中文名称:9
发行时间:2006年11月14日
专辑歌手:Damien Rice
地区:英国
语言:英语
专辑介绍:
Damien Rice在2003年发行了个人的首张专辑《O》,专辑刚发行,变让Damien Rice红遍了非主流音乐界。成为一位知名的唱作人。不但是国外,在我们中国Damien Rice的FANS也是相当的多,我记着前俩年,几乎各各论坛都会有人去发Damien Rice《O》专辑中的歌曲,简直可以用泛滥来形容。同时也让大家重新认识了Damien Rice所演绎的爱尔兰的音乐。这张新专辑命名为《9》,又是以极其简单的方式面向大家。新专辑《9》将在11月3号在爱尔兰首先发行,而后是11月6号将在英国和欧洲地区发行,最后的11月14号才会在美国正式发行。至于我们中国...估计2007年的11月吧。呵呵,玩笑话。来看看新专辑,整整10首歌曲。风格继续延续上张专辑的风格民谣,独流流行和Singer/ Songwriter。不同的是,这张专辑有2首非常突出的歌曲,分别是Rootless Trees和Me, My Yoke and I,突出之处在于别与他们以前的风格,这俩首歌曲特别摇滚,有点Indie Rock的感觉,听后,给我一种很新鲜的感觉,演绎的摇滚曲风原来也很不错。
相对这张专辑的风格,我可以给这俩首歌曲满分。原因就是非常特别。剩下的歌曲,就是Damien Rice以往的风格,第一首歌曲9 Crimes,是一首以钢琴为主旋律配带着提琴的忧伤抒情歌曲,继续加上和Lisa Hannigan的女声和唱,专辑开篇便给我们一种熟悉的感觉,仿佛是上张专辑中的歌曲。专辑中Lisa Hannigan同样也参与了很多合声和合唱的部分。这点与上张仍然一样。Elephant是木吉他小调的歌曲,Damien Rice又在一次展示了他的嗓音,就像是清唱一样。专辑的最后一首是Sleep Don't Weep,一首近6分钟的歌曲,Damien Rice只演唱了小部分,接下来是Lisa Hannigan演唱了一小部分,剩下了结尾曲,在钢琴和Lisa Hannigan的合声中结束了整张专辑。

Leave me out with the waste
This is not what I do
It's the wrong kind of place
To be thinking of you

For somebody new
It's a small crime
And I've got no excuse

If you don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold it
Is that alright with? Yeah...
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright? Yeah...
With you.
Leave me out with the waste
This is not what I do
It's the wrong kind of place
To be cheating on you
It's the wrong time
but she's pulling me through
It's a small crime
And I've got no excuse
Is that alright? Yeah...
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright with you?
If you don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold it
Is that alright? Yeah...
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright
Is that alright with you?
Is that alright?
Is that alright?
Is that alright with you?
Is that alright?
Is that alright?
Is that alright with you?
No...

Longpigs是一支激情与勇气兼备有着显着旋律感但有些傲慢的英式乐队。他们在1994年在家乡Sheffield成立。 b]QUhDx,N
尽管他们在举行了他们首次小型演出以后便与一个大厂牌签约,但是随着公司的破产,特别是在新厂牌必须支付500,000英镑才能把他们赎回的不利条件下,他们的命运变得岌岌可危。最后他们进入U2的Mother唱片公司。 ]0 wy l
1996年初他们的单曲进入了英国榜Top40,随后进入Top20。他们在1997年为U2的巡回演出做开场嘉宾。 FE V- o0

