Birth of a Goddess [Comprehensive English and American]

Although Elisa quickly stated on Twitter that she is now in a safe state and has not been injured, in this short period of time, a lot of hot media have bitten this point like hyenas and released A series of press releases with provocative titles but irrelevant texts.

This batch of news is like adding fuel to the flames, and the anger of netizens directly made this campus shooting at Yale University the top trending search on Twitter.

Some witnesses of the shootings have come forward to tell their stories.

'McAdam Hall: When I was in high school, I ran into a guy on the street again, and he tried to rob me, and he shot me in the thigh as I tried to fight and run away.After being taken to the hospital, I spoke to the police, but they told me that the gun had been found at the scene and they thought I had accidentally shot myself.Then during my probation period, they asked me to participate in a gun education program, and I had to go to activities every day after school.

I'm pretty sure I did nothing wrong, but as the biggest victim of a shooting, it's me who ultimately bears the consequences. '

'Houston Eddy: I ​​just got married two years ago and I was on our honeymoon with my wife and I was driving to a restaurant and there was a bullet in a passing car in the parking lot.Fortunately, the bullet did not hurt anyone, but only hit the tire.Afterwards, we asked the restaurant to obtain the monitoring data of the parking lot at that time, but we were rejected. To this day, we still don't know who the person who shot at us was. '

'Gabriela Leslie: When I was teaching in middle school, something like this happened to me.After surviving a shooting, I realized that guns are the most useless thing on campus.It's just that when I make that comment, I'm always told that if we had guns then the tragedy wouldn't have happened.But I don't agree that guns can't stop a massacre without warning, they can only replace one tragedy with another.

In the past few years, I have quit my teaching job and have been eager to do something for the school gun movement.When you're a survivor of a shooting, the only way you're going to stop the next tragedy from happening is to actively help other victims, get involved in politics and organizing, and disrupt the current workings of society.No one can guarantee that this kind of thing won't happen again, it will, and it will happen again and again, unless the glass called "system" is broken. '

The incident of school shootings in Florida not long ago has not subsided, and an almost identical case happened again at such a sensitive juncture.

Campuses, students, shootings.

Every word is beating on the nerves of the people's anger. Although under pressure, the New Haven Police Department once again stood up and issued a public statement, stating that no one was killed in this shooting, and only one female student was killed because of He lost too much blood and was rescued in the hospital.Such rhetoric did not appease the anger of the people, but instead provoked a new round of criticism.

'It's their luck that not many people were injured, but it's not an excuse you guys are using!

Less than half a month has passed since the last major school shooting in Florida, and a similar case happened again. Whether it was in a middle school or a university, the school's security forces were useless in these two cases! '

'I don't understand, it happens more than once or twice, it happens almost every year.

After every incident, some people will stand up and express their views. Those politicians shed a few tears in front of the screen pretending or sincerely, but none of them took concrete actions to change the status quo. Earn a little political capital or popular favor for yourself.But we can see that the current situation has not improved significantly compared with ten or 20 years ago.

It is still easy to hold a gun, and shootings still happen frequently. Every time I go out every day, I still need to worry about my personal safety all the time. '

Even Eliza's old fans compared the terrorist attack in Paris with the school shooting this time.

'I don't know how many people remember the 2015 terrorist attack in Paris in 11.13 as I do.But as an Eliza fan, I don't think I'll ever forget that night.On the night of the terrorist attack, Eliza sang in the Stade de France, which was the focus of the terrorist attack. When the news came, I waited as anxiously as before for just a signal of safety.

In my opinion, the biggest difference between the shooting at Yale University today and the terrorist attack in Paris is that there is an opportunity, a method, and a possibility to intervene and stop it in advance.After all, this time it was not a premeditated action by a terrorist organization, but an individual action.Long before he entered Yale, or before he entered the library, there should have been measures to prevent him from entering with a gun. '

This fan's opinion may not have been agreed by everyone, but one of them has struck everyone's heart——

These school shootings should have been stopped before they broke out.

Not only ordinary people are actively discussing online, but many celebrities have also clearly expressed their views on public social platforms.Some advocate the implementation of "banning guns", and some support people to hold guns in accordance with the law, but they also admit that there are indeed some guns that are flooding and control needs to be strengthened.

