第一次知道Sting是从一场音乐会的录像上,清楚地记得那是一场为爱滋病募捐的演出,演出中他与Phil Collins合作唱出了那首脍炙人口的Every Breath You Take。当时就被他那高亢的嗓音,娴熟的吉他技巧所震撼,从那之后的二十多年里,俺一直都是他忠实的粉丝。 在Fragile这首歌的录像里,Sting不修边幅地挽着的袖口、赤足如地,一改从前的高亢,仅以一把吉他伴与轻声的吟唱,小心如害怕要打碎一只贵重的水晶杯。歌者那沙哑的嗓音传染给听众以凄凉;清澈至极的琴声令人觉着、歌者拨动的似乎并非琴弦,而是再经不起任何创伤般脆弱的玻璃丝,顺着歌者那蠕动的指尖,散发出的是一种无奈与哀愁。从始至终歌唱和伴奏浑然一体,让人搞不清究竟是吉他伴歌还是歌伴吉他。
Fragile
If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one Drying in the colour of the evening sun Tomorrow\'s rain will wash the stains away But something in our minds will always stay Perhaps this final act was meant To clinch a lifetime\'s argument That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could For all those born beneath an angry star Lest we forget how fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall Like tears from a star like tears from a star On and on the rain will say How fragile we are how fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall Like tears from a star like tears from a star On and on the rain will say How fragile we are how fragile we are How fragile we are how fragile we are
