1.《色放2——圈套》
选用歌曲:Don Mclean《vincent》
Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and gray
Look out on a summer\'s day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
Shadows on the hills, sketch the trees and the daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
in colors on the snowy linen land
Now I understand, what you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps, they\'ll listen now
Starry, starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze
reflect in Vincent\'s eyes of china blue
Colors changing hue, morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
are soothed beneath the artist\'s loving hand
Now I understand, what you tried to say to me
How you suffered for you sanity
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps, they\'ll listen now
For they could not love you, and still you love was true
and when no hope was left inside on that starry, starry night
You took your life as lovers often do
But I could have told you, Vincent
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you
Starry, Starry night
Portraits hung in empty hall
Frameless heads on nameless walls
With eyes that watch the world and can\'t forget
Like the strangers that you\'ve met
The ragged man in ragged clothes
The silver thorn of bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
Now I think I know what you tried to say to
How you suffered for your sanity
Then how you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they\'re not listening stiff
Perhaps, they never will
《Vincent》是Don Mclean欣赏了凡高的作品《星空》之后激情创作的。这首歌的曲风同与其它乡村民谣相比,并无异质,还是那种散发着淡淡的幽香的小品文风格。它的过人之处在于它那发人深省的歌词上。Mclean用他那诗人般的手笔向我们展示了一幅又一幅的优美画卷,同时也以他那天才般的敏锐洞悉出凡高内心的苦楚,表达了对这位天才画家的深深的理解与敬意。
歌中Mclean 用极尽绚烂的词藻来描绘凡高的画,旨在表现凡高那灿若向日葵般的生命。当凡高躺在弟弟提奥德怀里静静的离开这个世界上时,他才37岁。天才的生命总是异常的短暂,但却绚烂如夏花。
凡高以如火的热情畅游于艺术的海洋,虽然周遭充满了鄙夷与曲解,虽然他时常被饥饿与寒冷折磨,但是他那永不枯竭的创作灵感从来没有被不公的命运所扼杀。他以惊人的创作力为世界艺术宝库留下了一笔巨大的财富。然而,天才不是神人。他同凡人一样,他也会彷徨,也有脆弱的时候。所以,Mclean用朴实无华的语言来倾诉凡高内心的痛苦,用“when there is no hope left inside on that starry starry night,you took your life as lovers often do。”这样凄婉的语句来暗示凡高的自杀。
从这首歌中,我们不难体会到一种英雄惜英雄的情感。Mclean 是一位才华横溢的民谣歌手,但是他的星途却充满坎坷,他总是被美国的主流音乐排斥在外。他曾经沦落到街头唱歌的地步,这不失为一种悲哀。其实整首歌也是Mclean在向世人诉说自己的苦痛。他以极为柔和的歌调折射出满腔的哀怨。但我想说的是,因为天才总是被世俗所曲解,所以能洞悉天才内心的人本身就是天才。让我们向凡高和Mclean这两位天才致敬吧。
2.《色放3——彷徨》
选用歌曲:Bob Dylan《you belong to me》
See The Pyramids
Along the Nile
Watch the sun rise
On a tropic isle
Just remember darling
All the while
You belong to me...
See the market place
In old Algiers
Send me photographs
And souvenirs
Just remember
\'Til your dream appears
You belong to me....
I\'ll be so alone
Without you
Maybe
You\'ll be lonesome, too
Maybe
You\'ll be lonesome too
And blue
Fly the ocean
In a silver plane
See the jungle
When its wet with rains
Just remember
Till you\'re home again
Or until I come home to you
You belong to me...
看过电影《天生杀人狂》的都知道,鲍伯·迪伦在里面唱了这首《You Belong To Me》,这是一首旋律优美的民谣。当然,鲍伯·迪伦并不是这首歌的原作者,这首歌的原作者属于三个人,他们是Pee Wee King、Redd Stewart和Chilton Price。这三位都是上世纪六七十年代的乡村歌手,《You Belong To Me》是他们非常著名的一首作品,曾经被许多人翻唱过,其中还包括原来“披头士”的鼓手Ringo Starr。
这是我非常喜欢的一首老歌。每一次听到,都会想起那对在公路上驰骋的杀手情侣。每一个人都有自己的信仰。杀戮,是不是就是他们的信仰呢?
关于这首歌,我不想再多说了,太美妙了。你只要去听就好了。
3.《跟你死磕》
选用歌曲:Maksim《Still Water》
嗯,一首轻音乐的作品。来自钢琴王子Maksim。流畅的旋律,倾泻的流水一般的音符,包容又冲突,正好印证了丁丁与小可的爱情。祥和中透着绝望。
《跟你死磕》是我最不满意的一个作品,丁丁和小可就在一片干涉当中,这么失之交臂。
4.《从浴缸而来的幸福生活》
选用歌曲:藤田惠美《the water is wide》
The water is wide and I can\'t cross over
Neither have I wings to fly
Build me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row my love and I.
There is a ship and it sails on the sea
Loaded deep as deep can be
But not as deep as the love I\'m in
I know not if I sink or swim.
I leaned my back up against an oak
Thinkin\' it was a trusty tree
But first it bent and then it broke
Just like my own false love to me.
Oh love is gentle, love is kind
Gay as a jewel when first it\'s new
But love grows old and waxes cold
And fades away like morning dew.
The water is wide and I can\'t cross over
Neither have I wings to fly
Build me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row my love and I.
很喜欢这首歌,为什么呢?
因为,在我生活的这个城市里,什么都有,就是,没有水。
当然,这个水我指的是大海或是湖泊。
所以这个城市总是棱角分明,所以我喜欢这首能让我看到宽阔水面的歌曲。
当你置身于嘲杂的人流中,不妨听听《the water is wide》。让一切浮华归为平静。
5.《爱比死冷》
选用歌曲:《love is colder than death》
爱比死冷,很阴冷,很潮湿的一首歌曲。究竟爱是个怎样的形体呢?忽然想到了某年去参观的一次展览。一个红红的心下面,布满了大头针。作品的名字叫做,爱。就是在那一刻,在那个冰冷的展示大厅。我忽然觉得无力。越来越摩登的现代化都市,情感却越来越匪夷所思。
楚天和略微,嗯,注定的结局。这是一个游戏,谁先陷进去了,谁就完蛋了。就是这么简单。
6.《about a boy》
选用歌曲:Led zapplin《stairway to heaven》
“那女人说,要买一条通往天堂的阶梯”。
《stairway to heaven》,很老的一首歌了,最近又找出来再听。
每一次听都有不一样的感受。
真的有通往天堂的阶梯吗?
我只知道城市间有着无数的阶梯,我们上上下下,却总也到达不了理想的顶端。
7.《情人劫》
选用歌曲:Miles davids《my funny Valentine》
非常沉静的一首经典爵士作品。
每一次听总是在清晨或者是深夜。
因为,这个城市的节奏不允许我们在大白天听如此慵懒的动静……
8.《他他》
选用歌曲:suzanna vega《toms diner》
suzanna vega是我非常喜欢的一位女歌手,民谣的代表人物之一。她的歌曲都很有深度,发人深醒。其实我最喜欢的是她的那首关于儿童性暴力的《luka》,轻松的旋律却掩盖不了歌词的晦涩。
剑走偏锋的神奇
