"Well you only need the light when it's burning Low"
“Only miss the sun when it starts to snow”
“Only know you love her when you let her go”
"Only know you've been high when you're feeling Low"
"..."
When Lu Chen plucked the guitar strings and began to sing the song, the studio was extremely quiet.
The audience at the scene, including the staff of the TV station and the host Irene, were very curious about which song Lu Chen would choose to pay tribute to Evans Joyce, the greatest American folk singer.
Is it "The Way Home"? Is it "To the Distance"? Or "Wildflowers That Never Fade"
These songs are the most classic masterpieces of Evans Joyce.
However, no one expected that what Lu Chen played and sang was a song they had never heard before!
"Only think of the light when it is dim..."
"Only when it's freezing and snowing do I miss the warmth of the sun..."
"You only know it's true love when you've let it go..."
"Only when you are in a trough do you think about the past..."
Listening to this charming folk song, the listener seems to be in a bar in the country, chatting with strangers about the girl he once loved and the past that has passed away, and suddenly finds that there are people in the world who share the same illness as himself, that kind of sadness It flooded my heart like a tide.
Until the wine glass was empty, they stared at each other drunkenly, everything was said without saying anything!
Lu Chen's interpretation of this song is soft and soothing, with a calm feeling after letting go, he used a very special and delicate singing method, and sang the theme of the work that love can't be recalled and ordinary life is the most precious.
The beautiful melody of the song contains a touch of melancholy and sadness, and has a moving appeal. No matter whether the audience has experienced the beauty of feelings, they will be deeply moved.
At least the audience present were moved!
Some people were amazed softly, some were contemplating, some were in disbelief, some had red eyes...
“Only know you love her when you let her go”
"And you let her go"
It wasn't until Lu Chen sang the last line and put down the guitar in his arms. After a long time, the people seemed to wake up from a dream, and the applause erupted violently in the studio!
Irene was the first to stand up and applaud Lu Chen, and everyone followed suit.
"thanks!"
Lu Chen got up and bowed to express his thanks.
The applause lasted for a full two minutes before subsiding. With so many episodes of "Irene's Talk Show", such scenes are absolutely rare.
Erin bit her lips tightly, and there was a crystal light flashing in her eyes.
She seemed to have exhausted all her strength to calm herself down, and asked Lu Chen, "Dawn, can you tell me the name of this song?"
Lu Chen said: "This song is called Let Her Go"
“Let Her Go…”
Eileen repeated the title of the song to herself, and then asked, "I've never heard this song, is it from your original work?"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "It comes from the memory in my dream."
Irene nodded. She opened her arms and gave Lu Chen a big hug. She said emotionally, "Did you know? I am Evans' most loyal fan, and he is also my best friend!"
"The biggest regret in my life is not being able to be by his side when he passed away."
"Thank you for this song, thank you for making me not forget him!"
Lu Chen really didn't know that Irene and Joyce had a sincere friendship, but he could fully understand Irene's mood at this moment: "I also thank you for giving me the opportunity to sing this song."
The applause sounded again!
