Chapter 41: The Moment of Transformation and the Sound of Silence
Ask for favorites and recommended tickets! It's so shameless!
After half a dreamlike performance, it was time for intermission. For almost an hour of performance, both the band and the audience need to let go and relax.
It also takes time for more than 10,000 people to go to the bathroom, and after solving the problem in the restroom in the lounge, Caesar came to the stage alone with a bottle of water as planned.
Stephen and the others were still worried about his body, but Caesar threw down the sentence "Children never know how to be tired" and prevaricated.
Because the stage lights were turned off during the break, only the soft light of the candles swayed on the stage, so Caesar went on stage and sat quietly in front of the piano without the audience noticing, and the staff was very cooperative to hit a ray of chasing light on Caesar's body.
As soon as the piano sounded, the audience realized that the prodigy, who kept surprising people, actually cushioned the Smith spacecraft during the break.
Caesar's left hand bass part has been beating the rhythm rapidly, and the melody part of his right hand plays a tune that feels familiar and fresh.
“told-you-once-about-your-friends-and-neighbors
they-were-always-seeking-but-they‘ll-never-find-it
that-it‘s-alright,yes-it‘s-alright……”
Caesar opened his mouth, and a portion of the audience could tell that it was a cover of "It's-Alright" by Black-Sebbath.
The reason why this song was very well-known in the previous life was not because of the original song, but because the lead singer of the Gun Flower Band, Ross, covered it many times at the concert site, and the director zhì This It's-Alright was quickly sought after by fans.
In fact, Caesar agrees that Ross's self-singing version is much better than the original Black Sabbath.
This song is an exhortation, telling people not to be too persistent, to let go of what should be done, there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome, and it will get better at a moment's notice.
The audience was in a little commotion, because the people in the bathroom faintly heard the sound of music and hurried back to their seats, and the audience who was in a hurry to go to the bathroom saw the Caesar mat, as if they were speeding up and going back quickly.
The speed of the flow of spectators was inevitably a bit of bumps and quarrels, but fortunately, the security personnel were very experienced and quickly maintained order and extinguished this "small flame" before the situation became serious.
After a piano song, Caesar quickly returned to his bar stool and picked up his beloved "Gibson acoustic guitar".
Stroking this more than 20,000 dollars of customized goods, Caesar couldn't help but feel emotional, this is a luxury that he never dared to think of in his previous life.
As a ** silk, there are more than 20,000 US dollars to repay the mortgage as soon as possible...... Buying a guitar? Wake up! Otherwise, if your daughter-in-law doesn't beat you to death, your parents will have to beat you to death.
It seems that he has left his relatives and friends behind to be reborn, but in fact, if there is no such thing as rebirth, he is actually dead, isn't it? At this moment, Caesar missed his relatives and friends in his past life immensely.
In the midst of his heart's heaval, Caesar pinched the pick and strummed the strings.
The clear and translucent sound of the piano, accompanied by Caesar's semi-childlike voice with its own electronic music effect, and a "wake-me-up-when-september-ends" song by the "green-day" band, like the half-grown children of the neighbor's family telling a youth story on a summer night with the evening breeze, tell a story.
This song was quite famous in the previous life, and the MV was also tear-jerking.
Caesar made a great change to the lyrics of the song, and changed the lyrics to "a young man who died in desperation reminiscences of his life, as well as thoughts and blessings for his loved ones." And he imagined that he was not dead, but only asleep, and asked someone to wake him up at the end of September. ”
Originally belonging to the title song of a popular punk band with the young voice of the lead singer, this song is already one of the classics of rock music, and now Caesar interprets the more bleak and melancholy lyrics with a younger voice, making the effect of this song much more than in the previous life.
Some of the younger and some particularly emotional people in the audience have begun to wipe away tears.
Spaceship Smith, who was moved by the music and appeared early, quietly took the stage, looking at the thin figure playing and singing in the candlelight, and couldn't help but admire in their hearts.
Joe Perry leaned into Stephen's ear and whispered, "This is a moment when a prodigy becomes a prince." ”
Stephen didn't speak, just nodded vigorously, and sighed in his heart that after his daughter handed over to this kid, no matter what the future holds, it will not be a mediocre life.
