The Royal Concept | 人生能有几次疯狂
关于The Royal Concept ( TRC ), 我也不记得我是什么时候开始听他们的歌的，想说去年8月的时候，纯粹就是那段时间好久没去看现场，随手打开B10的公众号看到推送，想着那天晚上有空可以去看看，点开网易云搜他们的歌听，发现早已加了红心的< On Our Way >哈哈哈，又是一个被我冷落在歌单的角落里的宝藏乐队哈哈。去了现场，就成了我2017年看过的最难忘的Live！那天晚上太疯狂炸裂了，我想也成为现场无数小伙伴心心念念的难忘一夜。而今年的live，来得更猛烈更动情，就连做厂牌的朋友都说，这是近期唯一一个让他们有冲动再邀请一次的乐队！如果你不认识他们，或者你是路人粉，你到了现场，你绝对会变成死忠粉，死心塌地，无法自拔，就像我一样！
The Royal Concept, 就是来自独立音乐大本营北欧瑞典——斯德哥尔摩。不同于北欧所盛产的灵动飘逸或冷凝磅礴的氛围、后摇、金属等音乐，The Royal Concept 有着动感畅爽的摇摆节奏，酣畅淋漓的阳光流行电子旋律，无不让人心神驰骋，又轻松自在，热血沸腾。
On Our Way：
I'll believe when the walls stop turning
I'll believe when the storm is through
I believe I heard them say
David won't stop writing songs
I never wanna shake their hands and stay
I never wanna shake their hands and stay
Oh no let's go
We are young, we are one
Let us shine for what it's worth
To your place, place, place
We're on our way, way, way
We're on our way, way, way
We're on our way somehow
Hold me close, close, close
We're losing time, time, time
We're losing time, time, time
We're falling to the ground
I'll believe when the sky is burning
I'll believe when I see the view
I believe that I say
David won't stop dreaming now
And everybody clap your hands and shout
And everybody clap your hands and shout
Oh no they shout
We are young, we are one
Let us shine for what it's worth
To your place, place, place
We're on our way, way, way
We're on our way, way, way
We're on our way somehow
Hold me close, close, close
We're losing time, time, time
We're losing time, time, time
We're falling to the ground
Hold me close
We're losing time
Hold me close
We're falling to the ground
看过美剧《Glee》的朋友都会对这首让你抖腿到停不下来的 < On Our Way >印象深刻， 据说还是FIFA 14游戏中御用bgm。反正我没打过 I don't know。
去年当现场大家合着David的声音唱< tonight >, Povel敲着鼓的时候，我就知道< On Our Way > 来了！然后我看到我高举的手机屏幕里，大家都举起的双手，默契十足地拍出那一下下清脆而炙热有力的节奏，大家一起高唱 “ We are young, we are one. Let us shine for what it's worth "的时候，我的小心脏真的激动要蹦出来了。
Smile：
Oh,yeah
Young folks listen up this is where we are
Caught up in southern California with nowhere to start
So now what's here for me
Yeah
I've had enough of him still asking for your number
While I'm reading your blog
You know my blues can't wake her
My heart it can not break her
Now I carry this sorrow
'Cause hell I can not shake her no
My world keeps turning
My heart it keeps on burning
And I know where to find her
Just wanna see her smile again
Oh,yeah
I got to dress sharp you know I will
Give you what it takes
'Cause I'm not gonna be undone
By those beautiful fakes
And your halo
There's gotta be God
That you're waiting on
I'll step on a grenade so you can see I'm the bomb
You know my blues can't wake her
My heart it can not break her
Now I carry this sorrow
'Cause hell I can not shake her no
My world keeps turning
My heart it keeps on burning
And I know where to find her
Just wanna see her smile again

David他们说觉得在巡演时四个人在舞台上一起唱歌氛围特别好，更放松，也更能激发起创作歌曲时的心情。这就有了他们四个一起录制的< Smile >。
很多人喜欢TRC，就是喜欢他们音乐里，就连他们本人自身，都散发着的浓浓的复古慵懒，自由欢脱、华丽骚气的气质。
