    More Than Words by Extreme.....这么好听的歌,今天才注意到!

      


    Extreme乐队应该算是80年代末期所涌现的一大批重金属乐队中最出色的一支了。其实,他们的风格不应仅仅被局限于重金属,Rap, Folk, Jazz, Blues等都有涉猎,他们的每张专辑都是高水准之作,特别是乐队吉他手 Nuno Bettencourt 出色的表现,他是乐队的核心人物,乐队的专辑绝大多数都是他独立制作完成的。他的演奏继承了 Eddie Van Halen 华丽、多变的风格。Nuno Bettencout和他带领的 Extreme乐队,的确是重金属中的“绅士”,干净和跳跃,是 Nuno Bettencout 的最大特点和优点。就音乐来说,Extreme 是干干净净,心平气和的,以吉他为主,通过旋律和技巧来表现,已经脱离了单纯的愤怒宣泄。

    Extreme成立于1986年,阵容是 Nuno Bettencourt(guitar), Gray Cherone(vocals), Patrick Badger (bass), Paul Geary (drums)。乐队于1989年推出了首张同名专辑。时的乐迷们似乎更愿意看到他们心中的偶像在电视中口吐脏话,在舞台上叼着烟大摔吉他之类傲慢不驯的 举止,而 Extreme 的小伙子们则显得过于健康文静,缺少花哨的包装与花边新闻,这也使 MTV 等娱乐业的宣传机器忽视了他们极高的音乐水准与严肃的立意。我行我素的乐队成员们坚持着自己的风格并没有向媚俗的音乐传媒和乐迷们屈服,于1990年推出 极为经典之作——《Pornograffitti》。

    1990年,乐队推出第二张专辑《Pornograffitti》,走的是和上张专 辑相似的路线,但水准比上张专辑有明显的提高,不提Nuno Bettencourt复杂多变的吉他演奏,Gary高亢而又富于激情的演唱也为专辑增色不少,当然 Partrick 的贝斯和 Paul 鼓也很出色,但销量还是上不去,“也许乐队本身出了毛病”, 显而易见,乐队的曲风太广,有的时候甚至让人觉的偏离了重金属/硬摇滚的主线,像专辑中充满怀旧风格的钢琴抒情曲 “When I First Kiss You” ,怎么也无法让人相信这是由一支重金属乐队演唱的;还有乐队并不像其他重金属乐队那样到处口吐污言、惹事生非,似乎显得太“文静”了,这又是他们不受宠的 原因,因为绝大重金属乐迷都喜欢他们的偶像摆出一付傲慢不驯,胡作非为的样子。但乐队并不想为此而改变,他们继续从专辑中推出他们认为好听的单曲 “More Than Words” ,这是一首仅用一把木吉他伴奏,没有一丁点儿金属味的情歌。没想到却一炮打响,该曲打上了 Billboard 单曲榜的榜首,从而带动了专辑的销量,专辑的销量最终超过300万张。 

    1992年,旷世之作《III Sides Of Every Story》推出了,这是一张长达80余分钟的概念专辑(注,该专辑磁带版长81分钟,CD版长76分钟),说起概念专辑,以前象 Pink Floyd , Yes, ELP 这些经典前卫艺术摇滚乐队的作品已给人们留下了很深刻的印象,而象 Extreme 这样一支年轻的金属乐队创作的这张专辑,水准甚至超过了那些老前辈。新作推出后评论界好评如潮,专辑中除保持了上张专辑中 Extreme 特有的演奏演唱风格外,在音乐铺排和作品内涵的深度上均达到了一个全新的高度。专辑被分为 “Yours”, “Mine”, “The Truth” 三个部分,反映了乐队对这个世界的愤怒和担忧,从第一首气势汹汹的 “Warhead” 到结尾交响乐伴奏的到结尾交响乐伴奏的 “Who Cares”,你甚至不能说这是一张重金属专辑。值得一提的专辑中 “The Truth” 部分,共三首歌曲,却长达二十余分钟,而且一气呵成、绝无冷场,很显然这是一张需要去慢慢体会的专辑,只是 “More Than Words” 的歌迷很显然是无法再满足了。令人遗憾的是,这张精心制作的专辑并未创作市场奇迹,歌迷们对这张需要很长时间去消化的专辑缺乏应有的耐心,《III Sides Of Every Story》并未延续乐队上张专辑的销售佳绩。 

    在重金属音乐极为不景气的1995年,Extreme 仍然我行我素,在 1995 年推出了一张更为自我的专辑《Waiting for the Punchline》,一反前几张专辑的雄心勃勃与精制,新专辑是本着反朴归真的精神完成的,甚至制作时也未作任何 EQ 和 Reverb 混音处理,此时乐队的鼓手已换为 Mike Mangini。乐队并没有因为重金属音乐的没落而增加音乐的商业性,专辑的下场也可想而知了。

