Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 525 Who is Whose Hometown
For Bian Lang, the word "lang" is destined to be a mark that will accompany him throughout his life.

Although many fans have labeled Bian Lang a "prodigal son", this is the first time he has sung this term in his own music.

As soon as the second half of the lyrics came out, Mu Mian burst into swearing: "Oh my prodigal boss, you are so good at it, I'm afraid Sister Youbian will never be able to escape in this life!"

Basically all the ladies present had the same idea:

"Bian Lang's choice of words is simply too much. The word 'woman' has much more weight than the 'girl' in folk song lyrics!"

"A woman who is a prodigal son in the vast sea of ​​people, this lyric can only be written by Bian Lang!"

"If we wait until the full version comes out, then it will definitely..."

So during this period of time, Dong Youbian had to bear countless sour feelings.

At this moment, her cheeks were already redder than the sunset!

But it was not because of the eyes cast at her, but because of the person singing on the stage!

At this moment, Bian Lang is not as dazzling as he is on the official performance stage, but under the sunset glow, he has a unique visual charm of high saturation and shadows brought out by natural light and shadow.

It seems that this is the best interpretation of the image of a lone wanderer...

And it's not just about the image. As someone who sleeps beside Bian Lang, she can clearly feel that some things come from Bian Lang's bones, just like his next verse: "On every cold night on the road in a foreign land, this longing hurts me like a knife..."

Although the original song is an emotional interpretation of his wife, when Bian Lang sings this song now, it is entirely due to his longing for his original homeland on Earth that he can sing it so mesmerizingly.

Although Bian Lang has adapted to his new life on the Blue Water Planet, it is still a foreign land for him! Moreover, it is a foreign land where he is destined to never meet fellow countrymen and can only move forward alone.

Just like many people from the original Earth who have heard this song, no matter how long they have stayed in a foreign land or how familiar they are with it, they will eventually feel: "What kind of place is this? It is still so desolate..."

Under the interpretation of Xu Shaonan's voice that seems to never age, many people living outside dare not easily listen to the song "Hometown", but they will cry every time they listen to it.

Especially when they hear the description "missing someone is like a knife", they will empathize with the person and use their thoughts to form a knife to cut their own hearts one by one.

However, this knife is still stabbing deeper and deeper!
"Always in my dreams, I see your helpless eyes, and my heart is awakened again... I stand here, thinking of the scene when I said goodbye to you...

You stand so lonely in the crowd, that is your broken heart, but my heart is so wild..."

When this very specific scene was sung by Bian Lang, it instantly pulled people into the picture constructed by memories.

Among the people present, except for the little brats like Chen Wenjuan, who hasn't experienced such a scene in their life?

The only difference is that the lonely figure in the crowd coming to see you off may be a parent or relative, or a lover or friend.

It may happen when you travel far away for the first time to study in a foreign land, or it may happen when you go to a foreign land to fight for your ideals.

The most fatal point is that many people, under the influence of the wild mood at that time, completely ignored the broken heart in the crowd.

Now that they were enlightened by Bian Lang's lyrics, everyone looked at the person next to them at the same time.

Pan Jianhu recalled that when he left Magic Disc and headed southwest with his ideals, Mrs. Hu from the next table never saw him off.

And every time he would say confidently: "I'll pick you up when you come back. I always feel uncomfortable with this phrase..."

At that time, Lao Pan felt a little uncomfortable. Although he didn't say anything, he was somewhat unhappy in his heart.

But at this moment he realized how cruel it would be to let Sister Hu feel the broken heart alone in the crowd.

Because when he recalled it, every time he left, he was full of fighting spirit, but when he returned to BJ, he was exhausted by reality.

And Mrs. Hu's words, "I'm glad you're back!" sounded very ordinary at the time, but when he thinks about it now, Pan Jianhu feels that the emotions contained in these four simple words seem so turbulent.

The emotion was so overwhelming that he even felt that his actions at the time were a bit selfish.

But Mrs. Tiger never said a word from beginning to end, she just supported him silently behind the scenes.

Looking at her holding the camera but hesitating to press the shutter, Pan Jianhu feels that she should slowly find a balance between her life and her musical ideals.

What's even more terrible is that many of the musicians present at the event, when they traveled southwest to join the Rolling Stones, were not among the farewell crowd, the lonely fareweller.

Maybe in the minds of the older generation, rock music is not really a good career.

Like Magpie's parents, they have no particular prejudice against rock music, but they are worried about the future of their sons and daughters.

However, with the rise of the Rolling Stones, the public's perception of Rolling Stone music and even rock music as a whole has changed greatly.

The most obvious thing is the increase in income and fame!
According to what Liangzi is thinking now, by the time of next year's annual meeting, perhaps he will be able to convince his parents to come over, and then buy a house and live in Chuncheng.

Since this song was appearing for the first time, the two guitarists did not dare to play the lead or chords too freely during the interlude, for fear that Bian Lang would ruin the classic nature of this premiere.

Moreover, the chord progression of this song is not really very common, and they were not as adept at using it as other mainstream chords during the improvisation process!
At the same time, this is also the fundamental reason why I can judge that this song is of the same origin as "Blue Lotus".

这是因为许少年歌的和弦走向很神奇，大部分流行音乐古典音乐都是从1（135）4（461）6（613）和弦开始的，偶尔会有2（246）。

But many of his songs start with 5 (572), such as this one "Hometown"...

It can be said that many universal chords listed by various music experts on the original Earth do not have this one, which is very rare and rare. Bian Lang just improvised. He did not perform the most classic prelude of this song. The interlude was just a regular 16-bar sweep, and then he started singing the next verse: "You will always be my hometown in my heart. You always wait for me alone in silence..."

