Zhang Xiaoxiao fled the competition venue as quickly as possible.
He was terrified that if he was even a second too late, Su Can would start consuming his CPU again!
He'd rather die than be karaokeed by Su Can!
But what Zhang Xiaoxiao didn't know was that despite his caution, he still left Su Can with nearly two thousand points of negative energy.
The comments section was full of speculation about the style of Su Can's new song.
[The title of this song by Chanchan is so poetic, is it a ballad?]
[This isn't rock music, is it? Drowning sorrows in alcohol, deep feelings, down it in one gulp. Shallow feelings, just a sip...]
[Hey upstairs, something's not right!]
[CanCan will definitely still be rapping. His raps are really good; I've listened to "Compendium of Materia Medica" and "Don't Bite Me" so many times!]
[It might be a slow, lyrical song like "Under the Sea," but I hope it's not too depressing for Cancan; she just broke up with her boyfriend, and it's a bit tough for her.]
Su Can ignored all comments and did not respond to Yang Mier's eager gaze.
He stood quietly in the center of the stage, holding the microphone.
The lights dimmed.
Immediately afterwards, a bright beam of light shone on him.
Song information appeared on the big screen.
Sorrow
Lyrics and music: Su Can
Arrangement: Su Can
Singer: Su Can
The live band provided accompaniment, starting the song with guitar, bass, drums, and strings.
A clear and sorrowful melody began to play.
But upon hearing this beautiful melody, everyone held their breath.
That was such a surprise!
No one expected that Su Can, who is good at rapping, would write such a deep and repressed melody.
No one understands why the melody draws people in, making them unable to stop listening.
Just like a popular saying online, I have wine, do you have a story?
Su Can's voice came through the microphone.
He began to sing slowly.
"When you step into this place of joy."
"Carry all your dreams and aspirations on your back."
"Various faces, various makeup."
Nobody remembers what you look like.
"After three rounds of drinks, you're in the corner."
"Stubbornly singing bitter songs."
"Listen to it being drowned out by the noise."
“You pick up your glass and say to yourself.”
The audience's ears were captivated by Su Can's singing.
The way the lyrics were delivered far exceeded their expectations.
Aside from the two versions of "Under the Sea", Su Can has always given the impression of being cheerful and funny.
He's still a steel veteran.
But the song in front of him was narrated slowly by Su Can in a gentle, deep voice.
The lyrics, full of poetry and imagery, depict a lonely and bizarre world.
The phrase "entertainment venue" is used as a metaphor for the stage in the entertainment industry where fame and fortune are pursued, while "various makeup styles" are used as a metaphor for the masks people wear in different situations.
The frenzy of talent shows, however, is like a lonely clown for the performers.
It brought applause, but not solace to the soul!
Nobody remembers what you look like...
Singing a bitter song in the corner...
These lyrics are so heartbreaking!
[This song was written by Su Can? I'm getting emo again!]
Su Can has once again blew me away with his abilities!
How could someone so silly write such a profound and painful song?
[Is the silly sculpture actually me?]
After a brief interlude, the chorus begins.
The climax of this song has a melody without much variation. Although it maintains continuity, it remains bland, like plain water.
But upon closer tasting, one realizes it is a strong, fragrant liquor, bitter to the throat, leaving one with a heart full of sorrow.
"One cup to the rising sun, one cup to the moonlight."
"Awakening my longing, softening the cold window."
"So you can fly against the wind without looking back."
"I am not afraid of rain in my heart or frost in my eyes."
"One cup to my hometown, one cup to the distant land."
"Holding onto my kindness urges me to grow."
"Therefore, the road between the north and south is no longer long."
"The soul is no longer adrift."
As soon as the chorus started, the comments section exploded.
The screen is filled with "666" (a Chinese internet slang for "awesome"), which is netizens' high praise for Su Can!
My opinion of Su Can has completely changed! The lyrics are so touching!
What defines a genius? This is what a genius is!
[Forgive my lack of cultural knowledge, but please allow me to loudly proclaim, "Holy crap, awesome!"]
[Please delete the post above, let me speak...]
[With lyrics like these, Su Can could make most of the poets in China's literary world bow their heads.]
[I also think the lyrics are so evocative, Su Can, you're amazing!]
The singing continued.
"One cup to tomorrow, one cup to the past."
"It supports my body and strengthens my shoulders."
"Although I never believe in the so-called 'mountains high and rivers long'."
Life is too short to dwell on the past.
"One cup to freedom, one cup to death."
"Forgive my ordinariness, and the confusion will be dispelled."
"Well, I always leave hastily after dawn."
"The most absurd people are those who are sober."
Su Can perfectly performed the entire song "Sorrow" with her captivating voice.
As the last note faded, people gradually recovered from the sorrowful song.
The majority of the audience at the venue and in the live broadcast room were young people.
This song perfectly captures young people's feelings about life and the future.
Confusion, bewilderment, courage, cowardice, pain, unease, restlessness, anxiety...
A mix of emotions, transformed into glass after glass of strong liquor…
Respect to the rising sun, respect to the moonlight, respect to our hometown, respect to the distant horizon, respect to tomorrow, respect to the past, respect to freedom, respect to death...