这首< Smile > 采用七十年代的华丽的流行副歌编排，四人合唱让歌曲在狂欢亢奋的氛围中，更加洋溢轻松慵懒的调性。
从左到右Povel(鼓手)， Fillip (主音吉他)， David（主唱），Magnus( 贝斯)
我们从TRC的音乐里能听到浓厚的blues影子，他们是非常喜欢摇滚乐的，他们想在保留摇滚的真实强硬和粗糙的同时，也增加一分欢腾与轻松感。这就是The Royal Concept，来自严寒冷峻的国度，却经常穿着花里胡哨的衬衣，假装自己在加利福尼亚哈哈，做着动感绚烂的旋律，口水流行却够狂够真，让人心甘情愿被洗脑！
Fashion：
I dress like shit call it fashion but your fash is the shit
I never think twice in life but it's time I realize
Lovin' you ain't easy I'm not gonna leave ya no no no
I said yeah yeah
Just gotta groove on
I gotta just get gone you really turn me on
I gotta just get gone but you really turn me on
Lovin' you ain't easy I'm not gonna leave ya
No no no I said yeah yeah yeah
Cuz I love the way ya wear on me
And your fashion is so wild and free
Honey lovin' you ain't easy
I'm not gonna leave ya
no no
Funk吉他的粗放和自由，旋律的雀跃起伏，David切换自如的假音，副歌四人的合唱，把最后那份狂欢的高潮点燃。
吉他手Fillip曾说过，fashion这个词是具有张力的，你可以喜欢，也可以讨厌。如同这首歌，讲述了一个穿上自己最fashion的衣服去泡吧的人，遇上一个style全然相反的女的，深深被对方吸引着。“ 爱其实是一场斗争，这斗争时常与你所痴迷的美妙灵魂保持一致。”
UP ALL NIGHT ：
In your touch I feel I lose all my control
Like a ghost
That keeps on whispering let go
We could be dreaming
That's what they said
All I know Is you're keeping me up all night
Shut the door
And keep me up all night
We could be flying
We're face to face
Heaven can wait, this is such a lovely place
Gravity I see the world beneath my feet
Silently The stars are sailing next to me
As I touch the sky
It all dawns on me now
Like a rush of blood straight through my head
Just like Juliet said
Once Romeo is dead
We can fly so high, so far away
All I know Is you're keeping me up all night
Shut the door
And keep me up all night
...
这次，David的歌词写的很温柔浪漫，他说" We could be flying.We're face to face.Heaven can wait, this is such a lovely place ” 也许这歌就是写给他的貌美女票的，遇到对的人，他/她就会驱散你的阴霾，治愈你的世界。两个人在一起的时候，天堂都不及彼此之间的情愫美好，David连唱歌的口吻都变得柔软迷蒙，旋律也更柔情满溢。
< Up All Night >，去年在深圳的现场，就是这首歌的首演! 就连排练都是当天在B10调音时完成的! David说以后乐队每次演这首歌都会想起中国， 是的，那必须的哈哈哈！
去年David在深圳场说，他收到在Instagram上一个中国男歌迷的留言，请求他在现场上唱< Up All Night >, 他很震惊这首还未发行的歌已经泄露出去，但更高兴的是歌迷喜欢这首新歌。所以他们决定就在现场首次演出！
But somehow the song is out there,
Some of you have heard it.
So,therefore we gonna play it now.
And this is because of China !
And this is the first time we've ever ever played.
This is the true story !!
Shut the world：
Start of show tonight they're lighting up the sky
No I didn't plan on seeing you walk by
Oh god I wish you'd stay
We're gonna live and die young
We're gonna live and die young
I'd rather be a ticking bomb than a fading light
I keep staring at that empty seat again
And I know this night I'll probably just end up high out of my mind
We're gonna live and die young
We're gonna live and die young
I'd rather be a ticking bomb than a fading light
I see the riot grow see the riot grow
I see the skyline glow see the skyline glow
And now I've lost the words but the masses know
They all sing for you
It's always been about you
We're gonna live and die young
We're gonna live and die young
...
