role that anyone plays in his life is to help him see the most beautiful world, because of the encouragement and warmth given by everyone, so he created this song.
"You Are My Eyes" is a lyrical song that describes Xiao Huangqi's mood story along the way in his "white world". It is precisely because Xiao Huangqi cannot see and cannot be as vast as the world that a discerning person is exposed to, so he can be creative with his imagination. Therefore, his songs are an inner world that can be heard, touched, and smelled, simple and direct.
In her previous life, when Meimei heard "You are my eyes, take me through the changes of the four seasons, and take me through the crowded crowd", Xiao Huangqi's loud and affectionate singing voice exuded self-improvement and nostalgia for the colorful world, which moved Yuan Zelang.
Yuan Zelang believes that this situation and this scene, coupled with this song, will definitely make the people around them feel emotional, so that they can help the poor old man in front of them.
