'This is my world' no one will see, but I don't want to spend my life on it. Walking through the wind and rain, persisting in the blizzard, I firmly believe that there will be a rainbow of its own after the rain. How many times, faced with cold eyes and ridicule, but never gave up the ideal in my heart. "
This is the first lyric of Gu Luobei's version of "Broad Ocean and Sky". This is undoubtedly the best portrayal of all independent musicians, and it also sings Gu Luobei's persistence. He said on Oprah's talk show, He's just insisting on himself, he just doesn't want to regret it. This song is undoubtedly the most perfect portrayal of Gu Luobei's mood.
Similarly, according to Craig Cook's latest version of the story, the melancholic state of mind is also like this. They are persistently moving forward for a dream, but at the last moment, they chose a relatively easy path: signing with Universal Music, doing A doll at the mercy of the company, this is understandable, after all, everyone has their own choices. But the point is that the melancholy mood that made the choice, first was unrelenting to the former teammates, and then the album of the same name was released as a single, which became a great irony.
The melancholy mood swept by the tail of the typhoon on Oprah's talk show fell into the greatest sadness at this time. What makes people speechless is that this hole was dug by Craig Bicker himself. If Craig Cook didn't mention the melancholy mood of being an indie band and the Eagle Rock Music Festival, Gu Luobei's version of "The Sea and the Sky" wouldn't have spread so quickly and so quickly, then the situation of the melancholic mood must have been Not so.
For such behavior of melancholy mood, all independent musicians, like Linkin Park, expressed disdain for melancholy mood, and gave up their dreams and chose to become a show-off idol band. The comparison of "broad sea and sky" is even more despised.
In addition to independent musicians, many professional musicians also expressed their silence on the behavior of melancholy mood. Most of the music critics also stood by: the melancholic mood version of "Broad Ocean" is really not a good song, especially in " It's just a dream" and Gu Luobei's version of "broad seas and sky", it's even more terrible.
For a time, the reputation of melancholy mood, which had only been a month since debut, fell to the bottom, and even made Craig Cook wonder if it would be better to expose the backstage fight in Hollywood's 1ù day theater at least to create a **** to make melancholy mood a weak The position is better than it is now notorious.
"Melancholy, I lost the amazing 'broad sea and sky', and now all this is 'just a dream'. Fortunately, there is still skin, and selling on the street is a simple job. "
This limerick became instantly popular on the Internet, and it was completely satirizing the melancholy mood, abandoning the dream, and choosing to become an idol band. This undoubtedly made the situation of melancholy mood worse.
The melancholic mood song mí accumulated after April is still a drop in the bucket, and it does not help the situation of melancholy mood.
Jacob... The injury has been mostly healed. Originally, he wanted to take the opportunity of Oprah's talk show to let the melancholy mood re-enter the publicity. Reg Cook was exhausted. Now the propaganda that was interrupted because of Jacob...tee's injury will continue to be interrupted. How Universal Music should behave in the future needs to be re-adjusted.
In this way, Gu Luo went north to Oprah's talk show, which attracted a series of strong reactions, and the melancholy mood was really the group of pond fish that was affected.
At this juncture, the download page of Tingm's dark music fee was first announced, Evan... Bell's second single "Broad Ocean" and third single "Final" will be released on May 15th and 16th. It has been published on iTures successively, and the physical single can be purchased in major stores on May 17.
This news caused a thousand waves!
In the past few weeks, after Gu Luobei appeared on Oprah's talk show, Yu has been dangling among the media. The stories before the indie bands are fascinating, and they are as eye-catching as the most **** soap operas. And the song title "Broad Ocean and Sky" has become the most frequently mentioned song title in the past two weeks. The song "Finally" has also attracted a lot of attention because of the popularity of Eleven Music Blog. These two qualities are not inferior to "Just a The song "Dream" has long been auditioned by countless netizens.
Now that both songs are going to be singles, this news is tantamount to the finale of this soap opera! The melancholy mood is temporarily submerged, and Universal Music is thinking of emergency measures; Evan... Bell walks all the way, taking advantage of the situation to make two orders and three orders, and the limelight is always in the spotlight!
Just as Teddy... Bell thought before, Gu Luobei successfully followed the "potential" of Oprah's talk show and took the most important step for him as an independent musician.
Two singles running at the same time is also a brand new attempt. As we all know, due to the impact of the economic crisis, the record market has shrunk, and the competition is very fierce. At this time, it is definitely a bold choice to perform two singles at the same time, that is, to fight with myself in the ring.
