Maybe it's like the young writer Lu Si Hao said, why would you like a distant person, because he glows ah.
You guys, you are the existence of such light, burning and warm, bravely wrapped in love.
Because you are a band, so remove the character and personality of all kinds of internal, the most attractive to me is still your attitude towards music, so sincere and serious, so fervent and moved. The six of you are noisy and noisy, from the youthful student age into the mature and steady middle-aged generation, the surrounding is changing, you are also changing. What has changed is not the original intention of the music, and you have not intentionally created commercialized songs to meet the trend, even though in the process, some people criticized and questioned why some songs are no longer as awkward and obscure as they were when they were nothing, the meaning of the lyrics have become shallow, the melody has become catchy, and certain songs have become the taste of the streets. But what's the harm in that, I know it's still you guys, it's been thirteen years, people will always grow up and change, just like the lead singer said in an interview that he would feel ashamed to see the lyrics of "Small Universe" nowadays, how he was young and impetuous at that time, and wrote all the youthful anger in such a frank and direct way. Now you must not be able to write such lyrics, in our audience to listen to feel particularly cool appeal and confrontation.
Last year, because of the hiatus, you brought to the stage a plan that had been "premeditated" for a long time. It wasn't a new journey to begin with, it was an ending point, and it just so happened that at the first stop of the journey, on the small stage at the Ocean Music Festival, you met Mr. Weizhe, a man who was a great help to you, and a full stop became a starting point, and the unfinished journey you are now, thirteen years later, starting all over again.
You came back to the Ocean Music Festival to perform on the small stage with the band's semi-character name, Fish Dingito, and then on the big stage that night. Across the screen, looking at the stage happy you guys, smiling as twelve years ago, although the years left traces in your face, when listening to your songs of the little kid has grown into a big girl and young man, the time for us to carve down the traces of the years, but did not take away the most collectible memories, so when all the familiar melody in the instrumentation of the slow flow out of the sea, I seem to see a gentle and crazy sea, the azure mirror, shaking the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea, the sea. A mirror of blue, shaking, crumbling - the tears could not be stopped in a moment, clattering.
Starting from Taipei National Chengchi University's Siwei Hall to Tainan National Chengchi University's Shengcheng Hall, 28 performances in two months, you guys prepared 233 songs and sang ten albums, accompanying us from the beginning to the end. Because we saw the thirsty eyes of our friends inside the wall, you accompanied us for two months from Beijing, passing through Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Shanghai, and finally bouncing around Wuhan to sing the last song. I will always remember the late-night crowds in Wuhan, the songs that were sung in unison after the show broke up, as if we had said more words, but still could not avoid the final goodbye, and time gave us the answer. I ran into the subway that day, exhausted and out of breath, my mind has been circulating the image of "100 years of solitude", the lights are so brilliant, but the people are so lonely. I ran all the way, as if not to catch the last subway, but to be able to leave the sadness of parting behind, as if the faster I ran, the farther I ran, the more it could not catch up with me. Maybe after sobering up, you'll still laugh and say good night. I must still be so drunk in my dreams that I cried and shouted at the top of my lungs when the last farewell was staged in Liberty Square. I think after the goodbye, I must not have had the opportunity to properly express my fondness for you guys, I am afraid of this kind of loss, because I did not cherish to have.
I miss 14 and 15 years, that will be your concert opened very often, a city a or two. I used to be capricious, because the mood is not good to go to buy your concert tickets, three hours later, all the troubles behind the head, and then full of blood resurrection. My friend laughed at me and said is your show really that amazing? Is not there a lot of entertainment talk and laughter or a playful performance. I shook my head, but if yellow jokes and molesting guitarists count, then I can only nod my head.
Your performance was purely about singing. I don't know what's in your mind when you're singing, what's in the musicians' minds when they're playing, or what's in the drummers' minds when they're banging on their instruments ...... All I know is that every time I'm offstage, standing or sitting watching you guys perform, the moment I hear the vocalist's voice coming out of the mike, the hairs on my heart stand up in a flurry of sweat, and all of the The emotions in the unobstructed space flowed completely, your songs let me take off the fear, let the heart of the gentle but crazy sea, sometimes calm and sometimes rough. In your songs, I found love, courage and happiness, but also learned to be strong, brave and crazy, know the helplessness and toughness of life, but also know the ruthlessness of the years and the long, but there is no good can not be hurt, how to define the tragedy and comedy, completely by their own decision.
Your songs, happy as a candy, sad as a shadow, like a shadow, emotional intensity, deception. Most of the time in life, no matter how the mood, a fall into memory, ringing is your song. Your voice accompanied me from the streets and alleys shuttle, in the big city forested commercial buildings to find a sense of security, in the speeding flight of the train to find stability, in the smooth flight of the cabin to find the wings, in the darkness of the night to find a sky full of stars.
I still remember last April's Shanghai Spring Wave, was maliciously and rudely shut down that night, you know how reluctant we were to say goodbye to the mood of all melted into a song, so you also gave back and appeasement with the song of our expectations.
That day, I was nestled in the quilt, listening to you sing, "The unknown world is so big, the world is so small, the tears are so heavy, the eternal happiness is so little. Don't forget to look for, don't forget to build a bridge, even if the injury binds your feet, I accompany you to run toward the future streets." The original irritable and depressed mood all of a sudden, the heart of the darkness is slowly driven away, your voice is like a light, all of a sudden warmed all the concave and convex wounds.
That day, you were so sad, but also took the trouble to coax us to be happy, because in your eyes, we are not fans, but the audience who are sincere. I think your light is such a warm presence.
Thanks for letting me find you, see you in three years, we all need to be more brave and healthy.
