Hello Saferide - Leaving you behind
Hello Saferide的myspace 可以聽到他其它的歌
Hello Saferide的官網
Hello Saferide瑞典的artist
整個人和創作都很有趣
Leaving You Behind
How I wish you’d lied, or had been untrue
That you hadn’t said: “It’s always you.”
How I wish you hadn’t held me all those lonely, lonely nights!
Makes me wonder, makes me wonder why I’m leaving you behind
And I know I’m going to see you down town
with a pretty girl, and you’ll be holding hands
You’ll both be laughing, and she will be wondering the same as me:
was I crazy?
You know I’ve got to be crazy for leaving you behind
I’m such a worthless being
Ruining all we’ve got for
some kind of feeling that there’s more than this
How I wish there was more than there is
Hello Saferide - My Best Friend
很俏皮的一首歌
"沒有該死的絕地武士和哈比人"這句歌詞很好笑XD
My best friend
You call me up in the mornings
We’ll stay on the phone until dawning
You tell me secrets I actually keep
You call me up around noon and
Bring me all the good gossip
You hold my head when I throw up
I hold your hand when you weep
And we talk about friends and we talk about records, talk about life and
we’ll talk about death, and we dance in the living room, dance on the
sidewalks, dance in the movies, dance at the festivals, dance, dance
No men ever really dance like this
Damn! I wish I was a lesbian
Damn! I wish I was a lesbian
Damn! I wish I was, and that you were, too
So I could fall in love with you
You call me up in the evenings
And tell me what they did this time
No matter what, I’m by your side
When it’s raining, we’ll go to the video store
We even like the same movies
No damn jedis or hobbits this time
And you laugh at my jokes and I laugh at your jokes and I even like the
birthday presents you get me,
and we dance in the living room, dance on the sidewalks, dance in the
movies, dance at the festivals, let’s dance, dance.
No men ever really dance like this
Why don’t, why don’t I fall
Why don’t I just fall in love with you
Hello Saferide - Long lost penpal
原名Annika Norlin的Hello Saferide,邁入07年的最新動向是Sakert!這支以瑞典傳統語言與歌謠為創作藍本的音樂project。素有鄰家女孩形象,acoustic pop風味的恬淡民謠,Hello Saferide拾起一把空心吉他,以小女孩的自吟帶來了委實動人的「Introducing...Hello Saferide」專輯。
關于這張專輯評價中有這么一句:“這是一張關于相思成災,寂寞無眠和美好回憶的專輯,洋溢其中的淳淳愛意令人迷醉。”
一首《Long Lost Penpal》是講述的是兩個筆友之間的平凡動人的故事,這種不張不揚的曲風淡淡慵懶,淡淡從容,淡淡幽雅,淡淡憂傷,淡淡美麗,淡淡寂寞,似不經意地低吟淺唱,卻吐氣如蘭.微笑并且流淚的花朵在青春的季節里永不會凋謝……
<以上介紹轉自網路>
很有趣的一首歌,隔空往返對答的情境,還有爆點
卻十分寫實
交筆友現在經不流行了
失去聯絡十年了
細數從前互相傾訴種種,對照如今嫁做人婦
筆友闊別十年重拾聯絡
輕快的小品卻夾雜濃濃的傷感
Hello Saferide我開始迷上你了
Hello
Do you remember me
I am your long lost pen pal
It must have been ten years ago we last wrote
I don’t really know what happened
I guess life came in the way
Let me know if you’re still alive
Let me know if you ever used that knife or not
Hello
Yes I remember you
I’ve got a husband and two children now
I work as an accountant and make fairly good money
I still have your letters, you used a pink pen to write them
And you would comfort me
when my tears would stain the ink
And I would send you mix tapes with Kate Bush on
I have to admit I sometimes lied in those letters
Tried to make life better than it was
I still wasn’t kissed at sixteen
And I still need a friend
There was this letter
I never told you this back then
But it would be fair to say it saved my life
I sat in the window
The only one left out from a party again
Pretty sure I didn’t have a single friend
Then I checked the mailbox
Dear long lost penpal
I was lying the whole time
I’m really a 46 years old man named Luke
