violet hill的音乐

原文：http://tieba.baidu.com/f?kz=1008684160 How did you enjoy the Brits last week? 你上周去了全英音乐颁奖典礼，感觉如何？ "It was cool. It's a very exciting awards show. Because there were so many fans there, it felt like a concert. So many award shows can be boring and serious, but this one was fun." “那很酷，那是个非常激动人心的演出现场，因为那里有很多的粉丝，感觉就像是在演唱会上，很多颁奖典礼都很无聊还很严肃，但是这个就很有趣~” Who did you hang out with? 你有和谁出去玩吗？ "I kinda just went, did my part and then left. No partying! No nothing for me!" 我就是去了，然后完成我要做的那部分就走了，没参加派对和其他什么的 You're coming back with a new album after four years. Have you been nervous? 沉寂四年后，你带着你的新专辑回来了，你感到紧张吗？ "Everyone's been asking that, but no. I think I'm more relaxed than anything because I've made a record I'm really proud of. I'm really excited and super mellow." “每个人都问过这个问题，但是怎么会呢，我觉得我比任何人都要轻松，因为我创造了个让我自己都感到骄傲的记录，我现在真的很激动，也准备充分了。 Is the debut single indicative of the general sound of the album? 首张单曲在你新专辑里是不是比较一般？ "It's so different. There are only one or two songs like that on the record. 'What The Hell' is very much like my older stuff - pop-rock with a light subject. The rest of my record is stripped down, raw, deeper, more emotional - kind of more acoustic but not quite. It's got a lot of loops, pianos and acoustic guitar, so a very different vibe." “它和其他的歌曲不同，在我新专辑里大概就一到两首歌像这风格的，‘What the hell’比较像我以前的风格—流行摇滚，主题比较轻快的。其余的歌曲就更多的涉及到情感和更有深度、并且非常原始的，有更多的纯乐器演奏的声音。里面有很多乐器的融合和循环，像钢琴、不插电的吉他声，非常不同的感觉。” What was the thinking of having 'What The Hell' as the trailer single, then? 那为什么把“what the hell”作为首打单曲呢？ "It was chosen because it has a familiar sound. The record company wanted something like that - something more radio-friendly. It's kind of like my old stuff and it'll help bridge into the new stuff." “这首歌被选上，因为它听起来更容易让人上口。唱片公司希望这样，希望有些歌能口水些。就像我以前那风格。 Are you happy with how it's performed on the charts? 对于榜单上的成绩你还满意吗？ "I think it's doing alright, especially because I don't think it's the best song on the album. It's doing alright, yeah." “我觉得表现不错了，特别是我觉得它并不是这张专辑里最好的一首歌，做的不错了~耶~” What's the significance of Goodbye Lullaby as an album title? 《Goodbye Lullaby》作为专辑的名字又什么意义吗？ "It represents the record and me growing, moving forward, opening a new chapter in life and closing the door on another." “它代表着一些记录，我在成长、在向前进、迈向新的人生，告别过去。” You co-wrote every song on the album. How important was that to you? 专辑里每首歌你都参与了创作，这对你很重要吗？ "I wrote half of the record by myself, without a co-writer, and then I co-wrote the rest. I've always been involved in the songwriting process. I wrote one of the songs on the album ('Darlin'') when I was 15, and I've finally recorded it now, which means a lot to me. I produced some of the songs too, which makes the project even closer to me." 一直以来，我都参与专辑的创作，这次，半张专辑都是我创作的，另一半则是合作创作。新专辑里有首歌Darlin是我15岁时候写的，现在终于有机会用上了，这首歌对我很重要。我也参与了几首歌的后期制作，这样专辑跟我联系的更紧密了！ How did you find producing? 后期制作感觉怎样？ "It was cool because I didn't think I could ever do that. I learned a lot through Deryck (Whibley) and my friend Evan (Taubenfeld). The two tracks I did, 'Goodbye' and 'For Real', are really simple rock tracks, so it wasn't anything crazy. Sometimes less is more too." 很酷啦，因为原来不相信我能做到，我从小D和Evan那里学到了很多。 "GOODBYE"和“FOR REAL”都是我制作的，都是很淳朴的摇滚，没有什么疯狂的元素，简单有时候更好。 I read an interview in which you mentioned that the record has been sitting on the shelf for a year. Why's there been a delay in releasing it? 专辑真的像传言中推迟了一年才要发行么？为什么呢？ "Because my record company were being a typical record company and trying to give me their version of how it should be - trying to get me to go in a different direction. I had to fight with them over and over. I was like, 'No, this is a really special record to me and this is what I'm doing'." 因为唱片公司一直逼我走不同的路线来符合他们的要求。我必须跟他们一遍遍的交涉，跟他们解释这张专辑对我有多重要而且我就要做这些。 By different direction, do you mean back to the more classic Avril sound? 另一种路线？是不是就是几年前的感觉呢？ "Radio's very rhythmic and urban and dance today. I think they wanted me to do something more like that, but that's not what my vision was for this album. I was signed by L.A. Reid on Arista Records when I was 16. He understood me and believed in me. Arista folded and I got put on RCA or whatever, then there were new people there, and every six months it changes and more new people come in. It's funny when someone new comes in and they've got an opinion too." 现在电台播放的都是都市风格比较有节奏的舞曲，我想唱片公司就是想让我录这种，但这完全和我的相反背道。16岁时我和Arista的L.A. Reid签约，他很明白我也支持我。但在RCA就不一样了，这里人员变动频繁，而且好像人人都有意见要表达。 Have you decided on a second single yet? 第二首单曲决定了吗？ "I'm really hoping it's going to be 'Push'." 我希望是“Push” Rihanna sampled one of your songs on 'Cheers (Drink To That)' from her Loud album. What did you make of that? Rihanna取样I'm With you制作了Cheer, 感觉如何？ "I really like it. My friends downloaded it and played it for me. I like my song 'I'm With You', so I'm just happy that she did that. She's really talented and has a great career." 很喜欢，朋友下载了给我听，我喜欢"I'm With You", 很高兴。 Rihanna天赋很高事业也很成功。 Some of your classic songs like 'Sk8er Boi' are now nearly nine years old. Has your approach to performing them changed now you're older? 像滑板少年一样，你的经典曲目都快9岁了，随着年龄的增长，你会用不一样的方式去演唱那些歌吗？ "No. When people come to a concert, they wanna hear the hits, the big radio songs, and they wanna hear them how they're used to hearing them. I like playing them how they were recorded." 不会的，歌迷来听演唱会当然要听最出名的，电台里最红的，而且当然要以歌迷最熟悉的方式去演绎，就像CD里播放的一样。 Goodbye Lullaby is out March 7. "GOODBYE LULLABY" 将在3月8日发行（北京时间）