[评论]Damien Rice 不只是苦情男人
我是罗 发表于 2006-12-31 15:50:40

从U2主唱Bono嘴里说出来的话,一般会有很多人买帐。在前不久U2的一次纽约演唱会上,Bono向在场的所有人这样形容当晚的嘉宾Damien Rice:“你将要听到的Damien Rice就如同60年代初期的Bob Dylan,或是70年代初的Cat Stevens和James Taylor,以及另外一些非常出色的歌者。他拥有那种足以平息一场暴风雨的淡然魅力。他真是个非凡的天才!我几乎无法相信世界上竟然真的会有这样的人存在。”
不管Bono此番话是出自几分真心,他的基本意思大多数人应该是可以认同的:Damien Rice确实是这几年来出现的一位颇为难得的歌者。3年前的首张专辑《O》不仅成功的奠定了Damien Rice新民谣唱作人的身份,而且一举为他在口碑和销量上获得了双丰收。凭借《O》,Damien Rice在那一年当仁不让的挤进了Sufjan Stevens、Sigur Ros和TV on the Radio等尖子生的行列,专辑中的几首单曲,比如“The Blower's Daughter”和“Cannonball”被日后频繁的用作电影、电视剧中的主题歌或插曲,Damien Rice一时间变得家喻户晓中外驰名。
其实,细想想Damien Rice的成功其实很简单。在他的音乐中,人们最欣赏的无非就是那份极为淡然的情感流露。用钢琴、木吉他、大提琴等最简单的乐器来陪衬,搭配Damien Rice娓娓诉说的唱腔。他惯用自己的音量来控制歌曲的情绪发展。这其中不存在任何一点你不知道或者听不出来的繁杂。他的嗓音会让大多数人的耳膜有舒适的按摩感,时而极近,有如他就站在你的身边只为你一人而唱;时而又极远,仿佛那歌声是随着风从远方飘来的。Rice是个唱苦情歌的(至少在《O》里是这样的),然而决不是那种俗套的口水歌或者半死不活的调调。他的作品大多有苦甜参半的优美旋律,像民谣,但又比传统民谣高贵和隐忍一些。像Damien Rice这样的,深得时下那些听流行嫌俗听摇滚又嫌吵的小白领们的亲睐。
时隔三年,Damien Rice在今年11月发行了第二张正式专辑《9》。在标题上延续了上张《O》的极简风格,那么内容上呢?大方向上Rice选择了保险起见的重复《O》的套路——毕竟这还只是他的第二张专辑;而在细节上他为我们带来了不小的惊喜。从一个有能力出唱片的人的角度来说,他一定会希望能在每张新专辑中都做出些新意——无论这种变化是人为的还是水到渠成的。尤其像Damien Rice这么一个新贵唱作人,首专就使自己名声雀起,在此之后的第二张确实需要谨慎斟酌。
比较两张专辑你会发现,从《O》到《9》,这是一个还算自然发展的过程。《O》中那些招牌式的元素大多还可以在《9》里找到踪影:优美流畅的编曲,朴实无华的原声器乐,Rice随情节发展时大时小的音量模式。而在新专辑中,它们已经不再是全部支柱和特点了。如果说《O》中的Rice是个有点文弱的苦情男,那么到了《9》中,Rice则一边继续苦情而一边以硬朗的愤怒来回应苦情。这让我想起了以前听过Damien Rice翻唱Radiohead的“Creep”,他以纯粹的苦情男频道演绎这首歌总让我觉得有点怪。而现在,Rice在自己的专辑中向很多人证明了这点,他也是条可以摇滚起来的汉子!而且绝对有鼻子有眼的。这是整张专辑最大的亮点。
《9》中Damien Rice依旧启用了在首专《O》中起到极大添彩作用的女声Lisa Hannigan和大提琴手Vyvienne Long。专辑同名歌曲“9 Crimes”在第一时间就深深的将听者沦陷了:极富Damien Rice苦情风味的钢琴旋律,先引出的是Hannigan气若游丝的悲戚嗓音,然后第2段才响起Rice那隐忍而磁性的声音。两个人的声音彼此缠绕的上升,弦乐将整首歌推向高潮。旋律美得一塌糊涂,甚至要好过《O》中任何一首知名单曲;在此之后的“The Animals Were Gone”明显比前一首平淡了太多,落差感让人觉得这不过是一首念白式的乡村民谣,其中的爱意倒颇显甜蜜;“Elephant”是首典型Damien Rice结构作品,发展过程呈开口向下的抛物线状:开始时人声和吉他都是生怕让人听见的状态,然后曲调逐渐爬升人声和吉他也逐渐放开手脚,之后大气的鼓和电吉他带来高潮,最后一切又回复到开始时悄悄的状态;第4首“Rootless Tree”一定会让很多人大跌眼镜,因为它第一次让人们见识到了貌似过于儒弱的Damien Rice也是会发飙的。以一段甜美的吉他solo开始,你完全不会猜到后面会发生什么。Chorus时Rice伴着给劲的电吉他,瞬间变了一个人似的狠狠的不断重复着“Fuck U Fuck U”,一扫他平时留给人们那种只会自己拧巴不会对外发泄的“苦情男人”印象;第6首“Coconut Skins”也采用了Damien Rice作品中鲜有的明快节奏,带来了几分美国西部乡村摇滚的味道,他大大咧咧的甩着嗓子“La~La~La~”,就像牛仔一样酷;之后的“Me, My Yoke and I”是整张专辑中Rice转形最为成功的一首歌,一上来便直接是闷骚的电吉他,Rice越唱调越高,最后逐渐变成摇滚式的嘶叫,高潮部分的感觉十分像早期的PJ Harvey,粗砺的爆发力一定会将大部分“大米迷”击昏,不失为是Damien Rice至今最摇滚的一支作品;High曲过后,迅速转回常规Damien Rice 频道的“Grey Room”显得有些平庸;而在第9首“Accidental Babies”中,伴着深邃忧郁的钢琴旋律,我们再次看到了那个让人心碎到无以复加的男人。在演绎此类拿手曲目时,Rice似乎比《O》时更为游刃有余了。专辑的收场曲“Sleep Don’t Weep”貌似有点儿充数的嫌疑,虽然同样很柔很美,但这种柔美有点让人想睡觉。
从《9》中我们看到,Damien Rice是个可以让人有盼头的唱作人。尽管那几首几乎毫无新意可言的充数作品阻止了《9》彻底成为一张具有大胆创新意味的专辑,然而可以到达这个尺度,达到这种效果,Damien Rice这次已经成功了。不管是苦情的还是摇滚的,他慷慨的与我们分享了更多的可能性。Damien Rice从《O》开始,这张《9》会让他走的更好。

