1324 1324 Adjusting the pace
Is it difficult to make the third album? It is not difficult for Hugo, Neil, and Fokin. At this moment, the creations of the three of them have accumulated more than 70 songs, and at least one-third of them are considered good works. It is not a problem to form an album; but it is very difficult for glory to die.
Glory to death is not just a band, but also a rock band that implements the thoughts and soul of music. The blood of this band is condensed by the five members' understanding and dreams of music. If you just make an album casually, it means that the soul of Glory to death is dead. Even if the third album is successful in sales, the rock band will eventually be buried in the long river of time and become a meteor sliding across the sky.
In any field, geniuses are always emerging one after another, and there are countless dazzling meteors. Not to mention rock bands, even idol singers have been very popular, such as the brilliant Macaulay Calkin, the once glorious Justin Bieber, the jtin eber who once looked down on him in 2010, Edward Furlong, who quickly disappeared after making a big splash in "Terminator 2", the super boy who appeared like a comet and disappeared like a comet, not to mention the "Fang Zhongyong" who frequently slid across the sky in rock history, Shen Yun Band, Razor Light Band, Oasis Band, etc.
Including the Smith Band and Nirvana Band, which are famous in history, they can also be classified as the meteor. The music careers of these two bands are somewhat similar. They have only released four regular studio albums in total. Both of them have pushed their music careers to the peak, leaving an indelible mark on the entire music scene.
But after experiencing such glory, development entered a bottleneck. The third album of Smith also won some praise, but unfortunately it was much inferior to before and was announced to be disbanded soon after; and the trajectory of Nirvana is well known to everyone. The glory of "Don't mind" almost destroyed Cott Coburn. Not long after the release of the fourth album, he chose to end his life.
Now, glory is facing such a bottleneck until death, not just Hugo.
The great success of "Bathing in the morning light" has allowed the band members to stand in different positions. The hot spotlights, the media's pursuit, the cheers of fans, the busy work, the luxury of life... All of this has brought about earth-shaking changes in their lives. As Hugo said, "almost famous" and "Bathing in the morning light" actually reflect the band's true mood at different times, different environments, and different situations. This is also the footprints of the band's growth.
Now, after the mentality of the band members has changed drastically, the bottleneck of the third album is completely inevitable.
Although Neil and Fokin have been focusing on music creation, Hugo can clearly feel that their music is a little impetuous, because their life is so impetuous under the spotlight; Pedro lingers at major parties and sings every night. The young man who was worried that his skills would drag the band down and constantly polish his guitar skills was gradually lost in the neon lights at night; Alfonso even left Los Angeles, a world-famous world, and always wandered outside, and had fewer and fewer contacts with the band. He and Hugo had not been on the phone for more than three months, let alone met...
Hugo is naturally no exception.
Hugo's words calmed everyone in the room. Pedro twisted on the sofa with some anxiety. After adjusting the position several times, he felt something was wrong, and he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. No matter what, today's chaos was ultimately triggered by Pedro. Originally, Pedro felt that his lateness was nothing, but now he was raised to such a height by Hugo, which made Pedro feel very uncomfortable.
"Hey, man, it's not that serious..." Ped** smiled, but found that he was panicked in his heart and couldn't laugh at all. He had a curve outlined on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes, only irritability and panic, "I think...this is all good, isn't it? We are really all good, right?"
Pedro's words were inevitably a little guilty. In fact, deep down in his heart, he knew that Hugo was not joking.
As Pedro said, glory to death is now at the most wonderful stage. "Wonderwall" made history not long ago, while "apology" suppressed Maria Carey to kill everyone, and "Bathing in the morning light" has been in the top 20 and even the top 10 in the Billboard album rankings for a long time. The band's momentum in North America has surpassed the original Nirvana band, becoming the pioneer of the new metal rock trend, and is changing the entire history of music development.
Hugo's words were really alarmist.
Looking at Pedro's anxiety, Neil raised his head and shook his head helplessly, "Pepe, when was the last time you picked up a bass?"
This sentence made Pedro even more irritable. He scratched his head in annoyance and said uncertainly, "Last week, uh...it should be..." Seeing Fujin's sneering expression, Pedro's voice suddenly became louder, "It was really last week, at a party, a...uh, a little girl wanted to watch me play bass..." At the end, Pedro automatically silenced, and finally didn't continue talking.
