Chapter 378: 378
Tears filled his eyes, but Liam didn't hide his embarrassment. He just let the tears fall. He never knew that music could have such energy, shock the heart, and sublime the soul.
The lead singer of the band in front of him seemed to have no strength at all, but his warm and mellow voice wrapped every lyric, letting the energy contained in the words slowly bloom in his pupils like fireworks, "Her Youth gradually fades away, but I remember you said, don't feel sorry for the past." Such poetic lyrics are like airplane clouds and transparent golden sunlight slowly gliding across the autumn sky, and suddenly a row of geese call "people" The zigzag flew over, making the clear blue sky ripple in circles, and the shock and emotion invaded in an instant.
Liam held his eyes tightly and looked at the lead singer of the band who was standing less than two steps away from his eyes through tears. Exclamation, but at this time, no one will keep their eyes on the appearance of the lead singer, because that moving voice locks all the attention of others to the singing.
The singing of the lead singer is like singing in the depths of the soul. Every lyric, every melody, every singing, is pulling his soul, making the collision of thoughts and emotions more intense each time, and finally he must vent, otherwise he will will explode completely. Either cry, scream, or cry, and before Liam himself can react, his soul has already made a choice.
"Don't be upset about the past, at least not today." Liam murmured this sentence involuntarily, savoring the deep meaning behind the lyrics, and the turbulence in his heart made him lose the ability to speak. But at this moment, the band's performance finally ended, and then Liam saw that the five members of the band raised their hands to applaud each other, and then all bowed to him in gratitude, the band members. They hugged and encouraged each other, with bright smiles on their faces, celebrating the successful end of the performance just now.
There was only one audience at the scene, but they were still so devoted and serious. The brilliance of the entire performance was not compromised. After the performance, they also sincerely thanked the audience and their teammates for their support. This kind of professionalism needs no words. , showed it between gestures.
In this scene, Liam suddenly remembered the lyrics just now, "Please don't waste your youth in rock bands, they will only make you sink." This is not a piece of advice, but a declaration: they have gone On this path, you will never look back. This resolute decision violently impacted Liam's thoughts.
"Hey guys, what's the name of your band?" was the only thing Liam could say.
It wasn't the lead singer who answered Liam, but the guitarist, who with a slight smile on his face said loudly, "Glory to death."
"Glory to death." Liam murmured the name in a low voice, recalling the song just now, recalling the performance of the band just now, recalling what he had just realized, Liam's pupils instantly burst into infinite light. . Either glory or death, this indomitable determination, the soul flowing in the blood of the band, shook Liam's heart in the simplest way.
It's just a name, but Liam can clearly describe the soul of this band. It is an emotion that makes tears roll in his eyes again. Only after listening to the band's singing attentively, can he realize that only mood.
Liam is only fourteen years old this year. He is in a rebellious adolescence. He longs for freedom, but he doesn't know what he wants. Know what the outside world looks like. But today, the band called Glory to Death has opened up a whole new world for him. Maybe, Liam still doesn't know what awaits him in this world, but he longs to be such a person : Running barefoot for your dreams.
"I haven't heard the name of your band." Liam tried to calm down his surging surging, but the excitement in his eyes still revealed his emotions. At this moment, Liam really fell in love with this band, even if It is not an exaggeration to say that it is worship.
"Yes, we have just been established not long ago." The lead singer said, with a warm smile on his face, making people always want to keep their eyes on the arc of the corner of the mouth.
"You...the audience just now wasn't that big...no, I mean, you're doing really well, but, why?" Liam was very curious about this, but he was worried that his words might inappropriately hurt the band , so the speech is very confusing.
Contrary to Liam's expectations, his question did not make the band angry, but made all the band members chuckle, and the bassist scratched his head embarrassedly, and then Liam heard The lead singer spoke up, "We still have you in the audience, don't we?"
People always like to discuss the power of words. Countless celebrities, great men, and poets have left countless famous quotes in the long history. People also like to use these warning quotes as the motto of their life, so that they can find the way forward in life. direction.
But Liam never knew - he filled too many gaps in his life for the past fourteen years, just a sentence "we still have you as an audience", and the weight of the words dropped like a thousand pounds, making Liam His heart began to tremble slightly. It turned out that the power of language can have such a heavy weight that the soul becomes clear.
Liam flipped out all the change in his pocket in a panic and put it in the guitar case in front of him, including the money his mother told him to buy flour, he also threw it all in, even so, he still felt that he could What he said was too embarrassing, and he looked at the band embarrassedly.
What came to him was the lead singer's bright smile and the excited expression of the bass player, who rushed directly in front of him, "Thank you, man, thank you for your encouragement to us, really! This is for us. Say, it's important!" The bassist jumped up like a child, then looked back excitedly at his teammates and said, "Our performance was confirmed, great! I knew I was the best! "
Liam watched the band celebrate happily, and his mood could not help clearing up. Liam was about to walk away, but he suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked, "Will you still be performing here tomorrow?" If possible, he would like to watch normal tomorrow. A performance, not just a song.
Liam saw the lead singer and the surrounding teammates discuss it, and finally the guitarist answered, "Yes, we will still be here!"
"Then I'll come again!" Liam stepped on a brisk pace, trotting all the way to the direction of the house. This is the first time he has felt emotions in fourteen years. The strong and surging emotions in his chest made him have to run to vent, but even so, when he ran home in one breath, he was still full of excitement.
"Liam! Where's the flour?" came the mother's voice from the kitchen.
Liam said excitedly, "I gave all my money to a street band." The mother's eyes widened and she blurted out "What?" But then she saw her son jumping all the way. He ran over and gave himself a big hug, "Mom, their performance is really amazing, God, for the first time I know the original band's performance is so... amazing! Even Michael Jackson is not so handsome. !" With that, Liam gave his mother a heavy kiss on the cheek and trotted back to the room.
The mother looked at her son, who was in a brighter mood than the sun, with a dull expression, but then she smiled helplessly. Since entering puberty, she hadn't seen her son so happy for a long, long time, let alone so close to herself. Perhaps, this is good news.
Liam returned to his room and lay on the bed, but he couldn't calm down. As a result, he jumped up after lying down for two seconds. He picked up the phone and called his friend Eli Casvey. . Casvi), "I'm telling you, Eli, I saw a street band on Bush Street today, and they played really well, and I was totally blown away standing there."
Listening to a lot of chatter from his friend, Eli seemed very calm, and he curled his lips, "What band came to perform in San Francisco? Why haven't I heard the news before."
"I said it's a new band, performing on the streets..." Liam was about to express his inner shock, but was interrupted again by Eli, "No famous band? This is Isn't it endless, and most of them have a little bit of strength, nothing to be surprised about." Obviously Eli knows a little bit of music.
"Eli, let me tell you the truth, this is the first time in my life that I have been shocked by music. You should know that I have never been very interested in music." Liam said firmly, this time it was Lai was stunned for a while, and it was natural for friends to understand each other better, "Trust me, you will definitely be impressed by them after you have heard their live performance, they will perform in the same place tomorrow, you and I will go together. How's it going?"
Eli frowned slightly, "Can they be better than Nirvana?"
"Yes!" Liam said directly without thinking at all.
Eli patted his head. He forgot that his friend knew almost nothing about music. Liam didn't even know who Nirvana was or how strong it was. How could he make a correct judgment. However, Eli didn't see Liam's excitement for a long time. He couldn't help but be a little curious. Although he didn't have any confidence in the strength of the band at all, he still nodded, "Sure, tomorrow Let's go see it together."
