[2006-7-20]刺痛心灵的音乐作品:《La ballade of lady and bird》

La ballade of lady and bird

Lady and Bird


  「Hello…你能听见我们吗?我们迷失了。」
    Lady&Bird--->Keren Ann和Bradi Johannsson,一个是拥有多国血统的混血女创作人,一个是冰岛Trip-hop乐队Bang Gang的主唱。化身为Lady&Bird共同合作的一张同名专辑,优秀的女声出色的编曲。吉他加上一些柔软的和声,入耳是滑腻的,然而又不是一种甜腻,借用一句形容mum音乐的话就是:"于冰冷之处呵出温暖之花"女生合唱的吟或是拟声层次丰富而韵律感十足层层叠叠不犹让人想起莲花之类的东西一层层铺展开来,花瓣柔和呈现的同时清香出来了,浸入人心.很迷恋Lady Bird的和声,简洁明了,力度适宜,音乐不俗,转折或是高潮往往给人京戏不在该到的时候到来,我们终是喜欢在刺激或是未知中得到欢乐的.Lady Bird,是一支有阳光破碎声音的美丽乐队.Lady Bird. 或是Lady and Bird....,叙述他人故事一般的冷静和娓娓道来.并不像Ann个人作品中的那样愉悦,也没有Johannsson惯常的Trip-hop桥段,简简单单的AC Guitar分解和弦,伴随的却是相对复杂的人声,这固然包括了Lady和bird的声音,其中Ann负责了3个声部,所有合成起来,加上歌词,犹如处于自杀的边缘并考虑中,压抑,模糊,同时代有疑虑的感觉...
Lady和Bird在树上欢歌,时间停止在这一刻.




       


一个小女孩和一只不会飞的鸟,在光怪陆离的成人世界里迷失了
她们叫喊着,用最大的力气,却成为最微不足道的声响
被轻易的忽略了,没人注意的孩子的心
我们跳下去吧,从桥上跳下去,大人们会看见我们么
不知道,试试,看会发生什么
   
这是首关于死亡的歌

吉他声过后,两个童音,如同鸟笼中稚鸟的对话,冷落,寂寞,伴随,冰凉...
许久才恢复了些许意识,心沉沉随着故事进行,最后感到锐利的疼痛......

那让人窒息的忧伤对白:

Bird : Lady?
Lady : Yes Bird?
Bird : It′s cold
Lady : I know
Lady : Bird... I cannot see a thing
Bird : It′s all in your mind
Lady : I′m worried
Bird : No one will come to see us
Lady : Maybe they come but we just don′t see them .What do you see?
Bird : I see what′s outside
Lady : And what exactly is outside?
Bird : It′s grown-ups

外面有什么?大人们

Lady : Well maybe if we scream they can hear us
Bird : Yeah, maybe we should try to scream
Lady : Ok, Bird
Lady & Bird : Heeeelp, Heeeelp .Can you hear us now ? Hello ! Help ! Hello it′s me .Hey .Can you see .Can you see me. I′m here .Nana come and take us.Hello. Are you there Hello...
Lady : I don′t think they can hear us

Bird : Do you want to come with me lady
Lady : Will you be nice to me Bird
Lady : You′re always be nice to me because you′re my friend
Bird : I try but sometimes I make mistakes
Lady : Nana says we all make mistakes

Lady & Bird : Help ! Help us ! Come on ! Help Hello ! Help !Hello ! We′re lost
Lady : I don′t think they cannot see us
Bird : Nobody likes us
Lady : But they all seem so big

没人喜欢我们,他们看起来太大了

Bird : Maybe we should just jump
Lady : What if we fall from the bridge and then nobody can catch us
Bird : I don′t know let′s just see what happens
Lady : Okay
Bird : Come with me
Lady : Shall we do it together
Bird : Yeah
Lady & Bird : 1 2 3....Aaaaaaah

他们坠了下去,撞在我心上,Aaaaaaah剧痛

Bird : Lady?

Lady : Bird...I cannot see a thing
Bird : It′s all in your mind
