Chapter 148 "The Prodigal Son Returns"



"Colorful vintage cars swaying with the palm trees."

"Elopement with the sea breeze, aimless and aimless"

"Antique bookstalls are filled with the fragrance of time."

"..."

The upbeat and unique rap, combined with the melody of Latin dance music, makes the song's atmosphere even more joyful.

The focus of the lyrics has also subtly shifted, and the perspective has become broader.

A series of images such as "vintage cars," "palm trees," "sea breeze," and "antique bookstalls" come to mind, seemingly unrelated, yet cleverly blended together.

It was a city that yearned for freedom and unrestraint.

At that moment, it was as if I were on a cool beach, riding a bicycle, watching the sunset, feeling the sea breeze, humming a tune, and enjoying the comforts of life.

"The noisy posters lie there."

"A lazy attic balcony"

"And you are the sea described by writers."

These three sentences are the most wonderful!

It incorporates a touch of classical guitar style reminiscent of Nordic bards, bringing a completely new perspective.

Later, he rapped a tune that blended ancient Greek and Mediterranean styles, creating a relaxed and laid-back atmosphere.

It makes listeners unconsciously close their eyes and enjoy the relaxed and lazy atmosphere.

Unfortunately, the song was very short, ending in just 3 minutes and 5 seconds, leaving listeners wanting more.

However, its overall style has the same charm as the Mojito.

Just like falling in love, at the beginning it's always like mint, fresh and natural.

Then, I gradually came to appreciate the nuances of love, and I always enjoyed reading her eyes when she was slightly tipsy.

After spending every day together, a sour taste, like lime, slowly emerged, but I knew I couldn't escape you, as fiery as rum...

[Wow, that's amazing! They even incorporated Latin dance music into a pop song. Xiao Lanling is a genius!]

The rap in the middle is amazing; it's rap, but it conveys a lazy, carefree attitude towards life.

I have a feeling that after this song, the Mojito cocktail is going to become a hit.

If Mr. Mask could write songs for every cocktail, I would definitely try them all!

"Are you trying to kill him with work? He must have made dozens of cocktails by now!"

[...]

In this musical atmosphere, the audience also began to enjoy the relaxed and free atmosphere.

However, before they could even enjoy it, a song of a completely different style came along.

Song: "The Prodigal Son Returns"

Singer: Bei Chen

Lyrics and music by Bei Chen

(This song was actually written and composed by Huang Qibin and performed by the Eggplant Egg Band!)

"The next song might be a bit heart-wrenching, so please allow me some time to prepare!" Bei Chen prompted after the song title was announced.

Because he knew that the atmosphere created by "Mojito" would be completely swept away.

The audience also became more restrained.

With so many precedents, people believe that what Bei Chen said was truly heartbreaking.

Bei Chen's way of adjusting his mood is by mixing drinks.

Bartending is a process that requires complete concentration; you can briefly forget everything that just happened and even the charm of "Mojito".

Then Bei Chen took out red wine and vodka.

Add 45ml of vodka, 20ml of Cointreau liqueur, 10ml of syrup, and 10ml of lemon juice to a shaker and start shaking.

Shake well and pour the wine into a prepared glass.

Finally, pour in 45ml of red wine!

"This wine is called 'emo'."

Bei Chen pushed it in front of the camera, while behind it he expressionlessly wiped the wine glasses: "emo is a wonderful suffix, carrying multiple emotions such as confusion, loss, anxiety, and depression."

It is often used for trivial matters such as studies, work, and life.

Sometimes, no reason is needed; just certain moments, such as at night or when it's raining, are enough to make one feel melancholy.

And just like this song "Emo," it has a sweet and sour taste upon first sip, but is mixed with the bitterness of red wine, making people unconsciously want to explore the meaning of life...

When he finally adjusted, Bei Chen returned to the stage, still holding that cup of "emo" in his hand.

Close your eyes, then gently exhale:

"Lighting cigarettes one by one"

"Drinking one glass of wine after another."

Please be understanding of me.

"I can't hold my liquor, sell it to me for a quick drink."

"..."

With 83 vowels, the Minnan language easily creates an emo atmosphere.

In addition, there was Bei Chen's already clean and husky voice, and the heavy and slow piano music as a foundation.

Just as Bei Chen said, the melody of this prelude immediately evoked a heart-wrenching feeling.

The lyrics of the intro are actually the same as the lyrics of the chorus.

Placing the chorus at the beginning is to put the most essential part first, so that it can keep the audience engaged from the start.

After the intro, there are two heavy drumbeats, followed by Lin Sen's guitar solo, which lasts for 30 seconds.

In keeping with the intro, for some reason, just listening to this melody makes one feel a lump in their throat.

It's safe to say that this piece is unbeatable in creating atmosphere.

It was after the guitar solo that the song truly came into its own:

"I rode my two-wheeled motorcycle on the bumpy road."

"Whatever, my life is a piece of shit."

"I have no money, no money, no life."

"My friend, let's fight together!"

When he said "bo," the hoarse, drawn-out tone, carrying a sense of vicissitude, sent a shiver down one's spine.
