1687 Soul Calling

72_72291Hugo once thought that if he hadn't been exposed to rock 'n' roll, he would never have known the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Nirvana, Elton John, or Bon Jovi...... So what will happen to his life.

Maybe he won't be an actor, let alone find a place in the world of acting; Perhaps he will not lead glory to death to where it is today, let alone reawaken the vitality of the rock 'n' roll faith; Maybe he won't even cross over, and he won't run away from home with his friends to chase the ethereal rock 'n' roll dream, he'll go through high school, college, work, get married, have children, and then live like this for the rest of his life.

There is nothing wrong with such an ordinary life, because 90% of the people in this world are like this, living in peace according to the established rules of society. But only those who have really appreciated the beauty of the top of the mountain know that life can be ordinary, calm, and plain, but it cannot be without color, because everyone has only one chance in life, and everyone has the right to choose how to go to the end, and the dream is the most colorful brush, the unknown is the most colorful oil paint, and the challenge is the most vivid color.

Therefore, the road has been bumpy, hard, bumpy all the way, and the difficulties and dangers have come to the present, but Hugo has never regretted it. Because he can proudly say that he has never wasted his time, and every moment he can deeply feel that he is alive.

"Long live rock and roll (long. live。 rock。 &roll)", this song is full of not only Hugo's emotions for rock and roll, but also Hugo's understanding of his own life path, which is the biggest motivation that has supported him to this point.

For many, the lyrics of "Long Live Rock" will be unfamiliar, incomprehensible, and even inexplicable; But for true rock lovers, especially those baby boomers born around 1967, it's not just a song, it's their life, their life.

Hugo walked to the keyboard, picked up his guitar, and played the song passionately, the cheerful melody continued to circle in the rehearsal room, and the laughter even the glorious to death companions couldn't help but quiet down, looked back at Hugo, and listened carefully to Hugo's soft humming. Although the first time Hugo felt a little slick, the lyrics were a little rough, and many words needed to be reconsidered, there is no doubt that the song easily evoked their resonance.

The five members of Glory to Death are all about the same age, the eldest Alfonso and the youngest Pedro are only four years apart, they have grown up in the same era background, and similar musical preferences have brought them together to achieve the Glory to Death today. So, Hugo's lyrics didn't take any mental effort to understand for them, because that's their life.

"We're still arguing about who is better, Elton John or Billy Joel; We're still wondering if the songs she sings in the Cavern were written by Cotter. ”

Hearing Hugo's lilting lyrics, the four band members looked at each other, and Neil and Fojin said at the same time, "Elton John"; Alfonso and Pedro said in unison, "Billy Joel". As soon as the words ended, the four of them burst out laughing, and then Alfonso and Pedro stood together, as if they wanted to divide their camps, and even took Neil to look at him, and walked to Fokin's side, and then looked at him with a hostile expression.

Standing on the side, Samora couldn't help but clap his hands and laugh, long before he became Hugo's assistant, Samora clearly knew what a good band Glory to Death was, but even so, after becoming a part of Hugo's life, Samora was still surprised, he knew for the first time that there were so many ups and downs and convictions behind the band; At the same time, he also knew for the first time what it took to be a truly great band. But Samora has always maintained unwavering faith in Hugo, not only because of Hugo's wisdom, but also because of Hugo's unquenchable enthusiasm.

In fact, Samora is nine years younger than Hugo, strictly speaking, he did not experience that era, he was born at a time when rock and roll were in its final stages and disco was on the rise. But Samora's passion for rock 'n' roll was different, and it almost turned the trajectory of his life upside down – otherwise he wouldn't have been Hugo's assistant. So, at this time, he can easily understand the lyrics of the song, including every detail in it, which makes Samora's whole body excited, and he just wants to hit the beat with the music and simply enjoy the joy brought by the melody.

Even though Samora has witnessed this scene countless times, she can't help but feel the excitement in her heart every time, and perhaps this is an important reason why the music of Glory to Death is so moving. But today, someone ruined this beautiful moment, the screeching ringtone of the mobile phone came from the pocket, and the assistant habit that she had developed over the years made Samora take out her mobile phone as soon as possible, connect the phone, turn around and leave the scene, and avoid disturbing what was happening at the scene.

