Rebirth in America

After returning from the book signing event, Alex excused his sore arms and refused to go to the company to record a record.

It wasn't until he couldn't put it off any longer that he lazily came to the recording studio. Richard's solo song has been recorded, and now it's Alex's turn with Richard's duet song.

The Carpenters were a strange band, usually both brothers would appear on the same song. However, when there is only one lead singer, whoever wrote the song basically does the lead vocal, otherwise it’s the chorus. This time, the songs were all written by Richard, so in the songs that Richard sang solo, Alex’s role was the harmony.

Now they were recording a choral song, also written by Richard.

Richard wrote songs that Alex had never heard before, at least not in his previous life. He knew that Richard was very talented, but he didn't expect that he was that talented. Facing these songs, Alex felt ashamed. He didn't expect that he could not compare with an 8-year-old child.

"Actually, I can also write songs, it's just that I don't want to." Alex comforted himself.

This was one of the reasons why he didn’t really want to come over to record. Alex has a bit of an ostrich mentality, but no matter how much he ignores it, the facts are the facts. He eventually came and sang with Richard.

Richard is in surprisingly good condition. He can now easily sing the tones that he couldn't sing before. In sharp contrast, Alex often plays soy sauce when harmonizing. But the soy sauce he whipped up was so good, it saved effort and didn't ruin the overall feeling, leaving Mark and others speechless.

Mark knew that Alex's strength was more than that, and he could perform better. He said: "Alex, please be serious and stop fishing in troubled waters."

What he said caused a burst of laughter from others. Yes, everyone can see that Alex is really not in a good state and is just messing around. They even thought that Alex's talent had been exhausted and he would never be able to write as beautiful a song as before. If it weren't for Richard's support, the Carpenters would have perished long ago.

These people who have been in the music industry for many years are experienced and well-informed. It is not like they have never seen a meteor-like genius like Alex. If Alex hadn't been considered the boss of this company, they would have been talking about it.

"I don't think Alex is playing tricks. He works so hard, how could he be playing tricks?"

"Yes, I also think he has worked hard enough. Please stop scolding others."

"Yeah, geniuses are people too, not machines. Of course they need to take a rest."

"Tch, what the hell are you all talking about..."

They whispered underneath, thinking Alex couldn't hear them through the thick glass. However, by coincidence, Mark did not turn off the phone immediately after speaking to him. Alex heard what those people said clearly.

This made him angry, but when he thought about it, he felt that his recent performance was indeed not good. He has been lazy and stolen too much, and has become more and more lazy and conformist. No wonder he is misunderstood by others.

If you want to change other people's opinions, you have to show them something so that they know that you are not a sick cat.

In the subsequent recording work, Alex showed his strength and quickly helped Richard record the song. He walked out of the recording studio and said to Mark: "I also have a song I want to record here. I should be able to finish it today."

Mark was very surprised by this sentence, and he asked: "Is it a new song?"

Alex nodded and said, "It's a new song, just finished."

Richard was also attracted and asked in surprise: "When did you write the song? Why didn't I know?"

Alex smiled and said comfortingly: "I've been thinking about this song for a long time, but I haven't written it down yet. It's just in my head."

"Then write it quickly so we can see what kind of song it is." Richard urged. He liked Alex's songs very much. Those songs have always been the source of his creation and have a great influence on him.

The people next to him were stunned when they heard it, and they couldn't believe what Alex said. What does it mean to have a newly written song that is always in your head? Is this deception? It’s a lie!

Alex ignored their suspicious looks and thoughts, picked up a pen and paper, brushed it a few times, and wrote a song. This is a song called "tellmewhy", also sung by Declan.

As soon as Mark got the composition, he was deeply attracted by the lyrics and melody. He took a deep breath and said, "You were able to record this song in just one day? That's unlikely."

Judging from his experience, this song is of very high quality. It can be said that regardless of the lyrics, artistic conception, or melody, it can be said to have reached a superb level. Because of this, it is difficult to sing such a song. Even with the best singer in the world, it is difficult to record it in such a short time.

Such songs must be carefully recorded line by line. Only in this way can the perfect effect be truly achieved. If anyone could sing this song perfectly in one go, it would be simply impossible. With Mark's many years of experience, let alone seeing him, he had never even heard of such a person existing.

"Don't be long-winded. I don't want any accompaniment this time. I just need to record my a cappella voice. As for the accompaniment, background sound, harmony, etc., I'll just add them in post-production." Alex was a little uncomfortable. Be patient, he didn’t come up with this song to find something to do for himself, he just wanted to solve the problem once and for all.

