In fact, it's no wonder that Lance drifted away again...

During that time, he entered the peak period of creation, writing songs almost every day, overflowing with passion.

Once, James stayed up late with him, accidentally fell asleep and snored next to him.

Ke Lance listened to the snoring for a while, and actually wrote a melody based on the ups and downs and rhythm of the snoring. The next day, he deliberately played the guitar to the other party. After receiving some routine praise, the whole person was awesome Gotta go to heaven: I'm a fucking genius!

James: ...

There are twelve songs in this album: <New Life>, <Baby, let's see Peter Rabbit>, <Why Shut Me Out of Heaven>, <Two Years Later>, <What's wrong with the city>, <I want to Make Love to You>, <Cheese, Whiskey, Christmas Turkey>, <One Night in London>, <Rose Never Withers>, <Devil's Deal>, <Lost>, <We Are in Love>.

And this melody later became the prelude to the second song "Baby, let's see Peter Rabbit".

In short, Lance is now as if by God, everything he writes is right.

Later, by the time the royalties were signed and in the studio, about a dozen or so songs planned for the album had been written.

The Planetary Band went into the luxurious recording studio that Abel had rented in advance.

James looked at everyone in the room, his teammates, as well as the sound engineer and the "polishing shit" producer who was invited again, but because he offended him so far and has not been named, he said: "Everyone, get ready Ok?"

Everyone nodded and responded to him: "Okay, no problem."

So, he waved his hand vigorously in satisfaction and yelled: "Come on, let's rock and roll together!"

At this point, the prelude to the recording has also begun.

But even though he is the one standing at the front responsible for boosting morale.

But in fact, Lance is the leader of the recording studio.

Apart from James, almost no one can refute his statement.

However, during the recording process of the new album, he has nothing to refute. He has always maintained an unimaginable passion, and from time to time he will burst out a lot of sparks of inspiration with James.

They started fighting all night.

Do not eat or drink!Sleepless!Put your heart and soul into it!

The new bass player is miserable by the pressure of the job.

The previous work style of the Adventure Group was not like this. In Sanderson's words, "we are essentially a group of elves who love nature", so although they will work hard every day and make music, they will enjoy it more. Life.

But I never expected that the style of other people's bands is completely different from my own.

In his opinion, the Planetary Band is like a large mental hospital. The lead singer is a cherub when he is happy, and a powder keg when he is unhappy; Children with sensory impairments, or cognitive impairments, always feel that their band is normal.

You're not normal at all, are you?

In addition to that, there is that kind of work intensity...

Bassist Sanderson feels like a slave oppressed by a slave owner, working from morning to night every day, and he is not allowed to complain about being tired or tired.

He was in despair: "Don't you rest? Don't you drink water? Don't you eat? (Are you all devils?)"

But the answer he gets is always: "After finishing here, rest and drink."

But when will it be finished! !

Whether it's James, Lance or Baldwin...

Their attitudes towards music are sometimes crazy like cultists, they live for music, and their hearts beat only for music!

Although it sounds admirable to say so...

But being in it, I just feel scared!

Sanderson occasionally thinks dramatically, "Ah, I'm going to give up my life for this work."

I was accidentally seen by James once, and the green-eyed lead singer did not comfort him at all, but showed a devilish smile: "I heard that the soul can continue to work! And there is no need to pay wages."

Sanderson was speechless.

But the enthusiasm of the band members has been the strongest magic weapon to help the planet to succeed from the beginning.

Therefore, even though Lance was so angry before, Baldwin still couldn't help but fell in love with those songs, and felt sincerely happy and satisfied that he could play these music; the same is true for the new bassist Sanderson , At first he couldn't bear the intensity of the work and almost resigned.But as a musician, he could feel how great Lance's songs were, so he was reluctant to leave like this, so he could only continue to hold on bitterly.

In this recording, everyone exhausted themselves, but their spirits were completely overexcited.

Especially when watching that song go through production and finally become sexy and beautiful, the mood is like a parent watching a child grow up, gratified and happy.

In the later stage of recording, they completely exhausted themselves.

