Our bodies break And the blood just spills and spills But here we sit debating math It's just a shame My hand just kills and kills There's gotta be an end to that There's gotta be an end to that
oh no, not this time too i'm the only one you got to use and if I tell you all this could be nothing more than a way to leave you would you want me?
and now you're sorry for the things you did to me I want you to know I feel I was the one who got used and used to just about anything you would tell me but those days are more than over now
Dont you say you want me to stay now you've got to get away,
you've got to get away, go find someone who wants you someone to pray to get on your knees to lay down and please you too it just won't be me ever again
hopeless that this will turn out better this isnt what i wanted I should've listened to them go thank yourself for nothing it's really all youre good for and every year you wasted and every half-assed offer
在2003年發行了Asobi Seksu第一張的同名專輯,整體的感覺就像是看到了英國90初期的迷幻鞋瞪團Lush的影子,以及加入Sonic Youth噪音吉他的元素,專輯第二首”Sooner”又叫人想起My Bloody Valentine在Loveless的最後一曲”Soon”同樣扭曲的音效,有種血脈傳承的相似感,還可以發現indie pop曲調的作品”Tayio”和Acoustic的”Before We Fall”,當中七分鐘長的"It`s Too Late"是我認為當中最棒的歌曲,在情緒起伏的表達上相當具有柔性的破壞力,像是沖天煙火毫無目地的在星空亂竄,沒有盡頭似的紛亂,來不及等到火光燒盡後便開始墜落般,如此帶點焦躁的悲劇性。
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club新專輯Baby 81裡的第八首歌曲”All You Do Is Talk”不同於專輯其餘曲目時髦的速度與重節拍,將噪音丟至一旁,玩起了迷幻抒情的小品,每一句歌詞後銜接讓人易於陶醉的吉他旋律,他們可能玩遍了那些偉大前輩們的曲式,藍調搖滾,豎立強大的吉他噪音牆,英式美式大交融,像團名黑色叛逆摩托車俱樂部一樣酷炫,但在燈光還是咖啡氣味的作祟下,最後深得心裡相襯的就只剩下這一首”All You Do Is Talk”了。
聽聽”Weapon Of Choice”也是相當過癮,讓人想起B.R.M.C裡的”Whatever Happened To My Rock & Roll”雙主唱的交互喊唱,像是年輕氣盛的狂躁小子,浮現一群黑色重機車隊行駛於凱達格蘭大道,叫囂著,抗議著,聚集起等著唱垮政府的龐克們,很莫名以及誇張的景象。
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - All You Do Is Talk
Help yourself don't say a thing Your love won't show and anything at all If all you do is talk
Sadly I remain in need Of all the things you say, believe and speak All you do is talk
Help yourself, don't think Help yourself, don't speak Help yourself, don't say a thing at all Your lucky words don't bleed
Entirely in the raw we see You said we're on our way and I will be Alone and everything
You say it's all we'll ever need You find an easy way but still you weep Alone and everything
Help yourself, don't think Help yourself, don't speak Help yourself, don't say a thing at all Your lucky words don't bleed
Help yourself don't say a thing The love you show won't mean a thing at all If all you do is talk
Sadly we remain to see What brings an end is also what we need All you do is talk
Help yourself, don't think Help yourself, don't speak Help yourself, don't say a thing at all Your lucky words don't bleed
關於那試聽唱機裡所轉動的火燒馬專輯,相當容易入耳,吉他如民謠清脆挑動,卻還佈滿爆破性的噪音地雷,一旦踩到時間點上便轟轟作響,但說不上是震撼力的存在,我似乎早已忘記主唱的聲音如何詮釋於音樂上,約莫在第四首時我起了身,拿起那張火燒馬專輯,翻至背面看了價錢,反射性的將手伸入口袋內,卻只發現幾枚零星的銅板,它就這樣被金錢侷限住,牢牢實實的被固定在那,我只能試著去記起樂團名稱,但那名稱的長度可能比”I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness”還要長,或許一樣長,有著我大腦裡沒有居住的英文單字,於是我就這樣放棄記憶了,像個無能似連個樂團名稱也記不起來。
I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness與Love Will Tear Us Apart好像有某種血緣性的存在感,類似本來就是可以連接的字句,由於愛將從我們中間這樣硬生生的切開,這樣的我就去選擇了黑暗,帶點悲劇的性質,有點故作瀟灑,但令人著迷,也就是這樣我們選擇搖滾樂當作不可缺乏的依賴,它成了陽光、空氣、水,缺一不可的必要。
※I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness 德州後龐克樂團名稱 ※Love Will Tear Us Apart 是70`s後龐克樂隊Joy Division最知名的單曲 ※Ceremony乃Joy Division之歌曲 被許多樂團所翻唱New Order 、Galaxie 500.... ※Ian Curtis是Joy Division的主唱 自殺於23歲 傳記片"Control"將在07年上映 ※希望有人能告訴我那張有著火燒馬封面的樂團名稱
