Arid:《You Are》
真的是对不起Alanis阿姨,但为了纪念我们的欧洲旅行,我毅然决定换掉space上礼拜刚刚挂上的Uninvited.
现在这首《You Are》确实更有纪念意义,因为它就是我们在布鲁塞尔黄金广场时,恰巧赶上的音乐节上演奏的一首歌曲。Arid是比利时比较成熟老练的Indie/Alternative Rock了,也有一些Muse式Britpop在里面,现在应该归做Pop Rock,因为他们的主唱和红得发紫的Keane,Snow Patrol等是一个路子的,且精通键盘和吉他。而Arid的可贵之处在于,人家90年代就在这么玩了...
这首歌确实没什么特别的,乐队的名气也相对有限,但这次旅行赋予了它对我特殊的意义。当时在比利时只随便记住了这支乐队的名字,因为我们是去旅游的,不是听摇滚,更不是上音乐理论课。而且周围的大家好像更关心的是广场上的购物地点...所以对这个音乐节,只是仓促地感受了20分钟...却也正是这20分钟让我感受到了很多关于欧洲音乐节,欧洲人甚至是欧洲文化的更深层次的内涵。回来后重新聆听这首歌,也算是对这次旅行的特殊纪念。
另外,这首歌略显俗气的歌词也的确反映了这次旅行中,我的某些心理状态...
I want to live with you
In your beds of bliss
Want to hide out
In your tenderness
I want the world to be
Made complete
On your life I will feed
You are
The summer rain
You are
What I can't explain
You are
The hurt inside
You are
What I cannot hide
It's freezing you
You're frozen still
Memories
Come flooding in
Turn the reel
Reverse the past
Are you trying to make
This moment last?
You are
The summer rain
You are
What I can't explain
You are
The hurt inside
You are
What I cannot hide
I want to live within
I can't live without
I want to build it up
So it can break me down
I am gonna let him have
His way with you
Do all things
that I wanted to
You are
The summer rain
You are
What I can't explain
You are
The hurt inside
You are
Feeling
Free
Born into the last divide
You are
Like the summer rain
You are
What I can't explain
You are
The hurt inside
You are
And again, and again
And again, and again
And again, and again
And again, and again
The murder inside
The murder inside
The murder inside
The murder inside
