Eh-eh-o eh-o [4x]

I was left to my own devices
Many days fell away with nothing to show

And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Grey clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above

But if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

We were caught up and lost in all of our vices
In your pose as the dust settled around us

And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Grey clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above

But if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
If you close your eyes

Eh-eh-o eh-o [4x]

Oh where do we begin?
The rubble or our sins?
Oh where do we begin?
The rubble or our sins?

And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Grey clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above

But if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

If you close your eyes, does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?

Eh-eh-o eh-o [4x]

 

這首歌從今年三月發表後受到廣泛注意，在另類歌曲排行第一有一段時間了。歌詞有點無厘頭（比如說什麽“從何說起，是倒塌的城牆還是我們的罪惡？”，問題是火山爆發不是因為你建了城市有了罪惡，而是自然界決定的，和人們有罪沒罪毫無關係），可是曲調旋律裏有什麽東西在抓住人的耳力和聽覺。也許，是那種排山倒海而來的無可奈何的 感覺吧。也許，當多年前維蘇威火山爆發時，龐貝城居民無路可逃隻好坐以待斃的心情就是這樣？

回複 '蘇鄉門地' 的評論 : 蘇鄉MM好！歌曲是“另類搖滾”電台(Alt Nation)聽到的，曲子放完後，發現曲調還在腦海中回旋，所以以博客存錄一下。嗬嗬

謝謝介紹，歌的確足夠另類??? 傳遞的大概就是種無奈的心境，恐幻，詭異，絕境。。。

過來問個好並祝周末愉快！
