The social phobia substitute will not dream of the band girl

Life is beautiful

Life is wonderful

Now your living out your dream

Life is more wonderful than you think

With your hopes up high

Chase your dreams

Your only limit is the sky

The blue sky is your only obstacle

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Black mouth! Black mouth! Hey

......

The second song gives people a completely different feeling from the first one. Putting aside the emotional tone and language, the fact that one person can produce two completely different voices is enough to surprise people.

At this moment, they finally realized that Phoenix might not really be an organization but a single individual, a genius so genius it could not even be called human. Of course, whether those who had drawn conclusions based solely on online "evidence" would accept this fact or produce or even fabricate new evidence was another matter entirely.

In stark contrast to the first song, which was gloomy, dejected, and mournful, the second song was uplifting, sunny, and cheerful. When He began singing the first song, no one dared to raise their voices, even their breathing was unconsciously suppressed, as if they had become the displaced girl in the song, uncertain about her future.

During the second song, PhoeniX did not stand still like before, but "shook his legs and moved his feet" as the lyrics of the song said. If the venue was not limited, he might have wanted to perform a dance.

The suppressed emotions of the first song are initially released here, and a sense of relief and joy emerges in everyone's heart, as if the rain has returned and the sky has cleared. The first song is low and full of anticipation, the second song looks forward to a bright future, so what will the third song be like?

Everyone began to look forward to it, waiting, just like how they used to look forward to what songs the owner of that account would update today.

"Third Song...On My Own"

......

I don't wanna be incomplete

I don't want to become broken and withered anymore

I remember what you said to me

I still remember what you said to me

I don't have to fight alone

I don't have to fight alone anymore

Bring me out

Get me out

Come and find me in the dark now

Go find me in the darkness

Everyday by myself I'm breaking down

I am alone and weak, and I gradually collapse every day

I don't wanna fight alone anymore

I don't want to fight alone anymore

Bring me out

Get me out

From the prison of my own pride

Take me out of the prison of pampering

My God, I need a hope I can't deny

My Lord, I need an irresistible hope

In the end I'm realizing

Finally I realized

I was never meant to fight on my own

I never thought about fighting alone

......

If the first song is about not giving up hope in despair and persisting in finding one's destiny, and the second song is about setting off with confidence after finally finding one's goal, then the third song is about finally finding what one lacks and the person one longs for after falling into hardship and lows.

You can hear it, everyone can feel it.

He, Phoenix is ​​searching and waiting for someone who can make him no longer lonely.

Did He find it in the end?

The audience doesn’t know, and will have to wait and see the fourth song in the end.

"The last song of the day... 'Awake and Alive'"

......

I'm awake I'm alive

I'm still awake, I'm still alive

Now I know what I believe inside

Now I know what I believe in.

Now it's my time

It's my show time

I'll do what I want 'cause this is my life

I will bloom my splendor because this is my life

Here,(right here) right now (right now)

Here is now

I'll stand my ground and never back down

I will hold my ground and never waver

I know what I believe inside

I know what I believe in.

......

What exactly is the faith that PhoeniX is talking about?

do not know.

Among the audience there were Orthodox Christians, Puritans, Muslims, Buddhists, Taoists, and even people who believed in some indigenous gods or even evil gods, but their thoughts were the same -

do not know.

If He, if Phoenix had faith, who would it be, what would it be?

They didn't know it, but they felt it and understood it.

It is Himself, His own heart, and His principles.

The confusion, recovery and helplessness in the past are all in the past. Now his will is as strong as steel.

Nothing in this world can shake him, confuse him, or make him stagnate.

Ps: The first song is the opening theme song of the TV animation "The Ancient Magus' Bride", and the singer is JUNNA

The singer of the second song is Tim McMorris

The third song is from the band Ashes Remain

The fourth song is by the band Skillet

The version sung by the protagonist is his own variation. What I am talking about is just the version that I, the author, have listened to. Please imagine the specifics based on the content of the book.

Some people may wonder why the protagonist, whose singing and performance are mediocre, can be respected and loved by others. The answer is very simple -

because of love.

No one understands love better than the male protagonist who carries the weight of two worlds. His extreme emotions make him different.

Chapter 85: On the Morning Stage

PhoeniX's performance made everyone so mesmerized that they couldn't help themselves. The audience only came to their senses after the organizers couldn't wait to use the loudspeaker to announce the official opening of the music festival. Many people walked out, but more people stayed where they were, just like the person who was confused about the way forward in the song just now.

The main stage only hosts concerts at night on the 19th and 20th. All the performers who can perform on the stage are well-known figures in the music field of their own country, region and even the world.

However, if we only focus on the most popular music, it will not bring any benefit to the world. Those who blindly believe in it will only be deceived by the seemingly great existence. Only by watching and learning more can we truly gain wisdom and discernment. Therefore, the organizers will invite some potential second-rate bands and unknown people to participate and allocate part of the daytime (future) for them to use.

