Re: [離題] 過年的灌水
Baxendale / You Will Have Your Revenge (2001)
Baxendale 聽起來像是 New Order、Pet Shop Boys 放在一起
就是放到八零舞曲中也相當出色 -- 實際上放了就停不下來 :p
但是也不只是這樣,Tim Benton 的聲音承襲了 Serge Gainsbourg, Momus, Jarvis
那種帶著嘲諷意味的自覺著流行歌曲本質的氣質
ꄠMusic For Girls 的開頭他這樣唱著:
Oh I remember back in '91, feeling good jumping on my bed
I had my favourite record on, my brother came into my room
and said:
"well if this is really music I wouldn't want it in my world
well if this is really music ... this is music for girls"
so back in town, in '95, filling in for a drunken DJ
I tried to keep the floor alive,
but all the boys at the bar would say:
"well if this is really music I wouldn't want it in my world
well if this is really music ...
然後描述著他跟一個女孩子的故事,青春的殘片跟舞池交錯的記憶
舞曲跟合聲用力的跳著,與那嘲諷世故的聲音形成高度反差
在這之間,卻沒有人能夠停下來
歌詞的最後一段是這樣寫的
this is music for girls - oh everything has all gone wrong
it feels like I'm singing the blues
I'll write a million modern pop songs
but from now on, this is music for you
and only for you, this is music for you,
I don't care about anyone else,
please, don't go...
易碎的夢想與蒼白的浮華,如果不是這樣的舞曲,也難以企及。
這些句子如果看作創作的註腳,也許更能察覺出這些完美的 Dance-Pop 的價值
以及那些八零年代的音樂怎麼留下了痕跡。
