Chapter 242: Strong Repercussions

Matthew? Mr. Burden, a 35-year-old white taxi driver who has been driving in New York for eight years, loves the city, even though he gets up every day to scold the city and the Transit Bureau.

"Feel God, I live in New York and nowhere else." That's what he always said to his friends.

Two months ago, when the disaster struck, he happened to send a guest to Brooklyn, and after hearing the news from the car radio, he immediately drove to the rescue operation, and fell behind the police, which did not help, but he still helped to get several minor injuries to the hospital.

When he watched the burning World Trade Tower fall down several streets, something seemed to collapse in his heart, this city that has not had any disasters for more than a hundred years, could be attacked like this, it was really terrible, how could God let this happen?!

For weeks, he was in a trance, depressed and at a loss. Although Matthew managed to pull himself together with the help of his friends, he couldn't go back to his old days, and although he returned to work, not only did he lose his smile, but he often quarreled with passengers.

"Don't tell me everything is going to be haode, you guys know what! You've only been watching on TV from start to finish, and it's always us New Yorkers who are facing this catastrophe head-on! Matthew exclaimed a little irritably.

"Hey man, I just wanted to comfort you!" The passengers were also very dissatisfied, if it weren't for his good temper, I'm afraid he would have been full of old fists.

Rao is so, in this taxi parked on the side of the street, the atmosphere still seems tense.

Then, the car radio that had been on came out: "Hey, listeners who are still in front of the radio, I'm your old buddy Parker?" Wes, it's time for our song of the day again. Today I'm going to recommend you a special song, maybe you've heard too many songs in the last few weeks to pray for America and New York, but this one is very different. I don't want to go into detail about the song and the singer, even though it's a very surprising singer and I think it's better to use music to illustrate it. ”

Next, a melodious melody came out of the radio, light and ethereal, as if there was a kind of liliang that could calm people down, so that the two people in the taxi turned their heads.

"WhenIamdownand,ohmysoul,soweary......" A rich male voice sang, and it seemed so light, and the feeling of lifting weights made people's eyes light up.

Coupled with the melody that fits perfectly with the prelude, the loss and hesitation presented by the lyrics immediately resonate with the listener, and let the feeling spread, making people want to continue listening. Then, when the climax of the chorus came, the emotions that had been accumulated were suddenly fully vented.

“Youraisemeup,soIcanstandonmountains!” With this lyric, the listener seems to be lifted to a height and then falls, and the creepy feeling is extremely comforting.

“Youraisemeup,towalkonstormyseas!” And the rich male voice is also like a thick cushion, catching them steadily and then sending them up, like riding a roller coaster, up and down from time to time, and like walking through the stormy waves, accompanied by melodious Scottish bagpipes, people have an urge to cry.

“AndIamstrong,whenIamonyourshoulders; YouraisemeuptomorethanIcanbe; YouraisemeuptomorethanIcanbe......" accompanied by a rich and atmospheric voice, the four-minute song came to an end, but the melodious and calming melody seemed to remain in the air.

After a while, Matthew sighed in the car, and then wiped his eyes, although there were no tears, there was still a wet feeling.

"Sorry man, I just...... I'm just ......," he said to his passengers in a somewhat choked tone.

"I understand, I understand, I should also be responsible for my actions, I should consider your feelings, that executioner must pay for it." The passenger also sighed.

Then the two hugged gently, and the tense atmosphere before was swept away after the song was broadcast on the radio.

SCENES LIKE THIS WERE PLAYED OUT ACROSS THE UNITED STATES FOR TWO DAYS AS THE SONG CALLED "YOURAISEMEUP" WAS BROADCAST ON THE RADIO.

Susie is a housewife living in New Jersey who lost her husband on Flight 93, and her life has been clouded ever since, and she can't get rid of it, and she can't take care of her two children. Even though her sister warned her that she might be in danger of being stripped of custody if she continued like this, she knew she had to pull herself together, but she couldn't, and her heart felt like something was blocked, leaving her at a loss.

Until one day, the two well-behaved children deliberately turned on the radio, wanting to play some music to make their mother happy, when this song sounded, Susie's heart was suddenly opened a gap, all kinds of pain before swarmed out, lost feelings rolled down, immediately hugged the child and cried.

