“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 strummed the guitar strings and began to sing this song, the studio was very quiet.
The audience, 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 folk singer in the United States.
Would it be "The Way Home"? Would it be "Towards the Distance"? Or "Wildflowers that Never Wither"?
These songs were the most classic works of Evans Joyce.
However, no one expected that Lu Chen would play and sing a song that they had never heard before!
"Only when it's hazy and dim do I think of the light …"
"Only when it's snowing do I miss the warmth of the sun …"
"Only when I've let go do I know that it's true love …"
"Only when I'm at the bottom do I think of the past …"
Listening to this charming folk song, the listener felt as if they were in a village bar, chatting with strangers about the girl they once loved and the past that had passed away. They suddenly found that there were people in the world who were in the same boat as themselves. That kind of sadness surged in their hearts like a tide.
Until the glass was empty, they looked at each other drunkenly, and everything was in silence!
Lu Chen's interpretation of this song was soft and soothing, with the calm feelings after letting go. He used a very special and delicate singing method to sing the theme of the work that love could not be recalled and ordinary life was the most precious.
The melody of the song was beautiful with a touch of melancholy and sadness, with a touching appeal. Whether the audience had experienced the beauty of love or not, they would be deeply moved.
At least, the audience present was moved!
Some people were exclaiming softly, some people were thinking, some people couldn't believe it, and some people's eyes were red …
“Only know you love her when you let her go”
“And you let her go”
Until Lu Chen finished singing the last sentence and put down the guitar in his arms, after a long time, people seemed to wake up from a dream, and the applause in the studio burst out fiercely!
Eirinn was the first to stand up and applaud Lu Chen. Everyone followed suit.
"Thank you!"
Lu Chen stood up and bowed again to express his gratitude.
The applause lasted for two minutes before it subsided. In the many episodes of "Irene's Talk Show", such a scene was extremely rare.
Irene bit her lips, her eyes flashing with a sparkling light.
She used 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 …"
Eirinn repeated the name of the song to herself and asked, "I've never heard this song before. Is it your original?"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "It came from the memory of my dream."
Eirinn nodded, she opened her arms and gave Lu Chen a Big hug, and said emotionally, "Do you know? I'm Evans' most loyal fan, and he's my best friend!
"The biggest regret in my life is that I couldn't be by his side when he passed away.
"Thank you for this song, thank you for not forgetting him!"
Lu Chen really didn't know that Eirinn and Joyce had a sincere friendship, but he could completely understand Eirinn's feelings at this moment, "I also thank you for giving me the opportunity to sing this song."
Applause sounded again!
…
On the evening of the 20th, New York TV aired the latest episode of "Irene's Talk Show" as scheduled.
Because New York TV had given an advance notice, everyone knew that the guest of this episode of "Irene's Talk Show" was the hero who saved flight UD725, Lu Chen. Therefore, other than Eirinn's loyal audience, countless people sat in front of their TVs to watch that night's program.
Then it caused a huge reaction!
For most adult Americans, Evans Joyce and his ballads were undoubtedly an indelible memory in their lives, accompanying them through countless lonely nights.
Many people had the experience of driving on the long interstate highway and listening to Evans's songs on the radio, other than rock music.
Evans Joyce had many more fans in the United States than Eirinn!
This year was the tenth anniversary of Evans's death, so Lu Chen's tribute to him, "Let Her Go," naturally had a special meaning.
Most importantly, the style of "Let Her Go" had a lot of similarities to Evans's, so much so that some people on Tbook suspected that Lu Chen had obtained a piece of work that Evans had never published before!
Of course, such speculation was ridiculous, and normal people would not believe it. But Lu Chen's performance of "Let Her Go" spread on social networks in the United States at the speed of light and quickly made it onto the Tbook list.
Then Evans Joyce's family expressed their gratitude to Lu Chen on Tbook!
Evans Joyce's life was full of ups and downs. He lost his father when he was very young, and his mother was locked up in the disciplinary center for drug abuse and theft. He grew up in a foster home, and he had a sister who was separated from him at a young age.
He had three well-known relationships, but none of them were able to come to fruition. This was very deeply reflected in his songs, and it was also a painful memory in his life.
The greatest folk singer in the history of the United States was unable to overcome himself and died of drug abuse.
And Lu Chen's song "Let Her Go" undoubtedly awakened the fans' memories of Evans Joyce, as well as the sad and melancholy songs.
In the latest episode of "Irene's Talk Show", the scene of Irene holding Lu Chen with tears in her eyes after listening to this song also deeply touched the fans.
Many singers in the American pop music industry have published articles in memory of Evans Joyce on their respective Tbooks, and at the same time expressed their love for "Let Her Go."
Without any recommendation, "Let Her Go" reached number three on the radio airplay chart on the 22nd, and the first to seventh place were all classic songs by Evans Joyce.
As a result, hundreds of TV stations, newspapers, and magazines sent invitations to Lu Chen for programs and interviews. Another Evans Joyce fan organization hoped that Lu Chen could attend the memorial event to be held in November.
In addition, several Hollywood film companies and record companies have contacted Chenfei Media.
However, Lu Chen had no time to care about these disturbances. He stayed in New York for five days. After participating in the last business negotiation, he flew to Los Angeles with Chen Fei'er.

Note: "Let Her Go" lyricist/composer: Passenger, an English song that I like very much.
