"The majority had spoken. We shall start with the next song, which I titled Ode to Mothers. It is a tribute song to all mothers out there to thank them for their love and earnestness in bringing us to this world.
Without their love from the start, we wouldn’t be here being who we are. So, take this chance to listen to the song. I hope that it will make you remember how special your mother is and how special you are as a mother or a mother-to-be!" with so much love and affection oozing from her, Diamond earnestly addressed her fans.
"Now that the song has been picked, I will announce the next mission. To release the next song ...." She dragged her words a bit, a sly smile on her face before finishing, "The number of plays of GoodMusic should exceed two million and the number of paid downloads should exceed one hundred thousand.
There are millions of you watching. I doubt that you can’t do that. Remember, once that is done, we can talk about releasing the third song!"
After dropping a crazy mission, she shut her mouth and Andrea dutifully started playing the song.
The viewers watching couldn’t help but comment.
[Damn! That’s quite a lot!]
[Hehe, we are indeed many. It’s not like we can’t manage it, right?]
[I guess we all need to play our part!]
While they were chatting, an unfamiliar song started ringing in their ears making everyone stop typing for a moment.
"In a cottage by the willows sway,
There lived a mother dear and bright,
Her laughter danced like morning rays,
And filled her children’s hearts with light."
"With gentle hands, she molded their dreams,
Through whispered nights and the softest sighs;
In every tear and joyous gleam,
She painted love beneath the skies."
"Oh, her children! So sweetly blessed,
Your hands are entwined with hers,
Through every storm, they would face unrest,
But together they stand strong with their hearts aligned."
Listening to the first three verses, the viewers and listeners were all astounded. The message was truly touching. It made them be lost in their thoughts.
Even those from the sports committee couldn’t help but be quiet as they reminisced about something.
Tiana, on the other side, her eyes were sparkling as she looked at Diamond as if she had seen a treasure.
’Haha, this is perfect! I guess we have so much to talk about once this is over!’
Diamond had no idea what the other people were thinking. She was just thinking to herself that these fans of hers shouldn’t finish the mission quickly. At the rate they were completing the missions, wouldn’t she be forced to play all her songs at this rate?
With so many thoughts swirling in her mind, Diamond unconsciously increased her pace and the number of people she was passing was increasing greatly. The fans watching all that were cheering on her. Especially when the drone would take a long shot to show the number of people who were in front of her.
Diamond, at this stage, was nearing the half point and according to the sports enthusiasts who were watching, as long as she maintained or even increased her pace, she would be able to beat her previous record.
Several minutes later, Diamond passed the half-point. Twenty-one kilometers had been covered, and she had run pretty well despite finishing the first half around fifty-something minutes.
If she hadn’t reduced her pace or stopped to entertain the fans, then her record would be great.
"In a quiet house where shadows fade,
