[MV]Dido - Sand In My Shoes

2010-12-18T07:15:00.000-08:00

Two weeks away it feels like the world should've changed

But I'm home now

And things still look the same

I think I'll leave it to tomorrow till unpack

Try to forget for one more night

That I'm back in my flat on the road

Where the cars never stop going through the night

To real life where I can't watch sunset

I don't have time

I don't have time

[Chorus:]

I've still got sand in my shoes

And I can't shake the thought of you

I shake it all, forget you

Why, why would I want to

I know we said goodbye

Anything else would've been confused but I wanna see you again

Tomorrow's back to work down to sanitation

should've run back ?? before I left here

Try to Mama show her that I was happy here

Before I knew that I could get on the plane and fly away

From the road where the cars never stop going through the night

To real life where I can't watch sunset

And take my time

Take up our time

[Chorus]

I wanna see you again

Two weeks away, all it takes to change in time around by falling

I walked away and never said that I wanted to see again

[Chorus x2]

I wanna see you again

I wanna see you again

在PRAISE的结尾，当邻居老黑人和他的情人翩翩起舞，郁闷的Gordon打开唱机，下午的房间里充满阳光和希腊女歌手ARLETA感伤、悠扬的歌声让人无比感伤，……带着美好的向往，含泪的微笑，青春的挽歌，……又象是夏夜的惆怅，失去的爱情……

Lasgo - Something

2009-01-23T06:10:00.000-08:00

Something

I don`t wanna say that I`m sorry
Cause I know there is nothing wrong
Don`t be afraid there is no need to worry
Cause my feelings for you are still strong

Hold me in your arms
And never let me go
Hold me in your arms
Cause I need you so

I can see it in your eyes
There is something
Something you wanna tell me
I see it in your eyes
There is something
That you hide for me
Is there a reason why ?
There is something
Something you wanna tell me
I see it in your eyes
There is something
That you hide for me

I don`t wanna say I`m sorry
Cause I know there is nothing wrong
Don`t be afraid there is no need to worry
Cause my feelings for you are still strong

Pajaro Sunrise - Sunday Morning Birds

2009-01-10T04:07:00.001-08:00

Pajaro Sunrise是由Pepe López 、Yuri Méndez两人组成的组合，06年5月组队，这是他们发行的第一张同名专辑。从专辑封面上看到的一个人、一辆车，累了睡、醒了走的生活状态，就知道这是一张拥有遐意轻松生活表情的专辑，歌如封面。

整张专辑里混合着INDIE、JAZZ、FOLK等音乐风格，特别是在JAZZ方面，似乎不单包括了《Wild days》中西班牙音乐里常见的BOSSA NOVA，还有些早期的SWING JAZZ的成份在，例如《California lover》的那段钢琴SOLO。其他的都以轻松自然的FOLK与ROCK为主，很可爱随性的一张音乐作品。

Neil Young - Hey Hey, My My(Out Of The Blue)

2008-09-25T06:16:00.002-07:00

My my, hey hey
Rock and roll is here to stay
It's better to burn out
Than to fade away
My my, hey hey

Out of the blue and into the black
They give you this, but you pay for that
And once you're gone, you can never come back
When you're out of the blue and into the black

The king is gone but he's not forgotten
This is the story of a Johnny Rotten
It's better to burn out than it is to rust
The king is gone but he's not forgotten

Hey hey, my my
Rock and roll can never die
There's more to the picture
Than what meets the eye
Hey hey, my my

一支锈迹斑斑的老枪，一把哀怨苍凉的口琴，一位在世的Grurge“教父”，这就是我们心目中的Neil Young。少有端坐的Neil Young，一脸沉思相，冷酷的墨镜和夹克，似乎很难和他舞台上疯狂拨动吉它的形象相连。不过，这也许正是Neil Young在根源与激进、民谣和朋克之间自如来去的缘由吧！

Neil Young既非流落街头的英国老“崩克”，也不像热爱田园的美国乡村大叔，他是位地地道道的多伦多人，加拿大才是他的祖国，虽然他的摇滚生涯是在U. S.A开始。自杀的Kurt Cobain在绝笔书上遗下这么几句歌词：It's better to burn out than tofade away. 这正出自Neil Young那首绝唱“Hey,Hey,My,My(Into the Black)”。每次唱这首歌时，人们会特别注意到Neil Young吉它带上佩着的Jimi Hendrix的襟章，也会记住这首歌两个不同的的面貌：热情倾诉的Acoustic版和粗重、阴沉的电吉它版，它代表了Neil Young真挚动人的别样情怀。

回顾Neil Young四十年的音乐旅程，倒是很有一番感触的。五十年代的草创、六十年代的狂飙、七十年代的光荣、八十年代的迷途和九十年代的回归，他个人的这条发展曲线也多多少少浓缩了时势的演进。四十年代来，Neil Young像个辛勤的园丁一样不停滴汗苦作，但直到Alternative“雄起”的时候他才被人们抬上了台面，冠之以各种美誉，而这对Neil Young只是无足轻重的安慰罢了，因为他根本就是个摇滚变色龙，怎么可能被这种陈词滥调定位呢？

