Chapter 384: Chapter 363: Meeting You in My Lifetime Seems to Have Exhausted All My Lucky Chances_1
“What a coincidence.”
Ling Feng muttered, casually putting on his headphones and clicked play.
If it hadn’t been for the bashing on the leaderboard from the Xianyu Army, Ling Feng would have admitted he really liked the song “Ten Years”.
Now that the song had a Qi language version, Ling Feng was naturally curious to listen to it.
Wait a second.
Ling Feng suddenly smelled something fishy.
If he was interested in this version, wouldn’t other fans who liked “Ten Years” feel the same?
This realization gave Ling Feng a slight panic.
Just as Ling Feng was hit by this worry, a voice filled his ears, beautifying the Qi language:
“If this chandelier falls down or if I cease to exist, even if you don’t love, no need to part…”
Thump.
His heart sank.
Ling Feng’s panic escalated slightly.
Despite the familiar melody, the song sounded alien to Ling Feng accompanied by the lyrics sung in Qi language.
The singing continued:
“If at this moment, I am severely silly, not needing to be loved at all, forever dreaming on my bed, no more sadness for the rest of my life…”
Ling Feng’s expression hardened.
The sense of alienation became even stronger!
He even doubted, is this really “Ten Years”?
It’s only a change of lyrics…
Lyrics!
Ling Feng’s eyes became piercing, glued to the flashing lyrics on the computer screen. It was just transitioning into the chorus:
“People always need to live bravely; I make a new wish, like learning to bear the pain of heartbreak…”
Ling Feng’s back stiffened slightly.
Despite the functioning air conditioner, he felt colder.
The chorus of “Next Year, Today” echoed in his ears. The climax of the song seemed like a cold gust of wind blasting into his brain, leaving him chilled:
“Next Year, Today, no more insomnia bed sheets have changed.”
“Should we be lucky to meet up or at a friend’s wedding banquet, anxiously waiting for your appearance.”
“Next Year, Today, haven’t seen you for a year, who would change willingly, leaving you for sixty years, but I wish to recognize your offspring and hear you say goodbye at the farewell.”
Ling Feng wrapped himself tighter in his thin pajamas, he wanted to cry but couldn’t.
He didn’t know whether it was because he was moved by the song, or for some other reason.
Anyway, the song wasn’t even finished, and Ling Feng felt like he was fading away.
Ling Feng’s emotions suddenly surged.
Deception!
It’s Starlight’s deception!
This is not a lyric-altered version of “Ten Years” at all!
It’s clearly a completely new song. From the emotions it conveys to the singing style and the thematic expression, they are completely different!
If there’s anything most similar about the two songs, it’s definitely not the melody!
It’s the fact that…
Both songs were highly enjoyable and were equally excellent!
This Fish is way too abnormal!
How in the world did he manage to make a song sound absolutely different by simply changing the lyrics, not lacking the original version?
This question, at the end of the song, seemed to have found its answer.
“In the instant that I could meet you, I used up all my luck. It wasn’t until today that I realized, I had once breathed air.”
Ling Feng was suddenly not agitated anymore.
The melancholic and helpless ending note was followed by solitary chords that were still spinning with the music notes. For a while, Ling Feng was somewhat lost.
From start to finish, he never noticed that he had set the air conditioner to cold wind.
…
During the late nights when Ling Feng happened to be playing this song, many others, like Ling Feng, out of their love for “Ten Years,” listened to the so-called Qi language version.
Just as Ling Feng had anticipated.
But as more and more people listened to the Qi language version of “Ten Years” for various reasons, they all had the same conclusion:
This is not the Qi language version of “Ten Years”!
This song should have its own name, it should be called “Next Year, Today”!
Since then, the comments on this song had been completely overwhelmed.
The hottest comment with the most likes was:
“Everyone says that Xian Yu is a master of composing music, almost forgot that Xian Yu’s lyric writing is also at a master level!”
The subsequent praised comments were even more complimentary.
“My God, [In the instant that I could meet you, I used up all my luck], I’ve written lyrics for songs as well, but I won’t be able to come up with these kinds of lyrics even if all my brain cells died!”
“When I listened to “Ten Years,” I didn’t cry. But when I listened to this song, I was in tears.”
“Before I played this song, I thought I was going to re-listen to “Ten Years”, but after I finished, I realized that what I had listened to was “Next Year, Today”.”
“Personally, I think “Next Year, Today” sounds better than “Ten Years”!”
“Personal taste doesn’t represent popular taste, both the songs have no high or low,different mood, different brilliance.”
“Who would’ve thought that Xian Yu could create an entirely different song just by changing the lyrics!”
“I never liked Qi language songs, but why has “Next Year, Today” become an exception?”
“I’ve only gotten a rough understanding of it, looking at the lyrics while listening to it, I felt myself getting intoxicated.”
“…”
At the same time.
Some Qi people’s groups were also passionately discussing it:
“Go and listen to “Next Year, Today”! My God, the song is so good!”
“Are you talking about our Qi language version of “Ten Years”? It’s just a normal song, I don’t feel anything when I listen.”
“Go and listen, you’ll understand it’s absolutely wonderful.”
“I didn’t feel anything for Maestro Junior earlier, even when people around me hyped him up, I thought it was exaggerated. Perhaps because I’ve only listened to Qi language songs since I was young. After hearing “Next Year, Today” today, I realize that Xian Yu is genuinely amazing!”
“Ahhh, I really hope Xian Yu can release a few more Qi language songs!”
“Xian Yu has had Qi language songs before, “Everywhere Kisses” huh.
“And “Like You” right? He wrote both the music and lyrics.”
“No way, those songs were written by Xian Yu? I thought they were our Qi people’s songs!”
“We Qi people only did the singing, Xian Yu’s Qi language song skill has always been high, the song “Next Year, Today” has blown you guys who don’t listen to Mandarin songs to the ends of the earth.”
“Ahem, I’m back, it truly is wonderful.”
“…”
Everything seemed to be scripting back to ten days ago.
It felt like the time when “Ten Years” had just been released, everywhere was filled with discussions about Xian Yu’s new song.
And this time around, apart from Qin and Chu, countless Qi people had also been added to the discussions!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The big V’s on the forums and blogs had started their overnight marathon again.
The music critics had once again begun to burn the midnight oil.
And Xian Yu’s name was once again making headlines in a grand way.
The original song was named “Ten Years”.
But everyone went from shock to further shock, in just a span of ten days.
Through “Next Year, Today”, for the first time, the energy everyone spent on discussing the lyrics of Xian Yu’s song, surpassed the energy spent on discussing Xian Yu’s composition!
Of course.
No need to mention the fact that many people changed their profile statuses to “In the instant that I could meet you, I used up all my luck” that night.
In front of the tremendous vibration brought about by “Next Year, Today,” along with the change in lyrics and the singer’s pronunciation, this was merely the tip of the iceberg.
