Chapter 43 Streets(1/2)
The street performance did not end, and the passers-by did not leave. The songs they prepared were not just one or two songs. This street performance slowly developed into a small concert, and passers-by gradually turned into fans.
I will cheer for their wonderful performance and be immersed in the atmosphere of their performance.
However, no matter how long the concert is, there will be an end. The enthusiasm of the audience ignited Yin Daoxian and Li Suluo. They sang very happily today, but due to time issues, they did not prepare too many songs. Unlike Xu Lai, they
It takes some time to practice before the song can be put on stage (even though it is just a street performance, they think it better shows that performance is the basis of an artist).
The performance came to an end. Xu Lai, as a young boy who is loved by Big Brothers and Big Sisters, ended this memorable first street performance. He was going to perform a Korean song, which was also assigned to him by Yoon Do-hyun before.
Homework" - "Don't Worry".
Xu Lai sat next to Yin Daoxian, holding the guitar and playing softly. His intro did not include those roars, and his words were all ordinary.
Don't worry about anything
let's sing together
All your sad memories
Buried deep in your heart
Things of the past are in the past
Is that what you mean?
Sing to those who are leaving
I said I loved you and never regretted it
…
Although this song is in Korean, most of the audience at the scene heard it in confusion, but as the song gradually deepened, the emotions were expressed in Xu Lai's singing. Everyone listened carefully to Xu Lai's performance.
, and also felt his feelings deeply.
This song not only explains how he completed his homework, but in fact... it can also be regarded as sung to Lu Han.
Lu Han can't hear it now, but he will see it if it is broadcast. It is September 18th, and there are still three days before the concert. After today, Xu Lai will get on a plane to the mainland capital.
, heading to what may be Lu Han’s last concert in Tea Egg.
Lu Han said that he would be able to film the show with peace of mind, but how could he be able to film with peace of mind?
In fact, he had been scheduled not to attend this concert before. His main task now was to shoot "begin again", but this time, he felt that he had to go.
Therefore, Xu Lai discussed it carefully with the program team. Finally, with the help of Yin Daoxian and his group of big brothers and sisters, he got a three-day holiday from the program team, which meant that he had to go on the second day of the concert.
I rushed back just in time to catch the last day of the program crew's stay in Ireland.
Xu Lai was able to accept all the arrangements. This may be because the program team gave him convenience after seeing Xu Lai's "talent" (of course, a large part of it was to give Yin Doxian and the others face).
The performance was coming to an end. Xu Lai's "Don't Worry" ended with a long coda. The moment the music ended, he walked out of the artistic conception he had created, and then politely faced the audience.
Smiling and bowing to thank the audience for their praise and applause.
Then, Xu Lai, who could communicate fluently in English, began to negotiate with the surrounding audience under the instruction of Yoon Do-hyun.
"Thank you all for your support. Our performance today is about to end. In the next few days, we will conduct road shows in this city from time to time and at irregular locations. Everyone...see you again by chance."
Xu Lai smiled and said to the audience, but the audience did not buy it after hearing what Xu Lai said "the performance is over". Few people turned around and left, and most people were still surrounding them, seeming to be looking forward to them.
Next performance.
Then, after an "encore" from someone unknown, the "encore" sounds came one after another, gradually converging into a unified voice, applauding and calling to Chen Shiyuan and the others.
This was not the first time that Xu Lai was called "encore" and he hadn't finished singing his song. Seeing how enthusiastic the audience was, he didn't feel tired and wanted to respond to their enthusiasm. He smiled softly and turned his gaze
He turned to Yin Daoxian and Li Suluo and left the decision to them. After all, he was the youngest now.
"Alai, go ahead! If there is a song you want to perform...then sing it!" Yin Daoxian nodded towards Xu Lai.
"Brother Daoxian, I want to sing "galway girl"."
"I'll accompany you." Yin Daoxian suddenly became interested when he heard that Xu said he wanted to sing the new song he had just written. This was Xu Lai's first public performance of this new song, and he didn't know where the song was.
