"I once dreamed...to roam the world with a sword...to see...the splendor of the world...the youthful heart..."
Xiao Tian is a high school student who enjoys listening to music to relax because of his heavy workload.
While studying today, he suddenly heard his deskmate humming to himself.
At first, he didn't pay attention, but after listening to a couple of lines, he realized that the song his deskmate was humming was actually quite nice.
This immediately piqued his curiosity:
"Hey, Da Mao, what song are you humming? I've never heard it before."
My deskmate, Da Mao, smiled and said:
"It's normal that you haven't heard the new song that just came out. It's called 'The You of the Past,' and it's quite popular on Fireworks Music right now!"
"You Who Were Once Upon a Time? Which celebrity's new song is this? How come it came out without any prior announcement!"
Xiao Tian asked another question.
My deskmate, Da Mao, explained:
"There's no word about it because the singer isn't a famous star; it must be a talented newcomer."
"Oh, I see. I'll listen to it after class. 'The You of the Past,' right? I'll remember it!"
After the self-study period ended, Xiao Tian immediately took out his phone and started searching for the song titles he had just written down.
To his delight, this song wasn't one of those flashy, cheap tunes that you could only listen to for a few dozen seconds!
"That's great! We can listen to the original version of the song without needing a VIP membership."
I found the melody quite good when I first heard Da Mao humming it; I hope the singer's voice will be even better!
With his earphones plugged in, Xiao Tian muttered to himself.
However, he quickly quieted down because the music in his headphones had started playing.
And to his surprise, the sound coming from the headphones was even better than he had imagined!
...
When it comes to music, the place where it's easiest to become popular is schools.
One reason is the large number of people on campus. It's very easy for information to spread from one person to ten, from ten to a hundred, from a hundred to a thousand…
Another reason is that students are very receptive to new ideas and like popular things.
Generally, if someone in the class hears a good song, the whole class will know it within a few classes.
By the next morning, the news had spread throughout the entire grade.
If it were played on the school radio, the whole school would probably know about it.
Ironically, this newly popular song is available for free in its original, unedited form, which is quite beneficial for the campus radio station.
Most importantly.
Almost all young people are powerless against the allure of "wandering the world with a sword"...
With search data provided by a large young population, 'You Once Were' has risen rapidly on 'Fireworks Music'.
It started in the top ten of the new song trending charts, then quickly rose to the top five, then the top three, and finally secured the number one spot on the new song trending charts.
As a result, more netizens have come to notice this dark horse.
As more and more people listen to the same song on repeat.
"The You of the Past" shattered the void on the new song chart and soared to the top ten and top five of the hot song chart.
This chart represents the position that all songs on the entire site are competing for, and it can be said to represent the popularity ranking of songs at a certain time.
As for the song's comment section, it has already become incredibly popular:
"It's beautiful. I feel like the lyrics resonated with me and reminded me of when I was seventeen or eighteen."
"I don't know why, but when I was listening to this song on repeat just now, I started crying. I realized that I'm no longer a teenager."
"After listening to this song, I've made up my mind. I'm going to take a spontaneous trip. It's been my dream all along..."
"This is amazing! Where did this singer come from? I've never heard of him before!"
"Indeed, a singer with such formidable talent shouldn't be completely unknown. It's too strange!"
...
"Why does listening to this song make me want to quit my job? I can't listen to it anymore, I still have car and mortgage payments to make!"
"Free and unrestrained, warm and innocent! That's what I hear in the song. Youth is wonderful!"
"I once dreamed of traveling the world with a sword, but when I went out, I realized I didn't bring enough money, so I had to slink back home..."
"Stop messing around, buddy! I've only been here for three days, and you're already trying to trick me into going to Tibet again!"
"Xu Lu, this new singer is really talented! He writes and composes all by himself, that's amazing!"
...
"I'm numb. I suddenly have a premonition that after listening to this song, I'll probably owe 88,000 yuan on Alipay..."
"I got yelled at by my boss today, and after listening to this song, I immediately called him and yelled back. Do you think I'd let him get away with it?"
"Looks like I have no choice but to resign. 318, here comes XXX!"
"Every day I'm just mechanically tightening screws in the factory, but after listening to this song, I feel like the factory is mine, and the factory manager's wife is mine too!"
...
The online discussions are quite interesting.
Moreover, people have even discovered the "resignation attribute" of the song "The You of the Past".
When the next wave of resignations erupts, 'the former you' will likely have to take the blame.
In fact, among the many netizens, there are some rather special people.
That's Xu Lu's fan base.
However, they are still somewhat puzzled and haven't yet connected the two:
[Why does this singer have the same name as that streamer? Is it because being named Xu Lu makes it easier to become famous?]
[Hahaha, it really is someone with the same name! It's a bit of a shame though, we don't know what this Xu Lu looks like!]
