Eason又发新专辑了--《不想放手》,听到其中一首然后怎样,实在太陈奕迅了。

http://music.sina.com.cn/yueku/m/974752.html

完成了所谓的理想
放纵了情绪的泛滥
汗都流干 天都微亮 然后怎样
拥有了旅行的空档
却遗失流浪的背囊
沿着轨道 一直流浪 然后怎样
假期过完 有什么打算
走过一个天堂 少一个方向
谁在摧我成长 让我失去迷途的胆量
我怕谁失望 我为谁而忙
我最初只贪玩 为何变负担
为何我的问题 总得等待别人的答案
我的快乐时代唱烂
才领悟代价多高昂
不能满足 不敢停站 然后怎样

从此后,人海更加茫茫...没有人知道我们曾擦肩...

June 11, 2008


1945年5月31日,法斯宾德出生于巴伐利亚,父亲是个医生,母亲是个兼职翻译。法斯宾德出生的年代,正是德国最穷困混乱的时期,家里挤满了破落的亲戚朋友。法斯宾德从小就缺乏父母之爱,一方面小法斯宾德更加孤独内向,另一方面他也学会了虚伪的讨好和乖巧。法斯宾德的家,也是父亲的诊所,坐落在一条通向慕尼黑市中心风化区的街道旁,风化区的妓女们经常到这个诊所做政府的例行体检,小法斯宾德从小就生活在以性为生意的氛围内。五岁的时候,父母离异,小法斯宾德由母亲抚养。

  自私的母亲,一直是法斯宾德的作品中常见的形象,可能就是源于这段两人生活的折磨记忆。法斯宾德八岁的时候,他的母亲就和一个19岁的少年成了情人,而这个19岁的情人觉得自己应该以父亲的身份对法斯宾德尽责,小法斯宾德的苦恼可想而知。

--------------------------------

他是个疯子,从1965年首次接触电影一直到1982年去世,他一共拍摄了43部电影电视作品,并编导演出了27部舞台剧,这一切只用了十七年。
  
    他是个狂人,他藐视自然规则,认为自己拥有神的力量,他曾经说过:“要是原子弹大战爆发的话,人们将会紧紧地跟随在我身边,因为即使有炸弹掉下来,它也无法摧毁我,我拥有比炸弹更强大的力量。”
  
    他是个虐待狂,他肆意侮辱着自己的爱人和朋友,艾玛•赫曼、英格丽•卡文、阿敏、冈瑟•考夫曼这些他曾经的爱人都常常是他辱骂发泄的对象,有些更是常常拳脚相加。而一起的工作人员也多很惧怕这个歇斯底里的家伙。
  
    他也是个受虐狂,他每天只有两三个小时的睡眠,他的烟不离手,他每天喝两瓶威士忌,他吸食大量毒品,并一直服用安眠药。他认为这是对其顽强意志力的自我磨练,、。
  
    他就是云纳•莱纳•法斯宾德(RainerWernerFassbinder)。
  
    1982年6月10日凌晨三点半,当他的剪辑师朱莉安•劳伦兹回到他们的寓所,却发现没有听到法斯宾德惯有的鼾声,闯进房中,发现他早已气绝。那年,法斯宾德刚满37岁
  
    这位“德国电影的神童”、德国新电影运动四杰之一的著名导演就这么离开了这个他即爱又恨的世界。他的一生,好像烟花一样,短暂却又华丽纷呈。

第一次听到这个歌是在高中的时候,Nouvelle Vague 的翻唱版本,Nouvelle Vague 的作品非常的摇曳生姿。
映像特别的深刻,应该是Studio的版本,混音有海水波浪的声音,还有摇摆的旋律 很美。

Nouvelle Vague:新浪潮。
流行音乐上的“新浪潮”之意并非戈达尔的同名电影那样晦涩艰深,一旦被后人重新诠释,它更容易丢掉黑色的外衣。
事实上,现在欧洲至少有两个音乐系列叫做“Nouvelle Vague”。

德国人说:“Nouvelle Vague”在英语里叫做“new wave”,但我们不会复兴80年代的糟糕发型,摇滚乐已麻木苍白,电子乐是新的抚慰。。。”行了,到此为止,你知道德国人要乾什么了

法国人也说“Nouvelle Vague”在英语里叫做“new wave”,但他们补充了一句:“Nouvelle Vague”在葡萄牙语里叫做“Bossa Nova”。

Nouvelle Vague - Love will tear us apart (LIVE)

这段"Bossa Nova"味道十足的Love will Tear Us Apart 让人有种静静的听着 然后安静的吃下午茶 看看夕阳的影子 几个朋友随便的聊天的感觉。
上面这段视屏里面的是Live版的 比较而言 Studio版的音质更专业一点 但是没有这个版本这么自然。想起小艾说的那句“想起来觉得温暖的朋友”,恩 就是这种几个朋友之间 絮絮然几句 "love is not a easy thing."