    以 后随着重金属音乐空间的日趋缩小,一直很少听到乐队的消息。直到乐队灵魂人物在1996年底推出首张个人专辑《Schizophonig》,在专辑 中,Nuno Bettencourt 将以前 Extreme 里的东西抛至一边,一头扎进了另类摇滚中。Extreme 已正式宣告解散。1998年,Nuno Bettencourt 推出第二张专辑《Mourning Widows》。而 Gary Cherone 则过渡到 Van Halen 乐队,成为他们的第三位主唱,磨合一阵后,推出专辑《Van Halen III》,Gary 的表现不错,Eddie Van Halen 也称他们擦出了新的火花。但对于像 Extreme 这样优秀的乐队的解散,真的感到很可惜。

    白月光——三月雪夜闷骚人隆重出品

    白月光
     
    原唱:张信哲
    翻唱:wusongdahu
     
    白月光 心里某个地方
    那么亮 却那么冰凉
    每个人 都有一段悲伤
    想隐藏 却欲盖弥彰

    白月光 照天涯的两端
    在心上 却不在身旁
    擦不干 你当时的泪光
    路太长 追不回原谅

    你是我 不能言说的伤
    想遗忘 又忍不住回想
    像流亡 一路跌跌撞撞
    你的捆绑 无法释放

    白月光 照天涯的两端
    越圆满 越觉得孤单
    擦不干 回忆里的泪光
    路太长 怎么补偿

    你是我 不能言说的伤
    想遗忘 又忍不住回想
    像流亡 一路跌跌撞撞
    你的捆绑 无法释放

    白月光 心里某个地方
    那么亮 却那么冰凉
    每个人 都有一段悲伤
    想隐藏 却在生长
    Mmm...

    Yesterday 愁昔 ——古文翻译(zz)

     Yesterday
    愁昔

    Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
    昔,愁皆如逝,

    Now it looks as though they're here to stay
    今,愁皆如至。

    Oh, I believe in yesterday.
    矣!吾寐于昔,


    Suddenly, There's a shadow hanging over me.
    忽,一影袭身。

    I'm not half the man I used to be,
    叹!不若旧稚。

    Oh, yesterday came suddenly.
    惊,昔忽而复。

    Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say.
    伊人未云何故去。

    I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday.
    君尝失言欲溯昔。

    Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play.
    昔,戏情如舒弈。

    Now I need a place to hide away.
    今,欲遁于九地。

    Oh, I believe in yesterday.
    矣!吾寐于昔。

    Because You Loved Me - Celine Dion

     

    For all those times you stood by me
    For all the truth that you made me see
    For all the joy you brought to my life
    For all the wrong that you made right
    For every dream you made come true
    For all the love I found in you
    I'll be forever thankful baby
    You're the one who held me up
    Never let me fall
    You're the one who saw me through through it all

    You were my strength when I was weak
    You were my voice when I couldn't speak
    You were my eyes when I couldn't see
    You saw the best there was in me
    Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
    You gave me faith 'coz you believed
    I'm everything I am
    Because you loved me

    You gave me wings and made me fly
    You touched my hand I could touch the sky
    I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
    You said no star was out of reach
    You stood by me and I stood tall
    I had your love I had it all
    I'm grateful for each day you gave me
    Maybe I don't know that much
    But I know this much is true
    I was blessed because I was loved by you

    You were my strength when I was weak
    You were my voice when I couldn't speak
    You were my eyes when I couldn't see
    You saw the best there was in me
    Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
    You gave me faith 'coz you believed
    I'm everything I am
    Because you loved me

    You were always there for me
    The tender wind that carried me
    A light in the dark shining your love into my life
    You've been my inspiration
    Through the lies you were the truth
    My world is a better place because of you

    You were my strength when I was weak
    You were my voice when I couldn't speak
    You were my eyes when I couldn't see
    You saw the best there was in me
    Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
    You gave me faith 'coz you believed
    I'm everything I am
    Because you loved me

    I'm everything I am
    Because you loved me

    祝你幸福

    看着你背影模糊,你的微笑早已失去了温度.
    其实心里最清楚,再也无法为你付出.
    已经走到这一步,我想我们真的已经迷了路.
    终点永远到不了,最后只好举手认输.

    祝你幸福,除此以外,我还能送你什么礼物.
    以后的每一天,我会微笑,为我祝福.
    祝你幸福,早就知道就算怎样留也留不住!
    不如就此放手,让你自由也祝你幸福.

    从此以后,你是你我是我,再不会抱着你哭.
    也不用担心我,我会认得回家的路途.

