Comeback 452 cover setting

Albert wears a pair of golden glasses and looks like a gentleman, but he speaks at a faster pace than imagined, and he does things crisply and without muddles. After just saying hello, he cuts into the subject.

Hugo was originally waiting for him to do his hairstyle in the same order. Hearing Albert's words, he turned around, "Lu" gave a smile, Albert raised his left hand and pointed towards Hugo, even if it was Say hello. Hugo knew this was Albert's style, so he didn't pause, and said directly, "What do you want to know?"

"If you have listened to the album, you must have your own ideas about the album, maybe this is what we want you to know." Hugo knows that Albert is a photographer who likes to communicate with models. This kind of communication Naturally, it is not a simple chat, it is more of a kind of "communication" talk that "excites" Albert's shooting inspiration.

With Albert’s current status as a top photographer, all his works can be called works of art, so he is willing to shoot the cover of a glorious album. It will not be easy. He still hopes to be able to Excavate from the inside. So the first thing after arriving at the studio, Albert came to the band for a ‘talk’ talk.

Albert curled his lips and thought for a while, "Why didn't you start with the name of the album? I heard that this name was adopted under your insistence. Is there any special reason? The original album name used by the record company? What is it?"

"The Glory to the Dead band's album of the same name." Hugo said helplessly, and the result was evaluated by Albert's "lazy approach".

In fact, to be fair, the name "Glory to Death" is very appropriate as the name of the album, and it is also very suitable for the album's setting. But the problem is that this is the name of the band. It conveys the band's own connotation and persistence. Although it is appropriate to use this name as the name of the album, it lacks some sincerity.

Moreover, as Albert said, when many singers release their first albums, they choose the name of the singer. This is a very lazy work. The biggest reason is that the record company hopes to promote the name of the singer through the album and deepen it. People's influence on singers is part of the publicity plan. Only this time EMI has implemented this plan again. The advantage is that the band has a ‘color’ name. That’s all, there is not much else in it.

"The last name is actually the idea that has been precipitated by all the ideas of our band in the past few months." Hugo then explained, "You know, we have gone through a long road tour that lasted three months, and most of the time it was There is no audience performance." Albert did not speak, but just nodded slightly to show that he understood.

"From the very beginning, we only liked music and performances, and then started this journey; but when the cheers gradually increased, and when the crowds onlookers gradually increased, things seemed to lose their original taste. Persistence is still burning in the "chest", but the desire for fame, the indulging in self, the madness of **** and drugs. The craziness of the product has begun to struggle and "lost" the original dream."

Hugo seriously said that not only Albert, but also members of the band, including Henry, Ellie, makeup artist, stylist and others standing nearby, could not help but stop their movements and listened. Hugo's exposition.

"Actually, you know that everyone has a desire in their hearts. Although we say that music is supreme, it is hard to say. If no one appreciates your music, then you are not a singer or a band at all. I can say that I am only a music lover. Music, even no matter how high it is, must be traded in commercial after all, otherwise there will be no way to reflect its value. No one knows how good **** is to such an extent, then who will prove their excellence? Boya has met his childhood, and music needs a friend. This is a fact that cannot be ignored.

"So, from the beginning, the mood of sharing music will always change as the number of listeners increases. We will begin to miss the audience, praise, and cheer. That kind of recognition from other people will make us confident. It swells up and faintly feels that I am finally...someone, no longer a dispensable unknown person in this world, no longer a wandering'wandering' that no one will know even if life disappears. Han. At least, we can prove that we have ever existed. This kind of thinking will gradually expand and re-expand, the desire for popularity and attention is like poison. The product is so common that people can’t stop, after the cheers of thousands of people The loneliness is really hard to adapt."

Hugo's voice was very warm, and there was a calming power that calmed everyone in the studio. From time to time, the sound of someone moving things or rubbing their footsteps brought out the quietness.