上一张唱片封面:


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

下面看下原版的
Joy Division - Love will tear us apart

"Love Will Tear Us Apart" is a song by the British post-punk band Joy Division. The lyrics were written by the band's vocalist, Ian Curtis, who committed suicide a month after the song was released as a single in April 1980.

这个版本的就是很典型的早期Punk乐队的风格,N多人人比较偏爱这个原始版本的,主要是这个原始版本背后有很多的故事。大大增加了乐曲本省的可读性:

 有关Ian Curtis: 1978年底,加盟Factory唱片公司后的曼彻斯特乐队Joy Division来到伦敦发展。Ian Curtis刚到伦敦时他的癫痫病就开始发作,因此Joy Division的音乐从一开始就带点病态色彩
虽说乐队的发展之路颇为顺利,但Ian Curtis与生俱来的悲剧宿命正是以成功为起点,将一连串痛苦的脚印铺向毁灭的终结。 Ian和妻子Deborah相识于1972年,婚后于1979年生下第一个女儿Natalie。此后,Ian的性格变得越发孤僻,甚至有点难以理喻,他不准妻子去看他的演出,甚至规定乐队成员的妻子或女友都不准去看乐队的演出。伴随着日益加重的癫痫病症,他的自毁倾向也开始出现。 1979年底,Joy Division欧洲巡演时Ian在布鲁塞尔结识了一位名叫Annik Honori的女孩,两人开始交往。乐队巡演结束后,Ian将Annik带回了伦敦,他与妻子Deborah的关系出现了裂痕。在1980年3月,Ian离家与Annik同居。但是,与其说Ian选择了爱,不如说他为自己的精神套上了沉重的枷锁,从此他更感到生活是如此的糟糕,生命是如此的可悲。 他开始寻求永远的解脱。1980年4月7日,Ian回到曼彻斯特家中,写了封遗书后吞下了大量安眠药自杀,随即被妻子Deborah发现,送医院抢救后保住了性命。 随后乐队又开始了一连串繁忙的演出。那时Ian总是穿着雨衣在台上演唱,表演时经常伴着癫痫病的发作跳出一种奇怪的舞步,台下观众不知情,纷纷开始模仿他奇怪的举止,一时间,穿雨衣跳怪舞竟风靡英伦各地。 那段时期,Joy Division的名声越来越大,但Ian的健康状况也越来越糟,癫痫发作的次数越来越频繁,每次倒下后队员们总是担心他再也醒不过来。1980年4月,Deborah提出和Ian离婚。此后,Ian的性格变得更加怪异无常,时而兴高采烈、神采飞扬,时而阴沉沮丧,沉默寡言。
 1980年5月17日,Ian在家看一部描述德国音乐家去美国发展,最后因为与当地人格格不入而自杀身亡的故事片《Stroscek》。当晚,他不停地播放着Iggy Pop的 The idol。5月18日,Ian写了一封给Deborah的遗书后在厨房上吊自尽。终年23岁。 “Don’t Walk Away, In Silence. Don’t Walk Away.” Ian 如是说。

-------------------------------------------------------------
附上歌词:

When the routine bites hard and ambitions are low
And the resentment rides high but emotions won't grow
And we're changing our ways, taking different roads
Then love, love will tear us apart again

Why is the bedroom so cold
Turned away on your side?
Is my timing that flawed,
our respect run so dry?
Yet there's still this appeal
That we've kept through our lives
Love, love will tear us apart again

Do you cry out in your sleep
All my failings exposed
Get a taste in my mouth
As desperation takes hold
Is it something so good
Just can't function no more?
When love, love will tear us apart again

不同乐队翻唱的版本有二十多个:new order、Swans、the Cure,etc....

