I Don't Want To Miss A Thing - aerosmith - Enter album here
i could stay awake just to hear you breathing
watch you smile while you are sleeping
while you're far away and dreaming
i could spend my life in this sweet surrender
i could stay lost in this moment forever
every moment spent with you is a moment i treasure
i don't wanna close my eyes
i don't wanna fall asleep
'cause i'd miss you, baby
and i don't wanna miss a thing
'cause even when i dream of you
the sweetest dream will never do
i'd still miss you, baby
and i don't wanna miss a thing
lying close to you feeling your heart beating
and i'm wondering what you're dreaming
wondering if it's me you're seeing
then i kiss your eyes and thank god we're together
and i just wanna stay with you
in this moment forever, forever and ever
i don't wanna close my eyes
i don't wanna fall asleep
'cause i'd miss you, baby
and i don't wanna miss a thing
'cause even when i dream of you
the sweetest dream will never do
i'd still miss you, baby
and i don't wanna miss a thing
i don't wanna miss one smile
i don't wanna miss one kiss
well, i just wanna be with you
right here with you, just like this
i just wanna hold you close
feel your heart so close to mine
and stay here in this moment
for all the rest of time
don't wanna close my eyes
don't wanna fall asleep
'cause i'd miss you, baby
and i don't wanna miss a thing
'cause even when i dream of you
the sweetest dream will never do
'cause i'd still miss you, baby
and i don't wanna miss a thing
i don't wanna close my eyes
i don't wanna fall asleep
'cause i'd miss you, baby
and i don't wanna miss a thing
'cause even when i dream of you
the sweetest dream will never do
i'd still miss you, baby
and i don't wanna miss a thing
don't wanna close my eyes
don't wanna fall asleep, yeah
i don't wanna miss a thing
卡百利乐队( The Cranberries),意译又称小红莓乐队,大家应该不会陌生,有人说王菲就模仿她这种唱法,当然我觉得卡百利这种独树一帜的风格,无人能够比拟。主唱Dolores O' Riordan的嗓音是一种真实的特别,略带鼻音,但不带一丝做作,有种超凡脱俗,凌驾于现实黑暗社会之感,歌词同样发人深省。有名的曲子 < Zombie>, 一首描写战争残酷的歌曲,当她唱出 的那种感觉,就像战争洗刷并重创了人们的心灵,表现出极度的愤怒和那种无力的挣扎。< Never Grow Old> 这首很符合 Dolores O' Riordan 的嗓音,略带清唱,表现出一种对世事的心底的期待,像孩童时的梦想,也像饱含沧桑的低吟,希望一切都不会老,永远年轻,但只是个梦。
我最喜欢的还是卡百利的< animal instinct >, 译为<本能>, 这首也是众多外文歌里我唯一能全部唱下来的,do you know you made me cry, do you know you made me die. 最喜欢的两句,还有那不停歇的,the animal, the animal, the animal instinct in me。不知道这首歌反映了我当时的心态,还是反映了整个社会的心态,总之爱上这首歌就无可救药的不能自拔了。
THE CRANBERRIES - ANIMAL INSTINCT - THE CRANBERRIES
suddenly something has happened to me
as i was having my cup of tea
suddenly i was feeling depressed
i was utterly and totally stressed
do you know you made me cry
do you know you made me die
and the thing that gets to me
is you´ll never really see
and the thing that freaks me out
is i´ll always be in doubt
it is a lovely thing that we have
it is a lovely thing that we
it is a lovely thing, the animal
the animal instinct
so take my hands and come with me
we will change reality
so take my hands and we will pray
they won´t take you away
they will never make me cry, no
they will never make me die
and the thing that gets to me
is you´ll never really see
and the thing that freaks me out
is i´ll always be in doubt
the animal, the animal, the animal instinct in me
it´s the animal, the animal, the animal instinct in me
it´s the animal, it´s the animal, it´s the animal instinct in me
90年代,美国的失业危机重新抬头,朋克乐在音乐界再度爆炸,西雅图的Grunge音乐风暴引起了强烈的反响与轰动,Nirvana就是在这样的背景下诞生的。听过nirvana专辑的人很多,喜欢他们的人也很多,评论的语言当然是更多,再多评论乐队与个人都比不上认认真真去听首好歌来的实在,那么不多废话,听听我推荐的<come as you are>.
