大悲咒
2007-10-16
这么多年听来听去还是齐豫。
听到她的大悲咒,开头只觉得电子的气息太重,可她一开腔,我的眼泪就险些掉下来。
很幸福的感觉,不是以物喜的幸福,是纯然的喜乐。与一切的人与事无关。
只有听这些歌的时候,才能有跳脱的感觉。
好像背转身去,然后整个世界都在身后。眼前只有山川星河,暗空明月。
不是空寂,只是安静,是孤独而安逸的时刻。
我没有宗教信仰,心存疑念的人去信,大概是一种亵渎吧。
只是为了一位歌者的喜乐,把这首歌放上。

Walk On by U2
2007-09-30
大约七年以前的一首歌,U2的,开始只是觉得旋律很好。仔细看歌词,to Aung San Suu Kyi.隐约知道这个名字。
这几天,这首歌的意义突然凸现了出来。
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z72Uv-qMci0
Walk On
U2
And love
Is not the easy thing
The only baggage
That you can bring
Not the easy thing
The only baggage you can bring
Is all that you can't leave behind
And if the darkness is to keep us apart
And if the daylight feels like it's a long way off
And if your glass heart should crack
And for a second you turn back
Oh no, be strong
Walk on
Walk on
What you got, they can't steal it
No they can't even feel it
Walk on
Walk on
Stay safe tonight
You're packing a suitcase for a place
None of us has been
A place that has to be believed
To be seen
You could have flown away
A singing bird
In an open cage
Who will only fly
Only fly for freedom
Walk on
Walk on
What you got
You can't deny it
Can't sell it or buy it
Walk on
Walk on
You stay safe tonight
And I know it aches
How your heart it breaks
You can only take so much
Walk on
Walk on
Home
Hard to know what it is
If you never had one
Home
I can't say where it is
But I know I'm going
Home
That's where the hurt is
And I know it aches
And your heart it breaks
You can only take so much
Walk on
Leave it behind
You've got to leave it behind
All that you fashion
All that you make
All that you build
All that you break
All that you measure
All that you feel
All this you can leave behind
All that you reason
All that you care
It's only time
And I'll never fill up all I find
All that you sense
All that you scheme
All you dress up
And all that you see
All you create
All that you wreck
All that you hate -
Geordie
2006-11-29
仍是齐豫的歌。一直用的都是这首。
就放在这里吧。虽然很多人觉得Blog上的音乐很碍事。
但是也不止一个人问我,这首歌叫什么名字,真的很好听。
那就留这这首吧。
为这首歌继续寻找有缘人。
As I walked under London Bridge
One misty morning early,
I overheard a fair, pretty maid,
Was lamenting for her Geordie.
O my Geordie will be hanged
in a golden chain,
'Tis not the chain of many.
He was born of King's royal breed
And lost to a virtous lady
Go bridle me my milk white steed
Go bridle me my pony
I will ride to London's court
And to plead for the life of Geordie.
O my Geordie never stole nor cow nor calf
He never hurted any
Stole sixteen of the King's royal deer
And he sold them in Bohenny.
Two pretty babies have I borne,
The third lies in my body,
I'd freely part with them every one,
If you'd spare the life of Geordie.
The judge looked over his left shoulder,
He said, ''Fair maid, I'm sorry,
Said:Fair maid you must be gone
For I can not pardon Geordie -
Northern star
2006-07-11
这首歌是Mel C的,不知道记得她的人是否还有很多,前辣妹组合中的运动辣妹。
Mel C有一副很豪爽的嗓子,在辣妹组合中她的声音很出挑,但也未见得好,有点未经修饰的土,可人家偏偏是唱通俗的。对于流行音乐而言,这样的嗓子,除非在组合里当陪衬,单飞却难以找到合适的歌。
毕竟流行音乐市场上,永远需要缠绵悱恻的情歌。那么豪爽的嗓子,怎么情话绵绵?不过,第一次听到这首歌,还是被感动了。Mel C的声音算得上大气,唱这首Northern Star,总有种追梦人的感觉。
歌里唱的是梦想遭遇现实后的破碎。倒让我联想起明星们的生活,浮华艳丽,背后却满是寒怆,被人捧上天,又被同样一批人狠狠扔在地上。登高必跌重,不知他们中有几人能明白这其中的道理。
为什么发这通感慨?这两天做一份关于娱乐八卦人物电子杂志,主选题是贝克汉姆与维多利亚婚姻的七年之痒,副选题是郭敬明遭遇炮轰始末。我就这样在贝克汉姆绯闻的海洋里游啊游啊,游了7天,终于攒出了一大篇。现在听到贝克汉姆、维多利亚的名字就是一个头两个大。
郭敬明的也别提了,这个爱做秀的,哈日的,爱美的,虚荣的无知小青年……偏偏很出名,偏偏比同龄的我有钱(不过人家也是劳动所得),被人炮轰这么惨,也是题中之义啦。
Northern Star
Melanie C
They tried to catch a falling star
Thinking that she had gone too far
She did but kept it hidden well
Until she cracked and then she fell
If all the history is true
She's gonna end up just like you
You made it to the other side
But tell me who will be my guide?
They build you up So they can tear you down
Trust the ocean
You'll never drown
Who is next?
Who's gonna steal your crown?
You'll see
I have learned my lesson well
The truth is out there I can tell
Don't look back and don't give in to their lies
And goodbyes
Northern Star
Fulfil a longing in your heart
And we will never be apart
And if they dare to question you
Just tell them that our love is true
They buy your dreams so they can sell you soul
Is it any wonder we've lost control?
Feelings come
Feelings go
I have learned my lesson well
The truth is out there I can tell
Don't look back and don't succumb to their lies
And goodbyes
Live your life without regret
Don't be someone who they forget
When you're lost reach out for me
And you'll see
She's not far
Northern Star
I have learned my lesson well
The truth is out there I can tell
Don't look back and don't succumb to their lies
And goodbyes
Live your life without regret
Don't be someone who they forget
When you're lost reach out for me
And you'll see
She's not far

