Chapter 894: The Whale Who Sings the Ocean(1/2)
"Song of the Whale" is the eighth song in Gu Xiaobai's new album "White". The melody of this song is very simple, traveling in one octave, and it doesn't even have lyrics.
Most of the time, it is instrumental music, and the lyrics are actually all kinds of meaningless humming and chanting, so Gu Xiaobai's album is not very popular.
Among Gu Xiaobai's first album, it is considered the least popular one.
"Many people told me that they didn't understand this song, so my friends and I wrote another version together."
With that said, Gu Xiaobai turned around, took out a drum from behind, shook it with a "wow" sound, and a lot of water came out from it, and then sat down.
The light shines in the center, in the sea water. Gu Xiaobai is wearing a simple jeans and T-shirt, sitting on the ground with bare feet.
Beside him, the water was about one centimeter deep, and his feet and half of his butt were immersed in the water.
He held the drum in his arms, gently tapping the head of the drum with his right hand, and slapping the body of the drum with his left hand.
Bang~dong~bang~dong~
Light and heavy, a simple four-four beat, a very rhythmic light and heavy bass, makes people subconsciously start to shake their bodies.
Sure enough, it's "The Song of the Whale"!
When Gu Xiaobai's "Whale Song" appeared on the album, most people thought that this song would be a very beautiful song, just like a mermaid singing.
But when this song was actually released, everyone was confused.
Why is this a song?
Is this called "The Song of the Whale"?
The rhythm and melody of this song are very simple, with only drums and guitar accompaniment. It seems to have removed all ornamentation, giving it a minimalist rock feel.
But its timbre is very special.
Because the lower part of the drum is also immersed in the water, all the sounds are particularly strange, with a kind of elasticity like the sound of water, as if every beat is slapped on the water surface at the same time.
In the shadows, someone is playing the bass of a guitar. I don’t know what effects are used on the electric guitar, and it also has a feeling similar to the sound of water.
After the prelude with a strong rhythm but not a fast speed, Gu Xiaobai's singing sounded.
He also lowered his voice very low, singing one sentence and then stopping for another sentence.
"The iceberg collided and shattered..."
The guitar plays and the drums crackle-dong-dong-dong-dong.
"Are you hungry..."
………………
"Are you tired..."
………………
"Ah ocean~~"
Gu Xiaobai's right hand slapped hard, and with a "dong" sound, it landed on the last note of ocean.
When singing the phrase "Ocean", there was a deep voice that was also echoing, as if under the water, there was another particularly deep voice that was singing along with Gu Xiaobai.
This inarticulate sound shook the entire water surface, creating ripples in circles.
The guitar sound continued to play, and Gu Xiaobai nodded slightly, sitting cross-legged on the water, beating a drum.
"Ocean currents move across the ocean floor..."
………………
"are you alone……"
………………
"Are you sad..."
………………
"Ah ocean~..."
This time, everyone heard it more clearly. A low, huge, shocking voice sang the last line under the water:
"Ah ocean~..."
Gu Xiaobai continued to beat the drum and raised his voice slightly:
"Who can take away your..."
"Ah ocean~..."
The low voice was also singing along.
"Ah ocean~..."
"Ah Whale song..."
"Ah ocean~..."
There are two voices, one is clean and clear, the other is deep and powerful.
Gu Xiaobai on the water is slowly rising, and the deep voice singing "Ocean" is getting louder and louder.
getting bigger!
Until there was a sound of water, many people in front subconsciously stood up with a "boom". If the seats were not fixed on the deck, they would probably even bring the chairs down.
Under Gu Xiaobai's body, a black head popped out.
Where is the stage?
That's a whale!
Just now, it stretched its wings and floated quietly in the water. It only exposed a little of its smooth back on the sea surface, acting as Gu Xiaobai's stage.
But now, it slowly raised its head and its entire body slowly emerged from the water.
Its huge body, which is more than ten meters long, is like a bus. Gu Xiaobai, who is sitting on top of it, looks so small.
Parasitic organisms such as barnacles and whale lice are parasitic on the corners of its mouth, sides, and double fins.
On its head, there are fist-sized tumors.
Those are its hair follicles, and this is actually its hair.
Many people sitting in the front row felt a subconscious sense of fear when they saw such a huge creature at close range.
Many people shrank back subconsciously after standing up, and some were even so frightened that they jumped up and ran back a few steps, screaming one after another.
No matter how many times you see it on TV, it can never compare to seeing a whale up close in reality!
Seeing the reaction of the crowd, the huge humpback whale subconsciously shrank downwards, and then slowly poked its head out again.
But it stays there quietly, looking like a timid, shy, pimple-covered little fat guy, half floating and half submerged under the water, looking at you.
After all, although he often followed Gu Xiaobai shamelessly and chased Zhong Junhao.
But it has never seen so many people.
Such a large man-made thing.
Such a stage, such an environment.
What's more, its eyesight is not very good. It can only see confusing light and hear people screaming and running around.
No wonder it feels scared.
On its back, Gu Xiaobai gently beat the drum and sang softly.
"The ships sailed across the water..."
"Are you afraid……"
"Are you angry..."
"Ah ocean~..."
The huge, deep sound, which is difficult for human ears to hear but can shake people's bodies, is singing along.
"Ah ocean~..."
No microphone or speakers were used. The sound was as loud as a jet taking off, vibrating the water surface, vibrating the nearby air, and shaking the entire Dragon Palace on the sea.
At that moment, the eyes of everyone present suddenly widened.
It’s actually a whale singing!
Moreover, they are singing human lyrics!
Before this, they had heard that Gu Xiaobai could communicate with whales, and they had also heard that Whale Whale sang the "Single Song".
But that's just humming the melody.
As for the interaction between Gu Xiaobai and the whale, they have all watched the video and watched many kinds of videos.
But when I actually saw it with my own eyes, I still found it incredible.
Oh my god, you actually sit on the head of a whale and sing?
