1677 Soul Baptism

72_72291 Close your eyes, hold your breath, turn off your other senses, let the darkness slowly envelop you, block out all the cacophony, leave only your ears, and listen carefully.

In the dark night, the iceberg moved forward silently, almost without any sound, even the sound of breaking waves dissipated in the biting cold wind, silent like a desert, but the air was gently shaking, the cold and gloomy breath gradually rushed forward, and when it reacted, the overwhelming coldness had swallowed itself, and there was no chance to resist at all, and then it fell into a piece of ice and snow, blizzard and wind, and lost itself.

That's the only thing David feels about "sail", without any fancy melodies, without any cumbersome arrangements, without any embellishment of lyrics, without any showmanship...... It was just the simplest drum beat, just the simplest words, but in Hugo's mellow and gentle voice, there was an endless burst of energy, which made him lose the strength to fight back and completely lost in this music.

The biting cold slowly enveloped itself, like a snowflake falling on the skin, light and gentle, and then penetrated into the skin little by little, all the pores on the body opened, and in an instant, the cold breath poured into the body, entangled with blood. Together, they wrapped around every bone, and finally every bone and muscle in the body froze into ice.

When I opened my eyes suddenly, I found that the hot tears in my eyes made the whole world blurry and dazed.

Trembling, trembling, trembling again. David breathed heavily, but the whole person still sat in place, feeling the shock and tremor of his soul being baptized, the energy that erupted from the depths of his soul was like an ice and blood storm, sweeping in, but releasing a heat comparable to a volcano. The collision of extreme cold and extreme heat made David's brain blank and ethereal.

David did not snap up tickets for the "Stormy" Rose Bowl concert, he was ready to go to San Francisco to feel the charm of glory to death, but he listened to his peers countless times mentioned the repertoire sung by glory to death in encore, simplifying the complex, ingenious and workless, Hugo used the simplest, most concise and most direct way to convey the essence of music in the purest, most real and most shocking way.

When David heard these rumors, he scoffed, although he admired Hugo, but in his opinion, these praises from his peers were still too exaggerated. Of course, deep down, David still has some expectations, because even if he doesn't agree with those views, it still means that the three episodes of Glory to Death are worth looking forward to.

But now...... Far beyond expectations! David even thinks that even the most perfect praise is not enough to express his heart's love for glory to death, nor his admiration for such a musical genius as Hugo.

It has been said that Hugo played a role in "beautiful. day)" This song shows the atmosphere and magnificence, and the accomplishments of the arrangement and lyrics perfectly combine classical rock and modern rock, almost creating an insurmountable peak; Some people say that Hugo's delicate and fragile performance in the song "Wonderwall" brings out the most authentic emotions in his heart with his flowing melodies and poetic lyrics, almost writing a mark on history.

It is precisely because the album "Bathing in the Morning Light" has brought too many surprises that people are more and more looking forward to the three albums of glory to death, and they are more and more worried that the three albums of glory to death will collapse and fall into the bottomless abyss. But now, David knew that Glory to Death did not live up to any expectations, on the contrary, in the midst of the high expectations, Glory to Death once again brought surprises and shocked his soul once again.

In terms of arrangement, the song "Sailing" is definitely not comparable to "A Beautiful Day", and it cannot even be regarded as a first-class level of glory to death; In terms of lyrics, the song "Sailing" cannot be compared with "The Lost Wall", and the songs that are better than it can be counted on one hand. But the fact is that "sailing" returns to the basics, and under Hugo's interpretation, it brings the most unimaginable feelings in the most essential way, as if it were ...... It's like a master whose martial arts have reached the realm of perfection, he doesn't need to sharpen the sword like iron and clay at all, just flying flowers and picking leaves, and he can also see blood to seal his throat.

For David, "a good day" is only suitable for appreciation, too cold; The "labyrinth" is only suitable for listening, and it is too weak. But "sailing" is the favorite, this is the crystallization of the glorious to death rock spirit, the rock band's unyielding, tenacious, tough, free and easy, tenacious and complete display, just like the sun blooming with thousands of rays, releasing endless heat, even if it is a moth to the fire, but also want to bathe in the sun, and then desperately run towards the sun.

Even David himself did not expect that after dedicating two works of such high quality and high level as "almost famous" and "bathed in the morning light" - almost equivalent to four or even six excellent albums of others - there would be such an explosion of energy, and the title song would already be an absolute classic beyond "Good Day" and "Labyrinth" - at least David thinks so. It wasn't until the hot tears on his cheeks turned cold that he remembered and wiped away the traces of the tears.

