Chinese Version: You move forward like the seasons, I move forward like Greyson Chance

演唱会前一天开始的紧张,激动,焦虑,幸福,期待,不安。真实的五味杂陈。他作为我的最初留美动机,我担心在见到他的那一刻,会因“完成了一个长久以来的人生目标”而失落不知去处。 但今天,却是开启了另一个起点。 曾以为这次是和过去的自己道别,让他只属于曾经;殊不知,我在他身上找到了新的人生目标。除了最开始见到他时莫名流下的眼泪,看完整场演唱会,更多是充满平静而强大的信念和力量,还有感动。没有曾经担忧的陌生感,他真的就像一个真实的老朋友。他一直走在成为一个优秀全能而独特的音乐家的路上,总有一天我会成为像他一样优秀的音乐家,和他在同一舞台歌唱。我也一直在我的路上。 他对音乐事业的努力和认真的态度,以及背后的心血,都在这一个小时中展露无遗。 这几年的低调沉默,终于成为今天重出江湖的伏笔。演唱会效果完全超乎预期的感人和震撼。自信稳重张弛有度的台风,实力的唱功,意味深长的歌词,恰到好处的曲调,配上他独特真假声线。整场演唱会,每一刻都渲染着他自己的色泽。他已然将自己打磨成一块玉,没有刺眼的光芒,却努力地成为自己。温润平静,却坚韧倔强。 I can see something pure and clean inside of him, no matter how time changes. 他内心的善良正直,我认为是来自于纯朴的家乡和家庭的爱与教育。他身上有桀骜的不羁,却没有放荡的痞气。 He knows what is right. 他的歌词没有纸醉金迷大金链子,有的是和最爱的人的对话,是给困境中友人的鼓励,是对每一天对人生的思考。 他说他去年第一次感受到“爱”。他从未体验过这样的感情,想和他结婚,抚养孩子。但当那个人说不想再和他在一起时,他经历了前所未有的绝望。于是他把这份绝望化成力量,写成了今天的新专辑portraits。 他的一首歌,写的是他妈妈曾经对他讲,希望若有一天她离开了,他会是一个good man. 他小时候在公众场合骂脏话,被妈妈严厉批评,说那是boy才做的事,而她,只想培养a man. 他说,成长中最棒的一件事,是developing the perspective of how life works. It’s constantly…

You move forward like the seasons, I move forward like Greyson Chance
