The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)

Chapter 1161: Charlie boy

"Bon-Iver? But, why did you want to sing this song?"

Levine froze for a moment.

Yeah, why?

Maybe it’s because of Mickey, he thought he didn’t care, thought he had forgotten, thought he was accustomed to it, but he still overestimated himself; maybe because of reality, embracing talent but trapped in reality, thinking that he is talented is just in the wave of folk songs It's just an inactive member.

Maybe it’s because Jane, the woman I love so deeply, has made different choices on the path of dreams. She chose Jim, and he chose faith, and finally parted ways; maybe it’s because tonight is suitable for memories and has been wandering for a long time. , I’ve been alone for a long time, and I always start to feel sad. This is a folk song——

"Forget it, what happened to this love that hurt the dead?"

What’s interesting is that when people mentioned the song "Skinny-Love", they thought it was the version of British independent singer Birdy. This little girl’s singing was fresh, pleasant, sad and gentle. , With a unique charm, touched countless people, especially after being broadcast as an episode in "The Vampire Diaries", it became the love of teenagers, which also made Bird famous overnight.

But in fact, Byrd is not the original vocal, but a cover.

The original vocal version is from Bon-Iver, which was included in his personal non-studio album as early as 2007, and it has touched countless people. Compared with Bird's youthful youthfulness and sadness, the chic and vicissitudes of the original version gave the song a different flavor, and it was lingering like smoke lingering on the fingertips.

Just sitting on the stage, this melody emerged in his mind. As he said, a song will never be trendy and will never be outdated. It is a folk song. In that simple and light chord, time flows back bit by bit, looking for broken fragments and dark corners in memory, singing and singing, unconsciously getting old.

"Why?" This is a good question as well as a dumb question.

Levine’s mouth twitched slightly, and a trace of jokes flashed across his eyes, “Don’t you think this is very suitable for the atmosphere of tonight? In the kerosene lamp bar, how many deaths of the love of death are recorded, and Witness the birth of the love that hurts the death."

It was here that he and Jane met.

The intricacies of the heart rolled gently, and then settled down again, teasing relaxedly in an uninhibited tone, and you could hear the low laughter in the bar, the undulating whistles, and the vulgar discussion in the ear. "Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god." He hummed the tune in the melody again, but the light and breezy singing voice hidden the fuss-like exaggeration, and the low laughter turned into laughter.

"'Charlie Boy', here's a song'Charlie Boy'."

Someone in the crowd called out, it was Woody Allen. Everyone cast their sights, but the little old man was still hiding in the gloom, showing half of his face, waving his right hand, and stubbornly shouting, "How about,'Charlie Boy'?"

This is a song from the "Don Quixote" album, and it is also the song that Renly performed on stage for the first time in Pioneer Village.

For most people, this song is not familiar. Firstly, there is no chart, secondly, there is no publicity, and thirdly, there is no awards. It is buried in the whole album and is inconspicuous. But in fact, this song is very famous in Pioneer Village.

Because the song sang the Vietnam War, countless young people rushed to the battlefield only because of a word from the President. It was not until thirty years later that people knew that the so-called Vietnam War was just a hoax.

"Charlie boy, don't go to the battlefield." This is what the song is sung. The lines reveal historical traces and emotional scars. The clear and translucent guitar strings rippling in the mind, touching countless real music hobbies. The author also impressed countless people who have experienced that crazy age.

Later, Lanly starred in the "Pacific War", this "Charlie Boy" has also become a true portrayal of Eugene's mentality change.

Today, Woody single-selected this song, but it forms an intertextual echo with the previous "Hang me, oh, hang me", which is also the Vietnam War, the same anti-war, and the same is the 60s The wave of folk songs...

Both Ethan and Joel exchanged sights with each other. They never knew the song "Charlie Boy", let alone that in the creation of Lan Li, it coincided with the wave of folk songs in the 1960s. Even far more profound than they thought, faintly, the two of them also looked forward to it.

Levine lifted his gaze and looked at the source of the sound. It was half bright and half dark. His sight was not real. He could not recognize the face of the person who ordered the song. He could only see a moving head, the corner of his mouth. After a glance, he said jokingly, "I don't know when the kerosene lamp bar started to order songs. This is not karaoke."

The mocking tone was full of unrestrained and jealous, slightly squinted eyes looked around, then shrugged slightly, and chuckles self-deprecatingly, "But I guess, I have no choice, I still owe Papi How about three beers. Right, Papi?"

