Best Actor

    Matthew Burden is a 35-year-old white taxi driver who has been driving in New York for eight years. He loves the city, although every day he wakes up and scolds the city government and the Department of Transportation Last time.

    "Feel God, I live in New York and nowhere else," he always tells his friends.

    When the disaster happened two months ago, he happened to send a guest to Brooklyn. After hearing the news from the car radio, he immediately drove over to the rescue operation, but fell behind the police. In the back, it didn't play a role, but he still helped several lightly injured people to the hospital.

    When he watched the burning World Trade Building fall down across several streets, something in his heart seemed to collapse along with it. This city has not experienced any disaster for more than 100 years. , to be attacked like this is really terrible, how could God let this happen? !

    For weeks afterward, he was in a trance, unhappy and at a loss. With the help of his friends, Matthew managed to cheer himself up, but he couldn't go back to the way he was before. Although he returned to work, not only did he lose his smile, but he often quarreled with passengers.

    "Don't **** tell me everything's going to be alright, what do you people know! You're just watching on TV from start to finish, and it's always us New Yorkers who face this disaster!" Matthew cried a little irritably.

    "Hey, man, I just want to comfort you!" The passenger was also very dissatisfied. If it weren't for his good temper, I'm afraid he'd be full of old punches.

    That's the case, in this taxi parked on the street, the atmosphere still looks tense.

    Then a voice came from the car radio that was always on: "Hey, listeners who are still in front of the radio, I'm your old friend Parker Weiss, and it's our daily Monday again. Time for a song. Today I'm going to recommend a special song for you, maybe you've listened to too many prayers for America and New York over the past few weeks, but this one stands out Different. I don't want to go into detail about the song and the singer, although it's a very surprising singer, and I think it's better with music."

    Next, a melodious melody was uploaded from the radio. brain.

    "When Iamdownand, ohmysoul, soweay..." A strong male voice sang, and it seemed so light, and the feeling of lifting the weight lightly made people's eyes light up.

      Listen. Then, when the climax of the chorus came, the emotions that had been accumulated and the emotions that had been raised were suddenly fully vented.

    "Youraisemeup, soIcanstandonmountains!" With this lyric, the audience seems to be raised to a height and then fall down, the creepy feeling is extraordinarily comfortable.

    "Youraisemeup, towalkonstormyseas!" And the thick male voice is like a thick cushion, catching them firmly and sending them up, just like riding a roller coaster, ups and downs from time to time, and like walking through stormy waves, Accompanied by the melodious Scottish bagpipes, people have the urge to cry.

    "AndIamstrong, whenIamonyourshoulders;YouraisemeuptomorethanIcanbe;YouraisemeuptomorethanIcanbe..." With this strong and atmospheric voice, the four-minute song came to an end, but the melodious and calming melody seemed to still be stay in the air.

    After a while, Matthew in the car sighed and wiped his eyes. Although there were no tears, there was still a moist feeling.

    "Sorry man, I'm just...I'm just..." he said to his passenger in a choked tone.

    "I understand, I understand, I should also apologize for my actions, I should consider your mood, the executioner must pay for it." The passenger also sighed.

    Then the two of them hugged gently. The tense atmosphere before was swept away after this song on the radio was broadcast.

    Scenes like this, with the song "YOURAISEMEUP" being broadcast on the radio, have been staged all over the United States in the past two days.

    Susie is a housewife living in New Jersey. She lost her husband on flight 93, and her life has been overshadowed since then, and she can't get rid of it, and her two children also Unable to take care of it, after spending a few months in such a daze. Even though her sister warned her that she might face the risk of being deprived of custody if she went on like this, she knew she had to cheer up, but she couldn't pull herself up, as if something was stuck in her heart and she was at a loss.

    Until one day, two well-behaved children turned on the radio deliberately and wanted to play some music to make their mother happy. When the song played, Susie's heart was suddenly opened. All kinds of pain swarmed out, and the feelings of loss rolled down, and immediately burst into tears while holding the child.

