Chapter 1687： Soul calling

Hugo once thought that if he hadn't been exposed to rock and roll, he would never know the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Nirvana, the Elton John, the Bonjovi... Then What will happen to his life.

Maybe he will not become an actor, let alone find a place in the world of performance; maybe he will not lead glory to death to where he is today, let alone reawaken the life of rock faith; maybe he won’t even Will travel, and will not run away from home with his friends to chase illusory rock dreams. He will go through high school, college, work, get married, and have children step by step, and then live like this for the rest of his life.

There is nothing wrong with such an ordinary life, because 90% of the people in this world are like this, living peacefully and guarding themselves according to the established rules of society. But only those who have truly experienced the beauty of the top of the mountain know that life can be ordinary, calm, and dull, but it cannot be without color, because everyone has only one chance of life, and everyone has the right to choose how to reach the end. The dream is the most colorful paintbrush, the unknown is the most colorful paint, and the challenge is the most vivid color.

Therefore, it has been bumpy, hard, and bumpy all the way, all the difficulties and obstacles have come to the present, but Hugo has never regretted it. Because he can proudly say: He has never wasted his time, every moment he can deeply feel that he is alive.

"Long live rock and roll (...&, this song is full of not only Hugo's feelings for rock and roll, but also Hugo's understanding of his own life path, which is the biggest driving force that has supported him until now.

For many people, the lyrics of "Long Live Rock and Roll" will be unfamiliar, incomprehensible, and even inexplicable; but for true rock lovers, especially the baby boomers born around 1967 , This is not just a song, but also their life, their life.

Hugo walked to the keyboard, picked up his guitar, and played the song passionately by himself. The cheerful melody circulated in the rehearsal room, and the laughter was so glorious to death. The friends couldn’t help it. He became quiet, looked back at Hugo, and listened carefully to Hugo's soft humming. Although the first time I felt that Hugo was still a bit unsmooth, the lyrics were a little rough, and many words needed to be considered, but there is no doubt that this song easily evoked their sympathy.

The five members of Glory to Death are all about the same age. The oldest Alfonso and the youngest Pedro are only four years old. They grew up almost in the same era, and they have similar music. Preference has brought them together and achieved their current glory to death. Therefore, for them, Hugo's lyrics can be understood without any brain power at all, because this is their life.

"We are still arguing about who is better, Elton John or Billy Joel; we are still wondering if the song she sang in the cave was created by Kurt."

Hearing Hugo’s brisk lyrics, the four band members looked at each other. Neal and Foggin said at the same time, "Elton John"; while Alfonso and Pedro said in unison, "Billy- Joel". As soon as the voice fell, the four of them burst into laughter, and then Alfonso and Pedro stood together, seeming to want to divide the camp, even took Neil to look around, and walked to Fujin. Then he looked over with hostility.

Standing on the side, Samora couldn’t help clapping her hands and burst into laughter. Long before she became Hugo’s assistant, Samora knew exactly what a good band Glory to Death is, but even so, it became Rain. After a part of his life, Samora was still surprised. For the first time, he knew that there were so many ups and downs and convictions behind the band; at the same time, he also knew for the first time what a truly outstanding band needs to go through. But Samora has always maintained unwavering confidence in Hugo, not only because of Hugo's wisdom, but also because of the never extinguished enthusiasm in Hugo's heart.

In fact, Samora is nine years younger than Hugo. Strictly speaking, he has not experienced that era. When he was born, rock and roll had entered the final stage, and disco was on the rise. But Samora's enthusiasm for rock and roll is unique, which almost changed his life trajectory-otherwise he would not have become Hugo's assistant. Therefore, at this time, he can easily understand the lyrics of this song, including every detail in it, which makes Samora excited all over, just want to beat the beat with the music and simply enjoy the melody. The happiness brought.

Even though Samora has witnessed such scenes countless times with her own eyes, she still can't help but feel the excitement in her heart every time. Perhaps this is the important reason why the glory to death music is moving. But today, someone ruined this beautiful moment. The harsh ringing of the mobile phone came in his pocket. The assistant habit developed over the years allowed Samora to take out the mobile phone, get on the phone, turn around and leave the scene as soon as possible. Disturb what is happening at the scene.

