幻的音乐

“对Braddigan的音乐的最佳的描述是："what would happen in a loving fist-fight between Paul Simon, Jack Johnson, and Pearl Jam!" 作为一名鼓手，同时又是吉他手和singer-songwriter，Braddigan的音乐中有着很强节奏感，热爱旅游性情奔放的Braddigan又从自己的奇遇中汲取了多种文化，无论是雷鬼、民谣、拉丁还是摇滚，这些都可以在Braddigan充满情感的作品中听到。” 以上来自emule。 对我来说，他的音乐是弥散着硫磺味的烟，或者是尚有余温的火山灰。你以为那些不过是普通的烟尘，一口吸进去——短时间内无知无觉，时间一长才发觉中毒已深。他唱歌并不很用力，但很优雅。只是娓娓地说，一首一首，在耳边吹起毛绒绒的风和小尘埃。 是一张需要一点耐心反复多听几遍的碟。Braddigan隔岸观火般地唱。你就隔岸观火般地听。 最后那把火就会烧起来。

几年前在emule上看到，迷迷糊糊就下下来。并不是经常翻出来听的专辑，只是一直好好地存着。非常喜欢，因而不忍把它听滥。almost blue和no difference让人印象深刻。很深很静。像是雁或天鹅之类的大鸟，飞过时投下很深很静的阴影。 专辑名来自一句歌词。 [And I miss you - Like the deserts miss the rain.] 令人想起方文山的词。[天青色等烟雨 而我在等你]。 相似的意境。美丽广袤深沉旖旎。 ================ 几首歌词 [Mine] Blown in winds of mischance He would stay but that's not his way What escape for her she swims in the dark In too deep but still waves - "I'm okay And I don't need his name, thank you Mine fits me nicely and mine will do" Unsteady footsteps can't walk alone yet He's sends a postcard says he's in debt Now she's treading water got a back room to let Curses in the backyard neighbors on the doorstep "You must give your child a name some time" Well you mean his and what's wrong with mine?" Sometimes she could kill him Sometimes this house gets too small She drives him to distraction To see if he will fall But if the truth were told Which it never is With a family like that Who needs enemies She'd be better on her own You sink her like a stone These lyrics were found at ActioNext.com. ==================== [Almost blue] Almost blue Almost doing things we used to do There's a boy here and he's almost you Almost All the things that your eyes once promised I see in his too Now your eyes are red from crying Almost blue Flirting with this disaster became me It named me as the fool who only aimed to be Almost blue It's almost touching It will almost do There is part of me that's always true Always Not all good things come to an end Now it is only a chosen few I have seen such an unhappy couple Almost me Almost you Almost blue ===================== [No Difference] You watch the phone Like it was the TV If you're all alone Well, whose fault can that be Your keys, your bag, the car They're where they always are And the light goes down And all the lights.. come on And they call to me Oh come on come on And you don't make, you don't make no difference to me You look at me say What you talking about? Well me, I'm going out with or without I know I don't get far And we're where we always are The light goes down And all the lights come on And they call to me Oh come on come on And you don't make you don't make no difference to me You don't make no difference to me You don't make no difference to me So you fix a drink 'Cause it's time to drown And the clock speeds up And then it slows right down The life that we have missed I think it still exists How can you resist? And the light goes down And all the steetlights shine And they call to me ooh, be dead a long time And it makes, it makes a difference to me. And the light goes down And all the lights come on And they call to me Oh come on Come on You can make, you can make a difference to me Come on make a difference to me Come on make a difference to me =================================== [Walking Wounded] Out amongst the walking wounded, every face on every bus Is you and me and him and her and nothing can replace the us I knew Nothing can replace the us I knew And no, I'm never gonna let you go And no, I'm never gonna let you go And now I know I had a choice though you never made it clear to me I thought you never felt it deeply Now I'm never gonna let you go Now I'm never gonna let you go 'Cause I could have loved you forever I could have loved you forever What do you want from me?, Are you trying to punish me? Punish me for loving you, punish me for giving to you Punish me for nothing I do, punish me for nothing You punish me for nothing, for nothing Out amongst the walking wounded, every face on every bus Is you and me and him and her and nothing can replace the us I knew Nothing can replace the us I knew Now I'm never gonna let you go Now I'm never gonna let you go And now I know I had a choice though you never made it clear to me I thought you never felt it deeply Now I'm never gonna let you go Now I'm never gonna let you go 'Cause I could have loved you forever Oh I could have loved you forever What do you want from me? , Are you trying to punish me? Punish me for loving you, punish me for giving to you Punish me for nothing I do, punish me for nothing You punish me for nothing, for nothing Out amongst the walking wounded, every face on every bus Is you and me and him and her and nothing can replace the us I knew Nothing can replace the us I knew Out amongst the walking wounded, every face on every train Is you and me and him and her, some days I think I could go insane Some days I think I could go insane

