Chapter 848 Peter Pan Was Right
The closing performance of Day 1 was approaching eight o'clock, and almost an hour had passed since the concert started.
The previous arrangement was not much different from some previous performances.
However, from the feelings of many audience members who had participated in other performances, they could clearly feel that Jiang Yuan was in very good condition that day, and his performance of each song was very attentive and accurate.
During the talking segment, Jiang Yuan had just changed her clothes and stood on the stage. She wore a white cable-knit sweater, paired with warm brown kendo pants and blonde hair. Visually, she exuded a late autumn atmosphere.
At this time, standing in the center of the stage, Jiang Yuan raised his wrist to check the time, and also mentioned the new song to the fans at the scene.
"Today's performance is almost over in an hour, and it will be eight o'clock soon." Jiang Yuan had just said this time when the fans in the audience reacted immediately and started cheering and screaming.
Jiang Yuan listened to the live sound and smiled. "From everyone's reaction, I think you have all seen the studio's preview of the new song, right?"
This was a question that obviously had a clear answer, so Jiang Yuan did not wait for a response from the audience and continued talking on his own.
"The title of this new song is "Peter Pan Was Right". If you have been paying attention, you should have seen the cover of the single in advance. If you haven't seen it, I can show it to you now."
As Jiang Yuan finished speaking, the single cover began to appear on the big screen at the scene.
The entire cover is dominated by the blue color of the sky, and among the blue clouds is a scene of Jiang Yuan wearing a green top and floating above the clouds.
The two colors create a strong visual impact, and combined with the name of the song, the entire cover has a dreamy tone.
"That's about it," Jiang Yuan pointed at the big screen and continued, "This is the latest single in our single plan for this month."
"In fact, when we first launched this single project, we wanted to keep releasing new works every month, and then unknowingly complete the release of our second English album."
“But as I released a few songs, I gradually began to feel that I could release some songs with a more appropriate atmosphere based on the changes in climate and my mood.”
Before the concert began, Jiang Yuan also shared some of his ideas about the monthly single plan with fans.
"This time, this song 'Peter Pan Was Right' is such a single that I want to share with everyone." Jiang Yuan said as he started walking on the stage.
"Peter Pan Was Right" is a hit single from singer Anson Seabra, and it is also a very healing song.
In the center of the stage, a piano specially customized for the Chapter Tour was also carried out.
In the past, there would be some piano-playing and singing parts in the arrangements of concerts, but later on, the piano was used more frequently in the song-requesting session.
Walking step by step to the bench in front of the black and white piano and sitting down, Jiang Yuan began to introduce this single to the fans present.
"Everyone should have heard the story of Peter Pan to some extent. Of course, in case some people haven't heard it, I will give you a brief introduction before the performance begins."
"In just over a minute, everyone will hear this song in sync with the release of the new song."
"I hope everyone can relax and immerse themselves in this three-minute piece of music. A music video specially made for the song will be played on the big screen to help everyone get into the mood of the song."
Jiang Yuan looked at the time again and explained to the fans at the scene what they needed to do when listening to the song.
Then he plugged the microphone into the microphone stand, sat in front of the piano, and began to tell the fans the story of Peter Pan.
“Peter Pan is a little boy who never grows up. He lives in a dreamy Neverland, where he has endless adventures and surprises.”
“One day, Peter Pan invited a human girl named Wendy to come to Neverland to start an adventure together.”
As Jiang Yuan began to tell the story, the lights at the scene gradually dimmed, and the big screen began to show Jiang Yuan's story in the form of simple animation to help fans understand.
Due to time constraints, Jiang Yuan was not able to tell the entire fairy tale in full and could only describe a general story outline.
“Life on the island is full of excitement and fun, but the girl Wendy always misses home and finally chooses to leave Neverland and face growth.”
"Peter Pan continues to stay on Neverland, guarding the dreams of one child after another."
"That's probably the story. As time goes by, we start to grow up and gain more life experience."
In fact, the whole performance officially began when Jiang Yuan started telling the story.
The recitation was like an introduction, leading the fans at the scene to calm down and immerse themselves in the atmosphere of the performance.
Following the recitation, with almost no pause, Jiang Yuan placed his hands on the black and white keys and began to sing.
"I guess Peter Pan was right, growing up's a waste of time,
so I think I'll fly away, set a course for brighter days
(I think Peter Pan was right when he said that growing up is a waste of time.
So I think I'll fly high and far, set my course to better days)"
The gentle piano music flowed through Jiang Yuan's fingertips, and he leaned close to the microphone and began to sing softly.
There was no prelude to the song, and the singing started directly. When Jiang Yuan sang the song, his voice automatically activated the buff of healing sound.
It was as if soft clouds enveloped the audience at the scene. The LED floor screen of the entire stage also lit up, transforming into an appearance exactly the same as the single cover. There was an animation of slowly flowing clouds in the dreamy blue sky, giving people a sense of tranquility.
"Find the second star I'm soaring,
Then straight on to the morning
(I soar through the sky in search of a second planet to live on, and head forward to greet the arrival of the morning.)"
Jiang Yuan played and sang. After being stunned for a moment when Jiang Yuan opened his voice, the audience quickly immersed in the song.
Although the lyrics of the song are in English, the Chinese lyrics were thoughtfully translated for the fans on the big screen, and there was also an animation specially made for the song playing, which allowed fans to understand the message that Jiang Yuan wanted to convey in his singing.
Under Jiang Yuan's control, the start time of the concert was only a few seconds away from the time the song was released.
When Jiang Yuan was singing live, there were also more fans who were listening to the song through music players and immersed in the scene.
