Three Imaginary Boys是The Cure 1979年发行的第一张专辑。The Cure这几十年来的变化不小,之前听的最多的是DisintegrationBloodflowers——崩溃三部曲的第二和第三张,感觉是那种比较黑暗的迷幻,像是在漆黑夜晚的孤岛中,四周海水不断涌来,要把人吞噬的氛围。这张Three Imaginary Boys中那黑迷幻味没那么重,也较少有各种合成器的音色,是很典型很硬朗的后朋歌曲,有那么一点像Bauhaus,只是Robert Smith嗓音还没那么苍白痉挛。从Three Imaginary Boys到崩溃三部曲,仿佛黑暗,美丽的糜烂才是Cure应有的特点,而相比”Friday I’m in Love”这种歌唱清新的爱情和阳光的The Cure倒像是要开始误入歧途了。

Bloodflower被称为The Cure“崩溃三部曲”中的最后一部,从音乐上来看,还是给人那种压抑迷幻、即将崩溃的感觉。特别是这首Watching Me Fall,听着它就像是从高空堕入黑暗汹涌的海中,在里面几经沉浮,可能有付出水面的片刻,但最终还是被激流淹没。特别是Robert Smith的声音,听上去感觉是要死了一样。

yeah i’ve been seeing them strip to the bone in the mirror on the wall
seeing her swallow him whole like it’s not me at all
she holds out her hands and i follow her down to my knees
and the sucking inside insatiable smiles
“you will forget yourself in me…”
