Five Hundred and Forty-Two Once Owned

Sophie raised her head to look at Kane, as well as Josh, Melissa, Danny, and Mark. They all had similar bright smiles on their faces.

They met because of the band, they shared their lives because of the band, they connected because of the band, and in the days of listening to the band's music, they walked hand in hand for a while and became part of each other's lives; now, they may even be the band's music a part of.

It feels a little strange.

But if you think about it seriously, even if you have not become a part of the music, their lives have long been linked to the band——

They once "performed" "Top of the World" with the band at the Washington Field; they once met a group of friends because of buying the band's album; they have gathered together countless times because of the band.

Music is already a part of life, including the Coachella Music Festival, where people gather from all over the world to the same place, divide their lives into small fragments, and stand side by side with each other.

Even Duncan, who is curled up in the tool room of the factory, is no exception. In an invisible corner, his life is connected with the audience in the Indio desert in another way. Everything is because of King for a day.

Listening to the frequency of the radio, Duncan couldn't help but feel agitated. Even if he looked around and was alone, he could still feel that the frequency of the radio wave connected countless lonely, lost, and lost souls. Using music as a bridge, in the long Find a moment of peace in life.

Closing his eyes, Duncan seemed to be able to really feel the roiling heat of the Indio desert swelling on the surface of his skin, so loud and so hot.

The simple interlude words, clean and neat, exude a kind of chic and wanton from the inside out, as if the performance has become a kind of enjoyment.

This kind of Ronan has never been seen in previous tours - or because of the Coachella Music Festival, this desert, this stage, this crowd, this air, the vastness and vastness of the sea and sky always make people feel excited and gurgling The boiling blood makes the hormones bloom like fireworks.

Ronan didn't say anything more, just made a gesture with his jaw, and then Cliff's fingertips fell gently, and the clear and agile keyboard sounds filled the audience, and the flowing keyboard sounds flowed out like a trickle. , like a clear spring in the dry and vast desert.

Ding dong.

"What?"

Lewis and Ruth were unfamiliar with One Day King,

They just got to know them because of the Grammys, and they had some interest, so they were not familiar with the songs of King for a Day at all; but Kane and Sophie couldn't be more familiar with them. The album "Seven", they have repeated I have listened to it countless times, and I know the prelude and chorus of each track well, but I have never heard of this song.

Kane and Sophie looked at each other for the first time, their eyes filled with astonishment and surprise——

It was completely unexpected that the King performed a new song at the Coachella Music Festival one day!

Actually!

However, it is not surprising when you think about it seriously, just like the Grammy stage performance "falling apart", the king of the day has never played his cards according to common sense, and it is not uncommon for the Coachella Music Festival to present a unique new song stage .

From the opening "Top of the World" to the coherent brand-new works, One Day King is always breaking the fixed thinking, and you can feel their personality in every word and deed. Involuntarily, people's expectations are full and blood is boiling. Are they going to witness another Grammy-level stage?

More importantly, what exactly does the new song mean?

Just a new song, or...a new album?

After the Grammys, the major media continued to mention the new album when interviewing the One Day King, even if it was just a gimmick, but Ronan expressed mutual views on different occasions:

In fact, the creation has been going on all the time, but there is no preparation for a new album yet.

So, the fact that Coachella has finally chosen to perform new songs means the band is ready to record a new album?

so fast!

Realizing this, Kane and Sophie quickly looked at each other and exchanged glances. From the bright eyes of each other, it could be known that they had the same idea, but there was really no time to communicate in detail at this time. In a mood, the two of them turned their heads to look at the stage again.

thump! thump thump!

thump! thump thump!

The soft and smooth piano key sounds surged in the hot air, like an orchid in an empty valley quietly blooming, and then, the layered drums sounded quietly, not overwhelming, but softly ringing behind the piano sound, from From the clear sound of the hanging cymbals to the dense rhythm of the tom drums, the gradual layers gradually enrich the melody, but it always remains light and simple, and a sense of vast sea and sky makes the hearing transparent.

It is not the style of "My Demon" or "Falling Apart", but a return to the style of "Chasing the Light". It seems that I can feel the mixed taste of hope in sadness and sunshine refracted in tears. The image of Orchid in the empty valley in my mind It is becoming more and more specific and clear.

It seems that you can really smell a scent of orchids.

Then, you can see Ronan holding the microphone tightly with both hands, his shoulders drooping slightly, his eyes slightly closed, a faint sadness exuded from his whole body, and he hummed softly.

"Your photo is still on my bedside. You said that the feeling between us has changed. I don't want things to develop like this. I want you to continue to love me." (Note 1)

Speaking eloquently, cutting in slowly, the unhurried rhythm brings a kind of soothing comfort, like a breeze blowing on the face, melting into the gurgling and flowing piano keys, refreshing, translucent, bright, and crystal clear. Any cover-up, just like this, reveals one's true self.

There is no embellishment or carving of any skills, but you can feel a little loss in the articulation and sound, and every word is telling the story——

The heart was pulled gently, not with much force, but just gently and softly, and his thoughts slowly fell into the big net woven by Ronan.

The air was still turbulent and tumbling, and the heat wave continued; but the audience in front of the third stage became quiet, their blood was still boiling, but their thoughts settled down disturbingly, and they entered the world of memories. Deep up, unable to extricate themselves.

"I missed the time when I fell in love with her. Time is the healer and the executioner. All I have left are memories, and my whole mind is full of regrets."

despair. despair.

The lyrics, like tears falling into a lake, rippled in the depths of Sophie's heart. The lyrics about time, like poetry, easily captured the softest part of Sophie's heart, an emotion mixed with sadness and bitterness Suddenly, an absurd and crazy idea appeared in my mind:

Could it be that that fan...is me?