Jiang Yuan sat in front of the piano, playing and singing a piece. The first part was introduced with the chorus of the song, like a beautiful narrative poem, bringing the audience into the situation.
After this section of the chorus ended, drum beats were added to the accompaniment of the song. Jiang Yuan also stood up from the piano, took off the microphone, and started singing the first verse.
"Just a lost boy in a small town, I'm the same kid but I'm grown now,
Try to make it out but I don't know how
(I was just a lost boy in a small town, I was a child but now I am a man,
Trying to succeed but failing.)"
Jiang Yuan walked around the piano, and the singing became faster with the addition of drum beats, and it was no longer as slow as the first part.
With the help of translation, the fans at the scene, like those waiting for the new song to be released, were able to receive the emotions that Jiang Yuan wanted to convey in her singing. Facing the eternal theme of growth, it was hard not to resonate with the lyrics.
"Now it's late night and I'm at home, so I make friends with my shadow,
And play him all my sad sad songs
(It is late at night and I am at home with my shadow as my companion, singing all my sad songs to him)
In line with the content of Jiang Yuan’s singing, the animation on the big screen also outlines and depicts the corresponding scenes.
Being alone in the dead of night is also a common emo situation in life.
At this time, the cheering lights in the hands of the fans also emit warm lights, like a warm company.
Jiang Yuan stood there and looked around, taking in the scene, and sang along,
"And we don't talk but he sings along like
(We were silent, but he hummed)"
Jiang Yuan held the microphone and sang, then raised one hand and gestured in the air, and the tone of his singing also changed.
"Ooh ooh~ooh ooh~ooh~
Fairytales are not the truth, what am I supposed to do,
Mm~mm Mm~
(Fairy tales aren’t real, what should I do?)”
Jiang Yuan began to sing with a softer voice, and at the same time encouraged the fans at the scene to gently wave the cheering lights in their hands.
The change in timbre at this moment made the fans at the scene close their eyes involuntarily. At this moment, they felt as if they were immersed in the singing.
I completely felt my soul being cleansed and floating in the air along with the song.
"I guess Peter Pan wa right"
After this part, Jiang Yuan started singing the chorus of the song again. The accompaniment included drum beats compared to the first part, which gave a different listening experience to fans.
The melody was already somewhat familiar, and the fans at the scene were able to follow the rhythm of the song and waved their cheering sticks. Looking down from the stage, it looked like a sea of glowing lights with ripples caused by the breeze.
At the same time, there were more listeners who felt the same way as the audience at the performance.
Both of them heard this song for the first time, but one was listening to it live and the other was listening to it through headphones, so each had different subtle feelings.
Fans who listen through headphones have a greater sense of being immersed in the world of the song.
The emotional resonance is more immersive. While listening to the melody, I can think of some of my own life experiences based on the lyrics.
The audience at the scene, more like what Jiang Yuan said, let go of their emotions and immersed themselves in the performance.
"Days feel like a blur now, still feel eighteen but I'm burnt out,
So I daydream of what I could be, if I turned back time to a storyline
(Nowadays, I feel that my future is bleak. I still feel like I am 18 years old, but I am exhausted.
So I fantasized about what kind of person I could become and wanted to turn back time)"
After another chorus ended, the singer quickly entered the second verse of the song.
The lyrics seem to express the thoughts that many people have had in their hearts, which makes people resonate emotionally.
Being confused and not wanting to grow up, feeling tired and having inner fantasies are situations that often occur in life.
“Where my mom read me a tale where a couple kids one girl and a sailor
(Back to the moment when my mother told me the story, the story went like this,
A group of children, a girl and a sailor.)"
The lyrics mention elements related to the fairy tale of Peter Pan, and the animation on the big screen also synchronously displays the animated images of these elements, making the lyrics concrete at this moment.
It also makes the whole stage more fairy-tale-like, with the characters trembling on the big screen in the form of stickers, looking light and childlike.
"I guess Peter Pan was right"
When the chorus was sung for the third time, Jiang Yuan led the audience to wave together.
After repeating it twice, the audience had become more familiar with the melody of the chorus of the song. When Jiang Yuan was singing, they were able to follow the rhythm of the song and sway or wave the cheering lights in their hands.
The singing of another chorus soon ended, and Jiang Yuan stood back beside the piano.
There is a small area in the center of the stage that can be raised and lowered.
Just when Jiang Yuan was singing the bridge section of the song, the stage slab under his feet began to slowly rise.
"And I don't care if I never land
(I don’t care if I make it to Neverland)”
As the stage rose, the lights on the entire stage began to become brighter and brighter, as if beams of light penetrated the thick clouds and illuminated the stage.
Jiang Yuan was standing at the edge of the lift and singing. With the melody of the song, his aura was like that of a helmsman who had just set sail.
"Cause the distant sky's always better than, my life right now and the place I am,
So for one last time I guess Peter Pan.
(Because the distant sky is always better than my current life and the place where I stand,
So I’ll say it one last time, I think)”
With the accompaniment of drum beats and bell sounds, Jiang Yuan completed the bridge section of the song.
If the previous part of the singing was like a healing session, then this part was like giving everyone the courage to continue after the healing.
After the bridge segment, Jiang Yuan sat back on the bench in front of the piano.
But he didn't face the piano, he just sat there and sang the last chorus of the song.
"I guess Peter Pan was right"
Just like the original performance, there was only the sound of the piano as accompaniment, but to the audience, the mood of the songs before and after were quite different.
"I know that I'll be fine,
Cause I know Peter Pan was right.
(I know I will be speechless because I know Peter Pan is right.)”
Jiang Yuan's final singing, with a sense of relief and relaxation, ended the entire song.
