USA.

A gymnasium in Los Angeles.

The American version of "I Am a Singer" will hold its annual ceremony here tonight.

Chen Zi'ang and his group have been to the United States for two days.

These two days, the band has been tortured.

Because the songs submitted by Wang Yu are all new songs.

The band has a lot of work and rehearsed all the songs submitted by the seven singers during this period.

But this is actually not bad, because the songs submitted by the singers are all songs that the band is somewhat familiar with.

And all the three songs submitted by Wang Yu are new songs.

The band has never heard of it.

Fortunately, it was submitted early, otherwise the band might have gone crazy in just two days.

Even though the submission was made in advance, the band was still very hard after Wang Yuzhen came to rehearse.

Chen Zi'ang and Wang Yu have too many requirements.

Both parties have the most time to work together.

Other singers only walk a few times and it will be OK.

The rest of the time is basically for Wang Yu.

But the band hurts and is happy.

Apart from that Chinese song, they didn't feel much, the other two English songs made them amazed.

"Wang, may I ask the songwriters of these two English songs, is the first one an American? How old is it, and where is it?" At the end of the rehearsal, the band director John asked Wang Yu.

Wang Yu shook his head: "No, it's us Chinese."

"Oh, is this true? I can't believe it." John was shocked.

Look at the lyrics, it is about the United States.

How could an American who was not born and raised in the country write such a song after experiencing that era?

Wang Yu smiled and said nothing.

John asked again: "Are you a Chinese American?"

Wang Yu couldn't help but smile and said, "No, he is a real Chinese. I know what you are thinking. I can tell you something, that is, he is from a book writer and is very good at making up stories, so that outsiders believe it."

John was stunned and nodded for a while to agree: "Yes, I believe he is a real American. God, the person who makes up stories is so amazing."

...

In the gymnasium, the lights are on.

The American version of "I Am a Singer" is also a phenomenal program that has appeared in the United States in recent years, and is extremely popular.

Otherwise, the annual ceremony would not have been held in such a huge gymnasium.

The seven singers of the annual ceremony were all world-class singers.

Wang Yu is now the most famous singer in the world in China, which is also due to this world-class program.

The domestic "I Am a Singer" can rejuvenate outdated singers.

The American version of "I Am a Singer" can promote national-level singers to world-class singers.

Before, Wang Yu had never appeared on the world singer popularity list.

The world singer popularity list is only listed in the top 100.

Now, Wang Yu not only squeezed into the world singer popularity list, but also almost reached the top ninety.

The other six annual ceremony singers, both men and women, are also world-class singers, all entered the top 100.

Although Xu Jiahui has become the image ambassador of the Tinder Plan for many countries, she has not yet entered the world singer list.

Chen Zi'ang is even worse, and he is less popular in the world than Xu Jiahui.

"Nina is the king of singers!"

"Rorry is the King of Singers!"

In the gymnasium, online, Americans, and even people from many countries around the world are paying attention to tonight's annual ceremony.

The king of singers is Nina and Rory.

Both of them are very close to world-class superstars.

Among the seven annual ceremony singers, there are no world-class superstars.

Wang Yu was a little confused. She felt that "hotelcalifornia" seemed to imply something, but she couldn't say it.

Indeed, after the song "hotelcalifornia" was released in his previous life, it immediately attracted a lot of doubts and criticism. Although no one dared to boast that his understanding was a correct version, the obvious hints of drug use, promiscuous, cults, etc. in the lyrics still aroused the dissatisfaction of moral guardians and were suspicious of religious groups in the United States. However, the classic guitar melody, strange and inexplicable lyrics in its songs, and the touching sad feelings in the world made it a favorite of music fans.

On stage.

Chen Zi'ang, Wang Yu and others took their place.

The gymnasium is full.

Tens of thousands of viewers cheered.

Although Wang Yu is known as the King of Singers, he has many fans.

The prelude is a little longer, and the guitar accompaniment is the main theme.

This is the second time that Xu Ran has accompanied Wang Yu on stage and appears as a guitarist.

This is the first time Chen Zi'ang is Wang Yu's gangster.

