Chapter 379 379

Eli and Liam sat in the garden in the middle of the street, looking bored at the passersby around them. Eli is a person who is very interested in music. He likes music very widely, including the trend of recent trends. However, Eli believes that there are very few people who can be like The Beatles or Michael Jackson. , forming an influence on the entire culture, and more importantly, their musical spirit has become the core of the culture, and they have raised music to the field of art with their own talent and strength, which is very rare. It's a pity that there are no such real superstars in the music field now.

Therefore, although Eli is interested in music, he is not very interested in singers. He admires the Beatles and Michael Jackson, but he missed the peak of these two singers because of his age, so he has no real meaning. Follow the idols on.

The reason why I am willing to follow Liam to watch the performance of this street band is just out of curiosity. Eli is naturally aware of the commotion, anxiety and confusion of his friend recently, and the state Liam showed on the phone yesterday was a long time ago, so Eli is also very curious, what is Liam watching? What kind of performance, so excited and excited.

"Have they changed places? You know, this kind of unnamed band wandering the streets always has to go to a crowded place." Eli looked at his watch, they had been waiting for at least half an hour, but Still haven't seen the band Liam was talking about.

Liam shook his head firmly, "They said, they will still be here, they will not change places. It's just that I forgot to ask the time yesterday, so I came here an hour earlier to avoid being late. I guess they will show up after a while."

Eli looked at the firmness of his friend, but didn't believe it, "You know, this kind of band says they won't change places, but the situation is changing at any time..."

"Eli! I said no, it's no!" Liam is willing to believe in Glory to Death. It has nothing to do with the length of time we have known each other, just because yesterday Glory to Death still gave his heart to the audience when there was only one person in the audience. Performing as best they can, it shows Liam that they deserve his admiration and trust.

Eli looked at Liam's irritable expression, curled his lips, did not speak any more, and decided not to provoke his friends. But he was quite disdainful in his heart. Liam didn't know anything about the band or music, and Eli couldn't blame him.

Eli turned his eyes away and watched a magician perform alone at the scene not far away. He performed two performances, but the audience was always small, so the magician began to pack his equipment. It looks like it's about to change places: I can't blame him, after all, street performances are built to have audiences.

At this moment, Liam pulled Eli hard, and when Eli turned around, he saw five men carrying musical instruments from a pickup truck not far away, "Is that them?" Eli asked.

Liam nodded vigorously and walked up excitedly, Eli followed helplessly. Before Liam got close enough, he saw one of the band actively greeted, "Hey, you're here!" Then a smile appeared on his face, and then the other members of the band turned their heads and smiled. Say hello to Liam.

"I said, I will come again." Liam said happily, but he was a little cramped. He didn't know how to express his inner emotions, so he could only pull his friends around, "This is my best Friend, Eli Carthaway! We're here to cheer you on."

"Haha, then this is really good." The speaker Eli recognized it as the band's bass player, with a very lively and cheerful personality, "Hugo, it seems that our band has the first loyal fan."

The direction the bass player was looking at was the lead singer, and Eli couldn't help calling the number: the lead singer's name was Hugo. The lead singer replied, "Then you have to perform well today, otherwise the first fan will run away and it will be too late to cry." This sentence made everyone burst into laughter.

Looking at the laughing band in front of him, Liam turned his head and excitedly said to his friend, "How about it, aren't they great."

Eli resisted the urge to roll his eyes: good people don't mean music is good, this should be basic common sense that children know. What's more, now I just see that the atmosphere of the band is harmonious, and there is nothing at all. Maybe after the band went back, the quarrels continued, and there was a split over who was more popular... Eli's mind was flooded with complaints, and he was a little powerless about his ignorance of Liam.

But soon, Eli's tumultuous thoughts came to an abrupt end when the band's first song started.

