阅读本文前,先点开音乐播放键 「I went into rock & roll because I wanted to get laid - 我选择摇滚,是因为我想睡姑娘」 ——Roger Waters - Pink Floyd贝斯手 多数人不敢说自己会唱歌,就怕唱出来被别人嘲笑。 但也有人,声音并非天籁,却敢组乐队。 这支乐队叫Pink Floyd,他们的主唱嗓音虚弱,难称有特点,比起那些让人开口跪的乐队诸如Queen、U2等,完全处于下风。 然而Pink Floyd的江湖地位却比后者高出不少。虽没有完美的嗓音,他们有自己的音乐。 首先,歌词满是对时间等问题的思考,颇具哲学趣味;其次,大胆使用各种效果音,甚至曾让一只狗随着音乐节奏吠叫;还有,他们在制作过程中,大量使用合声。 歌词与效果音让他们的音乐有了更多表达,同时,合声与效果音相辅相成,也让他们开创了一种新的音乐风格。 今天的「Time」,很能体现他们的特点。 「Time」来自Pink Floyd在1973年推出的「The Dark Side of the Moon」,是他们最成功一张专辑。 老实说,第一次听「Time」,会被它漫长且充满各种奇怪声效的前奏,搞得有些不耐烦。直到前奏结束,才开始对这首歌有些感觉。 但是,只有听过第一遍之后再听一遍,才能领会前奏的作用绝不仅是标新立异,而是这首歌的一种表达方式。 一首歌值得听第二遍的不多,听的次数越多越喜欢的更是凤毛麟角,这首「Time」就是其中之一。 Time Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day. You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way. Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town. Waiting for someone or something to show you the way. Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain. You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today. And then one day you find ten years have got behind you. No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun. So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking. Racing around to come up behind you again. The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older, Shorter of breath and one day closer to death. Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time. Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines. Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way. The time is gone, the song is over, Thought I'd something more to say. I like to be here, but I can't. When I come home already tired. Scroll to warm my body beside the fire. |编辑:宋书欣 |排版:王健羽 |
