Eight Hundred and Twenty-Seven No Encore

The cold wave and storm seem to be getting stronger and stronger, and the concert boom seems to be continuous. Madison Square Garden is evolving into an active volcano, and it is continuously active throughout the night. The surging enthusiasm has become the most sleepless night. A gleaming landscape outlines one of the most moving corners of the New York skyline in the chaotic night of the tyranny of nature.

Who could have predicted that the concert prepared in four days would be full of seats; who could have predicted that the performers who did not do their jobs would shock the audience; Beginning in chaos and blooming in chaos, "One Person's Concert" is showing a distinctive and proud youth.

The show continues.

Facing the unanimous call of the audience, Renly did not comply with public opinion and refused to perform "Cleopatra", but chose "Simple Life". At the beginning, on "Pioneer Village Night", this song was a blockbuster and lit up the whole night; tonight, on Madison Square Garden night, people felt the madness again, and the audience was boiling!

This is destined to be a night of irrationality, and it is destined to be a night of carnival. From 'Ophelia' to 'Simple Life', from 'Your Bones' to 'A Piece of Nothingness', from 'Budapest' to 'Be Sure'...the beautiful and moving album of 'Don Quixote' , displayed in front of the audience without reservation.

As every fan of "Don Quixote" knows, it's a unique, thoughtful album that captures Renly's soul as a singer and as an artist. But it wasn't until tonight that people really understood the inner fragments hidden in the melody and lyrics.

A professional music critic once commented: This is a perfect album, if not 100%, it is infinitely close. Every track, every melody, every lyrics, and even every performance on the album can reveal an artist's persistence and love for creation, dreams, freedom and life.

Now, people finally understand the meaning of these words. Even now, people are finally understanding the album.

The whole album consists of sixteen songs, but each song has different connotations and meanings, but it is coherent, and it builds the concrete image of the dream of Don Quixote. Even now, on the concert floor, everyone has the same idea in their hearts: they need to listen to the album again.

"I think this is the end." Without warning, Renly's voice came from the microphone, and the audience sighed angrily.

It seems that one second, the concert has just started, and they are still complaining about the silence and boredom at the beginning, which is not like the concert they were looking forward to; but the next second, the concert is actually coming to an end? Time flies, and it seems that with just a blink of an eye and a breath, they have come to the end.

But,

Close your eyes, the splendor and splendor of the past two hours are so vivid in my mind, even every detail has not been missed; hoarse to sore throat, tired to sore muscles, wet and dry clothes , and the disheveled hair and the hot head, everything is so real, so clear, and so beautiful.

In a trance, the audience in the stands realized that they had never sat down since the first song and stood all the way. It's a folk concert, not rock, not dance, not pop, not even country. However, they couldn't sit still and couldn't wait to stand up and become a part of Madison Square Garden.

It's the end, it's almost the end, and the realism begins to invade. Screams, shouts, regrets, and calls for "Encore" swarmed from all directions, and the entire garden scene fell once again.

Renly stood quietly in the same place, and the shouts of the audience were in full view. The surging mood slowly and slowly settled down, and he couldn't help chuckling, "I haven't left the stage yet, so I'll call 'Encore' now. , is it too early?" A joke, all the shouts were painted as laughter, and the group laughed.

Renly pursed the corners of his mouth, "There's no encore, so there's no need to call an encore." Renly explained with a smile, "The 'Don Quixote' album has only sixteen songs in total, even if I want an encore. But, I don't have any more songs to sing. As for my creative inventory, it's not time to come out yet."

The self-deprecating ridicule summoned laughter again, with whistles and applause mixed in, it was really lively.

During the conversation, a staff member appeared on the side stage, moved a low stool, quickly came behind Renly, and then quickly left, Renly looked back at the back of the hastily left, "Generally speaking, this It was supposed to be magician moment and I suddenly disappeared and then suddenly appeared and the stage set changed. But, we didn't have enough rehearsal time, so, blah, blah, that's the truth of magic."

The little humor that came at your fingertips, the laughter at the scene couldn't stop at all.

Renly adjusted the height of the microphone stand, then sat down on the low stool, holding the acoustic guitar in his arms, and continued, "There are still two songs left..."

