Christian Brothers

在Elliott Smith的第二张同名专辑”Elliott Smith”中(专辑的封面让人感觉很不安),电声乐器和鼓依然只是点缀。第二首Christian Brothers是专辑中为数不多的在四个小节之后就就出现了鼓声的歌曲,也是在这张专辑中最吸引我的歌曲。除了录音质量外,Christian Brothers找不出其他任何的缺点,Elliot Smith柔弱的声音和木吉他营造出的恢宏大气的渐进式的和弦进程混合在一起,使我感觉像是来到了爱伦坡小说中即将倒塌的厄歇尔府,正如歌词中唱到的”Nightmares become me, it’s so fucking clear.”

搜索Christian Brothers,在不同的国家地区有不同的含义:学校、宗教组织,Elliot Smith歌中的Christian Brothers更有可能是一种廉价白兰地的牌子,而无论Christian Brothers中唱的是他对酒精的信任依赖还是引申到他那糟糕的青春期,似乎和远在半个地球外的听者关系不大。能由一首歌产生点感性的感觉,似乎能进入某种意境,也就够了。用句自以为是音乐圈的人会说的一句恶心装逼的话说:音乐是无国界的。

Christian Brothers

No bad dream fucker’s going to boss me around
Christian Brothers going to take him down
But it can’t help me get over

Don’t be cross, it’s sick what I want
I’ve seen the boss blink on and off

Fake concerns is what’s the matter, man
And you think I ought to shake your motherfucking hand
Well, I know how much you care

Don’t be cross, it’s sick what I want
I’ve seen the boss blink on and off

Come here by me, I want you here
Nightmares become me, it’s so fucking clear
Nightmares become me, it’s so fucking clear