Shut the world的视频截下来的gif图
David式旋转跳跃了解下
2017年场，第一首就是< Shut the World >。欢呼声中，David一开口，当时觉得天呐，这嗓音太亮了，太干净，太美了，回来的路上，根据大概的歌词印象搜出来了这首，在地铁上回味了好久，还差点错过站下车
We're gonna live and die young
我们要及时行乐以免英年早逝
We're gonna live and die young
我们要好好活着，抓住当下
In the End：
I get all terrified whenever
Our own worlds collide
You've never been around
So how come you're all dressed up now?
And you look good, you really do
But now is not the time
To mess about you know
I would have but my hands are tied
And in the end you're on your own
I couldn't stand there all alone
Just how independent have you grown
And all those tears will be long gone
But in the end you're on your own
I just can't wait for this no more
I couldn't stand there all alone
I know you wouldn't have the guts
To say my name out loud
Ten thousand people wouldn't care
To say it right out loud
And you get terrified and think
About the big black sky
But all the stars, they all make sense
Compared to you and me
And in the end you're on your own
I couldn't stand there all alone
Just how independent have you grown
And all those tears will be long gone
But in the end you're on your own
I just can't wait for this no more
I couldn't stand there all alone
Cause you're the only one I get
I'm the one you tried to hide
You're the only girl inside
I'm the only one you found
You're the only one this fierce
I'm the one that stayed somehow
We're the only ones tonight
We're just here for one more night
We can stay the way we are
You can be with whom you want
You can hold onto your world
You can dance the night away
But I can teach you how to fall
Fly, fly, fly, fly, fly, fly
La la la, oh, la la la, oh
La la la, oh, la la la, oh
And in the end you're on your own
I couldn't stand there all alone
这张 < Goldrushed >,是我最喜欢的一张，封面David的侧颜线条美如画，色彩搭配也很特别，专辑的歌也很合心意， < In the End >也是出自这张专。
在现场，David说，这首歌是他们在现场最喜欢演奏的一首，也是因为这一首，去年在现场，彻彻底底地被感动和俘获。到现在想起当时，一首首的疯狂和亢奋之下，突然沉静下来，David垂下头，那一声 'In the end, ' 那样清亮忧郁的嗓音一出来，依然会心头一酸，头皮发麻，我依旧很深刻地记得，在最后那段合唱，他站在鼓上，大家一起跟着他摆着手，大声喊着lalalala~~ 那是我第一次听到这首歌，回来后就陷入了无数次的循环之中。
去年很后悔没有录下这首的全程，今年，我就真的录下来了，而这首歌也成为他们今年巡演最震撼最动情的一首,给我们所有歌迷留下了难以磨灭的印记。
下面，我手动搬了David在深圳场说的那一段发自肺腑的话。
Honestly, last year when we were here, you guys made a huge huge impact on us.
I'm gonna get a little bit emotional. But I guess it's all right.
We were pretty tired of touring, and we had this China Tour, we didn't know what to expect.
We were tired, cause ,like three or four years of touring, and sharing the same hotel bed, every night!
And we are not getting younger, that's for sure.
But then when we came here, all the people were smiling constantly on every show in China! This was the FIRST SHOW we have ever done in China ! We remmenber that SO MUCH!! It was so greatful for us!!
Honestly, we were almost! almost,!almost at the end of this journey, we were like ,let's go home and find a normal job.
But then you guys came, the decision was easy, and we gonna fucking KEEP ON ! KEEP ON ! We gonna make another record, we have to go back ! ！
Thank you very much !
And this is our favourite song to play, always, always!
Shenzhen~ Shenzhen !