I have three children
and a wife, she doesn’t care
And I hope you don’t resent me
And I hope you do not hate me
For trying to find my way back to what it’s like to be young
I have to admit I sometimes lied in those letters
Tried to make life better than it was
I still wasn’t kissed at sixteen
And I still need a friend

Stars - My favorite book
這就是Stars的魅力
女主唱的vocal已經夠迷人
再加上男主唱
男女合唱已經犯規了
was always late
you never afraid that we could be falling
all our friends would say
that maybe we should wait
but they can't see what's coming
and to this day when everything breaks
you are the anchor that holds me
and that is why we'll always make it
how i know your face
all the ways you move
you come in
i can read you, you're my favorite book
all the things you say
the way you shift your eyes
i never knew there was someone to make me come alive
when the days are long and the thunder with the storm can always get me crying
well you can make my bed, i'll fall into it
shattered but not lonely
cause i never knew a home
until i found your hands and when i'm weathered you come to me you're my best friend
and that is why we'll always make it
how i know your face
all the ways you move
you come in
i can read you, you're my favorite book
all the things you say
the way you shift your eyes
i never knew there was someone to make me come alive
and when we're making love
i'd give everything up for your touch
how i know your face
all the ways you move
you come in
i can read you, you're my favorite book
all the things you say
the way you shift your eyes
i never knew there was someone to make me come alive
and when you go to work
all the day i wait for you to come home
and we can have time in our little place
our little place
Stars - Take Me To The Riot
這首歌相當於一顆搖頭丸的劑量
Grey skies and light fading
Headlamps making patterns on the wall
Uptown it's dead now but
Out here no one seems to care at all
Slick girls and sick boys and
Each one lining up to take him home
They hold tight, their coin and
They pray no one has to see them fall
I'm there yeah, I serve them
The one with the empty looking eyes
Come closer, you'll see me
The face that is used to telling lies
Saturday nights in neon lights
Sunday in the cell
Pills enough to make me feel ill
Cash enough to make me well
Take me, take me to the riot
Take me, take me to the riot
Take me, take me to the riot
Take me, take me to the riot
Take me
You sprung me, I'm grateful
I love when you tell me not to speak
I owe you, but I know you
You'll have me back but it's gonna take a week
What now kid? Which way love?
Will we ever make up and be friends
Good news is, my shoes is
Lined with all my nickels and my tens
Let's do that, just feed me
I hate when I have to get to sleep
You despise me and I love you
It's not much but it's just enough to keep
Saturday nights in neon lights
Sunday in the cell
Pills enough to make me feel ill
Cash enough to make me well
Take me, take me to the riot
Take me, take me to the riot
Take me, take me to the riot
Take me, take me to the riot
And let me stay
And let me stay
Let me stay, let me
Let me stay
Maia Hirasawa - Still June
still June
100%的絕對抒情
感覺眼淚已經懸在眼角
I looked up into the sky
I thought I catched your eye
you reminded me
there's nothing to see
but maybe you are wrong
baby, I could come along
that would be quite fair
when you're never here
and it should, it should be winter now
but my mind is still june
and you should, you should
