jessiestone的音乐

其实是去年12月12日写的日志，博客大巴说有敏感词汇要审查，我看了半天都瞅不出来哪里敏感。关键是他们审查了那么久还是没有看出来这就是一篇影迷自我娱乐+稍微探寻了一下歌曲意思的文艺性log这么个浅显的事实。我索性就贴这了。 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 还没有睡，随便写写。 单曲循环了一个晚上之后，我终于想说还是换个别的吧。点开了strangler的golden brown，那就顺便就着这小菜说两句给自己解闷好了。 几年前看盖里奇的snatch，相当喜欢，后来又看了更早一点的两杆大烟枪，虽然有些东西我也喜欢，比如种大麻他们家的粉红墙壁。。。但是欢快度上还是更喜欢snatch。有段时间想用电影逗自己开心的时候，第一个想到的就是snatch。前前后后看了有没有20次呢。是不是很能让人吐。竟然连电影我都喜欢循环。anyway，我tm就是喜欢看snatch，哇哈哈哈。。。 没话了。。。 好吧，再给自己说几句。 之所以听golden brown要说起snatch，因为我是因为snatch才会听到golden brown。我这人不听歌，大凡主动去找什么歌，那八成是我在哪个电影里听到某个中意的配曲。。。之后的结局是有可能就此收手，但兴致好的时候也有可能继续追着乐队的屁股找他们其他的歌来听。所以有些乐队，比如strangler，在我的脑袋里是直接与电影挂钩的。 在snatch，就在brad pitt一拳干掉了gorgeous George，Tommy在人群的推搡中欲哭无泪的时候（小tommy，德国人来了），就是这个时候响起了golden brown。我好喜欢啊，就去imdb上查了歌名，又想找下载，不过那时候没找到，结果现在随便一搜就能在中文站上找到，看到很多人说他们的缘起也是因为看snatch。 话说snatch，也算是群戏电影吧，盖里奇的故事思路在几部电影里都没有变过，伦敦黑帮，几个小混混，几匹大佬，几只集团，几股利益，阴错阳差，阳奉阴违，最后交缠到一块，来个大火并，配乐表现人物身份气质，也起到隔断的效果，大概就是诸如此类特征，我也记不全了。 我喜欢snatch，不仅因为故事好看，故事流畅，语言有趣，人物我也个个都爱。这片子全身上下我都喜欢，简直跟喜欢一男的似的。 一讲起snatch里的人来，我可就真来劲啊。 【以下为影迷自我娱乐区，人类慎入】 从一开始，本尼西奥德尔托罗挂着犹太人的小鬓卷儿在那考证圣母玛利亚的处女or非处女问题，我就搁那乐。四个家伙从一个摄像头转角到另一个摄像头，直到有个家伙实在受不了，hey，what u saying~~太tm渎神了哈哈。过门禁时武器检测仪在那嘀嘀嘀，德尔托罗看了看自己的裤子，说，what u want me do，take off my trousers？以后的犹太银行家要注意一下，民族文化没有错，但是也不能让打劫的钻了空子。然后马上就是劲暴的抢劫场面，音乐和镜头，直接点出电影基调和主题，这一下的暴力真tm酷啊！多嚣张！哈哈哈。。。然后就是快捷利落的片头，钻石和黄金在一个个小贼大佬手头轮转，偷拐抢骗。平息下来的时候德尔托罗已经得手，一伙人在小货车里分手散赃，一个个大胡子小鬓卷都给摘了。俄罗斯裔的家伙说give me your gun，德尔托罗和他对视着把枪里的子弹全下光丢给他，两个人眼睛里都含着贼人同伙的笑，when u get to London，if u need a gun，call this number，就这样，Boris就出现了，我最亲爱的boris，喝着小酒，讲着俄语，“我能为你做什么呀？”，boris，u r my brother，so act like my brother！frankie fucking four fingers，carrie a diamond big like a fist，will go to America，but he‘s gonna stay in London for a few days，so find someone to get the stone！but dont do it yourself，Americans will know it's the Russians！and one thing，may help，he likes to gamble。。。可怜的德尔托罗，性命就这样被算计了，那娃还很暴发户地在伦敦高级服装店脱得只剩一条内裤地定制行头呢，还抽雪茄，讲电话，神态享受。。。我很喜欢德尔托罗这个演员，虽然他总是演些瘾君子酒鬼之流（今年好不容易演了回切格瓦拉），眼睛也是纵欲过度之人的浮肿，但我就是觉得他看着别样地中我的意啊。。。所以这娃即将这么快地在电影里挂掉真让我有点想在他耳朵边吼一声，喂你就要挂啦！无奈，那娃啥都不晓得，电话那头警告他要跟赌场离得远远的，他还在头脑里立刻反应出在拉斯维加斯狂欢的场景，纯黑皮着。。。现在，就叙述到了我最喜欢的人物之一了，犹太美国佬，宝石商，连brick top身边的两个打手，errol和gary，那个看上去很拽很有黑帮派的我都在欣赏。冲tony开了n枪之后悲剧性地喊着why dont u die的色情行业华人黑帮，我也看着他表情就想笑。Lincoln，冲着把假金子抓下巴，i creat body，not erase body。doug的双胞胎女儿，yes dad，u told us！哈哈哈，一个一个从柜子底下冒出来。mullet，刚刚编派完某人的金牙结果背后悲剧性地响起某人的声音，转过身的那小体态，配那小表情，真是绝了啊。。。为什么每个都这么有爱，真的不要太过分啊。。。[老子好像欢乐自己欢乐得太晚了，靠，坚持不下去了][靠，请snatch的每一位角色都不要伤心，我心里永远永远爱你们][靠，灰太狼说她一定会回来把自己黑皮完的] 【影迷自我娱乐区告一段落】 转回头来说golden brown，这首歌到底是什么意思，先来看看歌词。 Golden brown texture like sun Lays me down with my mind she runs Throughout the night No need to fight Never a frown with golden brown Every time just like the last On her ship tied to the mast To distant lands Takes both my hands Never a frown with golden brown Golden brown finer temptress Through the ages she's heading West From far away Stays for a day Never a frown with golden brown 维基百科里说，虽然stranglers乐队声称歌词是想表达“人们只听自己想听的话”的意思，但这首歌的意思普遍被认为与海洛因有关，而2001年的时候乐队的主唱，同时也是歌曲的词作者Hugh cornwell在他的书《the stranglers song by song》里说，这首歌既是关于毒品，又是关于一个女孩，“同时给了我很多愉悦的时光”。虽然乐队成员之一的鼓手jet black有一次被电视台采访时戏称这歌说的是marmite（一种牌子的食物，俺也没搞清楚是虾米东东），但是他这话估计做不得真。 我还找到一张网页，对这首歌的意思做了一番解读，个人觉得还是有比较靠谱的地方。这位Pete Dorherty筒子说， 他认为“On her ship tied to the mast，To distant lands，Takes both my hands”这几句歌词是借用了奥德修斯（Odysseus）与女神喀尔刻（Circe）的故事。 话说荷马史诗我也读过，就是没读完。。。真的很好看，人说诗歌不能被翻译，就算是被翻译过，荷马史诗还是会出现打动我的句子。。。不打岔了，总之，我没读到奥德赛那，所以大致根据网上看的叙述一下这两人是怎么回事。大致就是特洛伊战争结束之后，奥德修斯因为得罪了海神波塞冬而被惩罚回不了家，在海外漂流了很多年。他遇到了有魔法的女神喀尔刻，喀尔刻把奥德修斯的船员都变成了猪，而奥德修斯因为事先服用了赫尔墨斯的仙草而免于魔咒，喀尔刻看到自己的咒语对奥德修斯无效，就放过了奥德修斯的船员，招待他们，她自己与奥德修斯生活在一起，后来育有一子。一年后奥德修斯要离开女神的岛，女神知道他此去有两次艰险，所以叮嘱他，当船队遇到塞壬（Siren）的时候要让部下用蜡堵住各自的耳朵，不能听塞壬女妖的迷惑歌声，如果奥德修斯自己想听这歌声，可以让船员将他绑在船上，他越是想到唱歌的塞壬那里去，船员越要把他绑得更紧。 突然想起来以前看过一本《西洋神名事典》，里面不知道是讲到了喀尔刻还是吕卡普索，当时读到的时候，觉得不管女神对奥德修斯和他的船员做过什么，使用过什么恶咒，但她也许喜欢过奥德修斯，然而奥德修斯并不属意于她，始终想要离去，她还是为他做出了忠告，教他规避风险，尽管她对于他来说一点也不重要。当时便觉得会记住喀尔刻。 anyway，我觉得歌词很明显是用的喀尔刻的故事了，体会着女神和奥德修斯的感情，在那烟波浩渺的海面，航船鼓动着白帆，离去的在身后，未来的在未来，迷醉青年的头脑中，除了药物的致幻，那震颤的痛苦，永恒的奔跑，她的身影不断闪过。奇怪的是，拥有给予愉悦的海洛因，歌曲听起来却带有一种迷醉的、消沉的、丧失的、却又麻木、几乎是冷漠的痛苦。然而因为是在迷醉之中，所以这生活的痛苦，爱情或青春或其他的失去，都变得不那么切肤，因为选择迷幻，就是将自己的身心交给了回避，交给了遗忘，交给了愉悦，never a frown，with golden brown。在golden brown，无需皱眉。也永远不要拒绝，golden brown。 不要误会，我并不一见到毒品就对这歌曲做低评价，反而有时候很喜欢体会这既愉悦又痛苦，获得与丧失之间、铭记与遗忘之间、清醒与麻木之间，那属于迷幻青年的面庞上的低微和延宕。有时很类似我的心境。 话说我这么大半夜的到底在这里说些什么跟自己不相关的事啊。。。睡了。

