Chapter 2141 2141 Sports spirit
Paul cast his eyes at Hugo, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "When I looked through the resume of Honor to Death, my first reaction was that Hugo Lancaster was not Malone Brando?" This comparison made everyone stunned. "But then I realized that Hugo Lancaster should be Frank Sinatra."
Frank Sinatra and Barbara Streisand are hailed as the greatest artists of the 20th century. It is not that their achievements surpass other artists. Of course, this is also a very important part. Their achievements are second to none even in the long history. But more importantly, these two artists spanned two sessions of music and film, and both of them won Oscars and Grammys. The social influence of both of them reached an unattainable height.
Paul first said that he admired Frank, and then said that Hugo was Frank's superficial meaning because Hugo, like Frank, was an artist who achieved outstanding achievements in both music and film, but the deep meaning in his words invisibly sought after Hugo. More importantly, this preparation was completed without any emotion, even the parties involved could not react and just felt fluttering.
It took Hugo a long time to react. When he realized the twists and turns in these words, the topic had already advanced several big steps. Paul's skill reminded Hugo of Robert Eiger.
"What really made me interested in glory to death is a song called... uh, 'sail'." Paul also wanted his colleagues around him to verify it, and then awakened the memories. "Every time I hear this song, I can feel the excitement and excitement of my blood, which reminds me of rugby. A large part of the reason why sports can be loved by so many people is because of the spirit of never giving up and the fanaticism that is desperate, right?"
Paul's speech was not fast. He was the only one who spoke at this time, but it would not make people feel dissonant, because everyone was part of the conversation and would never feel lonely.
"Later I heard that when the band appeared on Maracana, they sang a song called "I.lived in vain" and many people said that this song is a sublimation of 'Sailing'. Unfortunately, I have never been able to hear this song, which is quite regretful." Paul's eyes remained on Hugo, as if he was looking forward to Hugo's response.
Hugo nodded and explained with a smile, "Yes, that's true. The song was created from a dream. We originally thought that the new album would be released soon and planned to include it, but now it seems that our progress is far behind."
"It's such a pity." The flashing light in Paul's eyes clearly interpreted this sentence, "But this also gave me a very bold idea, not only to invite glory to the Super Bowl midfield show stage, but also to invite you to write the theme song for NFL next season."
This is not a simple invitation. As the most influential sports league in the United States, the number of viewers in NFL competitions per week is extraordinary, and it can exceed 40 million people almost every week. This means that the theme song will be cycled countless times throughout the season, and the number of listeners will reach a level that cannot be counted at all.
"Are you kidding me?" Hugo raised his eyebrows and showed an incredible expression. Before that, the rock band had not even made a stage for the midfield show. Now he actually asked the rock band to create theme songs for NFL. This sounds like a fantasy. "You are sure to use a rock song to serve as the theme song for the entire season next year."
Paul was very satisfied with Hugo's reaction and nodded with a smile, "This is a good idea, isn't it? In the band Glory to Death, we can feel the persistence and fanaticism that is almost the same as the athletic spirit. The surging and exciting positive influence is really perfect for football. Imagine that you can hear the exciting rock melody before every game, and the next game will always make people look forward to it."
Hugo knew that Paul probably listened to the album "Storm", "Young Volcanoes", "Sailing", "It's.my.life" and other works are all positive, and the raging emotions are indeed very consistent with the style of sports.
But Hugo still felt a little awkward and created the theme song for NFL? Just wandering around in his mind, he felt that it was incredible. Hugo turned to look at his teammates, but found that everyone looked at him. Obviously, this is a brand new experience for anyone who is glorious until death, and they don’t know how to deal with it.
Henry said at this time, "Are you sure this is a good idea? The first step towards rock is to be done in one step?" He successfully asked Paul to divert his attention from Hugo. "Besides, you may not be satisfied with the songs created by the band. They always adhere to the style of the band and have never made any changes. In addition to 'sailing', there are other different types of music. Just like rock you don't like, they can be very excited or dark."
Henry's words contained a lot of content information, the most important meaning was: If you are sure to let Glory be created until death, it is best not to be picky, because Glory is not something that can be manipulated by pop singers at will.
Paul narrowed his eyes slightly and looked Henry up and down, but Henry was unmoved and still lazily met Paul's gaze. Paul just paused slightly. If he didn't look carefully, he wouldn't notice it at all. The smile on his lips immediately outlined, "It's like I'm extremely looking forward to 'not being in vain' this life', and I will also look forward to the sparks after the collision between glory and football until death."
Henry leaned forward slightly and said with a smile, "Are you sure you will like 'not in vain'?"
"Yes, I'm looking forward to it." Paul replied without any pause.
The song "Not In vain" started a craze in Maracana, causing countless discussions, and has been sought after in the past three years, but fans who truly appreciate the style of this song are always only a small part. But there is no doubt that "Not In vain" is a rock song, pure rock. Henry's question means rock. Is it okay for you to roll? The answer to Bao** gave a positive response.
Henry looked at Paul's eyes seriously, as if he was exploring the sincerity of this answer, and Paul also met Henry's gaze without any retreat. A brief silence appeared between the two people, which made other bystanders hold their breath, fearing that a trace of movement would destroy the tension at the scene.
Suddenly, Henry pursed his lips slightly, and showed an almost invisible smile. He turned to look at Hugo, "So, Hugo, are you interested? Create a rugby-related track?"
Hugo couldn't help but choked by this question. When Queens first created the song "We Are Champions", it actually has no half cent relationship with sports. It was just the song they used to inspire themselves, praise themselves, and praise themselves. It was also the song that lead singer Freddy Morcory alluded to his identity. But after this song was released, it became the theme song of various sports events because of its uplifting and shocking style, and even became the song for awards to countless finals of the competition to commend the winners.
Hugo is not an athlete, he is a dreamer, and there is no problem asking him to write a rock song, but it is too difficult to create a song based on sports, because he has not really experienced the ups and downs of sports, nor has he felt the desire for victory. That kind of interpretation of sports spirit is too strange to Hugo.
However, after thinking about it carefully, Hugo thought it was a very interesting thing. "No, I can't do it." His answer was beyond everyone's expectations. Even Paul and Henry were quite surprised. The smile on the corner of Hugo's lips was outlined. "I can't create a song about rugby, nor can I create a song about sports, but maybe I can try to create a song about dreams, victory, and existence."
It's like "we are champions".
Henry immediately understood what Hugo meant, turned to look at Paul, and waited for Paul's answer with a smile. Paul seemed to be in deep thought. After a while, he nodded slightly, "This is what I hope you do. Sailing" is wonderful because it praises humans for not fearing difficulties, sprinting to the limits, and challenging the impossible. This spirit can inspire everyone, and of course also includes athletes, so it has become a true classic.
If a song is written specifically for sports, there will inevitably be limitations in terms of spirit and thought, which will limit the creators' performance. This is also one of the important reasons why no sports song has surpassed the lofty status of "We are Champions" over the years.
"So, Super Bowl midfield show, can we expect a wonderful performance that is glorious until death?" Although they never talked about this matter head-on, everything was actually hidden in it. Paul showed a calm smile and looked at Hugo.
However, Hugo did not speak, but looked at Neil, and the other teammates who had been glorious to death also cast their sights at Neil. Neil nodded solemnly, "I think we need to start preparing for it next. No one will hope to make mistakes on such a grand stage."
Paul's smile still did not change much, and it seemed that he had expected this result. "Then I started to look forward to it. I missed Maracana, and this time I will not miss it again."
