Chapter 1677 1677 Soul Baptism
Close your eyes, hold your breath, close your other perceptions, let the darkness slowly surround you, block all noise, leave only your ears, and listen carefully.
In the dark night, the iceberg moved slowly and silently. There was hardly any sound. Even the sound of breaking waves was dissipated in the biting cold wind. It was silent like a deserted desert, but the air was shaking gently. The cold and desolate aura gradually burst in, and when he reacted, the overwhelming coldness had already swallowed him up, and there was no chance for him to resist at all, and then he fell into a blizzard of ice and snow, and lost himself in a daze.
This is the only feeling David has for "Sail", without any fancy melodies, without any complicated arrangements, without any embellished lyrics, without any dazzling singing... just the simplest drums, just It is the simplest vocabulary, but in Hugo's mellow and gentle voice, endless energy erupted, making him lose the power to fight back and completely lost in this music.
The biting cold slowly surrounded him, like a snowflake falling on the skin, light and gentle, and then penetrated into the skin little by little, all the pores on the whole body were opened, and the icy aura all poured in in an instant In the body, entangled with blood. The cotton is together, entwining every bone tightly, and finally every bone and every muscle in the body freezes into ice.
He opened his eyes suddenly, only to find that the hot tears in his eyes made the whole world blurred and dazed.
Trembling, trembling, trembling again. David was breathing heavily, but the whole person still sat there, feeling the shock and trembling of his soul being baptized. The energy that erupted from the depths of the soul was like a storm of ice and blood, swept in, but released It was as hot as a volcano. The collision of extreme cold and extreme heat left David's mind blank and ethereal.
David did not snap up the tickets for the "Rainstorm" Rose Bowl concert. He was going to go to the scene in San Francisco to experience the charm of Glory to Death, but he heard his colleagues mentioned countless times that Glory to Death was sung during the encore. The repertoires are simplified and ingenious. Hugo uses the simplest, most concise and most direct way to convey the purest, truest and most shocking essence of music.
When he heard these rumors, David scoffed. Although he admired Hugo quite a bit, in his opinion, these praises from his peers were still too exaggerated. Of course, deep down, David is still looking forward to it, because even if he doesn't agree with those views, it still means that the third series of Glory to Death is worth looking forward to.
But now... far beyond expectations! David even thinks that even the perfect praise is not enough to express his inner love for glory to death, nor his admiration for such a musical genius as Hugo.
Some people say that Hugo showed the atmosphere and grandeur in the song "Beautiful. Day", and his arrangement and lyrics perfectly combined classical rock and modern rock, almost creating an insurmountable peak; some people It is said that Hugo showed delicacy and fragility in the song "Wonderwall". The flowing melody and poetic lyrics vividly showed the most real emotions in the heart, and almost wrote a famous history. 's imprint.
It is precisely because the album "Bath in the Morning Light" has brought too many surprises, so people are more and more looking forward to the third album of Glory to Death, and they are more and more worried that the third album of Glory to Death will collapse and fall to the bottom. abyss. But now, David knew that Glory to Death did not live up to any expectations. On the contrary, among the high expectations, Glory to Death once again brought surprises and shocked his soul once again.
In terms of arrangement, the song "Voyage" is definitely not as good as "Beautiful Day", and it can't even be regarded as a first-class level of glory to death; in terms of lyrics, the song "Voyage" cannot be compared with "Lost Wall". You can't count on one hand the songs that are better than that. But the fact is that "sailing" returns to its basics. Under Hugo's interpretation, it brings the most unimaginable feeling in the most essential way, as if... it is like a master of martial arts who has reached the state of perfection. You don't need a sword that cuts iron like mud, just flying flowers and picking leaves, you can see blood seal your throat.
For David, "Beautiful Day" is only suitable for appreciating, too cold; "Lost Wall" is only suitable for listening, too soft. But "sailing" is my favorite, and this is the crystallization of the Glory to Death rock spirit. It fully displays the unyielding, tenacious, tough, free and easy, and tenacity of this rock band, just like the sun shining brightly. Unleashing endless heat, even moths want to bathe in the sun, and then run towards the sun recklessly.
Even David himself did not expect, after dedicating two works of such high quality and high level - almost equivalent to four or even six excellent albums of others - after dedicating "Almost Famous" and "Bathing in the Morning". , actually burst out with such energy, the title song is already an absolute classic beyond "A Beautiful Day" and "The Wall" - at least David thinks so. It wasn't until the hot tears on his cheeks became cold that he remembered and wiped away the traces of those tears.