"Hello, this is Lancaster's cell phone." Samora has long since faded from her youth, and is skillfully handling Hugo's private business.

Cameron heard Samora's voice and immediately guessed that Hugo must be busy at this time, which made her hesitate, "Hey, Samora, it's me, Cameron...... Isn't it convenient now? ”

Cameron has read the front page headlines of today's major newspapers, and strictly speaking, it is not easy to ignore it, not only because more than 300 newspapers in the United States have published the grand occasion of yesterday's ultimate showdown, but also for all the praise for glory to death and winning the first place in history; At the same time, because the entire crew was talking about it, everyone who saw her would smile brightly and say congratulations loudly, or say "Glory to Death This album is really great".

Everyone knows that Hugo once again wrote his own myth, and as Hugo's girlfriend, Cameron has also become the object of everyone's congratulations. But Cameron didn't know if he should call Hugo, although she said that after the premiere of the Rose Bowl, she reconciled with Hugo on the phone, but the relationship between the two was still a little jerky, and more importantly, Cameron barely knew anything about the production process of the album "Storm".

So, even after dialing the phone, Cameron still didn't have a clue about what to say. "Oh, Cameron, Hugo isn't working right now, but ......" Samora's voice came from the earpiece, and the background noise could be faintly heard, Samora paused, "Cameron, you better listen to it yourself." ”

Before Cameron could speak, Samora pointed the receiver of her phone at the stereo in the rehearsal room, and Hugo's excited voice came clearly.

"The record store is not what it used to be, and it seems that no one cares, but I, you, and our friends, are always living in prayer." Cameron understood Hugo's lyrics immediately, which is an important reason why she fell madly in love with Hugo in the first place: she also has rock and roll blood in her soul.

This made Cameron couldn't help but be quiet, listening carefully to Hugo's singing, even through the phone, she could clearly feel Hugo's excitement and excitement at this time, and the mellow voice outlined a little starlight, making a qiē become dreamy and beautiful.

"Sing, rock 'n' roll is not dead, long live rock 'n' roll! The guitar lives on forever, and the soul shudders! ......" However, listening to the lyrics, listening to the melody, listening to the singing, Cameron's tears couldn't help but slide down, obviously the song was so joyful, so bright and so bright, full of surging happiness and joy, but the tears still blurred his vision.

It is precisely because Hugo is so happy, unprecedentedly happy, that Cameron's love begins to fall apart little by little. This is the Hugo she knows, this is the Hugo she loves, this is the Hugo she sinks, and Hugo has never changed.

For the first time, Cameron began to look back on the past year, and she realized that she had gradually become a part of Hugo's life, but instead she began to give up on understanding Hugo's life. If it had been before, she would have known Hugo's every move well, and she would have known all the details of "bathing in the morning light". So, when did she start to be negligent?

So, is it precisely because of her and Hugo's disagreement about the world tour that she and Hugo can trace back to their roots? So how did this qiē happen?

This realization made Cameron can't help but be frightened, even a little overwhelmed, she knows that the album "Storm" means a lot to Hugo, but she realizes that she knows nothing about this album. This made Cameron not know how to face Hugo, and tears burst without warning.

Cameron could clearly hear the call of Hugo's soul: this was where all his passion lies. The stage is where Hugo can survive, and music is the origin of Hugo's dream, if he gives up the stage, the tour, and this qiē for the so-called "survival", then what is the meaning of "survival", because Hugo is no longer Hugo. Glory to death, glory, or death, remember?

"Hey, Cameron......" The music ended, and Hugo's voice came through the earpiece, panting slightly and filled with the breath of sunshine.

Cameron struggled to come back, "Hey, Hugo. But before the words fell, she covered her mouth, tears broke completely, and Hugo, who she knew best, returned, reminding her of the coffee house where she and Hugo first met on that afternoon in Philadelphia. Hugo is still the same Hugo, and there is still no change, so ...... Has she changed?
