“I also want to witness the awe-inspiring power of human civilization with my own eyes and be your ally. When you face enemies, I want to hand you weapons that I’ve made myself, and watch you tear apart those compound-eyed foes.”
Rainer’s voice choked up as he spoke, “It’s just a pity that I was born in this era and have no hope of experiencing it.”
He looked up at the distant sky, “But it’s fine. As long as I know that our descendants can achieve such accomplishments, I have no regrets in this life. I think if the ancient people from a thousand years ago knew that we are now capable of reaching the heavens, communicating over thousands of miles, saving pregnant women with amniotic fluid blockage, and rescuing countless lives from terrifying plagues, they would be as satisfied as I am.”
“Harrison, this time I will work even harder to lay a solid foundation for you throughout my whole life. When you go to the future, you must do your best too.”
Harrison patted him on the shoulder, “Of course.”
Two hours later, Carrie Thomas and Avril Green emerged.
Avril held a notebook full of music notes with a joyful expression.
There was a hint of admiration in her eyes as she looked at Carrie.
During these two hours, Carrie had managed to complete the entire arrangement of the song in one go.
Her proficiency with various instruments was so impressive, and every chord was so beautifully embedded and reassembled that it left Avril in awe.
It was as if she could see colorful rainbow bricks flying together from thin air, building a magnificent palace on their own.
Avril couldn’t help but think that people’s assessment of Carrie’s talent was not exaggerated at all.
Carrie possessed terrifying creative explosiveness and an unparalleled mastery of various instruments and even the sounds of nature. This was an absolute talent that others could only envy.
At the same time, she had an inexplicable passion for creation that ran through her entire life, until the very end.
I’ve really chosen an invincible and strong opponent for myself.
Clap clap!
Carrie clapped her hands, “Everyone, we’ve finished writing the song. It’s finalized, no edits.”
Harrison then remembered to ask, “What’s the name of the song?”
Avril answered, “Never Walk Alone.”
Harrison was first taken aback but then rejoiced.
As the name suggests, the theme of the song was clear.
Collaboration, teamwork, fate community…
Beyond that, there was no need to think about anything else.
In the previous timeline, after witnessing the combined effects of “Morning Wind” and “Sharp edges fully exposed,” which indirectly led to the spokesperson wars, he had wondered if he could subtly coax Carrie into creating a song advocating teamwork to counterbalance the individualistic theme of “Sharp edges fully exposed.”
He couldn’t directly request it, as forced essays might lack soul and might not be as powerful as “Sharp edges fully exposed.”
He needed to subtly guide Carrie’s thinking so that she would feel the urge to create. However, this delicate manipulation was so intricate that Harrison didn’t plan to achieve it all at once. He intended to do it slowly and leave the outcome to fate.
He didn’t expect that laying the cards on the table today and involving everyone would make everything fall into place so smoothly.
Harrison had already witnessed the power of Carrie’s on-the-spot creation of “Dreamwalking in Virgo.”
Avril was known for her creative talent in the past.
So, Harrison had high hopes for their collaborative song, “Never Walk Alone.” “Great! Excellent! Amazing! Are you going to the recording studio to record now? Both of you singing together? Releasing a single?” Harrison asked cheerfully.
Half an hour later…
Harrison held the guitar in his arms and glanced at Julia Lambert, who was nervously adapting to the drum set nearby, feeling bewildered.
How did I end up selling myself out too?
He didn’t know whether it was Avril’s or Carrie’s idea, but they both agreed that the song should not be performed by someone else, and that all six of them had to participate.
As a result, the two women were the main vocals.
Carrie also played the bass while Avril played the rhythm guitar.
Fat Boy Owen didn’t get to sing, but fortunately, he could play the piano well.
Rainer was a semi-professional in the music circle and excelled at playing the keyboard.
As for Harrison, he was the lead guitarist.
The only weakness in the team was Julia Lambert, who had an amateur level of drumming skills.
At first, Julia hesitated to join the performance, fearing that her subpar skills would affect the overall level of the song. But she couldn’t resist everyone’s encouragement.
Carrie and Avril said the main purpose of writing the song was to let Harrison hear it in the future and remember the scene of the six of them recording together, so he would never forget the five friends who walked alongside him in the 21st century.
Thus, the recording environment didn’t matter, and they didn’t need to go to a professional recording studio. The fluctuating skill levels of the performers didn’t matter either.
What mattered most was that it had to be the six of them.
Before the first recording session, Owen, who had an obsession with naming things, suddenly said, “We resemble a band, we should give our band a name.”
Carrie nodded, “It’s a good idea. Otherwise, it’d be difficult to credit the song.” Everyone turned to Harrison for the name.
After pondering for a few seconds, Harrison said, “Alright, let’s call our band ‘Solution.'”
So began their first and last work, “Never Walk Alone,” the first joint practice of Solution.
This song was strange, as its arrangement resembled rock music, but the vocals of the two main singers were an eclectic mix of pop and opera.
One had to admit that both Carrie and Avril had incredible voices and a great sense of music gifted by nature. Even without deliberate practice, their casual singing could captivate listeners..
