又是百年回籠更新網誌,久到我聽音樂的品味都變了。
但挑歌翻譯的任性沒變,非得要遇到那一口連前奏都能醉心的歌,才會靜心品味。
2015年左右開始聽電子音樂,Minimal techono風格、以及不知何類型各種讓人腦空的電子,
所以今天當Mothers的前奏一下時,感覺把我帶回熱愛獨立搖滾的青春歲月。
主唱兼吉他手,Kristine Leschper,2013年成立樂團時的年紀,大概也跟我迷戀獨立搖滾時的年紀差不多。
Mothers原本只是Leschper在美國喬治亞州Athens求學期間的一個單人project,
後來她將Mothers拓展為四人編制的樂團,鼓手Matthew Anderegg原來也是Mothers的粉絲。
2016年發行了第一張專輯 When You Walk A Long Distance You Are Tired。
Leschper起初讓我聯想起Angel Olsen,但是感覺上Mothers就是一個較年輕的樂團,
青春自溺,有著甜美卻迷惘的哀愁,也足以殺死一個人的哀愁。
It Hurts Until It Doesn't
I felt alive for a little while
But when I died
I had the time to notice
I was crushed by the weight of my own ego
But never honest enough to say it
活著的感覺不過只有瞬間而已
但在我死掉之前
才察覺到
我是被沉重的自我壓垮的
只是我從來不想承認
I felt your love for a little while
But never had the guts
To give myself up
I said that I could be just what you wanted
As if I could ever keep a promise
As if I could ever keep a promise
有那麼瞬間我感受到你的愛
但我從來不敢
跟我自己妥協
我可以為你變成你想要的樣子
講得好像我真的做得到
講得好像我真的做得到
You have eyes in every room
But you won't see me, you won't see me
You won't see me walk away
Once I was
More than just a song to play
On your haunted tape
I don't want to be away
你能洞悉一切
但你看不見、你不會看見
我的離去
我曾經不只是
你幽鬱卡帶裡的一首歌而已
我不想離去
Could have sworn
I heard you laughing in the doorway
I don't like myself when I'm awake
我敢保證
我聽到你在門口笑我
我討厭醒著時的我
I don't like myself
When I'm awake
我討厭醒著時的我