Pedro's voice slowly disappeared, and he couldn't help but hang down his shoulders in annoyance, and all his irritability and panic settled down because he knew: Hugo was telling the truth.
"So, what do you think you should do?" Fu Jin opened his mouth and broke the silence in the room, and his expression became uncontrollable.
In fact, Fujin and Neil vaguely felt this way. They were not satisfied with their creations recently, and there were more disputes. During their communication with Hugo, Hugo's uncertainty about them began to increase. However, the window paper was not broken, so they couldn't tell why.
Hugo collapsed on the back of the sofa and rubbed his temples with a vague pain. "I don't know. If I know what to do, this is not a bottleneck, and I will just do it."
The bottleneck of music creation is actually the same as acting skills. What is needed is the change in Hugo's mood and the touch of inspiration. This requires timing and luck, just like a "death prisoner walk". However, Hugo really has no way to start with music creation.
Hugo's words were really disgusting, and Neil slowly leaned on the back of the chair and became silent; Fujin leaned forward to support his chin, looking ahead with his eyes blankly. After a brief sound in the room, he fell silent again.
Hugo looked at his teammates and couldn't help but smile bitterly. In fact, Hugo has always believed that the bottleneck is a very personal problem, which can also be regarded as a psychological problem. This is also the reason why he has never told his teammates. He doesn't want the morale of the entire band to be depressed. It's just after today's incident that Hugo knew that not only him, but the entire band is currently in a bottleneck.
After letting out a long breath, Hugo sat up again and said with a chuckling, "Everyone cheer up, it's nothing. We have enough time to prepare for the third album, at least we don't have to worry about EDA Records in the next year. So, we can prepare slowly."
"What if we still haven't found a breakthrough a year later?" Pedro asked uneasily.
Hugo's smile became bigger, "that proves that we are really just a meteor." This made Pedro speak directly and glance at Hugo with resentment, which made Hugo laugh directly, "If we still have that passion and desire for music in our hearts, if we still believe in 'glory to death', then we will not become mediocre, and we will make a breakthrough sooner or later."
This is what Hugo believes most firmly, "So, what we need to do is to adjust our pace, let ourselves be free from the current blooming flowers, find our initial dreams and persistence, and find the sharpness and courage that glory to death."
However, this time, everyone was not excited by Hugo's words. Everyone fell into their own thoughts. Since the establishment of Glory to Death, they have been running wildly for two and a half years and sprinted to their current position. They do need some time to buffer. This is a marathon, not a 100-meter battle. As for whether they can reach the end of the marathon and what will be the results, all of this is what Glory is writing about.
Looking at his teammates who had thoughtful thoughts, Hugo took a deep breath, made himself excited, and then patted his hands hard, "Don't do this, we are not facing collapse or failure, and we can still have a happier expression. How about it? What are we eating for lunch? I'm already hungry. Are Pepe and Neil not hungry? You just experienced intense physical exercise, aren't you?"
Hugo's words made Neil, Pedro and Foggin roll his eyes at the same time, which made Hugo look depressed and spread his hands helplessly, "I'm just saying the facts. If you don't like it, then I can't do it..." Hugo was silent for a moment, seeing that the three teammates still had no plans to answer the conversation. Even Pedro, who is usually the most lively, looked frustrated. Hugo could only sigh, "Those who are willing to have lunch together, I think we can talk about the band. For example, during a charity event just now, I created a song, and the composition is still a bit flawed, but this song is still very consistent with the style of glory to death, but I think it's a little less sharp. But in fact, it's a bit similar to the style of "Miss Wall". Maybe the audience will like it?"
Hugo's words immediately made the three of them feel energetic, and Fujin couldn't wait to ask, "Do you have a name?"
Hugo curled his lips and said nothing. He stood up and walked towards the door, then opened the door, and turned around and said, "I am now temporarily 'Waiting.on.the.world.to.change'." After that, he left straight.
Fujin jumped up and rushed towards Hugo's departure, and then Pedro, Neil was not willing to be outdone.
