《Welcome to the Black Parade》
When I was a young boy,
My father took me into the city,
To see a marching band.
He said, “Son when you grow up,
would you be the savior of the broken, The beaten and the damned?”
He said, “Will you defeat them,
your demons, and all the non-believers, the plans that they have made?
Because one day, I`ll leave you,
A phantom to lead you in the summer,
To join the black parade.”
When I was a young boy,
My father took me into the city,
To see a marching band.
He said, “Son when you grow up,
would you be the savior of the broken, The beaten and the damned?”

这首歌几乎变成了全场大合唱,似乎全国各地的歌迷都赶来了现场,只为在这一刻加入这场黑色游行,完成庆祝这支乐队回归的仪式感。
现场不少歌迷都激动地哭了,不知是太爱这首歌,还是舍不得与这场狂欢告别。
江焱不知什么时候放开了陆辰辞的肩膀,当陆辰辞意识到这件事并转头看向他,发现他脸上反射着一道远处舞台上的灯光——他也哭了。
他在跟着唱,唱的很好听,只是声音带着些许的嘶哑和颤抖。
泪水沿着他的脸颊滑落,他浑然不知,却敏锐地察觉到陆辰辞落在自己脸上的目光。
他转头回望陆辰辞,这才意识到自己哭了,眼前已经一片模糊。
他抬起胳膊在脸上胡乱抹了一把,然后不好意思地笑了:“真丢脸……你能不能假装没看到?”
陆辰辞把一包纸巾塞到他手里:“不丢脸。”
Sometimes I get the feeling, she`s watching over me.
And other times I feel like I should go.
When through it all, the rise and fall, the bodies in the streets.
And when you`re gone we want you all to know——
We`ll Carry on, We`ll Carry on
And though you`re dead and gone, believe me
Your memory will Carry on
We`ll Carry on
And in my heart, I can`t contain it,
The anthem won`t explain it.
这首歌让江焱再度陷入回忆。
在火山熔岩还没有正式成立的时候,他们喜欢的乐队MCR在大洋彼岸发布了这首《Welcome To Black Parade》,十四岁的江焱爱死了这首歌,到处拉人临时组了个乐队,想要排练这首歌,在学校的跨年晚会上表演。
然而这首歌旋律层次丰富,编曲结构复杂,网上又找不到现成的乐谱,大家都不想扒谱,于是江焱独自花了好几天时间,把整支乐谱一点一点扒了出来,然后又花费很大精力做了改编。
改编这样一支复杂曲目的难度不亚于写一首新歌,这对于少年江焱来说是一件超有成就感的事,然而大家拿到乐谱都傻了眼,觉得太超出能力范围了。文崇飞劝江焱放弃,理由是这首歌表演难度太高,而且蕴含太多愤怒的、复杂的情绪,不适合初中生。
文崇飞:“阿焱,这首歌不适合我们,它太复杂了。”
江焱:“但我们都很喜欢这首歌啊。”
文崇飞:“你喜欢天上的月亮,不代表你要把它摘下来。”
他们最终放弃了表演这首歌,但并江焱并不认为天上的月亮不能摘。
