北京的9百万自行车
呵呵,相信别人不如相信自己的耳朵,nine million bicycles再次印证了这句话。
很无意的听到了这首nine million bicycles,说咱们北京有9百万自行车确实低估了咱们的“实力”当然歌中Katie Melua自己也说了,这只是她的一个猜想而已,没有人说这是真的,关键的是人家要强调的后面那句,但是I know that I will always be with you.呵呵,不错的想法吧,再看下边继续的反衬,这个世界上有60亿的人,这让我感觉到很渺小,但是,我知道这其中我唯一最最最爱的人就是你。看看,看看,这话说的,你说哪个男人听了不彻底的被这甜密密给淹死了。(当然也可能是个boy给她写的情诗—.—!)而且呢其中的旋律也恰到好处的表现了这种幽默下的甜蜜,执着和自然。
但听到这首歌,我脑中首先映像的却是94,95年之前北京街头景象,那时,道路还没这么宽,车还没这么多,楼还没这高,这么密,人穿的还没这么花哨,也还没现在这么“鞠躬尽瘁”,大街上跑的还主要是黄色的大发,当然,Katie Melua幻想的这9百万自行车也在其中穿梭着。但很有意思的是,似乎那时人们的生活恰恰和这首歌的节奏很相称,简单,轻缓,自然和甜蜜。当然这些也是我的a guess, No-one can ever say it's true,呵呵。
这么喜欢这首歌,我自然会查查这个Katie Melua的背景资料。今年仅仅21岁的Katie出生在前苏联的格鲁吉亚,8岁举家来到爱尔兰的贝尔法斯特,后又到英国进行深造,既是一位歌手同时也是位词曲创作者。这其中她肯定经历了很多,而这种经历我想也让她得到了很多的磨练,使其能有着很多花瓶女歌手所不具备的气质。Katie正式发曲出片仅是2003年底2004年初的事情,并且一炮打红,并得与Norah Jones,Eva Cassidy相提并论。正如Katie自己所说,她的这种爵士蓝调,民谣的音乐风格深受Queen、Joni Mitchell、Bob Dylan和印度音乐及爱尔兰民谣等多类乐风的影响。这么小的年纪就如此的才华横溢,确实让人十分的钦佩,对于她的前景我想也很值得人们看好。
There are nine million bicycles in Beijing
That's a fact,
It's a thing we can't deny
Like the fact that I will love you till I die.
We are twelve billion light years from the edge,
That's a guess,
No-one can ever say it's true
But I know that I will always be with you.
I'm warmed by the fire of your love everyday
So don't call me a liar,
Just believe everything that I say
There are six BILLION people in the world
More or less
and it makes me feel quite small
But you're the one I love the most of all
[INTERLUDE]
We're high on the wire
With the world in our sight
And I'll never tire,
Of the love that you give me every night
There are nine million bicycles in Beijing
That's a Fact,
it's a thing we can't deny
Like the fact that I will love you till I die
And there are nine million bicycles in Beijing
And you know that I will love you till I die!