With the development of public opinion to this point, even the government can hardly stop Yoyo's mouth, not to mention the press releases issued by several well-known media one after another, even with soft knives behind the government spokesperson, forcing the government to come forward to explain.The school shooting case in Florida has already been fooled once, and there was still no movement after that, and it hit the Yale University school shooting case again. Let's force the government to come up with at least a temporary solution.

On the cusp of such a storm, Elisa, who was the leader of the explosion of public opinion, remained silent after posting a tweet to report her safety.Did not express a position, also did not stand side.

Angry people took to the streets, and the survivors of the shooting held up the sign "Against the proliferation of guns". The surging faces formed distorted lines. The wall is separated, even if it is only separated by a layer of glass, those indifferent people standing on the high ground will not listen to their demands.

The White House once again sent out news, but the incumbent president, who has always been ridiculed for "Twitter governing the country", did not post any views on the proliferation of guns on social platforms.

At this time, a video was uploaded on the Youtube account of Eliza Studio without warning.

"Apeacefulday?"

Thousands of people around the world read the title of this video at almost the same time.

Belinda whispered the name a few times before clicking on the video.

At the beginning of the video, the screen is black, and then a line of simple white font "Apeacefulday" quietly emerges, and then the screen slowly goes dark, and when it lights up, there is a burst of random narration.

"Are you ready?" A slightly hoarse and tired male voice said.

whose voice is this?

Belinda frowned suspiciously, and then a female voice sounded from the earphone, "Get ready."

The picture gradually became clear. A blond woman was sitting in front of the window with her guitar in her arms. She glanced at the upper left corner, as if she had received the signal, and then the corner of her mouth slightly hooked, "Okay, let's start then."

She raised her hand to vibrate the strings of the guitar, opened her mouth, and the music flowed out naturally.

"Today is another peaceful day. I sat at home and opened the newspaper in my hand..."

"The news said that there was a shooting case recently. I was a little bit sad and drank my coffee."

"Of course we can fix the gun issue, and when I turned on the TV, I heard the speaker say that / I couldn't help but nod because I thought so too."

Elisa sang the lyrics in a narrative way, just like the title of her video——

Apeacefulday (calm day).

"And then I got a call."

At this point, the music stopped abruptly, and Elisa pressed the strings with her hand.

"A strange voice came from the other end of the phone, she said..."

"Sir, your child was shot and is in the hospital."

"Oh~FuckFuck~Fuck~

Oh~Shit Shit~Shit~"

"The speakers on TV are still saying their constructive opinions on the circulation of guns. Today is another quiet day."

In a clean guitar solo, the picture gradually fades to darkness.

During the ten days without sound, Elisa worked tirelessly to create this song, but it was a pity that she only had time to temporarily complete this 1-minute-long semi-finished product.

Below the video, Eliza commented on her personal Youtube account:

'This is a semi-finished song, and only this section has been completed, and the rest has not yet been produced.

1. The copyright of this song is open, and any form of cover does not require my authorization, but this song cannot be spoofed or used for commercial activities.

2. After the song is produced, it will be notified through official channels.

3. This song supports secondary lyrics dissemination within one month from now. The theme is related to the shooting case. You can post the lyrics in the comment area of ​​this video. On the last day of March, it will meet the requirements Three people were drawn from the comments to give me the first two official albums with my autograph and message, as well as a customized mini-album with three new songs. '

This video of Elisa is undoubtedly speaking out for the recent frequent school shootings, and even tried her best to lower the threshold for singing this song, promoting the spread of this song to the greatest extent, and even almost giving up the song for this reason. A large portion of the copyright interest in the song.

When Eliza first proposed this plan to Carlos, Carlos' first reaction was to refuse.

"It's a stupid decision." He told Elisa so bluntly for the first time.

But Eliza still insisted on her own ideas.

"I need this song to spread as widely as possible, and as soon as possible." She told Carlos her concerns without hesitation, "I am fighting for time, against the speed of public opinion, and for the government. Grab the time for your speech. I not only want to release this song, but also ensure that this song can catch up with this wave of public opinion in the shortest possible time. All public opinion has a time limit, once the opportunity is missed , there will never be a chance to form a decent public opinion force.”

She said her thoughts to Carlos seriously, "This song is a very targeted song. It faces the situation at this time and here. Compared with after the incident, it It is a work of conscience to be brought up again, and I hope that it can play its own role at such an appropriate time and place."

"What I want is to change the status quo, not to reminisce about the past."