乐队是mirah with the black cat orchestra.专辑是03年的to all we stretch the open arm. 从这http://cdbaby.com/cd/blackcato4和这http://mp3.btbbt.com/Product/singer.aspx?singerid=20100看了下,翻译下: The Black Cat Orchestra是由一些音乐家组成的,他们在家工作(?),他们或者演奏无声电影的ost,或者演奏被淡忘的东欧传统舞曲,或者1960年代的pop country歌曲. 专辑to all we stretch the open arm中的歌曲是由mirah和The Black Cat Orchestra的成员来选择,组织和表演的.这些歌曲来自与富有争议,充满激情,和革命性意义地时代和地区,它们既是个人性地也是国际性地,既是历史性地也是现代性的.它们来自于Bob dylan,leonard cohen,stephen foster,kurt weill,bertold brecht,ann,fausto amodei,horacio guarany,和Mirah Yom Tov Zeitlyn.简单来说,它们就是曾经被称为protest song. 歌手Mirah Yom Tov Zeitlyn,唱片公司(环球音乐集团/Universal Music Group),生日1974.9.17.美国宾州费城人,她在K唱片公司旗下发行过多张唱片.她和The Microphones乐队的Phil Elvrum是好朋友,并曾合作过.另外她还和The Black Cat Orchestra合作过.mirah在费城郊区的一个叫做Bala Cynwyd的地方度过了童年的大部分时光,她是家中三个孩子中最小的.她后来搬去华盛顿的奥林匹亚并就读The Evergreen State College.她是犹太人,她的中间的名字在希伯来文中意为"好日子"或"圣洁的日子".她是名同性恋.她曾去过南美尤其是阿根廷,那里的音乐和文化深深地震动了她,这段经历在她的C'mon Miracle当中的几首歌中有反应.做为一个独曲表演者,她第一次组建乐队是04年末在一次"西南美国"旅行当中.乐队成员包括Nora Danielson(who is featured on recordings by the Mountain Goats, The Intima,Tara Jane O'Neil, Liarbird, & Young People),Dan Sasaki(Enemymine, Sedan, The Old Haunts), Themba Lewis(Liarbird, The Intima, Tara Jane O'Neil, Jackie-O Motherfucker), and Alex Yusimov (Duck Duck Gray Duck和其它).mirah之前曾是奥林匹亚一个完全由女孩组成的乐队the Drivers的成员之一. 昨天到今天我一直在听. 啥也不说了,上歌(豆瓣上没附件,原文中可以听). 歌词来自lyricsmania You gentlemen who think you have a mission To purge us of the seven deadly sins Should first sort out the basic food position Then start your preaching, that's where it begins You lot, who preach restraint and watch your waist as well Should learn for all time how the world is run However much you twist, whatever lies you tell Food is the first thing, morals follow on So first make sure that those, who now are starving Get proper helpings, when we all start carving What keeps mankind alive, the fact that millions Are daily tortured, stifled, punished, silenced, oppressed Mankind can keep alive, thanks to its brilliance At keeping its humanity repressed For once, you must not try to shirk the facts: Mankind is kept alive by bestial acts. You say the girls may strip with your permission (whoa!) You draw the line dividing art from sin So first sort out the basic food position Then start your preaching, that's where it begins You lot, who bank on your desires and our disgust Should learn for all time how the world is run Whatever lies you tell, however much you twist Food is the first thing, morals follow on So first make sure that those, who now are starving Get proper helpings, when we all start carving What keeps mankind alive, the fact that millions Are daily tortured, stifled, punished, silenced, oppressed Mankind can keep alive, thanks to its brilliance At keeping its humanity repressed For once, you must not try to shirk the facts Mankind is kept alive by bestial acts Mankind can keep alive, thanks to its brilliance At keeping its humanity repressed For once, you must not try to shirk the facts: Mankind is kept alive by bestial acts What's the use of holding out A work sore hand to catch some rain It turns up empty, all is dry And all you ever wanted was some rain Was some rain If heaven is the future Why is