歌词+简介,华丽摇滚及其他
看过电影接近半年后我开始听这张原声专辑,并对Glam Rock产生了浓厚的兴趣。
我顺着专辑曲目一首一首的查找相关信息,这19首歌几乎为我展示Glam Rock的历史,因为内容非常丰富我想把这些东西和歌词一起整理一下。
关于这部电影我就不多介绍了,只提一下电影名字的由来。《Velvet Goldmine》原来是David Bowie的歌曲,录制于1972年,那年他出版了几乎被认为他最成功的专辑《The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars》,可是这首歌并没有被收录到那张专辑里,一直到1975年英国再版《Space Oddity》时才被作为B-Side的一首歌曲被收录。歌词里又很多同性恋暗示的描写,迫于社会压力,加上当时人们对此这种事还没那么感兴趣,后来Bowie不得不重写了这首歌。尽管如此,这首歌在Bowie的歌迷中还是非常受欢迎,并且后来多次被收录在他的精选专辑中。
众所周知的电影是根据David Bowie和Iggy Pop的故事改编的,这个电影名字也是一个暗示。
1 Brian Eno - Needle In The Camel's Eye
Those who know
They don't let it show
They just give you one long life
And you go, oh oh, oh oh
Goes to show
How winds blow
The weather's fine
And I feel so so-so, so
Birds of prey
With too much to say
Oh what could be my destiny
Another rainy day
Why ask why?
For by the by and by
All mysteries are just more
Needles in the camel's eye
Those who know
They don't let it show
They just give you one long life
And you go, oh oh, oh oh
Why ask why?
For by the by and by
All mysteries are just more
Needles in the camel's eye
这首歌选自Brian Eno1974年的第一张个人专辑《Here Come The Warm Jets》,并且《Baby's on Fire》也是翻唱自这张专辑。
豆瓣连接:http://music.douban.com/subject/1441369/
据说这张专辑参与制作的包括Roxy Music所有旧队友除Bryan Ferry外。其实Brian Eno是Roxy Music最初成立时的键盘手并负责作品的电气化处理(这似乎也暗示了他后来成为一个氛围音乐大师和王牌制作人)。
这里就不得不提一下Roxy Music了,这只乐队被认为是Glam Rock的始祖之一,虽然当时只有Eno一人化妆作性别模糊的中性装扮,但他们令人目眩的奇异服饰和迷幻浪漫的优美旋律使后人同样把他们归入了华丽摇滚范畴,并且在《天鹅绒金矿》的这张原声里也收录了他们的一首《Virginia Plain》和几首翻唱自他们的歌曲《Ladytron》《2HB》《Bitter's End》。这几首歌出自他们1972年的第一张同名专辑,当时Brian Eno还在。另外还有一首《Bitter-Sweet》出自他们的第三章专辑《Country Life》。
Roxy Music出了两个摇滚巨星——Brian Eno和Bryan Ferry。一个成功的乐队很难同时容纳两个天才式的人物,所以Eno才会因为和Bryan不合而离开乐队,在Eno走后Roxy Music也自然成为了Bryan的个人乐队。Roxy Music在1983年解散,Bryan Ferry仍然活跃在舞台上。
话说回来,单就这首《Needle In The Camel's Eye》来讲并不怎么好听倒是。
2 Shudder To Think - Hot One
Well, you're the grand one你是傲慢狂放的
Have you noticed?这让你很被注意
When you walk in all the fairy boys are very nervous当走进漂亮男孩堆里
时你很害羞
Well, my starship doesn't want me 好吧,我的飞船不想要我
And neither does his world两者都不是他的世界
I'm glad I caught you on my view screen, sailor我很高兴我在我的视线屏幕里抓住了你,水手
You're the grand one您是傲慢狂放的
Come and court me来向我求婚
'cause this wooing is what I'm wanting因为这求爱就是我想要的
When my spacesuit comes to warm me当我的飞船来温暖我
And hold me like a god然后像神一样接住我
I am the captain of the gravity, Maxwell我变成了引力的首领,麦克斯韦(人名)
Everywhere I see your faces我看见了你脸上的任何一个地方
Hot one
From a starship over Venus to the Sun用飞船从金星到太阳去
But it's a crime!但是这是犯罪
You're mistaken!你犯了个错误
Momentary seizure of love - oh love这夺取的短暂的爱
Well, you're the grand one你是傲慢狂放的
But darling, I'm a mess但是亲爱的,我是个混乱的人
I've got human minds we can form我能获得人类的理智
But the boys are not impressed但是这样的男孩不会给人留下影响的
When my spacesuit comes to warm me当我的飞船来温暖我
Just hold me like a god然后像神一样接住我
I'll be the captain of the gravity, Maxwell我变成了引力的首领,麦克斯韦(人名)
I see your faces in the strangest places我看见了你的脸中陌生的部分
Hot one
From a starship over Venus to the Sun用飞船从金星到太阳去
But it's a crime!但是这是犯罪
You're mistaken!你犯了个错误
Momentary seizure of love - oh love这夺取的短暂的爱
Hot one
From a starship over Venus to the Sun用飞船从金星到太阳去
But it's a drag!但是这是令人厌倦的
You're so mean!你是卑鄙的
Destroying my belief in, in love - oh love这夺取的短暂的爱
这首歌是整张专辑里我最喜欢的一首了,我怀疑电影里用的是Shudder To Think的原声,那声音和Jonathan Rhys Meyers倒是有几份相近,性感、有磁性。歌词里有些Gay的暗示,音乐风骚而又华丽。
Shudder To Think成立于1986年,音乐风格柔和了朋克、华丽摇滚和歌剧,奇异而又富有魅力。但似乎他们没有专心搞摇滚,后来把精力都投入到电影原声的创作上了(所以《Velvet Goldmine》的原声因为有了他们而更完美)。
3 Placebo - 20th Century Boy
Friends say it's fine
Friends say it's good
Everybody says it's just like Robin Hood
I move like a rat
Charge like a cat
Sting like a bee
Babe, I'm gonna be your man
Well it's plain to see
You were meant for me,yeah
Yeah, I'm your toy
Your 20th Century boy
Friends say it's fine
Friends say it's good
Everybody says it's just like Robin Hood
Fly like a plane
Drive like a car
Hold out your hand
Babe, I'm gonna be your man
And it's pain to see
you were meant for me,yeah
I'm your boy
Your 20th Century boy
20th Century boy
I wanna be your toy
20th Century boy
I wanna be your toy
Friends say it's fine
