Lance's dropout also means that all the members of the planetary band have deviated from the right path that people at the time recognized in traditional thinking, and instead embarked on a crooked path.If they don't want to be regarded as the dregs of society in the future, they can only put all their eggs in one basket and focus on making a name for themselves through music to fully prove that their choice is right.

There is no way out!

Although everyone did not specifically discuss this matter, everyone knew clearly in their hearts: "It's time to play something real."

At this time, Lance's goddess of inspiration finally came long overdue.

She indirectly reminded everyone that as long as you find the trigger point, things will become easier.

And about quitting school...

There is no doubt that it is definitely a big trigger point, and it has successfully brought a lot of new ideas to Lance.

That night, he wrote a song smoothly and named it "Meretricious". After seeing James the next day, he excitedly handed over the notebook with the score and lyrics, and held the song in his arms. The guitar is ready to serve as an accompaniment, and let him try to sing to see where it doesn't fit, so that he can continue to modify it.

James took the notebook reflexively.

But he was dumbfounded just by seeing the title of the song: "Fuck, what is this word?"

There was a brief silence in the room.

James, who accidentally exposed something, smiled embarrassingly and concealedly.

Then, he wanted to pretend that what happened just now didn't happen, and with the intention of making amends, he began to open his eyes wide, staring straight at the lyrics in the notebook, trying his best to sing them out, but the more nervous he became, the more serious he became. not out.

Nervously, he scratched the lines of words with his fingers, trying to see clearly those obnoxious existences that were vague and dizzy, but his forehead was almost sweating, and it was completely useless.

It's about a few seconds that seem like a year...

Lance suddenly withdrew the notebook from his hand.

James didn't even have the nerve to look up, it was too embarrassing!

But in addition to the anger, anxiety and habitual grievances that rose up in my heart as always, there was also a hint of guilt.

Even though he'd never thought he couldn't read words before, what was there to feel guilty about?Human beings are not gods, and it is impossible to master all the skills. To put it bluntly, some people can't even drive a car in their entire life, and they can live a good life!But the problem is, if it's something that everyone can do easily except yourself, then it seems... well, it's really disappointing.

What's more, Lance was clearly looking forward to it just now.

"Everyone's bad at something, right, bro?" James interjected.

His green eyes looked around nervously, but he tried his best to ease the atmosphere, and said with a smile: "After all, I'm not as smart as you. But don't be too complacent, and don't take me for a fool because of this, I Just not that smart..."

But Lance didn't say anything.

His calm voice quickly rang in James' ears: "Meretricious (flashy). Break up with him, break up with him, he's not a real man..."

James was slightly taken aback, and immediately realized that the other party was reading the lyrics to himself, and raised his head in surprise.

Lance noticed his reaction.

He straightened his face, bent his fingers to tap his head, and said seriously: "Don't be distracted, listen carefully."

No disgust, no ridicule, no criticism...

No words that make you think "I might be a piece of crap"!

Yes!This fucking is my good brother!

James nodded with a smirk, heaved a sigh of relief, relaxed his body and mind, his green eyes were shining, and his tongue licked the two pointed canine teeth contentedly.

The next moment, he was like a happy and trusting puppy, wagging his tail and approaching him, and put his head on Lance's shoulder affectionately. While looking at the notebook with him, he pricked up his ears and concentrated on it. Listen to every line of the lyrics.

Then, following Lance's voice, those words that were unclear and incomprehensible in the past suddenly became clearer in the brain, as if a bolt of lightning finally split the ignorant and chaotic darkness, bringing a beam of light.

Only use it twice!

He memorized all the lyrics of the whole song, including the super difficult Meretricious.

Unbelievable!

Miraculous!

’ But the fact that Lance and I met and became good friends is a miracle in itself. ' James thought in his heart, and quietly thanked the giant muscle angel.

For the first time in his life, he prayed silently and sincerely: "Dude, I will never complain about you ruining my good life, and I will no longer dislike your huge muscles and sex! Thank you for everything you have done for me. If you do it again next time If you come to see me, please let me buy you a cup of tea."

The next thing is simple.

One of them played the guitar accompaniment, and the other sang happily. They cooperated with each other to slowly revise and carve the song into shape.

In a sense, the lyrics and music of this song are completely arranged by Lance.

But James' shadow is unavoidable in many places.

James has a gifted sensitivity to music.

He can always find those details and passages that sound inappropriate, react quickly, distill them out, and try to give suggestions in a somewhat clumsy way, such as "Would it be nice to have a higher pitch here? How about a False voice? Add a twist here to make it more layered" and so on.

Lance didn't casually reject any of the offers.