As soon as this line of lyrics came out, the other halves of most musicians began to think about how to conceal their emotions that they could no longer conceal.

Moreover, they were even more certain in their hearts that this song was deliberately arranged by Bian Lang.

I just wanted to use this song at this annual meeting to help these musicians who are usually not willing to communicate authentically, to express their true thoughts over the years.

Or you can give these musicians some advice, allowing them to pull themselves away from their rich yet barren spiritual world for a while and take a good look at their significant other.

Especially the wives and girlfriends of male musicians, they now have a very firm idea, that is, no matter how things change in the future, as long as their men are still in the rock circle, they must stay in the Rolling Stones and follow the band.

They feel that only under the leadership of such an emotionally delicate leader can their significant other truly find what they want in this industry while also being able to balance family and making money!
Yong's wife was the first to speak out. She whispered to Zili who was sitting next to her, "Xiaoli, let me tell you, our Dayong just didn't have a good brother like Bian Lang before. His bands in the past were full of troubles all the time, so Dayong didn't have the energy to take family matters seriously at that time.

Since joining the Rolling Stones, although his schedule and performances have increased, he always smiles when he comes home, and he takes the initiative to care about me and my son more often. So you have to tell Hua Yan to seize the moment. He must be very lucky to be able to join the Rolling Stones at such a young age!"

Of course Zili thought so too!

Before she fell in love with Hua Yan, her addiction to rock music came from the fact that after being abused by Party A, she always needed to find some way to vent her emotions in it so that she could continue to work overtime on the drawing late at night.

But after falling in love with Hua Yan, she broadened her horizons and discovered that rock music, as a medium of music, can sometimes be as gentle as spring!
For example, this song right now!

Moreover, she had attended the Umai Napa Music Festival, so she could be said to have seen with her own eyes how Bian Lang and Dong Youbian got involved with each other.

Therefore, his understanding of the emotional delicacy of Bian Lang is somewhat different from that of others.

If you say that rock musicians are generally full of anger, that's true, but if they become gentle, no one else can do anything about it.

For example, the killer expression in the lyrics of "Bian Lang" comparing women to hometowns instantly kills all the love songs in the current music market that are full of love and kisses.

Moreover, this kind of metaphor, which does not need to be pointed out explicitly, is the expression that truly conforms to Chinese culture.

The word "love" is never mentioned, but the thickness of the emotions between the lines may be a little too light to be described by the word "brushed".

In her opinion, Bian Lang's song may have another meaning, that is, one can regard his hometown as his own woman...

The first person to shed tears was Chen Shuting.

While wiping her tears, she stared at Lao Mo.

Maybe in the story she put herself in, Lao Mo was her hometown. Just like what Lao Mo said to her when she was depressed: "Don't worry, the money I earn can ensure that you two won't go hungry!"

She never doubted Bian Lang's creative talent, nor did she ever think about where the ceiling of Bian Lang's creation would be. Especially when it came to knifemen, she absolutely believed in Bian Lang's professionalism.

Because Lao Mo, who was looking at her, now had red eyes.

Lao Mo believes that Chen Shuting deserves the two extremely heavy words "hometown" just because she has never made him give up painting over the years.

Mrs. Tiger put down the camera in her hand and said to Ou Feina who was still filming, "Stop filming. There are so many photographers tonight and they don't need two of us. Just listen to the music. We, the family members, are also the protagonists tonight!"

Although Ou Feina is a foreigner, after living in China for many years, she can empathize with the emotional ties between the Chinese people, which are clearly different from those in Europe and the United States.

She nodded and put down the camera, just like when she first saw Toli, she looked at the man on the stage with a fascinated look on her face who also gave her a sense of "hometown".

"Every cold night on the road in a foreign land, this longing hurts me like a knife..."

When he sang this part, the lights on the stage had begun to take over the decoration of the sunset, illuminating Bian Lang's face. Under the strong light of the stage, Bian Lang squinted his eyes, strummed the strings with a very mysterious rhythm, and continued to sing: "I always see your helpless eyes in my dreams, and my heart is awakened again. I stand here, thinking of the scene when I said goodbye to you..."

That eloquent voice gave people a very strange feeling of despair!
And the next sentence makes you hear a very romantic contradiction in despair: "You stand in the crowd, so lonely, that is your broken heart, but my heart is so wild..."

After another repetitive chorus, the song's killer hook finally appeared: "I always see myself walking on the road home in my dreams, and you standing under the sunset, with a beautiful face..."

Looking in the direction of Bian Lang's squinting eyes, Dong Youbian, who had already stood up, was indeed bathed in the boundless sunset. The two basic colors of blue and dark red decorated the sky and sea of ​​Fuxian Lake into a canvas.

However, the silhouette of Dong Youbian, whose face could not be seen clearly but only the outline, became the most beautiful scenery in Bian Lang's eyes.

And at this moment, Bian Lang let go of the guitar after a tactical air shot.

After all the musicians finished their emergency brakes, he took off his microphone, stood at the edge of the stage and sat down directly.

He suddenly felt that he had realized another understanding of the song, that is, hometown is where there are people he cares about.

Maybe she is so far away that he will never have the chance to meet her again in this life.

Or it may be very close, so close that she can fall into the arms of her hometown with just a light leap.

I guess Xu Shaonian himself could not have imagined that his song would be interpreted in a different meaning by Bian Lang in another world far away.

Of course, it was this experience that was unique to Bian Lang, which gave him a hometown that he could never return to, and which led to the idea that a hometown is defined by the person.

Whether it is Dong Youbian or Luo Suping, as well as this group of friends and brothers, they are Bian Lang’s current hometown!
Then, while looking at Dong Youbian, Bian Lang sang slowly and firmly:

"That's your dress fluttering, that's you being as gentle as water..."
