【聽歌練聽力】A Bad Dream

想到無數正在奮鬥的人們。

這是英國搖滾樂隊Keane 所唱的一首歌，2007年出品。據說這首歌借鑒了愛爾蘭詩人Yeats所寫的描寫第一次世界大戰一首詩，詩開頭的幾句是：

I know that I shall meet my fate
Somewhere among the clouds above;
Those that I fight I do not hate
Those that I guard I do not love;

Yeats為什麽會這樣寫？因為戰爭初期愛爾蘭還屬於英國，所以愛爾蘭士兵要為英國打仗去。後來愛爾蘭獨立並成立國家，北方的幾個郡仍留在英國，形成“北愛爾蘭”，因此英國的全稱為United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland。下麵歌詞裏的那句：And you that I defend, I do not love  也有它自己的意義吧。

Why do I have to fly
Over every (       ) up and down the line?
I'll (       ) in the clouds above
And you that I defend, I do not love

I wake up, it's a bad dream
No one on my side
I was fighting
But I just feel too tired to be fighting
Guess I'm not the fighting (      )

Where will I meet my (      )?
Baby I'm a man, I was born to fight
And when will I meet my (      )?
In a better time you could be my friend

I wake up, it's a bad dream
No one on my side
I was fighting
But I just feel too tired to be fighting
Guess I'm not the fighting (     )
Wouldn't mind it
If you were by my side
But you're long gone
Yeah you're long gone now
Yeah

Where do we go?
I don't even know
My strange old face
And I'm thinking about those days
And I'm thinking about those days

I wake up, it's a bad dream
No one on my side
I was fighting
But I just feel too tired to be fighting
Guess I'm not the fighting (       )
Wouldn't mind it
If you were by my side
But you're long gone
Yeah you're long gone now
Yeah

• 我問過幾次rock與pop在作曲,配器有什麽不同,都沒得到明確答案,二者確實很難分辨,隻好憑感覺去判斷 -移花接木- ♂ (0 bytes) () 09/01/2021 postreply 13:56:25

• 這首歌雖然比較輕柔,但我的確感受到了搖滾的因素, rock不一定比pop更重,更快. -移花接木- ♂ (0 bytes) () 09/01/2021 postreply 13:58:32

• 我也不太懂，隻見到有一處說他這屬於“soft rock". 到底搖滾音樂的定義是什麽，還要請教。 -前川- ♀ (0 bytes) () 09/01/2021 postreply 14:25:17