During the day, the locked main stage is surrounded by several sub-stages divided by musical style and ideology, interspersed with smaller stages. Countless musical styles and ideas collide, merge, and develop here, giving rise to countless possibilities. This is the future that Ping Xin hopes for.

A future that can accommodate everyone, a world that can continue to progress and improve!

In a lounge with no one around and no surveillance within a few dozen meters, the modern God of Music discarded his authority and his clothes, transforming back into an ordinary human. He then headed out through a long-prepared secret passage to the outside world. He had other things to do and witness in the morning.

......

...

..

Following the genre breakdown, Ping Xin arrived at the main rock music venue, where heavy metal, punk, visual kei, progressive, classical, and countless other subgenres were all available. Although PhoeniX, who single-handedly revolutionized the music world, couldn't have any preferences or express his dislike for anything, as a simple music lover, he still preferred rock music, which allowed him to express his emotions.

Rock music is a very individual genre. There are 100 kinds of rock music in the hearts of 100 people. Different people playing the same song will present completely different performances due to factors such as techniques, habits, life experiences, and mood.

On the morning stage of the festival's first day, a group of unique individuals are showcasing their music to the world. Besides the main venue performances tonight and tomorrow, all other performances, both large and small, will be broadcast free to the world, providing excellent publicity for the musicians, the organizers, and a catalyst for future music.

As one of the biggest stages, competition is also fiercest, with newcomers and veterans taking the stage, hotshots and unknowns taking turns. In theory, all invitees and qualified individuals can apply for the grand stage, but not everyone has the courage to showcase themselves before the eyes of the world.

We want them to get the world's attention without over-praising or suppressing them, and we've taken great pains to arrange the timing of their appearances. As for whether they will become obscure background figures or rising stars that command the world's attention, that depends on their own performance.

“…Here it comes.”

The man leaning against the wall opened his eyes. Even in this dimly lit backstage alley, his eyes shone brightly, far more dazzling than any electric gadget. More confident than before, his eyes now blazed like the sun, blazing brightly and making it difficult to look directly at them.

"I thought it was a kitten that sneaked in, but it turned out to be Ping Xin~"

"Why are you here?!"

"Brother Pingxin, unauthorized personnel are prohibited from entering the backstage area. Run away before you are discovered!"

"That's it!"

"Haha, you're still as unpredictable as ever."

Ping Xin felt the surprised tone, the unconcealable joy, the slight worry that followed, the anxiety, uneasiness and fear beneath the calm appearance.

"Since I showed up here early to wait, I'm definitely here to cheer you on. I can't be asking for an autograph, right?"

Ping Xin looked over and saw—

Seeing that the usually clever and eccentric girl with a naturally dark side, Aoba Moka's hands were trembling slightly, the rebellious red-haired beauty Takeran was completely non-aggressive today, like a suckling baby animal that was startled by external stimuli. As a serious person, it was normal for Hanazawa Tsugumi to feel pressure. Uehara Himari's usually cheerful personality was no longer cheerful at this moment. Even the straightforward Ueda Gawa Tomoe now showed an expression of asking for help like a little girl.

Without exception, everyone breathed a sigh of relief the moment he appeared.

At that moment, Hirayuko felt a surge of remorse, for he had thought it was better to just arbitrarily arrange their paths. Even if he had discussed this with them and had gained their unanimous agreement, sending these girls, who hadn't even entered high school yet, onto a world-class battlefield (stage) was still a cruel act.

If Ping Xin hadn't appeared, they would probably be gathering in the shopping district, practicing, or planning a small performance in a livehouse somewhere. It would be impossible for them to be on such a big stage at this time and at this age.

In the long run, this is undoubtedly good, but it may not be good for me personally.

"...If you're scared, you can leave now. To preserve the fun and prevent accidents, the program list is only circulated internally and not released. There will also be a delay of several minutes in the broadcast.

...First of all, I want to praise you. You have done your best to get here. However, you are not yet ready to step onto such a stage——

Here, every subtle movement, expression, playing technique, clothing, even the thread on your clothes and the food residue on your teeth will be seen and recorded by the whole world, and will be semi-permanently preserved online."

As expected, they retreated in fear. Their hearts raced, their breathing quickened, yet their bodies felt no heat. Their faces turned blue, their bodies soaked through with sweat, their costumes soaked. Their hands trembled slightly, and everything from their toes to their fingers felt numb, as if they had been poisoned by a chronic poison. They couldn't muster even a shred of strength or courage.

"...Don't...don't underestimate us! We are Afterglow. We relied on our own strength to break through the auditions and get here--"

"But that's just 'luck'. Even bands stronger than yours have been eliminated. Qualifying isn't just about talent... popularity, appearance, song style, overall contribution, or even... I—
