Before performing, should you talk about the background of the song?
No problem!
It's to help everyone better understand the meaning expressed in the song.
Just like songs such as "Red-Clad Ladies" and "Mohe Dance Hall," many people are drawn to the background music first, and then listen to the songs.
Otherwise, the lyrics would be so vague that no one would know what they were trying to say.
As everyone looked at Bei Chen, his explanation followed:
In English, 'Dear xx' means 'my dear [someone's name]'.
Is that 'dear John letter' a letter written to dear John?
That's obviously not the case!
Dear John Letter is actually a slang term with a sad story, which was popular during World War II.
It wasn't a love confession letter, but a breakup letter, a letter of severing ties.
Now you know how pathetic John was, he only deserved a breakup letter!
Bei Chen's humor made the people below smile and laugh.
He received the message:
"During World War II, American male soldiers who joined the army were constantly fighting abroad. Not only were they constantly on the move, but they also faced the danger of losing their lives."
The worst part is that the wives or girlfriends back home can't stand the loneliness anymore, and the men around them have an opportunity to take advantage of them. In the end, they all fall for other men and write to them to inform them:
Dear John, I have found my home, but it's not you. I hope you can return safely and find your true love for the rest of your life.
The male soldier burst into tears upon seeing the letter. He had gone to the front lines to fight, only to have his home stolen!
Who the hell can I complain to?!
Finally, when these divorced men returned, they would all jokingly refer to themselves as "Dear John..."
Hearing this, everyone understands the background of this song. It's truly a sad yet laughable story of being cuckolded!
After speaking, Bei Chen handed the stage over to Lu Jiuning, and it was time for Lu Jiuning to fight.
"Ta-da..."
The sound of a piano with a strong rhythm began.
Both the rhythm and the melody are commendable.
Unbeknownst to many, it brought a sense of heaviness, loneliness, and bewilderment.
At the 13-second mark, Lu Jiuning's voice appeared:
"Close the door, one person, luggage on the train."
"Make up your feelings as the joy of first love."
"I want to find myself, for myself, and find something."
"..."
Lu Jiuning's voice was no longer the steady and clear one it had been before, but rather deep and melancholic.
If it weren't for the system giving the diva singing skills, she would never have been able to achieve this level.
The fast-paced enunciation, paired with an equally fast-paced piano melody, immediately creates a sense of emotional tension.
"So, love didn't exist; it abandoned me."
When the song reached the line before the chorus, Lu Jiuning's voice became rough and powerful.
That one sentence alone made the four bands below take a few more glances at Lu Jiuning.
When "The World Won't Collapse Easily" was released, everyone praised Mr. Mask for having a rock voice, and now this Miss Rabbit seems to be following the same trend.
Next up is the chorus, right? What will the chorus be like?
Karen and Mangosteen had already sensed something unusual; they put down their glasses, afraid that they might get too excited and throw them away.
Your love will intoxicate me.
"I don't care."
How can one be truly intoxicated when one is too sober?
They did not disappoint the four bands, nor did they disappoint the customers and netizens.
The whole place erupted!
Lu Jiuning's weathered voice, deep and resonant, evoked a unique sense of loneliness.
In addition, the highly penetrating metallic texture, along with the subtle addition of drum beats, captivates the ears of every listener.
The overall sound is melancholic yet unrestrained, free and unrestrained.
Jiang Jing couldn't hold back any longer and jumped up from the spot, kicking the chair aside.
She trains herself relentlessly every day, striving to develop that metallic voice.
Now that the basic structure is complete, she only needs to put in a little more effort to reach that level, and the Firefly Band will also reach a higher level as a result.
But today!
She was surprised to hear such a voice in a bar; its wild, metallic quality was so rich and intense.
Like a fighter jet, it suddenly crashed into Jiang Jing's heart, leaving her completely unprepared, her scalp tingling, and she clutched her hair tightly.
He was clearly stunned by the blast!
"Your Love"
"Like a cup of coffee that's too strong."
"It kept me up all night."
I love this feeling.
Karen, Mangosteen, and Gui Tai were also shaken so badly that they couldn't help but kick away the chairs they were sitting on.
"Watfa, with a voice like that, you were born to do this!"
They only have one feeling right now: awesome!
It was incredibly satisfying!
Whether it's bands from Kyushu or other countries, you'll notice that they almost always have male lead singers.
It's simply because men's voices are naturally more rugged, and when paired with the rhythm of rock music, it naturally creates a feeling that excites people and makes their adrenaline surge.
A woman's high notes and delicate voice may be at a disadvantage in rock music.
But at this moment, Lu Jiuning clearly broke that boundary.
She proved to the world with her singing that female voices can be rock and roll too!
After the second chorus, a short guitar solo is used as a transition, which also serves as a boost to the climax.
To the surprise of Lu Jiuning and Bei Chen, Lin Sen actually started playing along with the melody, and his performance was so seamless that it didn't seem out of place at all; on the contrary, it made the rhythm even stronger.
