提一下最近的一首心水之选,是Sarah McLanchlan的Vox。话说是最近在驴子上把Sarah McLanchlan的那张处女专辑Touch拖了下来,首首精彩,其中一首最得我心的就是这首Vox.有一种莫名的熟悉之感,听着此歌,仿佛能嗅到山水灵气,澎湃却又清新。
突然想起好像是好几年前,那时的教育电视台在节目之间会有一小段《请您欣赏》,会放放MV之类的,大多是很老的那种,那时看过一个,如果没有记错好像就是这首歌,1989年的时候。
今天去youtube上看了视频,果真不然,就是这首歌,MV里Sarah一头红发,戴着有民族风格的耳环,夹克加短裙,80年代风格,站在一片青山秀水之间将鲜花撒向缓缓流动的河流,溅起朵朵水花,不似黛玉葬花,而有一份独特的豪气与洒脱。
比起后来那个弹着钢琴唱着Angle的优雅女子,那时的Sarah McLanchlan初出茅庐,竟有几分像PJ Harvy那般民谣女诗人的范儿,的确很少见。
添上MV,我力荐!
还有另一个版本的MV,和我当年看的不一样,不过觉得和歌词的意境更加相配。
差点忘记再添上歌词了。
In the desert of my dreams I saw you there
And I'm walking towards the water steaming body cold and bare
But your words cut loose the fire and you left my soul to bleed
And the pain that's in your truth's deceiving me, has got me scared
Oh why?
Through your eyes the strains of battle like a brooding storm
Your up and down these pristine velvet walls like focus never forms
My walls are getting wider and my eyes are drawn astray
I see you now a vague deception of a dying day
Oh why?
I fall into the water and once more I turn to you
and the crowds were standing staring faceless cutting off my view to you
They start to limply flail their bodies in a twisted mime
And I'm lost inside this tangled web in which I'm lain entwined
You're gone and I'm lost inside this tangled web in which I'm lain entwined
Oh why?
