Three Hundred and Seventieth Six Real Moments
"...I...uh...I have no idea what's going on now, what's going on, and I don't know what nonsense I'm talking about..."
Ollie was very honest, what words came to his mind, he just said it without any concealment, which made Cliff standing behind break out in a cold sweat, trying to control the scene, but at this moment it was no longer Kerry The situation that the husband can control, he couldn't help but clenched his fists, only to feel that his palms were slippery.
"When writing this song, our band fell into deep self-doubt. We...we didn't know how the band should go on. Disbanding and giving up seemed to be the only option. Even though we refused to accept the truth, deep down, In fact, we all know that there is no other way."
Ollie's voice was trembling slightly, and his fragmented words didn't have a clear flow, he just threw out whatever came to his mind, but as he spoke, his vision became blurred, and the bright lights in front of him gave out some spots of light. The field was shining, and everything was covered with a layer of mist.
"I'm... very scared and scared. I have nightmares all day and all night. I'm afraid that I won't be able to wake up if I fall asleep, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to sleep in bed. I'm afraid of giving up my dreams and myself. , Totally defeated, I don't know how to persist or how to continue fighting, what's worse, I can't seem to find anyone to turn to, there is no window and no exit."
This is the truest and most fragile emotion in Ollie's heart.
Maxim and Cliff exchanged a glance. Neither of them expected that Ollie, who was caught in the chaos and tension, actually faced the inner wounds so calmly and sincerely showed the wounds of the band during his acceptance speech. So fragile that their eyes trembled slightly.
In fact, Ollie didn't know what he was talking about at all, and his mind went blank. It seemed that another self was speaking, and he was only driven by instinct/ability to respond.
Subconsciously, Ollie turned his head to look at his teammates, trying to ask for help—he always felt that he was making a mistake, and then he saw Maxim and Cliff both clenched their fists for him, while Ronan kept his eyes on Staring at him brightly, those eyes seemed to say "well done".
Ollie swallowed a mouthful of saliva and turned to look at the auditorium again.
"But... Ronan told me, close your eyes and accept the darkness. Darkness is allowed, and confusion is also allowed, but as long as the melody can still ring in my ears, then I can know that after all, there are some things that darkness cannot take away. Yes. Music is not just a dream like a slogan, but also a part of life.”

rush,
Confusion, trembling.
Ollie's acceptance speech was ups and downs like a roller coaster. As he spoke, the crystal tears in his eyes seemed to flow uncontrollably, and he could even see his shoulders and hands trembling slightly because he was too excited, and he looked like he was falling apart. Unreservedly displayed in front of the eyes.
However, it is so sincere and so touching.
The guests at the scene could deeply feel the true feelings behind the chaotic words. Wesley of Shining Band was the first to stand up and blow his whistle, completely ignoring the strange sights of other guests and audience, just using his own way to serve the Olympic Games. Cheer up and give praise.
This time, Jeremiah did not stop Wesley, not only did not stop, but also stood up together, expressing support with applause and cheers.
"So, I actually recorded those emotions with the tip of my pen, and in the hands of Ronan, I created this song completely."
Ollie's tears couldn't be contained after all, they just broke through the eye sockets and slid down, the slightly red eye sockets were filled with too much confusion.
No one can really imagine the story behind the song "My Devil", but every musician present who is chasing their dreams has their own story, and they all understand what kind of ups and downs it was, and what kind of Behind all the hardships, maybe behind the success, they have been ready to give up and surrender countless times, and the final persistence is not so much fighting spirit, as it is lingering and unwilling.
It is precisely because of this that the joy of success is even more turbulent, even with a kind of rejoicing, as if he escaped from death.
"If you ask me, how did we get here, and how did we overcome the darkness, I don't know, and I don't have an answer."
"The only thing we do is sing, sing as loud as we want. Ronan told me, tonight, we are here for the Grammy stage, performance is our weapon, music is our life, that's all. And then , we stand here to show you those frailties and scars, and to raise our voice to tell those who are in the endless darkness, remember that there are some things that even the darkness can't take away."
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"
again and again.
over and over again.
After Ollie finished speaking, he trembled uncontrollably, holding the phonograph trophy tightly with both hands, crying uncontrollably.
Perhaps, in the eyes of outsiders, this is already the third time that the king of the day has received the award tonight. The dark horse is in good condition, and may even become the biggest winner tonight. They should be happy, joyful, and celebrating; but, for the band members, It's all too good to be true.
Even on stage for the third time, the turbulent emotions were still difficult to control, and then completely burst like this.
Sincerely!
It's hard not to be moved by it.
Lucy could clearly feel the lively enthusiasm in Ollie's chest, and she couldn't help crying along with it. From the corner of her vision, she seemed to be able to see that many figures in the guest seats on the first floor had stood up, Shining Band and Huanyu The team's shouts are undoubtedly the most lively and loudest, because they can really empathize with each other, and every word Ollie said is so real, with the weight of reality.
At this point, recalling the performance of "My Demon" again, and the lyrics of "Falling Apart", the intricate emotions are all the more real.
Lucy also stood up and gave applause to the king for a day, to every musician who pursues his dream but is still trapped in the long darkness, and also to the countless ordinary people who work hard in life Applause, believe in the power of dreams to make life bearable.
One after another, the applause at Staples Stadium became one piece again.
Perhaps, the song of the year really broke out a shocking upset, but at this moment, seeing Ollie showing his true feelings, the guests and audience can deeply feel the weight of the award; recalling the performance stage of King One Day tonight, They definitely deserve the affirmation and encouragement of applause.
Under the stage, Bruno and Wesley were in different positions in the auditorium, but they both stood up and whistled, taking the lead to encourage the applause of the audience, and the bustling sound once again sent blessings to the king for a day.
