After a breakup, a song heals the world

Chapter 8 Depression and healing. Souls who share the same suffering.

In his previous life, Su Yan was just a street singer.

With such an identity, he is not even considered a musician, let alone being exposed to real academic music.

In fact, in the past, some well-known music schools did not look down on pop music.

Majors like vocal performance also involve folk, bel canto or opera music performances.

As for this parallel world, there are not so many rules and contempt chains.

The Department of Vocal Performance includes a major in Popular Music.

This is also the reason why pop singers have a higher status in this world.

Therefore, one can imagine the shock that Su Yan's just-spoken words brought to the teachers.

The middle-aged man sitting next to the old professor Yan Zhijian is named Jiang Ji.

In the circle, he is a well-known vocal educator.

At his current age, he cannot be said to have many students all over the world, but he has produced many students who are famous in the music world.

After listening to the candidate's singing, he was even more amazed by the way the other party processed his voice.

Generally speaking, the melody pitch of boys' songs is relatively not that high.

This is the so-called key, which is relatively low.

But the tone of the opening note of this song is no longer a high note that a boy's natural voice can handle.

But this candidate performed it with a unique falsetto.

It doesn't have the heart-wrenching, crazy high notes of many love songs, but instead is completed with a tone that sounds almost soul-cleansing.

The sound is so clean and sad that it makes people feel distressed...

Su Yan on the stage naturally had no idea about the identities and thoughts of these teachers.

He just got lost in the song.

If a song is touching enough, you will always hear this sentence.

When you first hear it, you don’t understand the meaning of the song, but when you listen to it again, you become one with the song.

For Su Yan, he could relate to this sentence even more.

He had also covered this song in his previous life.

I just think this song is very sad and desperate.

But now, I have the memory of sinking to the bottom of the sea. Even if I am also a depression patient, it is not as clear as if I really "watched" him sinking to the bottom of the sea.

So, when Su Yan opened his mouth again, his singing voice was filled with a hint of heartache and... remembrance...

"The waves wet your white clothes~trying to push you back~~~"

"The waves wash away the blood~I wish I could warm you~~~"

"Whose wailing is guiding~"

"The soul sinks into silence~~"

No one woke you up~~~"

They are sad.

Sad to the point of losing hope for the future.

This is especially true for the young boy who walked into the sea at night.

He once tried to hurt himself to make himself feel better.

This world...

The world is gentle, and the sea is gentle too.

The sea water tried to wash away the blood from the wound.

But this gentle world tries every possible means to keep you.

In order to keep you from seeing the world again and feeling its gentleness, he still sank gently to the bottom of the sea.

This body now belongs to Su Yan.

Even though the boy with the same name retained his memory, his soul sank to the bottom of the sea and slept forever.

No one woke him up...

………………

Below the stage, a middle-aged female teacher with short hair and melancholy eyes was carefully pondering the melody and lyrics of the song.

Being able to sit here, her identity is also not simple.

Wei Li is a famous Chinese soprano and a PhD in folk vocal music.

For the singer, the assessment actually became less important when he heard this.

Because the technique and timbre of this song have reached a very high professional level.

Now, he is more concerned about the emotions that the song itself wants to express.

If Teacher Yan had not mentioned before that this candidate had committed suicide by jumping into the sea due to depression.

She didn't have that deep understanding of the song.

This feeling is just like what she taught her son, who is still in elementary school, when he was writing essays - don't make up stories, but try to write about your own experiences. Only such stories can truly touch others.

The same is true for this song.

This song titled "Under the Sea" should be classified as an independent folk song.

In a broad sense, songs that are popular among the people and have national characteristics are called folk songs.

As music develops.

The so-called Chinese independent folk songs are mostly the kind that not only give people an auditory impact but also bring huge spiritual thinking to people. People seem to be intoxicated by this kind of independent songs.

In Wei Li's opinion, this song is written in the second person. On the surface, it tells the story of a teenager drowning in the sea, but in fact... it is a way to show others the inner thoughts of people with depression.

This feeling...how can I describe it?

It gave her a contradictory feeling, sad and depressed, but also somewhat gentle and melancholy.

However, she understood why she had such contradictory thoughts.

No matter what kind of emotion it is, only when you truly understand it and empathize with it, can you enter into the heart of that emotion, right?

The same is true in reverse.

A sad, desperate, and painful person can only be gently healed if he is understood and empathized with.

In her opinion, a song can heal depression.

Wei Li's eyes fell on the information on the table and the name of the candidate.

And recalled the dream the boy had mentioned before - to heal the world with his singing.

Su Yan...

An experience of suicide due to depression can lead to the creation and singing of such a song.

Perhaps this young man will really realize such an unattainable dream.

But how would she know?

The young boy who once was, sleeps forever at the bottom of the sea.

Inside the body of the current teenager is an older soul that is just as sad, but has experienced more.

Su Yan, who was on the stage, suddenly thought of the night at the end of the year in his previous life.

On New Year's Eve, he, who had no relatives, did not stay in a cheap rental house.

Perhaps he felt that the sound of firecrackers outside was too loud, and that it would accidentally destroy his fragile loneliness.

Or perhaps the lights from the reunion parties were too bright, making him nowhere to hide in the shadows in the corner.

So, he took the guitar that had accompanied him for many years and went to the street.

I played the guitar quietly all night, no passers-by stopped, and all the singing was destined to drown out the warmth in the cold wind.

Until the New Year's bell rang at midnight.

He lay on his back on the street.

The fireworks in the night sky bloomed and then disappeared, and their reflections in his eyes seemed to be submerged in the ocean thousands of meters deep.

That kind of loss may be like another night.

The boy slowly walked towards the sea.

The moonlight shines on the sea, making it look snow-white.

The world is lonely... like a snow avalanche.

He and he...

Compassion for each other.

"You like the salty smell of the sea breeze~"

"Walking on the wet gravel~"

"You said people's ashes should be scattered in the sea~"

"You asked me where I would go after I died~"

"Does anyone love you~"

"Will the world no longer..."
