重新起飞吧
曾有人在评论《长江七号》时说过,连周星驰都放弃了他招牌式的搞笑风格,这世间还有什么能是永恒的呢?那么大概这句话也可以同样用在Keane身上,连从不在专辑中用吉他的Keane也用起了吉他,这个世间还有什么会是永恒的呢?因为他们素来是以完全放弃使用吉他而著称的,以前的几首歌曲中听起来像是吉他的声音也是用键盘作出的音效,但是这次的新专辑中竟也尝试了从未用过的吉他。
有一点失落,这是我第一遍听这张专辑时的感受,毕竟我对他们第二张专辑《Under The Iron Sea》印象太深刻。但即便如此,我也并不敢也不能冒然就将这个第一观点说出口,所以,当我认真听了四遍这张专辑之后,我要说,我觉得应该将它单独作为Keane的一张唱片来看,也就是说,不该拿它与之过去的任何作品作比较。
一个乐队或是一个歌手做出改变的时候,总会有倒戈声出现,这是再正常不过的现象。但你怎知原来的他/他们就是真正的他/他们?尤其像是Keane在经历过因主唱吸毒事件几近濒临解散的情形之后,再次聚集在一起,出现如今这样一张与以往全然不同的专辑也是无可厚非。固然也不能说这算是一个崭新的起点,但至少也可谓是一次重头再来的勇气和创新。
当然,不可避免的是,在如今复古风潮吹得无比强劲的势头之下,约莫谁也不能免俗,所以便有了专辑中的第一首《Spiralling》。看来他们想要释放的决心的确是很大的。不过,像是键盘、合成器等招牌武器还是继续延用着。
整体而言,比起上一张这张专辑没有那么沉郁的感觉。打住吧,我说过不能拿它与以往专辑比较的。
无论如何,Keane在我心中是一支份量很重的乐队,排在我个人喜爱的brit-pop乐队TOP10之列。
个人倒是比较喜欢专辑最后一首《Love Is The End》,从这首歌里边,也似乎能听到Keane过去的影子。听着这歌的时候,感动得几乎要哭了。
Keane-《Love Is The End》(歌词)
Now is the time of our comfort and plenty
These are the days we've been working for
Nothing can touch us and nothing can harm us
No, nothing goes wrong anymore
Singing a song with your feet on the dashboard
The cigarette streaming into the night
These are the things that I want to remember
I want to remember you by
It won't come again
Cos love is the end
Oh no, my friend
Love is the end
I took off my clothes and I ran to the ocean
Looking for somewhere to start a-new
And when I was drowning in that holy water
All I could think of was you
Woah, my friend
Love is the end
So lets not pretend
Cos love is the end
Take it back, don't let it die
Or rage against the fallen night
Cos I still do, depend on you
So don't say those words, you wrung me through
Woah, oh oh
Love is the end
So lets not pretend
Cos love is the end
So I tread the only road
The only road I know
Nowhere to go, but home
Nowhere to go
Maybe our time is up
But still you can't look back
But all the principles of love
Don't say those words
Don't say those words
Don't say those words
Don't say those words
