    Close your eyes and roll a dice
    Under the board there's a compromise
    If after all we only live twice
    Which life is the runroad to paradise

    Don't say a word
    Here comes the break of the day
    In while clouds of sand raised by the wind of the end of May

    Close your eyes and make a bet
    Faced to the glare of the sunset
    This is about as far as we get
    You haven't seen me disguised yet

    Don't say a word
    Here comes the break of the day
    In while clouds of sand raised by the wind of the end of May

    Close your eyes and make a wish
    Under the stone there's a stone-fish
    Hold your breath, then roll the dice
    It might be the runroad to paradise

    Don't say a word
    Here comes the break of the day
    In while clouds of sand raised by the wind of the end
    Don't say a word
    Here comes the break of the day
    In while clouds of sand raised by the wind of the end of May

     

    前两天听到这首歌,也是一个blog的背景音乐,当时觉得好听,就连着听了好几个小时,一边聊天一边听,直到一瞬间突然想自杀==

     

    实在值得汗一下,虽然直到现在仍然觉得这是一支很好听的歌,但当时就是感觉强烈到恨不得马上打开窗户跳下去,可是当把耳机从头上抓下来,那种感觉突然就没了,==诡异阿。

     

    第二天把这首歌推荐给很多人听,大多数说好听,只有办公桌对面的姐姐说没听过这么难听的歌,我说太阴沉,她同意,我说Keren Ann给人的感觉也是鬼气森森的,她也同意,看来姐姐说不好听大概因为讨厌这种压抑的感觉吧。

     

    不过还是值得纪念的,难得找到一首效果堪比《黑色星期天》的歌,虽然对那首歌我反而没什么特别感受。况且我喜欢这种类型的歌,仿佛湿气浓重的黑夜,由不得你不冷静。至于网上搜到的溢美之词:“具有Suzanne Vega的北美纽约民谣甜美,Beth Orten的伤感及Beth Gibbons的鬼魅”……我感受最深的就是最后一句了。

     

    最后,附上这首歌的相关资料(转自verycd下载页面):

     

    专辑介绍
    法国VICTORIES DE LA MUSIQUE音乐奖“最佳新进女歌手”提名。
    乐坛最受瞩目的咏絮才女个人首张英文专辑。
    法国乐坛最受欢迎创意才子BENJAMIN BIOLAY跨刀制作。

    关于Keren Ann (转自TOM音乐)
    Keren Ann对于法国流行乐的钟情也源于她的经历以及合作的音乐人。1974年,她出生于以色列,从小学吉他时就开始扒Joni Mitchell的曲子,11岁举家迁往巴黎后竟然得到了Joni Mitchell的赏识而结识了著名制作人Benjamin Biolay,后者的古典音乐背景为她的作品带来更丰富的编配层次。2000年Keren Ann的首张专辑《La Biographie De Luka Philipsen》融入了俄国文学、犹太民谣和法国诗歌,并以Trip-Hop、民谣及法国流行乐的融合形式现身,一举在欧洲赢得巨大成功。一曲《Jardin d'Hiver》更是惊动了80高龄的法国Bossa Nova鼻祖Henri Salvador,后者在自己的经典复出专辑《Chambre Avec Vue》中收录了包括《Jardin d'Hiver》在内的五首由Benjamin Biolay和Keren Ann创作的曲子。

    从第二张专辑《La Disparition》开始,Keren Ann在民谣中加入了更多爵士和布鲁斯的元素,据说是因为听了不少Chet Baker和Tom Waits的东西。这一特点在这张《Not Going Anywhere》也有体现,只不过Keren Ann布鲁斯民谣更低调,略带颓废的清淡语调一直贯穿于小夜曲一般的主题曲中,贯穿于《End Of May》梦幻般的和声中,也贯穿于唯一一首节奏强烈的《Sailor And Widow》之中。甚至连像圣诞童谣一样的《Right Now And Right Here》、唯美极致的香颂《By The Cathedral》和带有一丝拉丁吉他色彩的《Spanish Song Bird》,也无一不笼罩在一层感伤的淡淡雾气中。而早先的Trip-Hop节拍表象已然隐匿,转化成为Beth Gibbons似的内在阴郁。

    有人说Keren Ann的东西适合作为全世界任何一家咖啡馆的背景音乐,显然这也很合理,但窃以为如此华美却又极简矜持的作品更适合于私人聆听。它让生活可以变得轻巧和美丽,“我尽量不记起,胜过再去忘记”;也可以暂别执迷和浮躁,面对潮起潮落人来人往却“Not Going Any Where”。生活不在此处的庸俗和别处的虚妄,那么生活在内心,感觉就像当年听见Sparklehorse唱着“我想作一匹马,充满永不蔓延的火焰。”
