Chapter 436: Acceptance
David also brought a guitar today, and he was on stage just now, just playing this guitar and singing.
Seeing Ye Luo reaching out to him, he hesitated slightly, but still handed the guitar to Ye Luo.
Ye Luo took the guitar and started with a bit of weight, forty-one inches, which was a little bigger than the one at Ye Luo's house.
Ye Luo plucked the piano lightly, and then pressed the vibrating strings with his fingers to find the overtones of the guitar.
The so-called overtone is a unique way of playing string instruments.
The overtones on the Chinese guqin are known as "heavenly sounds", and the scattered sound and press sound symbolize heaven, earth, and people respectively.
The guitar is not so mysterious, and gently touches his fingers on the aliquots of the strings, so that not only all the strings vibrate, but also the equinoxes, and the tone of the fundamental pitch is the overtone.
To see whether a guitar is good or not, overtones are a very important criterion, but this standard is only known to connoisseurs, and ordinary enthusiasts cannot distinguish it.
After trying it, Ye Luo nodded and said with a slight smile: "Good piano." ”
"Of course it's a good piano." When David said this, his face was slightly sad, "My family business also includes a musical instrument business, and this piano is made by my father. ”
"Your Father......"
"I passed away last winter." David whispered.
"I'm sorry for your loss." Ye Luo said, of course, this sentence is more in line with the translation of Chinese habits, which is "festival mourning".
After speaking, Ye Luo stood up with the guitar.
At this time, the singer who was originally sitting next to David finished singing.
After this singer finishes singing, all the singers tonight will finish singing in one lap.
Before their second lap began, Ye Luo walked onto the stage. He said to Old John, "Can I sing a song?" ”
"Absolutely." Old John nodded, "Anyone is welcome to sing on stage, and if your singing skills meet my requirements, you can join the club." But I don't think you're interested in that. ”
"Huh. Thank you, John. Ye Luo smiled. Then sit down on a high chair on stage.
"What tune?" Old John asked, "I'll get someone to accompany you." ”
"No, new tune, I just came up with it." Ye Luo said, "This piece is enough for a guitar." ”
“ok。” Old John lowered his drumsticks.
"The first thing I want to say is that this song is not for you, David." Before playing the guitar, Ye Luo smiled at David in the audience. "Just for you to hear."
Because what Ye Luo is about to sing is a love song, he doesn't want David to have any misunderstanding, the sexual orientation of the United States is still quite unpredictable, and he must guard against it.
A bar like this one, this kind of close-quarters small stage, in the selection of songs. Naturally, you can't choose a big song. A guitar, plus this sound. can't hold up a big song, it has nothing to do with singing skills, it's just because the atmosphere is not up to this point.
This kind of stage should sing country folk songs, which are short and exquisite, delicate and nuanced. Sketch-style love songs.
What type of song to sing, Ye Luo has long known in his heart, but which one to use, in fact, he has not decided yet.
He looked up at the bar, and realized. The most eye-catching thing here is still Song Yan.
The woman sat on the edge of the bar, having changed to a glass of red wine, wearing a short red dress, long hair covering half of her face, overlapping legs, and sitting in an extremely elegant position, in the dim light, this beauty was elegant and mysterious.
When Ye Luo handed his gaze over, Song Yan raised her wine glass and smiled at Ye Luo.
The two looked at each other, Ye Luo was inspired, his fingers began to pluck on the strings, and after a short and beautiful guitar prelude, Ye Luo began to sing.
“Longerthantherevebeenfishesintheocean,
Older than fish were born in the ocean,
Higherthananybirdeverflew,
Soaring higher and wider than birds in the sky,
Longerthantherevebeenstarsupintheheavens,
Older than the stars of the sky,

I've always loved you dearly.