<come as you are>首发于专辑<Never Mind> ,后又在不插电演唱会上作为第二首歌。我认为这首不同于nirvana 或Kurt 的风格,吉他节奏较轻快明了,演唱也较平和,没有情绪上太多波动,但整首听起来却别有一番味道,当然是kurt那独特的声线,不得不让人引发更多的想象,但我喜欢的是他的简单,乐风和演唱的简单也是一种美。
Come as you are
As you were
As I want you to be
As a friend
As a friend
As an old enemy
Take your time
Hurry up
The choice is yours
Don't be late
Take a rest
As a friend
As an old memoria
Memoria
Memoria
Memoria
Come
Dowsed in mud
Soaked in bleach
As I want you to be
As a trend
As a friend
As an old memoria
Memoria
Memoria
Memoria
And I swear
That I don't have a gun
No I don't have a gun
No I don't have a gun
Memoria
Memoria
Memoria
Memoria
No I don't have a gun
And I swear
That I don't have a gun
No I don't have a gun
No I don't have a gun
No I don't have a gun
No I don't have a gun
Memoria
Memoria
1993年11月18日,Nirvana应邀为MTV 制作"Unplugged"演唱会,演出了一场经典的演唱会。〈纽约不插电〉专辑,大家耳熟能详,我个人认为是引领了不插电摇滚的先河,并不是第一个,而是最经典的一个。更由于专辑发片后不久,kurt的死亡,更让此专辑成为死前的遗作,也有人说,kurt是在死前用生命的声音演唱了这张专辑,最著名的一首〈where did you sleep last night>, 最后几句那撕心裂肺,让人震撼,也无疑透露出Kurt心中的挣扎与痛苦。
〈SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT〉“ 闻起来像是妖怪味 ” 这首也是nirvana的名曲,一首典型朋克或Grunge风格的曲子,网上评论为“把Kurt Cobain 内心的狂燥、愤怒、压抑、扭曲、病态、激烈的矛盾冲突完全显示了出来,” 不论怎样,听听再说。
Kurt cobain已成为众多乐迷心中的神话,也包括我。1992年,科班娶了另一支地下摇滚乐队--“洞穴”(HOLE)的主唱歌手考特尼•洛夫(Courtney Love)为妻,1994年4月,Kurt被发现尸首。
Kurt cobain 的死成为了人们谈论的焦点,谜团也蜂拥而至。他的死亡至今已有14年了,但我们却仍搞不懂他死于自己精神的痛苦,艺术和商业化冲击的牺牲品?还是死于他沉迷毒品的精神错觉?种种的种种让年仅27的柯特就这样带着所有的绝望和疑惑离开了人世间。或许他自杀的原因就如同他在《where did you sleep last night》中那最后一声无奈的叹息一般,没有人能够真正理解。“Kurt不是神,Kurt不是文化英雄,Kurt也不是艺术家也不是谁的精神领袖。不要因为一个人吸毒过量产生幻觉导致自杀,便把他的照片和事迹高高举起,一举多年。摇滚和毒品从始至终被媒体和群众混为一谈,拜托任何人别盲目的效仿Kurt的陋习”,网上如是评论说。 或许他并不应该成为任何人的精神领袖,但不管你喜不喜欢他,甚至你把他当作逃避现实压力的懦夫,但是你永远无法否定他那种直达人心的慑人力量;他并没有伟大的英雄性格,但他确确实实反映出了这个时代青年内心最深处的挣扎。他忧郁的眼神,他嘶哑的声音。“kurt是一个演错角色,放错位置的人物。他本该是在台下挥舞着双手,尽情发泄的观众,而非在台上寻求解脱的悲剧灵魂。在他的作品中,他已注入了太多的血,投入了他的“真生命”。因而会得到无数青年的共鸣,人总是需要宣泄,需要慰藉的。”
在1990年的时候,有一首名为 “Wind Of Change” 的摇滚歌曲曾风靡全球,歌曲的演唱者是德国最具世界知名度的乐队——Scorpions。
乐队在70年代初发迹于汉堡北方的工业重地汉诺威,在乐团灵魂人物吉他手,也是创团团员的Rudolf Schender,以及声音让人一听就难以忘怀的主唱Klaus Meine的带领下,Scorpions以狂泄的快速吉他演奏、强有力的打击乐器以及辐射极高能量的演唱风格成为欧洲70年代数一数二的重金属领导乐团,主唱Klaus可以飙高到震慑人心地步的歌声,亦成为Scorpions最著名的代表特色之一。80年代中期Scorpions以首席得遥滚乐团之姿狂野横扫欧美乐坛,是少数获得全球性成功的欧洲乐团。他们拥有三张排行Top 10经典专辑:《Blackout》(#10.1982)、《Love at First Sting》(#6.1984)、和《Savage Amusement》(#5.1988)。1988年Scorpions更成为第一支到苏俄表演的重金属乐团。

i lose control because of you babe
i lose control when you look at me like this
there's something in your eyes that is saying tonight
i'm not a child anymore, life has opened the door
to a new exciting life
it's all written down in your lifelines
it's written down inside your heart
you and i just have a dream
to find our love a place, where we can hide away
you and i were just made
to love each other now, forever and a day
i lose control because of you babe
i lose control don't look at me like this
there's something in your eyes that is saying tonight
i'm so curious for more just like never before
in my innocent life
it's all written down in your lifelines
it's written down inside your heart
