They wanted to be the cool kids and they did it.

youtube上看视频,视频本身结尾的广告一闪而过。但是却吸引到我回去找到一首叫《Cool Kids》的歌。旋律十分抓耳,是当下流行的慢节奏歌曲。这个叫Echosmith的乐队,四个成员其实都是亲戚,有这相同的family name, 女主唱才17岁,鼓手最小,才15岁。
整张专辑听下来,的确能听出来很多别的乐队的痕迹,像Coldplay, Mumford & Sons⋯⋯华纳兄弟公司力捧新人,欧美乐坛90后的异军突起早已不是什么新鲜话题。整张专辑听下来,像初夏阳光下青草的味道,许多曲目,泛着青涩和温暖。相比《cool kids》,我更喜欢那首《March Into the Sun》,让我想起了Mutual Friends的那首《Little Numbers》和巴塞罗那的阳光。
有趣的还有《Cool Kids》的歌词,例如,
“ I wish that i could be like the cool kids, cause all the cool kids they seem to fit in. I wish that i could be like the cool kids, cause all the cool kids they seem to get it."
他们这样的歌词会激起很多人的回忆和共鸣吧。那些所谓的攀比,炫富,合群,和越来越物质化的童年和青春。
People who listen to "Cool Kids" might never be cool kids,
Artists singing "Cool Kids" have actually become cool kids.
这或许才是当下所谓”信息时代“最大的讽刺。
