在网上看到Tori Amos的名字,脑袋里面第一个反应出来的,是那首呐喊的Silent all these years,还有那首浅吟低唱的Parasol。Silent all these years可能会比较出名,我第一次听是在孙燕姿的一张翻唱专辑里面,当时觉得孙唱得挺不错的;再找到Tori的原唱,就被震住了,那种无奈,压抑,嘶哑呐喊的感觉表现得淋漓尽致,而且听的时候总是会不自觉的想到Nirvana的《Smell like a teen spirit》,可能是因为两者风格较像吧。
另外一首Parasol,我几年前无意从网上下过Tori的《The Beekeeper》专辑,里面第一首歌就是Parasol,当时旋律和歌曲的感觉完全就是让我过耳不忘,所以今天一想到这首歌,脑袋里面就不停的回响“When I come to terms to terms with this”,还有“Then the Seated Woman with a Parasol, may be the only one you can't betray, if I'm the Seated Woman with a Parasol...” 下载,戴上SR80,一听,背上再次冷汗直冒~歌曲还是氛围仍然是很压抑的,整首歌也没有太大的起伏;歌曲无论是旋律还是歌词都是压抑而郁闷的,可是就是很好听;所以我觉得在晚上听时就会有一种复杂的感觉。

Parasol歌词:
Parasol lyrics
When I come to terms to terms with this
When I come to terms with this
When I come to terms to terms with this
My world will change for me
I haven't moved since the call came
Since the call came I haven't moved
I stare at the wall knowing on the other side
The storm that waits for me
Then the Seated Woman with a Parasol
May be the only one you can't betray
If I'm the Seated Woman with a Parasol
I will be safe in my frame
I have no need for a sea view
For a sea view I have no need
I have my little pleasures
This wall being one of these
When I come to terms to terms with this
When I come to terms with this
When I come to terms with this whip lash
of silk on wool embroidery
Then the Seated Woman with a Parasol
May be the only one you can't betray
If I'm the Seated Woman with a Parasol
I will be safe in my frame
I will be safe
In my frame
In your house
In your frame
再贴上一个Silent All These Years的歌词吧,挺不错的:
excuse me but can i be you for a while
my dog won't bite if you sit real still
i got the anti-christ in the kitchen yellin' at me again
yeah i can hear that
been saved again by the garbage truck
i got something to say you know but nothing comes
yes i know what you think of me you never shut up
yeah i can hear that
but what if i'm a mermaid
in these jeans of his with her name still on it
hey but i don't care
cause sometimes i said sometimes i hear my voice and it's been
here
silent all these years
so you found a girl who thinks really deep thoughts
what's so amazing about really deep thoughts
boy you best pray that i bleed real soon
how's that thought for you
my scream got lost in a paper cup
you think there's a heaven where some screams have gone
i got 25 bucks and a cracker do you think it's enough
to get us there
but what if i'm a mermaid
in these jeans of his with her name still on it
hey but i don't care
cause sometimes
i said sometimes
i hear my voice and it's been
here
silent all these..
years go by will i still be waiting
for somebody else to understand
years go by if i'm stripped of my beauty
and the orange clouds raining in my head
years go by will i choke on my tears
till finally there is nothing left
one more casualty
you know we're too
easy
easy
easy
well i love the way we communicate
your eyes focus on my funny lip shape
let's hear what you think of me now
but baby don't look up
the sky is falling
your mother shows up in a nasty dress
it's your turn now to stand where i stand
everybody lookin' at you
here take hold of my hand
yeah i can hear them
but what if i'm a mermaid
in these jeans of his with her name still on it
hey but i don't care
cause sometimes
i said sometimes
i hear my voice
i hear my voice
i hear my voice
and it's been
here
silent all these years
i've been here
silent all these years
silent all these
silent all these years
