In my view, the reason why great bands come out of the UK is because they're supported in the way that there are cracks in the system that allow them to exist in there while they're developing and becoming undeniable, you know, becoming live entities or songwriters or having experiences that make them outside of the normal.

在我看來，英國之所以能產出很棒的樂團，是因為他們獲得了支持，體系中有一些縫隙讓他們在發展、變得無可否認的過程中得以存在，你知道的，成為現場演出者、創作者，或是獲得讓他們脫離常規的經驗。

動名詞

So when did the Darkness get a record deal and when did record deals stop happening for rock bands?

那麼，The Darkness 是什麼時候拿到唱片合約的？唱片合約又是什麼時候停止出現在搖滾樂團身上的？

Oh, that's such a good question, actually.

給我一些關於音樂產業的歷史，就從九零年代中期開始吧。

Of the progression of the music industry, let's say from the mid-90s on.

I might be wrong, and I'll probably get some of the dates wrong too.

我可能錯了，日期也可能會記錯。

In the mid to late 90s, every band in the country wanted to get a record deal and would see that as having made it.

九零年代中期到後期，全國的每個樂團都想拿到唱片合約，並認為這就是成功了。

You know, obviously the ones that did achieve that sort of signed status realized that that's actually when the work starts.

你知道，很明顯那些達成那種簽約狀態的人，才發現那才是真正工作的開始。

Yeah, but it was always the goal, you know, it's like, oh, joking.

對，但那一直是目標，你知道，就像，喔，開玩笑。

要嘛是獨立樂團，不然就是已簽約的樂團。

We were a local band up until 2003, I want to say.

我記得我們是獨立樂團直到 2003 年。

And that's when our first record came out.

那時候我們的第一張專輯就發行了。

I'd done some music for adverts that paid for that first record.

我做了一些廣告音樂，才付得起第一張專輯的錢。

We didn't have any sort of A and R interference.

我們沒有任何企劃製作的干涉。

Yeah, it was unsullied by the hands and ears of.

對啊，完全沒有受到任何人的插手。

In fact, we even had the track listing like we knew, because it was.

事實上，曲目列表也是我們自己決定的，因為那是。

We went to south by Southwest a couple of times, and

the kind of interest that we were getting was from American Atlantic Records.

引起我們關注的是美國的 Atlantic Records。

They liked us, which sort of bled into some more serious interest from the uk.

他們喜歡我們，這也引發了英國方面更認真的關注。

East west was the equivalent at the time.

當時 East West 也是類似的唱片公司。

And I think when we started releasing our own singles and it was sort of gathering traction, we had really great support slots with bands like Wild Hearts and Def Leppard, the Stones and stuff like that.

我覺得當我們開始發行自己的單曲並獲得關注時，我們獲得了 Wild Hearts、Def Leppard、The Stones 等樂團很棒的支持演出機會。

We were doing bigger and bigger stuff as a live band.

作為一個現場表演樂團，我們做的規模越來越大。

I think at that point Sony and some Warners subsidiary labels were aware that we were going to happen.

我覺得那時候 Sony 和一些 Warners 的子公司唱片公司都知道我們會成功。

We knew that we were going to have a hit.

我們知道我們會有一首熱門單曲。

A part of my thing was like, well, we're going to have a hit.

我的一部分想法是，嗯，我們肯定會有一首熱門單曲。

It's a hit record that we're working here, and it's obvious we can all see it.

這是一張熱門專輯，我們都在努力，而且很明顯我們都看得到。

Could you have had the hit without being signed?

如果沒有簽約，你們能有熱門單曲嗎？

They signed us just before I Believe in A Thing Called Love.

在我寫出 I Believe in A Thing Called Love 之前，他們就簽下我們了。

That was like, oh, fuck, someone better sign us.

那時候就想，哇，拜託有人快點簽我們。

And the money was going up exponentially every time they talked to us.

每次跟我們談，價碼就呈指數級地上漲。

And it was Sony and Warners that were in competition.

But I think the reason why we went for Warners is because Sony said to us, and

但我覺得我們選 Warners 的原因是，Sony 跟我們說，而且說實話，他們也很誠實。

他說，太棒了，你們的唱片會大賣。

He said, great, you're going to sell a lot of records.

If you don't sell many records, we're going to have a bit of a fallout.

如果你們的專輯賣得不好，我們就會有點不愉快了。

Don't you want to sort of ride it out with us and be in partnership for these lean years that you're anticipating, or.

你不想跟我們一起共度這段預期中艱難的時期，一起合作嗎？

Most of the people watching this, if they're.

這裡大部分正在看的人，如果他們。

這首歌在 Spotify 上有 4 億次播放。

And what was going on with the song when you actually signed your record deal?

那時候你們簽唱片合約時，這首歌的狀況怎麼樣？

I think that version of it, we'd recorded that in 2001.

我記得我們在 2001 年錄了那個版本。

And it went to number 180 in the charts in the UK.

然後它在英國的排行榜上衝到了第 180 名。

But it got spot played by Joe Wiley on Radio 1.

但它在 Radio 1 被 Joe Wiley 點播了。

And I think Dave Grohl was in the studio with her when they played it and was.

我記得 Dave Grohl 在錄音室跟她一起聽歌，而且他當時在。

跟我們解釋一下 Radio 1 是什麼。
