Pictures Of Success - Rilo Kiley



我ＱＱ了

只因為Rilo Kiley太好聽

 

 



成立於1998年，來自美國洛杉磯的樂隊Rilo Kiley發表的每張專輯都大受Indie粉絲的歡迎和喜愛。女主唱Jenny Lewis的聲線是吸引樂迷的主要因素，從第一首歌[A Better Son/Daughter]當中我們聽到，前半部分做了Low-Fi處理的聲音像是在你耳旁娓娓道來，可後半部分卻突然變成在你面前怒吼！這種爆發力就是Jenny Lewis的特點，不是每個個人都具備，也不是想學就學得來的。

主唱Jenn Lewis、吉他手Blake Sennett、貝斯Pierre De Reeder 、鼓手Jason Boesel組成的 indie rock band，準確些應該還包括indie pop和country folk,聽起來,rilo kiley的聲音非一般的清新,但個別的作品中，還是帶有那麼一點的硬朗，曲風上面，rilo kiley主要還是以nylon guitar為主,因此很多作品中,都總有些 country folk的味道,再配合上柔弱而堅韌的聲線，整體感覺上,rilo kiley的作品中我們不難去感受一種積極向上的氛圍，或者一些令人興奮的曲,聽完，或許之前的不快乃至悲傷,都能的到短暫的緩解,沒錯，短暫的緩解…

song: Pictures Of Success







build your own television receiver

staying home can't be that bad for me

cause i'm not scared

but i'd like some extra spare time

easily earn me big money



i'm a modern girl but i fold in half so easily

when i put myself in the picture of success

i could learn world trade

or try to map the ocean



when you're dead

in hospitals and freeways

when you're dead

in resting homes and clinics

when you're dead

it must be nice to finish

when you're dead



i've had it with you

and mexico can fucking wait

and all of those french films about trains

cause i'm not scared

but i'd like some extra spare time

i'm not scared

but the bills keep changing colors



when you're dead

in hospitals and freeways

when you're dead

in dress shirts and neckties

when you're dead

in apartments and on beaches

when you're dead



they say california is a recipe for a black hole

and i say i've got my best shoes on

i'm ready to go (ready to go)

ready to go

ready to go

i'm ready to go

ready to go

ready to go

ready to go

i'm ready to go

ready to go

ready to go

ready to go

i'm ready to go

ready to go

ready to go

ready to go

i'm ready to go



these are times that can't be weathered and

we have never been back there since then



these are times that can't be weathered and

we have never been back there since then



these are times that can't be weathered and

we have never been back there since then



these are times that can't be weathered and

we have never been back there since then
