Rebirth in 1993: The Farmer's Band

Waking up, Liang Liang found that he had been reborn into 1993.

After much thought about what he should do after his rebirth, Liang Liang decided not to be overly ambitious and venture into p...

Chapter 436 The Band That Never Changes Its Song

This question seems very simple, but it has remained unanswered for a long time.

These rock musicians didn't know how to answer the question for a moment.

"It seems you have absolutely no plans for your future, just drifting through each day. Fine! I'm not qualified to tell you how to walk your own path, so let's not discuss this today. We've already wasted a lot of time, so let's begin your performance. I know that quite a few of you look down on our Blue Shark band, so you might be resentful that I'm sitting here evaluating your songs. But that's not the main point. The main point is that if your songs pass, you'll have another opportunity to be seen by the public, and if you become famous! So I hope you won't hold any personal grudges against me. Just treat me like a robot and give it your all!"

Liang Liang picked up a form and read aloud, "Blue Wind Band! Now please perform your song 'I Didn't Say Anything.' We have prepared instruments here. You can use our instruments or your own."

The Blue Wind Band also brought their equipment, but they couldn't bring their drum set because it was difficult to carry, so they just borrowed the drum set from here.

The style of the song "Blue Wind" is folk.

That is, after the release of "Campus Folk Songs 1" this summer, many people started to play folk music.

For example, Liang Liang received more than a dozen folk songs in this song collection.

This year, folk singers all seem to love the words "wandering" and "youth." If a song doesn't include "youth" and "wandering," you'd be embarrassed to even look up at the sky when you go out.

If a song contains phrases like "lonely, wandering southern girl" and is accompanied by an acoustic guitar, regardless of the melody, it is considered a folk song.

The lyrics for this song by the band Blue Wind are basically composed of those lyrics.

"Blue Wind Band! I want to ask you a question: have you ever gone on a journey? I mean, outside of Lianwan City, within a hundred kilometers?"

After the Blue Wind Band finished singing their song, Liang Liang asked an unexpected question.

The entire Blue Wind Band shook their heads.

So you're saying you've never been a wanderer?

"Yes!"

"Since you've never been a wanderer, why do you use the word 'wanderer' so many times in this song? It appears six times in total. To put it bluntly, you might not like to hear it, isn't this just making a fuss over nothing?"

The members of the Blue Wind Band lowered their heads and remained silent.

"Actually, the first thing in songwriting is to write about people you know well, things that touch you, or familiar environments. Why insist on writing about things you haven't experienced or are unfamiliar with? Don't you think that's a bit pretentious and awkward? Okay! You guys can go sit down now. The second band, please come on stage!"

After each band finished performing their song, Liang Liang would offer a few comments.

This isn't him pretending to be an expert; his comments are insightful and to the point. If they could heed his advice and make corrections, they might just be able to make a name for themselves.

Liang Liang's comments on the seven songs in a row were almost entirely negative, mostly critical.

Even though he knew this would offend people, he didn't stop at all.

He doesn't care if he offends people; he's content with never speaking to them again. What else can he do?

"Han Chuang Band! Please come up on stage and perform your song 'My Heart Faces the Sun'."

The members of Lehe and Hanchuang Band went on stage. Fang Guoqi sat down in front of the drum set and tapped each drum twice. After finding the note range that suited him, he nodded to the other band members.

I am a sunflower blooming in summer.

Even starting from seedlings

Whether it's thunder and lightning or torrential rain and a vast sky

My heart will always face the sky.

Always facing the sun

Without any musical accompaniment, lead singer Yuehe delivered this incredibly powerful a cappella scream.

As soon as the word "sun" was sung, a heavy drumbeat rang out like thunder, followed by a bass playing a melody that sounded like dark clouds pressing down on the city, threatening to crush it.

If this were a concert, that one voice and that novel accompaniment would be enough to electrify the entire audience.

For the first time, Liang Liang smiled and nodded.

This is the song he wanted.

Lurking in the darkness

Accumulate one's own strength

Head held high in the sunlight

Take control of your direction

I am a little sunflower

Whether I grew up in the fields or on the hills

My head is always facing the sky.

My heart faces the sun.

During the chorus, Lehe's voice reached C5. The mixed voice of the lead singer of this band is of very high quality. I feel that his voice is similar to that of the singer from Green Island who sings about the sea. He has a lot of talent for high notes.

When the song ended, Liang Liang and Xu Wei both clapped.

"Han Chuang Band! Your song 'My Heart Faces the Sun' is an excellent song. Although you are not very old, your band's level of skill shows that you have been together for many years, at least two years."

"We'll officially be together for exactly two years by the 5th of next month. We've been hanging out together for about a year before we formed the band," Lehe answered Liang Liang's question honestly.

"Your band and lead singer are both very talented, and this song is excellent. This is the right way to play rock music. It's not about yelling at the top of your lungs. Now I can inform you that your song has been selected. I'll talk to you after all the songs have been chosen."

This is the first song selected by Liang Liang today.

This made the people in the audience envious, jealous, and resentful.

Yao Han of the Wentian Band was a little frustrated. Why was Hanchuang Band's lousy song selected?

What kind of garbage are their songs? I don't think any foreign bands sing like that.

The Hanchuang Band also left the stage.

"Wentian Band, it's your turn."

Before Yao Han could finish complaining, they heard the stage announce that their band was coming on stage.

The Wentian Band came on stage, and the song they performed was called "Withered Flowers".

The melody of this song has a somewhat beautiful style, melancholic and poignant, and is somewhat similar to "Fairy Tale Dream," a song that Liang Liang likes.

However, its lyrics are absolutely terrible; they're in the style of a "crotch song." Just listen to the song title, "The second half of the withered flower is the fallen willow," and you can tell what kind of song it is from the lyrics.

These kinds of things are just so-so if they're performed underground, but to release an album of them is just ridiculous!

Liang Liang chose this song mainly because of its melody; the lyrics, however, had to be changed.

"Wentian Band! I really like the melody of your song. The poignant beauty that keeps me up at night is very impressive. However, the lyrics of this song definitely wouldn't be suitable for an album. I hope you can revise the lyrics to be more wholesome and upbeat. Can you do that?"

“Sorry! Our band’s rule is that we never change the songs we create!” Yao Han replied without thinking.

Liang Liang frowned.