可以去Youtube上搜搜(貌似YoutubeBlogSpot都被GFW解封了,刚才没用代理上WIKI也成功了,放鞭炮

如果搜索到更好的版本也可以来分享哦:)
有时间可以整理下。

Szars      You are a drug to me 
I never ever thought it otherwise 
And I love the lies you've told to me 
While looking me directly in my eyes 

This is not ecstasy, but it's better than cocaine
and you know that I will miss you when you're gone 
but I'm not equipped to play this game 

You know your words 
They don't mean anything to me 
They only serve to fatten up the prey 
And when it's time to take them to the slaughterhouse 
you slice their throats, continue on your way

This is not jeopardy 
and it's not your high school prom 
and you know that I will miss you when you're gone 
But I'm not equipped to be your mom 

You are a drug to me 
I never ever thought it otherwise 
And I love the lies you've told to me 
while looking me directly in my eyes


 


 

被Grant低沉的叹息样的声音吸引住了 很贵族的感觉。

有落泊了的消沉 又有点看惯风月的不屑感觉。 这个Drug里面开始的反复的扫弦就感觉很微妙。

像某日我们坐在大平台讲话,讲很多话,无关风与月。就说这晚上的风,说夏天的月,说大平台滑着滑板的男生和一对对陌路走国的青年们。一杯果味啤酒,酒精浓度低到小数点一位。  用勺子划开管妈妈送来的西瓜,坐在伟大祖国的旗杆下,风尘仆仆的吃西瓜。我说,这咸咸的西瓜还真是奇特的味道。把天杀的 Delta坐在屁股下面,陶子还是低低的眉,还是不够聪明。我觉得特别无奈,好吧,这个你的事儿。大一的小DD特别乖巧,真是太口耐了。。又是一个被苏小沫压迫的劳苦人民诞生了。

我说这个红黄蓝的搭配是有点鬼,要是白天效果估计就没有了。


回到The Czars,开始以为是个英国的乐队,那种有礼貌的怠慢,压抑的释放感。是因为生活的太自我了么,世界里只有过去的片段,不能去忘掉,这种无法释怀的情节 就变成了一种反复的咏叹的旋律,真如中了毒一样。慢慢的吞噬生命,根本没有办法逃脱。所有的生命和时间就在这种浅浅的吟唱里等待,然后头微微一抬,发现伊就在远处的黑暗里哭泣,问一句:你也在这里?回家吧。伊就用细碎的步子和我回家了,失散多年,迷路多年


 

附:乐队介绍

A short history of The Czars :

The Czars started in May 1994 when vocalist John Grant and bassist Chris Pearson had a chance meeting at Rock Island, a club in Denver’s lower downtown warehouse district. It took over a year to pull a complete band together and play their first show. The early years were slow, but recording began with local music icon Bob Ferbrache in 1995, who produced the first two albums. Contrary to press releases, the band actually self-released two albums, “Moodswing” and “La Brea Tar Pits of Routine” on their own label, Velveteen Records in 1995 and 1997, the later was sent to Cocteau Twins' Bella Union in London. Bella Union initially balked, but a follow-up five-song demo was quickly recorded and sent to Cocteau’s Simon Raymonde. He offered the band a four album deal soon after. The Czars would be the first American band to sign with London's Bella Union. A string of local opening gigs followed with opening slots for Low, the Dirty Three, and Ween (! ? !).

Recording on “Before...but longer” was initiated at London’s September Sound studio in September ’98, and Raymonde finished production on the album in December, but shelved the album because he was hoping to procure an American record deal. Then after playing SXSW in '99 and '00 then waiting for an American label to jump on the proverbial bandwagon, the album would languish for almost two years before finally being released in Europe in May 2000 without that elusive American deal. Chris Blackwell's Palm Pictures stepped up to the plate sending a representative to see the band play at the Bluebird Theater in May ’99, but they passed on the Czars and ended up signing the more-hyped bands Supreme Beings of Leisure and Cousteau instead. They made the right choice there. Czars members wanted to quit but couldn’t because of a little thing known as “potential”.

By the end of ‘99 The Czars were named Best Rock Band by Westword (a local Denver music magazine), which immediately catapulted them into more promises of fame and fortune, but they continue in obscurity and innuendo. Best “Rock” Band had a nice ring to it, but it wasn’t their bailiwick. The band would have preferred Best Non-Rock Band, but all publicity is good publicty for record sales. Gotta keep that momentum going!