Friends say it's good
Everbody says it's just like Rock 'n' Roll
I move like a cat
Charge like a rat
Sting like a bee
Babe, I'm gonna be your man
And it's pain to see
you were meant for me,yeah
I'm your boy
Your 20th Century boy
20th Century boy
I wanna be your toy
20th Century toy
I wanna be your boy
关于Placebo我就不废话了,他们在发行了第一张同名专辑后迅速窜红,顺便在电影《天鹅绒金矿》中过了把当电影明星的瘾,所以原声中收录了他们这首翻唱歌曲。
这首歌翻唱自华丽摇滚始祖之一T-Rex。这张原声专辑还收录了T-Rex的一首《Diamond Meadows》。
4 The Venus In Furs - 2 HB
Oh I was moved by your screen dream
Celluloid pictures living
Your death could not kill our love for you
Take two people romantic
Smoky nightclub situation
Your cigarette traces a ladder
Here is looking at you kid
Celebrate years
Here is looking at you kid
Wipe away tears
Long time since we’re together
Now I hope it’s forever
Ideal love flies away now
White jacket moon black tie wings too
You gave her away to the hero
Words don’t express my meaning
Notes could not spell out the score
But finding not keeping the lesson
Here is looking at you kid
Hard to forget
Here is looking at you kid
At least not yet
Your memory stays
It lingers ever
Will fade away never
喔,你的梦想使我感动
赛璐珞放映出生活的画面
你的死不能抹杀我们对你的爱
就像两个人的浪漫故事
在夜总会中相遇的情景
你的香烟勾勒出一座阶梯
这里有人在看着你
值得庆祝的年代
这里有人在看着你
擦去眼泪
我们在一起以来过去了很长的时间
现在我希望是永远
这里有人在看着你
难以忘怀
这里有人在看着你
至少还没有忘记
我的记忆留在了这里
它永远留下
永远不会减退
永远不会减退
永远不会减退
永远不会减退
首先解释一下The Venus In Furs这个乐队。The Venus In Furs的阵容非常强大,是1998年因为《天鹅绒金矿》这部电影而临时组成的,成员包括Radiohead的Thom York、Jonny Greenwood,原Roxy Music萨克斯风手Andy Mackay,Suede吉他手Bernard Butler,英国另类民谣歌手David Gray,电影配乐大师Carter Burwell和在电影中扮演Brian Slade的Jonathan Rhys Meyers。原声碟里收录了5首这只临时乐队的歌曲,全部是翻唱,另外还有一首被标记为The Venus In Furs翻唱自Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel的《Sabastian》由Jonathan Rhys Meyers演唱,在电影中出现过,据说因为经费问题没有单独录制,所以没收录到原声专辑里。(豆瓣上有一个The Venus In Furs的条目,收录的正是这5首歌,不过我没找到正确的封面。)
乐队的这个名字是取自The Vervelt Underground的第一张专辑里的《Venus In Furs》,这应该也是一种致敬。
他们的这5首翻唱歌曲中有三首翻唱自Roxy Music,都是由Thom York演唱,能看出Thom对Roxy Music的喜爱。
关于《2HB》,这首歌是翻唱自Roxy Music的首张同名专辑,歌名叫2HB不是儿逼,也和铅笔型号无关,这首歌是向好莱坞导演Humphrey Bogart(曾执导《卡萨布兰卡》)的致敬,2HB=to Humphrey Bogart,歌中还引用了《卡萨布兰卡》中的经典台词“Here’s looking at you, kid”。
这个版本的演唱者是Thom Youk,能听出他那一贯神经质的唱腔。
5 Wylde Rattz - T.V. Eye
Lord
See that cat
Yeah I do mean you
See that cat
Yeah I do mean you
She got a TV eye on me
She got a TV eye
She got a TV eye on me, oh
See that cat
Down on her back
See that cat
Down on her back
She got a TV eye on me
She got a TV eye
She got a TV eye on me, oh
See that cat
Yeah I love her so
See that cat
Yeah I love her so
She got a TV eye on me
She got a TV eye
She got a TV eye on me, oh
Right on, right on, right on
See that cat
Yeah I love her so
See that cat
Yeah I love her so
She got a TV eye on me
She got a TV eye
She got a TV eye on me, oh
Wylde Rattz是电影中Curt Wild(Ewan McGregor饰)的虚拟乐队的名称,电影外这只临时乐队的成员几乎都来自美国摇滚乐队,朋克鼻祖The Stooges的Ron Asheton,硬核摇滚乐队Sonic Youth的Thurston Moore和Steve Shelley,朋克乐队Minuteman的Mike Watt,地下摇滚乐队Gumball的Don Fleming,Grunge乐队Mudhony的Mark Arm。由Ewan McGregor演唱,旋律简单,朋克范十足。Ewan是有一副出了名的好嗓子,没想到唱这种风格的音乐也有模有样的。
翻唱自The Stooges第二张专辑《Fun House》(1970)的歌曲。
《TV Eye》被认为是朋克音乐的前导曲,Iggy Pop也被称为朋克教父,他的The Stooges在1971年就解散了。乐队的两张专辑虽然销量极差,却仍旧成为了摇滚乐的经典教科书,甚至被视为朋克摇滚的开山之作。
在那之后不久华丽摇滚流行起来,David Bowie发行了让他轰动一时的《The Man Who Sold The World》,就像电影里的情节,David作为Iggy Pop的歌迷,找到了他并鼓励继续演唱事业。《天鹅绒金矿》就是根据他们之间的故事改编的,电影里饰演他的Ewan McGregor看起来特别像科特·科本,巧的是Iggy Pop的音乐不但对70年代的朋克影响深远,为90年代大行其道的Grunge也写下了典范。
据说David Bowie对电影暗示了他当年和Iggy Pop的这段感情此事相当不爽,所以他拒绝自己的音乐被放在电影里(虽然众所周知这部电影就是根据他的事改编的),这不能不说是一种遗憾。
6 Shudder To Think - Ballad Of Maxwell Demon
Got tired of wasting gas living above the planet
Mister, show me the way to earth
The boys of Quadrant 44 with their vicious metal hounds
Never come around here no more
Sometimes I wonder if I'm still alive
Six feet down at age 25
Maxwell Leather Demon rock hand jive
I came down like water
For the age of solar
Hail to the father
Kiss your sons and daughters
Goodbye goodbye
Steam steady roller
Lady tongue controller
Ten feet tall, better walk it back down
Despite the great duress, always get off 'cause damn it!
