光頭Moby是電子音樂界的鬼才,一個孤獨叛逆的素食主義者。他的作品融合了各種不同類型的音樂,卻又能將旋律詮釋得非常完美。這首Temptation是由New Order在1982年的經典同名作品改編而來,在女歌手LauraBrown的演繹下,成為一手柔美神傷的Ballad.
夜,無眠,些許暈眩的大腦中,突然一個濕潤的聲音盤繞上升。
旋開台燈,忍不住誘惑,將Moby的Temptation拖入播放列表,Laura Dawn的聲音帶著滿地性感與滄桑,在黑夜中流淌而出。
上一次聽Temptation,已是一年以前。太傷感的歌曲,有點不敢觸碰;但太美了,這首電子樂奇才Moby最得意的作品,太美了。
光頭的Moby,在叛逆與冷漠的表麵下,用深藏的柔情,輕觸出這首歌的texture:如心跳般的的節奏鼓點,優雅遊走的電子吉他;弦樂鋪陳繁複而溫暖;電子琴合音閃爍而執著。
Laura Dawn的聲音,讓冰冷的電子樂也如此溫暖。
腦中盤旋的弦樂,徐徐氤氳出這樣一頁薄薄的影像:倦怠的女人,層層緊裹的風衣,空空如也的包,嘴角暈開的鮮豔口紅,灰色的馬路邊,黃色的路燈,巷口,心底奄奄一息的溫存。前方,仿佛遙遠的天堂。
曾經有一位采訪Moby的記者說,Moby平時表現出的叛逆與冷酷,也許正悄悄泄露了他心底對柔情的渴望。這首歌,可以為證。
Temptation是搖滾樂隊New Order的原作,但Moby的編輯,實在是將Temptation詮釋成了另一種性別。
歌詞:
Heaven
A gateway to hope
Just like a feeling
I need, it's no joke
And though it hurts me
To see you this way
Betrayed by words
I'd never heard
Too hard to say them
Up, down, turn around; please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I'll walk alone; find my soul as I go home [2x]
Oh it's the last time, it's the last time
Oh it's the last time, it's the last time
Each way I turn
I know I'll always try
To break the circle
That has been placed round me
From time to time
I find I lost
Some meaning
That was urgent
To myself
I do believe
Oh, up, down, turn around; please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I'll walk alone; find my soul as I go home [2x]
Oh it's the last time, it's the last time
Oh it's the last time, it's the last time
And I've never met anyone quite like you before
And I've never met anyone quite like you before [2x]
And I've never met anyone quite like you before
Oh, up, down, turn around; please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I'll walk alone; find my soul as I go home
And I've never met anyone quite like you before
Up, down, turn around; please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I'll walk alone; find my soul as I go home
Up, down, turn around; please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I'll walk alone; find my soul as I go home [2x]