In fact, the "voyage" is only the beginning, and the shock has not yet had time to dissipate, and the next wonderful songs are like a storm, making people have no respite space, and they are swept in layer upon layer. Perhaps, this is another explanation for the album's title.

David couldn't help but compare his eyes again, turning on his auditory sensitivity to the maximum, savoring each song carefully, feeling the soul hidden in those melodies with his heart, all the cells in his body were dancing happily, using all his strength to express his joy and cheerfulness. After the whole disc was played, David still couldn't help but savor it, as if the music was dancing wildly on the tip of his tongue, and his taste buds were like the sunshine of early spring.

Side A has been played, but what about side B? What the hell is going on on the B-side? That's the most curious part of the whole album of "Tempest", perhaps...... Or the biggest surprise.

That's just the way it was, when David heard the outdoor studio version of the "sailing" melody sound, his brain was invaded by a powerful shockwave and crashed in an instant. Hugo is really too bold, too wanton, too crazy! Glory to death is crazy, and EMI Records is crazy too! But...... This qiē madness is really too beautiful.

Listen, listen carefully, the sound of the wind, the human voice, the sound of the engine behind the drumbeat, this is completely the purest natural sound and social sound, which can be called, the sound of life. The trivial and chaotic sounds, however, are perfectly integrated with the melody, and may not be called perfect, because they are not perfect at all, but on the contrary there are many flaws, but it is precisely this flaw that makes the back of the music sketched in the mind in an incomparably vivid way.

Closing his eyes again, David seemed to be able to see the noisy streets, the noisy crowds, the busy life, and the glorious members of the team standing in the crowd, with pleasant smiles on their faces, enthusiastically and attentively playing their instruments; Suddenly, the scenery changed, and David seemed to see the canyon, the Grand Canyon, the raging wind whistling in his ears, and Hugo was running wildly among the trees, his mouth was constantly roaring, "Sailing!" Voyage! "The sound of the wind became a boost for him, making him run faster and harder, and then ...... Then, with a leap, Hugo's whole body soared into the air and flew high against the wind.

In an instant, all the adrenaline rushed towards the heart, David himself didn't realize it, he stood up suddenly, his hands clenched into fists, his whole body trembled slightly because he was too excited, but the passion flowing in his blood could not find an outlet, he could only breathe heavily, his chest rose and fell violently, even if his eyes were closed, the tears oozing from the corners of his eyes because of excessive excitement were still glistening.

If the A-side is the most rock-oriented album, then the B-side is the most glorious album.

David wanted to worship like never before, and even if he had exhausted all his life's thoughts, he could not have imagined that Glory to Death would create their three books in such a way. Hardly any explanation was needed for him to know clearly: this is glory unto death! Glory to Death is such a band! That kind of shock, that kind of touch, that kind of purity, will show the beauty of music and the spirit of rock and roll heartily, and penetrate into the soul of every listener.

Bow and worship, David can't hold any thoughts in his heart at the moment, except for such thoughts.

David stood stupidly in place, raised his chin slightly, looked up at the "darkness" above his head, listened to the indescribable melody in the stereo, and waited for the whole album to finish, and his muscles did not relax, just stood stunned like this, after a long time, the muscles of his body suddenly relaxed, and then the whole person fell on the sofa, exhaled a long breath, but could not extinguish the surging flame in his heart.

At this moment, David finally understood the intention of EMI Records, the reason why this "Storm" was successful, or the reason why EMI Records was full of confidence, not only because this was the much-anticipated glory to death, but also because this was the most essential and pure glory to death. It was a big gamble, and in the midst of the overwhelming propaganda war between Maria and the Oasis, EMI Records was unmoved, because they knew that Maria and the Oasis Band's bet was not worth mentioning in the face of glory to death. "Storm", either to achieve unparalleled brilliance, or to fall into the bottomless abyss fiasco, there is no median. The innovation and challenge of the B-side, this is an unprecedented big gamble.

Therefore, even without any publicity strategy, "Storm" is already invincible, and what can really beat this album is not the propaganda war, but the passion that belongs to music and rock in everyone's heart. This is also the most glorious way to die, glory, or death, there is never any other choice.

Just when David had already vented all the shock, he forgot about the player that was still running, the passage of time was no longer important, and after a long time, the melody flowed out of the stereo again, a magical and beautiful melody