Neil Young最早的战斗历史要追溯到五十年代中期的Squires，一支半职业化的乐队。少年轻狂的Neil Young从Rock N'Roll中发现了奇迹般的生命力，决心为之献身。那时他受Bob Dylan的民歌感染最深， 1964年的Mynad Birds才是一支以R&B为基础的摇滚乐队，不过坚持的光景却不长，固执的Neil Young又邀来三五好友，成立了被称为当时美国最好的Buffalo Springfield，狂热的崇拜者紧追不舍，毒品也慢慢渗透他们的生活，于是Neil Young又毅然抛弃短暂的热闹，悄悄独闯上路。1969年，他的第一张纯个人大碟在万众惊诧中面世了，他选择了完全与过去背叛的道路，这是一张极具多样和古典的唱片，人们无法预测Neil Young的下一步会怎么样。结果是，他又将一支名叫Rocket的乐队改头换面，这就是后来追随他多年风雨同舟的Crazy Horse，Neil Young此后的音乐无论怎么变， Crazy Horse总会不时安分的出现。从第一张《EverybodyKnows This Is Nowhere》开始，Neil Young凭Crazy Horse出众的乐器驾驭力，不断寻求新的突破。

70年代十分值得人们纪念，Neil Young在其中也留下了不灭的痕迹。Jimi Hendrix、Janis Joplin、The doors、Traffic、King Crimson都在那时候走出来，而Neil Young除了与Crazy Horse即兴合作外，还续写了一个Crosby、Still、Nash & Young的神话时代，那也是一个不折不扣的民歌乐队。不过令人难以置信的是，直到1988年， NeilYoung才有机会与Stephen Stills、David Crosby、Graham Nash几位老队员聚在一起，灌录了他们的第一张录音室大碟。相反，Neil Young的个人选集倒是一张紧接一张。其中，《After the Gold Rush》恰如标题预示的那样，正是Neil Young在金光下奋勇前冲的剪影，和着悦耳动听的乡村和民谣旋律，他轻松咂弄着忧伤。多年以后， S. TEtienne和Everything But the Girl都相继翻唱了其中的作品，由此可见它多么的深入人心。《Harvest》也是他最为重要的一张作品，好多歌都流传至今，在“Alabama”中他唱道： “I come to you and see all this ruin，what are you doing Alabama？You got the rest of the union to help you along， what's going wrong？ ”《Harves》的巨大胜利后，人们都等待Neil Young再炮制一张类似的专辑，但这次他们又跌得好痛。 Neil Young置轻车熟路的成功模式不顾，重新召集了一批独特的乐手，《Tonight's the Night》展示了他全新的风貌：黑暗、痛苦的氛围，远离主流的听觉冲击。原来拿着吉它唱民歌的Young也可以如此野性！1979年，深受Sex Pistols的影响，《Rust Never Sleeps》充斥了粗糙、激烈的朋克乐风，他招牌式的“Hey，Hey，My，My”就出自那时。

八十年代，Neil Young一直在蜕变中沉浮、迷失，这其中他玩过很老式的50年代摇滚、乡村、布鲁斯，也跟过摩登的New Wave风尚。喜欢他的听众觉得Neil Young变了。不再是昔日眼中的英雄，而乐评界也有不少冷言冷语。Neil Young对此依然故我，并称绝不与扼杀创意的时代妥协。不过，到1989年，他终于还是来了一次大的回归，《Freedom》帮他找到了自我与大众都能接受的结合点。

1990年， Neil Young与冷落多时的Crazy Horse复合，《Ragged Glory》重性的车库摇滚正迎合即将兴起的Grunge潮起，Neil Young顺势东山再起，并被后辈推为Grunge之父。 1992年，他凭《Harvest Moon》重拾了《Harvest》当年的质朴情怀，而《Mirror Ball》专辑中，他干脆便召来Grunge大牌乐队Pearl Jam为他伴奏，彻彻底底的Grunge了一回。其实，他只不过是将七十年代的把老枪擦亮后再重新拿出来用罢了！为电影《Dead Man Walking》作完Ambient和实验色彩的配乐后，Neil Young今年与Crazy Horse继续携手，推出了他第43张专辑《Broken Arrow》。这次，他侧重电吉它、Jazz和鼓的互Jam, 唱得较少，而清淡的民谣味和浓重的摇滚声融合得如此赏心悦目。多首长达近十分钟的即兴曲目，也一再显示了他坚守七十年代摇滚的本色和实力。Neil Young一贯都有些抚慰人心的慢板感性作品，这次也不例外，“Music Arcude”空心吉它奏出的空灵味相信你我都意绪难平的。他还再度演绎了Jimmy Reed 61年的经典作品“Buy what you want me to be” ，不过不再是猫王当年的那种“姣”音，即兴与蓝调味十足，就像坐在Pub中听歌一样。

对很多人来说，Neil Young的声音并不好听，很高亢甚至有些刺耳，而在我却是直入心灵的一枪。他的歌不乏社会写实，只不过更多的时候热情代替了愤怒，倾诉换取了控诉，但他这把不服老的摇滚老枪却永远火爆十足。

Neil Young - Heart of gold

2008-09-25T06:16:00.001-07:00

I want to live,
I want to give
I've been a miner for a heart of gold.
It's these expressions I never give
That keep me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.
And I'm getting old.
I've been to Hollywood
I've been to Redwood
I crossed the ocean for a heart of gold
I've been in my mind, it's such a fine line
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.
Keep me searching for a heart of gold
You keep me searching for a heart of gold
I've been a miner for a heart of gold.
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold
