Chapter 151: I'm Just a Weirdo
Although every woman present is beautiful, this is not necessarily related to singing together, and it seems that singing with anyone is more or less awkward, so I can sing alone.
So I said to Yan Yan, who was the host: "You know that I'm used to being a lonely person, so I'll sing solo." ”
Yan Yan joked and said, "Are you afraid that others will steal your limelight?" ”
I smiled, and then Zhengse said to her: "This song is suitable for solo singing, I like it very much, give me a chance to show Xiàn, is it okay?" ”
Yan Yan finally didn't force it anymore, and the few women present also expressed that they were very calm, and they didn't have too much interest in the so-called chorus table, which is also very understandable, after all, I don't have Robben's musical talent, nor do I have the shiny halo shrouded in Weiran, so this solo choice, how wise it seems at the moment, although it is a little lonely, but it is nothing, and I am not rare to cooperate with some of them.
I came to the center of the small stage and summoned Robben, because the song I wanted to sing, the drum beat was very dense, and he was the strongest at the scene, and the heavy bass also ran through the whole song, so the bass part was performed by CC, but the piano sound at the end of the song was missing the player, because Xiao Wu and the members of the band sent the music equipment and went to the bar to catch up.
I said to the crowd, "I'm going to sing a Radiohead "creep" at the end, and there's a little piano at the end, who can do that?" ”
Wei Ran answered and said, "This song is not bad, I'll do the piano part." ”
I have no opinion at all about Wei Ran's self-recommendation, although I am too happy with him, but music should be barrier-free, and it is a blasphemy to bring personal feelings to music.
I was just about to nod my head to invite Wei Ran, but I didn't want Mi Cai to suddenly say to him, "Abner, give me this opportunity, is it okay?" I also loved the song and always wanted to have the opportunity to perform it live. ”
Wei Ran seemed to be obedient to Mi Cai, and when he gave up the opportunity to participate, Mi Cai sat down facing the piano in front of everyone's attention.
CC, Robben, and Mi Cai, after each signaling to me that they were ready, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, hoping that this song could be perfectly interpreted, and I was also confident, because I had worked with Robben and CC countless times, and the piano part that Mi Cai was responsible for was only a short paragraph, so there should be no problem.
I opened my eyes and nodded to the trio, Robben took the lead in beating the drum kit, CC and I played guitar and bass, respectively, and the heavy metal music suddenly filled the scene.
I didn't imitate Radiohead's singing style in this song, sometimes singing high-pitched, sometimes low, and the rhythm was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, but fortunately, CC and Robben were both live masters, although they had not rehearsed beforehand, but they still perfectly fit my singing rhythm.
"But I'macreep, I'maweirdo (but I'm just a coward, just a weirdo)" was sung as my guitar started to roar, Robben gave a denser, heavier drum beat, and CC's plectrum-bearing fingers began to tug at the bass's thick strings and make a heavy electric sound.
In the tearing sound, I judged myself, because I was the coward in the lyrics, the weirdo, the coward who gave up breaking free from the shackles of reality, and was so strange that he was disgusted.
"Iwannahavecontrol (I just want a master) Iwantaperfectbody (I want to have a perfect body) Iwantaperfectsoul (I want to have a perfect soul) Iwantyoutonotice (I want you to notice me) whenI'mnotaround (even if I'm not with you) ......"
As I got to this point, my voice plummeted, softly but low, full of begging......
Oh, yes! I've had enough of my current life, I want a perfect soul, I want a perfect body, I want that crystal clear city, and I want ...... The woman with long hair hanging down her shoulders, even if she just looked back at me, she was satisfied! But
"She'srunningoutagain" she'srunningout(running) sheruns, runs, runs, runs, runs, runs......"
The whole song was pushed to a climax with the heaviest drums, and in the roar, I seemed to fall into the picture of this song, and when I saw her running away from me, I desperately pursued her, asking her what she wanted, but she was so damn special, and threw me farther and farther away in silence......
Finally, Mi Cai began to press the keyboard of the electric piano, and the rapid piano sound suddenly sounded, but it became more and more soothing, and finally ended...... Gradually return to peace!
I closed my eyes, my fingers still pulling on the guitar strings, I haven't been so turbulent in a long time when singing, I need to calm down, I don't need to reminisce, because this song has been perfectly interpreted!
There was no applause, and a lot of people looked at me as if they were nervous, and I knew that the tearing and weirdness of my singing scared them, and they couldn't understand the way it was performed.
Yes, I'm a weirdo, so I love this kind of grease rock, and after a difficult walk through those gray years, I don't want people to understand me.
Robben and CC gave me a thumbs up at the same time for my reinterpretation of the song, but Mi Cai bowed her head and fell silent, and then I was coaxed off the stage by the crowd of onlookers.
I gave the stage to CC again and squeezed through the crowd, intending to go out and breathe the night air and smoke another cigarette.
In the crowd, a man patted me on the shoulder and said to me with a kind smile: "This creep of yours is the best version I have ever heard, you sang the soul of this song, great!" ”
I smiled back at him, and my heart was a little lighter, even if the whole world thought I was dirty, there was still a handful of people who could find that shining place, so I never wanted to live for this world, but the handful of people who understood me.
……
Walking out of the mall, Jumei's giant neon sign still glows brightly, and the air smells damp, as if a light rain has just fallen.
I lit a cigarette for myself in the cold wind, enjoying the tranquility of being alone, but not for long, and after smoking this cigarette I should go back to the event, and then finish this impromptu little concert, and then I will invite everyone to dinner.
I don't know when Mi Cai quietly stood by my side, she said to me: "You are really a weirdo, obviously it was a concert organized by you, but I left several times halfway!" ”
"You're not coming out now!"
"It's boring to stay in the mall for a long time, maybe someone else will come out later!"
I suddenly became interested and said to her, "Then let's make a bet on who will come out next." ”
"Bet on what?"
"Just uphold the principle of small gambling pleasure, you can bet on anything!"
Mi Cai thought for a moment and said, "Uh...... Okay, if I'm right, you're going to go back and sing a normal, sunny song, okay? ”
"Are you denying the song I just played?"
Mi Cai shook his head and said, "I didn't deny it, you sang very well...... However, I don't want you to live like in the song, and I'm sad to be immersed in your song just now......"
I was silent for a moment and said to her, "Okay, I'll go back and sing a normal song if I lose, but what if you lose?" ”
"I'm in for dinner tonight, and I'm going to invite you all to dinner."
I calculated in my heart, this is a business that is sure to make money without losing money, if I lose just singing a normal song, if I win, it will save a meal, no matter what, I will have to pay thousands, so I hurriedly agreed.
So we each said the names of three people, Mi Cai said: CC, Le Yao and Jian Wei, I guess is: Fang Yuan, Robben and Wei Ran. As for Yan Yan, she wants to act as the host to control the scene, and she will definitely not leave the venue temporarily.
I feel like I'm in a position to win, because I have Wei Ran on my list, and if he doesn't see Mi Cai, he will definitely come out and look for it.
I lit another cigarette, and couldn't help but admire my own insight, and then complacently turned around and looked at the exit with Mi Cai, waiting for the answer to be revealed-