What kind of live effect will it have in Galway, where it is produced?
Xu Lai made an "ok" gesture towards Yin Daoxian, then turned to face the audience, and gently said into the microphone: "I will sing another song next. This song is a song I just wrote.
, this is the first time it has been performed in public.”
As soon as he finished saying that he was going to sing his new song, the audience started cheering. I don’t know if they were just cheering or excited because they were participating in the first performance of Xu Lai’s new song. Anyway, Xu Lai dared to sing in front of them.
Singing their new song in front of him, the audience already appreciated him very much.
"The inspiration for this song came from a couple I met in a bar two streets away a few days ago. An English man and a Galway girl were married. After going through a lot, they were finally getting married. This song
"Galway Girl" comes from their stories, best wishes to them."
"that's us! that's our love story!"
Surprisingly, the couple seemed to have arrived at the scene. When Xu Lai mentioned the source of inspiration for this song, someone in the audience exclaimed, as if they were too surprised and surprised that they did not expect them to be in the bar.
They told their story to the singer, and the singer actually wrote it into a song.
"Thank you for the drinks, this song is for you." Xu Lai waved and said hello to the couple who were shouting in the crowd. He was also very surprised and laughed out loud, and finally controlled it.
After showing his expression and emotions, he softly said this.
Then, Xu Lai put his hand on the other and began to pluck the strings.
she played the fiddle in an irish band
She plays fiddle in an Irish band
but she fell in love with an english man
But fell in love with a British man
kissed her on the neck and then i took her by the hand
I kissed her neck and held her hand
said, "baby, i just want to dance"
Tell her honey I want to dance
…
As soon as the prelude started playing, some people in the audience covered their mouths and exclaimed. This prelude sounded unusual. It was not the kind of ballad that they imagined to write a love story. The rhythm of this song sounded very cheerful.
The couple listened very carefully, and then they discovered that the details of the story they told Xu Lai appeared in the song.
i met her on grafton street right outside of the bar
I met her outside the pub on Grafton Street
she shared a cigarette with me while her brother played the guitar
She handed me a cigarette while her brother was playing the guitar
she asked me what does it mean, the gaelic ink on your arm?
She asked me "What does the Gaelic tattoo on your arm mean?"
said it was one of my friend's songs, do you want to drink on?
I replied it was a song by my friend do you want a drink
…
This is when they were telling Xu Lai the scene when they first met. Everyone was laughing at that time, but Xu Lai didn't expect that Xu Lai would record this detail.
The lyrics that followed seemed not to be what they told, but Xu Lai's speculation based on their stories.
she took jamie as a chaser, jack for the fun
She loves to drink Jameson, and sometimes some Jack's Tennessee whiskey
she got arthur on the table, with johnny riding as a shotgun
Put that arthur stout on the table, pair it with Johnny's whiskey like a shotgun
chatted some more, one more drink at the bar
We were chatting casually and drinking at the bar.
then put van on the jukebox, got up to dance, you know
Then I put on a Van Morrison song on the jukebox and started dancing.
…
Xu Lai sang higher and higher on the stage. Before singing this song, he also wanted to see the effect of the song and the audience's reaction. Xu Lai was overjoyed with everything.
This song was just a combination of guitar and keyboard, which was enough to amaze the audience. After listening to half of the song performed by Xu Lai, the people at the scene all agreed that this was an excellent song. Moreover,
It is also the story of a Galway girl and an English man, which is a big plus in the eyes of the Galway people who are considered to be family members.
At this moment, the brisk rhythm and Xu Lai's European and American singing made most of the audience fall into the rhythm. They gently swayed their bodies to the rhythm. Everyone seemed intoxicated and excited, but the couple
But he seemed a little calmer. The surprise was still written all over his face, but he didn't dance as he imagined. Instead, he seriously picked up the camera and videotaped Xu Lai. It seemed that he wanted to make Xu Lai's scene live forever.
Save it.