那时候记得大概在初二的某夜里听到music radio排行榜的冠军歌曲《向往》，也第一次知道李健，声音很干净很温暖。貌似这首歌蝉联了好几周冠军，好多年过去了，音乐之声的jingle貌似不是萧亚轩的那一段了。也许久未听电台，现在收音机只为英语考试而准备。 此时此刻正写信给在大洋彼岸念书的好友，播着李健的新专辑《故乡山川》，很窝心的旋律，也抄了一段歌词赠予好友。 忍耐是最后的坚守，向往是永恒的自由。

依稀記得聽V的第一首歌 不是complicated 不是sk8er boi 而是原本收錄在B-sides里的things i'll never say 是在借我同學的播放器偶爾聽到的 聲音很干淨卻透出一絲絲的桀驁不馴 那時的自己也處於青春叛逆初期 剛出道的avril煙燻妝、緊身背心、男士領帶、滑板褲和converse 16歲可以隻身從加拿大小鎮拿著吉他去曼哈頓學習寫歌、錄唱片。我靠，此妞酷到骨子裡了！從此一發不可收拾，買了Let go的卡帶、under my skin和TBDT的CD，也是除了Lene外我唯一買過正版CD的歌手 當外界在議論她到底是rock還是punk的時候 在和布蘭妮處處作比較的時候 她依然avril。 她是我的歐美音樂的啓蒙，從此酷愛大洋彼岸的各種音樂。她也是我的口語發音老師，跟著她肆無忌憚地唱著nobody‘fool ，take me away的時候不知不覺可以把自己的發音發到極致… 數多年過去了，她也出嫁了，雖然最近跟小D鬧分居，雖然大多數人依舊看好她與Evan，無論怎樣，當年的sk8er boi已經變為drama Queen，唯一不變的是她對自由的追求，敢愛也敢恨。 離第一節課還有一個鐘頭，我還是選擇播放這妞的歌。