遇见我
2006-04-21
偶然在电视里面听到这首歌。遇见我。
歌手名字叫曹方,似乎有人曾向我推荐过。但一直没有刻意去找过她的歌。
偶然相遇的感觉总是美好。
MV的画面被一层浅灰笼罩,有些辨不出颜色。曹方穿着长长的裙子,歌唱着,在树林间穿梭。脸上是天真的忧郁。歌声有些细弱,但有我一直喜欢那种浅吟低唱的随性。
好像我童年的回忆与梦境。歌也好,MV的质感也罢。
树林草丛,五颜六色。蓝天白云,叶縫间渗下阳光。无所事事的快乐与低回。
每个人心里都有个领地
其他人不可以随意来去
丢掉了我最喜欢的黑色
耕种着在我阳台所有的花
这些年一个人来来去去
我不禁看看我的天空里
这一边是读不懂的忧郁
那一边是大太阳高挂的画
在记忆的慢车里穿梭
是雨水它让人坚强
路总是越走越远
城市和花园
我自由的标签
在这里或那里勇敢着
秋天转眼已不见
遗落的枫叶
飘在灰色天空
阳光会在下个季节遇见我
亲吻我
我会信守承诺
直到你来看我 -
Stina Nordenstam
2006-04-06
第一次听她唱就是《罗密欧与朱丽叶》里面那首little star。听得让人觉得星星都坠落了般的美好。孩童的声音。唱诗一般的配乐。很搭调。
新放的歌是她的soon after chrismas

"Stina Nordenstam,1969年生于瑞典的Stockholm,从小就接受古典与爵士音乐的熏陶,她的歌声甜而不腻,演唱时而如忧郁病患的呢喃,时而如神秘的窃言私语,更多时候则是沉浸于水中的模糊发音,虽然内容和情感深切,但整体感觉却是寂静地,常常散发出淡淡的无奈和忧伤。"

Mad World
2006-03-17
放上的新歌,是周书昨天给我的Mad world。
出自Donnie Darko。
我把这首歌给很多人听。
用一句话糙理也糙的说法:人的孤独是绝对的。
我想这就是为什么他们也跟我一样,能被这首歌打动。
我现在十分想看这部电影。
Mad World:
All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, Worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere, Going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, No expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrows
No tomorrow, No tomorrow
And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad
These dreams in which i'm dying, Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take
When people run in circles its a very very
Mad World, Mad World
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
And they feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, Sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, No one knew me
Hello teacher tell me whats my lesson
Look right through me, Look right through me
And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which i'm dying, Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it's a very very
Mad World, Mad World
Enlarging your world
Mad World -
秘密的爱
2006-02-26
这首歌恰如其分的出现。
充满了青春怅惘的旋律。来自一个叫声音玩具的成都乐队的歌。
秘密的爱
青春的人儿啊
想想一个人的十年会怎样
足够让许多选择发生 许多人事来来往往
此刻你深爱着的啊
是那多少个十年后的少年
他是否依旧那么年轻 是否依旧那么热情
透过窗外夜色的迷雾
和丝绒般光滑的肌肤
我深深的亲吻着你 在这夜色不安的城市里和你在一起我已经快什么都已忘记
每一个甜蜜的瞬间 我只想这样拥抱着你
(至少我们在一起)
和你在一起我已经把什么都已忘记
每一个短暂的瞬间 想象着我们永不分离
(这是我们的秘密)我已不再那么年轻 也不再那么热情
我还有什么可以奉献给你
镜子里那颗晦黯的心
我已不再那么年轻 也不再那么热情
臆想中的我是那么出色的赢得你的欢心
一切不再是秘密 -
Mandalay- Beautiful
2006-01-12
昨天HBO在演一个Hilary Swank主演的片子。
Iron Jawed Angel,只看到了一个结局,不知道到底是讲什么的。然后,片尾曲响起,就是现在博客上这首。
感谢上帝,我很有耐心的等着音乐字幕的出现,直觉觉得是这首,然后就飞快的记下了Mandalay这个名字。今天一搜,居然让我找到了。
我喜欢这种温吞的张力,脆弱而强硬的,唱的狠狠的柔嫩女声。有一点诡魅。