The following year the band was approached to compose the soundtrack for an independent film, “I’d Rather Be … Gone.” Although it never saw the light of day outside of the Gay and Lesbian film festival in San Francisco, the soundtrack mini EP was released by Toronto's Absalom Recordings that November. Self-produced by the band in Denver with Colin Bricker at NFA studios, unfortunatley Bella Union “was quite disappointed (and) the sounds of things were very 'flat' and a bit uninspired,” but Splendid e-zine called it a “darkly beautiful ambience.” We tended to agree with Splendid. The mini-CD remains a fan favorite today and is the number one seller off the band web-site.

Next up was the second Bella Uion album “The Ugly People vs. The Beautiful People.” Recorded in Denver over a month in early 2001, it was released in October with cover art featuring asses and tattoos. After 23 takes at “Black and Blue” the band nearly killed each other, but the recording was finished and accolades poured in, winning the 2002 album of the year in Westword (again!) and receiving critical praise from Mojo, Q, and NME. That elusive American label would finally sign the band (thanks Manifesto Records!), agreeing to a licensing deal for one album with a label option for a second. What happened? The payola was direct-deposited from one label to another. Money and record sales pour in and Bella Union signs a whopping 36 bands, including a Jewish rapper from Nova Scotia. Not bad for a label with only 5 people on the staff. Times were good!

The Czars toured Europe opening for David Gray (?), 16 Horsepower, and The Flaming Lips. Europeans came out in droves to see the band. Three small US tours followed. Americans drove by marquis but didn’t see the band, probably getting them mixed up with the metal band “Czar”, Detroit's "The Sounds of the Czars", or the Hollywood Records pop-tarts “Tsars”. Not to be deterred, the band recorded and self-produced the tour EP “X Would Rather Listen to Y Than Suffer Through a C of Z’s”, a reference to John’s linguistics book on Russian sentence structure.

By late 2003 the band was itching to begin work on a new album, but Bella Union wouldn’t or couldn’t pay for studio time. Months and e-mails passed. The band's proposals were too high, but a counter offer was never made. Stalled and frustrated and, with time and energy running out, the band resorted to begging for donations and loans from its fans to complete the follow-up album, "Goodbye.” Work was completed in June 2004, and “Goodbye” was released to much acclaim (again!) last September. Picked as the 38th on the Top 50 albums of the year by Mojo, it beat out such luminaries as The Shins, Morrissey, and Bjork. Not bad for a bunch of hacks that work day jobs and self-produce their own albums. The band took loans out and second mortgages to get the album produced. This couldn’t or shouldn’t happen. We were just a bug on the windshield of Morrissey’s Jaguar. The album sold well and the band would receive their first royalty check (0!). Not a fortune, but it was enough to pay off some back debt and buy a drink or two.

Little would it last. In 2004, the core of the band would dissolve away over the course of the ultimately prophetic last album entitled “Goodbye”. Over the span of nine months would see the departure of five out of six members, including original founding members Jeff and Chris (after 10 years), plus long-time guitarists Andy and Roger, as well as violinist Elin Palmer. Apparently “potential” had an expiration date. A "quasi" band still exists under the name "The Czars", but it is a shell of its former self. For a fan's view on the break-up, visit:

很喜欢Neil Young的声音,民谣的通透感很不错~
声线很明朗。
而这首Painter则是Neil Young不幸身患脑病,在纽约作完脑外科手术痊愈之后,于05年9月再次发行唱片《Prairie Wind》中的曲子。

NEIL YOUNG

"The Painter"

The painter stood
Before her work
She looked around every where
She saw the pictures and she painted them
She picked the colors from the air

Green to green
Red to red
Yellow to yellow
In the light
Black to black
When the evening comes
Blue to blue
In the night

It's a long road
Behind me
It's a long road
Ahead

If you follow every dream
You might get lost
If you follow every dream
You might
Get
Lost.

She towed the line
She held her end up
She did the work of too many
But in the end
She fell down
Before she got up again

I keep my friends eternally
We leave our tracks in the sound
Some of them are with me now
Some of them can't be found

It's a long road behind me
And I miss you now

If you follow every dream
You might get lost
If you follow every dream
You might
Get
Lost.
