Chapter 398 Chapter 398

The five members of the Glory to Death were ready on stage, and on the other stage, Radiohead's performance had already begun.

The configuration of Radiohead's five members is exactly the drum, bass, keyboard player and two guitar players, almost exactly the same as Glory to Death, they are also the lead singer Toms-York who also acts as the guitar player when the keyboard player must play. This kind of The completely overlapping band configuration is the first time since the establishment of Glory to Death for the first time, which also makes the members of Glory to Death begin to look forward to it.

As soon as Radiohead came up, he played a song "Pop is Dead". This song is relatively short, only a little over two minutes. The whole song has a strong experimental nature. Lyrics, free and manic arrangements, are full of unique personalities. The most attractive is the performance of the lead singer Thomas. The poignant voice and fickle breathing give the whole song a kind of psychedelic. unease. Just one song, it's the tip of the iceberg that captures Radiohead's stark style from the mainstream.

At this time, the crowd in the square was still quite lively. About 200 people could be caught within sight, and there were nearly 100 people sitting peacefully at the entrance of the nearby coffee house and on the benches in the square. The performance was obviously very adaptable, and people began to stand in front of Radiohead's stage one after another, but the audience was not very large.

First, Radiohead is a rookie band, and second, their music style is not the Nirvana style that everyone is familiar with, so it is unlikely that the audience will come over quickly. But the magic of Memphis is that it is a place with infinite tolerance for musical styles, otherwise rock and roll would not have been born here, so even if the audience is not used to the style of Radiohead, there are still many people Diverted attention.

Afterwards, Radiohead began to play the second song, and just by hearing the intro, Hugo knew that "Reptile" was coming.

The rough guitar strings and electronic keyboard sounds mixed with heavy drum beats sounded unremarkable, and Toms' opening line was also very vague. It penetrated into it, but with the roar of two powerful guitars, the melancholy and heavy pain that had accumulated unknowingly was released in an instant.

"But I'm just a reptile, I'm just a weirdo, and what the hell am I doing here? I don't fit in here."

It was just a momentary release, but it made people's eyes burst into infinite light. Pedro, Fukin and others stopped their movements and quietly admired Thomas's strokes like a stroke from the sky. Magical performance, really good music is the same for everyone, there is no jealousy, no hatred, no complaints, just pure appreciation, and then want to send applause and respect to the opponent, the excitement and resonance in the heart is so real similar with.

More than just the members of the band who died of glory, the audience in the square was also shocked. The audience standing in front of the stage was frozen in place, and the bustling crowd around them gradually quieted down, and then slowly. , slowly approaching the stage, their steps are so light, lest a little noise will interrupt Thomas's sound-like performance on the stage.

Standing on the stage, Thomas was holding his microphone with all his attention. He didn't have time to pay attention to the changes around him. All his energy was poured into the music, and his inner emotions became vivid in the music. , as if dancing wildly under the sun.

Hugo has heard at least 40 covers of the song "Reptile", but in Hugo's opinion, none of the covers can surpass Thomas's original singing, the vibrato from the depths of the soul and the inability to erase reality. Nightmare drifts poignantly and slowly in his voice, even Vincent Van Gogh's "Starry Night" can't compare with it, the true emotion in the lonely and desolate atmosphere is slowly exuded in the musical symbols , When the peak of the chorus comes, the weak and silent roar that pierces the pain in the heart has an explosive force that stops the whole world.

Listen, "She ran out again, running, running, running, running..." Thomas' voice slowly bloomed in the melody, blooming a coquettish and perfect black dahlia, the harmony and contradiction of love and hate , was frozen into ice in an instant, and then carved into gorgeous ice sculptures, so beautiful that it was dizzying and suffocating.

Regarding the almost perfect performance of Radiohead, Hugo was speechless except for the exclamation "Damn", so the language lost its color, and he could not find an accurate emotion to describe His own mood, at this time, he had an urge to pick up his guitar, and then vented the hot and boiling emotions in his heart through music. The only thing that can resonate with music is music.