It's the only sure-fire way to win
Your poison doesn't hurt me, no
Tender wine disguised in a milk-fat fair kiddie show
I'm here to celebrate the one below
At last I've heard from good God above
As the slap on my ass by a lipstick-kissed elbow glove
I came down like water
For the age of solar
Hail to the father
Kiss your sons and daughters
Goodbye goodbye
Steam steady roller
Lady tongue controller
Ten feet tall, better walk it back down
I came down like water
For the age of solar
I came down like water
Kiss your sons and daughters
Ten feet tall, better walk it back down
另一首Shudder To Think的歌,华丽而又奇异。
7 Grant Lee Buffalo - The Whole Shebang
Darling, you can't live your life
Singing songs in exile
You were born for stardom's crown
And not for self-denial
So don't you close the door on fate
When she comes to call
And tell her that you'll join her there
At the masquerader's ball
Funny how some people never love at all
We'll take the whole shebang
All or nothing, anything
Ecstasy's the birthright of our gang
We'll take the whole shebang
Free your heart of guilt and shame
Come and claim what's yours
The whole shebang
Nothing on this earth could hold you prisoner, my dear
Except for contemplations evil brother, love is feared
But love is extra-terrestrial
And love falls from the stars
Like Maxwell Demon's silver disk
Into this world of ours
Funny how we keep on loving, true love power
We'll take the whole shebang
All or nothing, anything
Ecstasy's the birthright of our gang
We'll take the whole shebang
Free your heart of guilt and shame
Come and claim what's yours
The whole shebang
Kick up your heels and paint your face
Wave goodbye to yesteryear
We can swing in outer space
Or from the chandeliers
Though sometimes it breaks my heart, I hide my tears
We'll take the whole shebang
All or nothing, anything
Ecstasy's the birthright of our gang
We'll take the whole shebang
Free your heart of guilt and shame
Come and claim what's yours
The whole shebang
Grant Lee Buffalo是一直来自加州的另类乡村民谣乐队,1993年以处女专辑《Fuzzy》一鸣惊人,其音乐编排细腻。乐队1998年发行了第四张专辑后解散。
8 Ladytron - The Venus in Furs
You've got me girl on the run around run around
You've got me all around town
You've got me girl on the run around
And it's getting me down, getting me down
Lady if you want to find a lover
Then you look no further
For I'm gonna be your only
Searching at the start of the season
And my only reason
Is that I'll get to you
I'll find some way of connection
Hiding my intention
Then I'll move up close to you
I'll use you and I'll confuse you
And then I'll lose you
But still you won't suspect me
女孩,你令我东奔西跑东奔西跑
你令我跑遍了整个城市
女孩,你令我东奔西跑我很沮丧
女士,如果你想找一个爱人
那你不用看得很远
因为我很适合你
在季节开始搜寻吧
我唯一考虑的
就是要接近你
我要找到这段关系的起点
隐藏我的意图
然后我要更接近你
利用你
接着迷惑你
然后我会沉溺于你
你仍然不会怀疑我
翻唱自华丽摇滚乐队Roxy Music的第一张同名专辑,由Thom York演唱。
这首歌非常有名,据说当时Ferry让Brian Eno造一种“感觉在月球上行走”的声音,Eno就用他的EMS VCS3合成器创造出了后来广泛被采用的"Lunacy"声效,而Ferry低柔潜声的合唱,在日后亦是成为了他的招牌。对于此歌,有人评价道“包括 Roxy Music自己在内,后世很少有人能写出如此完美的歌了,深刻的歌词,美妙的演绎,动人的声音,即使把编曲单独抽取出来,每个乐器的每段都是一段漂亮的Solo”。据说就连David Bowie都偷偷录制了翻唱版本,打算收在自己的专辑中,而后世对这首歌的无数致敬中,我们最熟悉的,或许就是同样来自英格兰的同名电音乐队了。
9 Pulp - We Are The Boys
Ooh We are the boyz
And we are class
At getting trashed
So make some noize
We are the boyz
We are the lads
We sleep with slags
We nick their fags
We got no choice
We are the boyz
Oh we are the boyz
We dont ask why
Because were alive
We are the boyz
We are the boyz
Were in the place
So shut yer face
You got no choice
We are the boyz
We are the guys
Were getting high
While youre getting by
So just make some noize
Cos we are the boyz
Oh we are the boyz
And we dont ask why
Cos were always right
Because were alive
Oh we are the boyz!
We are the boyz
And dont look now
Cos were coming down
Dont make no noize
Cos we are the boyz
Now we are the men
And that was then
It wont happen again
But we had no choice
Cos were the boyz
Oh we were the boyz
But were not any more
Not now were so mature
Now weve got insured
Because were not so sure
No were not so sure
Oh no were not so sure
Not so sure
Not so sure as we were
When we were the boyz
We were the boyz
Oh, we were the boyz
Cmon, were still the boyz
Were still the boyz
Oh, were still the boyz
Oh cmon, we are the boyz
We are the boyz
Oh, we are the boyz.
Pulp虽然作为九十年代Britpop运动中最重要的乐队之一,其实早在1978年就成立了,只是一直到了94年才凭借专辑《His And Hers》为人瞩目。他们成立时华丽摇滚的热潮还没完全退去,所以我们有理由相信华丽摇滚对他们产生了很大的影响。其实从他们光怪陆离的曲风和主唱Jarvis Cooker红艳的嘴唇也能看出来华丽摇滚在他们身上的影子。
《We Are The Boys》收录在他们《This Is Hardcore》的Deluxe Edition版本中,原来好像是一首B-Side歌曲。
10 Roxy Music - Virginia Plain
Make me a deal and make it straight
All signed and sealed I'll take it
To Robert E. Lee I'll show it
I hope and pray he don't blow it 'cause
We've been around a long time just try try tryin' to
Make make the big time...
Take me on a roller coaster
Take me for an airplane ride
Take me for a six days wander but don't you
Don't you throw away my pride aside besides
What's real and make believe
Baby Jane's in Acapulco
We're flyin' down to Rio
Throw me a line I'm sinking fast
Clutching at straws can't make it
Havana sound we're trying hard edge the hipster jiving
Last picture show's down the drive-in
You're so sheer you're so chic
Teenage rebel of the week
Flavors of the mountain streamline
Midnight blue casino floors
Dance the cha-cha through til sunrise
Open up exclusive doors oh wow!
Just like flamingos look the same
So me and you, just we two got to reach for something new
Far beyond the pale horizon
Some place near the desert strand
Where my Studebaker takes me
That's where I'll make my stand but wait
Can't you see that Holzer mane
What's her name Virginia Plain
Roxy Music1972年第一张同名专辑里的歌。
11 Teenage Fanclub & Donna Matthews - Personality Crisis
Well we can't take it this week
and her friends don't want another speech
hoping for a better day to hear what she's got to say
all about that Personality Crisis you got it while it was hot
but now frustration and heartache is what you got
(that's why they talk about Personality)
But now your tryin to be some no you got to do some
wanna be someone who cow wow wows
but you think about the times you did, they took every ounce
when it sure got to be a shame when you start to scream and shout
you got to contradict all those times you were butterflyin' about
you were butterflyin' all about that
Personality Crisis you got it while it was hot
but now frustration and heartache is what you got
And you're a prima ballerina on a spring afternoon
change on into the wolfman howlin' at the moon
hooowwwl
all about that Personality Crisis you got it while
it was hot
but now frustration and heartache is what you got
