Chapter 953: Bones
“This should be the last new song to be released in advance before the official release of the album “Healing”.”
Jiang Yuan said as he walked back to the center of the stage.
"Before the performance started today, I saw that everyone seemed to have some understanding of the new song that we will perform today. It is indeed a rock song."
Every time Jiang Yuan spoke, the audience responded enthusiastically.
After standing in the center of the stage and plugging the microphone into the mic stand, Jiang Yuan directly announced the title of the song. After all, time was limited.
“Bones, for everyone.”
After he finished speaking, the lights dimmed, and as the audience cheered, Jiang Yuan put on his in-ear monitors again.
The song "Bones", like other tracks in the album, is also a hit single from the band Imagine Dragons.
Not long after it was released, it became a hit on the Internet due to the spread of short video platforms and had a very high number of views.
In the darkness, the audience knew nothing about this new song, but they all looked towards the stage with a certain expectation.
Listening to the prompt tone in the earphone monitor, Jiang Yuan held the microphone stand with both hands, and the band started up. As the stage design coordinated with the rhythm, the lights on the scene also lit up.
In the prelude, some synthesized sound effects sounded, and while the audience was still subconsciously waiting for the band to play, Jiang Yuan's singing was the first to be sung.
"Gimme gimme gimme some time to think,
I'm in the bathroom looking at me,
face in the mirror is all I need
(Give me some time to think, looking at myself in the bathroom mirror,
All I need is self-reflection)"
In the main song, as a prelude to emotion, the song is not sung in a very high pitch at the beginning.
The sound was transmitted throughout the large venue through speakers, and coordinated with the harmony and instruments behind the scenes, Jiang Yuan's singing gave the scene a feeling that was both powerful and somewhat ethereal.
"wait until the reaper takes my life,
never gonna get me out alive, I will live a thousand million lives
(Until Death comes to take my life,
Until there is no chance for me to escape from there, I will have experienced all kinds of things in the world.)"
Jiang Yuan sang the song at a very fast speed. Even though the audience was completely unfamiliar with the song, the fast-paced singing still brought a very pleasant listening experience.
As for the main song, there were not too many complicated choreography, just simple lighting to the beat of the music, allowing the audience to focus more on Jiang Yuan and the song itself.
“My patience is waning, is this entertaining?
Our patience is waning, is this entetaining?
(My patience is wearing thin, where's the fun in this?
Our patience is slowly running out)"
As the singing entered the next section, Jiang Yuan pulled the microphone off the stand.
Without any backing tracks throughout the entire performance, Jiang Yuan's singing was extremely stable, giving the audience a feeling as if they were listening to a CD.
At the same time, the sound effects in the background accompaniment and Jiang Yuan’s singing seemed to be announcing to the audience that the song was about to drop.
In fact, this is true. After the previous sentence was sung, there was a pause in both the music and the lights.
After a short empty beat, the band's drums suddenly started beating and the lighting effects suddenly became more dramatic and exciting.
“I~~~~got this feeling yeah you know,
Where I'm losing all control? Cause there's magic in my bones.
(You know how I got lost, how I lost control?
Because there is a magic in my body.)"
Accompanied by the drum music that suddenly became more exciting, the harmony team behind the scenes also began to sing the chorus of the song along with Jiang Yuan.
The singing, like a chorus, gave the audience a grand feeling.
At the same time, the transition at the beginning of the chorus also caught the audience's ears.
The most catchy part of the song "Bones" is the first sentence of the chorus. It is also this part that became popular thanks to a short video. Some homophonic translations have also been created in China.
At this time, this section was sung for the first time at the Woderland Music Festival. The simple two-time loop of the chorus left a deep impression on everyone present.
After the chorus of the first section ended, there was no interlude. Jiang Yuan continued to sing the second verse accompanied by the drum beats.
“Playing with a stick of dynamite,
There was never gray in black and white,
There was never wrong till there was right
(Walking on the edge of a knife, this world is either black or white, there is never a gray middle zone,
Right and wrong are also a cycle of opposition and interdependence.)"
During the second verse, after taking the microphone off the stand, Jiang Yuan started walking around on the stage. While singing, his hands involuntarily followed the rhythm of the drums, waving again and again.
After experiencing the first chorus bombardment, the audience was already somewhat brainwashed, and this time they began to sway to the rhythm of the song.
"Feeling like a boulder hurting, seeing all the vultures circling,
burning in the flames I'm work in, turning in a bed that's darkening
(Like looking over a mountain and seeing vultures circling overhead.
I set myself on fire and tossed and turned in bed until late at night.)"
Jiang Yuan walked and sang, and suddenly came to the front of the stage. At the same time, he pointed to the sky and performed stage movements in coordination with the lyrics. Just some simple rhythms were able to make the audience feel a strong stage charm.
“My patience is waning”
The same part was sung again, and the second time, the audience was already prepared for the chorus to come.
At this time, Jiang Yuan also stood on the small stool placed at the front of the stage.
When the chorus sounded again, Jiang Yuan suddenly jumped high from the stage stool, and then landed back on the stage.
Accompanying this was the sudden burst of fireworks, which was exactly the stage effect that Jiang Yuan had tested during the rehearsal the day before.
“I~~~~got this feeling yeah you know”
When the chorus was sung again, the magical transition made the audience start shaking their heads.
At the same time, I got the word "blast" mentioned during the repo rehearsal the day before.
Everyone in the audience raised their arms with bracelets in the air and waved them vigorously to the music.
The atmosphere on the scene was fanatical.
The audience gave such feedback, and as a performer, Jiang Yuan was naturally very satisfied.
The emotions were further vented in the singing, giving the audience the unique strength of a live performance.
This kind of singing style may sound too much in the recording studio, but it is just right in a live performance, to the point where it can't be any better.
