Chapter 1686: 1686 Long Live Rock and Roll
"I will guard my faith, and I will honor failure with my head held high; I will engrave the melody in my heart, and I will never stop singing. No, no!"
How did this great and incredible dream start? Hugo remembers that it first sprouted when he went to London to promote "Independence Day" half a year ago. The turbulent sea of people at the airport is still vivid to this day. As long as you close your eyes, Hugo will You can feel the rush of heat.
In fact, after the release of "Independence Day", the frenzy that Hugo faced became more and more, and the situation beyond Heathrow Airport could not be counted on one hand. The pomp is unparalleled. But Hugo still has a deep impression on the madness of that day, because that day made Hugo truly feel the power of music, just like the Beatles came to the United States many years ago, but this time he arrived on behalf of the United States. U.K.
From that moment on, the seeds of rock and roll faith quietly took root in Hugo's heart. The majestic melody still reverberates in Hugo's mind, but Hugo has never been able to complete the melody. Whether it is the melody or the lyrics, only one third has been created. So far, there has been no progress. Only Fragmented fragments reverberate in my mind.
But did it really start from that day?
When you think about it, the answer changes: Absolutely not, definitely not! As early as a very young age, long before crossing, Hugo had planted a rock-and-roll seed deep in his heart, and with the watering of time, it began to sprout quietly. From then on, he began to pick up the guitar, get in touch with music, and even left his hometown with his friends. He stumbled through ten years on the aimless and future-free rock and roll road. The fire in his heart will never go out. It's a belief, an unwavering belief.
Not only him, but Hugo Lancaster as well. The memory in the back of his mind is like a spring, and the sound of the guitar reverberates on the desolate land of Lanches. The morning awake amid the exciting melody of Queen, the afternoon when Adam taught him how to play the guitar, the evening when Jack took him to the record store to eavesdrop on the Rolling Stones, the night to sleep with the melody of the Beatles... each fragment of memory is so clear , is also so wonderful.
"The year I picked up the guitar, Disco died suddenly and then U2 was still in junior high school, thank goodness they survived. Came to my first attempt, sitting on Seger forty-five (Seger. 45), since After I got that kiss, it was rocking and partying."
The melody is like the light of the sunrise, breaking through the shackles of the night and pouring down in an instant, the night that is all over the sky dissipates like a tide in an instant, and the bright golden tracts are spread out, and the quiet fingertips can't help it. Begin to jump, outline the guitar strings in the air; the heart beats the beat of the drum, and responds to the tap dance of the footsteps, creating a circle of ripples; the blood collides with the blood vessels and the bones, like the calmness of the bass Rhythm, let the whole body start dancing wildly.
"We're still debating who's better, Elton. John or Billy. Joel; we're still wondering if the song she sings in the Hole is science? Special creation. No, we will never stop believing, this is the journey of our lives, so will you help me pour some sugar (Pour. Some. Sugar) on this night of memories?"
This is not the song that Hugo had conceived at Heathrow, this is a completely new song. Originally, Hugo thought that "Rainstorm" set off a storm on the first day of its release, which would give him inspiration to finish writing the song. But unexpectedly, the musical symbols in my mind put together a brand new song, connecting the musical dreams of Chen Hugo and Hugo Lancaster, and the two souls are connected more closely than ever before. .
"Sing, rock never die, long live rock! Guitars live, souls tremble! Sing, never give up, never grow old! Carnival forever, gilded records! Long live rock!"
The passionate melody danced wildly in the blood, and the long-lost excitement and excitement burst out. The wild horses of memory began to run wild, connecting the moments about rock and roll, like shining stars, connected together in the endless night sky, using the entire universe as a curtain to outline a picture. A magnificent blueprint. In the deep memory of far, far away, rock and roll has planted a seed of faith in the soul, waiting for the watering of time, slowly sprouting, and blooming proudly.
Rock and roll never die, long live rock! The surging emotions swayed recklessly under the dark canvas, and the sky map outlined by thousands of bright stars was endless.
"I got my first guitar in the summer of 1976 and I kept playing until my fingertips said 'you're going to be a superstar' and grunge was everything, at least for me . I have a Marshall in my Chevy. Sprint that slowly flows my dreams."
Reporters, friends, and strangers have asked Hugo many times, "Why rock?" There are many types of music. Now the most mainstream ones in the market are rhythm and blues, pop and hip-hop. Making these music is easy to attract attention and achieve success. , but why rock?
Hugo always doesn't like to answer such questions, because for him, rock is not just music, not just a dream, it's more like a part of life. Whether it was in the late 1980s when Chen Hugo was born, the rock and roll wave set off by Guns and Roses and Nirvana; or in 1967, when Hugo Lancaster was born, rock and roll reached a peak that could never be replicated in this year. The brilliance of the parallel has become an eternal page in the long history of music. These memories have evolved into a part of Hugo's soul.
Music is melody, dream, entertainment, bridge, emotion...but music is also life. Just like Woodstock, in fact, only 400,000 people actually participated in Woodstock, but the hippie culture has affected a whole generation of people, and the cultural heritage formed has penetrated into every part of life, from language. , books, paintings and other tangible material culture, to the intangible ideological culture of outlook on life, values, and world outlook, Woodstock's rock and roll spirit has truly penetrated into the bone marrow of a generation.
So, no why, just because it's rock, that's all.
"We're still debating who's better, Motley. Crue or Guns and Roses; we still can't believe Van. Halen has become Van Hijab. (Van. Hagar). Now the record shop is not what it used to be, and it seems that no one cares, but me, you, and our friends, but always live in prayer (Living. On. That. Prayer).
Sing, rock is not dead, long live rock! The guitar lives on, the soul trembles! Sing, never give up, never grow old! The rave is forever, the record is gold-plated! Long live rock! "
Every note of rock permeates life and becomes an integral part of him, as well as his eyes, nose, and mouth, as well as mind, consciousness, and culture. Someone once said that if Hugo focused on acting, he might be the greatest and most successful actor in movie history, if only he put "so-called band activities" aside; but they never really understood Hugo, rock and roll It's the blood that runs through his bones, it's what he is made of.
Without the perseverance of rock, he would not focus on the study of acting skills, without the madness of rock, he would not lose himself because of being too devoted, and without the enthusiasm of rock, he would not sway freely on the big screen. Like acting, rock and roll is a dream, but it is not just a simple dream, but also his spirit, his personality, his thoughts, his soul, his acting and singing, in the final analysis, they all come from the same fanaticism.
"Sleep in Cleveland and wake up in Tennessee, no matter where I'm partying tonight, I'm chasing history."
Glory to death entrusts all Hugo's fantasies, all enthusiasm, all madness for rock and roll, walking on the road, singing on the road, living on the road... Never stop, when the footsteps of chasing dreams stop, that is, he the end of life. The scenery at the end point is never important, because the end point is "either glory or death" for him, and the scenery during the journey is the best part of life.
"We're still debating who's better, the Beatles or the Rolling Stones; they're always twenty-seven, Jimmy, Janis, Brian Jones, and now we're Standing in their memories, they're still there because of their music. So throw your lighters in the air, and then, darling, sing with me all night long.
Join me!
Sing, rock is not dead, long live rock! The guitar lives on, the soul trembles! Sing, never give up, never grow old! The rave is forever, the record is gold-plated! Long live rock! "
This is not the wild and passionate melody, this is a brand new song, but it embodies all the memories and dreams in Hugo's soul, and almost every lyrics can feel the footprint of growth.