now with all the crossin fingers that mother nature says
your mirrors get jammed up with all your friends
that personality everything starts to bend
Personality when your mind starts to bend
of a friend, of a friend
Personality wondering how celebrities ever met
look and find out on television
Personality Crisis you got it while it was hot
frustration and heartache is all you got don't you worry
Personality Crisis please don't cry
it's just a Personality Crisis please don't stop
because you walk a Personality
talk a Personality
Teenage Fanclub是一只来自苏格兰的另类摇滚乐队,从九十年代成立至今已经发行了9张专辑。
Donna Matthews是Elastica主唱。Elastica活跃于九十年代,虽然只发行了两张专辑,却对后来的英伦女性主场乐队立下了典范。另外Donna在电影中也饰演了一个小角色。
他们合唱的这首《Personality Crisis》粗糙有力,很有老式英伦摇滚的味道。
12 Lou Reed - Satellite Of Love
Satellite's gone

Thing like that drive me

I watched it for a little while
I like to watch things on TV
Satellite of love

1972年David Bowie作为一个摇滚歌手已经取得了相当的成功,那年他来到了美国,认识了自己崇拜的Lou Reed和Iggy Pop并开始合作。他们很快成为了形影不离的三剑客,而其中Lou Reed是公开的同性恋,Iggy Pop的行为早已不是什么性别问题那么简单了,以中性自居的David身处其中可以想见会发生什么,或者说公众想看到什么。尽管David和妻子在一起的温馨场面仍然时常出现,可关于他和Lou Reed和Iggy Pop的谣言还是满天飞。人们对三个才华横溢的音乐人之间关系的猜测远比对他们的音乐更感兴趣。
电影里映射David的Brian Slade来到美国后见到了Curt Wild(暗指Iggy Pop),这几乎就是在讲David的故事,可电影里并没有出现一个像Lou Reed的人。
或许导演已经无力再加这么一个人物到电影里了,或许他和导演想讲的故事没太大关系,但是在现实中他却是个在任何方面都无法被忽视的人。
Lou Reed作为当今摇滚界首屈一指的元老级人物之一,其音乐历程从六十年代至今横跨接近半个世纪,见证了当代音乐文化的万千气象。在离开地下丝绒乐队后,Lou Reed的单飞生涯在三十多年内几起几落,最终修成正果,成为全球亿万乐迷顶礼膜拜的教父式人物。
1971年Lou Reed的第一张同名专辑并不算成功,在1972年他认识了David Bawie,David作为他的歌迷帮他制作了第二张专辑《Transformer》,这张作品成为了Lou Reed最畅销的专辑,并且产生了很多经典歌曲,旋律舒适歌词深刻的《Perfect Day》几乎成为了他的代表作,这首《Satellite Of Love》同样也是出自这张专辑。
据说这张专辑的歌本里有一张Lou Reed和David Bowie,Iggy Pop的合影,他们只属于七十年代。
13 T-rex - Diamond Meadows
If I could have grown
All upon my own
If I could have grown I grew
If I could have grew I do
If I had a throne
You could call it home
If I cry my tears are yours
To open any frozen doors
Hey let's do it like we're friends
Let's do it do it
Hey let's do it like we're friends
Hey let's do it like we're friends
Let's do it do it
Hey let's do it like we're friends
If I could have grown
All upon my own
If I could have grown I grew
If I could have grew I do
If I had a throne
You could call it home
If I cry my tears are yours
To open any frozen doors
Hey let's do it like we're friends
Let's do it do it
Hey let's do it like we're friends
Hey let's do it like we're friends
Let's do it do it
Hey let's do it like we're friends
提到Glam Rock的起源不能不提的除了David Bowie和Roxy Music,还有就是T.Rex了。
其实T.Rex经常被写作Marc Bolan & T.Rex,Marc Bolan是乐队的灵魂人物,并且也喜欢画上令人模糊性别的浓妆演出,这也正是最早的Glam Rock的含义之一。
Marc Bolan的音乐艰涩难懂,富含哲理,这和他浓艳的装扮似乎不协调,但这世上最真实的东西不都有着让人难以接近的外表吗?
Marc Bolan死于1977年的一次车祸,可惜他没有像其他摇滚明星那样在死后获得更高的名声。
14 Paul Kimble and Andy Mackay - Bitter's End
At last the crimson chord cascade
To shower dry cordials within
Too late to leap the chocolate gate
Pale fountains fizzing fort pink gin
While destiny begins to fly
The farmyard chorus sings its wake
Upstanding anthem to the sky
Too soon to realize their fate
You were the raven of October
I knew the sign you flew around
Up in the air so high above me
Never needed to look down
I never though I'd be a rover
I didn't even look around
But now I know you've found another
So will someone please find me
Give now the host his claret cup
And watch madeira's farewell drink
Note his reaction acid sharp
Should make the cognoscenti think
Andy Mackay是原来Roxy Music的萨克斯风手,这首Roxy Music的歌曲由他来演绎再合适不过了,而且这首歌里萨克斯风非常好听,几乎起到了主导的地位。这个翻唱版本和原来的版本几乎一模一样。另外歌词也写得非常忧伤。
15 The Venus in Furs - Baby's on Fire
Baby's on fire
Better throw her in the water
Look at her laughing
Like a heifer to the slaughter
Baby's on fire
And all the laughing boys are bitching
Waiting for photos
Oh the plot is so bewitching
Rescuers row row
Do your best to change the subject
Blow the wind blow blow
Lend some assistance to the object
Photographers snip snap
Take your time she's only burning
This kind of experience
Is necessary for her learning
If you'll be my flotsam
I could be half the man I used to
They said you were hot stuff
And that's what baby's been reduced to
Juanita and Juan
Very clever with maracas
Making their fortunes
Selling secondhand tobaccoes
Juan dances at Chico's
And when the clients are evicted
He empties the ashtrays
And pockets all that he's collected
But baby's on fire
And all the instruments agree that
Her temperature's rising
But any idiot would know that
翻唱自Brian Eno的第一张个人专辑《Here Come The Warm Jets》。Jonathan Rhys Meyers演唱。
16 The Venus in Furs - Bitter-Sweet
Well, this is such a sad affair
I've opened up my heart so many times
But now it's closed
Oh my dear
Every salted tear
It wrings
Bitter-sweet applause
But when the show's in full swing
Every once in awhile
High stepping chorus lines
Mean I'm forgetting
Mein lullaby - liebchen
How rich in contrast
Love can be
Sometimes I'm quite amused
To see it twist and turn
To taste both sweet and dry
These vintage years
Lovers you consume, my friend
As others their wine
Nein - das ist nicht
Das ende der Welt
Gestrandet an Leben und Kunst
Und das spiel geht weiter
Wie man weiss
Noch viele 'schoum'....wiedersehen
(Translation of German lyrics:
No - this is not the end of the world
Stranded because of life and art
And the game goes on as you know
Schoum....see you)
And now, as you turn to leave
You try to force a smile
As if to compensate
Then you break down and cry
翻唱自Roxy Music第三张专辑《Country Life》,由Thom York演唱。

18 The Venus in Furs - Tumbling Down
Gee, but it's hard when one lowers one's guard to the vultures
But, me, I regard it a torturous hardship that smoulders
Like a peppermint eaten away,
Will I fight, will I swagger or sway?
Hee hee, m'lady, she cries like a baby, scold us,
See her tumbling down, see her tumbling down.
Hail to the monkey, we're having a funky reunion
Wasted and sunk he can only have sunday communion
He's got nicotine stains in his eyes.
He's got nothing to protect but his pride.
All smothered in kiss or be drowned in blissful confusion.
See her tumbling down, see her tumbling down,
See her tumbling down, tumbling down.
翻唱自Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel专辑《The Cream of Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel》(那个没收录的《Sabastian》也翻唱自此),由Jonathan Rhys Meyers演唱。
这首歌好听有点过分了,还有后面那宏大的管弦配乐,Jonathan Rhys Meyers为什么不去做个歌手……
19 Steve Harley - Make Me Smile (Come Up and See Me)
You've done it all, you've broken every code
And pulled the rebel to the floor
You spoilt the game, no matter what you say
For only metal - what a bore!
Blue eyes, blue eyes, how come you tell so many lies?