But if you think about it carefully, this is also excusable, "Broad seas and sky, and 'Finally... these two songs have been heard by thousands of people on the Eleven Music Blog, although there is no illegal download because there is no sound source. Appeared, but there is still no freshness. There is really no need to separate the two songs and stagger the time hypocritically.
Moreover, the two songs have their own supporters, even if they release a single together, those who like it will naturally buy it, and they will not affect the sales of each other because they are released at the same time.
In any case, as soon as the news of the two singles "Broad Oceans" and "Final" was announced, it immediately became the new center of the media whirlpool. Even the most watched newcomer of the year, Alicia... Keys' single "Falling (Fuan , After four weeks, he finally reached the number one spot on the Billboard Singles Chart and occupied the top spot for three weeks, which was also slightly inferior.
As Gu Luobei's second and third singles, they are still free to choose the line, although this time Warner Records once again strongly demanded that the line of singles be handed over to them. "Just a Dream" ranked second on the Billboard singles chart. He has a long-lasting stamina in the position. In L, he swept thousands of troops. Of course, Warner Records was envious, but Gu Luobei still insisted on giving the single to free choice. There would be no "just a dream" without free choice; there would be no Oprah show without Sean...Mayer.
"Broad Ocean and Sky", the first to publish digital audio sources on iTures, the cover still continues the style of "Just a Dream", with a light blue sky, a clear blue sea, and a guitar on the thin white sand at the bottom of the cover. All of them are hand-painted, it seems that they should be colored pencils, and the delicate brushstrokes are obviously from the hands of Gu Luobei. The English cursive script on the cover is "Broad Ocean and Sky", and the subordinate is named "Evan... Bell". The back of the single is a piece of fine white sand, and a series of footprints extend from the upper left side of the screen to the lower right side.
Hand-painted, simple, and profound in meaning, this seems to have become a special cover for Gu Luobei's single cover. "The single package has won the love of countless listeners again. After the launch of iTures, "Broad Ocean and Sky" ended "Just a Dream" Forty-three consecutive days of continuous download chart champion record, and continued to refresh the record of euu with 110,000 downloads that day.
After the "Final" release the next day, the cover didn't disappoint. Fully hand-painted again, a lonely road divides the cover in half, with nothing on either side except the desolate Huang Duo, with "Final" written vertically on the left, and the name "Evan...Bell" on the right occupied full space. On the back cover is only a broken guitar, with the broken guitar strings stubbornly stretched out on the paper.
The cover and back cover of "The Last" are also widely believed by the media. This is Gu Luobei's message of melancholy mood: he wants to go on the road alone and go to the end, and the memory of the band before is like a guitar on the back cover. has been shattered.
In fact, this explanation is reasonable, but Gu Luobei and Melancholy did not respond to this statement, Teddy... Bell said, "You have the freedom to imagine yourself, this is Evan One of the reasons why each cover is hand-painted. Of course, lack of funds is the core of the reason." Only then did the media realize that Gu Luobei's agent is actually a capable person.
The front and back covers of the three singles were designed by himself. Before he knew it, Gu Luobei showed another skill of his to the public, and he was not inferior.
"Finally" on iTures did not shake the positions of "broad seas and sky" and "just a dream" just hung in the third place with 70,000 downloads. It is worth mentioning that Ting m The record that the top three places on the Khan Zai chart were all organized by the same singer was also assigned to Gu Luobei's name at this moment.
"Finally" was only on the third day after the release of the digital audio source, and it became the champion of the iTures download list of the day. The sky and the sea" prevailed.
On May 17th, "Broad Seas" and "Last" were released in the United States, with weekly sales of 130,000 and 75,000 copies, respectively, and their positions on the Billboard singles chart. After "Just a Dream", it will hang in the third place, and "Finally" will hang in the tenth place.
Three of the top ten songs on the Billboard singles chart belong to Gu Luobei. This achievement is absolutely incredible for a newcomer, at least Linkin Park has not achieved it yet. Of course, the popularity of "Broad Ocean" and "Final" is one of the factors, Yu after Oprah's talk show is also one of the factors, and the melancholy mood and Gu Luobei's gossip are also one of the factors, but in any case, No. 2, No. 3 and No. 10 on the Billboard Singles Chart all belonged to the name "Evan... Bell", a moment to remember indeed. a.
