心之所向,搖滾2021

(2021-03-12 19:09:59) 下一個

      

最近,來自英國諾丁漢 Doing Nothing樂隊發布了五首歌,這些歌曲如帶有焦慮裝飾的艱難時光再現,吉他充滿喧鬧律動聲”,音樂評論說“Glueland”是其中一首,查了一下歌名“Glueland”,它沒有什麽含義,不含什麽典故,僅僅是造出來的歌名而已,從字麵字組合看,有膠水之地或引伸為迷人之地的意思。的確,我們可以聽到不一樣的吉他彈唱。樂隊名字搖滾味十足,無所事事,要麽有事可做,但不想、不必做,要麽想做點什麽,卻無從下手,或兩者亦而有之。從歌曲“Glueland ”MV視頻中看,主唱拿著麥克風,爬行在用紙盒搭起來的狹窄通道裏,通道又連接著一些狹小空間,其中的景物有些光怪陸離,視頻圖像形成一種意識的物理投射。

歌曲“Glueland”不一定那麽悅耳動聽,且有些躁動音樂製作人Chris Bailey更詳細介紹道:歌曲Glueland是關於那種不可避免的感覺,置身於一種自我頹廢泥濘的環境,如滿身是泥的海象。我們創作的歌曲和藝術,所有的感受都是來自同一個世界。歌曲則在非常鬆弛的氛圍中,錄製下來的。單調乏味的現實生活意味著我們沿著一條、通向並不需要以成敗論英雄的人生舞台,蹣跚前行。不要擔心,我們確信,歌曲並不是有關疫情隔離的,因為沒有人喜歡聽。” 看來,兩種理解似乎都可以,一是心有Glueland,正在為所想而前行,另一個不安於現狀,產生了Glueland想,歌曲最後一段唱的那樣,

“......

            There's a place you can go on

            Like you how you are

            I'm right behind you, man

            Come on down, to Glueland 

"

            有個地方,可以去

            做自己

            朋友,我如影隨行

            沉靜下來, 向著Glueland 

 

 一首歌的時間總是有限的,但好歌曲一定是對生活體驗的一種高度濃縮,或者某種感受的放大。如果歌曲表達越具普遍性,意味著其生命力就也越長,一些傳唱至今的搖滾經典,也許說明了這個道理,比如Bob Seger“Turn the Page(1973)”,以及The Turtle 樂隊的”Happy Together(1967)” 。還有被滾石雜誌所列曆年500首最佳歌曲排名第392名的“Bitter Sweet Symphony “(苦甜交響曲),這歌曲發行於19976月,涉嫌抄襲,直到20194月才終結版權紛爭。搖滾歌手Sari Schorr的那首歌“Ordinary Life”,發布已一年了,現在再聽,感覺和以前有些不一樣了。

今年3月即將發布的新專輯“The Bitter True”(苦澀的真相),值得關注。如歌曲“Wasted on You”,雖然歌曲創作於疫情發生之前,Amy Lee介紹道:我並沒有寫當下所經曆的困難,但某種程度恰巧反映了目前的處境。她的另一首“Use My Voice “, 也非同凡響,2020的一些片段注定留在搖滾女歌手Amy Lee的歌曲裏 。

附錄:Glueland (來自網絡)

I am just dying for a bite to eat

There's something weird going on out there, man

I'm going round in circles like a little baby eel

In a glass of water, all the way to Glueland

There is no devil like a man in the middle

There is no red devil except that man in the middle

If it happens now, there will be no one at the wheel

I know it

She said

"I came all of this way, just to be a sunbather

I was made in the shade, what's with all of this noise?

You cut your pretty blonde hair, man, we were like twins

Swimming around in the oil, I know where I'm going"

I should've seen him going, why did he string me on

If he had his heart set on going all along

Going round in circles like a little baby eel

In a glass of water

She said

"I came all of this way, just to be a sunbather

I was made in the shade, what's with all of this noise?

You cut your pretty blonde hair, man, we were like twins

Swimming around in the oil"

Come on down

Yeah, climb on down

There's a place that you can go

There's a place you can go on

Like you how you are

I'm right behind you, man

Come on down, to Glueland