Before the words fell, the audience at the scene began to shout, "Beast! Beast!" There were a lot of sparse shouts, and then they got support from many fans, and they all began to join the calling ranks. .

In tonight's performance, Renly never sang "The Beast". Renly had thought that no one would notice, after all, "The Beast" wasn't the kind of catchy track drowning in sixteen songs; but apparently, he was wrong.

Smiling lightly, pausing for a moment at the corners of his mouth, and then blooming again, Renly explained, "This song is part of the deal, and I'm waiting, waiting for the moment when someone takes the stage and sings 'The Beast.' So, today I won't sing this song tonight."

With a puff, Heather laughed happily. Obviously, the object Renly spoke of was her, waiting for her to sing "The Beast" on the stage of "American Idol", but she has missed the audition this year and can only wait for next year. So, Heather shouted back, "Was that waiting too long?"

In the crowd, Heather's voice was too weak and too vague to pass through the layers of obstacles and reach the stage. But Heather didn't care, but met the eyes of her mother and father, and said firmly, "I will complete this agreement, believe me, I will complete it."

"Tonight, there is no encore, and there is no 'beast'. In order to make up for it and apologize, I will sing a new song, a brand new song." Renly finished his words, and all the noise in the scene instantly Disappearing, the momentary silence, the contrast is so obvious that it makes people palpitate.

Raising his head, Renly could see the eyes full of anticipation and excitement, scorching and frantic, his chest filled with happiness, and it was a little uncomfortable to swell.

He pulled the corners of his mouth to hide his embarrassment, "This song was just completed four days ago, the lyrics were not created by me alone, but on the basis of another creator, I supplemented and re-created. So, this is a very special song, and I hope you can listen to it carefully.”

Four days ago.

The special and sensitive nature of this time point has caused many listeners to have an abnormal taste, and their expectations could not help but rise again. Even Allie and Derek couldn't help looking at Heather, but as the parties, Heather was confused, spread his hands, widened his eyes, and shook his head innocently, expressing that he knew nothing.

The lights in the audience went out again. On the stage, only a spotlight was left, shrouding Renly. The whole world was dark. Only that beam of light guided the direction and became the center of attention again, but Renly did not. Without the slightest nervousness, I started to tune the strings and adjust the microphone position seriously.

The movement is so focused, the expression is so devoted, as if this is the most important thing in the world. The light passed through the thick eyelashes, casting a faint shadow, and the eyes hidden in it were unpredictable, and only a faint light of determination could be captured. Time seems to have stopped at this moment, and instantly condensed into eternity.

So simple, so pure, so simple, one picture and one action, but it brings tears to the eyes.

Starting with a guitar and ending with a guitar, tonight's concert is destined to go down in history.

After the preparations were over, Renly stroked the strings lightly with his fingertips, then paused, raised his head, and searched the crowd.

There was darkness in front of him, a piece of blackness, and it was impossible to identify the specific position, let alone the specific face; the darkness pouring in from all directions bound the cream-colored light beam tightly to the square inch. The location in memory, looked at the past.

Roy said before that Heather Cross was in that corner, less than ten meters from the front left of the stage, and less than five meters from the front left of the central axis. In that small area, accompanied by Ellie and Derek, Heather listened to the entire concert.

Now, through the darkness, through the layers of space, Renly seemed to be able to capture the silhouette of Heather in his field of vision. His eyes paused for a moment. This song, from the page of Heather's notes, was composed on the night four days ago, and came out at a solo concert belonging to Heather. This is a song dedicated to Heather.

Renly was sure that Heather felt his eyes and received his message. Then, he lowered his head and concentrated again, the fingertips of his left hand began to outline the strings, and the clear and bright strings danced lightly, like the thin sunlight in the morning, with a touch of gold, dancing above the verdant light green treetops, Weak but powerful, tearing apart the darkness, breaking through the shackles, surging beautifully, the whole world brightened little by little.

The sky, the earth, the mountains, the oceans, the canyons, the abyss... It's just a faint golden sunlight, but it slowly lights up the entire universe. That's hope, that's faith, that's promise, so small, so grand.

Melody, melodious soaring. Every musical note is dancing on the tip of my heart.