Another short chorus was sung, with slightly sci-fi sound effects accompanying the drum beats. Jiang Yuan was also jumping up and down, driving the atmosphere of the scene.
At this time, the song suddenly enters the bridge part, and the drums disappear at this time. The atmosphere of the song seems to have returned to the calmness of the first verse.
"Looking in the mirror of my mind, turning the pages of my life,
walking the path so many paced a million times
(Looking at my reflection in the mirror, flipping through the copy of my life,
Looking back at the steps we have taken.)”
Jiang Yuan sang while standing on a stool, and his singing carried a feeling of looking back on the past, as if he was recounting past experiences.
"Drown out the voices in the air, leaving the ones that never cared,
Picking the pieces up and building to the sky
(The air swallows my shouts, away from those who don't care about me,
Put the pieces together again and build the dream tower towards the sky)"
When it came to the second part of the bridge, Jiang Yuan stood up straight from his original slightly bent singing position, raised one hand high and pointed to the sky, and his mood also became high.
“My patience is waning”
After the bridge section was finished, Jiang Yuan put down the hand holding the microphone and continued to sing this piece of music with harmony like a whisper.
Jiang Yuan turned and walked towards the microphone stand, following the pace of the music.
After plugging the microphone back into the stand, Jiang Yuan opened his arms to both sides and scanned the audience. He then finished his last line with the background chorus, "Is this entertaining?"
The sudden explosion of the high-pitched sound, like a tall building rising from the ground, ignited the entire audience, and they responded with even more enthusiastic cheers.
Then, the chorus started again in the next second.
"I~~~~~!"
During this performance, Jiang Yuan kept his arms open as if he was directing and motivating the audience.
All the harmony teams also started singing together at this moment, which can be said to be the most powerful part of the whole song.
Led by Jiang Yuan, the audience also sang along. After repeating it several times, the inflection of the word "I" was engraved in their minds.
"I~~~~"
The second time, Jiang Yuan took off his earphones and listened carefully to the chorus. A satisfied smile appeared on his face.
“.got this feeling in my soul, go ahead and throw your stones,
cause there's magic in my bones!
(My soul feels it, come, do not be stingy with your words of accusation,
Because there is a magic in my body)"
At this moment, fireworks burst out from the front of the stage again, and the singing just entered the final part, making the whole performance give the audience a feeling of myth and legend.
"There goes my mind don't mind.
There goes my mind
(My thoughts are all over the place, don't pay attention)"
The interweaving of Jiang Yuan's singing and the background harmony makes the whole song feel sublime at the last moment.
"Caue there's magic in my bones."
At the last moment of the singing, the song turned to this sentence, bringing the entire performance to a close.
The lyrics of the whole song may seem abstract and empty at first glance, but they actually explore the theme of life and death, expressed in a passionate way in the form of rock.
It is clearly a song of only two minutes in length, but it gives the audience a dazzling feeling. It is a song with many layers and fullness.
After Jiang Yuan finished singing, the audience responded with warm cheers and shouts, as well as continuous applause that did not stop for a long time.
Jiang Yuan was also listening to the noise at the scene, gasping for breath and drinking a sip of water.
For this song, Jiang Yuan completely let go on the stage and in the end he consumed a lot of physical energy.
After this new song, there was one last song to perform, so Jiang Yuan stopped to take a break and had a chat with the audience.
"I've seen everyone's performance. It was perfect coordination. It doesn't feel like the first time I've heard this song." After the applause died down, Jiang Yuan gave the audience a thumbs up.
"Of course, I also think that it was a very wonderful show." Jiang Yuan continued to praise himself.
After Jiang Yuan finished singing the song for the first time, he was also very satisfied.
Jiang Yuan felt that both his own performance and the atmosphere on the scene were just right.
“If you like the performance just now, don’t forget to download and listen to the song after it is released.”
After saying a few words, Jiang Yuan did not forget to promote it.
After confirming the response from the audience, Jiang Yuan nodded and began to introduce the final performance.
"Then it's time to end today's performance. If there is a chance, we may meet again at other music festivals or my personal performances."
"Well, next, let's continue to say goodbye in a hot atmosphere!"
The farewell at the end of Jiangyuan Music Festival was very quick, and at the same time, the big screen behind him also showed "Bye" in three different fonts.
The last song to be performed was "Bye Bye Bye", the only dance song that Jiang Yuan put in the album "Healing".
The song was also very popular because of its impressive dance moves and catchy melody.
If we talk about the previous song, it was the chorus at the last moment that infected the audience again.
From the very beginning of the song, some audience members couldn't help but sing along. Even when the chorus came, there were audience members in the audience dancing to the same steps.
In such a passionate atmosphere, Jiang Yuan also ended this Wonderland journey with singing and dancing.
At the last moment, the bands continued to play music, and Jiang Yuan bowed in different directions of the audience and left the stage.
Until Jiang Yuan disappeared from the stage, there were still many audiences immersed in the afterglow of Jiang Yuan's performance.
"Amazing, those songs are all from the same album!"
There were still passers-by who made such exclamations after the performance.
It can be said that he promoted his new album very well among the passers-by at the scene.
Fortunately, the performances at the music festival were relatively continuous. After Jiang Yuan’s performance ended, other singers still came on stage to perform, which helped the audience to come out of the crowd a little.
After Jiang Yuan finished his performance, related reactions on the Internet spread very quickly.
Woderland’s official account immediately updated a set of photos of Jiang Yuan on the stage.
The release of the live performance photos successfully caused quite a bit of discussion.
Subsequently, live performance videos were gradually uploaded to the Internet and received a relatively high number of views.
The performance clips of each song also help fans sort out the album tracks.
It wasn't until the live video of "Bones" began to circulate on the Internet that the popularity really began to soar.