这么一大段话，说出来的时候，心里的那种感动无法言表，他不止一次强调到，来到中国，每一场show上都能看到歌迷观众们脸上从未消失过的笑容。也许正是我们中国歌迷的热情和真诚让他们有了更多的动力，让原本已经疲惫麻木的他们，放弃了要去找份普通工作，过安稳日子的想法，让他们有了继续做音乐的动力。就像他们说的，“ We gonna fucking keep on ! We gonna make another record, we have to go back! ” 所以这次他们带来的全新EP，首次发行就是在中国！他们真心感激中国的歌迷，用满溢的热情与活力，带来最高能量最狂欢的现场。
当大家一起撑着他，尖叫着，一起唱着“In the End”，我看着他张开手臂 “飞” 过来时，我们都感受到了，他们不顾一切地疯狂，享受舞台，享受那份音乐和现场带来的与歌迷之间的强烈共鸣。这份发了疯的投入和沉醉，并不是所有现场都能做到的。而TRC用万分的诚意和情感献给了中国，这就是他们的魅力。
Ins上截的图，帅得有点太过分！
你帅，你任性咯，又顶一头乱发出来，还说自己穷！
这次，我也拍到同款pose+乱发
当然上一秒还是帅的
乱发狂魔，说的就是你。上次在大群里看到小伙伴们分享才知道，David曾骄傲地说过他的头发这么好看是因为从来不用洗发水
鼓手OS:看我发质多优秀！秀发飞扬！这群乱发狂魔逗逼团，连圣诞节都放毒
Gentle drumming哈哈，笑屎我，是的Povel是史上最温柔的鼓手。
帅照压压惊
确认过眼神，你是我的人
去年深圳B10的现场，前排的小伙伴真幸福，又是抱又是搂，又是握手又是摸摸，我在尴尬的第五排，硬是够不上，没有我的份咯，可能图里高举的那个手机就是我的咯。
今年我挤到第一排正中央，又！没！有！我！的！份！就连眼神交流也木有，去年起码用迷蒙的眼神看了我的手机镜头。好吧，逼我明年继续奋斗。
这首深圳之歌可以说我听了几百遍了！
这次唱< In The End >的时候，David 直接跳下来，和歌迷拥抱，十指相扣，各种亲密互动，我就在边边挤过去偷偷摸了摸他的小手臂。。毛毛的。。 David久久地拥抱了几个小哥，还深情对视了许久，实力宠男粉没有谁了！！这张图是我从视频里截出来的，你们找找你们自个儿幸福的脸庞吧。
“You know what ?! Tonight we gonna do whatever you want !!”别激动别激动，知道你对我们是真爱，你宠我们，会如我们所愿，小心你的mic 。这个画面群里的小伙伴也有截成表情包，另外的角度下David小可爱的样子看得清清楚楚。
头发甩起来
手也甩起来！这段鼓，Povel打得荡气回肠，又燥又稳，为他打爆电话！
头发甩得停不下来 Magnus那天一上场第一首就来了个大风车，dope!
Fillip，我一直觉得他就是TRC颜值担当，大家都去追David和弟弟Jonatan,那我要抱走Fillip。那天他每次solo时，灯光都没办法对准他，心疼Fillip小天使1分钟。
盗了群里小伙伴的图，Jonatan是乐队非正式成员, 来巡演已俘获大批迷妹，只有我觉得他这个造型和侧颜像极了小李子吗？
麦田音乐节上，David在ins story 那里发了一条“ You are not allowed to crowd surf in Chinese festivals”的小视频，吐槽在中国保安阻止他跳水，然后下一秒你就亲了保安
又到了晒战利品的时候到了。。
下次我要买到< Goldrushed >去找他们签名
心疼累蔫的David, 那天晚上签售时紧张地对着他们疯言疯语了一大堆，我也不知道我在说什么
TRC今年中国巡演还剩下俩站，9月29的杭州场和9月30的上海场，这两场的同志们在群里等你们的好消息哦，说不定你就是被David “ 相中 ”的那个人。
TRC,
SEE YOU NEXT YEAR!
