Five Hundred and Sixty-Three Special Gifts

Ding dong ding dong ding dong...

The cool and peaceful piano key sounds flowed down from Cliff's fingertips, as clear and cold as mountain water, rushing into the heat wave of the Indio desert out of place, the coolness was really out of place, like a bucket of cold water, covering the head and face The ground fell directly, and there was a heart-breaking chill.

One second ago, the audience shouted "Guardian" hoarsely, and the heat wave reached a new peak again, waiting for the thunderous bombardment of drums and thunder; When they calmed down, they were all extinguished before they erupted.

The cliff-like drop created the palpitations of free fall, and was instantly overwhelmed by astonishment and shock, and the heart was completely frozen, so that he forgot to breathe.

How is this going?

However, Sophie's mood went straight to the sky, because she knew that she guessed right——

a new song.

A new song that has never been released, and the opening "Strangers (Strangers)" complement each other, once again confirming Sophie's bold conjecture!

Just as everyone was still shocked by the one-day king's history-making move at the Grammys, every performance was an opportunity to refresh their knowledge and get to know the band again. Get ready to start a new chapter and embark on an adventure again.

A new song!

And what better place to start a new journey than Coachella? What could be more suitable as a cheer for a new adventure than the cheers of the 40,000 spectators in the audience?

Sophie, watching Ronan in the center of the stage, even before she started singing, her eyes were already filled with tears, whether it was joy or happiness, it was even more satisfying.

Melissa didn't expect Sophie to be so far-reaching for the time being, but she was equally excited, because the band was about to perform a new song, and it was an unusual new song, just like "Chasing the Light", the king of the day can always give the melody a unique Qualities that pass through the armor and into the soul.

From extreme madness to extreme tranquility, from extreme frenzy to extreme lightness, the free-falling fall suppressed all the turbulence and settled in the chest, waiting for a new round of eruption——after two hours of cheering and shouting After that, especially in the hot desert environment, I was on the verge of dehydration and exhausted, and I had reached the extreme point. Such a precipitous drop allowed my strength to accumulate again.

Melissa, love the gap,

Even at the first eight-beat cut-in, she couldn't help the turmoil in her heart, but forced herself to calm down, staring at the stage wholeheartedly, her whole body and mind were integrated into the melody, and only the notes were left in the world. move.

Ding dong ding dong ding dong...

The melody, light and cold, filled the audience.

Although it was incompatible with the atmosphere of the audience, the amazing thing is that the roiling heat wave seemed to settle down, and an oasis was found amidst the heat and madness, and the whole person gradually cooled down, and after a short period of discomfort, they gradually felt a sense of comfort , can't help wandering in it.

Then, Ronan hummed softly, without lyrics, just the melody, like a lullaby, humming the melody softly, sending a cool breeze.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah……"

So gentle and so light.

So beautiful and so touching.

The steel turns into soft fingers, refreshing like a gurgling spring, and you can even feel the fishy smell of the water coming to your face. The golden transparent sun shines on it, revealing a little bit of warmth in the coolness, and the whole mind They all relax and get lost in it involuntarily.

Slowly, just like this, I closed my eyes slowly, feeling carefully the emotions in Ronan's humming voice, and the tired nerves that were excited for two hours, released for two hours, and crazy for two hours relaxed like this , fell into the clear stream in a free fall, the heat and scorching heat all disappeared, from soaring in the sky to swimming in the stream, the whistling wind in the ears changed to the sound of gurgling water, and then——

The smile on the corner of his mouth rose slightly.

Ronan's humming is still clear and bright, but after singing for two hours, he can faintly feel a slight hoarseness hidden in his voice, but when he hums softly, it endows the melody with a little magnetism, just like vinyl. The noise of the record turning is even more charming.

Emotions, all settled down, seem to be unable to feel the weight given by Ronan, but gently and softly, like cotton clouds surrounding the ears, even touching the blue sky, and feeling the breeze with fingertips , The gurgling flow of the stream relaxes every cell.

Then, Ronan spoke.

"Throwing the white flag is like being abandoned. What we desire is not what we think we desire..." (Note 1)

There is a trace of hoarseness in the voice, with a little sigh and loss, entangled in the melody and flowing out, but it is not sadness, nor is it a smile, just a kind of lightness, telling the story without rushing too much emotion. Emotional, let the notes slowly inject into the depths of the soul.

However, the unmodified, unsculpted and unrefined singing voice collides with the original appearance of the lyrics and melody, sparking sparks on the tip of the tongue.

Duncan, just stunned——

What does it mean, "What we desire is not what we think we desire"? What does it mean?

Whether...maybe...possible...we follow the expectations of the mainstream society into a way of life, but never think about whether this is what we really "desire", give up independent thinking, just choose the simplest and most convenient A way to make life a little easier.

read. employment. marry. have children. buy a house. upbringing. disease. die.

Go through every stage of life step by step, everything seems to have been arranged in advance, and after reaching a certain point, you will naturally enter that step, never slowing down to think, do you really desire this? Are you really ready for it?

Maybe, after thinking about it, I do desire such a life, maybe not. But in any case, without thinking, is it tantamount to throwing a white flag?

Is what we desire really what we desire?

A line of lyrics fell lightly and softly, but hit Duncan's heart so hard that he couldn't breathe. He froze in place like an idiot, and even forgot to breathe. The soul is so deep in it, unable to extricate itself.

The music of One Day King always seems to be like this, but it can poke the soft underbelly of the heart in an understatement.

This is true of "Chasing the Light," and so is the new song at this moment.

Listen, Ronan's singing voice slightly raised a little, and there was a little bit of embarrassment and bitterness in his clear singing voice, but the smile on the corner of his mouth rose.

When we learn to laugh with tears and bitterness with sweetness, we will grow up.

"White the white flag, we can't predict the future, what we need is not what we think we need..."