In fact, the "voyage" is just the beginning, the shock has not had time to dissipate, and the next wonderful songs are one after another, just like a gust of wind and rain, leaving people without any breathing space, layer upon layer, continuous The Jedi swept in. Perhaps, this is yet another explanation for the album title.
David couldn't help but compared his eyes again, turned his hearing sensitivity to the maximum, tasted every song carefully, felt the soul hidden in those melodies with his heart, and all the cells in his body were happy. Dancing, using all his strength to express his joy and joy. After the entire CD was played, David couldn't help but savor it, as if the music was dancing wildly on the tip of his tongue, and his taste buds were blooming proudly like the sunshine in early spring.
The A side has been played, so what about the B side? What's going on with the B side? This is the most intriguing part of the entire album "Rainstorm", and perhaps... the biggest surprise.
That's what happened, when David heard the outdoor studio version of the "Voyage" melody, his brain was hit by a powerful shock wave, and he crashed in an instant. Hugo is really too bold, wanton and crazy! Glory to Death is crazy, and EMI is crazy too! But... the madness of all this is just too good.
Listen, listen carefully, the wind, human voice, and engine sound after the drum beat are the purest natural sound and social sound, which can be called the sound of life. Those trivial and messy sounds are completely integrated with the melody, and it may not be called perfect - because it is not perfect at all, on the contrary, there are many flaws, but it is precisely this flaw that makes the back of the music extremely vivid. way of sketching in the mind.
Closing his eyes once again, David seemed to be able to see the noisy streets, the crowds, the busy life, and the glorious team members stood in the crowd, with pleasant smiles on their faces and enthusiasm. And focused on playing the instrument in his hand; suddenly, the scenery changed, David seemed to see the canyon, the grand canyon, the raging wind whistled in his ears, Hugo ran wildly in the woods, mouth Li was constantly roaring, "Sail! Sailing!" The sound of the wind became his help, making him run faster and faster, and then... and then even if he jumped, Hugo rose into the air, Fly high against the wind.
In an instant, all the adrenaline rushed towards the heart, and David didn't realize it himself. He stood up suddenly, his hands clenched into fists, and his whole body was shaking slightly because he was too excited, and the blood was circulating. He couldn't find an outlet for his passion, he could only breathe in big mouthfuls, his chest heaving violently, even with his eyes closed, the tears oozing out of the corners of his eyes from being too excited were still glistening.
If the A side is the most rocky album, then the B side is the most glorious album.
David wanted to worship like never before, and even with all his life's thoughts, he couldn't have imagined that Dying of Glory would have created their third album in this way. Almost without any explanation, he knew clearly: this is the glory of death! Glory to Death is such a band! That kind of shock, that kind of moving, that kind of purity, vividly shows the beauty of music and the spirit of rock and roll, and penetrates into the soul of every listener.
Paying homage, David couldn't contain any thoughts other than this thought at the moment.
David just stood there foolishly, raised his chin slightly, looked up at the "darkness" above his head, listened to the indescribable melody in the speaker, and waited for the whole album to finish playing, his whole body was full. His muscles didn't relax at all, he just stood there in a daze. After a long time, the muscles all over his body suddenly loosened, and then he fell down on the sofa and let out a long sigh, but he couldn't put out the raging flames in his heart.
At this moment, David finally understood the intention of EMI Records. The reason why this "Storm Storm" was successful, or the reason why EMI Records was so confident, was not only because it was the much-anticipated glory to death, but also because it was The most essential and purest glory is to die. It was a big gamble, and amid the overwhelming publicity war between Maria and Oasis, EMI was unimpressed, because they knew that Maria and Oasis' bet was nothing in the face of glory to death. "Rapid storms", either achieve unparalleled glory, or fall into a bottomless abyss of fiasco, there is no middle value. B-side innovation and challenges, this is an unprecedented gamble.
Therefore, even without any publicity strategy, "Rapid Storm" is already invincible. It is not the publicity war that can really defeat this album, but the passion that belongs to music and rock in everyone's heart. This is also the most glorious way to die, and glory, or death, is never an alternative.
Just when all the shocks of David have been vented, he has forgotten the player that is still running. The passage of time is no longer important. After a long time, the melody again flows from the sound, a magical and beautiful melody. .
