“Oh, love isn’t there to make us happy. I believe it exists to show us how much we can endure.”
― Hermann Hesse
This was the answer given by the Filipino-American singer Songwriter Brad Go when I asked him on how he defines “Love”. I could probably relate to this guy, we got lots of similarities as well. We both are working as a freelance video editor, both do directing stuff, both love music (although different functions), and I can say both are also hopeless romantic! And totally into this thing called “Love“. (ang cheesy!)
Anyway, lets talk about Brad more rather myself. Inspired by his own love story—a story that started like a fairy tale but ended without the “happily ever after”—Brad came up with a crazy idea. He would travel the world, talk to people about love and their love stories, and write songs about them. He started a Kickstarter campaign that raised over $10,000, thus giving him the opportunity to embark on his mission. This guys crazy! hahaha!
The Hush Project by Brad Go
Brad Go went to Barcelona, Tokyo, Melbourne, Singapore, Palermo, Berlin, Manila and Paris, and came back with eight original compositions, namely “All Along,” “I Want You Now,” “It’s You,” “Follow Through,” “Firestarter,” “Feel This Way,” “Love Is Love” and “Time Machine.” The trip is documented in the form of vlogs, which are published on Brad’s YouTube channel, youtube.com/bradgofilm.
The eight songs, with the addition of the bonus track “Carry You Home,” make up The Hush Project. The album is a mix of romantic ballads, torches and mid-tempo jams that are decidedly pop rock in form, mostly structured around guitar-driven melodies and rousing progressions.
If someone will make you a love song, I wonder how would your feel? This special love album is released through MCA Music (Universal Music Philippines).
And maybe your wondering what so significant about rain and umbrella (romantic elements, i know!) The journey began in New York, where Brad met a girl on a rainy Wednesday evening in September, 2012. Offering his umbrella to the rain-soaked stranger, Brad unwittingly set in motion a series of romantic events, both exhilarating and tragic, that would lead to the creation of the blog, Have U Seen Her, and eventually The Hush Project. (HUSH is an acronym for “Have U Seen Her.”).
Interesting album, i know your already curious about it and on how it sounds. Better check out Brad Go’s Album which is already available in the market. For more information, you can visit www.hushproject.tv.
P.S. Brad could probably make this concept for a business, for every couple who is about to be wed, he can offer to create an OST/Theme song about their love story! Not bad! (Let's be business partners now! lol!).
