Eli and Liam sat in the 'flower' garden in the middle of the street, boredly looking at the pedestrians around them. Eli is a person who is very interested in music, he likes music very widely, including the trend of the recent 'tide', but Eli believes that there are few people who can have an impact on the whole culture like the Beatles or Michael Jackson, and more importantly, their musical 'spirit' has become the core of the culture, and they have used their talent and strength to elevate music to the category of art, which is very rare. It's a pity that there is no such real superstar in the music field anymore.

Therefore, although Eli is interested in music, he is not very interested in singers, he admires the Beatles and Michael Jackson, but he missed the peak of these two singers because of his age, so he has never really followed his idols.

The reason why I was willing to follow Liam to watch this street band perform today was just out of curiosity. Eli naturally knows that his friend has been 'commotion', uneasy and 'confused' recently, and the state that Liam came out of on the phone yesterday is even more absence, so Eli is also very curious about what kind of performance Liam watched, and he is so excited and 'excited'.

"Did they change places? You know, this kind of nameless band that 'waves' on the streets always has to go to a place where the 'tide' is strong. Eli looked at his watch, they had been waiting for at least half an hour, but they still didn't see the band that Liam was talking about.

Liam shook his head firmly, "They said they would still be here, they wouldn't change places." It's just that I forgot to ask the time yesterday, so I came here an hour early so that I wouldn't be late, and I guess they will show up after a while. ”

Eli looked at his friend's determination, but didn't believe it, "You know, this kind of band says it won't change places, but the situation is changing all the time......"

"Eli, I said no, that is, no" Liam is willing to believe in Glory to Death, which has nothing to do with the length of time they have known each other, but because yesterday Glory to Death still performed with all their hearts and minds in the audience with only one person in the audience, which let Liam know that they deserve their admiration and trust.

Eli looked at Liam's irritable expression, pursed his lips, and didn't say anything more, deciding not to 'provoke' his friend anymore. But in his heart, he was quite disdainful, Liam didn't know anything about the band, music, or anything, and Eli couldn't blame him.

Eli looked away and watched a magician not far away performing alone, he had two performances, but the audience was still small, so at this point the magician began to pack up his equipment, and it seemed that he was ready to change places: he could not be blamed for this, after all, street performances were only established by having an audience.

At this moment, Liam tugged Eli hard, and Eli turned around to see five men not far away carrying musical instruments from a pickup truck, "Is that them?" Eli asked.

Liam nodded vigorously and walked up with an agitated expression, Eli reluctantly following. Before Liam could get closer, he saw one of the members of the band say hello, "Hey, you're here" and a smile on his face, followed by the rest of the band turning their heads and greeting Liam with smiles.

"I said I would come again." Liam said happily, but he was a little cramped, and he didn't know how to express his inner feelings, so he could only pull his friend next to him, "This is my best friend, Eli Casvi, let's come over and cheer you on together." ”

"Haha, that's great." Eli, who spoke, recognized him as the bassist of the band, and he was very lively and cheerful, "Hugo, it seems that our band has its first loyal fan." ”

The bassist looked in the direction of the lead singer, and Eli couldn't help but say the number one: the lead singer's name is Hugo. The lead singer replied, "Then you have to show yourself well today, otherwise the first fan will run away, and it's too late to cry." This sentence made everyone laugh.

Looking at the laughing band in front of him, Liam turned to his friend excitedly and said, "Well, aren't they 'good'." ”

Eli resisted the urge to roll his eyes: good people don't mean good music, this should be the basic common sense that children know. What's more, now it's just a matter of seeing the band in a harmonious atmosphere, and nothing at all. Maybe the band will quarrel a lot after they go back, and they will split over who is more popular...... Eli's mind was flooded with complaints, and he was a little powerless about Liam's ignorance.

Soon, however, Eli's chaotic thoughts came to an abrupt halt as the band's first song began.

