Chapter 275 – Why Is It the Title Track?

The opening prelude was very lively. It was obviously not the same style as “Across the Ocean to See You” and “Feel Like Strangers.” However, this lively melody instantly lifted the spirits of the audience, and the distinct rhythm made them unable to resist lightly swaying and moving along with it.

Holding the microphone, Mo Fei stood in the center of the stage without swaying. It seemed that she was somewhat out of sync with the background rhythm, but this was also her unique style.

No matter what song she sang, she always stood quietly until the prelude ended. Some comments said that her stage performance was lacking, and it was not without reason. But Mo Fei just didn’t like to be too flashy. She only wanted to move the audience with her voice.

“If pride had not been coldly slapped down by the Ocean of reality, how would we know how hard we must work to reach the distance…” Mo Fei’s voice was still clear and pleasant, but compared to the original Fan Fan1, her singing of this section carries a hint of sadness.

This sense of sadness was very faint, but anyone who listened carefully could feel it.

The audience at the sidelines listened carefully, thinking about Mo Fei’s bumpy road to pursuing her music dream and the scene where her pride was shattered by reality. They couldn’t help but feel a little sad in their hearts.

“If the dream had never fallen off a cliff, hanging by a thread, how would we know that persistent people have invisible wings…” However, Mo Fei didn’t let sadness become the main melody of her singing this song. In her cool and clear voice, there was a strong sense of stubbornness.

Luo Xin, who was listening to Mo Fei’s singing in an inconspicuous corner below the stage, smile slightly and swayed her body gently.

She actually preferred songs with a style like “Across the Ocean to See You,” but she didn’t reject listening to the motivational song that Mo Fei was singing now.

On the stage, Mo Fei paused for a moment and the rhythm suddenly changed. “In times of despair, one can always keenly feel the weight of loneliness. Yearning for someone who understands to provide warmth and lend a shoulder…”

The lyrics were very long, but Mo Fei sang them in one breath. She not only didn’t take a breath but also used some small techniques in handling certain accents, allowing the feeling of helplessness expressed in this section to penetrate people’s hearts through her singing, as if strands of black hair were wrapping people up, making them suffocate under the cruelty of reality.

However, the wonderful thing was that in the midst of despair, Mo Fei’s singing gave them hope.

“The initial dream held tightly in our hands, the place we yearn to reach, how can we turn back halfway… The initial dream will definitely be achieved, fulfilling our true desires, only then can we count it as having reached heaven…” Mo Fei’s voice rose passionately, and under her broad vocal range, even the highest notes were still performed with ease.

At some point, Mo Fei had hidden away that sense of helplessness, and what she showed the audience was her stubbornness that came from her heart, the joy of her success.

Chasing dreams, as it turned out, wasn’t all pain, it could also be filled with hope and happiness!

As the song ended, the applause from the audience below wasn’t particularly enthusiastic, but the smiles on their faces bloomed for Mo Fei.

“A very beautiful song, full of positive energy. Thank you very much, Mo Fei, for bringing us ‘The Initial Dream.’ I also hope that all of our audience members can persevere on their own dream paths and believe that dreams will eventually come true! Can we give Mo Fei another round of applause?” Luo Xin came up and help Mo Fei rally the emotions of the audience.

The audience was very cooperative, applauding with smiles on their faces. The applause that sounded again echoed like thunder throughout the entire recording studio.

Luo Xin pulled Mo Fei, who had finished thanking the audience, to sit down. She smiled and said, “There’s no doubt that this is an excellent song, but I have to say that compared to ‘Across the Ocean to See You,’ it falls slightly short in evoking emotional resonance in the listeners. Here, I have a small question because as far as I know, Mo Fei, your upcoming album is going to be named after this song, ‘The Initial Dream’ and it will be the title track…”

Luo Xin suddenly dropped such big news, which caused the audience to exclaim.

“That’s right, the information I received is indeed so. Mo Fei’s new album is called ‘The Initial Dream’. Mo Fei’s fans, you should be grateful to me for digging out such big news for you.” Luo Xin smiled and winked at the camera.

“Returning to the question I wanted to ask, why did you, Mo Fei, choose ‘The Initial Dream’ as the title track? And why did you name your album after it?” Luo Xin asked, “Of course, I’m not saying that ‘The Initial Dream’ is not a good song, but compared to it, personally, I might prefer Across the Ocean to See You.’ Although both songs are very nice to listen to, the latter expresses more moving emotions and should hold a different level of classic appeal.”

“Sister Luo Xin is right. When I decided to use ‘The Initial Dream’ as the title track, my producer, Mr. Jin Yingming, also raised objections,” Mo Fei said, “In fact, whether it’s ‘The Initial Dream’ or ‘Across the Ocean to See You,’ neither is the best song on my album, Or I should say, all 12 songs that Mu Li’ang… gave me are all excellent, and each song has the potential to be a title track.”

“Oh, this is a surprising revelation, but your fans should be very excited,” Luo Xin smiled in surprise, “12 songs at the title track level. I think this will be a very classic album.”

Mo Fei nodded gently and continued, “Although ‘The Initial Dream’ received slightly worst reviews from my producer than the other songs, I still love this song very much. It reflects my experiences over the years and has given me strength during my return and encounters with failure, especially during the toughest times. It helped me regain the belief to keep going.”

“So, I want to name my new album after this song that holds significant meaning to me. I want to tell my friends who enjoy listening to my singing and also remind myself that my, Mo Fei’s, initial music dream hasn’t changed. No matter how many failures I encounter, I will persist in making my own music and present the best music to everyone!” Mo Fei’s cold and stunning face faintly revealed an indescribable determination.

In that instant, she looked incredibly cool in front of the camera!

“Very well said!” Luo Xin applauded, “I also really like your pure dedication to pursuing your music dream, Mo Fei. I look forward to seeing you show us more and better music in the future.”

“Thank you, Sister Luo Xin,” Mo Fei replied, thinking it was going to end there.

However, Luo Xin’s routine was something that Mo Fei would never understand. She suddenly pretended to be aggrieved and said, “But I still don’t understand, why in the future? Why don’t you show us better music today on ‘Zhixin Interview’? Instead of singing ‘The Initial Dream,’ it would have been so much better to sing a more fantastic song than ‘Across the Ocean to See You’. Ah, Sister Lou Xin’s rating is going to drop again!”

“Ah?” Mo Fei was a little dumbfounded, feeling a little guilty in her heart.

“Haha!” Luo Xin’s pretend grievance disappeared, and she laughed proudly, “Alright, alright, I won’t tease you anymore. Our Mo Fei is actually quite pure. Seeing her nervous look, I can’t bear it in my heart. Singing ‘The Initial Dream’ is actually quite good. This song is very suitable for singing today, and I sincerely hope that everyone can find their own initial dream and the strength to pursue their dreams in this song!”

Luo Xin made a gesture and then indulgently hugged Mo Fei, just like a mother hugging her daughter.

“Lastly, I want to thank Mo Fei once again for coming today, for sharing so many unknown stories with us, and for bringing us wonderful new songs. Sister Luo Xin wishes Mo Fei all the best and a great success with her new album! I hope when that time comes, I can invite you back again.” Luo Xin held Mo Fei’s hand and spoke towards the camera.

“If there is an opportunity, I will definitely come again. Thank you, Sister Luo Xin, thank you, everyone!” Mo Fei bowed slightly.

“Okay, our program ends here today. Thank you to the audience present here and those watching in front of the TV. Also, thanks to our sponsors… We’ll see you again in the next episode, bye-bye!”
