Dont you say you want me to stay,
now you've got to get away。
有時候,我似乎沒有從絕望中重新站起的能力,相似諾言的謊言不斷發生對立的爭執,花了很多時間去揣測,到底是在哪理發生了問題,想當然而一切都是無解,唯一可以理解的是,一首歌、一張專輯如何感動一個人,如何讓自身感到貼切,忘記是從哪裡認識了來自紐澤西的The Wrens,可能是比海還無垠的網路世界,也可能是某一個部落格的極力推崇,當然這些都不重要,重要的是,現在的我將The Meadowlands這張專輯光碟由媒介使它轉動,從喇叭傳出的聲音穿透出房內的牆,和清晨的陽光相互接觸,產生一種酵母發酵的奇特效應,吉他的鏗鏘清脆,夾雜中年男子的柔情氣息,與苦悶硬漢的感人悲情。
他們2003年所發行的The Meadowlands可能是該年最好聽的獨立搖滾專輯之一,如傳聞中他們所待過的廠牌都相繼收攤,樂團一路走來崎崎嶇嶇,到1996年的Secaucus專輯才開始有點起色,幾個邁入中年的上班男子就這樣玩著音樂,很單純的唱著他們的歌,沒有偶像賣像,沒有莫名其妙的效果聲音,只是吉他,鼓,貝斯這樣的搖滾著,聽了可能就會沒頭沒腦的開心起來,也偶爾會來首感性的歌曲,裡頭還包含著奇特的感動因子 。
經歷感情的流逝,是最教人感到絕望的時刻,開始沒辦法思考,沒辦法下嚥,甚至是哭濕的棉被裡都有種夏天雨後最不想感受到的潮濕觸感,當日子無法順遂,跌到谷底後,我們必須依賴一些東西,甚至是一首歌,才能再度回到這腐爛世界的正常軌道上,重複撥放著”Hopeless”就是那些日子固定會做的事情,裡頭歌詞所要傳達的正是我所能深深體會的事實,聽起來像是站在陽光底下的失戀青年,吉他的間奏,神奇的將哀傷融入輕快的節奏裡,一層一層的上升後接著爆發,經過撥放次數的上升後,或許就開始不再保持著悲觀的態度,只是我再也無法忘記妳所說過的話,或許我們都很遺憾這樣的變化。
The Wrens – Hopeless
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
這首真是好聽到破表