Come up and see me, make me smile
Or do what you want, run on wild
There's nothing left, all gone and run away
Maybe you'll tarry for a while
It's just a test, a game for us to play
Win or lose, it's hard to smile
Resist, resist, it's from yourself you have to hide
Come up and see me, make me smile
Or do what you want, run on wild
There ain't no more, you've taken everything
From my believe in Mother Earth
How can you ignore my faith in everything
When I know what Faith is and what it's worth
Away, away, and don't say maybe you'll try
Come up and see me, make me smile
Or do what you want, run on wild
Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel主要活跃于70年代,正值华丽摇滚大行其道。乐队最初的名字叫做Cockney Rebel,后来由于成员不断变更,几乎成为了主唱Steve Harley的个人乐队,后来干脆改名叫Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel了。
这首歌出自1974年的《The Best Years of Our Lives》,并登上了英国音乐排行榜榜首。

我顺着专辑曲目一首一首的查找相关信息,这19首歌几乎为我展示Glam Rock的历史,因为内容非常丰富我想把这些东西和歌词一起整理一下。
关于这部电影我就不多介绍了,只提一下电影名字的由来。《Velvet Goldmine》原来是David Bowie的歌曲,录制于1972年,那年他出版了几乎被认为他最成功的专辑《The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars》,可是这首歌并没有被收录到那张专辑里,一直到1975年英国再版《Space Oddity》时才被作为B-Side的一首歌曲被收录。歌词里又很多同性恋暗示的描写,迫于社会压力,加上当时人们对此这种事还没那么感兴趣,后来Bowie不得不重写了这首歌。尽管如此,这首歌在Bowie的歌迷中还是非常受欢迎,并且后来多次被收录在他的精选专辑中。
众所周知的电影是根据David Bowie和Iggy Pop的故事改编的,这个电影名字也是一个暗示。
1 Brian Eno - Needle In The Camel's Eye
Those who know
They don't let it show
They just give you one long life
And you go, oh oh, oh oh
Goes to show
How winds blow
The weather's fine
And I feel so so-so, so
Birds of prey
With too much to say
Oh what could be my destiny
Another rainy day
Why ask why?
For by the by and by
All mysteries are just more
Needles in the camel's eye
Those who know
They don't let it show
They just give you one long life
And you go, oh oh, oh oh
Why ask why?
For by the by and by
All mysteries are just more
Needles in the camel's eye
这首歌选自Brian Eno1974年的第一张个人专辑《Here Come The Warm Jets》,并且《Baby's on Fire》也是翻唱自这张专辑。
豆瓣连接:http://music.douban.com/subject/1441369/
据说这张专辑参与制作的包括Roxy Music所有旧队友除Bryan Ferry外。其实Brian Eno是Roxy Music最初成立时的键盘手并负责作品的电气化处理(这似乎也暗示了他后来成为一个氛围音乐大师和王牌制作人)。
这里就不得不提一下Roxy Music了,这只乐队被认为是Glam Rock的始祖之一,虽然当时只有Eno一人化妆作性别模糊的中性装扮,但他们令人目眩的奇异服饰和迷幻浪漫的优美旋律使后人同样把他们归入了华丽摇滚范畴,并且在《天鹅绒金矿》的这张原声里也收录了他们的一首《Virginia Plain》和几首翻唱自他们的歌曲《Ladytron》《2HB》《Bitter's End》。这几首歌出自他们1972年的第一张同名专辑,当时Brian Eno还在。另外还有一首《Bitter-Sweet》出自他们的第三章专辑《Country Life》。
Roxy Music出了两个摇滚巨星——Brian Eno和Bryan Ferry。一个成功的乐队很难同时容纳两个天才式的人物,所以Eno才会因为和Bryan不合而离开乐队,在Eno走后Roxy Music也自然成为了Bryan的个人乐队。Roxy Music在1983年解散,Bryan Ferry仍然活跃在舞台上。
话说回来,单就这首《Needle In The Camel's Eye》来讲并不怎么好听倒是。
2 Shudder To Think - Hot One
Well, you're the grand one你是傲慢狂放的
Have you noticed?这让你很被注意
When you walk in all the fairy boys are very nervous当走进漂亮男孩堆里
时你很害羞
Well, my starship doesn't want me 好吧,我的飞船不想要我
And neither does his world两者都不是他的世界
I'm glad I caught you on my view screen, sailor我很高兴我在我的视线屏幕里抓住了你,水手
You're the grand one您是傲慢狂放的
Come and court me来向我求婚
'cause this wooing is what I'm wanting因为这求爱就是我想要的
When my spacesuit comes to warm me当我的飞船来温暖我
And hold me like a god然后像神一样接住我
I am the captain of the gravity, Maxwell我变成了引力的首领,麦克斯韦(人名)
Everywhere I see your faces我看见了你脸上的任何一个地方
Hot one
From a starship over Venus to the Sun用飞船从金星到太阳去
But it's a crime!但是这是犯罪
You're mistaken!你犯了个错误
Momentary seizure of love - oh love这夺取的短暂的爱
Well, you're the grand one你是傲慢狂放的
But darling, I'm a mess但是亲爱的,我是个混乱的人
I've got human minds we can form我能获得人类的理智
But the boys are not impressed但是这样的男孩不会给人留下影响的
When my spacesuit comes to warm me当我的飞船来温暖我
Just hold me like a god然后像神一样接住我
I'll be the captain of the gravity, Maxwell我变成了引力的首领,麦克斯韦(人名)
I see your faces in the strangest places我看见了你的脸中陌生的部分
Hot one
From a starship over Venus to the Sun用飞船从金星到太阳去
But it's a crime!但是这是犯罪
You're mistaken!你犯了个错误
Momentary seizure of love - oh love这夺取的短暂的爱
Hot one
From a starship over Venus to the Sun用飞船从金星到太阳去
But it's a drag!但是这是令人厌倦的
You're so mean!你是卑鄙的
Destroying my belief in, in love - oh love这夺取的短暂的爱
这首歌是整张专辑里我最喜欢的一首了,我怀疑电影里用的是Shudder To Think的原声,那声音和Jonathan Rhys Meyers倒是有几份相近,性感、有磁性。歌词里有些Gay的暗示,音乐风骚而又华丽。
Shudder To Think成立于1986年,音乐风格柔和了朋克、华丽摇滚和歌剧,奇异而又富有魅力。但似乎他们没有专心搞摇滚,后来把精力都投入到电影原声的创作上了(所以《Velvet Goldmine》的原声因为有了他们而更完美)。
3 Placebo - 20th Century Boy
Friends say it's fine
Friends say it's good
Everybody says it's just like Robin Hood
I move like a rat
Charge like a cat
Sting like a bee
Babe, I'm gonna be your man
Well it's plain to see