The audience was very curious.

They don't know this person.

At the annual ceremony, fans are looking forward to the singer's identity as a guest singer.

Wang Yu started singing: "onadarkdeserthighay (driving on the dark desert highway)

coolindinmyhair (the cool breeze blows through my hair)”

The voice is a bit lazy and decadent.

Chen Zi'ang: "armsmellofolitas (strong, big, hemp smell)

Risingupthroughtheair (permeating in the air)

upaheadinthedistane (look up at the distance)

isaashimmeringlight (I saw a faint light)”

Wang Yu: "myheadgreheavyandmysightgredim (My head is getting heavier and my vision is blurred)

ihadtostopforthenight(I had to stop for the night)”

Chen Zi'ang: "Thereshestoodinthedooray (She stood there waiting for me)

Wang Yu: "thenshelitupaandle (she lit the candle)

Thereerevoiesdoninorridor (there are waves of speech coming from the depths of the corridor)

itoughtiheardthemsay…(I think I heard them say…)

eletothehotelcaliforniaforyou (Welcome to the California Hotel)”

People in the music industry were shocked when they heard this.

American love is unconcealed.

But the content expressed in their music is very subtle.

The content of the song "hotelcalifornia" is really surprising.

In the past life, it has many interpretations.

Interpretation 1: Drug rehabilitation center

The many hints about drugs in the song are that "California Hotel" were originally the source of the drug rehabilitation center. According to this statement: The California Hotel is a voluntary drug rehabilitation center next to the Southern California highway. The experience of Hawks taking drugs and being admitted to the hospital is the source of the lyrics.

At the beginning, the lyrics suggest that feeling heavy hair in the head is a characteristic of smoking marijuana cigarettes. "litupaandle" is a common term for drug use, and dancing in the backyard is a phenomenon of out-of-control attacks after drug use.

This kind of voluntary drug rehabilitation hospital is mainly opened for the middle class, between nursing homes and drug rehabilitation centers, and promiscuity was a normal state after the middle class was debauchery in the 1970s. The addictive nature of drugs allowed people to recover at a certain period of time and leave the drug rehabilitation hospital, but they could never get rid of the shadow of repeating the old track. This is a portrayal of "you can pay for the time being, but you can never leave."

Interpretation 2: Mental hospital

The weirdness of the lyrics may be the source of the mental hospital's statement. The hints associated with it include: the constant auditory and imagination of sounds from afar; heaven and hell refer to the evil human nature of some demons and the purity and ignorance of angels among mentally ill patients; the patient dances like a demon in the backyard; the distortion of mind and thoughts is the direct words of mentally ill; the prisoners of their own thoughts are also code words; the hallucinations of mentally ills who want to kill demons but can't kill them. Of course, mentally ills are like drugs. You can think that you are normal for the time being, but you cannot guarantee that you will be normal in the future and will never be able to leave the shadow.

The 1970s were the time when horror films were popular in the film industry, and the lyrics were bringing out such a story framework. The lonely person on the remote desert road, the beauty with the candle in the front door, the mysterious foreman of the bar, the demon-summoning dance in the backyard, the intention to kill the demon but can't be killed. Even if it ends, there will always be someone to remind you behind the back. These all make the lyrics feel like ghosts, and in horror films, mental hospitals are more often the main background place.

Interpretation 3: The music industry that alludes to the erosion

The 1960s when "California Hotel" was born was a period of free creation in the American music industry. The popularity of rock music became a symbol of freedom and rebellious thoughts in the 1960s. However, its grand occasion gradually led to the increasingly decaying attitude of life of musicians. Drug use and promiscuity almost became the same depravity path taken by every American rock musician in the 1970s, and money and pleasure became the new image of rock music in the 1970s.

The Eagles, who are also musicians, are powerless to see this fact. Musicians have regarded this addicted life as the norm in the music industry. Rock musicians are always surrounded by beautiful girls and decayed lives. They always forgive themselves for their doubts about the outside world: "Let's relax, we are born to be easily tempted. The music industry can no longer kill this inner demon, even if some individuals can end temporarily, they can never get rid of it."
