过年的时候选择听什么样的歌?恍然发现,最简单的旋律也许更应景。春节本身已有太多的华丽和喧嚣,何不让清澈、纯真、通透、干净的声音来洗涤一年来忙碌的心灵呢!
先听一首《绿茶》。这首歌出自朱七《我们ii》。清脆的口哨声开场,有节奏的吉他独奏,整首歌曲干净没有杂质,给人一种独具一格,舒服安适的感觉。
朱七是个“简单”的民谣歌手,他的音乐,除了形态是民谣之外,其实同样还是一个平行于现实社会的世界。这个世界,保留着八十年代的理想和向上,纯真与情怀,以及许多慢生活时光的惬意和舒展。他的专辑一直以“笔记”命名,一本、两本……笔记的属性,决定其中没有豪言壮语,笔记的闲碎,又注定其真情流露。
《绿茶》这首歌里面的“小紧张”特别可爱。这种又纠结又温暖的小心情,让我们最美好的年华像一杯绿茶一般,虽然没有轰轰烈烈,但散发着不绝的温馨的清香。也许,我们曾苦恼于自己的青涩和不知所措,但多年以后回头再看,反倒会对当初的忐忑不安会心一笑吧。
朱七选择的创作主题和视角都很平凡,没有思辩的沉重,只有生活的琐碎。我们只会把他当成一个抱着吉他唱歌的、再普通不过的人。然后因为某一生活的触点碰撞、交集,而感动。
Don't You Think It's Time 时不我待
这首民谣出自澳洲的Bob Evans(鲍勃埃文斯)《远郊歌谣》。这是一张关于家园的专辑,带领人们体验澳洲那片纯净的土地,远离城市的喧嚣。它除了赢得澳大利亚唱片工业奖(ARIA,澳大利亚最高音乐奖项),还得到了包括澳大利亚音乐奖的最终名单、J奖的提名。鲍勃埃文斯携带着这张小小的胶盘越过重洋,在洛杉矶、纽约、伦敦、以及南非的约翰内斯堡举行了表演。
Don't you think it's time
Time to start anew
Time for changing views
Time for making up your mind
Don't you think it's time
Time for moving on
Time for growing strong
Time to leave the past behind
You've been on my mind
Oh you've been on my mind
You've been on my mind
Oh you've been on my mind
Don't you think it's time
Time for quelling fear
Time for a new year
Time for meaning what you say
Don't you think it's time
Time for easing doubt
Time for reaching out
Time to open up your eyes
You've been on my mind
Oh you've been on my mind
You've been on my mind
Oh you've been on my mind
Don't you think it's time
Time for trusting more
Without keeping score
Time to let forgiveness out
Don't you think it's time
Time for showing grace
Time for having faith
Time to make more of this time
You've been on my mind
Oh you've been on my mind
You've been on my mind
Oh you've been on my mind
Don't you think it's time
Time to start anew
Time for changing views
Time for making up your mind
Don't you think it's time
Time for moving on
Time for growing strong
Time to leave the past behind
You've been on my mind
Oh you've been on my mind
You've been on my mind
Oh you've been on my mind
Don't you think it's time
Time for quelling fear
Time for a new year
Time for meaning what you say
Don't you think it's time
Time for easing doubt
Time for reaching out
Time to open up your eyes
You've been on my mind
Oh you've been on my mind
You've been on my mind
Oh you've been on my mind
Don't you think it's time
Time for trusting more
Without keeping score
Time to let forgiveness out
Don't you think it's time
Time for showing grace
Time for having faith
Time to make more of this time
You've been on my mind
Oh you've been on my mind
You've been on my mind
Oh you've been on my mind
The Crime at Edmond Lake
Tamas Wells,是一支来自澳洲墨尔本的indie-pop乐团,成立于2000年初,目前已发行4张专辑,曲风清新、平缓而又优美。美丽的山水音乐,带着感情的简单舒缓的旋律和轻柔醉人的嗓音,让人体会这一份充满春天气息的温馨,如沐春风。 平缓优美的旋律,没有什么激昂的东西。可是就这么平淡着,慢慢的渗透到人的内心。
The Crime at Edmond Lake
The leaves were raked at the end of Edmond Lake
埃德蒙湖畔的尽头 叶子被拔得精光
For the teams to find the evidence of why
全是那些家伙们干的 那些成群结队来找证据的人们
They had failed to rise and run out and hide
他们搞不懂自己为何无法起身 跑开 或者躲起来
When they heard the voices calling from the flame trees
每每听到火焰树的呼唤声
I could see if the lovers hadn’t been to the lake that day
我能看得出来 关于那一天 那一对对的情人们是不是真的没去过湖边
They could have found a way
他们应该知道该怎么干吧——
To escape to town and take the Greyhound
逃离小镇 带着那条灰色猎犬离开
With the coins we found
顺便带上我们找到的那些硬币
We went into the morning light
我们就这么一直走下去 走到天都亮了
Won’t you wait, won’t you ever hesitate?
你干吗不等等呢 你就不曾迟疑么
In the leaves you rake at the end of Edmond Lake
就在那些你弄掉了的叶子当中 在埃德蒙湖的尽头
You could find that trail of crumbs and details
看见了吧 那连成串儿的碎屑一样的具体入微的
Of a crime that made us shiver as we climbed back
罪证 在我们往回爬的路上 它们令人瑟瑟发抖
I could tell how a rabbit and a spell
我能看得出来这是怎么回事:单凭一只兔子跟一个填字游戏
Could relieve our eyes of plastic apple pies
是怎么就足够我们望梅止渴了(让我们满足)
And the strings that held our covers in well
还有那些架起了我们的伪装的绳线
And the coins we found
和我们找到的那些硬币
We went into the morning light
我们就这么一直走下去 走到天都亮了 晨光出现
最后,介绍一首《我们的幸福时光》主题曲:卡农调纯音乐。
很多时候,一部电影,比起娓娓道来的情节,更打动你的是一段醉人的乐章。存放在记忆里的声音,可以在任何时候,给自己一片放晴的天空。
