Server SkyVids Link 415 Version 415
"Born Helena. Jane, with a weary soul, headed west to California to be a magazine cover girl."
Hugo's hands on the keyboard are still not very skilled, but the uncomplicated chords convey a faint sadness. The coolness in the keys is matched in Hugo's voice, without any prelude or any Prepare, so suddenly broke the silence and sounded leisurely, but just two lyrics made the irritability in the bottom of my heart settle down, and people couldn't help but keep their eyes on Hugo.
Hugo's warm and mellow voice always has an imperceptible magnetism in the dark night, which makes the quietness and loneliness of the night slowly exude a charming charm. Active, just silent.
Helena-Jenny, the name Hugo came up unconsciously, without any reference. It seems to be a name that I occasionally heard on the side of the road today. It is ordinary and simple, but at this time Hugo hummed, but Giving the name a different meaning, the lyrics outline the girl's life: she went to California with a tired soul and became a cover girl.
Such lyrics have a profound meaning for everyone in the band of Glory to the Dead, because including Hugo, the five members are all like this. They are "Helena-Jenny", to be precise, "Helena-Jenny" is everyone who dreams of being a star, full of hope, hoping to realize their dreams in Hollywood.
However, listening to Hugo's soft humming, "But once you change your name, the fragments of your soul will disappear, and now she can hardly recognize herself." In the center of Hollywood, changing a name seems to be commonplace, it is just a stage name that can please the audience and can be easily spread, but in Hugo's singing, people realize: when you lose your name, in fact The one who has lost is also himself, lost himself in the colorful world of Hollywood.
When singing this lyric, Hugo closed his eyes and remembered the movie "Spirited Away", "Once your name is taken away, you can't find your way home." Xiao Bailong forgot his name, so Left behind in this magical world, he can never go back. At the end of the story, Chihiro finally helped him remember his own name-Zhi Zao Jian, Amber Lord, the little white dragon in the blue sky lost its scales, He became a human again, and the feeling of that moment trembled slightly at the tip of Hugo's heart.
Hollywood is like the mysterious town where the bathhouse in "Spirited Away" is located. The name is the proof of its existence, but after entering Hollywood, I changed my name and gradually forgot who I was, and then I became this circle. A part of this world will never be able to leave. If it loses its name, it also loses its identity and basis for survival in the original real world.
The fragments of the soul slowly dissipated in the blue sky like the scales of a little white dragon, so that one day, when he looked at himself in the mirror, he didn't recognize himself at all. This is Hollywood, a colorful black hole that silently devours everyone's soul and then never finds its way home.
Hugo's voice was trembling slightly. Although it was only two lyrics, it awakened Hugo's too many thoughts, about himself, about the band, about Joseph, about Hollywood...the future, Is it possible that one day, he will never remember his name, and he can only be trapped in the world of Hollywood, unable to find a way out.
"Precious rain and dew will never come when you need it. You've won the little game of Hollywood, trying to find passion only to find yourself tired."
Hugo's singing danced slowly like a firefly in the night. The brilliant light made people unable to move their eyes, but the light was too weak to dispel the surrounding darkness, as if it would be engulfed by the dark night at any time. .
Pedro quieted down. He held his guitar and stood quietly in place, but found that his feet seemed a little weak, so he could only lean back and find the iron sheet of the carriage to support his body. Pedro couldn't understand Hugo's state of mind, but he could understand it. He came to Los Angeles full of enthusiasm, hoping to create a world of his own, but this world is not so simple to operate, not to mention the road to realizing his dream. There are countless ups and downs, even if it is successful, there is still an endless fog waiting for you in the future.
Fu Jin sat behind the drum set, quietly watching Hugo playing the keyboard. In fact, from a technical point of view, Hugo's keyboard really didn't have much to offer. It was quite satisfactory, compared to his guitar level. The difference is too obvious; but the melody flowing under Hugo's fingertips is so moving, the emotion of every key and every note is so full and so deep.
Fu Jin thought of a new day in his mind. His former band, they were infinitely close to success, but fell in the sprint stage before they succeeded. The reason? On the surface, it seems that the band members are jealous of each other, and there is a difference in the desire for popularity, strength and attention; but after looking into it, it is actually the law of Hollywood. Lost yourself in the Hollywood spotlight for a brand new day, so what about glory to death?
