湯姆·奧德爾分享了自己從比莉·艾利甚和芬尼亞斯身上學到的教訓

Tom Odell is a British singer-songwriter whose song 'Another Love' has become one of the most-streamed tracks ever. The song is so popular that people in Iran use it on TikTok to express their feelings about the government. Even though Tom Odell is a successful musician, he has had tough moments. In 2016, he performed at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery and felt disappointed with his show. He thought the crowd was small and that he did not do his best. However, in the audience were Finneas O'Connell and his younger sister Billie Eilish, who were just starting their music careers. Finneas said that watching Tom Odell perform inspired him to release music under his own name. This moment was important for both Finneas and Billie Eilish, and it changed their lives. Tom Odell was moved when he found out how much his performance meant to them. He realized that even on days when you feel like you have nothing to offer, you might still make a big difference in someone else's life.

Later, Tom Odell and Finneas performed together in Amsterdam, and Billie Eilish invited Tom to open her European tour. This happened as Tom Odell's career was reaching new heights. He was first discovered by Lily Allen, and his debut album was a huge success because of 'Another Love'. But after that, Tom struggled to reach a wider audience, even though his loyal fans continued to support him. In 2021, he left his record label and became an independent artist. He started writing darker and more personal songs. Thanks to TikTok, his song 'Black Friday' became a global hit, with hundreds of millions of streams. The lyrics of 'Black Friday' are very honest and talk about wanting to be perfect. The song was even used in the TV show 'Heartstopper' during an emotional scene. Tom Odell was surprised by how many people connected with his music. He said that singing those words on stage and hearing the audience sing them back made him feel more connected than ever before.

Tom Odell's live shows have been a highlight of the summer festival season. The success of 'Black Friday' gave him the freedom to record his new album, 'A Wonderful Life', in a famous studio. He worked with his touring band and created songs that feel real and emotional. Tom's voice is full of feeling, and his music is supported by gentle drums and strings. He married Georgie Somerville in 2023, but his new album is still full of questions and uncertainty. Many of the songs ask questions about life and happiness. Tom says that the world feels scary and uncertain, and he wonders if it is okay to feel joy when there is so much suffering. His album does not offer answers but encourages listeners to think. The final song, 'The End Of Suffering', is about finding peace and living in the moment. Tom Odell believes that happiness is not a distant goal but something you can find every day. He learned that letting go of anxiety and enjoying life as it happens is the key to feeling content.
