359 Scarborough Market

The most famous attraction in Scarborough is the beach, although the temperature reached 36 degrees today, the sea breeze is quite cool, not hot.

Mingmei also specially brought swimsuits, and of course Yu Tongtong, two beauties, one big and one small, changed into swimsuits and played in the sea, which looked pleasing to the eye.

In the afternoon, the trio ascended to Scarborough Castle.

It is located on a lonely mountain jutting into the North Sea, and is sandwiched by two wide bays in the north and south.

Standing at the gate of the castle, Yu Dongqing has a yacht harbor lined with masts and an old city with scattered ancient buildings to the south, and a sandy beach with endless views in the north.

A coastal road winds like a ribbon into the northernmost cliff that is forever shrouded in mist. The locals are Whitby, the hometown of vampires,

After a long walk, I returned to the castle gate, and it was almost dusk, and I was shining a strange purple light at Scarborough.

Atmospheric and romantic.

On the lawn not far from the castle, there are already tourists sitting in twos and threes, as well as locals.

Some people are playing guitars, others are playing Irish bagpipes, crying and complaining.

Yu Dongqing listened carefully.

It was an English folk song that he had heard on this time and space.

Rich plum trees,

Blooming with spring,

Golden branches.

Grow like curls.

Weeping and complaining.

The singing was a girl with blond hair tied in a ponytail, holding a guitar and singing while playing, with a beautiful voice.

Seeing Yu Dongqing paying attention to the girl singing, Mingmei also looked carefully, and suddenly a smile appeared on her face, and she shouted: "Grace!" ”

The girl looked up at the sound and smiled as well.

"Bright! Coincidentally, I met you here, and my friend and I came here to play. ”

The two girls walked together.

"My brother-in-law and niece came from China for a tour, and I played with them." As he spoke, he beckoned to Yu Dongqing's father and daughter and motioned to come over.

Yu Dongqing had no choice but to walk over.

"This is my classmate, Grace."

"This is my brother-in-law Yu Dongqing, and my niece Yu Tongtong." Mingmei explained with a smile.

"Hello, Grace," Yu Dongqing greeted politely.

When the two girls met, they chatted, and Yu Dongqing was not easy to leave, so she stood on the side with her daughter.

After chatting for a while, Mingmei suddenly remembered something, turned her head to Yu Dongqing and said, "Brother-in-law, when you were at Scarborough Market Hal today, you said that you remembered a song, can you play it?"

"Your brother-in-law can sing? Isn't he a screenwriter? Grace asked, somewhat surprised.

Grace also knows that Mingmei has a very powerful brother-in-law who can write screenplays, and some time ago a micro-film won the Grand Prix at the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival in France.

Unexpectedly, Mingmei smiled: "My brother-in-law's identity is a musician and singer, and writing scripts is his side job." ”

Hearing Mingmei say this, Grace's companion sitting next to her was also surprised.

"Brother-in-law, show your hand." Mingmei said to Yu Dongqing in Chinese.

This one

There is no need to show off in front of bright classmates, but the song "Scarborough Market" is really appropriate now.

When he went out to travel and brought a guitar, Yu Dongqing felt a little itchy in his heart.

So he nodded.

Mingmei said a few more words to Grace, and the other party immediately handed the guitar on the ground to Yu Dongqing.

Yu Dongqing said thank you, took the guitar and played it twice.

The sound quality is not bad.

He sang slowly, and it turned out to be in English.

Are you going to Scarborough Fair

Are you on your way to Scarborough Market?

Parsley,sage,rosemary and thyme.

Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme

Remember me to one who lives there.

Say hello to one of the girls there on my behalf

She once was a true love of mine.

She used to be my love

"Scarborough Bazaar", the original classic English song of that time and space, was used as an interlude in the Oscar-winning film "The Graduate",

The melody is poignant and tactful.

Mingmei listens carefully, it's so good.

With an English flavor, including this lyrics.

My brother-in-law is best at a song in a city.

But Mingmei always feels like she is singing to Luo Yun?

Touching the scene, or is it?

Grace and his companions were stunned.

This is a typical English ballad.

How could it come from the mouth of a Chinese?

After Yu Dongqing finished singing, Grace looked excited: "I see that your lyrics have Scarborough Market, are they written for this beautiful town?" ”

Yu Dongqing nodded.

"Yes, it's called Scarborough Market, and it's for this town." Yu Dongqing said with a smile.

"That's so good, can you play it again?"

"Oh well"

Yu Dongqing also hopes that this popular classic ballad will be heard by more people.

So he sang it again:

Tell her to make me a cambric shirt

Tell her to make me a sackcloth garment

(On the side of a hill in the deep forest green.)

(Deep in the green forest, next to the hill)

Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme

Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme

After singing several times in a row, Grace begged Yu Dongqing to compose the lyrics and songs, and finally they left.

On the way back, Mingmei was also very happy.

"Brother-in-law, I'll go back to the tavern and help you register the copyright online, and then you can arrange and record the music when we go back to London tomorrow!"

"What's the urgency of recording? After returning home. ”

"No. Record now! I love it when you hear you sing this song! Mingmei said, and took Yu Dongqing's arm and coquettishly.

Yu Dongqing couldn't get rid of it if she wanted to, so she had to let her go.

After a day in Scarborough and the next morning, I was back to London by car, and I was going to Paris as planned, but I had to say that I was going to record the song.

This also involves arranging, and Ming Mei is very active in helping him download his familiar, FL studiao fruit arranging software, busy in the hotel in the morning, and then go to the local recording studio to record in the afternoon, until the evening a song is completely released.

When I heard it, it was much better than playing and singing on the grass last night.

"I'll upload it right away!"

Bright Shine uploads to Spotify, a mainstream European music platform.

"Okay, let's go to bed, we have to go tomorrow morning." Yu Dongqing urged, it's twelve o'clock in the evening.

Mingmei doesn't sleep, and her daughter doesn't sleep in the same room with her, and she looks like a night owl.

"Don't worry, you won't make a mistake." Mingmei said, but involuntarily yawned, stood up, and said a word before leaving.

"I hope this song will climb the new song chart tomorrow!"

Scold?

How can it be so fast?

Do you think this is domestic? As long as I post a new song, it will be on the list the next day?

Sure enough, the next morning, the first thing I did when I woke up quickly opened Spotify, and although the number of hits and downloads of "Scarborough Bazaar" increased a lot, it did not rush to the new song chart.

Bright was a little disappointed.

If the song written by my brother-in-law had been placed in China, it would have rushed to the new song long ago - no, the main list!

"Bright, Tongtong, get up and eat!" There was a knock on Yu Dongqing's door outside the door.

"Right now!"

Mingmei shouted and quickly woke up Yu Tongtong, who was still asleep.

As the saying goes, the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys.

How could a song written by my brother-in-law be buried?

Sure enough, it didn't take long for someone to notice the song.