Fujin looked at Hugo in front of him and fell into contemplation.
"After a long time, put on your blue jeans again, girl, go home, and remember that Hollywood is not America (Hollywood's. Not. America); put on your blue jeans again after a long time, girl, go back Home, remember Hollywood is not America."
Hugo's voice soared in the sound of the keys, and the upward flying notes teared and destroyed the emotions. Worry, confusion, fear, hesitation, hesitation, sadness, disappointment... The coolness in the melody was catalyzed by the lyrics. , is deeply and movingly performed by Hugo.
Go home, but what if you can't find your way home? Maybe you can only stand in the same place and look left and right, be at a loss, and then panic and tremble because of loneliness because of loneliness because of fear because of fear, then, even if there are more lights around, more cheers, more popularity, so what? Without a home, Vanity Fair will never find a way out.
Neil stood beside the passenger seat of the car, listening to Hugo's mellow voice in the car, his heart was trembling slightly, he was worried, afraid, and even more reflecting. Glory to Death started from San Francisco and went all the way to Philadelphia. The hardships along the way are only understood by the band members themselves, and now they have gradually begun to approach success, with the support of loyal fans, the growth of the band's strength, and the music broker. People's favor, the future seems to have become clear, but today Hugo's melody is a blow to the head, making Neil clearly realize that the real beginning is only after the album is released, and then they will face a A scarier and crueler world.
In Hollywood, dreams are valuable, but they are not worth mentioning, because in the face of commercial interests, no matter how great a dream is, it is worthless. If it is not for the Beatles, not for Michael Jackson, not for Nirvana, if it is not successful, Under the weight of commercial interests, there is no possibility of persistence. Unless you give up, unless you quit, your dream can only succumb in front of life. How many people can really insist on themselves to the end?
The dissipation of the soul, in the palm of the giant in Hollywood, is just a light pinch of fingers.
"Oh, yes..." Hugo didn't take into account the rest of the band at all. He had already devoted himself to the creation of the song at this moment. His disappointment and his worries were clearly expressed in every word. For a moment, Hugo even thought about whether it is worthwhile to stick to his dreams? In other words, should he give up his friendship with Joseph, give up the delusion of finding true friendship and love in the Hollywood Vanity Fair, and focus on his work down-to-earth. Hugo didn't know, and he didn't know either, the infinite confusion was released incisively and vividly in a humming sentence.
"People from all corners of the world gather here, you can make a million dollars, but you lose yourself, you can feel the heat of the crowd but your heart will gradually become cold, they say acting is just a pretense, but After the passage of time?"
Alfonso stood at the door of the room. He just hung up the phone with Joseph, and the communication didn't have much effect, because Joseph couldn't hear anything at this time. Just when Alfonso was overwhelmed, he was attracted by Hugo's singing. When he heard the lyrics, tears burst out in an instant. It was not that he was too fragile, but the lyrics were too direct. It was like a dagger stabbed into his heart.
"You can earn a million, but you will lose yourself." Alfonso instantly understood the contradiction between Joseph and Hugo, and he also understood Hugo's insistence. Alfonso cried because he realized that he had to be on Hugo's side, because Joseph seemed to be really moving away from him little by little, and he was no longer the best friend he knew. So what about the future?
"I know what to do, and I know you can accomplish anything you dream of!"
Hugo's confusion gradually dissipated in the singing, and he found his direction again and became firm. Yes, the big dye vat of Hollywood will make people gradually forget their names, and forget the hardships they have traveled all the way. They can't find their way in the intoxicated cheers, but all this is just an external force, and it really depends on the future direction. Own.
As long as you truly stand firm, as long as you keep your name firmly in mind like Chihiro, as long as you never forget to look back at the road you came from, as long as you don't forget where you started on this road, then the future will still be in your hands. in their own hands.
Hugo's singing gradually became firmer, spreading his wings in the sound of the piano keys, and soaring freely, "Remember that Hollywood is not the United States, Hollywood is not the United States, not the United States!"
