[音樂週記] 聖誕專輯(咦明明早就過了)


Mark Lanegan (註1) 在去年聖誕發行應景 EP

Dark Mark Does Christmas

如專輯名帶給幾首傳統聖誕歌曲另一種滄桑及陰鬱的味道,
全輯 Lo-Fi 製作聽起來更飽經風霜。
用他特有的火燒嗓翻唱這首美國 psychedelic rock 先驅 Roky Erickson (註2) 的作品
"Burn the Flames",再適合不過了。



聽完有點意猶未盡 .__.
以下歌詞

Here I sit
A vampire at my piano
The flames burn glaringly higher
And the eyes that stare
through the darkness
Though they have no form
There's no need for alarm

So burn, so burn
Burn the flames higher and higher
So burn, burn the flames
Never to expire

Here I sit
A skeleton at my organ
The candles in my candelabra
burning hellishly, hellish hell

And the laughter unending echoes
through the haunted house
A little Christmas spirit
Ghostly haunting deadly spirit
Every creature is stirring
Even the mouse

So burn, so burn
Burn the flames higher, higher, higher, and higher
So burn, burn the flames
Never to expire

So burn...
Burn the flames higher, higher, higher, and higher
So burn, burn the flames
Never to expire

Here I sit myself at my instruments
Here they sit at their instruments
And the music fills and fills
Terrifies, horrifies, forever scares
The children of the night
What music we make

So burn, so burn
Burn the flames higher and higher
So burn, burn the flames
Never to expire


※ 註1
不太喜歡用什麼派系分類或抖一堆歷史背景來介紹歌手
最早認識 Mark Lanegan 是聽了 Kurt Cobain 的

‧Where did you sleep last night


才發現其實是 Mark Lanegan 把原本的鄉村民謠改成這樣的風貌和唱法。
(關於 Where did you sleep last night 這首歌的考據下次音樂週記待續) <<< 已經更新!
然後聽到

‧Wedding Dress


Mark 的嗓音和纖細女聲產生的反差也 唉喲~真的很亮很漂亮~

‧Mark Lanegan & Isobel Campbell- Come On Over (Turn Me On)


youtube 評論: whispering in the darkest room, just the sound of two distant
voices and a glass of whisky on the bedside table

※ 註2
Roky Erickson 領軍的 13th Floor Elevators 是 60 年代第一個以迷幻搖滾自稱的樂團,或
許也是最早因為涉及藥物濫用而遭法律制裁及輿論譴責的樂團吧...

‧You're Gonna Miss Me


Burn the Flames 收錄於 1981 年他個人的經典專輯《The Evil One》,
專輯的歌詞可以感受到強烈的惡魔意象與詭譎氣氛。

‧Bloody Hammer


Roky Erickson 因為藥物濫用罹患精神分裂症,一直覺得自己是外星人受到地球人的排擠
及攻擊而隱居躲避這個世界,接受治療康復後才再度出來面對人群。

成名作同名紀錄片 You're Gonna Miss Me 紀錄他這個大起大落的人生


不知不覺就寫這麼多了,
這什麼音樂週記的東西希望就算沒人看還是可以繼續亂寫下去
