Dark Model – Broken Arrows

Dark Model 2014

This is the next preview from Dark Model’s first album which will be released on May 16th, 2014. This track begins with a dark piano intro and builds dramatically with a full orchestral arrangement and massive electronic beats.

By the way, this may be different from what you would expect from the title, but this track was not inspired by the famous movie “Broken Arrow.” Not limited to the feudal era in Japan or the Middle Ages in Europe, there has been many parables and anecdotes where “arrows” come up as symbols of human bonds and wills such as loyalty, trust, creed, or even fighting spirit. Those symbolic connotations inspired me. Having said that, what I wanted to incorporate into this music was, “Your (fighting) spirit never dies even if your arrows are broken.” That is opposite to most of the contexts where broken arrows are figuratively used.

For details of Dark Model’s first album, please refer to the album page.

This track has been licensed and featured in some media projects such as Mr. X Inc’s 2016 trailer. (article)

「言語化ブーム」への違和感は以前も書いたけれど、それよりも「聞く力」や「質問する力」が後回しになることが問題だ。会話であれ、メールであれ、相手の意図を汲み取る前に「どう言語化するか」に走るのは、車輪がないのにエンジンだけ吹かしているようなもの。自己主張の国の米国ですら、最近は「アクティブ・リスニング」が注目されている。仕事の本質は、結局のところ「聞くこと」。自戒を込めて、まずは相手の言うことをしっかり聞き、確認し、理解したい。

先日、豚を愛でるチャーチルの言葉を紹介したが、対照的にバーナード・ショーは「豚とレスリングをするな。泥まみれになるし、豚はそれを喜ぶからだ」と遺した。豚には大層失礼な話だ。要は「君子危うきに近寄らず」なのだが、SNS全盛の昨今、「反応しない=同じ土俵に乗らずにスルーを貫く」のはさぞ難しいのだろう。ただ、自己顕示欲や承認欲求におぼれる人間とは違って、豚は純粋に泥を楽しんでいるだけだ。やっぱりショーの言葉は豚に失礼だと思う。

Merriam-Webster辞典の「Word of the Day」を聴き始めて3、4年。難易度は高く、パッと分かるのは半分くらいで、数日全滅することもある。昨日の「jejune(幼稚な)」も初耳だったが、米国の認知度はわずか5〜10%。「アンチ・ボキャブラリー」が基本のアメリカでこれを使うと「気取っている」と思われる可能性があるが、英国人がこういう高尚な表現を使うのを聞くと「さすが、知的でクール」と崇められる。何やねんそれ(笑)。
