Mojave 3 - Puzzles Like You

田野原是一片青綠
日落前卻化為耀眼金黃
男孩女孩們互相追逐
大家手執手圍繞
一顆碩大堅韌的無名樹
一種對於生命堅強的表徵
生活本該就應由繁轉為淡
拋開了物慾
拋開了塵囂
妳我躺在名為自然的毛毯
指著另一顆尚未墜落的繁星


"Mojave 3"今年發行的"Puzzles Like You",除去以往悶悶的緩漂鄉間氣味,轉為充滿歡愉的田園氣氛,或許有人還是較喜歡以往的"Mojave 3",但個人覺得各有可聽之處,這次專輯少了許多女主唱"Rachel Goswell"的聲音,一直都在幫"Neil Halstead"做合音的部分,可能讓很多喜歡"Rachel Goswell"聲音的人有點失望,如果想找回之前的"Mojave 3"就試試看第五首的"Most days"恬淡的曲子與合聲,整張專輯從第一首到最後一首都有著相當入耳的旋律,自從放棄"Slowdive"時期的迷幻吉他噪音,轉為使用木吉他便開始譜出一首首偏靠鄉村民謠流行的曲調,尤其在這張"Puzzles Like You"我們更能聽到好聽的吉他刷弦,諸如"To Hold Your Tiny Toes","Just A Boy",都是我所喜愛的,一種不斷在田野鄉間行走,照著11月不刺不辣的太陽,那種說不口的輕鬆感。
Mojave 3 - Just A Boy
Don't it make you feel good
when the world spins another way
and it's all in your head
And every little thing thing she said
is a call to arms?
A vote for the underclass—yeah, the underdog
Still holding fast
And I don't talk much, no
I don't think much, no
I'm just a boy who hangs around
I keep my eyes clean, yeah
I keep my nose clean, yeah
Just a boy who hangs around
I hear you calling
Don't you know I'm falling?
I keep my back to the world
And Rita takes time to say it's all right
She always had some time to steal
A summer of hate,
no holy crusade, and the wars on TV
are lost on me—yeah, they're lost on you
The battles we fight are all our own,
they're shabby and light and stupid and sad
They're all we have
Yeah, they're all we have
And I don't talk much, no
I don't think much, no
I'm just a boy who hangs around
I keep my eyes clean, yeah
I keep my nose clean, yeah
I'm just a boy who hangs around
