Five Hundred and Forty-Nine, the Crowd Is Rolling

The vast desert has no end in sight; the scorching sun covers the whole venue, and the hot waves steam over the golden yellow sand. The whole world is distorted into a space that is out of reality, as if far away from the secular life, passing through the gate of the magic world Then enter a wonderful different world.

Boom!

Boom!

The Indio desert in April is like an isolated island standing at the end of the world. An oasis has been opened up in a deserted corner. It is a paradise for rebels, aliens, and fugitives. Carnival to exhaustion in this piece of land.

That's what Coachella is all about.

However, even in Coachella, there are still differences. Mainstream and niche, commercial and independent, focus and supporting roles, the same stage still has different treatment after all. Some stages are more lively, others are cooler, and some stages may be Can't squeeze in and some stages are forgotten.

Even in the extra-legal place at the end of the world, they still haven't been able to completely get rid of the order and class of the secular world.

Perhaps, this is the lingering vice in the nature of human nature.

Stage No. 3 is an abandoned place in the ends of the earth.

Because of the relationship between location and space, the road to Stage 3 is like the difficult journey to the Western Regions to learn Buddhist scriptures in "Journey to the West". It takes ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties to reach the end, and it is only after all kinds of difficulties and dangers that the true scriptures can be obtained. , but people still tend not to embark on the journey if they can.

Imagine, staying near the main venue, you can enjoy the performances of Stage 1 and Stage 2, switch freely at any time, walk two steps and enjoy Stage 4 again, the rich choices give them great freedom; moreover, It is also closer to the mobile vendors for water supply and food, and can complete energy replenishment at any time. Even if you are tired, it is more convenient to turn around and leave to return to the camp, and you can leave at any time.

However, if you go to the third stage and travel through mountains and rivers, you even need to carry food on your back, and then stay there, you may not be too lazy to walk back, which means that you will miss many performances on the other three stages, and you can only pay attention to the whole of the third stage. It seems that it is too cost-effective for a music festival——

Who goes to a music festival just for one band? If you only like one singer, then going to a concert is the best choice; and coming to the music festival is to feel the charm of different artists and look forward to exploring more possibilities.

It is precisely because of this that although the audience capacity of the third stage is comparable to that of the first stage, and may even be slightly larger, it is difficult to fill the empty venue. visible.

as if,

That's the real corner of oblivion.

However, the afternoon of the first day of the Coachella Music Festival was a little different. After experiencing the silence in the morning, the land slowly began to wake up.

Buzz buzz!

Boom boom boom!

The shocking roar from a remote corner is so turbulent and boiling, you can feel the frenzy just by catching the sound with your ears, and you can even feel the slight vibration through the soles of your feet. It is difficult to distinguish whether it is the noise of the main venue or a distant corner The madness that came.

Because of the complete isolation of the line of sight, standing in the main venue could not see the situation on stage 3 at all, so it was impossible to judge what was going on there.

That kind of feeling is like... In the legendary ends of the earth, there is a secret base, where a carnival party known only to a few people is being held, and only outlaw lunatics, exiled villains, and evil forces can find the entrance and unload all of them. Guard and burden, dance and sing as much as you want, stand at the end of the world and touch the extreme of time, completely smash the order and rules of mainstream society, and embrace absolute freedom.

That is the real lonely place that no one can reach.

That is the never-ending island where you can release your true self.

Reality, that is.

Although the main venue is very lively, crowded with people, the noisy atmosphere is rolling in the air, the dense heat waves are overwhelming, and all the sights are filled with figures, densely packed figures fill the corners of the field of vision, but... but in a trance There was a sense of loneliness and alienation between them.

They, coming to Coachella Music Festival, just want to escape from the mainstream society for a short time, as if they were exiled, looking for an oasis in the desert, but looking around, they seem to have entered another mainstream society from one mainstream society, even though their footsteps have stood still. At the end of the world, it is still impossible to get rid of the crowd.

Then, the distant sound becomes moving and beautiful.

Boom boom boom!

Ahhh!

Waves of air rippled like ripples, that kind of enthusiasm and madness, with a kind of unrestrained carefree and wanton, rebelliously rampaging.

So, should we continue to escape?

However, looking at the fuzzy band on the first stage and the Wudang faction on the second stage, I can't help but hesitate for a moment, standing in the same place as if at a loss, it seems that from various perspectives, staying in the same place is the best choice , The distant corner is full of countless unknowns, which is daunting.

However, even so, it still couldn't stop the adventurous spirit from bursting out. A small group of people stepped forward and went forward, and an unfettered paradise slowly unfolded in front of them——

There, there are no flowers and clear springs; there, there is no city in the sky; there, there is no mysterious treasure... There is only a party full of singing and dancing, singing and dancing, letting go, getting rid of all shackles and burdens, and immersing yourself in the melody. The heart is proudly blooming.

There, there is no secular vision; there, there is no social restraint; there, there is no pressure in life... Only free souls bloom with brilliant colors, as if tomorrow is the end of the world, as if no one pays attention, just embrace the most real The purest self.

"...get out of my head, I should move on; get out of my head, if I continue to love you, I will die..."

On the stage, a figure is singing loudly, his figure immersed in the melody swaying gently with the rhythm, the lyrics that come at hand are not a burst of rhythm and roar, nor a hoarse explosion, but a touch of wantonness is outlined in the shallow singing and low singing. The unassuming, graceful voice injects vitality into the notes, as if the music has become alive.

Before even getting close, the body can't wait to sway and jump together, and the blood feels the calling of the singing.

Then, approaching slowly, entering the dense heat wave, you can blend into it without any effort. Everywhere you look, there are relaxed faces, but they are not blurred by the medicine, shining brightly You can clearly see the flashing of vitality in your eyes, and you can always see a warm and welcoming smile when you inadvertently cross your eyes. Involuntarily, the corners of your mouth also rise together.

Subtle, touching.