With an unimaginably humble attitude, after humbly accepting advice, he considered whether to adopt it or not. When he was sure that the suggestion was feasible, he took the trouble and racked his brains to revise the song back and forth.

Back and forth.

until both are satisfied!

Therefore, Lance secretly planned that when writing the signature of the songwriter, he must also add James' name at the end.

In addition, I have to talk about the content of this song.

In the tone of a secret lover, it persuades a girl to break up with her flashy boyfriend as soon as possible, and it is extremely harsh to enumerate all the pretentious and boring behaviors of that hypocritical man. ), owns a Rolls Royce (model), drinks Lafite (grape juice).So, finally... come with me, girl!I will take you to see and see what is true!male!people!

correct.

They also had some disputes over the title of the song.

James insists that Meretricious is not very grounded, it is neither in the middle school vocabulary, nor does it start with an A.

Therefore, he asked to change it to a simple name like 'abandon him, dump him, break up with him', which is easy to remember, but also very specific, clear at a glance, and full of momentum.

But Lance didn't want to change.

He thinks that "abandoning him, dumping him, breaking up with him" is simply vulgar, and the reason why James wants to change his name is purely out of selfishness, because he who didn't know the word at the beginning is the least familiar with it, And the most vindictive.

The most important thing is that the superficial meaning of this song is indeed as mentioned above, the arrogant secret lover openly persuades the girl to break up with her boyfriend.

But in fact, this is definitely not just a 'persuasion song', there are some other things in it.

Lance wasn't sure if James could guess.

He has the same troubles as everyone else, he wants to be understood, but he doesn't want to be seen through.But in the final analysis, no one likes to be alone, so the expectation of being understood may be greater.

In fact, James didn't disappoint him at all.

The moment he heard the lyrics, he knew what Lance was up to.

Lo and behold, the vengeful musical genius has let off steam.

The boyfriend who was about to break up was definitely a symbol of those diehards in the school management.He is extremely mean in his lyrics, ironically ridiculing them for pretending to be dignified all day long, pretending to be gentlemen, but the actual soul is boring and hollow, as cheap as plastic products, not to mention devils, even pigs will not eat them.Lifeless, essentially self-castrated, not a real man.

Of course, this is just speculation.

Whether this is exactly what it means needs to be carefully explored.

Therefore, one side is looking forward to it, and the other side wants to test it.

When James proposed "I'll sing it to you again", the two looked at each other with ghosts.

Lance looked at him thoughtfully, his fingers nimbly plucked on the guitar, and the prelude melody sounded smoothly again...

James tapped the time beside him solemnly, looking very serious, but when he was about to speak, he suddenly made a face at him.

So abrupt!

Lance was almost made to play the wrong string.

But before he could get angry, James winked and began to sing.

He deliberately re-interpreted the song with a very cheap voice, a damaged tone with a bit of a smirk.

"Break up with him! Break up with him! He's not a real—man—"

For example, when singing the second half of this line, he will draw a long and weird voice, deliberately pronounce the words in "not a real man" very clearly, and glance at the green eyes meaningfully...

This bastard!

It's like being hit in the heart by something!

Lance pursed his lips restrainedly, but his guitar played more and more smoothly.

They looked at each other silently, without any verbal communication at all.

Then, Lance raised the corners of his lips and began to smile.

James also showed a sly smile.

An indescribable joy flooded into my heart.

The world has never been the same.

That feeling is really wonderful!

In music, two people with different natures can achieve complete understanding, emotional resonance, and heart-to-heart connection.

For this reason, they also stared at each other for a long time.

But after singing the song, that wonderful feeling came to an abrupt end.

What's more, the two boys looked away at the same time, because...they are so motherly and disgusting!

Afterwards, they excitedly called Baldwin and Theo.

The four of them gathered in Theo's old garage and rehearsed the new song together.

Although Baldwin and Theo did not see through the inner meaning of the song at a glance like James.

But they also love the catchy song.

What's more, this song was written by Lance, and it only belongs to the Planetary Band.Even if it is out of a mentality of 'their own children are the best', they will never think it is bad.

Unexpectedly, during the official rehearsal, a magical feeling enveloped the entire band.

It was a feeling of great fit that had never been seen in previous rehearsals.

The band members are all doing their jobs with focus and enthusiasm.Baldwin's rhythmic drums for the whole song; Theo's bass followed up step by step; Lance's guitar never disappoints; James' singing this time is so cheap that you want to punch him , and wanted to grab him, hug him into his arms and give him a big kiss!

Everyone complements each other's strengths, and the whole band merges into one, working together to open up a music world.

And in this music world, there are no more Beatles, no Rolling Stones, no shadows of other well-known rock bands...

It's a whole new world, a unique new world of planets!