There are other teammates who have the same idea as Hugo. The strength of Radiohead did not convince them. On the contrary, it inspired them to fight more fiercely. They wanted to learn from Radiohead, not to defeat each other, but just Want to use your own music to communicate with each other, this is the magic of music.

The audience in the square was stunned by Radiohead's performance. After the entire song was sung, about five seconds passed. After the first applause sounded, the scattered applause quickly gathered, and then formed A gorgeous piece of music. Liam Pinkman, Eli Carsway and Samora Carsway, who were standing in the square at this time, were all clapping their hands with excitement. It's all the same, no one can make an exception.

But at this moment, another stage in the square also sounded a melody, just the simplest guitar string sound, accompanied by the drum beat slowly releasing energy, a mellow and slightly magnetic voice hummed softly, "I am so happy , because today, I have found my friends and they are in my head."

These are two completely different styles from Radiohead. If Radiohead's "Reptile" just now has a psychedelic and irritable poignant beauty, then the music on this stage has a decadent and depressing coquettishness, but both styles are There is one thing in common, and that is the trembling that goes into the depths of the soul, making it almost impossible to control the beginning of trembling.

Many audience members in the square began to turn their heads to look at the other stage. The distance between the two stages was about thirty yards. In fact, this distance made it possible for the two stages to perform at the same time without affecting each other. When the stage began to perform, Radiohead unexpectedly stopped, and instead of starting the performance again, he focused on the band.

Liam was the first to run to the other stage. He came to die for glory, and no matter how wonderful Radiohead's performance was, it could not replace the supremacy of glory to death in his heart, and then Eli The two of them and Samora also ran over together. Some of the audience who were sitting in front of the stage also came over one after another, and in an instant, about 30 people gathered in front of the stage, which seemed very lively.

"I'm so ugly, but it's okay, because you are too, let's smash the mirror together." Hugo's voice was a little lazy, and there was always a mocking and absurd smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was laughing at the world, but also as if he was laughing at the world. In laughing at himself, "Every day I only look forward to Sunday morning, I am not afraid, light my candle, in a state of dizziness, because I have found the Lord God."

The emotions released in the song are so obscure and profound that people seem to have no way to understand the true meaning of the song for the first time, but the soul has been silently affected, which is similar to the "reptile". The effect is exactly the same. Just when everyone was wondering how the band would perform next and how the song would go, the drum beat suddenly intensified, and then all the energy was released like a shock wave.

"Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah!" This feeling is as if a tall building suddenly appeared on the ground, and the huge energy released suddenly caught everyone off guard. Before they realized it, the whole person was completely He was shocked and stunned, his whole mind fell into a mess, and there was no way to make any effective response at all.

The wanton swaying full of tyrannical and destructive flavors tore Hugo's mellow voice into full holes, and at the same time tore the negative emotions in the song to pieces. Almost all audiences have similar feelings, Hugo's singing is like It was the palm of a giant that grabbed their throats suddenly, causing their brains to fall into a state of hypoxia in an instant, and their cheeks flushed red, but strangely, the blood gushing out of their hearts seemed like a volcanic eruption. Generally, when all the energy is released, it is like a wild wolf that has been hungry for a few days roaring wildly in the chest. This extreme emotion makes people instantly panic, and can only passively be ravaged by inner emotions. mess.

But just when I thought that the world was about to fall into darkness and that suffocation would make everything blood red, the palm of my hand on my neck suddenly loosened, and the fresh air rushed into my chest like a flood, the beauty of life. Blooming all over the world in an instant, the hustle and bustle of tinnitus makes everything around them meaningless.

It's hard to imagine that the impact of the music can be so violent; it's even harder to imagine that a minute ago they were in this predicament because of Radiohead's "Reptile"; but a minute later they died because of glory The song "Lithium" is in a similar predicament, and it is puzzling that the styles of the two songs can be said to be 108,000 miles apart, but the smiles they bring are so resemblance.

Perhaps, this is the power of music, making people intoxicated, intoxicated, and even more moths to the flames!
