憂傷小調(diào):我生命的第一天 Bright Eyes
Artist:Bright Eyes
Song:First Day of My Life
This is the first day of my life
Swear I was born right in the doorway
I went out in the rain, suddenly everything changed
They're spreading blankets on the beach
Yours is the first face that I saw
I think I was blind before I met you
I don't know where I am,
don't know where I've been
But I know where I want to go
So I thought I'd let you know
That these things take forever,
I especially am slow
But I realized how I need you
And I wondered if I could come home
I remember the time you drove all night
Just to meet me in the morning
And I thought it was strange, you said everything changed
You felt as if you'd just woke up
And you said, "This is the first day of my life"
I'm glad I didn't die before I met you
But Now I don't care, I could go anywhere with you
And I'd probably be happy"
So if you want to be with me
With these things there's no telling
We'll just have to wait and see
But I'd rather be working for a paycheck
Than waiting to win the lottery
Besides, maybe this time it's different
I mean I really think you like me
??? 2005年1月Bright Eyes同時發(fā)表了兩張唱片《Digital Ash in a Digital Urn》和《I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning》,聽上去并不太一樣。我個人更喜歡前者,Connor Oberst在這張里的演唱竟然會讓人感覺到Robert Smith的影子。Bright Eyes這些年在獨立音樂圈中廣受好評,音樂上貫徹的是松弛自省,憂郁感傷的美學(xué)概念。與那些上口的Indie-pop相比,Bright Eyes的音樂顯得不那么流行。
??? Bright Eyes的音樂適合一個人在深夜里聆聽,很個人化的氛圍與傾訴感。編曲上Bright Eyes采取的是不大類型化的方式,不拘泥于一種格調(diào),而是開放性地吸收各類音樂手段。Connor Oberst的唱腔自然是他們的招牌,悲苦脆弱。
