Chapter 85 – Love Me, Don’t Go
In the earlymorning of the weekend, everything was quiet, and even the buzzing cicadasseemed to feel the deep drowsiness of people on the weekend, as they didn’tmake a sound.
“pa, pa,pa…” A lonely figure appeared in the long corridor. Mo Xiaojuan came overwith a big and small bag.
At this time,even the people on duty in the company were still sleeping, Mo Xiaojuan wasused to this loneliness, walking through some dark stairs without fear.Fortunately, there were still a few rays of morning sun shining in thecorridor, and a few potted plants quietly blossom in the sun, adding a littlemore vitality.
Mo Xiaojuanopened the door of Mo Fei’s exclusive studio and quietly walked in.
What cameinto her view was the messy work table and a sleeping beauty curled up on thefolding bed in the back. Mo Xiaojuan put down the breakfast in her hand, then lookedat Mo Fei and secretly sigh.
Thisworkaholic!
It’s been afew days, are you not going to stop?
After Mo Feigot two good songs, she drilled into the recording studio every day as if shehad found a treasure. Fortunately, there was no notice recently, but there wasa commercial performance. Mo Fei asked Mo Xiaojuan to push it, but after MoXiaojuan earnestly advised her, Mo Fei decided to postponed it instead.
Mo Fei shouldhave stayed up until the early hours of the morning yesterday. Mo Xiaojuan’smovements didn’t wake her up.
Mo Xiaojuanshook her head, picked up the blanket that Mo Fei had dropped from the floor,and covered her. At such a critical time, Mo Fei can’t catch a cold, otherwiseshe will be even more mad if she can’t sing.
Mo Xiaojuancleaned up Mo Fei’s work table, sorted out some of Mo Fei’s notes, pressed themwith a silver paperweight, and then walked gently to the recording studio nextdoor.
As a loyalfan of her cousin, Mo Xiaojuan was still interested in the progress of Mo Fei’ssong test. She turned on the machine skillfully, then put on the monitorheadphones and listened to Mo Fei’s recording with great interest.
“Ifpride hadn’t been brutally slapped by the cold sea of reality, how would weknow how much effort it takes to reach the far distance…”
Mo Fei’ssinging of “The Original Dream” has been very smooth. With her uniqueethereal voice, she sings the song’s helplessness and struggle, which wasdifferent from the demo that Mo Xiaojuan heard.
Mo Fei’ssinging skill is really amazing. Forexample, the lyrics “In times of weariness, just close your eyes and smellthe fragrance”, she can sing that feeling of being weary and lazy. It’svery light, but as long as one listen carefully, one can feel it!
However, don’tthink that this song of positivity was sung by Mo Fei with negative energy! MoFei sang the weariness part of the song in the beginning, and graduallytransitions to the brisk and exciting high / trendy part!
Thetransition was seamless. Mo Xiaojuan, who was listening to the song, was alsoworried in the beginning. But unknowingly, she got infected by Mo Fei’s emotion,and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, as if she saw the dawn of a dreamcoming true.
“IfSister Fei used this song as the main title of her comeback album, she wouldhave certainly sold more than she had!” After listening to the song, MoXiaojuan sighed secretly.
In the competitiveentertainment world, it is difficult to make a comeback!
The newalbum, which just encountered a flop, was originally Mo Fei’s best chance tomake a comeback, given her pre-retirement status and nostalgic fans.
Butunfortunately, this opportunity was not grasped, and an album with a poor qualitywas released, which suddenly spoiled her original popularity.
Howdifficult it will be to start a new album in the future, start from scratch,and regain popularity again! Not to mention the quality of future albums, MoFei’s rivals will not sit by and watch Mo Fei’s development, and they willcertainly spare no effort to block and attack Mo Fei, as they have done inrecent months.
It was noteasy to break through.
The firstsong ended in Mo Xiaojuan’s wishful thinking. She came back to her senses andclicked on the second song.
“Love Me,Don’t Go.”
The song wasalso sent to Mo Fei by Mu Li’ang via email. At the beginning, Mo Xiaojuan feltthat the quality of the song was not as good as the first one. Listening to themelody, she felt that it had a strong R&B (rhythm and blues) flavor!
Mo Xiaojuandoesn’t like this style of music very much, but Mo Fei surprised Mo Xiaojuan. MoFei, who rarely sings R&B, showed a strong interest in the song.
Before shecould think too much, the music has already played, and Mo Fei’s voice brokeout: “Up till now I am still the same, the loneliness of the night callsone to sorrow, there are too many things I dare not think about, because I am onmy own…”
This R&Bsong is very free, but the vocal is also very unique. Although Mo Fei rarelysings this type of song, she still mastered it easily with her singing skills.The kind of soul stirring, gentle, lingering charm was incisively and vividly sungby Mo Fei!
(PS: thissong is originally sung by Zhang Zhen who sings hip-hop, but the female voiceversion is also very pleasant to listen to, you can go to Mo Wen …. Listen toWei’s version.) (TN: Author’s note. And I’m not sure if I got the right artistwho sang the song. A link to the song at the end of the chapter)
When it cameto the high / trendy part, Mo Xiaojuan finally heard Mo Fei’s exciting /emotional side of.
“Loveme, don’t go, (but) if you say you don’t love me…”
“I don’twant to hear you say it for real, give me some more tenderness…”
In this part,Mo Fei sang emotionally, which was different from the versions that Mo Xiaojuanhas heard before. Before, Mo Fei sang freely and easily, and some sadly, butnever so helplessly and sadly as she does now!
Mo Xiaojuansighed heavily, but she understood!
Mo Fei wasn’tsinging this song for Yang Yi, nor for some other man. Mo Fei was venting herunspeakable retention for her fans who have left.
The lyricsof this song are really simple. Unlike “Long Time No See” that MoXiaojuan likes, it lacked variations. The second part is just a simplerepetition of the first part. At that time, she complained to Mo Fei that thissong from “Mu Li’ang” wasn’t written seriously enough, which was notlike his strength!
However,what can enhance the expression of emotion better than repetition?
“… Theoncoming moonlight casts a long shadow behind me. Aimlessly, I walk along thecold, cold streets. I don’t have any news of you, because I’m thinking of you.”
Instead ofpausing as she did in the first part, Mo Fei raised her voice and hummed an impromptublues, transitioning the melody to the high/trendy part.
“Loveme, don’t go, (but) if you say you don’t love me…”
At thistime, Mo Fei’s singing changed again, not as emotionally as in the first part,but slowly sinking from the high note, singing out the feeling of a heavyheart.
“Love me,Don’t go…”
Mo Fei sangto the end in a sad tone, which was very rare! In the past, she rarely showedsuch emotions directly. At most she hid it in a roundabout way, which needed tobe understood carefully by the listeners. ．
Perhaps, shereally hopes that those fans who like her would, “Love me, don’t go”!