The crisp guitar strings are full of the vicissitudes of wind and dust, and just a few string notes outline a moving picture, "My vision is incomparably broad, I enjoy every day on the road ahead, and admiring the world outside the window means saying goodbye to the past and starting the journey from today." "The lead singer's calm and atmospheric singing style is even more eye-catching, and most importantly, the 'fine' color of the song is completely unexpected.

Eli is a pseudo-song 'fan', although he is not crazy about a certain band or a certain singer, and he does not have a real in-depth understanding of a certain type of music, but he still has his own opinions on the popular trends of today's music. Eli can clearly feel that the style of the band in front of him is atmospheric and simple, which is very different from the current metal rock trend represented by Nirvana.

In this song just now, the chords of the arrangement are not 'tricky' and 'flowery', but rely more on the coordination between the drums, guitar and bass, giving full play to the charm of the instrument itself, weaving a melody, and finally relying on the lead singer's explosive and surging singing to present the essence of the song.

The phrase "Sometimes leaving means a second chance", the warm but magnetic voice of the lead singer is always like a cactus in the desert, growing stubbornly and strongly, this kind of exclamation that invades the soul is refreshing. Maybe this band doesn't have enough 'flowers' in arrangement, maybe this band doesn't have enough guitar grips, maybe this band is out of step with today's musical 'trend', but the soul that the band injects into the music is resonant.

Despite the surprise, Eli still has to admit that this time Liam is right. Of course, Eli thinks that it is necessary to continue to observe, after all, the overall strength of the band cannot be judged after listening to just one song, and it is still necessary to watch the whole performance before making a judgment. But Eli understands why Liam was so 'excited' yesterday, because the band's singing and performances always resonate in people's hearts.

The vicissitudes and enlightenment of the lyrics, the swaying and wanton singing, not everyone can control it, especially after abandoning the complexity of technology and the 'tricks' of arrangement, it is still able to maintain the vitality of music, which is really rare.

It was precisely because Liam had no knowledge of music that he was so simply moved by the pure soul of music, and Liam could feel the pure love of music in this band. Eli suddenly began to faintly look forward to the band's next performance, whether it would continue the 'fine' color of the first song, or whether it would just explode once and completely wither.

The band was quick to give their answer, with the second song "Strangling the Hero." Herces)" once again destroyed all of Eli's perception of music, and the third song, "Lithium", returned to the route of the 'tide' flow, but showed a completely different impact, which completely conquered Eli.

Eli couldn't believe that Liam had found such a 'colorful' band, even if it was not inferior to today's premier bands, maybe the technical style and performance level of this band in front of him were still a little young, but their live performance and emotional appeal were absolutely top-notch, and more importantly, this band's subversion of today's musical 'tide' was shocking.

Eli looked at the small crowd around him, and at most six people were standing next to him at a time, but he quickly moved away again, which made Eli feel sorry for the band. This band deserves this kind of treatment, their music deserves more praise and more attention, and these ordinary people don't know how to appreciate their music at all. Eli thought indignantly.

But what surprised Eli even more was that the band was not affected by the size of the audience at all, they were always engrossed in the music, performing every piece seriously, and every time something went wrong, the band members would look at each other and do their best to ensure the quality of the performance. Even when the audience was only him and Liam, the attitude of the band members did not show any contempt, and the dedication and sincerity of the music gave their music a moving power.

Eli was stunned, he was completely moved by the band in front of him, because of their music, but also because of their love for music. Although rock is now popular, and there are not tens of thousands of rock bands, but it is difficult to find a band that can awaken the resonance of your soul. But Eli found himself fortunate that he had found it.

When "don't be upset about the past" (do.look. ba。 Anger)" slowly dissipated in the air, Eli looked at Liam with tears in his eyes, wiped the tears from his eyes, and coughed lightly, "Liam, what do you say, what is the name of this band?" ”

"Glory unto death." Liam said word by word that even a team name contains the 'spirit' of the band to death.

Eli stood there and watched the band members smile and mutter, "Glory to death." "He knows it's been worth all his money.