The crisp guitar strings are full of the vicissitudes of vicissitudes, just a few strings to outline a moving picture, "My vision is extremely broad, I enjoy walking on the road every day, admiring the world outside the window, It means saying goodbye to the past and starting the journey today." The lead singer's calm and atmospheric singing style is even more eye-catching, and most importantly, the splendor of the song is completely unexpected.

As a pseudo-fan, Eli is not crazy about a certain band or a certain singer, nor does he have a real in-depth understanding of a certain type of music, but he still has his own opinions on the popular trends of today's music. Eli can clearly feel that the style of the band in front of him is simple and atmospheric, which is completely different from the current metal rock trend represented by Nirvana.

In this song just now, the chords in the arrangement can't show off tricks. It relies more on the cooperation between the drums, guitar and bass to exert the charm of the instrument itself, weave a melody, and finally rely on the lead singer to be full of explosive power and surging Emotional singing brings out the essence of the song.

In the sentence "Sometimes leaving means a second chance", the warm but magnetic voice of the lead singer is always like a cactus in the desert, growing stubbornly and strongly. This kind of amazing power that invades the soul is refreshing. . Maybe this band doesn't have enough arrangements, maybe this band doesn't have enough guitar styles, maybe this band is out of tune with today's music trends, but the soul that the band injects into the music makes people feel resonant.

Although it was an accident, Eli still had to admit that Liam was right this time. Of course, Eli thinks that we need to continue to observe, after all, the overall strength of the band can't just listen to one song, but only after watching the whole performance can I make a judgment. But Eli understands why Liam was so excited yesterday, because the band's singing and performances always resonate in people's hearts.

It's like this "Second. Chance", the vicissitudes and enlightenment of the lyrics, the sway and wanton singing, not everyone can control, especially after abandoning the complexity of technology and arranging tricks , still able to maintain the vitality of the music, which is too rare.

It was because Liam didn't know anything about music that he was moved so simply by the pure soul of music, and Liam could feel the pure love of music in this band. Eli suddenly began to look forward faintly. He was looking forward to the next performance of the band, whether it would continue the wonderful performance of the first song, or would it wither after only one burst.

The band was quick to give their answers, with the second track "Kill. Your. Heroes" once again destroying all Eli's perception of music, while the third track "Lithium" renewed Returning to the trend line, but showing a completely different impact, this completely conquered Eli.

Eli couldn't believe that Liam had discovered such an excellent band, even if it was comparable to the leading bands today. Perhaps the band's technical style and performance level were still a little green. But their live performance and emotional appeal are absolutely top-notch, and more importantly, the band's subversion of today's music trends is shocking.

Eli looked at the small audience around him. At most, six people stood beside him, but he quickly moved away again, which made Eli involuntarily complain for the band. This band doesn't deserve this kind of treatment, their music deserves more praise and more attention, and these ordinary people don't know how to appreciate their music at all. Eli thought angrily.

What surprised Eli even more was that the band was not affected by the size of the audience at all. They were always engrossed in the music and performed every song seriously. Any time a mistake was made, the band members would give each other eye hints and try their best. Make every effort to ensure the quality of the performance. Even when there are only two people in front of him and Liam in the audience, the attitude of the band members is not any contempt. Their dedication and sincerity to music give their music a soul-stirring power.

Eli was stunned. He was completely moved by the band in front of him, because of their music, but also because of their love for music. Although rock is very popular now, and there are more than 8000 rock bands, it is difficult to find a band that can awaken the resonance of one's soul. But Eli realized how lucky he was that he had found it.

When the melody of "Don't. Look. Back. In. Anger" slowly dissipated in the air, Eli looked at Liam with tears in his eyes and wiped his eyes in embarrassment There were tears in the air, and he coughed twice, "Liam, what do you think this band is called?"

"Glory to the death." Liam said word by word, even a team name, contains the band's unswerving spirit.

Eli stood where he was, watching the band members smiling and wholeheartedly, muttering in a low voice, "Glory to death." He knew that this was the band that had always been worthy of all his sacrifices.
