Chapter 1283 - Black Belly Fun
On September 4, "Apologize" was officially released as the fourth single of "Bathing in the Morning Light".
At this moment, the entire Hugo incident has entered an advanced stage, and the attention of many media has gradually shifted from Hugo, focusing on discussing the stubborn diseases and shackles of the entire news industry, especially the negative impact of supermarket gossip tabloids such as "National Enquirer" on the traditional news industry.
But even so, under such circumstances, the release of a new single from Glory to Death still easily became the focus of everyone's attention, not only because "Maze Wall" stayed in the top 10 of Billboard for 25 weeks, continuing the powerful momentum of Glory to Death; What's more, because Hugo, as the first person in North America, his every move can affect the direction of the entire market.
But when the major media auditioned the song "Apology", they all had constipated expressions on their faces, and their faces were full of indescribable entanglement and depression.
Hugo really didn't expect Roger Fasson's bad taste, and in the midst of the news media's constant self-reflection and self-examination, Glory to Death actually released a new single called "Apology", which is really too ironic.
A cursory reading of the single's title, those who don't know think it's Hugo apologizing to the media, but when you actually listen to the song, you'll find that it's a completely different situation.
In fact, the song "Apology" tells the story of a woman who abandoned a man, and the man was pushed into the bottomless abyss, but the woman was completely unknown, and she didn't know until she realized that she had cut off the man's only rope for survival, and she hurried over to apologize, but the fact is that the man has fallen endlessly, floating and sinking in the sea of suffering, and it is too late.
The most classic lyric in the chorus of the song "Apology" is "This apology came too late, too late". At this moment, putting this lyric on top of the apology, review, and reflection of the major media, it is meaningful in comparison. Isn't this Hugo's contempt and condemnation of the media's cowardice?
Even if it wasn't Hugo's idea, it was exactly Roger's idea, but it was hard for journalists not to make such associations. When the major media saw the release of this song, they were all messy, which ...... What the hell is going on? And they have words of suffering, so they can't blame the single song of glory to death for being wrong, right?
Therefore, the song "Apology" was released at this juncture, and the taste can only be tasted and understood by everyone.
I have to say that Roger's hand is really "beautiful black".
However, from an objective professional standpoint, the song "Apology" is undoubtedly a work with a high degree of completion, and it is also one of the most outstanding songs on the entire album of "Bathing in the Morning Light". day)" after its release, EMI Records tried to release the single, but it was not officially released until now.
"Apology" not only perfectly combines rock and pop, but Hugo's use of cello in the arrangement process makes the song full of pathos, sadness, and bitterness, as if the echo of the waves constantly hitting the rocks, echoing between the cliffs for a long time.
It's another milestone in neo-metal rock. Strictly speaking, "Apology" has nothing to do with metal rock, and the song combines American rock and British rock, and then adds traditional symphony instruments to the arrangement, injecting a new life into rock and roll, a challenge that continues the audacity and energy of Glory to Death since "near fame".
What's even more rare is that "apology" is a severe test of the singer's singing skills, and the song's vocal range span is so large that people almost think that this is a song specially written for female singers, especially the melody conversion of the chorus part is definitely a big challenge. This song also became a demonstration of Hugo's strength as a singer, not a rock band, not a producer, and Hugo showed his stage control and song interpretation ability to the fullest.
The melodious and magnificent melody of the chorus part shakes out the gloomy bitterness, the sadness inadvertently seeps out in the melody, and Hugo's voice is infectious to the extreme. This can be said to be the most profound test for the lead singer and the band in the two albums of Glory to Death.
Therefore, the single "Apology" has received many praises from professionals, and even surpassed "Wonderwall" in the overall average rating of more than 20 music critics, and is considered by many music critics to be the best track in "Bathing in the Morning Light" after the title song "Beautiful Day".
However, it is a pity that EMI Records announced that the song "Apology" does not have any official promotion itinerary for the time being, and the members of the band Glory to Death will all be absent from the single promotion. This is fatal for a single song. You don't see the strong promotion effect of the Grammy stage on the "maze wall", and now the "apology" is not even radio publicity, and the future is worrying.
