英伦摇滚(Britpop)是什么?
是狂傲、是另类、是自由
是优雅、是迷幻、是脆弱
……
它带给我们的感受太过丰富。
感受英伦摇滚的精神,
感受大不列颠的优雅与不羁。
听英伦摇滚,当然要从这几支乐队听起。
▌The Beatles是一座丰碑。这支成立于1960年的乐队缔造了无以伦比的辉煌,把摇滚乐带到了一个新的历史阶段。他们的好歌太多,风格又太多元化,这里选一首经典的和一首稍微不那么脍炙人口的。
这首歌被誉为披头士的巅峰之作。旋律简约流畅,歌词隽永优美。
Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be,
There's a shadow hanging over me.
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.
Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say.
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play.
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say.
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play.
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
听听电吉他轻声饮泣的声音,真挚动人。
▌Oasis是近十年来英国最受欢迎和最受评论家承认的乐队之一,音乐和作风充满了平民气和桀骜不驯的男子气概,带有明显的英国抒情色彩。
大气、高亢,听着感觉眼前天地都开阔了。
心情随着潮水般层层涌上的旋律蒸腾、飞升。
▌漫不经心的演唱和孤傲、超然的个性是The stone roses最酷的地方。
迷死人的电吉他。
Your knuckles whiten on the wheel
The last thing that your hands will feel
Your final flight can't be delayed
No land just sky it's so serene
Your pink fat lips let go a scream
You fry and melt I love the scene
Sometimes I fantasize
When the streets are cold and lonely
And the cars they burn below me
Don't these times
Fill your eyes
When the streets are cold and lonely
And the cars they burn below me
Are you all alone?
Is anybody home?
I'm standing warm against the cold
Now that the flames have taken hold
At least you left your life at style
And for as far as I can see
Tin twisted grills grin back at me
Bad money dies I love the scene
性感得无可救药。10分钟的歌,一点不觉长,就是这么带劲。
▌Radiohead的音乐极具探索精神,风格大大超越了一般吉他流行乐的范围。他们的曲风凄美婉转,把人卷入美丽而伤痛的漩涡。
可以无限循环的一首歌。从低声的诉说到绝望的爆发,高潮部分绝美。
梦境一般缥缈、柔软。
▌Pink Floyd是上世纪60年代经典的英伦迷幻摇滚乐队,属于艺术摇滚,对“太空摇滚(space rock)”做出了探索。
飘忽、迷幻、迷茫、无助。
让浮躁的心平静下来。
▌他们将英伦流行乐引入世界,主唱的唱腔让人着迷,糅杂了调皮、戏谑、颓靡、华丽各种风情。
异域风情的旋律,配上主唱的唱腔,极其妖艳。
华丽又俏皮的一首歌。
▌Blur是90年代最受欢迎的Britpop乐队之一,音乐幽默诙谐,充满年轻人的气息和新浪潮的气味。
轻快、悦耳、耐听,有按摩耳膜的功效。
Do you feel like a chain-store
Practically floored
One of many zeros
Kicked around bored
Your ears are full, but you're empty
Holding out your heart
To people who never really
Care how you are
So give me coffee and TV
Peacefully
I've seen so much, I'm going blind
And I'm brain-dead virtually
Sociability
Is hard enough for me
Take me away from this big bad world
And agree to marry me
So we can start over again.
Do you go to the country
It isn't very far
There's people there who'll hurt you
'cause of who you are
Your ears are full of their language
There's wisdom there you're sure
'till the words start swirling/slurring
And you can't find the door
抖腿神曲。
▌Pulp是一个另类摇滚乐团,乐队有一个平民化的神经质主唱,而且音乐里加入了舞曲风格,光怪陆离而迷人。
病态的、半念半唱的吟颂,后劲十足。
充满讽刺和自嘲意味的一首歌,网友戏称其为“屌丝之歌”。
▌Coldplay的音乐温暖又带点忧郁,是英国摇滚乐坛进入新世纪之后崛起的新霸主。
气势磅礴,铿锵有力。整首歌以法国大革命为背景,用路易十六的口吻叙述了一段动荡的历史,世事的变迁,耐人寻味。
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning, I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you go there was never, never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world
It was a wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Calvary choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never rule this world
But that was when I ruled the world
极其耐听的一首歌。忧伤、动人。
▌一支承前启后的乐队,以清新传统的英式吉他音乐见长。
舒缓的节奏、悠长、抒情、阳光、温暖。
声线迷人,清新脱俗。
