g>Look at your ideals: There is a drawback in this streaming media era. Everyone listens to a song on the software. If you listen to a song for 4 or 5 seconds, you don’t think it sounds good, so cut it off immediately.
I know that many musicians are thinking about the order in which the songs of each album are arranged when they are creating. If you want to understand what a team or a musician really thinks, you still need to listen to an album in order.
I remember that Zijian also emphasized this point. Can you talk about it from a more professional perspective?
Zijian: This is a fast-moving era, and it’s already very impetuous. Everyone can’t calm down, but music doesn’t do that. Our music is different from the Douyin Divine Comedy. People who know Hedgehog through “Le Xia” should like what we have deposited. The music we make is not something that we forget after three minutes.
Why we still insist on making a full-length album of 12 songs, because our expression and attitude need to be carried in this form. It contains our emotions for a period of time, as well as the progress of our music. This is not a problem that one or two songs can explain. It is all about it, you know?
The things we convey are three-dimensional and thick. If you listen with a three-minute aesthetic, it’s ok, and you may feel refreshed, but if you sink a little bit and give yourself two hours of quiet time to listen, you may feel more.
Of course how to taste that is your business. If I tell you this Kung Pao chicken will be delicious for a while, you have to swallow it in one bite, it’s ok, anyway, you won’t choke to death by drinking your saliva, right? But if you chew a little bit, it will taste better.
Look at the ideal: Like Yifan mentioned earlier in the era of music recording, is the “in vain” in this album a combination of social events?
Zijian: Last year’s killing of doctors was really cruel. Seeing that video, for a moment I felt cold all around me, the feeling of being in the ice cellar.
This incident made me lament how human nature can be so vicious and touching, so it is easy to write into the song. Of course, the lyrics are not too specific, and the song is still sensual, but what is inspired is the killing of doctors.
Look at the ideal: I think now that we see too much information every day, people become especially easy to forget. If it can be recorded in music, this is rock music is particularly important