You can depend
On certainty
Count it out and weigh it up again
You can be sure
You’ve reached the end
And still you don’t feel
Do you know you’re beautiful
Do you know you’re beautiful
Do you know you’re beautiful
You are, yes you are
You can ignore
What you’ve become
Take it out and see it die again
You can be here
For who’s a friend
And still you don’t feel
Do you know you’re beautiful
Do you know you’re beautiful
Do you know you’re beautiful
You are, yes you are
Innermost thoughts
Will be understood and
You can have all you need
Do you know
You know about anything
Do you know
You know about anyone
Do you know you’re beautiful
Do you know you’re beautiful
Do you know you’re beautiful
You are, yes you are声明:以下文字为摘抄:
似乎在所有Mandalay的介绍里都能看见Madonna的名字,因为Madonna曾说过,Mandalay是她最爱的乐队之一,也许麦姐说这句话的时候都没有意识到自己和Mandalay在某些本质上的对立,比如她们其中的一个,是那么的聪明和灵活,永远懂得如何激起听众的兴奋,而另一个则宁可冰冻起所有的情绪,然后一点一点,沉闷而单调地释放其中的美感。第一次听Mandalay,恰恰就是在麦姐主演的电影《The Next Best Thing》的OST中,听着Nicola Hitchcock用她颤抖的声音唱出《This Life》。如果这个世界上有一种冰冷可以折射出有如玛丽莲梦露一般的性感和销魂蚀骨,那么它一定属于Nicola Hitchcock。没有比“销魂浊骨”更好的词来形容Nicola独特而又让人难以置信的嗓音了-永远像在零度出唱出的歌声,天生的纯粹的寒冷和脆弱,惹人怜惜的同时却又酥人心骨,高音处流露出的颤抖和胆怯,丝毫没有试图用热情掩盖的刺耳或是装腔作势,已然继承了Sandy Denny的传统。Nicola也是众多歌唱爱情的歌手之一,她用她的独树一帜的嗓子唱出了作为一个女生对浪漫的沉思,为爱情的争辩以及女权意识的表达。
Saul Freeman的音乐生涯起于20世纪90年代早期,作为一名作曲者,他已经与David McAlmont合作过很长一段时间,不过她非常希望可以成立一个可以自主发挥的乐队,因此他在一家音乐杂志上刊登了广告,要求一名类似Dream Pop的女主音,我们的女主角Nicola Hitchcock带着她的Solo专集《A Bowl of Chalk》前来,二人很快达成了一致,于是这支名为Mandalay的乐队就此诞生。Saul和Nicola开始了亲密无间的工作,录音室中的一些细节都成了Mandalay的创作素材,Saul负责将大量的音乐元素如Dream Pop,Avant Jazz,Trip-Hop,古典取样等融合在一起,配合着Nicola不安而有如冷战的声音,随着《Empathy》(1998),《Instinct》(2000),《Solace》(2001)的发行,Mandalay在英国本土获得了极大的成功。
Mandalay在音乐中表达了他们对生活的真实理解,奋斗的艰辛和成功的喜悦,人与人之间的相处,爱情,但从不涉及反社会或是政治方面的内容,发生在Saul和Nicola身边的事往往就是他们的灵感来源。正如Saul Freeman所说的,流行音乐的听众在发生很大的改变,在以前,也许只有当你到了12岁你才有机会接触到这些,可是现在7岁的孩子都已经成了流行音乐市场的目标。但是人总是要长大的,他们会成熟,会变的有经验甚至是老于世故,即使这样他们还是有对音乐的需要,不是Eric Clapton,他太老了。而好的音乐会让他们思考,会因为他们的经历而产生共鸣,这就是Mandalay会出现的原因,我们并不是为了7岁的孩子在录唱片。