"So, before we knew it, we forgot our starting point, our love for music, and our dreams. On the one hand, we were eager to be recognized, but on the other, our greed for popularity destroyed us. With the focus on music, we can’t produce more “glamorous” music, so that popularity and attention begin to fade away, which forms an evil “sex” cycle. We may know the problem, maybe we don’t know, but we can’t do anything. As a result. That is, we are standing on a huge stage. The colorful lights, the screams of the mountains and the tsunamis, and the temperature of the burning skin make us "lost" and lose our way. Looking around, we can see a dark crowd of people. Sea, but I can’t see every specific face clearly; the inspiration in my mind has dried up, fingers and musical instruments can no longer produce fire flowers. In the end, we also “lost” ourselves and don’t know where we are. What are you doing, what should you do..."

The story that Hugo told was partly a glorious to death experience, partly his own experience, and a larger part from the Nirvana band experience. Kurt-Coben squandered himself unscrupulously. His talent finally lost himself in the colorful flashlights.

In 2000, there was a movie called "Almost Fame (.. This movie tells the story of the golden rock age in 1973. A rock band, a group of crazy song fans, and a young underage reporter During the crazy tour, I gradually lost myself.

The band called ster in the movie went through the process from being unknown to being famous, and then eager to win more popularity, more attention, more fame, and face these sudden attentions. , The band members have lost themselves, they are addicted to **** and poison. In the enjoyment of the product, the music itself was put upside down, so that they could not find the motivation for music creation, and stood at the crossroads ‘lost’ at a crossroads, at a loss.

In fact, the experience of Zhishui has happened to almost every rock band, such as the brand-new day before Fujin, Nirvana, the Beatles...including glorifying himself to death, as well as the self after "Yihai Xiongfeng" and before For a period of time Joseph, it can even be said that everyone who enters the entertainment circle, and even every ordinary person in his life who dreams of getting promoted and wealthy, is like this. Facing the ‘temptation’ of wealth. People are often blinded by the ‘confusion’, the ‘bewilderment’ of power, and the greed of reputation. People can’t see the future or themselves, they just passively move around in place.

Fortunately, Glory to Death has not completely lost its direction. They pulled the reins and kept their steps in time, at least for now they have not "lost" themselves. But what about the future? If the band succeeds in the future, will they still remember the reason why the band was founded? Can they still remember the band’s hard work across the United States... Who can say that? ?

"So the album is called'Almost Fame'?" Albert looked at Hugo, who was in his thoughts, and said.

Hugo was stunned, and struggling out of his thoughts, "Yes, so we call the album'Almost Fame'." It's like the band is standing in a position that is about to become famous, but is still missing the'door' position. On the one hand, they relied on the road tour to create a lot of topics and attracted a lot of attention; but on the other hand, they did not really show off their works to prove themselves, and they were far from the so-called fame. Standing in this position often makes people restless and disoriented.

Almost fame is actually a state, all dreams seem to be within reach, the focus is close at hand, but the dazzling light of the dream makes my eyes dizzy, and the sentence "almost near ( says everything. Anxiety, hesitation, anxiety and expectation, excitement, happiness. Using this name as the name of the band’s first album is not only a reminder of the band not to be overwhelmed, but also reminds the band to remember the details of the journey, and it also fully expresses the agitated but foolish rashness of the whole album. It’s really shown~www.readwn.com~Albert naturally didn’t know how many thoughts were in Hugo’s head, but he linked the name of the album from the description of Hugo just now, and he had to sigh, the glory is to death. The band is really full of their own thoughts. They don't seem to be ostentatious, just like the boy next door, but if they ignore the connotation of their music, it will definitely be a loss for every listener.

Albert muttered the name of the album in a low voice, "Almost fame, almost fame..." Then he sighed long and softly, "This reminds me of River Phoenix (.)." This sentence Gently echoing in the warehouse, this silenced everyone.

Hugo unexpectedly raised his head and looked at Albert. It was because of the breaking news of River Phoenix that he remembered the movie "nearly famous", which awakened the deeper thoughts in his heart. It was proposed that the album title be "almost famous".

At this moment, the thoughts of Hugo and Albert actually resonated, and this kind of happiness and joy, understood by their confidants, surged in an instant.