You were meant for me,yeah
Yeah, I'm your toy
Your 20th Century boy
Friends say it's fine
Friends say it's good
Everybody says it's just like Robin Hood
Fly like a plane
Drive like a car
Hold out your hand
Babe, I'm gonna be your man
And it's pain to see
you were meant for me,yeah
I'm your boy
Your 20th Century boy
20th Century boy
I wanna be your toy
20th Century boy
I wanna be your toy
Friends say it's fine
Friends say it's good
Everbody says it's just like Rock 'n' Roll
I move like a cat
Charge like a rat

And it's pain to see
you were meant for me,yeah
I'm your boy
Your 20th Century boy
20th Century boy
I wanna be your toy
20th Century toy
I wanna be your boy
关于Placebo我就不废话了,他们在发行了第一张同名专辑后迅速窜红,顺便在电影《天鹅绒金矿》中过了把当电影明星的瘾,所以原声中收录了他们这首翻唱歌曲。
这首歌翻唱自华丽摇滚始祖之一T-Rex。这张原声专辑还收录了T-Rex的一首《Diamond Meadows》。
4 The Venus In Furs - 2 HB
Oh I was moved by your screen dream
Celluloid pictures living
Your death could not kill our love for you
Take two people romantic
Smoky nightclub situation
Your cigarette traces a ladder
Here is looking at you kid
Celebrate years
Here is looking at you kid
Wipe away tears
Long time since we’re together
Now I hope it’s forever
Ideal love flies away now
White jacket moon black tie wings too
You gave her away to the hero
Words don’t express my meaning
Notes could not spell out the score
But finding not keeping the lesson
Here is looking at you kid
Hard to forget
Here is looking at you kid
At least not yet
Your memory stays
It lingers ever
Will fade away never
喔,你的梦想使我感动
赛璐珞放映出生活的画面
你的死不能抹杀我们对你的爱
就像两个人的浪漫故事
在夜总会中相遇的情景
你的香烟勾勒出一座阶梯
这里有人在看着你
值得庆祝的年代
这里有人在看着你
擦去眼泪
我们在一起以来过去了很长的时间
现在我希望是永远
这里有人在看着你
难以忘怀
这里有人在看着你
至少还没有忘记
我的记忆留在了这里
它永远留下
永远不会减退
永远不会减退
永远不会减退
永远不会减退
首先解释一下The Venus In Furs这个乐队。The Venus In Furs的阵容非常强大,是1998年因为《天鹅绒金矿》这部电影而临时组成的,成员包括Radiohead的Thom York、Jonny Greenwood,原Roxy Music萨克斯风手Andy Mackay,Suede吉他手Bernard Butler,英国另类民谣歌手David Gray,电影配乐大师Carter Burwell和在电影中扮演Brian Slade的Jonathan Rhys Meyers。原声碟里收录了5首这只临时乐队的歌曲,全部是翻唱,另外还有一首被标记为The Venus In Furs翻唱自Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel的《Sabastian》由Jonathan Rhys Meyers演唱,在电影中出现过,据说因为经费问题没有单独录制,所以没收录到原声专辑里。(豆瓣上有一个The Venus In Furs的条目,收录的正是这5首歌,不过我没找到正确的封面。)
乐队的这个名字是取自The Vervelt Underground的第一张专辑里的《Venus In Furs》,这应该也是一种致敬。
他们的这5首翻唱歌曲中有三首翻唱自Roxy Music,都是由Thom York演唱,能看出Thom对Roxy Music的喜爱。
关于《2HB》,这首歌是翻唱自Roxy Music的首张同名专辑,歌名叫2HB不是儿逼,也和铅笔型号无关,这首歌是向好莱坞导演Humphrey Bogart(曾执导《卡萨布兰卡》)的致敬,2HB=to Humphrey Bogart,歌中还引用了《卡萨布兰卡》中的经典台词“Here’s looking at you, kid”。
这个版本的演唱者是Thom Youk,能听出他那一贯神经质的唱腔。
5 Wylde Rattz - T.V. Eye
Lord
See that cat
Yeah I do mean you
See that cat
Yeah I do mean you
She got a TV eye on me
She got a TV eye
She got a TV eye on me, oh
See that cat
Down on her back
See that cat
Down on her back
She got a TV eye on me
She got a TV eye
She got a TV eye on me, oh
See that cat
Yeah I love her so
See that cat
Yeah I love her so
She got a TV eye on me
She got a TV eye
She got a TV eye on me, oh
Right on, right on, right on
See that cat
Yeah I love her so
See that cat
Yeah I love her so
She got a TV eye on me
She got a TV eye
She got a TV eye on me, oh
Wylde Rattz是电影中Curt Wild(Ewan McGregor饰)的虚拟乐队的名称,电影外这只临时乐队的成员几乎都来自美国摇滚乐队,朋克鼻祖The Stooges的Ron Asheton,硬核摇滚乐队Sonic Youth的Thurston Moore和Steve Shelley,朋克乐队Minuteman的Mike Watt,地下摇滚乐队Gumball的Don Fleming,Grunge乐队Mudhony的Mark Arm。由Ewan McGregor演唱,旋律简单,朋克范十足。Ewan是有一副出了名的好嗓子,没想到唱这种风格的音乐也有模有样的。
翻唱自The Stooges第二张专辑《Fun House》(1970)的歌曲。
《TV Eye》被认为是朋克音乐的前导曲,Iggy Pop也被称为朋克教父,他的The Stooges在1971年就解散了。乐队的两张专辑虽然销量极差,却仍旧成为了摇滚乐的经典教科书,甚至被视为朋克摇滚的开山之作。
在那之后不久华丽摇滚流行起来,David Bowie发行了让他轰动一时的《The Man Who Sold The World》,就像电影里的情节,David作为Iggy Pop的歌迷,找到了他并鼓励继续演唱事业。《天鹅绒金矿》就是根据他们之间的故事改编的,电影里饰演他的Ewan McGregor看起来特别像科特·科本,巧的是Iggy Pop的音乐不但对70年代的朋克影响深远,为90年代大行其道的Grunge也写下了典范。
据说David Bowie对电影暗示了他当年和Iggy Pop的这段感情此事相当不爽,所以他拒绝自己的音乐被放在电影里(虽然众所周知这部电影就是根据他的事改编的),这不能不说是一种遗憾。
6 Shudder To Think - Ballad Of Maxwell Demon
Got tired of wasting gas living above the planet
Mister, show me the way to earth
The boys of Quadrant 44 with their vicious metal hounds
Never come around here no more
Sometimes I wonder if I'm still alive
Six feet down at age 25
Maxwell Leather Demon rock hand jive
I came down like water
For the age of solar
Hail to the father
Kiss your sons and daughters
Goodbye goodbye
Steam steady roller
Lady tongue controller
Ten feet tall, better walk it back down
Despite the great duress, always get off 'cause damn it!