it that that you refuse to go There now with all you have You really should do more than just complain Just complain Such a rotten taste Is left when you don't think to say that It's just such a sorry waste To take the easy way out of the pain Of the pain When the end shines from the deep And all the hate and all the hell that history has released Would tremble before your valor if you'd Just get down on your knees And promise to all your children true That you will live in peace Where's the light to shine on me Oh, send me something, send me please Cleanse my body, close my eyes I'm naked and prepared to die In the starry atmosphere When all the questions disappear And pressure with a salty taste Exalts the tears that soak your face The door it opened slowly My father he came in I was nine years old And he stood so tall above me His blue eyes they were shining And his voice was very cold He said, "i've had a vision And you know I'm strong and holy I must do what i've been told." So he started up the mountain I was running, he was walking And his axe was made of gold Well, the trees they got much smaller The lake a lady's mirror We stopped to drink some wine Then he threw the bottle over Broke a minute later And he put his hand on mine Thought I saw an eagle But it might have been a vulture I never could decide Then my father built an altar He looked once behind his shoulder He knew I would not hide You who build these altars now To sacrifice these children You must not do it anymore A scheme is not a vision And you never have been tempted By a demon or a god You who stand above them now Your hatchets blunt and bloody You were not there before When I lay upon a mountain And my father's hand was trembling With the beauty of the word And if you call me brother now Forgive me if I inquire "Just according to whose plan?" When it all comes down to dust I will kill you if I must I will help you if I can When it all comes down to dust I will help you if I must I will kill you if I can And mercy on our uniform Man of peace or man of war The peacock spreads his fan Aren't you going to come along? Aren't you going to fight? Aren't you going to hold your hands up to the light? If you feel an emptiness, if you want to hide Think about the blood that's pumping keeping you alive We've got it all worked out, the plans all made If we believe in the fight then we're all saved It's gonna hurt for a while but it would anyway Let us stand resolute with our voices raised We have a right to insist to be free and brave If that should cease to exist i'd throw my heart away It's a long long way to the promised land So try where you are, do what you can You belong to what you understand So teach yourself how to demand the monument that you deserve For rising up in a beaten down world Aren't you going to come along? Aren't you going to fight? Aren't you going to hold your hands up to the light? If you feel an emptiness, if you want to hide Think about the blood that's pumping keeping you alive Dear landlord Please don't put a price on my soul My burden is heavy And my dreams are beyond control When that steam-boat whistle blows I'm gonna give you all i've got to give And i do hope you receive it, well Depending on the way you feel that you live Dear landlord Please heed these words that i speak I know you've suffered much But in this you are not so unique All of us at times, we might work too hard Too heavy, too fast and too much And anyone can fill their life up with things They can see but just cannot touch Dear landlord Please don't dismiss my case I'm not about to argue I'm not about to move to no other place Now each of us has our own special gift And you know this was meant to be true And if you don't underestimate