In the end, Ye Weiyang still didn't think of the album name.

Puding and Wu Dawei support "Alive", Jing Bo'an and Yang Xiao support "People Without Ideals Don't Be Sad", and Ye Weiyang himself is a difficult choice.

So he chose to put it aside for the time being and handed over the decision to Liu Yunqing.

He can accept any album name that company wants to choose.

As for the album's final song issue.

After several days of discussion, six songs were temporarily finalized.

"People without ideals are not sad"

"To Live"

"A Guide to Waste in Life"

"Hundred Thousand Hippies"

"Entering the Formation"

Goodbye Jack

The last song "Goodbye Jack" is not strictly considered ideal, but it is still very consistent with the proposition of "living".

The song "Goodbye Jack" expresses goodbye to the "beat generation" emotions that are inherent in the book of the famous writer Jack Kerouac.

From another perspective, after saying goodbye to these bad emotions, we have ushered in a new path in life and regained our ideals.

So after hesitating for a while, Ye Weiyang still chose this song.

Of course, the decisive factor is that this song was a divine song in the Chinese rock circle in the previous life, and it would be a pity not to be moved here.

In addition, there is also a song called "Entering the Formation".

This song is actually a song that Ye Weiyang thought of after he proposed the theme of "ideal".

Strictly speaking, Mayday's "Entering the Formation Song" is indeed not pure rock, but a popular rock song.

It's no wonder Mayday is always called pseudo-rock. All their popular songs are popular, so they are naturally not favored by the so-called "rock circle".

But even though he knew that even if the band was popular, the rock circle might sneer, Ye Weiyang still chose to put this song into the "pure rock" album he wanted to do.

Because he thinks it is suitable!

First of all, this song is very rock in terms of melody!

The heavy electric guitar melody sounds very exciting.

Moreover, the style that combines Chinese style and rock has always been the style that Ye Weiyang wants to promote in this world.

The second is the lyrics.

As a city wall, just to block, all freedom desire

When a faith cannot resist, there will be war and famine everywhere

Everyone jumps out of their comfort zone and wants to live their own life. Isn’t it because they desire freedom to jump out of this city wall, but relying solely on free faith can’t resist the erosion of reality.

At the same time, there is a strong sense of criticality in this song.

When a truth can be hidden by one hand until people forget it.

It cannot be clean and eliminated, and ghosts and monsters are not allowed.

If the young have no food and the people have no houses, who is sharing the spoils?

Thousands of years later, you and I are still raised.

The tears are not dry and the heart is not cold, what is still hot.

I went into the formation just because I regretted that I couldn’t make steel!

Isn’t this a song full of rock criticism and resistance?

Is this not in line with the spirit of rock and roll that has been advocating since its birth, saying no to the world and awakening people's beliefs?

From the bottom of my heart, Ye Weiyang felt that this was a song covered in pop rock skin, but singing the spirit of rock!

Although there are still some pop music routines in melody, it is precisely this popular routine that makes the song more easily accepted by the public and sung by young people!

Only by analyzing the core of rock and roll in popular ways that are easier for the public to accept can more people understand and come into contact with rock and roll that has long become a niche culture.

The fans of the band that are open are not all rock fans, and even rock fans are the few. Most of them are pop fans, and they like to listen to pop music.

In the eyes of most general public, rock music is still regarded as a niche and underground, and it is difficult to enter the public's attention.

So Ye Weiyang felt that it is still necessary to have such a popular rock song on the album.

In my previous life, there were actually many people who learned about and came into contact with rock culture from "Entering the Formation" and then fell in love with rock music.

You have to eat rice one bite at a time, and you have to expand the audience of rock music step by step.

If "Goodbye Jack" is a spiritual work for rock veterans, then "Entering the Formation Song" is a work for newbies who don't understand rock!

Ye Weiyang always feels that step by step is the correct way to promote rock.

First let the newbies feel the charm of rock music through songs such as "My Sky", "Mountains and Seas", and "Entering the Formation Song", and then let everyone understand through "Goodbye Jack", "Not Sad Without Ideals" and "Hundred Thousand Hippies" that true rock is not all radical, restless, and struggle.

In fact, rock music is also far away from restlessness and rudeness, with a catchy and wonderful melody skeleton, and can also present a charming multi-color halo!

Of course, in addition to these six songs, there are also self-compositions by Jing Bo'an and Yang Xiao, which will also be included in the album, but they have nothing to do with the theme of the album.

This situation is actually very common in many albums.

For example, some idol groups usually ask people to make songs when they release albums, but if there are members in the group who can write songs, the company will also put the songs they write into the album, which is a benefit for fans, but it may have nothing to do with the theme of the album's title song.

Compared with these idol groups, the songs written by Yang Xiao and Jing Bo'an are much higher in quality.

Anyway, Ye Weiyang felt that their songs might be popular.

"Fragile Planet"

"Borrowing the Moon"

With these two songs in hand, the current tentative seven songs for the new album are currently available.

But that's not all.

In the plan, the second vocational group of the non-closing band should have 12 songs and ten songs written by Ye Weiyang, which revolves around the theme of "ideal", and shouts to the music scene for the non-closing band.

The first songs of the two Jing Bo'an and Yang Xiao are, on the one hand, as fans' songs, and on the other hand, they are also an attempt. If the market response is good, they may also make more efforts in their creation in the future.

However, after confirming the six songs, Ye Weiyang was a little worried.

The songs he prepared before, such as "Don't Ask Me What Disco", "Kill That Shijiazhuang Man", "Don't Cry", "Elop", etc., are not consistent with the theme of the new album, so he can only be temporarily put on hold.

For a while, Ye Weiyang could not think of which rock songs were related to "ideals", so after deciding these seven songs, the closed-door meeting for the team's song selection came to an end.

With the lyrics and music scores of these seven songs, Puding and Yang Xiao and others started familiarizing themselves with the songs and rehearsals, and first solved the performance problems of these songs.

Ye Weiyang also continued to start his "creation".
Chapter completed!