"Six bottles, bastard." There was a ruthless spit in the direction of the bar, and everyone in the bar burst into laughter.

Levine still didn’t care, “Since Papi doesn’t mind becoming a karaoke here, I think, I have no reason to refuse. Kennedy will definitely not be happy to hear this song, so it’s best to keep it secret. I am not ready to carry a rifle."

After spitting out, Levine once again outlined the strings. The turbulent and translucent musical notes rushed in the spring breeze. There seemed to be no difference, but it seemed that everything was different, and then just immersed little by little. In the melody, John-Kennedy's speech calling for the entire nation to join the Vietnam War seems to be still playing on the radio.

It is 1961, but no one knows that two years later, Kennedy will be shot and died young; after that, the United States will also be trapped in the quagmire of the Vietnam War, unable to extricate itself.

...

One song after another, the whole kerosene lamp bar was mesmerized. When the performance was over, people still seemed to be unable to get out. They were just silent in the madness and beauty of that era. Now people finally understand it vaguely. Why did the 1960s belong to the era of folk songs, and why are there no more talented and talented artists that can be bred now?

There is bitterness in happiness, and sorrow in happiness. The performance is over, but people still stay in the bar, reluctant to leave for a long time.

Levine left the stage, came to the side, and saw Stanley and George sitting side by side at a glance.

"Thank you." Stanley said with a smile, and his slightly flushed eyes revealed the turbulence and excitement in his heart. "You should know that these audiences are here for you. Those classics that have long been annihilated in the long river of history. , Now it’s beginning to shine again. This is a good thing, this is a good thing."

Stanley nodded and repeated in a low voice, without noticing that it was not Renly standing in front of him, but Levine.

"Thank you." George raised the beer in his hand and expressed his respect.

After the filming tonight is over, there is actually no need for Lan Li to continue the performance, because all the audience present today will receive compensation as extras. This is their job; but in order to express their gratitude, Lan Li chose to take the stage. The performance lasted for an hour and truly shared a wonderful night with the fans.

Levine twitched his lips, "For a singer, you can live only by standing there. So..." He shrugged and did not continue speaking. Everything was silent, but the words seemed meaningful. .

"Excuse me, can we?" Ethan broke in and interrupted the conversation between them, and Joel was already unreasonable and couldn't wait to pull Levine and leave, looking at Stanley and George helplessly. Ethan stretched out his hands to express his apology, and then hurriedly turned around to chase after him.

"'Missing Love', that song is Bon-Iver's? Right?'Charlie Boy'? This song is yours?" Joel asked eagerly, only to see Levine nodding. To be sure, Joel went on to say, "So, can we use it? I mean, in this movie? As a performance, or as a soundtrack?"

"I don't think this is a good idea." Levine shook his head. "Look, these two songs were created later. They do not fit the style of the 1960s, although the content and style seem to be somewhat similar. But... this is a folk song. If you want to use ~lightnovelpub.net for behind-the-scenes footage or later in concerts, then there is absolutely no problem, but in the movie? This is a bad idea."

Levine told the truth, looking at Joel and preparing to refute, he then said, "However, if you insist, I have no problem. As for Bon-Iver, you should call for his opinion."

"You and him are not friends?" Joel asked.

"No, it's not." Levine said sincerely, "If you can introduce us, I would be very happy."

Looking at Ethan and Joel in deep thought, Levine patted them on the shoulder, "I'll take a rest, call me again if you have something." After speaking, Levine turned around and turned towards Paul. I walked over to where Annie was, a big smile appeared on his face, and he started to say hello from a distance, "How about, do you still like the performance?"

"Jesus Christ, you are such a lunatic." Paul sighed, stood up and hugged heavily, smiling all over his face.

But Anne didn't make any movement, Levine couldn't help but froze slightly, "Annie? What's the matter? Don't you like the performance just now?"

Annie pouted and shook her head. Then she put her hands on her chest and shrank back. She seemed to be avoiding Levine and approaching in the direction of Paul. This action made people confused. Angrily opened his mouth and said, "You are not Lanly, you are not." After a glance, he said firmly again, "I know, you are not, you are not..." A thin layer of water mist.

The completely disappearing boundary between the pioneer village and the kerosene lamp bar, the blurred boundary between the 1960s and the real contemporary, finally resurfaced.