have given me your wings by now
so I could catch your eye
And I am not alone
I'm here with someone
she never got the chance
and I hate myself for that
cause my heart stopped to
but some just for a while
should I be thankful? no
I hate you for that
It should, it should be winter now
But my mind's still june
and you should, you should
have given me your wings by now
so I could catch your eye
It should, It should be winter now
But my mind still june
and you should, you should
have given me wings by now
so I could catch your eye
so I could catch your eye

最近一直花大錢,有點對自己太好了一點
Nikon SB800、襯衫、皮鞋、Lowepro NOVA 4 AW一機四鏡攝影大側背包
以一個禮拜要聽三唱新專輯的速度
手機的2G記憶卡已經塞爆很久了
每次只能忍痛殺好聽的舊歌,再裝好聽的新歌
所謂舊歌也不過是上個月前常聽的,愛聽的新歌
我突然想要買I pod classic
我喜歡聽的歌太多了,手機的walkman不敷使用
這個理由很充分吧~
不過apple的產品都是奢侈品,因為太漂亮了
應該都只能擺在櫥窗展示,怎麼能夠忍心使用,讓他刮到呢
但是考慮之後要去當兵
平常會聽的時間也真的不多,聽多也傷耳的現實因素
有點猶豫不決
能夠把所有喜歡的歌裝進去I pod是多麼令人趕到欣慰與安全感的事情阿
classic 80G 目前還夠我裝
我真的是衝動購物型的,完全不精打細算,也完全不理性
很多瘋狂的舉動,連我自己也都會嚇一跳
念頭閃過三次,那我一定毫不猶豫就會去做了
完全離題了
今天還是來介紹歌的
這首歌是收錄在台灣默契音樂發行的"Stockholm touch"聽見斯德哥爾摩
裡面總共收錄了北歐瑞典11首好聽的indie pop
這首是第三首Highschool drama
從第二首開始一路嗨下去
睡覺做夢也會笑
這張唱片金石堂、誠品都可以很好買到
99元一張,俗又大碗
當初就是貪小便宜,又被專輯封失焦的瑞典紅衣小女生陽光般的燦爛笑容所吸引
是99元賣太便宜,打破市場行情,還是代理的權利金比較低
99元是一張好聽得令人驚奇的唱片,400,500元也是一張唱片
讓我不禁思考倒底音樂的價值在哪裡?
真的可以秤金論兩在算在賣嗎??
市儈地一張專輯一次收錄個20首歌然後可以賣比較多錢??
我想音樂得價值來自創作者的用心將他所感受到的熱情傳達給我們
而我們透過歌曲歌聲也深受感動
這一份熱情與感動是無價的
我實在也無法估出數目
熱情與感動都太多了
If I can afford it, I will be willing to buy it.
最近開始逛唱片行,收藏我覺得可以傳世的CD
10年,20年後還是可以隨手順手放來聽的那種

Adele - Make You Feel My Love
Bob Dylan原唱
很多人翻唱過
有人說amy winehouse的歌聲是苦澀的黑咖啡
我覺得最近英國這一系列爵士靈魂女聲甜度Duffy > Adele > winehouse
但是都很過癮
Adele的chasing pavements我覺得很適合用來搭配香水廣告
When the rain
Is blowing in your face
And the whole world
Is on your case
I could offer you
A warm embrace
To make you feel my love
When the evening shadows
And the stars appear
And there is no one there
To dry your tears
I could hold you
For a million years
To make you feel my love
I know you
Haven't made
Your mind up yet
But I would never
Do you wrong
I've known it
From the moment
That we met
No doubt in my mind
Where you belong
I'd go hungry
I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling
Down the avenue
No, there's nothing
That I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love
The storms are raging
On the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
Though winds of change
Are throwing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing
Like me yet
I could make you happy
Make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends
Of the Earth for you
To make you feel my love
另外一個我喜歡的版本Josh Kelley唱的
比較瀟灑,比較man,一樣感人
最近瘋狂迷上這首歌,歌詞太感人啦
Duffy - Scared
The blank pages of my diary,
That I haven't touched since you left me,
The closed blinds in my home
See no light of day.
Dust gathers on my stereo
Cos I can't bare to hear the radio
The piano sits in a shaded space
With a picture of your face.
I'm scared to face another day
Cos the fear in me just won't go away.
In an instant, you were gone and I'm scared.
Coffee stains on your favorite book
Remind me of you so I can't take a look.
The magazines you left on the floor,
You won't need them anymore.
A towel left hangin on the wall,
No sign of wet foosteps in the hall
There's no smell of your sweet cologne.
I'm lying here alone.
I'm scared to face another day
Cos the fear in me just won't go away.
In an instant, you were gone and now I'm scared.
I'm scared to face another day
Cos the fear in me just won't go away.
