Ceremony

听了好几年New Order,我想Ceremony大概是我最爱的一首。这张专辑发行于Ian Curtis死后,New Order把Ceremony视为他们的第一首创作,然而这首歌如今的演唱已经与最初的样子相去甚远。
最初我听到这首歌时以为它是欢快的,事实上它也的确是欢快的曲调,只有在聆听初版中根本听不清歌词的声音中才能明白,这首歌如此摇滚,且把悲歌欢唱。
初版里Bernard Sumner用力唱出的歌词只有,
Oh, I'll break them down, no mercy shown,
Heaven knows, it's got to be this time,
Avenues all lined with trees,
Picture me and then you start watching,
Watching forever,
forever
在初版里,关于Ian Curtis的思绪才如此连贯明晰,几乎跟死去的Ian Curtis自己唱出来一样,像是不屈的自叙。试试读这歌词吧,
啊我要打倒他们,决不手软,
上天知道,这次非如此不可,
绿树成荫的街道上,
为我照相,然后你开始看着,
永远的看着,
永远,
以上断章,画面全出,情绪饱满爆裂。
即使后来New Order成了电子乐的代表,我想他们还是世上唯一有资格歌唱Joy Division的乐队。
This is why events unnerve me,
这就是为何这事情让我不安,
They find it all, a different story,
他们发现一切,不同的故事,
Notice whom for wheels are turning,
注意到时间的齿轮为谁而转,
Turn again and turn towards this time,
又一次转来转去却转到此刻,
All she ask's the strength to hold me,
她祈求时间的力量把我紧握,
Then again the same old story,
相同的老套故事却再次发生,
World will travel, oh so quickly,
世界变幻迅捷让我措手不及,
Travel first and lean towards this time.
恍若刚刚发生却又回到此刻。
Oh, I'll break them down, no mercy shown,
啊我要打倒他们,绝不手软,
Heaven knows, it's got to be this time,
上天知道,这次非如此不可,
Watching her, these things she said,
看着她,她说的话,
The times she cried,
她哭泣的时候,
Too frail to wake this time.
然而这次竟脆弱到无法醒来。
Oh I'll break them down, no mercy shown
啊我要打倒他们,绝不手软,

Avenues all lined with trees,

Picture me and then you start watching,
为我照相,然后你开始看着,
Watching forever,
永远的看着,
forever
永远
Watching love grow, forever,
看着殷殷爱意缓缓永生,
Letting me know, forever.
让我知道,永远的知道,
