Tao Jian was slightly stunned by everyone's strong recommendation.

Ye Zhiqiu released a new song?

He could be considered a loyal fan of Ye Zhiqiu, but he had been too busy working overtime these past two days and had indeed not paid attention to the news online.

This is also related to Ye Zhiqiu's song release style. When other singers release new songs, they usually preheat them in advance, decide the release time based on market response, promote them heavily, and then put them on various charts. In short, they try to maximize benefits as much as possible.

People like Ye Zhiqiu, who say something today and release it tomorrow, or even release a few new songs at any time, can indeed be considered a "weirdo" in the pop music scene.

He ignored all the considerations that other singers had to make.

After all, he is the "big devil" that others are afraid to avoid.

Inside the bar, everyone was cheering loudly. It seemed that Ye Zhiqiu's new song "Ideal Thirty" was of very high quality and was well-liked by fans.

Some people who have never heard of it are also whispering to their friends about it.

"Sorry." Tao Jian smiled bitterly and waved his hands. "I haven't had time to listen to this new song yet. I'll sing it to everyone after I learn it."

"It doesn't matter! Just let it go!"

"You can just play a song."

"Yeah, I haven't heard of it either."

"It just so happens that you have a nice stereo."

The sound equipment in the bar is really good, costing more than 7 yuan per set, and the playback effect is quite good.

Since the customer requested it so eagerly, Tao Jian and the boss looked at each other for confirmation and did not refuse. He quickly searched for the song on the computer.

After clicking play, Tao Jian moved the stool under his butt to take a break.

The prelude of the song begins with the sound of sea tides, birds singing, and the clang of trains running over rails, followed by the sound of guitar chords and Ye Zhiqiu's smooth and low singing voice.

[A car is coming after the rain

Driving through the pale twilight

Old iron sheet heading south

The lover is no longer here...】

It turned out to be a folk song. Tao Jian, who was listening attentively, was stunned. He didn't expect that Ye Zhiqiu's new song would be a folk song.

He was surprised because Ye Zhiqiu hadn't released a new folk song for a long time.

Tao Jian’s favorite music style is folk music, so he was a little surprised when he first heard this song.

Then, he was quickly attracted by the song itself.

In the song, Ye Zhiqiu's voice is like sandpaper soaked in pine soot ink, low and slightly hoarse, which makes people unconsciously think of the scene of an old green train rolling over the rails in the dusk with light rain.

[...The emotionless cough, at least it seems

The way home is still cute

The strings lack posture

Never see the child who listened to the song that night again...】

Hearing this, Tao Jian was already somewhat drawn into the lyrics.

In the old green train sat people returning home in a hurry and tired.

In a room somewhere, the guitar that was once held lovingly in the hands of a young boy was placed lonely in the corner, covered with a thick layer of dust.

The child who once sat at the desk with a radio and listened to music with dreams and aspirations has disappeared...

For a moment, Tao Jian was in a trance.

The scenes in these lyrics are my past selves.

Born in an ordinary family in a small county, he loves music very much. With his passion, he seemed to have made some waves when he was young, but as he grew older, these waves were eventually drowned by the tide of pressure in real life...

At this time, Ye Zhiqiu was still singing.

[...Just grow old, and don't wake up alone

You long to leave

Just nowhere to stop

Just sing, close your eyes

And the collapse of hot tears

It’s just the existence that hasn’t arrived]

Gradually, the small bar space became quieter and quieter, with only Ye Zhiqiu's hoarse singing voice slowly flowing.

When they sang the chorus, Tao Jian in the corner sniffed and took a deep breath. He felt a little blocked in his chest and his eyes were a little sore.

In the blurred peripheral vision, some customers in the bar had blurred eyes, some were holding their glasses motionless, and some took off their glasses and wiped their eyes...

If wandering is a sign of growth, then

You woke up in the years

That barren future...】

Hearing this, Tao Jian felt an even greater blockage in his chest.

The melody of this song is not outstanding, nor does it have profound singing techniques, but it can touch the deepest part of a middle-aged man's heart.

Because, through the hazy and misty mood in the lyrics, he seemed to see himself from more than ten years ago.

Sanxun means thirty years old.

Ideal is exclusive to the young. For a man in his thirties, it is such a luxurious word.

In fact, when I loaded my heavy suitcases and stood on the southbound train platform, all the difficulties of my ideals, the pains of growing up, and the reconciliation of the years were handed over at the station on that rainy night.

As the train left, the ideals were left behind.

The ideal of a middle-aged man should not be music, but work, earn money, house, car, daily necessities...

But is this really the ideal, or do you have to live up to it?

In the quiet bar, Ye Zhiqiu sang his last song.

[...No more meaningless sighs

I think I understand

The place where the dream collapsed is now covered with moss.

After the song ended, the bar was silent for a long time, and then applause broke out.

Among the crowd, resident singer Tao Jian clapped particularly enthusiastically.

After the song "Ideal Thirty" was released, it became a hot search on Weibo in just half an hour.

Not only that, its popularity continued to soar, and by the evening, it had topped the hot search list.

The song comment section has become a large-scale confession site for netizens.

"A middle-aged man in his thirties burst into tears after hearing this."

"I used to think 30 was a long time away, but it's here in the blink of an eye."

"Among all Ye Zhiqiu's works, this song is not the best, but it is the one that moved me the most."

"Ideals last for thirty years, but one decade is defeated by the ideals of youth, one decade is defeated by the immature and ignorant love, and one decade is defeated by the vicissitudes and loneliness of reality."

“When you think making money is important, your youth is over.”

"Society will kill everyone who thinks he is right."

"I met a boy who was lively and cheerful a few years ago, but now he was exhausted and his eyes were dull... I wanted to comfort him, so I reached out and touched the mirror..."

A song can become popular because it sounds good or because its lyrics resonate with people...

The song "Ideal Thirty" possesses both qualities, and since the singer is Ye Zhiqiu, there is no reason why it wouldn't be popular.

On the second day after its release, the song swept across all music platforms and topped the charts of new songs, hot songs, etc.

As a promotional song, the popularity of "Ideal Thirty" has also boosted the publicity of the movie "Hello! Mr. Tree", and many more netizens are paying attention to it.

However, for Ye Zhiqiu, this is far from over.

The second new song arrived as promised.