It's the only sure-fire way to win
Your poison doesn't hurt me, no
Tender wine disguised in a milk-fat fair kiddie show
I'm here to celebrate the one below
At last I've heard from good God above
As the slap on my ass by a lipstick-kissed elbow glove
I came down like water
For the age of solar
Hail to the father
Kiss your sons and daughters
Goodbye goodbye
Steam steady roller
Lady tongue controller
Ten feet tall, better walk it back down
I came down like water
For the age of solar
I came down like water
Kiss your sons and daughters
Ten feet tall, better walk it back down
另一首Shudder To Think的歌,华丽而又奇异。
7 Grant Lee Buffalo - The Whole Shebang
Darling, you can't live your life
Singing songs in exile
You were born for stardom's crown
And not for self-denial
So don't you close the door on fate
When she comes to call
And tell her that you'll join her there
At the masquerader's ball
Funny how some people never love at all
We'll take the whole shebang
All or nothing, anything
Ecstasy's the birthright of our gang
We'll take the whole shebang
Free your heart of guilt and shame
Come and claim what's yours
The whole shebang
Nothing on this earth could hold you prisoner, my dear
Except for contemplations evil brother, love is feared
But love is extra-terrestrial
And love falls from the stars
Like Maxwell Demon's silver disk
Into this world of ours
Funny how we keep on loving, true love power
We'll take the whole shebang
All or nothing, anything
Ecstasy's the birthright of our gang
We'll take the whole shebang
Free your heart of guilt and shame
Come and claim what's yours
The whole shebang
Kick up your heels and paint your face
Wave goodbye to yesteryear
We can swing in outer space
Or from the chandeliers
Though sometimes it breaks my heart, I hide my tears
We'll take the whole shebang
All or nothing, anything
Ecstasy's the birthright of our gang
We'll take the whole shebang
Free your heart of guilt and shame
Come and claim what's yours
The whole shebang
Grant Lee Buffalo是一直来自加州的另类乡村民谣乐队,1993年以处女专辑《Fuzzy》一鸣惊人,其音乐编排细腻。乐队1998年发行了第四张专辑后解散。
8 Ladytron - The Venus in Furs
You've got me girl on the run around run around
You've got me all around town
You've got me girl on the run around
And it's getting me down, getting me down
Lady if you want to find a lover
Then you look no further
For I'm gonna be your only
Searching at the start of the season
And my only reason
Is that I'll get to you
I'll find some way of connection
Hiding my intention
Then I'll move up close to you
I'll use you and I'll confuse you
And then I'll lose you
But still you won't suspect me
女孩,你令我东奔西跑东奔西跑
你令我跑遍了整个城市
女孩,你令我东奔西跑我很沮丧
女士,如果你想找一个爱人
那你不用看得很远
因为我很适合你
在季节开始搜寻吧
我唯一考虑的
就是要接近你
我要找到这段关系的起点
隐藏我的意图
然后我要更接近你
利用你
接着迷惑你
然后我会沉溺于你
你仍然不会怀疑我
翻唱自华丽摇滚乐队Roxy Music的第一张同名专辑,由Thom York演唱。
这首歌非常有名,据说当时Ferry让Brian Eno造一种“感觉在月球上行走”的声音,Eno就用他的EMS VCS3合成器创造出了后来广泛被采用的"Lunacy"声效,而Ferry低柔潜声的合唱,在日后亦是成为了他的招牌。对于此歌,有人评价道“包括 Roxy Music自己在内,后世很少有人能写出如此完美的歌了,深刻的歌词,美妙的演绎,动人的声音,即使把编曲单独抽取出来,每个乐器的每段都是一段漂亮的Solo”。据说就连David Bowie都偷偷录制了翻唱版本,打算收在自己的专辑中,而后世对这首歌的无数致敬中,我们最熟悉的,或许就是同样来自英格兰的同名电音乐队了。
9 Pulp - We Are The Boys
Ooh We are the boyz
And we are class
At getting trashed
So make some noize
We are the boyz
We are the lads
We sleep with slags
We nick their fags
We got no choice
We are the boyz
Oh we are the boyz
We dont ask why
Because were alive
We are the boyz
We are the boyz
Were in the place
So shut yer face
You got no choice
We are the boyz
We are the guys
Were getting high
While youre getting by
So just make some noize
Cos we are the boyz
Oh we are the boyz
And we dont ask why
Cos were always right
Because were alive
Oh we are the boyz!
We are the boyz
And dont look now
Cos were coming down
Dont make no noize
Cos we are the boyz
Now we are the men
And that was then
It wont happen again
But we had no choice
Cos were the boyz
Oh we were the boyz
But were not any more
Not now were so mature
Now weve got insured
Because were not so sure
No were not so sure
Oh no were not so sure
Not so sure
Not so sure as we were
When we were the boyz
We were the boyz
Oh, we were the boyz
Cmon, were still the boyz
Were still the boyz
Oh, were still the boyz
Oh cmon, we are the boyz
We are the boyz
Oh, we are the boyz.
Pulp虽然作为九十年代Britpop运动中最重要的乐队之一,其实早在1978年就成立了,只是一直到了94年才凭借专辑《His And Hers》为人瞩目。他们成立时华丽摇滚的热潮还没完全退去,所以我们有理由相信华丽摇滚对他们产生了很大的影响。其实从他们光怪陆离的曲风和主唱Jarvis Cooker红艳的嘴唇也能看出来华丽摇滚在他们身上的影子。
《We Are The Boys》收录在他们《This Is Hardcore》的Deluxe Edition版本中,原来好像是一首B-Side歌曲。
10 Roxy Music - Virginia Plain
Make me a deal and make it straight
All signed and sealed I'll take it
To Robert E. Lee I'll show it
I hope and pray he don't blow it 'cause
We've been around a long time just try try tryin' to
Make make the big time...
Take me on a roller coaster
Take me for an airplane ride
Take me for a six days wander but don't you
Don't you throw away my pride aside besides
What's real and make believe
Baby Jane's in Acapulco
We're flyin' down to Rio
Throw me a line I'm sinking fast
Clutching at straws can't make it
Havana sound we're trying hard edge the hipster jiving
Last picture show's down the drive-in
You're so sheer you're so chic
Teenage rebel of the week
Flavors of the mountain streamline
Midnight blue casino floors
Dance the cha-cha through til sunrise
Open up exclusive doors oh wow!
Just like flamingos look the same
So me and you, just we two got to reach for something new
Far beyond the pale horizon
Some place near the desert strand
Where my Studebaker takes me
That's where I'll make my stand but wait
Can't you see that Holzer mane
What's her name Virginia Plain
Roxy Music1972年第一张同名专辑里的歌。
11 Teenage Fanclub & Donna Matthews - Personality Crisis
Well we can't take it this week
and her friends don't want another speech
hoping for a better day to hear what she's got to say
all about that Personality Crisis you got it while it was hot
but now frustration and heartache is what you got
(that's why they talk about Personality)
But now your tryin to be some no you got to do some
wanna be someone who cow wow wows
but you think about the times you did, they took every ounce
when it sure got to be a shame when you start to scream and shout
you got to contradict all those times you were butterflyin' about
you were butterflyin' all about that
Personality Crisis you got it while it was hot
but now frustration and heartache is what you got
And you're a prima ballerina on a spring afternoon
change on into the wolfman howlin' at the moon
hooowwwl
all about that Personality Crisis you got it while
it was hot
but now frustration and heartache is what you got
now with all the crossin fingers that mother nature says
your mirrors get jammed up with all your friends
that personality everything starts to bend
Personality when your mind starts to bend
of a friend, of a friend
Personality wondering how celebrities ever met