Alex is a young street performer, he performed near Wall Street on the day of the disaster, and the horrific shock of seeing the plane crash into the Petronas Twin Towers has always haunted him, so even after two months, he still goes to Times Square every day, like many people who can't forget, find a corner to light a candle to mourn. Then, on this day, after the routine of lighting candles, he also held his guitar and sang a song that he had just learned from the radio.

When he heard it for the first time, he was hit like an electric shock, and the churning feeling seemed to show all the things he wanted to say in the past few months but didn't know how to say it, and the spirit of Xiangshang swept away the haze in his heart, so he tried his best to listen and learn, and Zuihou sang in public at this time. Although there was still something missing, and some words were missing, the deep devotion still brought many applause from those who stopped to listen, and many pulled him to ask for the name of the song.

Elena is a white-collar worker living in Boston, and her best friend was on the hijacked plane from Boston to San Francisco on 911. Although she finally came out of the shadow of losing her friends, she never knew how to remember her, they were the most haode friends, and when her life was the most difficult, it was the other party who pulled her and encouraged her to persevere.

When Elena heard this song, the feelings that had already been cathartic were rolled up again, and she couldn't help but want to scream out loud. So, at the public rally to commemorate the victims in the municipal square that night, he used his identity as one of the initiators to connect the radio with a loudspeaker, and then called the radio to order the song, and when the beautiful melody sounded, thousands of listeners in the audience were moved.

A beautiful song swept the whole of North America, and everyone - including the radio, music critics and producers - did not expect, and the singer's identity was shattered glasses.

"Music that sounds like a hymn is both peaceful and uplifting, just right to soothe the pain in people's hearts." That's what Rolling Stone magazine says.

"Billboard" also praised: "The melody and lyrics are perfectly combined, this is a perfect work, and this is the most haode comfort for us at this time." ”

"YOURAISEMEUP", which is so sought after, has reached the point of being well-known in just a few days, and it is not surprising that it has reached the top of the "Billboard" list, stepping on all the big names. Jackson's "WhatMoreCanIGive" is released now, and I'm afraid it won't necessarily be able to snipe the other side's momentum.

Interestingly, neither "Rolling Stone" nor "Billboard" mentioned the name of the singer who sang this song, as for the reason...... Just look no further than the New York Post.

"THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT YOURAISEMEUP IS A BEAUTIFUL SONG THAT WARMS EVERYONE'S HEART AND INSPIRES PEOPLE, BUT NO ONE WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT AFTER MAKING A SMALL-BUDGET HIGH-GROSSING MOVIE, SEAN? Don began to get involved in the music industry and produced a perfect song, and he seemed to be drifting away from the acting industry. It's okay to put your talents to good use, that's what you should do, right? Here's part of the New York Post's coverage of the song.

first affirmed the shock and impact of "YOURAISEMEUP", and then changed the conversation, and began to sneer at Sean covertly, saying that he was not doing his job, saying that he had thrown his career as an actor aside to do something else, and implied that he was not suitable for being an actor at all. I really don't know where Sean offended them, but as long as there is a topic, they will make a big article.

"Honestly, you shouldn't have robbed the New York Post editor or even the editor-in-chief of the woman, right?" While Sean was looking at the New York Post depressedly, Frederick asked so jokingly.

"Do I look like that kind of person?" Sean then asked rhetorically.

"Well, you're not." The agent Haha smiled and didn't bother with him, "Okay, be happy, man, your single is a big hit." ”

"I know, but ...... Why are you so happy? Sean rolled his eyes, "AREN'T YOU WORRIED ABOUT ME SHIFTING MY FOCUS TO MUSIC BECAUSE YOURAISEMEUP WAS SO POPULAR?" ”

"I might have to worry if I moved on to other things, but music is absolutely impossible," Frederick said with a smug expression of "I know it", "not every time you come across a song that fits the occasion - to be honest, you're in luck with any melody that fits the social context." ”

"Hmm...... My luck is that good. Sean shrugged.

Well, he admits that when he asked to write the lyrics from the perspective of "Youraisemeup", there was actually a little bit of familiarity in his heart, perhaps...... Have a similar song in a past life?