"Hello, this is Lancaster's cell phone." Samora has already faded away from the youthfulness of the year, and is skillfully handling Hugo's private business.

Cameron heard Samora's voice and immediately guessed it. Hugo must be busy at this time, which made her hesitate, "Hey, Samora, it's me, Cameron... isn't it convenient now?"

Cameron has read the headlines of today’s major newspapers. Strictly speaking, even if you want to ignore it, it’s not easy, not only because more than three hundred newspapers across the United States have published the grand occasion of yesterday’s ultimate showdown, but also for glory. Winning the top spot in the posture of creating history to death has exhausted all the words of praise; at the same time, because the entire crew is discussing this matter, everyone who sees her will smile brightly and express congratulations loudly. , Or it means "To the death this album is really great".

Everyone knows that Hugo once again wrote his myth, and as Hugo's girlfriend, Cameron has also become the object of congratulations. But Cameron didn’t know if he should call Hugo. Although she and Hugo reconciled after the Rose Bowl premiere, the relationship between the two is still a bit jerky, more importantly. Cameron hardly knew anything about the production process of the album "Blurry Rain".

So, even after dialing the phone, Cameron still had no clue and didn't know what to say. "Oh, Cameron, Hugo is not working right now, but..." Samora's voice came through the receiver, and the murmur in the background could be faintly heard. Samora paused, "Came Long, you should listen to it yourself."

Before Cameron could speak, Samora pointed the earpiece of the phone at the stereo in the rehearsal room, and Hugo's excitement came through clearly.

"Now the record store is not as good as it used to be, and it seems that no one cares, but I, you, and our friends are always living in prayer." Cameron understood Hugo's lyrics at once. This is also an important reason why she fell madly in love with Hugo at first: the blood of rock and roll is also flowing in her soul.

This made Cameron calm down and listened carefully to Hugo's heartfelt singing. Even through the phone, she could clearly feel the excitement and excitement of Hugo's emotions at this time. The mellow voice outlined a little bit. Starlight makes everything dreamy and beautiful.

"Sing, rock and roll, long live rock and roll! The guitar is forever, and the soul trembles!..." But, listening to the lyrics, listening to the melody, listening to the singing, Cameron's tears couldn't help but slip down, obviously the song is so joyful So bright and brilliant, filled with turbulent happiness and joy, but the tears still blurred the vision.

It is precisely because Hugo is so happy, so happy like never before, that Cameron's emotions began to fall apart bit by bit. This is the Hugo she knows, this is the Hugo she has fallen in love with, and this is the Hugo she has fallen into. Hugo has never changed.

For the first time, Cameron began to look back at the experience of the past year, and she realized that she had gradually become a part of Hugo's life, but instead she began to give up understanding Hugo's life. If it were before, she would know everything about Hugo, and she would know all the details of "Bath in the Morning Light". So, since when did she start to neglect?

So Her and Hugo's disagreement about the world tour, tracing the root cause, is it precisely because of this? So how did all this happen?

This realization made Cameron start to feel frightened and even a little overwhelmed. She knew that the album "Blurry Rain" was of great significance to Hugo, but she discovered that she knew nothing about this album. This made Cameron do not know how to face Hugo, tears burst the bank without warning.

Cameron could clearly hear the call from the depths of Hugo's soul: this is where all his passion lies. The stage is the place where Hugo can survive, and music is the origin of Hugo’s dream. If you give up the stage, the tour, and all of this for the so-called "survival", then what is the meaning of "survival", because Hugo is no longer a Hugo. Glory to death, glory, or death, remember?

"Hey, Cameron..." The music ended, and Hugo's voice came from the receiver, panting slightly, full of sunshine.

Cameron said with difficulty and returned, "Hey, Hugo." But before the words fell, she covered her mouth, tears completely broke, and Hugo, her most familiar, came back, reminding her That afternoon in Philadelphia, the coffee shop where she and Hugo met for the first time. Hugo is still the same Hugo, there is still no change, then... is she changed?
