Simple Plan: Singing Exactly How We Feel

 

Simple Plan consists of five members: Pierre Bouvier -- Lead vocals1, Charles Comeau AKA1 Chuck--Drums, Jeff Stinco--Lead guitar, David Desrosiers--Bass and back vocals, Sebastian Lefebvre AKA Seb -- Guitar and back vocals. These five amazingly good-looking guys come out of good old Montreal Canada!! Jeff, Chuck, Seb, and Pierre all went to the same high school. They eventually formed a band, but they needed a new bassist. So they recruited Dave. Together they formed Simple Plan.

  

When Simple Plan released their 2002 debut2, No Helmets2 No Pads,... Just Balls, the band more than just hit the ground running. Just inside of a year, Simple Plan crossed five continents and played over 300 shows. Along the way, the band picked up a few hundred thousand fans, scored3 a Gold album in home country Canada as well as Japan, and sold out their first ever tour of Japan.

 

Simple Plan's expertly crafted4 tunes3 are predominantly5 penned by Chuck and Pierre, then brought to life by the entire band. Despite the manic6 pop thrills of tracks7 like Worst Day Ever and God Must Hate Me, Simple Plan's songs are marked by a strikingly8 dark9 lyrical core.

  

“After writing most of the record, we realized that we had a bunch of catchy410songs with really emotional lyrics,” Chuck says. “There's lots of people out there who are not really satisfied with what's going on in their lives, and it's the same thing for us. It's so hard to grow up and fit in.”

  

“We know what kids go through, because we've been through that, and we're still going through it, so we know how hard it is.” Pierre agrees. “We want kids to feel like we're talking about them and for them. It's such a good feeling to receive a letter or an e-mail from someone who relates11 to our songs and says ‘you're singing about exactly what I feel.'”

  

That band-to-fan connection is noticeably apparent in the album's introductory single, I'm Just A Kid. With a debut album that's everything they'd hoped it would be, and some experiences they never could have imagined, Simple Plan spent 2003 bringing No Helmets, No Pads, ... Just Balls to the kids both home and abroad.

简单计划乐队:唱出我们的心声

  

简单计划乐队包括5名成员:皮埃尔·布维尔(主唱)、查尔斯·科莫(又名查克,鼓手)、杰夫·斯廷科(主音吉他)、戴维·德罗齐埃(贝斯和和声)、塞巴斯蒂安·勒菲弗(又名塞布,吉他和和声)。这5个英俊的小伙子来自加拿大古老的蒙特利尔市。杰夫、查克、塞布和皮埃尔是高中同学,他们最终成立了乐队,但需要一个新贝斯手。于是他们吸纳了戴维,组成了简单计划乐队。

简单计划乐队推出他们2002年的首张专辑《没有头盔、没有护垫……只有球》时,他们一炮打响。仅仅一年,他们周游了五大洲,演出300多场。沿途乐队吸引了数十万的歌迷,在日本和祖国加拿大获得黄金唱片销量,首次日本演唱会爆满。

  简单计划乐队专家水准的曲调主要由查克和皮埃尔执笔,然后由整个乐队赋予生命。除了像《最糟糕的一天》和《上帝一定恨我》那样的疯狂流行快曲以外,乐队歌曲核心部分的突出特点是低沉圆润而抒情。

  写完大多数歌曲后,我们发现我们创作了一批诚挚感人、给人印象深刻的歌曲,查克说道。世上有许多人不满意他们目前的生活状态,我们也有同样感受。成长和适应的过程是很艰难的。

  我们知道年轻人在经历什么,因为我们曾经历这一切,而且仍然在经历着,因此我们知道这是多么艰难,皮埃尔表同意说。我们想让年轻人感到我们在谈论他们,为他们说话。有人对我们的歌曲产生了共鸣,发信或电子邮件来说你们唱出了我的真切感受。我们听了倍感欣慰。

  这种乐队和歌迷的紧密联系在专辑的开场白单曲《我只是个孩子》中表现得淋漓尽致。这个凭借首张专辑就拥有了所希望的一切并获得了从未想像过的体验的乐队,利用2003年周游世界,将他们的专辑《没有头盔、没有护垫……只有球》献给了同龄人。
