El Pedregel

做project時翻出Love Spirals Downwards 於1997年的舊碟來聽. 突然發現第一首曲子El Pedregel 后面的吉他聲很耳熟, 仔細想想, 發現原來是像The Cure的Last Day of Summer
(兩者風格其實差挺遠的…這聯想是有點扯 )

另附Last Day of Summer作比較

Lullaby (Editors cover)

The Editors翻唱The Cure的名作摇篮曲, 唱腔似Nick Cave多于Robert Smith
不过, 私以为他们确有捕捉到后者刚出道时的神髓. 那深不见底的黑暗气息…

忙到焦头烂额, 同时也很颓丧的五月.
很多告别, 很多怀旧, 也有很多不如人愿
…气氛凝重得让人了失去向前看的勇气.

于是所听的音乐也不知不觉走上疗伤系的路.

Punk… Not Diet!
Artist: Giardini di Miró
Release Date: 2003
Genre: Post-rock

Tracklist:
1. Too much static for a beguine
2. The swimming seasons
3. Given ground (oops… revolution on your pins)
4. Connect the machine to the lips tower *be proud of your cake*
5. Once again a fond farewell
6. The comforting of a transparent life
7. When you were a postcard
8. Last act in Baires
9. Dolphins are here to watch your blue blood flow

来自意大利的后摇Giardini di Miró总是那么细腻柔美, 把人的心都要融化掉似的. 催眠首选.
(ps: 标题和内容牛头不对马嘴…其实这张唱片一点都不punk; 甚至还有点pop~)

The Cure 又出新专辑了, 单曲The Only One还是满耐听的. 萝卜头大叔的创作力怎么就这么持久呢??

以前放mp3试听的网站MediaMax变成了LinkUp, 之前的文件也没了, 苦啊…

Faith

alien — Fri, 17 Aug 2007 07:47:14 +0000

catch me if i fall
i’m losing hold
i can’t just carry on this way
and every time i turn away
lose another blind game
the idea of perfection holds me…
suddenly i see you change
everything at once the same
but the mountain never moves…

rape me like a child
christened in blood
painted like an unknown saint
there’s nothing left but hope…
your voice is dead
and old
and always empty
trust in me through closing years
perfect moments wait…
if only we could stay
please
say the right words
or cry like the stone white clown
and stand
lost forever in a happy crowd…

no-one lifts their hands
no-one lifts their eyes
justified with empty words
the party just gets better and better…

i went away alone
with nothing left
but faith

演唱会上两个差点落泪的时刻都是在encore期间:
Plainsong 和 Faith.
并非因为喜悦.
而是音乐和灯光丶投影所渲染出恍如宗教般的庄严气氛
让人从心底为这样的凄美, 以及
乐者超越凡人的存在而颤抖

(也许… 那就是”信仰”罢)

听前排的人说,
Robert Smith在演奏Faith时紧闭双眼
眼角隐约还带着泪光
当时他脑海中浮现的会是怎么一种景象呢
