Lisco's American Life

There was an area reserved for street performances in the square. Lisko followed the instructions and paid the money and connected his speakers and microphones.

Someone saw that someone was planning to perform and sing here and was already waiting nearby. Lisko followed the rules and placed the guitar case in front of the microphone.

Strict street performers also need to make a songbook of their favorite songs and put them in front of them so that tourists can order songs, but here in Lisko they are all omitted.

I tried the sound check. The guitar was well maintained by Carew and did not need any tuning. Lisko tried the posture and was ready to start performing.

A melodious guitar prelude sounded, and several tourists passing by stopped in front of him.

Lisko's clear singing voice came from the microphone, "It's like heaven, West Virginia."

Lanling Mountain, Shenandoah River

The life there is older than the trees."

After Liske was reborn, not only was his physical condition satisfactory, but his voice was also beyond his expectations. He liked singing in his previous life, but he was too embarrassed to perform for others, so he hummed by himself.

Despite his busy work schedule, he still finds time to learn guitar, which shows his love for music.

He believes that music, like words, can bring about emotional fluctuations in people.

Of course there are also good movies.

The song I am singing now is the masterpiece of singer John Denver. He is a veteran American country singer and is also known as "synonymous with country music."

This song that Lisko likes was discovered while listening to it while writing some time ago. The main content talks about the longing and desire for pastoral life, and its singing can reflect a cheerful scene of being on a country road.

Lisko played this melodious song in the pasture and felt very relaxed listening to the singer's emotional chant.

The prosperity of big cities is always the same, but the beautiful scenery of the countryside can always capture every natural creature unintentionally.

Lisko always liked this point of view.

More and more people are staying. Lisko's voice is clear and translucent, and he expresses this song very well and makes it immersive.

The piano case in front of him already had some scattered tips, which was a good start.

After singing a song, the crowd had already applauded, and Lisko's usually relaxed face was stained with a hint of shyness.

The feeling of performing alone at home is different from that of performing in front of a group of people. Lisko has not had this experience and subconsciously felt a little shy.

He took out the water from his backpack, opened it and took a sip to moisten his throat.

After thinking about it carefully, he played another piece of music that he had listened to most since he was a child.

The prelude is a chord with a somewhat cheerful rhythm.

"People say you have to leave the village

I will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile

I know you'll take away all the sunshine

It lighted my way."

This song is Garrison's Cowboy Song. Lisko often played this song at home when he was a child. It is also an essential chorus song for cowboys' gatherings. Colt and Rooster are also familiar with this song.

This is a Canadian folk song. The main content talks about reclaiming wasteland, building homes, developing cities, and finally turning the bison-infested wasteland into a home for people to live in. It also has the meaning of a cowboy's love story.

It was the favorite song of Bo's generation. They rode on horseback, hummed this song and herded cattle, and lived a very comfortable life.

This kind of relaxing music also resonates with tourists, which can be seen from the increasing number of tips in front of them.

Lisko slowly began to let go, his body swaying with the playing of the guitar.

After singing a few songs, Lisko felt a little tired. He planned to sing the last song before leaving.

Because the seats in the square are limited, Lisko only paid for one hour when he came in. After all, he was just a guest appearance. It would not be good to delay other singers who really make a living by singing and go hungry tonight.

The last song was intended to stir up the atmosphere and make people lively, so he chose a song that everyone would hum, "Take Me to Your Heart."

As a very popular English song in 2006, Liske certainly knew that this song was a cover of the song God's Kiss Goodbye.

"Hiding in the rain and snow

Trying to forget, but how can I leave like this

Looking at the bustling streets

But I can only hear my own heartbeat

so many people in the world

Please tell me where I can find a girl like you

Keep me in your heart and in your soul.”

This song was adapted by the singer group Mike Xue and is very famous in areas where English is fluent. The brisk rhythm is less sad and more affectionate than the version of the singer. The arrangement is fresh and beautiful, and the lyrics are easy to understand.

, so it sounds catchy. Even if you don’t know the name of this song, you may have heard a fragment of it on a street corner.

"Keep me in your heart and in your soul

Give me your hand before I get old

Asking what love is before we leave each other

Ask about the miracle happening”

The crowd was already humming along, and the catchy rhythm made people unable to help but sing along.

At the end of the song, applause rang out again. Lisko bowed, packed his luggage, and the crowd began to disperse.

"Hey." As soon as Lisko finished pretending, he heard a crisp voice.

Looking up, there were several people, each holding a musical instrument, a quartet of two girls and two boys. Judging from their age, they should be students.

"I'll be leaving right away." Lisko explained. He could see that this orchestra-type performance group was the one who rented the space for him later.

"It's okay," the leading boy, wearing a leather jacket, seemed to be talking to Lisko enthusiastically.

"My name is Jayne. We have been watching you for a long time. Your voice is very clear. It is really a great performance."

Lisko was a little confused, "Thank you."

"Don't get me wrong, I am British and traveling here. They are all my classmates."

Jayne had short red hair and looked very artistic. Lisko looked at the other companions, and they all looked outstanding.

"Hello, just call me Li. I'm an American and I'm here to travel."

Although Lisko's mentality is a bit old, the people he deals with are all in their thirties and forties, so his behavior and methods are a bit serious. But his actual age is only twenty-four, which is when others graduated from college.

After chatting, Lisko learned about another boy named Barton, and two girls, one with golden hair named Isabella, and one with brown hair named Shalis.

They are a British electronic band. They are all students at the University of the Arts London. They come here to travel during the holidays and perform along the way to earn some travel expenses.

Of course Lisko didn't believe that they were from a poor family. Looking at how many of them were dressed, he knew that some of them had rich backgrounds and were able to learn art. Some of them were from ordinary families.