look and find out on television
Personality Crisis you got it while it was hot
frustration and heartache is all you got don't you worry
Personality Crisis please don't cry
it's just a Personality Crisis please don't stop
because you walk a Personality
talk a Personality
Teenage Fanclub是一只来自苏格兰的另类摇滚乐队,从九十年代成立至今已经发行了9张专辑。
Donna Matthews是Elastica主唱。Elastica活跃于九十年代,虽然只发行了两张专辑,却对后来的英伦女性主场乐队立下了典范。另外Donna在电影中也饰演了一个小角色。
他们合唱的这首《Personality Crisis》粗糙有力,很有老式英伦摇滚的味道。
12 Lou Reed - Satellite Of Love

1972年David Bowie作为一个摇滚歌手已经取得了相当的成功,那年他来到了美国,认识了自己崇拜的Lou Reed和Iggy Pop并开始合作。他们很快成为了形影不离的三剑客,而其中Lou Reed是公开的同性恋,Iggy Pop的行为早已不是什么性别问题那么简单了,以中性自居的David身处其中可以想见会发生什么,或者说公众想看到什么。尽管David和妻子在一起的温馨场面仍然时常出现,可关于他和Lou Reed和Iggy Pop的谣言还是满天飞。人们对三个才华横溢的音乐人之间关系的猜测远比对他们的音乐更感兴趣。
电影里映射David的Brian Slade来到美国后见到了Curt Wild(暗指Iggy Pop),这几乎就是在讲David的故事,可电影里并没有出现一个像Lou Reed的人。
或许导演已经无力再加这么一个人物到电影里了,或许他和导演想讲的故事没太大关系,但是在现实中他却是个在任何方面都无法被忽视的人。
Lou Reed作为当今摇滚界首屈一指的元老级人物之一,其音乐历程从六十年代至今横跨接近半个世纪,见证了当代音乐文化的万千气象。在离开地下丝绒乐队后,Lou Reed的单飞生涯在三十多年内几起几落,最终修成正果,成为全球亿万乐迷顶礼膜拜的教父式人物。
1971年Lou Reed的第一张同名专辑并不算成功,在1972年他认识了David Bawie,David作为他的歌迷帮他制作了第二张专辑《Transformer》,这张作品成为了Lou Reed最畅销的专辑,并且产生了很多经典歌曲,旋律舒适歌词深刻的《Perfect Day》几乎成为了他的代表作,这首《Satellite Of Love》同样也是出自这张专辑。
据说这张专辑的歌本里有一张Lou Reed和David Bowie,Iggy Pop的合影,他们只属于七十年代。
13 T-rex - Diamond Meadows
If I could have grown
All upon my own
If I could have grown I grew
If I could have grew I do
If I had a throne
You could call it home
If I cry my tears are yours
To open any frozen doors
Hey let's do it like we're friends
Let's do it do it
Hey let's do it like we're friends
Hey let's do it like we're friends
Let's do it do it
Hey let's do it like we're friends
If I could have grown
All upon my own
If I could have grown I grew
If I could have grew I do
If I had a throne
You could call it home
If I cry my tears are yours
To open any frozen doors
Hey let's do it like we're friends
Let's do it do it
Hey let's do it like we're friends
Hey let's do it like we're friends
Let's do it do it
Hey let's do it like we're friends
提到Glam Rock的起源不能不提的除了David Bowie和Roxy Music,还有就是T.Rex了。
其实T.Rex经常被写作Marc Bolan & T.Rex,Marc Bolan是乐队的灵魂人物,并且也喜欢画上令人模糊性别的浓妆演出,这也正是最早的Glam Rock的含义之一。
Marc Bolan的音乐艰涩难懂,富含哲理,这和他浓艳的装扮似乎不协调,但这世上最真实的东西不都有着让人难以接近的外表吗?
Marc Bolan死于1977年的一次车祸,可惜他没有像其他摇滚明星那样在死后获得更高的名声。
14 Paul Kimble and Andy Mackay - Bitter's End
At last the crimson chord cascade
To shower dry cordials within
Too late to leap the chocolate gate
Pale fountains fizzing fort pink gin
While destiny begins to fly
The farmyard chorus sings its wake
Upstanding anthem to the sky
Too soon to realize their fate
You were the raven of October
I knew the sign you flew around
Up in the air so high above me
Never needed to look down
I never though I'd be a rover
I didn't even look around
But now I know you've found another
So will someone please find me
Give now the host his claret cup
And watch madeira's farewell drink
Note his reaction acid sharp
Should make the cognoscenti think
Andy Mackay是原来Roxy Music的萨克斯风手,这首Roxy Music的歌曲由他来演绎再合适不过了,而且这首歌里萨克斯风非常好听,几乎起到了主导的地位。这个翻唱版本和原来的版本几乎一模一样。另外歌词也写得非常忧伤。
15 The Venus in Furs - Baby's on Fire
Baby's on fire
Better throw her in the water
Look at her laughing
Like a heifer to the slaughter
Baby's on fire
And all the laughing boys are bitching
Waiting for photos
Oh the plot is so bewitching
Rescuers row row
Do your best to change the subject
Blow the wind blow blow
Lend some assistance to the object
Photographers snip snap
Take your time she's only burning
This kind of experience
Is necessary for her learning
If you'll be my flotsam
I could be half the man I used to
They said you were hot stuff
And that's what baby's been reduced to
Juanita and Juan
Very clever with maracas
Making their fortunes
Selling secondhand tobaccoes
Juan dances at Chico's
And when the clients are evicted
He empties the ashtrays
And pockets all that he's collected
But baby's on fire
And all the instruments agree that
Her temperature's rising
But any idiot would know that
翻唱自Brian Eno的第一张个人专辑《Here Come The Warm Jets》。Jonathan Rhys Meyers演唱。
16 The Venus in Furs - Bitter-Sweet
Well, this is such a sad affair
I've opened up my heart so many times
But now it's closed
Oh my dear
Every salted tear
It wrings
Bitter-sweet applause
But when the show's in full swing
Every once in awhile
High stepping chorus lines
Mean I'm forgetting
Mein lullaby - liebchen
How rich in contrast
Love can be
Sometimes I'm quite amused
To see it twist and turn
To taste both sweet and dry
These vintage years
Lovers you consume, my friend
As others their wine
Nein - das ist nicht
Das ende der Welt
Gestrandet an Leben und Kunst
Und das spiel geht weiter
Wie man weiss
Noch viele 'schoum'....wiedersehen
(Translation of German lyrics:
No - this is not the end of the world
Stranded because of life and art
And the game goes on as you know
Schoum....see you)
And now, as you turn to leave
You try to force a smile
As if to compensate
Then you break down and cry
翻唱自Roxy Music第三张专辑《Country Life》,由Thom York演唱。
17 Carter Burwell - Velvet Spacetime
Carter Burwell,美国著名电影配乐大师。
18 The Venus in Furs - Tumbling Down
Gee, but it's hard when one lowers one's guard to the vultures
But, me, I regard it a torturous hardship that smoulders
Like a peppermint eaten away,
Will I fight, will I swagger or sway?
Hee hee, m'lady, she cries like a baby, scold us,
See her tumbling down, see her tumbling down.
Hail to the monkey, we're having a funky reunion
Wasted and sunk he can only have sunday communion
He's got nicotine stains in his eyes.
He's got nothing to protect but his pride.
All smothered in kiss or be drowned in blissful confusion.
See her tumbling down, see her tumbling down,
See her tumbling down, tumbling down.
翻唱自Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel专辑《The Cream of Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel》(那个没收录的《Sabastian》也翻唱自此),由Jonathan Rhys Meyers演唱。
这首歌好听有点过分了,还有后面那宏大的管弦配乐,Jonathan Rhys Meyers为什么不去做个歌手……
19 Steve Harley - Make Me Smile (Come Up and See Me)
You've done it all, you've broken every code
And pulled the rebel to the floor
You spoilt the game, no matter what you say
For only metal - what a bore!
Blue eyes, blue eyes, how come you tell so many lies?
Come up and see me, make me smile
Or do what you want, run on wild
There's nothing left, all gone and run away
Maybe you'll tarry for a while
It's just a test, a game for us to play
Win or lose, it's hard to smile
Resist, resist, it's from yourself you have to hide
Come up and see me, make me smile
Or do what you want, run on wild
There ain't no more, you've taken everything
From my believe in Mother Earth
How can you ignore my faith in everything
When I know what Faith is and what it's worth
Away, away, and don't say maybe you'll try
Come up and see me, make me smile
Or do what you want, run on wild
