Lisko’s American Life

Chapter 88 Street Performance

There is an area reserved for street performances in the square, and Lisko paid the money according to the guidelines, and connected his own stereo and microphone.

Someone saw that they planned to perform and sing, and they were already waiting. Lisko followed the rules and placed the guitar case in front of the microphone.

Strict street performers also need to make a songbook they are good at and put it in front, so that tourists can order songs, but they are all omitted here in Lisko.

Tried the sound test, the guitar was well maintained by Karoo, and there was no need for tuning. Lisko tried the posture and was ready to start performing.

A melodious guitar prelude sounded, and several tourists who came and went stopped in front of him.

Lisko's clear singing came out of the microphone, "It's like heaven, West Virginia

Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River

Life there is older than the trees. "

After Lisko was reborn, he was not only satisfied with his physical condition, but also his voice was beyond his expectations. He liked to sing in his previous life, but he was embarrassed to perform it for others, so he hummed it by himself.

Under the busy work, he can still spare time to learn guitar, which shows his love for music.

He feels that music, like words, can bring people emotional fluctuations.

And of course good movies.

The song I'm singing now is the representative work of singer John Denver. He is an old American country singer and is also known as "the synonym of country music".

The song Lisko likes was discovered while listening to the song while writing some time ago. The main content is about the yearning and longing for rural life, and it can reflect a cheerful scene of being on a country road from his singing. Lisko played this melodious song in the ranch, listening to the singer's emotional chanting, he felt very relaxed.

The prosperity of the metropolis is always the same, but the beauty of the countryside can always capture every creature that belongs to nature unintentionally.

Liskot always approves of this point of view.

More and more people are staying, and Lisko's voice is clear and translucent, which is very good to express this song immersively.

The piano case in front of him already had some scattered tips, which was a good start.

After a song was sung, the crowd had already applauded, and Lisko's usually relaxed face was stained with shyness.

The feeling of performing at home by yourself is different from that in front of a group of people. Lisko has no such experience, and subconsciously feels a little shy.

He took out the water in his backpack, unscrewed it, took a sip, and moistened his throat.

After thinking about it carefully, he played another piece of music that he had listened to the most since he was a child.

The prelude is a chord with a cheerful rhythm.

"People say you're leaving the village

I will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile

I know you'll take all the sunshine

It has lighted my way. "

This song is Garrison's Cowboy Song, which was often played in Lisko's house when he was a child. It is also an indispensable chorus song for cowboy parties. Colt and Rooster are also familiar with this song.

This is a Canadian folk song. The main content is about reclaiming wasteland and farming, building homes, developing cities, and finally turning the wilderness infested by bison into homes for people to live in. It also has a cowboy love story.

It is the favorite song of Bo's generation. They rode on horseback, humming this song and grazing, living a very comfortable life.

This kind of relaxing music can also resonate with tourists, as can be seen from the increasing tips in front of them.

Lisko slowly began to let go, his body swaying with the playing of the guitar.

He had already sung a few songs, and Lisko also felt a little tired. He planned to sing the last one and leave.

Because the places on the square are limited, Lisko only paid for one hour when he came in. After all, he was only a guest star, so it would not be good to delay other singers who really make a living from singing and singing tonight.

The last song was intended to stir up the atmosphere and make people lively. He chose a song "Take Me to Your Heart" that everyone would hum.

As a very popular English song in 2006, Lisko certainly knew that this song was a cover of God's Goodbye.

"Hiding in the rain and snow

Trying to forget, but how can I just leave

looking at the bustling streets

but I can only hear my own heartbeat

so many people in the world

tell me where i can find a girl like you

Keep me in your heart with your soul"

This song was adapted by the singer group Mike Xue, and it is very famous in areas where English is fluent. Compared with Songshen's version, the brisk rhythm is less sad and more affectionate. The arrangement is fresh and pleasant, and the lyrics are easy to understand, so it is catchy to sing. Even if you don't know the name of this song, you may have heard a fragment of it on a street corner by the side of the road.

"Keep me in your heart with your soul

Give me your hand before I grow old

Ask what love is before we leave each other

Ask a miracle"

The crowd was already humming along, and the catchy rhythm made people couldn't help but join in.

At the end of the song, the applause sounded again, Lisko bowed, packed his luggage, and the crowd began to disperse.

"Hey." Just as Lisko finished pretending, he heard a crisp voice.

Looking up, there are several people holding musical instruments, two girls and two boys, a quartet of people, who should be students according to their age.

"I'll be leaving right away." Lisko explained, he could see that this orchestra-type performance team was rented by him later.

"It's okay," the leading boy was wearing a leather jacket, talking to Lisko enthusiastically.

"My name is Jayne. We have been watching you for a long time. Your voice is very crisp. It is really a great performance."

Lisko was a little confused, "Thank you."

"Don't get me wrong, I'm British and I'm here to travel, and they are all my classmates."

Jayne has short red hair and looks very artistic. Lisko looked at the other companions, and they all looked outstanding.

"Hi, 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 all in their 30s and 40s, so their behavior and methods are inevitably a bit serious. But his actual age was only twenty-four years old, which was when others graduated from university.

After chatting, Lisko knew another boy named Barton, two girls named Isabella with blond hair, and one with brown hair named Sharis.

They are a British electronic band, both students of the University of the Arts London, traveling here during the holidays, and performing along the way to earn some traveling expenses.

Of course, Lisko didn't believe that they were from a family without money. Looking at the clothes of several people, he knew that they had a strong background, and some of them who could learn art were from ordinary families.
