353 resounding slap in the face
Alfonso's proposal refers to the fact that when they were practicing just now, Hugo then hummed a sentence "Your love is just a lie, nothing but lies", which was originally just a joke from Hugo, expressing his helplessness and disdain for Uma's malicious hype, but he didn't expect it, but it was heard by Fokine, who thought the melody was good, so he encouraged Hugo to finish the whole song on the spot.
Hugo didn't think much about it, he played it with the electric guitar in his arms, the melody was just a simple chord at hand, the arrangement was not complicated, and the lyrics were not deliberately conceived, as if it were an exercise piece. But unexpectedly, Foquin added the drums, and then the other three were also excited, and began to play in line with Hugo's melody. This kind of sudden 'sexual' random playing is a good process for the band to develop a tacit understanding, and Hugo also enjoyed it.
But who knows, Alfonso actually asked Hugo to use this song as a warm-up exercise for today's street performance, and the other three people also voted in favor. After Hugo's accident, he was not hypocritical, and readily agreed, "I hope our performance doesn't become a lie, that's bad." Hugo laughs and says that the song, which was written by Pedro, was named "Love is a lie" (your. love。 is。 a。 Lie)" and thus became the first song to be sung in the first street performance of Glory to Death.
Hearing Hugo's ridicule, the four of them looked at each other, with mischievous smiles on their faces, in fact, the reason why they have such an idea, on the one hand, is a kind of riposte to Uma's behavior, although Hugo does not want to deliberately hype, but it does not mean that Uma can talk nonsense as he wants; on the other hand, it is also a counterattack to the paparazzi, watching Hugo surrounded by the paparazzi, as Hugo's partner, the four of them will naturally not stand idly by.
So when Alfonso put forward this proposal, he immediately received a response from the other three people, although they have not known each other for a long time, but the tacit understanding between them has been quietly sprouting.
"Alfonso, pay attention." Fokine opened his mouth to say that because Hugo arranged the song "Love is a Lie" with ease and casualness, without too much cumbersome arrangement and without adding keyboards, Alfonso took on the responsibility of melodic guitar at this time.
After Fokine gave the order, he gave two cymbal rhythms, and Alfonso's electric guitar strings cut in. Since the chord of "Love is a Lie" is relatively simple and not very technical, although they have only practiced it a few times, it is not too difficult in actual combat. On the other hand, it is indeed a good choice to use such a song as a warm-up track.
Hugo stood in front of the microphone stand, slightly nervous, after all, this was the first time he officially stood on a stage as the lead singer, even if it was just a street stage, he was a little uncomfortable, but when he turned his head, he saw the playful smile on Alfonso's face, the smile on Hugo's face was not tightened, it bloomed, and the tension disappeared in an instant, he knew that the friends deliberately used this song to open, it was a prank, so Hugo couldn't help but wonder: if the paparazzi next to him would interpret this song? Or that they simply couldn't find the trick in there, which would be disappointing.
After a slight pause, Hugo smiled into the microphone in his hand and began to hum, "I fell asleep by the phone, it's two o'clock in the morning, I'm waiting alone, tell me where are you?" Hugo's voice has a little smile in it, which seems incompatible with the artistic conception of the lyrics, but it is imprinted with a different style in the warm afternoon sun.
After starting to sing, Hugo gradually got into the groove, he began to steady his voice, and devoted himself to awakening the lyrics that had just come to mind just now, "I found that the note had other people's names written on them, and you flew to me to 'kiss' but the previous feeling was gone, because I could feel that you were gone." ”
In fact, Hugo's creation of this song is a bit ridiculous and mischievous, although it is also a full stop to describe a relationship, but it does not exactly match his own situation, just like Uma - making up 'chaos'. But it is undeniable that Hugo is now becoming more and more handy on the creative track, even if it is just a product of a prank, but the quality is still good, and the concise and powerful melody with easy-to-understand lyrics is very catchy.
Hollywood Boulevard was bustling with people, but no one stopped around Glory to Death, but because they were putting on a show, people would subconsciously turn their eyes to it, but not necessarily slow down. There were still only three paparazzi around James Rattle, making this small area seem very lonely.