由于一些千丝万缕的缘由，这篇本不属于我的评论留在了这里。 如果你喜欢这篇评论，可以移步去原作者的豆瓣页面。 http://www.douban.com/people/heiskeigo/ 谢谢。 =========== KEANE总是直击人心的。钢琴，鼓点，假声，就是一个世界。 KEANE一曲一曲地讲述爱情，讲述男子，讲述错落的人生。Chaplin就这么用力地唱，仿佛一个男子终其一生在宿命里挣扎。 假声多得如同生命里的伪饰，鼓声固定的节奏好像日复一日单调的生活，大量的延迟和扭曲用于钢琴声，造成奇异的变调，更像那些不能道出的过去留下的不为人理解的奇怪轨迹。 I came across a fallen tree I felt the branches of it looking at me Is this the place we used to love? Is this the place that I've been dreaming of? 那些过去的年少的爱，曾经烙入我们的心中那样深。那些因想念而失眠的夜晚，那些风吹过的季节，那些浪花溅起的地方，点点滴滴……一场爱并不是容易的事情，因为我们都会互相折磨，互相迫害，而我们却曾幼稚地把这些都当作爱。 也许就是这样的吧，没有什么理由，我们的青春去得太快，生活的打磨让心智成倍速地成长，随之而来的却是无尽的绵长的疲倦。 因为疲倦，所以需要安定的生活；因为疲倦，所以想停下来静静开始一段感情。只是累了，没有理由，没有理由。 Oh simple thing where have you gone I'm getting old and I need something to rely on So tell me when you're gonna let me in I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin 歌的最后是一长段凄凉的呼喊，撕心裂肺的呼喊。哀怨的吟唱不能掩饰那些无奈。当Chaplin的声音渐渐微弱，Rice-Oxley的手从钢琴上慢慢移开，我们也一点一点苍老的时候，谁还能意识到破败的青春曾经就是那么美好地摆在我们面前呢？谁还会来惋惜呢？ And if you have a minute why don't we go Talk about it somewhere only we know? This could be the end of everything So why don't we go Somewhere only we know

OLIVIA的第二张专辑。这个美日混血的小姑娘长得非常漂亮，声音跟她本人一样甜美。唱比较华丽的摇滚，有时偏日，有时偏美。偏日的时候跟HYDE的风格有那么一丝接近……传说他们俩人似乎有那么一丝绯闻……啊当然这并不是关注的重点…… 推荐歌曲出自私人偏好。不代表大众立场。 01. Alone in our Castle （荐） 电子和声的简单伴奏，去除人声，便是单纯而愉悦的小电子。在背景里悄悄地啵啵爆个不停。Olivia的声音柔韧，尖而不锐地在高音部分呼出轻轻的气声。慢节奏的曲，Olivia认真地唱着，却徒然生出微凉的悲伤来。 02. Fake Flowers 一上来便听着用力的喊。接着便是乐队撑起的“fake”声势。汹涌的阵势一直冲向高潮。而高潮照例是由甜美婉转的和声配着呻吟一般的主线。狂躁与好脾气相承。反复反复反复。通常这样的曲子听多了便会爱上，并且记忆深刻。 03. Blind Unicorn（荐） 延续上一首狂躁与好脾气相承接的风格。自言自语的唱段和狂吼、刺声的电音与磨碟、以及突然温和大众的旋律。相比之下这首显得非常摇滚，且异常华丽。 04 Devil's in Me 换上拖沓庸懒的唱腔，在句末突然发力狠叫。感觉像一个小女孩神经质的暴怒，于是枕头的白羽毛乱飞……鼓点密集。十分亢奋的歌。 05 Celestial Delinquent 这首的曲风驱近于trip-hop。尝试营造鬼魅慌乱的气氛。不过个人觉得Olivia的较为甜美的声音并不十分适合。旋律倒是挺好听。 06 Space Halo 海浪般涌动的美丽。舒缓的大众风格倒是展现了Olivia的唱功，清澈透明，确实如同圣光，或者价值连城的绝世宝玉。 07 SpidERSpins (Lost Lolli Mix) 这大概算得上她早期的代表作了吧。旋律好听，节奏劲，声音甜蜜。没有理由不爱它。 08 026unconscious333 听过evanescence的Bring Me To Life么。有那么一点味道。但与Amy Lee精灵一般的声音比起来Olivia就要显得弱很多。人比人果然要比死人。 09 Under Your Waves 整体偏美式摇滚。尽管还是能听出演唱者是个小女孩，但能感觉到还是很有分量，高音撑得很足。该松时松，该紧时紧。 10 Dreamcamp 开始飘渺……用来欣赏好声音的曲子。 11 Denial（荐） 厚实的喉音。尾音的简单处理却显得很动听。只能说，Olivia演唱的感觉非常好。真假音的转换很自然。尽管某些高音显得有那么一丁点牵强，但不足以影响整体感。 12 Sea Me (English Version) 她唱kiss me forever.百转千回的样子。所以我猜想大概是属于恋爱小女生的歌。kiss me.kiss me. 13 Into the Stars (Live Arrangement Version) 再次欣赏好声音。轻柔，充满了年轻的力量。