you and i just have a dream
to find our love a place, where we can hide away
you and i were just made
to love each other now, forever and a day
time stands still when the days of innocence
are falling for the night
i love you girl i always will
i swear i'm there for you
till the day i die
you and i just have a dream
to find our love a place, where we can hide away
you and i were just made
to love each other now, forever and a day
25 years of my life and still
I'm trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
I realized quickly when I knew I should
That the world was made up of this
Brotherhood of man
For whatever that means
So I cry somethimes when I'm lying in bed
To get it all out what's in my head
Then I start feeling a little peculiar
So I wake in the morning and I step
Outside I take deep breath
I get real high
Then I scream from the top of my lungs
What's goin' on
And I say hey...
And I say hey what's goin' on
And I say hey...
I said hey what's goin' on
And I try, oh my God do I try
I try all the time
In this institution
And I pray, oh my God do I pray
I pray every single day
For a revolution
So I cry sometimes when I'm lying in my bed
To get it all out what's in my head
Then I start feeling a little peculiar
So I wake in the morning and I step outside
I take a deep breaththen I get real high
Then I scream from the top of my lungs
What's goin' on
And I say hey...
And I say hey what's goin' on
And I say hey...
I said hey what's goin' on
And I say hey...
And I say hey what's goin' on
And I say hey...
I said hey what's goin' on
25 years of my life and still
I'm trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
关于4 Non Blondes
4 Non Blondes成立于1989年,美国的San Francisco市 。主唱:Linda Perry
《Bigger,Better,Faster,More!》(1992)
这张专辑是4NB的第一张专辑,也他们的最后一张专辑,每次听到这张专辑,就象一个正处在颠峰期的体育明星突然宣布退役一样,给人留下了他美的回忆,这张专辑是靠“What's Up”而走红的,而这首歌也比较完美地体现了Linda峰回路转的嗓音,但这类歌曲在这张专辑里是屡见不鲜,如"Train" "Calling all the people"等,而整个乐队的音乐风格也比较古怪(感觉上象是FUNK与R&B的综合),非常适合Linda那独特的嗓音,抑或振奋还是颓靡,饱含激情地迸发。如果摇滚是蕴涵激情的音乐,那Linda的嗓音就应该是能呼唤出激情的魔音宝盒。
Joey, baby don"t get crazy
Detours, fences...I get defensive
I know you"ve heard it all before
So I don"t say it anymore
I just stand by and let you
Fight your secret war
And though I used to wonder why
I used to cry till I was dry
Still sometimes I get a strange pain inside
Oh, Joey, if you"re hurting so am I
Joey, honey - I got some money
All is forgiven. Listen, listen
But if I seem to be confused
I didn"t mean to be with you.
And when you said I scared you
Well I guess you scared me too
But we got lucky once before
And I don"t want to close the door
And if you"re somewhere out there
Passed out on the floor
Oh Joey, I"m not angry anymore
And if I seem to be confused
I didn"t mean to be with you.
And when you said I scared you
Well I guess you scared me too
But if it"s love you"re looking for
Then I can give a little more
And if you"re somewhere drunk and
Passed out on the floor
Oh Joey, I"m not angry anymore
Angry anymore, angry anymore