    Alix is ​​a young busker. On the day of the disaster, he was performing near Wall Street. He saw the plane crash into the Twin Towers. The terrible shocking scene always haunts him, so even if Two months have passed, and he still goes to Times Square every day. Like many unforgettable people, he finds a corner to light a candle to mourn. Then on this day, after lighting the candles in his routine, he held the guitar while talking and singing, and the song he sang was a song he had just learned from the radio.

    When he heard it for the first time, he was hit like an electric shock, and the tumultuous feeling seemed to have all the things he wanted to say for the past few months but didn't know how to say it. It was revealed that the upward spirit swept away the haze in his heart, so he tried his best to listen and learn, and finally sang in public at this time. Although there are still some things missing and words are missing in some places, the deep and devoted feelings still brought applause from many people who stopped to listen, and many pulled him to ask the name of the song.

    Elena is a white-collar worker living in Boston. Her best friend was on the hijacked flight from Boston to San Francisco on 9/11. Although she finally got out of the shadow of losing her friends, she still doesn't know how to commemorate her. They are the best friends. When she was the most difficult in her life, the other party pulled her and encouraged her. Stick to it.

    When Elena heard this song, she had already vented her feelings, and the waves rolled again, making her want to shout out loud. So, at the public meeting to commemorate the victims in the municipal square that night, I used my identity as one of the initiators to connect the radio with the loudspeaker, and then called the radio to order the song. When the beautiful melody sounded, Thousands of people in the audience were moved by it.

    A beautiful and moving song swept the whole of North America like this, which everyone - including radio stations, music critics and producers - did not expect, and the identity of the singer was broken. ground glasses.

    "Music as beautiful as a hymn, soothing and uplifting, just right to heal people's heartache." Rolling Stone magazine said so.

    "Billboard" also praised: "The melody and lyrics are perfectly combined, this is a perfect work, this is the best comfort for us at this time."

    "YOURAISEMEUP", which is so sought after, has become well-known in just a few days, and it is no surprise that it has reached the top of the "Billboard" list, bringing a lot of big names They have stepped on it, and the level of popularity, even if Michael Jackson's "What More CanIGive" is released now, I am afraid it may not necessarily be able to snipe the opponent's momentum.

    Interestingly, neither "Rolling Stone" nor "Billboard" mentioned the name of the singer who sang the song. As for the reason... just look at the "New York Post".

    "There is no doubt that "YOURAISEMEUP" is the first song, it warms and inspires everyone, but no one expected that in the production of a small cost high box office After the movie, Sean Tang began to get involved in the music industry, and also made a very perfect song, he seems to be drifting away from the actor industry. That's okay, use his talents in the right place, that's the only way The thing to do, right?" This is part of the New York Post's coverage of the song.

    First, he affirmed the shock and influence brought by "YOURAISEMEUP", and then the conversation changed, and he began to covertly sneer at Sean, saying that he was not doing his job properly, saying that he lost his actor career While doing other things, it also implies that he is not suitable for being an actor at all. I really don't know where Sean offended them, but as long as there is a topic, they will make a big deal.

    "To be honest, you must have robbed a woman of the editor or even the editor-in-chief of the New York Post?" While Sean was looking at the New York Post depressedly, Frederick Ke rarely asked in such a sarcastic manner.

    "Do I look like that?" Sean asked immediately.

    "Okay, you're not." The manager laughed and didn't bother with him, "Okay, be happy, man, your single is getting a big hit."

    "I know, but...why are you so happy?" Sean rolled his eyes, "Aren't you worried that I will focus on music because of the huge popularity of "YOURAISEMEUP"? "

    "I might have to worry about moving to other areas, but music is absolutely impossible," Frederick said with an "I know" smug look, "not every time you To be able to come across a suitable song - to be honest, you are lucky, you can find any melody that suits the social environment."

    "Well...that's how lucky I am." Sean shrugged.

    Well, he admits that when he asked to write the lyrics from the perspective of "Youraisemeup", he actually felt a little familiar in his heart, maybe...there was a similar song in a previous life?