But many things are not simple math problems, and the formula "one plus one equals two" does not exist in life, especially in Hollywood.
After this year's Grammys, they have gradually reached the strong appeal that Nirvana had at its peak, which means that every move of the band will be the focus of discussion and will also attract the attention of a large number of fans. Especially when the afterglow of the "labyrinth wall" has not dissipated.
After the release of "Apology", the major radio stations have recommended the song, and the radio hosts are willing to promote the song without any request, not because of EMI Records' promotional strategy, but because they really like the song.
Of course, there are also some bad radio hosts, who have always emphasized that this is a very special song when recommending this song, "It's too late, when the apology comes too late, all the qiē is useless." This meaningful recommendation, on the surface, sounds like a lament for getting along and pushing and pulling in an emotional relationship, but the real connotation can only be savored by the listener himself.
It is unknown how the reporters will feel when they hear this song, because no one will take the initiative to talk about it, and even if they are asked, they will pretend to be stupid and not understand, and no one will take the initiative to accept this hot potato; But one thing is for sure, Hugo's friends, the young volcano who died in glory, will be very happy to see this song come to fruition.
Jay Leno of "The Tonight Show" was naughty again, and he publicly joked on his show, "Many times, people have such a misunderstanding, I apologize, you have to accept it, I have already said I'm sorry, what do you want." But in fact, an 'apology' can't heal the scars in my heart, nor can it bring the relationship back to what it used to be. Instead of saying 'I'm sorry' there, let's say something. What's even more ridiculous is that those who say sorry are often unwilling to repent. ”
Jay's arrow is undoubtedly pointed at the news media that have been "self-examining" recently, and what is even more ridiculous is that after these news media apologized, they turned their guns around and pointed their guns at the "National Inquirer" and Anthony, trying to shift the focus and shirk responsibility. This also reflects Jay's words.
"So I always say, it's too late, your apology is too late, I don't need it." Jay's conclusion made the audience laugh.
As for the news media, they can't laugh, they can only smash their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs, no one dares to respond, everyone knows that giving a response at this critical moment is completely provoking fire. The media are doing everything they can to turn their guns on the National Enquirer and Anthony, how can they ask for their own hardships again.
The wolf bèi of the uncrowned king, this is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime sight.
This is even more true for the young volcanoes, all of whom are indignant, and the media reporters actually say "I was wrong" without pain, which exposes the matter?
What if Hugo was really stressed out and depressed? What if Hugo really had a split personality? What if Hugo was really in psychiatric treatment? What if Hugo really lost control because of the stimulation of the media? What if the excessive media attention delayed Hugo's treatment? What if Hugo was really lost to history like this?
When the media is chasing interests, they have never considered the position of the parties, to put it mildly, this is a joke with a human life!
Now seeing the media condemn the "National Inquirer" as if nothing happened, but shirk their own responsibilities, this is really difficult for the young volcano to calm down.
But what about anger? Young volcanoes have no way to fight against the media, not only because there are too many media, but they can't smash every single one; All the more because the media is part of society, which is the pathology of society as a whole, which they cannot contend with.
The appearance of "apology" can definitely be said to be a godsend, and the sentence "this apology came too late" completely poked at the sore spot of the uncrowned kings. Young volcanoes don't need to do anything at all, they just need to buy this single, and they only need to let this single spread all over the radio and TV channels, which is the biggest success.
A song of "apology" is the greatest irony, ruthlessly revealing the scars that the media are trying to hide, but leaving them with nothing to say and unable to refute, so they can only endure it in silence. This fidgeting but unrelieved pain is the perfect gift from the young volcanoes to the uncrowned king.
In this way, in the absence of any publicity itinerary for Glory to Death, the spontaneous recommendation of the radio host, the objective recommendation of professional music critics, and the purposeful rush purchase of the young volcano pushed the song "Apology" to a new peak in one fell swoop, making people once again clearly feel the powerful appeal of Glory to Death.
The young volcanoes, collectively out of the ranks, hit the firepower, and after August 5th, once again showed their strength!