    要学会祝福

    Old Folks at Home 故乡的亲人 - Stephen Foster

    Way down upon the Swanee River,
    Far, far away
    That's where my heart is turning ever
    That's where the old folks stay
    All up and down the whole creation,
    Sadly I roam
    Still longing for the old plantation
    And for the old folks at home
     
    All the world is sad and dreary everywhere I roam
    Oh darkies, how my heart grows weary
    Far from the old folks at home
     
    All 'round the little farm I wandered,
    When I was young
    Then many happy days I squandered,
    Many the songs I sung
    When I was playing with my brother,
    Happy was I
    Oh, take me to my kind old mother,
    There let me live and die
     
    All the world is sad and dreary everywhere I roam
    Oh darkies, how my heart grows weary
    Far from the old folks at home
     
    One little hut among the bushes,
    One that I love
    Still sadly to my mem'ry rushes,
    No matter where I rove
    When shall I see the bees a humming,
    All 'round the comb
    When shall I hear the banjo strumming,
    Down by my good old home
     
    All the world is sad and dreary everywhere I roam
    Oh darkies, how my heart grows weary
    Far from the old folks at home

    沿着那亲爱的斯瓦尼河畔,千里迢迢,
    在那里有我故乡的亲人,我终日在怀念;
    世界上无论天涯海角,我都走遍,
    但我仍怀念故乡的亲人,和那古老的果园;
    走遍天涯,到处流浪,历经辛酸,
    离开了我那故乡的亲人,使我永远怀念。

    幼年时我常在农场里,到处游玩,
    我曾在那里愉快地歌唱,度过幸福的童年;
    幼年时我终日和兄弟们,尽情玩乐, 她身边;
    走遍天涯,到处流浪,历经辛酸,
    离开了我那故乡的亲人,使我永远怀念。

    我家在丛林中小茅屋,颇多喜欢,
    无论我流浪到何方,它总使我怀念;
    何时再相见蜜蜂歌唱,在蜂窝边,
    何时再听见悠扬的琴声,在我可爱的果园;
    走遍天涯,到处流浪,历经辛酸,
    离开了我那故乡的亲人,使我永远怀念;

    走遍天涯,到处流浪,历经辛酸,
    离开了我那故乡的亲人,使我永远怀念。

    You Raise Me Up by Josh Groban

    When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
    When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
    Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
    Until you come and sit awhile with me.

    You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
    You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
    I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
    You raise me up... To more than I can be.

    You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
    You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
    I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
    You raise me up... To more than I can be.

    You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
    You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
    I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
    You raise me up... To more than I can be.

    You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
    You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
    I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
    You raise me up... To more than I can be.

    You raise me up... To more than I can be.

    好歌推荐——Child(by Freddie Aguilar)

    When you were born into this world
    Your mom and dad saw a dream fulfilled
    Dream come true
    The answer to their prayers

    You were to them a special child
    Gave 'em joy every time you smiled
    Each time you cried
    They're at your side to care

    Child, you don't know
    You'll never know how far they'd go
    To give you all their love can give
    To see you through and God it's true
    They'd die for you, if they must, to see you live

    How many seasons came and went
    So many years have now been spent
    For time ran fast
    And now at last you're strong

    Now what has gotten over you
    You seem to hate your parents too
    Do speak out your mind
    Why do you find them wrong

    Child you don't know
    You'll never know how far they'd go
    To give you all their love can give
    To see you through and God it's true
    They'd die for you, if they must, to see you live

    And now your path has gone astray
    Child you ain't sure what to do or say
    You're so alone
    No friends are on your side

    And child you now break down in tears
    Let them drive away your fears
    Where must you go
    Their arms stay open wide

    Child you don't know
    You'll never know how far they'd go
    To give you all their love can give
    To see you through and God it's true
    They'd die for you, if they must, to see you live


    Child you don't know
    You'll never know how far they'd go
    To give you all their love can give
    To see you through and God it's true
    They'd die for you, if they must, to see you live

    Imagine --- John Lennon


    Imagine there's no heaven,
    It's easy if you try,
    No hell below us,
    Above us only sky,
    Imagine all the people
    living for today...

    Imagine there's no countries,
    It isnt hard to do,
    Nothing to kill or die for,
    No religion too,
    Imagine all the people
    living life in peace...

    Imagine no possesions,
    I wonder if you can,
    No need for greed or hunger,
    A brotherhood of man,
    imagine all the people
    Sharing all the world...

    You may say Im a dreamer,
    but Im not the only one,
    I hope some day you'll join us,
    And the world will live as one.

    为了忘却的纪念

    John Lennon
    (1940年10月9日~1980年12月8日)
    遇刺25周年祭
     
    背景音乐改为Yesterday,以缅怀伟大的Lennon和Beatles乐队,并对自己过去的25个年头来一个四分之一拍的休止处理。

    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
    Mm......

    歌曲链接不贴了,如果这首歌你没听过的话,可能咱们交流会有问题
    PS:如果今后再说Beatles叫甲壳虫乐队,请不要说认识我!中文名就译作“披头士”,挺好!

    As Time Goes By

    You must remember this
    A kiss is still a kiss
    A sigh is just a sigh
    The fundamental things apply as time goes by

    And when two lovers woo
    They still say "I love you"
    On that you can rely
    No matter what the future brings, as time goes by

    Moonlight and love songs never out of date
    Hearts full of passion, jealousy, and hate
    Woman needs man, and man must have his mate
    That no one can deny

    It´s still the same old story
    A fight for love and glory
    A case of do or die
    The world will always welcome lovers as time goes by