me I won't underestimate you Questa mattina, mi son svegliata Oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao Questa mattina, mi son svegliata E ho trovato l'invasor Oh partigiano, portami via Oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao Oh partigiano, portami via Che mi sento di morir E se muoio da partigiano Oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao E se muoio da partigiano Tu mi devi seppellir E seppellire lassá1 in montagna Oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao Seppellire lassá1 in montagna Sotto l'ombra di un bel fior E le genti che passeranno Oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao E le genti che passeranno E diranno che bel fior E' questo il fiore del partigiano Oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao E' questo il fiore del partigiano Morto per la libertá How Sweetly Friendship How sweetly friendship binds Our hearts in brother love With kindness of forgiving minds Life's sweetest pleasures prove For fled our hate and harm No fall seeks us to kill To all we stretch the open arm Of welcome and good will Let us pause in life's pleasures and count its many tears While we all sup sorrow with the poor There's a song that will linger forever in our ears Oh, hard times, come again no more 'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary Hard times, hard times, come again no more Many days you have lingered all around my door Oh, hard times, come again no more While we seek mirth and beauty and music to light the way There are frail forms fainting at the door Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say Oh, hard times, come again no more 'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary Hard times, hard times, come again no more Many days you have lingered all around my door Oh, hard times, come again no more There's a pale drooping maiden who toils her life away With a worn out heart, whose better days are o'er Though her voice it would be merry, 'tis sighing all the day Oh, hard times, come again no more 'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary Hard times, hard times, come again no more Many days you have lingered all around my door Oh, hard times, come again no more Tis a sigh that is wafted across the troubled wave, Tis a wail that is heard upon our shore Tis a dirge that is murmured around those lonely graves Oh hard times come again no more 'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary Hard times, hard times, come again no more Many days you have lingered all around my door Oh, hard times, come again no more 原文载于http://jessiestone.blogbus.com/logs/12870258.html

1. It's a real life, It's so special, You had a special rate for me. The thing you gave off, It may have killed me, You took away the rest of me. So how come now you're seeing, How come now you make your leaving From fixing other people's fears, Is it this I'm running from. You untangled What you thought were Special messages from me, But it's a real life, I should have told you These rates were never meant for you. So how come now you're seeing, How come now you're make-believing That fixing other people's fears Somehow makes you calm. 2. She stays up all night thinking Those bells they bring a warning. It seems like nothing's working, It's too late. Don't close your eyes 'cause you know who you'll see there, She won't stay for you 'cause this thing will get her, And don't raise the lights when her days are spent sleeping, Opinions are good if they outlast the truth. So say I. Calling out her name, You've been through this and now it's always. Can't call it a fever, a failure, it's much more, Don't say it for sure when you don't know her wishes. You're out there believing you're making