At 12 o'clock in the evening, many people are already immersed in dreamland.
But for others, their nightlife has just begun.
The previous magic show ended, and Sister Na stepped onto the stage.
The performance stage of Wangyoucao Bar is not big, she can't count how many times she has sung on it, even with her eyes closed, she can still stand in an extremely familiar position.
However, tonight, Sister Na was extraordinarily excited and excited, just like how she felt when she went on a date with a boy for the first time. Even if the result may not be wonderful, the process is undoubtedly worth remembering.
Facing more than 200 customers who knew or didn't know in the bar, she tightly held the microphone in her hand.
For this first singing, Sister Na made a lot of preparations and rehearsed time and time again with the Wandering Band.
Although Daqin was very supportive and didn't mind, she really felt that she couldn't let her friend down.
Therefore, she will never allow herself to fail!
Behind Sister Na, Qin Hanyang led the Wandering Band to the stage.
They will also accompany Sister Na's performance.
Finally, Lu Chen.
Before rushing to Wangyoucao, Lu Chen never expected that Qin Hanyang actually reserved a place for himself when arranging the music. The guitar accompaniment of the two bars is very simple and light, but the meaning is completely different.
It's a surprise little easter egg!
Snapped! Snapped! snap~
Before Sister Na started singing, warm applause rang out in the bar first.
Among the people who came to the Wangyoucao Bar tonight, many were old customers who knew and were familiar with Sister Na, and many were her friends in the circle. Everyone already knew that she was going to sing a new song for the first time.
"Sister Na, come on!"
Enthusiastic shouts and loud whistles followed, easily pushing the atmosphere to a climax.
It also made Sister Na's eyes a little more crystal clear.
She is an old Jianghu who has gone through great storms, and her life has ups and downs, so she would not be easily moved by something!
"Thank you, really thank you all!"
Sister Na took a deep breath, then raised the microphone and said, "I'm very glad that so many friends came to join us tonight. I'm really happy and happy. Thank you for bringing this song to everyone first!"
"Thank You" is a light rock song that was a smash hit in China in the early 1990s. The melody is passionate and full of enthusiasm and vitality, and the lyrics are positive and sunny, containing the power of hard work.
The classic charm will not fade easily with time, but will become more mellow and touching. This song has been sung countless times so far, and it can often be heard in Houhai bars, with various versions.
Lu Chen also played and sang "Thank You" here.
And Sister Na's singing style is completely different from his. With the accompaniment of the wandering band, she fully excavated the inner spirit of this song, and sang a true rock flavor with her unique voice.
"Thank you for being with me every minute in my life, giving me sunshine and strength!"
"Thank you for your support without complaint or regret, let me get rid of the darkness, and let me no longer be cowardly!"
"Thank you!"
At the end of the song, the audience applauded thunderously!
Although it was a warm-up song, Sister Na performed very well, her skills and emotions were very good, showing her profound skills and experience, worthy of her status as the eldest sister among the singers in Wangyoucao Bar.
Many of the customers present are knowledgeable about music, and naturally they will not be stingy with applause when listening to enjoyment.
"thanks!"
After singing "Thank You", Sister Na bowed to thank everyone.
After the applause subsided, she continued: "The second song I will sing next, I believe many people already know it, it will be a new song, a new song that I have prepared for a long time!"
"And this song was written especially for me by our little musical talent, Lu Chen!"
Sister Na turned around and looked at Lu Chen who was sitting with the Wandering Band, with a trace of gratitude in her eyes.
Little Music Talent has just been circulated in Houhai circles, and it belongs to Lu Chen's new nickname.
Houhai's circle is not big, so any news often spreads quickly. The two original works he sang at the music carnival night were sold at an astonishingly high price, and it has long been spread in the circle.
In addition, Lu Chen has been singing "You at the Same Table" and "Cinderella" in Wangyoucao, this nickname is worthy of the name.
Sister Na added: "To be precise, it should be our handsome young man!"
"Xiao Lu is handsome and talented!"
Applause and laughter sounded at the same time, Lu Chen stood up embarrassedly holding the guitar, and waved to everyone.
Stop molesting handsome guys, I'm not the protagonist of the night!
The next moment, the prelude sounded quietly.
The beam of the stage spotlight hit Sister Na, making her the focus of attention of the audience.
"The name of the song is, I want to have a home."
Facing the audience, she withdrew her smile, half-closed her eyes and quietly listened to the prelude that just started.
Then very naturally, she opened her mouth and sang the song she had practiced countless times.
"I want to have a home,
A place that doesn't need to be flashy.
when i'm tired,
I will think about it.
I want to have a home,
A place that doesn't need much,
when i was frightened,
I will not be afraid.
…”
The beautiful and moving melody, the straightforward and realistic lyrics coupled with the appropriate arrangement and accompaniment, under the perfect interpretation of Sister Na's unique voice, it seems to flow in everyone's heart like running water, touching the soul!
"...
Who wouldn't want a home,
But there are people who don't have it.
With tears streaming down my face,
You can only wipe it lightly.
I envy him so much,
Can go home after injury,
And I can only be alone,
Alone looking for my home.
…”
Tears welled up in Sister Na's eyes again, and she closed her eyes, afraid of shedding tears.
Happy families are always alike. Unhappy families each have their own misfortunes. Sister Na’s family is undoubtedly one of the most unfortunate. She wandered away from home when she was young and has never returned home for more than 20 years. .
Because that home is long gone, belonging to a distant memory that wants to be forgotten.
But deep down in her heart, why doesn't she yearn for a real home of her own!
Tears still flowed down uncontrollably, but the accompaniment and singing became high-spirited and violent!
"...
Although I never had a warm home,
But I also grew up gradually,
As long as my heart is filled with love,
will be cared for,
Can't blame anyone,
Everything can only depend on oneself.
Though you have a home and want nothing,
Why can't I see your smiling face,
always say there is no love,
don't go home all day,
the same age,
different minds,
Let me own a home!
…”
While singing loudly and venting her emotions, Sister Na tried hard not to look at someone sitting in the audience at this moment, because she was afraid that her eyes would reveal her heart, and she was afraid of the pain of rejection.
She has been rejected too many times.
Under her strong and optimistic appearance, there is a fragile and sensitive heart hidden.
After the first singing, the applause sounded again, neat and enthusiastic.
Many people stood up and applauded vigorously, some even had tears in their eyes.
Like Sister Na, they all have been wandering in the capital for many years. Although some of them have achieved careers, some have an annual salary of hundreds of thousands, can afford to live in apartments and hotels, and can also afford car mortgages.
But they used to live in the basement, they used to be crowded in the subway, they used to rely on instant noodles to survive day after day, they used to face countless difficulties and setbacks, and they were as numb as walking dead in the increasingly heavy work and entertainment.
At that time, even now, they all longed to have a warm home, a considerate and kind husband or a gentle and beautiful wife, and an obedient and sensible child, so that they could go out happily as a family on weekends play.
No matter what you experience outside, home will always be a haven of tranquility and a sanctuary for healing!
This song "I Want to Have a Home" sang the voices of everyone, and it aroused a resonance from the soul. They empathized with each other, and they couldn't help it!
"I want a home, a place that doesn't need to be gorgeous!"
Lu Chen sat on the piano bench, hugged the guitar and looked at Sister Na on the stage, but his thoughts flew thousands of miles away.
At this moment, he misses his home very much!
