真好,你又自由了。
五星推荐Sam Smith新专《Gloria》(为表敬意甚至都没有称呼骚姆,以后都不会了),专辑的介绍很短,写到「以繁复、前卫之声剖白自我、还原真实,一展多元身份认同的叙述张力」,从头到尾听完一遍,Sam Smith不仅做到了,而且仿佛实现了自我的凤凰涅槃。去年开始社交网络上的他穿衣大胆、身材有些反弹,但当你听完这张专辑后,你就会明白,甚至替他开心,真好,他自由了。
更为精细的是,首单UNholy和二单Gimme之外的歌曲,走心更多,没有前两首那么凌厉,这感觉像是一波突然而来的反转,本想在舞池中忘乎所以,却没想到酒过三巡,找到自己。
喜欢专封,化繁为简,突出自己,「戴珍珠耳环的少女」——「珍珠耳环」是美和自信,「少女」是勇敢和自我认知。
Love me more
推荐,走心。
Sam Smith将自己最近越来越自由越来越自在的原因都写在了这首歌里。
Have you ever felt like being somebody else
Feeling like the mirror isn't good for your health
Every day I'm trying not to hate myself
But lately it's not hurtin' like it did before
Maybe I am learning how to love me more
No God
推荐,走心。
Just because it's your opinion doesn't make it right
Hurting Interlude
可以是说超级用心的Interlude了~
Having to lie I feel is the saddest
And the ugliest part of being a homosexual
When you have your first bad love experience for instance
You can't go to your brother or sister and say "I'm hurting"
Lose You
强推舞曲!感觉传达的是「当我们爱一个人可以有多勇敢」。
Baby I'm not ready to lose you yet
Yeah I tried but you know I can't forget
I'm begging you ooh ooh ooh
I'm not ready to lose you
Perfect
喜欢,走心。「我并不是100分的自己,但即便是这样的我,也是最棒的我」,关于「自爱」。Jessie Reyez的参与有1+1>3的效果。
I'm not perfect but I'm worth it
I'm not perfect but I'm working on it
I go up I go down I go all the way around
I'm crazy through and through
I wear my flaws like jewelry
I'm not perfect but I'm worth it
How To Cry
温柔却充满力量,宛若自白。「那些别人口中不值得哭的小事,炼成了桎梏自由的枷锁」。
'Cause nobody taught you how to cry
But somebody showed you how to lie
All the feelings that you don't show
Are all of the reasons to let go
I get that it's deep
You've never been free
You've never been satisfied
And you blame that on me
The pain you can't see
The anger you hold inside
I keep secrets from my friends at home
So embarrassed I've been so alone
God I'm over me protecting you
Six Shots
这是《7 rings》姐妹篇嘛,哈哈哈~我是无人理解的黑暗款,上头又甜美。
You say you need me but you don't know me
I'm the dark type forever lonely
Hit so strong but taste so sweet
Gimme
Give me what I want
在完成认识自我后的勇敢追爱
1+1+1>10。
Dorothy's Interlude
一首三言诗。
How's this for a feather
Over the rainbow
And the gay power
I'm Not Here To Make Friends
对,根本不想交朋友,就是来炸场的,强推舞曲。看了MV预告,浮夸的装束有点劝退又有点期待,百分百视觉盛宴,副歌的I need a la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la旋律很棒,很好听。
Gloria
「只要我们是朋友,其他的都不重要」,「如果这些都不重要,那我们是不是就可以成为朋友」。
Demos on my shoulder
Monsters in my head
Shadows in the water
Will you be my friend?
The world revolves around me
As I lay in my bed
Dreaming of more,more
Who we love
和黄老板的惊喜之作,也是一首暖心的歌。「我们所爱之人,一定是会让我们重回自由的那一个」。
It's not wrong
To want the world for someone
It's not a feeling you can run from
'Cause we love who we love
So let go
You don't know better than your heart knows
Whether they're here or long gone
We love who we love
Yeah, we love who we love
Footprints along the sand
Whispers of sweet romance
Sound of a wedding band
Holding hands in the street
No need to be discreet
Finally feeling free
The universe has pulled us closer
I trust whatever's brought me here to you
You can never lose
If love is what you feel then
Disc 2的五首live真是选的都很棒,时至今日听到Stay with me和I'm not the only one还是会有感动,这可能就是创作的长久生命力吧;Too good at goodbyes现场版简直太好听,都去听啊!还有很喜欢的Dancing with a stranger~
落在一个人身上的雪,我们不可能全部看见;但好在我们可以感受到他的自由,美人之美,美美与共。