a difference, Your interest is low you avoid all things vital, Defined by your lack by your things you're so so-so, See dreaming is good because it outlasts us all. So say I. 3. I don't know why she should sing, Saw you lift her off the sea again. It took ten men to drag her up the beach, She cried and railed against the meat, Looks like she could use a day To find the best way to go. She took it upon herself To go back where they left her fortune, Dancing round a length of rope She tied it to the biggest boulder going down. And she died as the tide came up, She died as the tide came up, She saw the lights, She saw the lights as her luck went. 4. This could be, this could be the day, This could be, this could be the hour, I feel hate, This could feel, this could feel like that, I feel hate, Why? I saw you smile before you chose to flee like that, I feel hate, Oh this could feel, this could feel like that, I feel hate, Why? 5. Airsong, Airsong so sad. You took so long, You sit around and sigh, It takes a leap To lead the way I can't. Do what you do Away from me so hard, Whatever way You trip me up I'm dead. Airsong, Airsong so sad. Airsong, Airsong so sad, You trip me up Whatever way you can, You realize Away from me too late That what we did Would never see an end, It's easy to Believe it was a sign, Come on out and see my face oh god. Airsong, Airsong so sad. 6. Did you win did you lose Do you care that you spent so long here prevaricating, It's so clear you're in doubt, You sound wise when you're not, You're so far off it's not your call I ache. Shy away. Shy away. I fell for this, that you fell for me. A relief now it's said A relief when I saw her in your head doing a waltz in there, You hide things in there You hide things from those who really cared, did I ever. She took so long to decide how she's hiding away, Shy away. Shy away. I fell for this, that you fell for me. Shy away. Shy away. I fell for this, that you fell for me. 7. Getting to your house Stumbling down the hill Lurching up your steps Reaching for Seeing you through the hole You let me in. I carried in my life You never asked how far I Had to come to sit with you in your Dirty but nice English home So full of things except The way forward. Most of all I don't miss Your two black holes Most of all I don't miss Your empty face Most of all I don't miss The disappointing emptiness. The only thing I miss Is all of you. 8. It's a load off my mind, It's a craze that I let go today, When you laugh with me I ask for nothing 'cause I fail to you. Thing we like to repeat, So they say again You ask why I'm laughing today Let's begin again I hear you say, When you laugh with me I ask for nothing 'cause I fail to you. The days have gone the nights I'll fight to you the dream I said I'd mention I left a way to waste those words I'd like to think I'll say to you. Then you call me and I feel only nothing 'cause I fail to you. 9. I tried to tone it down I tried to see things your way. We wish, We wish We could go back and mend all Those things We wish We could go back and say all those things. We got as far as my name, Shouting it back didn't last, We wish, We wish We could go back and mend all Those things We wish We could go back and say all those things, Four letter love. Come on you all why don't you say say say say say say say say, Come on you all why don't you say say say say say say say say, Come on you all why don't you say say say say say say say say, Calling my name 'cause it's over Calling my name 'cause it's over We wish, We wish We could go back and mend all Those things We wish We could go back and say all those things. We wish, We wish We could go back and mend all Those things We wish We could go back and say all those things.
