At 12 o’clock in the evening, many people were already asleep and immersed in their dreams.
But for others, their nightlife is just beginning.
After the magic show ended, Sister Na stepped on the stage. (TN: apparently, there was a magic show)
The performance stage of the Forget Worries Bar is not big. She can’t count how many times she had sang on it. Even with her eyes closed, she can stand in the familiar position.
However, this evening, Sister Na is extremely excited, as if it was her first time going out on a date with a boy. Even if the result is not wonderful, the process is undoubtedly worth remembering.
Faced with more than 200 known or unknown customers in the bar, she clutched the microphone in her hand.
For singing this new song for the first time, Sister Na made a lot of preparations and rehearsed again and again with the wandering band.
Although Brother Qin was very supportive and did not mind, she really felt that she should not be sorry for her friends.
Therefore, she never allowed herself to fail in singing!
Behind Sister Na, Qin Hanyang are playing with the wandering band.
They will also accompany Sister Na in her performance.
Finally, Lu Chen.
Before coming to Forget Worries Bar, Lu Chen didn’t expect that Qin Hanyang gave him a position when he made the arrangement. The guitar accompaniment in the two sections was simple and light, but the meaning was totally different.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Even before Sister Na started singing, there were already warm applauses in the bar.
Many of the people who came to the bar tonight were old customers who knew Sister Na, and her friends in the circle. Everyone knew that she was going to sing a new song.
“Come on, Sister Na!”
Passionate shouts and loud whistles follow, easily pushing the scene to a climax.
This also made Sister Na have a little bit of crystal tears in her eyes.
She is a very experienced person and has experienced great storms and waves. She also experienced the ups and downs in life, and will not be easily moved.
“Thank you, thank you very much!”
Sister Na took a deep breath, then raised her microphone and said, “I’m glad that so many friends came to the show tonight. I’m really glad and happy. I’ll give everyone a Thank you first!”
“Thank you” is a very popular light rock work in China in the early 1990s. Its melody is full of passion and vitality. Its lyrics are sunny and contain the power of striving upward.
The charm of classics will not fade easily because of time, but will become more mellow and touching. This song has been sung countless times so far. It is often heard in Houhai Bar and has a variety of versions.
Lu Chen once played Thank you here.
The singing style of Sister Na is totally different from him. With the accompaniment of the wandering band, she digs the inner spirit of the song thoroughly and vividly, and sings the true rock and roll flavor with her unique voice.
“Thank you for your company in every minute of my life, let me have sunshine, let me have strength!”
“Thank you for your support without regrets, so that I can get rid of the darkness, let me not be weak!”
“Thank you!”
At the end of the song, there was a thunderous applause.
Although it is a warm-up song, Sister Na performed very well, her skills and feelings are in place, showing her deep foundation and experience, worthy of her elder sister’s position in the Forget Worries Bar among the singers.
Many of the customers present know and understand music, so they naturally won’t be stingy on applause when they listen to and enjoy it.
“Thank you!”
After singing Thank you, Sister Na waved at everyone.
When the applause subsided, she continued, “The second song I’m going to sing, I believe many people already know, will be a new song. A new song I’ve been preparing for a long time!”
“And this song was specially written for me by our musical talent Lu Chen!”
Sister Na turned and looked at Lu Chen, who was sitting with the wandering band, with a trace of gratitude in her eyes.
Musical talent has just spread in Houhai circle, which is Lu Chen’s new nickname.
Houhai Circle is not very big, so news often spreads quickly. The two original works he sang on the night of Music Carnival were sold at an amazing high price, and they have been spread all over the circle for a a while now.
In addition, Lu Chen has been singing “You At The Same Table” and “Cinderella” at the Forget Worries Bar, which is a nickname worthy of the name.
She added, “To be exact, it should be our handsome young talent!”
” Little Lu handsome talent!”
Applause and laughter sounded at the same time. Lu Chen stood up with his guitar in embarrassment and waved to everyone.
“You guys, don’t tease the handsome guy anymore. I’m not the protagonist tonight.” (TN: I think Lu Chen said this)
The next moment, the intro sounded quietly.
The spotlight was on Sister Na, making her the focus of attention.
“The name of the song is, I Want To Have A Home.”
She smiled back at the audience, slowly closed her eyes and listened quietly to the prelude that had just begun.
Then, quite naturally, she began to sing the song that she had practiced so many times.
I want to have a home.
A place that doesn’t need to be gorgeous.
When I am tired,
I will think of it.
I want to have a home.
A place that doesn’t need much.
When I’m frightened,
I will not be afraid.
“…”
Beautiful and moving melody, straight and realistic lyrics with appropriate orchestration accompaniment, in the perfect interpretation of Sister Na’s unique voice, as if flowing like water in the hearts of all people, touching the soul!
“…
Who doesn’t want a home?
But some people don’t have it.
Tears streamed down his face.
You can only wipe it gently by yourself.
I envy him.
After injury, you can go home.
And I can only be lonely.
Lonely looking for my home.
“…”
Tears, once again appeared in the eyes of Sister Na. She closed her eyes, afraid to shed tears.
Happy families are always alike. Unfortunate families have their own misfortunes. Sister Na’s family is undoubtedly one of the most unfortunate. She drifted away from home at a very young age and never returned home for more than 20 years.
Because her family has long disappeared, and belongs to distant past, she wanted to forget that memory.
However, deep in her heart, she longed for a real home of her own!
Tears still flow down, but the accompaniment and singing become vigorous.
“…
Although I never had a warm home,
But I grew up as well.
As long as the heart is full of love,
They will be cared for.
Who can’t complain?
Everything can only depend on oneself.
Although you have a family with everything,
Why can’t I see your smiling face?
Never say there is no love.
Not going home all day,
At the same age,
Different minds,
Let me have a home!
“…”
While singing and venting her feelings, Sister Na resisted looking at anyone sitting under the stage at the moment because she was afraid that her eyes would reveal what’s in her heart. and was afraid of the pain of rejection.
She has been rejected too many times.
Under her strong and optimistic appearance, hidden is a fragile and sensitive heart.
After some time, applause sounded out again, neatly and warmly.
Many people stood up and applauded, clapping hard, and some even had tears in their eyes.
Like Sister Na, they have been wandering in the capital for many years. Although some people have achieved their careers, others earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, can afford apartment hotels and car loans.
But they used to live in basement, crowded in the subway, had to rely on instant noodles to support day after day, had to face countless difficulties and setbacks, becoming numb to he increasingly heavy work and entertainment like a walking corpse.
At that time and even now, they were eager to have a warm home, a considerate and kind husband or a gentle and beautiful wife, and a smart child, who could go out happily on weekends.
No matter what anyone has experienced outside, home is always a peaceful harbor and a sanctuary for healing.
This song “I want to have a home” sings the voice of all people, which awakens the resonance from the soul. They feel the same, and they can’t help it!
“I want to have a home, a place that doesn’t need to be gorgeous!”
Lu Chen sat on the piano stool, holding the guitar and looking at her sister on the stage, but his mind is in a place thousands of miles away.
At this moment, he misses his home!
