Chapter 762: Sea of Lights II



The lyrics echoed through the hall, each word pulling at the heartstrings of the audience. The sea of lights seemed to glow even brighter as if responding to the emotions being stirred by the song. Theo glanced out into the crowd, his red eyes sweeping over the mass of glowing lights. The connection he felt with his fans at that moment was unlike anything else—there was no wild cheering, no jumping or dancing, just a shared, quiet understanding of the emotions flowing through the music.

The gentle strum of the guitar continued to carry the song forward, and Theo's voice took on a softer, almost fragile quality as he moved into the second verse.

"Was never the right time, whenever you called

Went little, by little, by little until there was nothing at all

Our every moment, I start to replay

But all I can think about is seeing that look on your face

When you hurt under the surface

Like troubled water running cold

Well, time can heal, but this won't..."

Every note, every word, felt carefully chosen, the lyrics wrapping around the audience and pulling them deeper into the moment. This was what made Moonlight's music different-he could command a crowd with high-energy songs like "bad guy" or "Dance Monkey," but when it came to songs like "Before You Go," he had a way of making every listener feel seen, heard, and understood.

Then, in the middle of the song, Theo paused. He glanced over at his band and gave them a subtle nod. The band members understood immediately, and one by one, they stopped playing, leaving only the soft strumming of his guitar. The venue was now filled with the quiet hum of anticipation.

Theo leaned into the microphone. "Now, it's your turn," he said softly, his voice warm. "Sing it with me. Pour your heart out, sing with your heart!"

The crowd seemed to hang on to his every word. Theo strummed the guitar softly, leading into the chorus once more, and then he stopped playing altogether.

For a brief moment, there was nothing but silence, the kind of silence that feels alive with potential. Then, as if on cue, the crowd began to sing.

"So, before you go

Was there something I could've said

To make your heart beat better?

If only I'd have known you had a storm to weather

So, before you go

Was there something I could've said

To make it all stop hurting?

It kills me how your mind can make you feel so worthless

So, before you go..."

Their voices rose, soft at first, then growing louder, more confident. Thousands of voices filled the venue, singing in perfect harmony. The sound was overwhelming a chorus of pure emotion, raw and real. The sea of lights swayed gently in time with the music, creating a mesmerizing, almost dreamlike atmosphere.

Theo stood there, guitar in hand, listening to the crowd sing his song back to him. His heart swelled with emotion, and for a moment, he felt overwhelmed. He couldn't describe how he was feeling at that moment, it was only through sheer will that he didn't cry at that moment. 'Before You Go' was a song that meant so much to him, it was a song that made him think of the loved ones of his past life and what he could've said to them before leaving.

This was the magic of music, a song can mean different things to different people.

And when he sang this specific song, he sang for his brothers and sisters from his past life. This was the reason he performed.

This was the magic of live music-the connection, the shared experience. The fans weren't just spectators; they were a part of the performance.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

As the crowd sang the final lines of the chorus, Theo felt a lump in his throat. He hadn't expected to feel this emotional, but hearing the crowd's voices, seeing the sea of lights moving in unison-it was too much to ignore.

The band once again came back as Moonlight sang the chorus once again with his powerful and emotional voice.

He sang with his heart.

He let the moment stretch, allowing the crowd to hold the song in their hands for a little while longer. Then, when the final notes of the chorus had faded into the air, he began to play again, his guitar filling the space with soft, gentle strumming.

Theo's voice returned, low and filled with emotion.

"And now you're gone, but the memories will never fade."

The song began to wind down, the tempo slowing even further as the final verses unfolded. The crowd remained quiet, listening intently, their lights still glowing in the dimmed venue. The atmosphere was serene, and ethereal, as if the entire world had slowed down just for this moment.

As the last chord rang out, Moonlight's voice softened to a whisper.

"Before you go..."

The note hung in the air, and then, finally, it faded into silence. For a brief moment, there was nothing but stillness-a deep, profound silence that filled the entire venue.

As the final notes of the song faded into silence, the hall remained still for a long moment, as if no one wanted to break the spell that had been cast over the venue. Theo let the last note hang in the air, his fingers resting on the strings of the guitar, his head bowed slightly as he absorbed the energy in the room.

For a moment, there was complete silence. Then, slowly, the crowd erupted into applause- not the wild, frenzied kind, but the kind filled with heartfelt appreciation, with gratitude for the moment they had just shared with him. It was a standing ovation, filled with admiration and love.

Theo stood quietly for a moment, his fingers lightly grazing the strings of the guitar as the applause washed over him. He raised his head, gazing out at the sea of lights once more, his red eyes glowing softly under the stage lights.

At that moment, he felt like he was floating in this sea of lights.

He felt a happiness that he couldn't put into words.

Theo had shared something intimate with the fans tonight, something personal, and they had given him their hearts in return. And in this moment, with the venue bathed in soft light and the echoes of "Before You Go" still hanging in the air, he knew that this was what he was

meant to do.

"Thank you," he said softly into the mic, his voice low and sincere, "I love you, guys!"

AAAAAAAHHHHHHH

The sea of lights flickered back in response as the crowd cheered loudly, it was a bond that went beyond music.