James originally thought that it was just the band that the band had started to perform, and it was no secret that Hugo had a 'colorful' musical talent in the circle, but it was just an after-dinner conversation, after all, before Hugo actually released the album, this could only be regarded as a kind of talent. James was initially curious about what kind of performance Hugo's band would perform, but he was quickly drawn to the lyrics and ...... Amazed.
"I can't stay silent forever, when you try to pretend it's nothing, you can hide things behind your back, but don't take me for a fool!"
When entering the chorus, the smooth electronic guitar strings are perfectly integrated with the drum kit under the communication of the bass, creating a shock 'wave' that gradually moves towards a high 'tide', and Hugo's voice is also released little by little accompanied by the melody, and the lyrics full of reflection 'shooting' burst out with infinite energy at this moment.
James was stunned: Is Hugo going to war against Uma? "I can't stay silent forever, you can hide the truth, but please don't take me for a fool", this kind of dialogue is so powerful that people can't help but speculate about the truth behind Uma's statements. The lyrics contained infinite power and shocked James's thoughts.
The other two paparazzi standing next to them didn't react at first, but when the chorus melody hit the spark, they also began to notice the abnormality.
"You can sue me that there is no one else there, you can sue me that you are home alone, you can look me in the eye and pretend to be a qiē, but I know, I know, your love is just a lie, nothing but a lie!"
Hugo's mellow voice 'shoots' dazzling light in the sun, bursting out with huge energy to tear every lyric into pieces, that simple word "lie" is like a cannonball, venting all the feelings, that simple and rough love is so real and direct, so that the energy of the notes can be transmitted to the bottom of every listener's heart.
The biggest feature of this song is that it is easy to understand and catchy, which is very different from the current metal rock, the 'fancy' guitar strings and complex melodic arrangements are abandoned, and are replaced by simple melodies that make people hum two lines when they listen to it, and at the same time it is very good, so only halfway through the singing, there are eight or nine tourists around who stop their footsteps and start beating the beat with Hugo's singing.
"You look so innocent, but the way you speak betrays your guilt, yes, you know what I mean, what does it feel like when you 'kiss' me when you know I trust you? Do you think of me when he screws you? Can you be cheaper? ”
The catharsis of love is at its peak in the main song of the second part of the song, tearing this betrayal bloody apart in a more direct and cruel way, and Hugo's voice full of love xù notes makes each note bloom vividly, presenting the power of music in its entirety.
James and the other three paparazzi were completely stunned, if Hugo's song was really a response to Uma's recent remarks, it would be too exciting, because the 'female' person Hugo said in this song is completely cheap. people, not only did she betray her boyfriend, but she was full of lies, and she was a complete betrayer. This is really exciting! Those paparazzi who left the field early knew about the situation here, and they probably regretted it to the point that their intestines were blue.
"So don't try to say you're sorry, don't try to redeem it, don't 'waste' your 'lips' and tongue, because it's too late, too late!"
Hugo didn't know what the paparazzi were thinking, he didn't pay attention to how many people around him stopped, all his 'essence' was put on the band, singing this song was not too difficult for Hugo, and even he had some playful lightness, so that the whole song was with a kind of absurd mockery, so Hugo paid more attention to listening to the band's run-in.
A week of practice was still too short, and it was obvious that Pedro's bass was more about taking care of the drum kit, and the disconnection from the guitar was more obvious, which made the melody of the song always take on a stumbling feeling. Fortunately, the chords of this song are relatively simple, and even if they go wrong, they are not obvious.
"You can sue me that there is no one else there, you can sue me that you are home alone, you can look me in the eye and pretend to be a qiē, but I know, I know, your love is just a lie, nothing but a lie!"
After entering the chorus, Pedro's expression is obviously better, especially the accent of "lie" at the end, which combines the whole orchestra with a clear and powerful force, and also focuses on the note "lie" in the whole song, and the surrounding listeners may not have a deep memory of the overall lyrics, but they can definitely leave the key words of "lies, lies" in their minds constantly circling. That's the difference in how well the band plays.
Hugo's voice was completely released in this smooth performance, venting all the banter, ridicule, disdain, and ridicule, and the sentence "Your love is just a lie" was like an extraterrestrial meteorite, smashing the street, and the smoke was billowing out.
James couldn't help but sigh: What a slap in the face, Hugo's song just now was like a huge slap in the face, slapped on Uma mercilessly. This is really 'fine'!