Love, love is a verb
Love is a doing word
Feathers on my breath
Gentle impulsion
Shakes me makes me lighter
Feathers on my breath
Teardrop on the fire
Feathers on my breath
In the night of matter
Black flowers blossom
Feathers on my breath
Black flowers blossom
Feathers on my breath
Teardrop on the fire
Feathers on my breath
Water is my eye
Most faithful my love
Feathers on my breath
Teardrop on the fire of a confession
Feathers on my breath
Most faithful my love
Feathers on my breath
Teardrop on the fire
Feathers on my breath
Stumbling a little
Stumbling a little
Love, love is a verb
Love is a doing word

Supergrass - in it for the money
Here I see a time, to go,
We'll leave it all behind.
And you know it's wrong, to fall.
We're in it for the money,
We're in it for the money,
We're in it for the money,
We're in it for the money,
We're in it for the money,
We're in it for the money,
We're in it for the money,
Got my mind made up,
Got my finger on the button, going way home,
Got the sound turned down,
Got a feeling in my pocket, going way home,
Well all I can see is our love,
And all I can hear is her,
Well all I can see is our love,
And all I can hear is her.
Got my mind made up,
Got my finger on the button, going way home,
Got the sound turned down,
Got a feeling in my pocket, going way home,
Got my mind made up,
Got my finger on the button, going way home,
Got the sound turned down,
Got a feeling in my pocket, going way home,
Got my mind made up,
Got my finger on the button going way home,
Got the sound turned down,
Got a feeling in my pocket going way home!!
究竟我想得到的是什么呢?

Coldplay - Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on, our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
From now on, our troubles will be miles away
Here we are, as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us
Once more
Through the years, we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star above the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
[试听]Coldplay - Animals
我是罗 发表于 2006-12-17 17:06:30

Coldplay - Animals
Animals we are
Disposable, collapsable and raw
In you go into some crowded room
And animals that climb
And they're climbing over you until you say
Off you go, off you go
Animal I am
And I'm looking for an answer just like you
I should know which way to turn
An animal that runs
And I ran away from you because I'm scared
Off you go, off you go
If you're gonna go, go now
If you're gonna go, go now
I forgot to tell you now
So if you're gonna go
Go now
Animal you are
Disposable, defenceless yes and
Watch your mouth, boys watch your mouth
I'm an animal that runs
And I made all my excuses to you
And I mised my chance by a stones throw
If you're gonna go, go now
If you're gonna go, go now
I forgot to tell you now
So if you're gonna go
Go now
Go now
Go now
Go now
One
Now crumble
Crumble and fall
Crumble and fall like an animal
Yes I crumble
Crumble and fall
Crumble and fall like an animal
Yes I crumble
Crumble and fall
Crumble and fall like an animal
一直非常喜欢Coldplay。曾经一个人待在某个地方的时候,就是靠它给予我精神的支持。但当我离开那里的时候,我就不敢再听酷玩的歌了。因为它的歌记载着我在那里时的情感。我不想回忆起来…………………………