More real than any tree grows,

I've always loved you dearly.
……”
Song title: "Longer".
Ye Luo used this song to be inspired by Song Yan, but when he sang, he didn't dare to watch Song Yan sing, for fear that something would go wrong.
But even so, this song still made Song Yan's beautiful eyes shine and she was fascinated.
Song Yan sat quietly on the edge of the bar, took a shallow sip of red wine, and suppressed the throbbing in her heart.
Others don't have such scruples, the singers club is like this, if there is a good work, everyone will not hide it, and applause and cheers immediately rang out.
This song, in the English song library in Ye Luo's mind, is not a classic masterpiece, but the selection of songs is important for the occasion, and in this small bar, this song is more than enough to come out.
Sure enough, David was stunned, Ye Luo's song, not to mention the lyrics and songs, just his singing skills dumped him countless streets.
Seeing David's surprised expression, Ye Luo smiled slightly, then turned his head to Old John and said, "John, shall I sing another song?" ”
"Absolutely. Chinese friends, this song you just made is awesome. Old John had admiration on his face.
"The next song is still new, but I want to add some drums, okay?" Ye Luo asked.
"No problem." Old John nodded.
It is very difficult to add drums on the spot. If you let Li Mo, the drummer of the Sky Dome Band, come. This kid will definitely look foreign.
However, in the song club, some singers will also sing new songs written by themselves, although the level of the song is actually very average, but they can be rescued a lot by Old John's drumming on the spot.
After listening to it for two nights, Ye Luo knew about this big man. Thick and fine, is the master of the master.
Ye Luo quickly chose the second song, and the source of inspiration was naturally Song Yan sitting on the edge of the bar.
At this moment, Song Yan is no longer Song Yan for Ye Luo, but a strange beautiful woman, it is as if she is a white canvas, and Ye Luo can fill it with oil paint at will. It becomes a beautiful painting.
This state makes Ye Luo enjoy it very much.
Ye Luo glanced at Song Yan, smiled slightly, and then began to pluck the strings.
The prelude to the song just now, because Ye Luo suddenly came on stage, also caused some small discussions, and the audience was not so quiet.
But right now, a song comes down. When the leaf falls and the prelude is played again, the pins fall under the stage can be heard. It's quiet.
It's like a group of students who are eager to learn, listening to a master's lecture, raising their heads one by one, their eyes shining.
Only David, the expression on his face was still a little struggling, as if the two thoughts in his heart were clashing fiercely.
A qiē on his face. Ye Luo saw it in his eyes, and he was secretly amused in his heart.
I know a song can't handle you, but I have a song.
The guitar prelude of this song is a little livelier than the previous one, with the fingering of the strumming strings, and Ye Luo sang first:
“Mylifeisbrilliant。
My life is full of colours. ”
This is the beginning of the song. After a few beats, Old John's drum beat came as scheduled, and it hit Ye Luo's anticipation point.
"Beautiful!" Ye Luo secretly praised in his heart, this tacit understanding between masters made Ye Luo feel very cool.
Subsequently, Ye Luo began to sing officially.
“Mylifeisbrilliant。
My life is full of colours.
Myloveispure。
My love is so innocent.
Isawanangel。
for I have seen angels.
OfthatImsure。
I am convinced of this.
Shesmiledatmeonthesubway。
She smiled at me on the subway.
Shewaswithanotherman。
Although he was accompanied by another man.
ButIwontlosenosleeponthat,
But I'm not going to sleep for it,
’CauseIvegotaplan。
Because I'm mentally prepared.
Yourebeautiful。 Yourebeautiful。
You're so beautiful, you're so beautiful,
Yourebeautiful,itstrue。
You're so beautiful, it's true.
Isawyourfaceinacrowdedplace,
I have caught a glimpse of your face in a crowded place,
AndIdontknowwhattodo,
I was overwhelmed by this.
CauseIllneverbewithyou。
Because I will never be able to rely on you.
……”
Song title: "Youarebeautiful".
When singing this song, Ye Luo dared to hand his eyes to Song Yan.
Yes, Song Yan is so beautiful and so outstanding.
But Ye Luo knew that he was destined to be unable to rely on her in this life.
Ye Luo sang this song to Song Yan, because of the lighting, he couldn't see the expression on Song Yan's face clearly, but he saw that she changed the red wine in her hand to whiskey.
After the two songs were sung, the audience was almost crazy, but Ye Luo applauded Old John: "John, you are awesome." ”
"Chinese, you are better." Old John laughed, "I'm enjoying working with you, are you still here?" ”
"Hehe, it depends on what David says." Ye Luo set his eyes on David in the audience.
David's face was cloudy for a while, and then he seemed to have made some kind of determination, only to see him stand up and walk to the edge of the stage, in front of Ye Luo.
"Give me the piano, I'm going home." David said, "I have to go back and deal with something." ”
"I'll be waiting for you in the office tomorrow morning." Ye Luo took off the guitar on his body and smiled slightly. (To be continued......)