How can the girl next to the prince be mediocre?
Before the song ended, the fans in the audience gave a standing ovation, which Caesar himself and Stephen did not expect.
It wasn't until the applause faded that Stephen stood in the spotlight and grabbed the microphone.
"Before I came up, Joe told me that the song was the moment when Caesar was transformed from a prodigy to a prince, and I couldn't agree more. And what I didn't expect was that this little guy was also a prince with a melancholy temperament. ”
Stephen's words were similarly relayed and recognized by most fans. The more than 10,000 people in attendance, almost 100% of whom were die-hard Smith fans, didn't understand why the old metal and blues band wanted to work with Caesar.
After witnessing the metamorphosis of this "wake-me-up-when-september-ends", they have to admit that Caesar is no longer a prodigy when it comes to music. He has every strength to perform on the same stage with other top musicians without falling behind.
After the fans quieted down, Stephen walked to Caesar's side with his unique Mike, tied in a colorful silk scarf, and his bar stool in one hand.
"Let me also have a little bit of the royal breath of Prince Xinke, in case there are any special effects, maybe I can't say." Stephen's trick made the fans in the audience laugh again.
"Hey! Dude, don't get so close! I just quietly let out a fart. Caesar didn't care about the image of Stephen.
"What the hell! I also came here on purpose because I just released one! Stephen's reaction was super fast, and the two of them instantly detonated the laughter at the scene.
While the two living treasures were happily interacting with the fans, the rest of the band and crew hurriedly adjusted the instruments, and soon the classic unplugged chorus song "to-be-with-you" resounded through Madison Garden as the opening song of the second half.
From this song onwards, the atmosphere of the scene became more and more weird, and the fans were extremely quiet when the song was played, for fear of missing even a note or a word, and after the song was over, the fans would give super warm applause and cheers back to everyone on stage.
After the scheduled ending song "let-there-be-love", Stephen took the band and Caesar for a curtain call, and the fans rushed up to throw the entire band off the stage before the security personnel could react.
During the period, how much gas was stuck by female fans is not enough for outsiders, even Caesar, who is too old, was brutally murdered, let alone others.
In the end, in the eager call of the fans, Caesar and Stephen discussed, and finally returned to the concert to perform a "the-calling" of the "yes band" in the previous life with the invited symphony orchestra.
The style of the "yes band" is originally on the gorgeous side, with a strong symphonic style, and it is called a symphonic rock band.
This "the-calling" is a majestic, energetic and hopeful, gorgeous symphonic rock. The lyrics have the universal theme of world harmony and cultural integration.
The whole piece is very strict about the voice of the lead singer, which must be high-pitched and has a very strong special penetrating power, otherwise the singing part will be overwhelmed by the accompanying guitars, bass, drums and various instruments of the symphony orchestra in the background.
This is too pediatric for big-mouthed frontman Stephen Taylor, whose voice is characterized by an extremely high-pitched voice, and is extremely special and penetrating because of his own hoarse electronic sound.
In his previous life, Caesar couldn't help but sing along when he heard this "call", not only because the song was really good, but also for the phrase "i'll-be-calling-the-dragons-of-China!" see-the-dancers-of-the-nile。 ”
sang a lot, plus the original talent his voice was practiced, although he has not received systematic training, it is purely a wild road, but the wild road has no divine voice? Stephen Taylor's world-renowned blacksmith voice is sung by Junno Luzi.
Caesar in this life is assisted by the energy of the playbox, and the dolphin sound is as simple as breathing.
This plus one is not always equal to two, the highest part of the song sung by two people began to have a strange resonance, and after listening to it, the irrepressible excitement has begun to affect people's physiology. These tried-and-true heavy metal fans began to faint in large numbers because of the violent emotional ups and downs.
MTV's live broadcast signal faithfully recorded and disseminated the scene throughout North America, and in the years that followed, it was disseminated to the world in the form of videotapes, VCDs, DVDs, and online videos.
Since then, this "the-calling" has been called a swan song for the ages, and the chorus of the two has been called the strongest note in the world.
