逝世亡不是停止 Death is not the end
专辑: <Murder Ballads> - 1996
Nick cave素有音乐界颓丧诗人之称,还有"黑暗王子","哥特王子","苦楚批发商"也是他的代名词.在他的音乐里处处披发着一种无以名状的另界魔性和孤傲的诗人情怀.早期,他是澳洲后朋克乐队The Birthday Party的一员,那时候面相阴郁的他已奠定了在队中晦暗的哥特式唱腔.但这是一支鲜为人知的乐队,人们真正熟知他是在Bad Seeds时代,这是储藏着众多才华横溢的一世之雄的乐队.
Death is not the end原是Bob Dylan的歌曲开导自残边沿的人们,是《Murder Ballads》最后一首.听的时候想起了sophie zelmani的那首男女歌手的搭配演绎,感到相似,都相称完善.
Nick Cave从这时起开始阔别Post Punk的气氛,而多了些美国城市的滋味,最显明便是钢琴,吉它,鼓,
超级变态私服,风琴,小提琴和人声的应用,制造一种教堂式的繁重感,也制作出雪窖冰天里一团团火焰.但音乐中那种疼痛与惊慌,不安及黯然却是贯串始终的,每每都像一把冰凉锐利的匕首插入你的心扉.实在,他的阴郁不象其余很对艺人是起源从小的家庭阴影,相反,他有一个美妙的家庭,可他却从小自强不息,抽食大麻,假扮女人,着异服烂醉街头,甚至不要命地用针头自虐.这种罪恶的生活塑造了他心坎深处的灰暗面.而当初,
1.85炎龙元素,年过四十的他,好像摇身一变成为一个逐日诵读圣经的清教徒,生涯中的所有变得淡泊从容,洗去了从前的暴戾之气.昔日那个哥特之王好像日渐行远,而一个穷凶极恶,易感伤情怀的播爱者却缓缓走来,口中还吟诵着旧约的诗篇......
歌词:
When you're sad and when you're lonely<>And you haven't got a friend<>Just remember that death is not the end <>And all that you held sacred<>Falls down and does not mend<>Just remember that death is not the end<>Not the end, not the end<>Just remember that death is not the end <>When you're standing on the crossroads<>That you cannot comprehend<>Just remember that death is not the end <>And all your dreams have vanished<>And you don't know what's up the bend<>Just remember that death is not the end<>Not the end, not the end<>Just remember that death is not the end <>When the storm clouds gather round you<>And heavy rains descend<>Just remember that death is not the end <>And there's no-one there to comfort you<>With a helping hand to lend<>Just remember that death is not the end<>Not the end, not the end<>Just remember that death is not the end <>For the tree of life is growing<>Where the spirit never dies<>And the ight light of salvation<>Up in dark and empty skies<>When the cities are on fire<>With the burning flesh of men<>Just remember that death is not the end <>When you search in vain to find<>Some law-abiding citizen<>Just remember that death is not the end <>Not the end, not the end<>Just remember that death is not the end<>Not the end, not the end<>Just remember that death is not the end

据说这首歌是Nick跟Pj&Anita合唱的,这样三个才干横溢爱恨交错的人如何能平心静气地坐在一起谆谆告诫地唱什么:Death is not the end?
凶恶肆虐的Nick在和Anita分分合合二十年后终于劳燕分飞,留下臂上「Anita」的刺青和脸上的伤疤,
如果有一天,或者每个曾经真正恋情过的人老是会留下些什么,身材或记忆的印记之后,Nick皈依基督,唱出了如Hallelujah、God is in the house这样编曲史诗般恢弘的宗教情结歌曲.许多人,除了被浮世的五彩斑斓晃花了眼睛的老庶民,包含良多毕生研讨学识的文明精英,到最后都会抉择皈依.如托尔斯泰、罗素、林语堂、木心、李叔等同,唯粱漱冥是异类,由佛教转而成为儒者,而他对孔孟的奇特的诠释也是独占佛教异色的:硬生生把一个教条条的孔子老先生说得安和自由,妙不可言. 诚然,在迷信和哲学还不昌明到可以解决人类所有悖论,最终辅助人们克服并走出精神救赎的窘境之前,宗教的皈依无疑可以缓冲甚至抢救被逼上死路的惨淡的良心...
我简直不去听Nick那些被称作黑暗王子时期的歌特作品,尤其是在情感低落的时候,假如然哀伤那就单独沉下去而不是靠物理推进器和化学催化剂.
Death is not the end
在开往吐鲁番的隆隆火车声中,
那人又回来和我握手,
我说:"你要挺住",
抬眼四周却只有本人.
听Nick Cave的大抵有两种人,一局部是哥特和后朋克的忠诚拥趸,他们在Nick Cave早期乐团The Birthday Party同名专辑阴郁狂躁的哥特美学中不可自拔,或者陷溺于Nick Cave后期乐团The Bad Seeds的诗意精力决裂症中,从《From Her to Eternity》到《Tender Prey》,再到《Henry's Dream》,Nick Cave在颓废病态的美感休会中探讨对于宗教,
超变传奇私服,人道罪行的话题,其间乐队还曾参加德国导演文德斯的片子名作《柏林天穹下》,饰演一个十分Nick Cave化的阴郁后朋克摇滚歌手,正好这部电影探讨的也是愿望与救命的话题.以此咱们能够清算出Nick Cave早期的哥特音乐脉络.另一类爱好Nick Cave的人则是从94年专辑《Let Love In》之后开端接触他的音乐,尔后的Nick Cave逐步从暴戾的阴影中走了出来,大批猖狂的吉他噪音和迅猛鼓击被柔和的钢琴抒怀曲取代,伤感的弦乐也不离左右,《Let Love In》也许明示着这么一个循环,心灵的创痛兴许终极要用内在的力气的平复,爱从此成为Nick Cave音乐的一个主题,《Murder Ballads》,《The Boatman's Call》,《No More Shall We Part》,一张比一张安静,一次比一次伤感,在死亡,犯法和爱的独特暗影下我们仿佛也看见了Nick Cave逐渐成熟也同时朽迈的朝气.
沉得越深,重起时更加爱护光亮,
无论是对性命的敬佩,抑或是对爱情的庇护……