But at that time, the lyrics of the last song were not yet written.

James looked at Lance to see what he was thinking.

But Lance rarely showed weakness: "I can't think of anything now, how about waiting a few days..."

After the two of them stared at each other for a while...

James suddenly had another ghost idea: "This album is ours, and it is also dedicated to all planetary fans, so why not let fans participate together?"

"Fans get involved? What do you want to do?" Lance looked at him in surprise.

James immediately called Abel and asked him to bring some of the letters that fans had sent to Planet.

Abel said warily: "What are you trying to do? Don't incite fans to do something they shouldn't do..."

James was dying of exhaustion here. Hearing this, he was a little annoyed, and he said angrily, "What the hell did I do? You always say that I do bad things, do bad things, when have you ever seen me kill someone?"

Hey!

Is killing a person a bad thing?

Abel was dumbfounded for a while.

But the person on the phone was really anxious, and he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only coax him first: "Okay, okay, I'll take it to you later! But, you want a fan letter What are you doing?"

"Can't write lyrics, look for inspiration."

Seeing that he agreed, James didn't make it difficult for him, and directly stated his purpose.

Abel was dubious: "What kind of inspiration can a letter from a fan have?"

But he still got someone to drive them a few sacks of fan letters.

After James got these letters, he immediately dumped them all on the floor, and countless letters from fans piled up like a hill.

He told everyone that you can randomly grab a few letters like a lottery, and then choose the sentences and words you like from the words in the letters from fans, and finally put them together to serve as the lyrics of the last song.

What a whimsical idea!

But everyone in the room who was playing music felt: Wow! !

A joint creation of the band and fans?

This is too fucking romantic.

The eyes of Lance and Baldwin lit up, and even the bass player Sanderson thought it was very interesting.

So, they started.

Lance picked up a pen and took notes by the side. By the way, he also needed to change some inappropriate sentences to be more suitable for the whole song.

As the lead singer, James decided to start with himself.

He took the lead in drawing a letter: "Well, let me choose this sentence as the beginning of this song! It sounds cute... I saw you, but I passed out from overjoy!"

The other three all laughed.

James shrugged and said, "I can still write letters, so it seems to be all right."

Then, Lance also took out an envelope: "I often dream, and I have you in my dreams."

Baldwin pulled out an envelope without saying a word and said, "The moment you open your mouth to sing, the stars fall."

James couldn't help it again: "Am I a monster? Passed out and caused the stars to fall?"

Everyone couldn't help laughing.

Finally it was Sanderson's turn.

It was his first time participating in a planetary group activity, and he took out an envelope with great interest, but his face turned dark and red all of a sudden. When everyone couldn't help but want to see it, he said: "Kiss you, hug you, touch you, love you..."

Everyone immediately understood that there was probably something colorful written in the letter, winked at each other, and stopped pursuing it.

Then, they just made up the length of a song sentence by sentence.

When the last sentence "I wish you well, just because you are unparalleled" is finished...

This song is also put together.

However, because it is pieced together, there is almost no connection between the lyrics and the lyrics.

But every sentence is so sincere, but together it seems to be a sincere love song.

James repacked the opened fan letters, and went out to ask the staff to help record the names and mailing addresses of these fans, and planned to pay them a reward for this lyrics list.

On the other end, Lance quickly modified the melody and lyrics to make the two more consistent.

After the revision was completed, he stopped giving James the score, and simply picked up the guitar and played it again.

James has never let him down. After listening to it once, he immediately sang with the revised lyrics.

After the singing was over, everyone got together to express their opinions and changed the details, and soon went into the recording studio to finish recording the song.

This is the last song of the album <We Are in Love>.

James finished singing the song while standing behind the glass of the recording studio wearing a large headset.

When he closed his eyes and released all his emotions to sing the last line "I hope you are good, because you are incomparably good"...

Bassist Sanderson said emotionally: "The door opened, and a beam of starlight came in!"

Lance, who originally wanted to name the album [Planet Four], immediately changed the name of the album to [Starshine] (Starlight).
