心之所向,摇滚2021

(2021-03-12 19:09:59) 下一个

      

最近,来自英国诺丁汉 Doing Nothing乐队发布了五首歌,这些歌曲如带有焦虑装饰的艰难时光再现,吉他充满喧闹律动声”,音乐评论说“Glueland”是其中一首,查了一下歌名“Glueland”,它没有什么含义,不含什么典故,仅仅是造出来的歌名而已,从字面字组合看,有胶水之地或引伸为迷人之地的意思。的确,我们可以听到不一样的吉他弹唱。乐队名字摇滚味十足,无所事事,要么有事可做,但不想、不必做,要么想做点什么,却无从下手,或两者亦而有之。从歌曲“Glueland ”MV视频中看,主唱拿着麦克风,爬行在用纸盒搭起来的狭窄通道里,通道又连接着一些狭小空间,其中的景物有些光怪陆离,视频图像形成一种意识的物理投射。

歌曲“Glueland”不一定那么悦耳动听,且有些躁动音乐制作人Chris Bailey更详细介绍道:歌曲Glueland是关于那种不可避免的感觉,置身于一种自我颓废泥泞的环境,如满身是泥的海象。我们创作的歌曲和艺术,所有的感受都是来自同一个世界。歌曲则在非常松弛的氛围中,录制下来的。单调乏味的现实生活意味着我们沿着一条、通向并不需要以成败论英雄的人生舞台,蹒跚前行。不要担心,我们确信,歌曲并不是有关疫情隔离的,因为没有人喜欢听。” 看来,两种理解似乎都可以,一是心有Glueland,正在为所想而前行,另一个不安于现状,产生了Glueland想,歌曲最后一段唱的那样,

“......

            There's a place you can go on

            Like you how you are

            I'm right behind you, man

            Come on down, to Glueland 

"

            有个地方,可以去

            做自己

            朋友,我如影随行

            沉静下来, 向着Glueland 

 

 一首歌的时间总是有限的,但好歌曲一定是对生活体验的一种高度浓缩,或者某种感受的放大。如果歌曲表达越具普遍性,意味着其生命力就也越长,一些传唱至今的摇滚经典,也许说明了这个道理,比如Bob Seger“Turn the Page(1973)”,以及The Turtle 乐队的”Happy Together(1967)” 。还有被滚石杂志所列历年500首最佳歌曲排名第392名的“Bitter Sweet Symphony “(苦甜交响曲),这歌曲发行于19976月,涉嫌抄袭,直到20194月才终结版权纷争。摇滚歌手Sari Schorr的那首歌“Ordinary Life”,发布已一年了,现在再听,感觉和以前有些不一样了。

今年3月即将发布的新专辑“The Bitter True”(苦涩的真相),值得关注。如歌曲“Wasted on You”,虽然歌曲创作于疫情发生之前,Amy Lee介绍道:我并没有写当下所经历的困难,但某种程度恰巧反映了目前的处境。她的另一首“Use My Voice “, 也非同凡响,2020的一些片段注定留在摇滚女歌手Amy Lee的歌曲里 。

附录:Glueland (来自网络)

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