This time, not only Mark was surprised, but even the ordinary employees found it incredible. Generally speaking, when singers record records, they need accompaniment. Not only because it is convenient to record, but mainly because the singer needs accompaniment music as a reference so that he can perform at a normal level. There are very few singers who can sing well a cappella, extremely rare.

Alex can do it! Of course, he relied on his own superpowers to do it. With the help of "analog memory", he sang Duranque's version of "Tell Me Why" so flawlessly that even without accompaniment music, others were deeply moved when listening to it.

This song was released by Declan on December 9, 2002, 10 days before his 11th birthday. It was also his first song.

It was also on this day that all parties in Britain and Ireland and Declan sang the song at the same time, and it was awarded the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest choir in history. The event is presented by Children's Concerts, with all funds raised donated to children recovering from cancer.

It can be said that at this moment, it is not Alex who sings, but the talented singer Dylanc who is more than sixty years apart.

When Alex finished singing, the people standing outside the glass wall of the recording studio were so shocked that they could not move. It took a long time for Mark to come back to his senses. He said: "This song is just like that of the legendary sirens, which can hold people's hearts tightly."

Richard also said with great admiration: "Sure enough, my brother is better than me!"

The sound engineer also nodded and said: "Alex's strength is still so powerful, he really doesn't look like a human being."

Others also had to admit: "This is Alex who is serious. We still underestimated him."

Alex didn't care what those people were thinking. He struck while the iron was hot. With Mark's cooperation, he added background sound effects and accompaniment music and mixed them together. In this way, the song is truly completed. People have different feelings after listening to it. What this song wants to express is the confusion about the various behaviors of people in the world, including the indifferent relationship between humans and nature, and between humans.

If you listen carefully to the prelude of the song, you will find that it is mixed with the sounds of birds and the tide, creating a natural atmosphere. However, people have done unforgivable things to such an environment. Children don't quite understand why adults do this.

The high-pitched melody at the climax is a child's accusation against the world. The purpose of "tellmewhy" step by step is not to find the answer, but to wake up the sleeping world.

The song is eloquent and passionate, going straight up to Yunxiao's high notes. It is full, clean, quiet, ethereal, natural and beautiful. It is "tellmewhy" that screams and calls out with melancholy and anger. Alex's childish voice that has not yet changed its voice asks questions about human war, poverty, and hunger in singing, and prays for human peace, friendship, and prosperity.

When the entire song was finished, Alex and the others realized that time had exceeded a lot. However, it only took less than a day to record a super high-quality song, which is something that many people did not expect.

"This song will definitely be number one on last week's charts!" Mark said after listening to the final version of the song.

Alex smiled modestly and said nothing. After listening to it, his brother Richard also thought the song was good. The vocal part, the melody and the accompaniment were all excellent. More importantly, the lyrics were very good, and the artistic conception and meaning were also very profound.

People in this era were not as aware of environmental protection as they were in later generations. However, environmental pollution has become a major problem that affects people in all aspects. The United States in the 1950s was a period of rapid development, but due to its rapid development, it also caused a lot of environmental damage.

At that time, all farms in the United States were using DDT as an insecticide. UU Reading www.uukanｓhu.netｔ Many state governments rented planes to spray DDT, spraying it on many farmlands and residential areas just to eliminate mosquitoes. As a result, many beneficial insects were accidentally killed, and even the birds in the biological reserve suffered. Many residents were horrified to find that after spraying DDT, many dead birds were found the next day.

In more places, people will see the direct discharge of sewage produced by chemical plants, the exhaust gas produced by steel plants blocking the sky, and so on. People have become increasingly aware of the importance of protecting their environment.

Although it received praise from Mark, Richard and others, Alex's song was released a little too early. At that time, it did not reach the top of the weekly list as Mark expected. Instead, it was overshadowed by Richard's songs. However, as nearly ten years passed, people paid more and more attention to environmental issues, and this song became more and more important.

In particular, Carson, the author of "Silent Spring", was influenced by this song, and she began to study environmental protection many years in advance. She said in the book that she became interested in environmental issues after listening to the song. She went to investigate the impact of environmental pollution on people, and the results shocked her, so she wrote this book to warn the world.

After entering the 1970s, this song became even more popular. Hippies, civil rights activists, environmentalists, etc., all of them chose this song unanimously, and it was played repeatedly at rallies.

This song is also known as the battle cry of "Love and Peace"! Many people became environmentalists or pacifists after listening to this song.
