Probably a very long winter.

The medicine caused some problems in Tong Yu's blood clotting mechanism, and the process of coagulation, scabs and shedding of each wound was unbearably slow, and he even went to the hospital to buy ointment to promote wound healing.

He stubbornly wanted to wait for the deepest scar in front of him to disappear, and wait for the weather to warm up.And Song Rou seemed to be waiting for him to speak in a leisurely manner.

At that time, Song Rou and Aurora's other three people went to Denmark to shoot the MV, and the trip lasted for two full months.

Tong Yu misses him very, very much.

In fact, Tong Yu has never been to Denmark.

At that time, he looked at the photos in his circle of friends every day, imagining the fairy tale kingdom, imagining the humid Atlantic sea breeze blowing over the undulating low-lying ice-water depositional plains, the vast hills, and then turning into mist in the low and clear Jutland Lakes and swamps of the peninsula.

2019年的春节是2月20号。乐队四个人在2月18号的时候落地北京，宋柔2月19号才回到C城。

On February 2th, Mengxuan posted Weibo and ig, a photo with Song Rou, located in Tromso, Norway.

In the photo, Mengxuan's face is leaning in front of the camera, with his head raised halfway to reveal a clear jaw line, his lips are half-opened in a half-smile, and his eyes are looking back slyly.

Song Rou showed her whole body behind. He was wearing a black cold hat, and his hands were inserted in the long black down.

A brilliant aurora hovered in the sky.

The most popular comment was Aurora's makeup artist Xiao Fu, who sent a series of ellipses, which was very meaningful.

Tong Yu also knew that there were three trending searches about them that night.

#宋苦梦震Norway

#Aurorachase

#Valentine's Day Let's go to see the aurora with the one you like

In the early spring of 2019, the scars on Tong Yu's face had not completely dissipated.

Tong Yu didn't know whether to ask or what to ask, but he was still waiting.

Until the arrival of Aurora's sixth album, Tong Yu did not wait for the winter and spring of 2019 to pass safely, but waited for the third nightmare in his life.

55°71'N, 9°53'E, that is a mini-album with only two tracks.

The main piece is also called 55°71'N, 9°53'E, and the other one is the Instrumentalver. (performance version) of the main piece.

The composition of 55°71'N and 9°53'E was written by Song Rou alone, but the lyrics were written by Song Rou and Ah Zuo together.

The lyrics tell the story of a transgender person searching for his inner self.

The latitude and longitude is located at Vejle, a port city in the east of Jutland Peninsula, Denmark.It is also the place where the protagonist in the lyrics lived as a child.

The protagonist has had gender cognition problems since he was a child. He is delicate and gentle by nature, and he is also interested in dresses decorated with lace and tulle like a girl.

But his unusual behavior was also strongly suppressed by his parents in childhood, and he had to disguise himself as a "normal" male.

The girl in lace and tulle becomes a hidden secret painted by the protagonist, buried in the murky Vejle swamp.

In the end, the girl sleeping in the Vejle Swamp was awakened by some opportunity. After a long period of confusion and struggle, the protagonist began to firmly believe in her soul as a woman.

In the end, in order to become her true self, she tried the world's first gender replacement operation, and paid the price of her life for it.

The first half of the melody at 55°71'N and 9°53'E is orchestrated by piano and flute. The flowing and light piano sound has samples of flowing water, and the flute sound has the rustling sound of wind blowing animals and plants. distant.That is the protagonist's seemingly stable childhood and the secret of still waters running deep.

In the second half of the melody, the cello is gradually added, and the melodious and mighty sound of the violin directly pushes the whole piece to a climax.Like a strong wind finally blowing away the thick dark clouds and dense fog, it is the protagonist who has finally strengthened his heart after experiencing inner struggle and suffering, and will devote himself to a free soul without hesitation.

After the Spring Festival, Ah Zuo gave him a stack of landscape photos, which were the landscapes they took in Vejle and Copenhagen.

Regarding the cover of the album, Tong Yu reached a consensus with them early on, and they would draw a swamp.

After the trip to Denmark, Ah Zuo approached him and said that he hoped that he could draw according to the real scene.

This is the first time Ah Zuo participated in the production of an album, so there is nothing wrong with serving dim sum.Tong Yu also agreed. Different places have different geological features and plant zones. He can't expect to be able to draw the swamps of the Jutland Peninsula just like the Wild Duck Lake in the suburbs of Beijing.

He selected one from a stack of photographs.

In the center of that photo is a bare tree. The crown of the tree spreads out from the junction with the trunk, and closes again at the top.

The roots of the tree stuck quietly in the dark shallow swamp, and the branches of the tree grew wildly and wildly, messy and intertwined.

In the distance is the vast bay, the gentle hills and the black sea mist blend into one.

Tong Yu picked that photo at a glance.

Fu Ruibai always said that Tong Yu looks dull and timid, but in fact he is brave and straightforward.His love for Song Rou is the same in his heart, and the same is true in his words.

But Tong Yu himself knew that was not the case, there were too many things he didn't dare to do.There are also many people who dare not ask questions.

For example, he didn't dare to ask about the tattoo mentioned by Mengxuan, and he didn't dare to ask why the band was called Aurora.

He could only ask Song Rou, are you and Mengling together?

If not, would you like to be with me?

As for other things, he didn't dare to ask, and he didn't think it was very important.

Just like telling Song Rou what she saw that day at the Hongta Bar, Song Rou just frowned and then hastily revealed it.

Tong Yu didn't know, let alone ask how Song Rou would deal with it.Because Aurora is Song Rou's brainchild, he has no right to ask.

And the deepest wound at the moment finally faded into a thin trace in March 2019.

Tong Yu knew that he should have gone to Song Rou for an answer.

It's just maybe because it's hard to see Song Rou at school, or maybe it's because of Mengxuan's Weibo post on Valentine's Day.

Anyway, he hasn't asked yet.

Courage is a thing like morale, it fades and dwindles.The first time I said it was because of courage, the second time I asked it could be because of unused courage, and the third time I asked, no matter how much courage I had, it was gone.

Then Aurora received an invitation to the Berry Music Festival, the largest open-air music festival in the world.

As a young band from Asia, receiving the invitation really means a lot to them.

The Berry Music Festival that year was held in San Francisco as usual.

Song Rou and the others flew from Beijing to San Francisco at the end of April, and Tong Yu went to the Capital Airport to see him off. Song Rou pinched his ears and said that she would wait for him to come back.

The song was inspired by the movie "The Danish Girl" and the autobiography "Male to Female" of the world's first transgender person

The inspiration for the soundtrack has been updated in the playlist. The title of the first song is also the chord of latitude and longitude, which is very similar to Romance of Love (I like this style of music very much).The second is Danishgirl, the soundtrack of a Danish girl. The orchestration and artistic conception of the song mentioned in the article are almost based on this song.

In addition, my ability to describe the picture is really limited. .If you are curious about the original picture, you can go to Weibo @饼厂, you can find it in the photo album.
