"The birds left the forest,
The whole sky felt disheartened,
Butterflies no longer drawn,
Roses bloomed so quiet..."
The visually striking lyrics painted a bleak and desolate world for the audience.
On stage, behind Ting Yu, the large screen displayed the documentary footage again, with images of environmental destruction flashing by one by one.
What was particularly noteworthy in this song was the string accompaniment, a fusion of piano and strings that created a grand, epic feeling, as if a giant hand was pulling the listener into the story.
From the very beginning, it evoked a strong sense of imagery.
"The wind and rain in the distance never cease,
The city is pale and lonely,
Wandering, helpless crowds,
Anxious for when the skies will clear..."
After environmental destruction, both humanity and the planet's life forms appeared so helpless.
When everything had become a fait accompli, all regrets were useless.
Su Yu held the microphone, standing on stage and singing quietly.
The musicians behind him didn't have overly exaggerated movements; their actions were subtle, yet conveyed a deep sense of loneliness.
Deserts, garbage dumps, gray skies.
Adults with numb expressions, children with dirty faces but eyes full of curiosity about the outside world.
All of this created an immense, suffocating pressure.
The first two verses of the song thoroughly depicted despair and helplessness!
However, while this short film addressed environmental damage, it primarily focused on hope, using a positive ending to remind everyone of the importance of environmental protection.
Therefore, in the next moment, the rhythm gradually picked up pace.
"In stories, the only thing that can be destroyed is the scenery,
No one can destroy our dreams,
A shooting star streaked across the sky beside the crescent moon,
The wish I made, to whom should I explain..."
Su Yu's voice, filled with hope, resonated through the venue.
Lin Yan Yu gazed at the man on stage, captivated by his singing.
It was as if, even if the world were to be destroyed, or the apocalypse were to arrive, as long as Su Yu was by her side, she would have no fear.
"Meteorites travel through the vast universe,
In the brilliant night sky, crystals fill the air,
My prayers have finally been answered..."
On the big screen.
As the music played, the damaged environment began to rapidly recover.
Su Yu spread his arms and slightly tilted his head upwards.
The moment the sun rose on the screen,
It felt as if everything could be healed by the sunlight.
The next second!
"I so strongly believe,
That it is you who supports me from behind,
Always walking beside me,
Looking up as the sun rises,
Hearing the birds return.
It is you who watches over me,
Giving me unwavering confidence,
My hands play out the dawn,
Love truly is so moving..."
Hope!
The core of this song is hope!
A sense of immense beauty seemed to rise in the audience's hearts, a conviction that any hardship could be overcome.
"Hope, I see hope!"
"Is this the charm of music? This is truly a healing singer now!"
"I have indeed been healed, and this song isn't just for this purpose; it can be used in the face of any disaster."
"Yes, it's perfect!"
"It's hard to imagine what our Blue Star would look like if it were ravaged, but after listening to this song, I think many people, like me, now have a sense of reverence for the environment!"
"Protecting the environment is everyone's responsibility. This slogan isn't just talk; it's something we should all do."
From the despair in the verses to the hope in the chorus,
The lyrics were not limited to environmental protection; many viewers found that the song perfectly fit scenes of healing people during various disasters.
On Earth, the song "I So Strongly Believe" has indeed been used in various contexts. Whether facing disaster or misfortune, many short videos have featured this song to inspire people.
The line in the chorus, "That it is you who supports me from behind," has also been used to praise those who have made silent sacrifices.
Some people even use this song at their weddings to express gratitude to their partners.
Therefore, this song can be considered very versatile, applicable in various situations.
"The birds left the forest,
The whole sky felt disheartened,
Butterflies no longer drawn..."
After the interlude.
Another repetition.
However, the emotion in the second rendition was more fervent than the first.
The audience was even more immersed.
In the guest section, Lin Yan Yu acted like a devoted fan, raising her hands and clapping along to the rhythm.
When Su Yu sang, "I so strongly believe," her heart was deeply moved!
She even felt an urge to rush onto the stage and embrace him!
While others might be listening to the healing sounds in the song, Lin Yan Yu was already imagining their wedding day, and even their future, walking side by side on the path of life, with Su Yu always being the one to watch over her.
How romantic that would be!
"...
My hands play out the dawn,
Love truly is so moving..."
After the final verse was sung,
The stage lights became incredibly bright!
The images on the big screen returned to an oasis.
Dawn washed away all darkness, and hope dispelled the heaviness and numbness.
The applause in the venue was thunderous.
"Listening to this, the gap between me and Ting Yu is enormous!" backstage, Zheng Cheng Jun shook his head with immense emotion.
Previously, the theme song for this public service film was entrusted to him by Mentor Wei for production.
It was only when he visited the set near the end of filming that he was "tricked" by his wife, Sun Wenwen, into having his song critiqued by Ting Yu, which then shifted the topic to the theme song. Because the work wasn't quite satisfactory, Lin Yan Yu found an opportunity to recommend Su Yu to Director Wei to write the song.
This led to the creation of this song.
To be honest, Zheng Cheng Jun wasn't convinced at first. Even though the other person was Ting Yu, he felt that the song he had spent so long researching had some merit.
But after hearing "I So Strongly Believe," he wondered what on earth he had written.
"Ting Yu!!!"
"Ting Yu!!"
"Ahhh! It's so good!"
"Great, I have a song to loop today!"
The bullet comments scrolled wildly.
Many viewers were also moved by the song.
Combined with the images of environmental destruction they had just seen, it felt like a rebirth.
After waiting for so long, a new song had finally arrived, and it was such a beautiful one.
As a fan of Ting Yu, they were immensely satisfied.
Amidst the cheers, the documentary for the night reached its conclusion.
The film crew members came onto the stage and, along with Ting Yu, paid their respects to the audience. The director, originally in the center position, yielded it to Ting Yu.
Everyone bowed in unison to the audience and the cameras, and this public welfare event was declared concluded!