In an instant, you were gone, now I'm scared.
In an instant you were gone and I'm scared.

Indie pop喪心病狂
造成一場indie pop大災難
當場六張全數打包
另外順手帶走了三張小白兔唱片最近發行的
RF & Lili De La Mora - eleven continents
PELA - Anytown Graffiti
Stars - In our bedroom after the war
拆包裝膠膜拆得好辛苦
當然盡數都還沒有時間聽
這實在是很瘋狂的舉動
之前我最多最貪心的記錄,也不過同時買兩張而已
Stars - in our bedroom after the war的專輯封面色彩跟
梵谷夜晚的露天咖啡座配色很接近
從來沒有聽過,也沒聽說過
一股野性的直覺加上
背後樂迷背書的介紹文字起頭
"聽著Stars,我不斷想起電影【王牌冤家】裡,
凱特溫絲蕾與金凱瑞躺在結冰的湖上,
呼著霧氣、緊握著手,仰頭害羞的數著繁星,那戀愛初始的場景。
跟隨著Stars來到第四張大碟,聽見專輯同名曲
「In Our Bedroom after the War」
長達近7分鐘的史詩作品,弦樂綿密織造起最後的高潮,
在寒風的夜裡聽得我眼淚直飆,
彷彿【王牌冤家】裡的雪花結晶般下墜,凍在臉上,
戀愛雖然才剛初始,
卻可能即刻崩毀的小小哀傷…。"
毫不猶豫得"給我全部拿下!!!"
就這樣我發現了來自加拿大indie pop的傳說天團(有人這麼說)
有人說它們是加入了電子音樂的belle & sebastian
但是聽起來更元素豐富,也更溫暖
看到PTT indie pop版有網友這樣形容Stars的Set yourself on fire這張專輯
"走在路上戴起耳機聽它們的專輯裡的隨便一首歌,都讓自己感覺是某部電影裡的男女主角"
然後一堆人留言回覆他們對stars的迷戀,對這張專輯崇高的評價
我看完後趕緊再跑去玫瑰唱片
把haert和set yourself on fie一網打盡
好險有找到,尤其玫瑰唱片放了一連多達10張的set yourself on fire並列
可見真的賣得很好
其他專輯都只有放兩三張
只能說set yourself on fire 真的很經典
另外關於來自英國蘇格蘭的belle & sebastian
它們的專輯封面都是很隨性的用女生的照片
拍的都很有質感,每個畫面好似都是個故事
它們的音樂歌聲,像60年代的復古
good old time那樣美好
台灣代理它們的馬雅唱片是這樣形容他的
"世界會不會就此變的美好,就看你愛不愛belle & sebastian"
"世界真的沒啥好在抱怨,在聽過belle & sebastian之後"
雖然indie-pop的專輯側標說明都寫得有點唬爛
但是音樂是真的、感動是真的
戴上耳機聽聽看,一切盡在不言中
最近才發現WWR小白兔唱片 這個新興唱片代理商
從發現它們居然代理了冷門的seabear之後
我就知道它們真的代理的都是各國好聽的indie pop
有一個小白兔唱片行的工作人員知道我一次買三張
seabear - the ghost that carried us away後
還寄信給我表達感謝,說他心花怒放
回信我趁機想凹張VIP還是會員的
但是工作人員說會員集點才有
不過要帶裡更多好聽的indie pop 他說沒問題
書店裡的書都可以坐下來看的構想
將來我想要轉投資開一家代理外國indie pop的唱片行
然後每一張專輯,每一首歌都可以在店裡面每個角落或沙發試聽
你聽得高興
聽的喜歡再買
然後像星巴克開個什麼咖啡講座的活動
大家來討論聊聊關於indie pop的樂團
來聊聊各自的感動
聽起來很不錯
像電影High Fidelity(失戀排行榜)中
尼克‧宏比筆下的那樣的一家唱片行
侃侃而談每一首曲字的來由
和客人推薦
以下是我最近得意的戰利品清單
2008年6月3日 星期二
