"Then there's 'A Woman Easily Hurt'. This is my fallback. In today's market, no one can guarantee success. This kind of old-school Cantonese song might unexpectedly find its way into the middle-aged and elderly market, so I have to keep it."
He looked at Jiang Xinhai: "Have you noticed that this album lacks depth? In fact, it could use a little more depth."
"So what exactly is depth?"
Jiang Xinhai feels that every song they've been working on so far is very nice, but she doesn't feel the depth.
Chen Ya thought for a moment, took out a pen from his trouser pocket, opened his clothes, and wrote two words on the lapel:
courage.
Jiang Xinhai tilted her head. She thought it was Chen Ya cheering her up.
"The eleventh song—" Chen Ya said, "It's called Courage."
"Courage?" Jiang Xinhai's mind flashed with the image of a strong man singing while waving his fists.
"Love really does require courage to face rumors~" Chen Ya snorted, and Jiang Xinhai heard it and found it unexpectedly catchy.
"Is this really something you came up with on the spur of the moment?" Jiang Xinhai asked.
He can sing whatever song he wants on the spot. This is the magic of Chen Ya, and Jiang Xinhai has gotten used to it.
Chen Ya did not answer her, but said: "The twelfth song..."
A slightly cool breeze blew between the two of them. Chen Ya's eyes flashed, and he continued writing under his clothes:
"Invisible Wings."
Jiang Xinhai looked at these words in confusion, not knowing what they meant.
She didn't know how much of a stir these simple words would cause many years later.
At the press conference of "Poetic Life" ten years later, the media, which had been in an uproar and condemning Chen Ya, suddenly became speechless after hearing the name of the song.
"Invisible Wings".
As far as Jiang Xinhai himself is concerned, this song is not ranked first in the album "Meeting".
In terms of melody, it is not as catchy as "Later" and "Legend";
In terms of popularity, it is not as good as "Meeting" and "At Least I Still Have You";
In terms of lyrics, it is not as timeless and fresh as "Red Bean" and "Those Years in a Hurry".
When Chen Ya wrote the lyrics of "Invisible Wings", Jiang Xinhai almost thought that this song was written by Chen Ya for himself.
"Every time I wander around in loneliness, I am strong.
Every time, even if I am hurt, I won’t shed tears.
I know I have always had a pair of invisible wings,
Take me flying over despair..."
She felt that after the Daolang incident, Chen Ya suffered a deep blow and fell into endless darkness.
That's why he wrote such simple, clear and straightforward lyrics.
Later, she gradually fell in love with this song. When she walked alone on the campus of Binhai University, between classrooms and cafeterias, she would occasionally hum this song subconsciously.
What she didn't know was that after the album "Meeting" was released, those love songs entered thousands of homes and KTVs, and this song, which did not contain any love but only the voice of loneliness, entered campuses of all sizes.
It stands out from the other eleven love songs - it's an inspirational song.
There are not many good inspirational songs like this in the entire Chinese music scene.
The following year, the president of Capital University sang the song "Invisible Wings" in a tune-deaf voice at the welcome party to encourage the students.
In campuses large and small, this song will be played on the radio during breaks, and countless hard-working students have grown calluses on their ears from hearing it.
However, during the countless nights of studying late into the night, they would occasionally think of this song to cheer themselves up a little.
Those who are struggling to repeat their studies, those who are staying up late for work, those who are about to give up and feel confused, when they are at the lowest point in their lives, they will think of this one of the few inspirational songs in the Chinese music scene again and again.
Five years ago, there was a major earthquake in Longtian.
In the darkness, in the mud and heavy rain, and on top of the ruins, search and rescue workers broke up the rubble and moved away the debris bit by bit.
At this time, faint singing suddenly came from underground where they had been trapped for more than ten hours.
It was a thin child's voice humming, gentle and firm.
The firefighters wiped the sweat and tears from their faces and asked: "Little boy, what song are you singing?"
From beneath the ruins, the faint voice immediately replied, "Invisible Wings..."
When this little girl was rescued from the rubble, she appeared on the TV screen with her eyes blindfolded, and countless viewers shed tears.
Her family was gone, and she was lying alone in the narrow crevice, hugging her legs, humming "Invisible Wings."
A month later, Jiang Xinhai, who had faded from the music scene for some time, rushed to Longtian and took the stage to start her charity performance.
When the song "Invisible Wings" sounded, she choked up several times, crying while singing, with tears streaming down her face.
She handed the microphone to the audience, and immediately a chorus of thousands of people sang in unison.
"I finally see all my dreams come true,
The young voices of pursuit are so loud,
I finally soared and gazed with my heart, not afraid.
Fly as far as the wind will take you!"
After the song ended, there was thunderous applause from the audience.
It is for Jiang Xinhai and also for themselves.
During this national tragedy, countless families were broken up and relatives and friends were displaced.
It was this song that inspired people in the darkness.
From then on, Jiang Xinhai was given a new nickname, "The Goddess in the Ruins", and was even given a special meeting with the leader.
