Many of the singers and bands that participated in the 72H Grass Music Festival had the desire to achieve their dreams. They stood on this stage that advocated freedom and tolerance and did their best to show their talent and energy to the audience.
Because among the tens of thousands of audience, there was no lack of representatives from entertainment agencies. Once they were selected by a powerful company, it was possible for them to soar into the sky and step into the glittering mainstream circle.
It was the efforts of these singers and bands that made 72H have always been full of vitality and become a very influential event in the domestic pop music industry.
But not all singers came to be famous. For example, Liao Jia.
Although 72H's stage was very big, it was able to invite him to the stage without paying any price because Liao Jia had deep feelings for this music festival.
Feelings were priceless.
As for Lu Chen, the reason why Lu Chen appeared on 72H's stage was to fulfill his wish.
So he didn't have any pressure. He sang because he wanted to.
This song, "Free Like the Wind," sang his unruly and carefree nature. It was his understanding of his own life.
Perhaps "Free Like the Wind" wasn't as classic as "In The Spring," "Blue Lotus," and "Chasing Dreams with a Pure Heart," but it was precisely because of Lu Chen's carefreeness that he performed this song almost perfectly.
He hugged his guitar and faced the tens of thousands of audience members. He sang in the wind and roared to his heart's content.
"Endless drifting, the desire for freedom. Bear all the vicissitudes alone. I give you gentleness, but you refuse to accept it …"
"I'm free like the wind!"
The simple lyrics and melody were repeated twice, each time with a different feeling.
And now, the audience very naturally and comfortably accepted this song. It wasn't heavy, extreme, or angry, but it sang to the bottom of people's hearts and sang the feelings of youth.
Who didn't have a youth?
"I'm free like the wind, just like your gentleness that can't be held back …"
When Lu Chen sang the same passage for the third time, there were already many audience members singing along with the synchronized lyrics displayed on the big screen on the stage: "I'm free like the wind!"
There was no distinction between the stage and the audience. The atmosphere of the music festival was pushed to a new climax.
This was the live resonance that many singers who participated in 72H dreamed of!
Lu Chen had done it easily and casually.
In the backstage area, Liao Jia, who heard the climax of the chorus, waved his fist and applauded hard.
This little brother of his was not just for show!
He was going to lose tonight's bet.
On the other hand, Shi Gang, who was standing beside the stage, had a bitter smile on his face.
He had spent ten years sharpening his sword to come up with a work that he had poured his blood, sweat, and tears into, hoping to amaze the world with a single brilliant feat. However, whether it was "City of Loneliness" or "Wound", they paled in comparison to Lu Chen's song.
Shi Gang wasn't deluded enough to think that his work wasn't worse than Lu Chen's.
Lining up before Lu Chen was such a mistake!
After Lu Chen's first work "Free as the Wind" was sung, the whole audience applauded, mixed with sharp whistles.
Even those fans who still had prejudices against him had to admit that this was a very good work. It didn't meet the requirements of a classic, but on today's stage, it was absolutely outstanding!
Coming up with such a work also proved Lu Chen's sincerity.
To put it bluntly, a singer and songwriter like him could sell hundreds of thousands of yuan with a casual song.
And there was no remuneration for 72H's performance, whether it was a big shot in the circle or an unknown singer.
"Thank you, everyone!"
Lu Chen bowed to the audience, then turned to the members of the Nirvana band behind him and said, "Thank you, Nirvana band!"
Wang Jing waved her left hand at him, and Chen Zhiyong raised the drum stick in his hand and made a fancy gesture in response.
The four young members of the Nirvana band were very excited. It was their first time to participate in 72H's performance. Performing in front of such a large audience, they all went all out just now.
Although the current Nirvana band is far from being compared with those veteran bands, and their skills and perception of music are not deep enough, it is precisely because they are young that they have unlimited growth potential.
Lu Chen continued, "The second song is also a new song, and it's also the first time I've performed it in public …"
Hearing Lu Chen's words, many audiences became excited.
Originally, many people thought that Lu Chen would bring a new work and an old song to everyone in the evening, just like Liao Jia, but they didn't expect him to come up with two new works. It was really an unexpected surprise.
Generally speaking, if a singer of 72H comes up with two works, the second one is often stronger than the first one!
"The name of this song is …"
Free as a Dream!
When the name of the song appeared on the big screen on the stage, countless audiences couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.
At first, they thought they saw it wrong or the backstage computer control display was wrong, but when they took a closer look, they found that it was really called "Free as a Dream", which was only one word different from Lu Chen's first song.
