Brett Anderson

Love Is Dead。

 

大家熟知的Suede主唱Brett Anderson繼上次與前吉他手Bernard Butler再組合的The Tears後,在07年發行個人專輯,這令我想起初次聽Suede,他那陰氣十足的嗓音,綿柔深長卻不黏膩,讓我認為Suede是多麼的不一樣,多麼帶著英式頹廢的氣息,回到現今, Brett的第一主打”Love is Dead”,把以往耳中繚繞的吉他聲減少大半,取而代之的是一組弦樂隊,用另一種樂音表現手法去詮釋Brett的歌聲,這樣的改變並不太壞,或許不同以往Suede年輕時期聲音來得騷勁著實,但我們看到在英式搖滾時期過後些許樂隊主唱紛紛出了自己的專輯,表現以往樂迷無法得知的另一種情感。

整張專輯聽起帶點莫名哀傷”Intimacy”與＂Dust and rＲain＂多少還留有Suede的感覺,那些關於愛已死(Love Is Dead),,無限之吻(The Infinite Kiss),一首首對人眾的疏離,謊言與對愛情的絕望,怎叫人不心碎, 還是弦樂器作祟”To The Winter＂挾帶冬雪飄蕩的哀愁,我們一踏便陷入深雪與其愁傷中,最後也請不要忘記最後一曲”Song For My Father”一種說不出口,卻無法忘卻的鍵聲鳴唱的旋律。

Brett Anderson – Love Is Dead

Nothing ever goes right
沒有什麼事做對的
Nothing really flows in my life
沒有真正漂流的生活
No one really cares if no one ever shares my care
沒有人在乎假使我給予關注
People push by with fear in their eyes in my life
人生當中人們眼中充滿恐懼
Love is dead, love is dead
愛已死
The telephone rings, but no one ever thinks to speak to me
電話響起,但沒有人曾想對我訴說
The traffic speeds by, but no one's ever stopped too late
交通速度的流動,但沒有誰想多停留時間
Intelligent friends don't care in the end, believe me
聰明的朋友們,不在乎這些結局,　相信我
Love is dead, love is dead
愛已死
And plastic people with imaginary smiles
塑膠人們虛假的笑容
Exchanging secrets at the back of their minds
在背後交換著心靈秘密
Plastic people
塑膠人們

And all the lies that you've given us
所以妳給予我們的謊言
And all the things things that you said
所有妳所說的事
And all the lies that you've given us...
Blow like wind in my head
在我腦中呼蕭而出
