Three Hundred and Twenty Pressure Strikes
Ronan could feel Alena's gaze, focused and deep, his obsidian-like eyes glowed faintly, which made Ronan's voice slowly slow down. Although the topic was slightly bitter, deep in his eyes But there is a little warmth, because they have found their direction. Even though this road is full of suffering and setbacks, the journey ahead is still full of happiness and joy.ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм
"Ollie and I, including Maxim and Cliff, we are all looking for answers, facing life, facing difficulties, facing demons, we are all trying to find a right path to continue, and the only thing we can find Answer--"
Ronan continued to speak, but before the second half of the sentence was spoken, Alena automatically answered, "It's music."
Ronan nodded lightly, the smile in his eyes pulled the corners of his mouth and raised slightly, his eyes and Alena's exchanged eyes again, with a tacit understanding——
Anger in despair, pain in anger, struggle in pain, and... stubbornness and persistence in struggle, refusing to give up hope.
The intricate emotions are all intertwined, bitter but sweet, and words cannot be accurately described. Only by truly being in it and listening to it, everyone can find their own answer, a unique answer, in the notes.
Alena continued, "So, have you left that dark realm now?"
"We are working hard." The corner of Ronan's mouth slightly raised, and then he looked around with his eyes, and Alena immediately understood.
Although the One Day King won the Grammy nomination, everything seems to be on the right track, but life is obviously not that simple, they are still moving forward slowly but firmly, looking forward to the band's big performance on the Grammy stage Shine bright and firmly grasp this important turning point.
In fact, after the Grammy nomination list came out, one day the king was under tremendous pressure on the Internet——
Is it really reasonable that an unknown newcomer leads the nomination list strongly, and it is also a rock band that has completely declined since the turn of the millennium?
Although "Chasing the Light" and "My Demon" have attracted a large number of fans for the band on social networks twice, it is still not enough.
There is no way, the fan base of One Day King can be said to be non-existent. For the general public, this band still popped out from the cracks in the rocks; in an instant, it stood under the spotlight because of the Grammy relationship, and it was natural to bear it. With countless questioning and provocative eyes.
Ten years ago, when Norah Jones was born, she also faced many doubts. After winning the four Grammy awards, she fell into a vortex of pressure. Every subsequent album was questioned, although Nora still stuck to being herself, but her albums never quite replicated the pinnacle of her debut.
Ten years later, the Internet is more developed and social networks are on the rise. Those negative voices that Nora "invisible" back then are now all presented through the Internet. All kinds of conspiracy theories invaded amidst the curses. First release www.(x81zw) m./x81zw/
Maxim and Cliff, who are active on the Internet all day long, can clearly feel the pressure, so that Maxim, the "Internet addicted teenager", is forced to reduce the time spent online, out of sight and out of sight, and try his best to Keep a positive attitude and go all out to prepare for the Grammy stage.
For one-day kings, Grammy is an opportunity, a crucial opportunity, but opportunity also means risk, if the stage performance is not good enough,
Then it may become a turning point that swallows the band. Given the current ability of the band, they don't have enough strength to bear such consequences.
Hope seems to be within reach, but the darkness before dawn is always the thickest and heaviest.
When they stood under the spotlight, the surrounding darkness became more and more turbulent, and the accompanying troubles became more and more complicated, older and heavier. After real life is closely related to money, fame, survival, etc., music The purity is also mixed with too many confounding factors.
Only for a brief moment while standing on the stage and singing loudly, they can return to the world of music, immerse themselves in the surround of notes, and find happiness.
The Grammy stage was given too much meaning, and the song "My Demon" carried too much weight.
Alena was able to capture too many complexities in Ronan's short words, because she herself was the same, experiencing the same dilemma and feeling the same struggle, even though she has become famous now and is really in the field of classical music Have a place, but still no exception.
Now Alena is slowly realizing what it means to have more means to lose more.
Alena looked at Ronan again, "So you chose 'Falling Apart' for another song?"
Ronan just smiled.
Alena couldn't help chuckling, "Aren't you worried that Grammy will be angry?"
The content of the lyrics of the song "Falling Apart" is a bit deviant. It puts forward a kind of ridicule and ridicule for the glamorous life under the spotlight. It is obviously out of place to perform on the Grammy stage-after all, the Grammy is an awards ceremony. A fun occasion for the whole family.
In fact, the original intention of choosing "Falling Up" was just to match the style and characteristics of "My Devil", but I didn't expect that it satirized the reality invisibly-after the king confirmed the performance of "Falling Up", the negative waves of social networks Only then did they rise slowly, forcing the band into a difficult situation bit by bit, so this selection of songs became a kind of irony, forming an intertextuality with reality, and instead became a stroke of genius.
Originally, I thought that Ronan would say "I don't care" rebelliously, but I didn't expect Ronan to nod very seriously, "Of course I'm too worried."
A look of astonishment flashed in Alena's eyes, and then a smile appeared.
"However, I believe that Grammy has the capacity of an adult and won't care about us little guys. No matter what, it's just a song." Ronan spread his hands and said very seriously, but the content of the words revealed A feeling of playing a rogue, people can't help clapping their hands and laughing.
In fact, Alena's judgment was correct——
Grammy once expressed the hope that one day the king will not perform the song "Falling Apart". The Japanese king burned to the Grammy, which hurt their reputation.
Such a situation is obviously something neither Grammy nor One Day King wants to see. It would be great if a consensus can be reached.
However, Atlantic Records rejected Grammy's request, not only refused, but also took the initiative to convince Grammy, "This is the right choice", precisely because of the pressure of online speech, so they need to prove themselves with practical actions magnanimous, and give back.
Grammys, convinced.