What kind of joke was this?
For a time, there was a lot of discussion under the stage, and everyone didn't understand what Lu Chen was selling.
Two songs, only one word different?
Lu Chen didn't explain and made a gesture to the Nirvana band.
The prelude sounded.
"Will you still miss me,
My dearest friend,
When I decide to let go of everything,
Go up the road to freedom.
Will you still be with me,
My most missed family,
Have said goodbye to yesterday,
Driving to the road to the future.
… … "
The first part was mainly accompanied by guitar, and the inquiring lyrics with a trace of sadness and melancholy, which were sung by Lu Chen, unfolded to the people a picture of parting.
But then the unfolding chorus entered the climax, and the melody suddenly became passionate and enthusiastic.
"… …
I want to be free as a dream,
Strong as the sky,
On this winding road,
Experience the meaning of life!
… … "
As Lu Chen raised the scale, the theme of the work was suddenly sublimated, majestic and full of the brave attitude of pursuing freedom.
The audience at the scene had a feeling of being hit in the heart in an instant, and at the same time, it inspired everyone's yearning for freedom and the pursuit and desire of a better life.
Because the road has a boundless heart, temporarily put down the busy and hurried life, to experience the pleasure of galloping freely in the wilderness, to untie the heavy shackles of the mind, and to find the true self.
Life needs to be settled. Occasionally emptying yourself, maybe you can find a more reasonable explanation? Who knows, we are still on the road, let that free heart be willfully exiled …
The realization that this song brings to people is far more than that.
"… …
Will you still be with me,
My most missed family,
Have said goodbye to yesterday,
Driving to the road to the future.
I want to be free as a dream,
Tolerant as the earth,
On this difficult road of exile,
Light up the light of life! "
Freedom, spontaneity, pioneer, creation … This is the theme of the 72H Grass Music Festival, and the spirit of freedom has always run through the rise and decline of national rock. These two works created by Lu Chen in the name of freedom have undoubtedly touched the deepest and truest feelings of the fans and singers at the scene.
Whether it is "Free as the Wind" or "Free as a Dream," they are not the kind of rock works in the pure sense, but the spirit of freedom contained in these two songs is beyond the reach of many pure rock songs.
This has made many people reflect on whether the so-called rebellious, extreme, and even anti-social rock spirit they have been pursuing is precisely one of the important reasons for the decline of national rock?
Rock songs can also be free, progressive, and sunny!
Perhaps this is the reason why Lu Chen brought these two works to 72H. Thinking of his other works such as "In The Spring" and "Blue Lotus", many singers fell into deep thought.
At this moment, all the light gathered on Lu Chen's body.
He is like the wind, like a dream, free and unruly!
Lost!
Liao Jia, who was in the backstage area, laughed and turned to the singers present and said, "Tomorrow night, come to the Di Hao Hotel. I'll treat everyone to a drink!"
Brother Liao naturally kept his word. He couldn't do anything shameless. If he lost to Lu Chen, he had to treat.
He was willing.
Next to the stage, Shi Gang shook his head helplessly – there is no comparison, there is really no comparison!
He is convinced.
After singing the second song "Free as a Dream," Lu Chen took a step back and then bowed deeply.
Fine beads of sweat seeped out of his forehead, glimmering under the illumination of the light.
His eyes were bright and full of spirit.
Applause, warm, sincere, and enthusiastic applause, like a spring thunder, and then endless, set off an invisible storm at the scene of Wild Mountain Park.
"Free as the Wind," "Free as a Dream," Lu Chen proved his strength with these two "freedom" songs and conquered tens of thousands of fans at the scene!
The applause he received was well-deserved.
"Good!"
"Sing one more song!"
Many fans shouted loudly and waved their arms with all their might, trying to attract the attention of Lu Chen on the stage.
"Go!"
Someone roared, and then others seemed to wake up from a dream and followed suit, shouting, "Go!"
"Go!" "Go!" "Go!"
All the voices converged into one voice, which was the voice that urged Lu Chen to stay and begged him to return to the stage!
Lu Chen stopped and bowed again, "Thank you!"
It was not the first time he had felt the enthusiasm of fans, nor was it the first time he had enjoyed the cheers from fans, nor was it the first time he had been asked to stay by fans.
However, here, at the scene, with tens of thousands of fans on the scene, it was so different.
They were true fans of pop music. The things they stuck to and persisted in might not be understood by others, but their love was so sincere!
To be able to get their recognition, love, and pursuit was a real glory!
