Lisko's American life
Chapter 89 Street Performance
The square reserved an area dedicated to street performances. Lisko paid the money in accordance with the instructions and linked his speakers and microphones.
Someone saw that they were planning to perform and sing, and they were already waiting next to him. Lisko followed the rules and opened the guitar box in front of the microphone.
Strict street performers also need to make a songbook that they are good at and put them in front, so that tourists can order songs, but it is omitted here in Lisko.
I tried the audition, and the guitar was well maintained by Karoo. I didn't need to tune it. Lisko tried the posture and was ready to perform.
A melodious guitar prelude sounded, and several visitors stopped in front of him.
Li Sike’s clear singing came from the microphone, "It’s like heaven, West Virginia
Lanling Mountain, Shenandoah River
Life there is older than trees."
After Lisko was reborn, not only did his physical condition satisfy him, but his voice was also beyond his expectations. In his previous life, he liked to sing, but he was embarrassed to show it to others and hummed it alone.
Under busy work, he can also spare time to learn guitar, which shows his love for music.
He feels that music, like words, can bring emotions to people.
Of course there are good movies.
The song now being sung is the representative work of singer John Denver. He is a veteran country singer in the United States and is also known as the "synonym of country music."
The song Liske liked was discovered when he was listening to the song while writing some time ago. The main content is about the yearning and yearning for the rural life. It can also reflect the joyful scene of being on the country road from the song. Li Sike played this melodious song in the ranch, and he felt very relaxed as he listened to the singing of the song.
The prosperity of the metropolis is always the same, but the beauty of the countryside can always unwittingly capture every creature that belongs to nature.
Li Sike always praises this view.
There are more and more people staying here. Lisko's voice is clear and translucent, and he expresses the song well.
The piano case in front of him has scattered some tips, which is a good start.
After singing a song, the crowd has applauded, and Li Sko's usually relaxed face is stained with shame.
The feeling of performing alone at home is different from that of being in front of a group of people. Lisko did not have this experience, and subconsciously felt a little shy.
He took out the water in his backpack, unscrewed it and took a sip, moisturizing his throat.
After thinking about it carefully, he played another piece of music that he heard the most since childhood.
The prelude is a chord with a cheerful rhythm.
"People say you are leaving the village
I will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
I know you will take away all the sunshine
It used to light my way."
This song is Garrison's cowboy song. Lisko often played this song at home when he was a child. This is also the chorus song that is indispensable for cowboy gatherings. Colt and Rooster are also familiar with this song.
This is a Canadian folk song. The main content is about reclaiming wasteland and farming land, building homes, developing cities, and finally turning the bison-infested wasteland into people's homes. It also has a cowboy love story.
It is the favorite song of the Bo generation. They are riding on horseback, humming this song and pasturing, and they live very freely.
This kind of relaxing music can also resonate with tourists, as you can see from the increasing tips in front of you.
Lisko slowly began to let go, his body swaying with the guitar.
Having sung a few songs, Lisko felt a little tired. He planned to sing the last one and leave.
Because of the limited space in the square, Lisko only paid one hour when he came in. After all, he was just a cameo. For this reason, it wouldn't be nice to delay other singers who really earn a living by selling and getting hungry tonight.
The last one intended to stir up the atmosphere and make people lively, he chose a song "Take Me to Your Heart" that everyone would sing.
As a very popular English song in 2006, Lisko certainly knew that this song was a kiss goodbye from the singer.
"Hiding in the rain and snow
Try to forget, but how can I leave like this
Watching the bustling street
But I can only hear my heartbeat
So many people in the world
Please tell me where I can find a girl like you
Keep me in my heart with your soul"
This song is adapted by singer duo Mike Xue and is well-known in areas where English is fluent.The brisk rhythm, compared with the version of the song god, is less lamentable, a little more affectionate, the arrangement is fresh and beautiful, and the lyrics are easy to understand, so it is easy to sing.Even if you don't know the name of this song, you might have heard a clip of it on which street corner on the side of the road.
"Keep me in my heart with your soul
Give me your hand before i get old
Ask what love is before we leave each other
Ask a miracle to stage"
The crowd is already humming, and the catchy rhythm makes people can't help but harmonize.
After the song ended, applause sounded again, Lisko bowed, packed his luggage, and the crowd began to disperse.
"Hey." Just after Lisko finished installing, he heard a crisp sound.
Looking up, there are several people holding musical instruments. Two girls and two boys are a four-person group. They should be students depending on their age.
"I'll be leaving soon." Liske explained, he could see that this band-type performance team rented a place later.
"It's okay," the leading boy wearing a leather jacket, seemed very enthusiastic to talk to Lisko.
"My name is Jayne. We have been watching you for a long time. Your voice is very crisp. It's really a great performance."
Lisko was a little confused, "Thank you."
"Don't get me wrong, I'm from the British, and I travel here. They are all my classmates."
Jayne's short red hair looks very artistic, and Lisko looked at other companions, they all looked outstanding.
"Hello, just call me Li. I'm an American and I'm here to travel."
Although Lisko's mentality is a bit old, the people he deals with are people in their 30s and 40s, so his behavior and methods can't help but be a little serious.But his actual age was just twenty-four, which was when others graduated from college.
After talking, Lisko learned that another boy was named Patton, the two girls with blond hair were called Isabella, and the one with brown hair was called Salis.
They are a British electronic band. They are both students of the University of the Arts in London. They travel here during the holidays, and they can earn some travel expenses by performing along the way.
Li Ske certainly doesn't believe that they are a family with no money. Looking at how many people are dressed, they all know that they have a deep background, and a few who have learned art are from ordinary families.