Santa Monica
2006-01-07
生平买的第一张男声的专辑,是Savage Garden的第一张。
每一首都很好听,尤其这首Santa Monica。不是情歌,可是愣让主唱唱的很抒情。
Santa Monica,是洛杉矶的一处海滩。
他刚到洛杉矶,有天看到一个路牌,Santa Monica。他觉得很眼熟,想起来,最初我给他唱过这首歌。
I will miss u every time when I pass Santa Monica.他在短信里跟我说。
http://music.scau.edu.cn/down/mp3/omgs/savagegarden/Affirmation/SANTA_MONICA.mp3
In Santa Monica in the winter time
The lazy streets so undemanding
I walk into the crowd
In Santa Monica you get your coffee from
The coolest places on the promenade
Where people dress just so
Beauty so unavoidable
everywhere you turn
It's there
I sit and wonder what am I doing here?
But on the telephone line I am anyone
I am anything I want to be
I could be a supermodel or Norman Mailer
And you wouldn't know the difference
Or would you?
In Santa Monica, all the people got
modern names
Like Jake or Mandy
And modern bodies too
In Santa Monica, on the boulevard,
You'll have to dodge those in-line skaters
Or they'll knock you down
I never felt so lonely,
Never felt so out of place
I never wanted something more than this
But on the telephone line I am anyone
I am anything I want to be
I could be a supermodel or Norman Mailer
And you wouldn't know the difference
On the telephone line, I am any height
I am any age I want to be
I could be a caped crusader, or
space invader
And you would know the difference
Or would you?
Or would you?
on the telephone line I am anyone
I am anything I want to be
I could be a supermodel or Norman Mailer
And you wouldn't know the difference -
Mary black
2006-01-04
想当年,有一份杂志叫做《音像世界》。
价格在当时肯定不算便宜,铜版纸印刷,推介许多国内国外的流行摇滚朋克新世纪古典等等,总之是各种类型的音乐兼容并包。当然也有不大靠谱的中国流行音乐,就是那些没两天就再也没出现过的歌手或乐队,差点混淆我的视听。
总的来说,杂志很好看。推荐的音乐很经典。看了这本杂志我知道了Tori Amos,Fiona Apple,Alanis Morissette,Pink Floyd,Secret Garden...还有Mary Black.
Mary Black,爱尔兰国宝级女歌手,是为女王献唱的那种级别。不过,这年头,英国王室也确实被查尔斯先生搞得失去了含金量,听说这位太子又打算改名字了。
又跑题了。回头说我初中第一次听到她歌声的感觉。温暖,温暖的一塌糊涂。听着她的歌,阴天也变晴朗似的。有阳光的时候听,阳光会渗入你的骨头缝里面。
每年都会拿出来重听,为了歌声里面的阳光。

Virginia
2006-01-01
听来听去,发现自己听得不过就是那么几个歌手乐队。
从第一次在《轻音乐》上知道Tori Amos,读到她的故事,就认定自己一定会喜欢她的歌。那种过于敏感而带来的神经质,那种丰富而细腻的内心世界。
其实我必须承认自己对她的喜欢带有某种叶公好龙。她可是被列为世界三大女权主义歌手之一。女权主义歌手,这种定性似的说法,其实最应该被唾弃。可在本人郁闷的青春期,十分需要这种前卫而高端的女性思维来支撑自己。
Tori,不过是一个强烈的自我表达者,以一种女性的身份和经历来体会这个世界。
其实她的歌,我对于那些安静的很狂热,那些带着不和谐和躁狂的,总是有点消化不了。
很喜欢她的Scarlet's walk这张专辑,一种走在路上的心情。
不那么尖锐和愤怒,依然是一种旁观者的静观态度,某种程度的冷静。
这首新歌Virginia,就是Scarlet's walk里面的一首。

不大了解这个歌者,Keren Ann。
一个法国民谣歌手。
偶然搜到这首歌,觉得很素净。
不讨巧,安静,平淡。
适合作背景音乐,把声音放得低低的才好。

苍茫中的流浪者之歌
2005-12-12
每次听Loreena Mckennitt的歌,总觉得在广阔苍茫的草原上游荡,天是沉灰色的,空气是潮湿的。
可是心里有着依靠,坚定的流浪者。
灵魂想出走,听听她的歌。
突然觉得,Loreena其实很适合唱摇篮曲,古老的歌谣,传唱千百年。一些亘古不变的沉静安详。
齐豫翻唱过她的歌,比如那首all soul's night。她们的歌声有一种共通的东西。流浪,但是心有所依傍。
她的歌,大部分都是自己作词作曲的。
很喜欢她,哪天一定好好写写。这个就算敷衍过去了,为了新放上来的她的歌Skellig。
