歌词
It’s hard to judge, I get used to it
A living, sole survivor
Thought I’d be more sensitive
A living, sole survivor
Had to find a job
Had to find a job
Those could be my clothes
What you have always been
You were an outlaw suddenly
Once I find a job
Once I find a job
Thought I’d found a seat to preach
Moving, less surviving
Product in a media court
Moving, less surviving
Had to find a job
Once I find a job
I should arrive there
Where you have always been
You were an outlaw suddenly
Once I find a job
Once I find a job
Had to find a job
Once I find a job
Those could be my clothes
What you have always been
You were an outlaw suddenly
Once you find a job
You never earn enough
And you’re speaking your heart
You saw the laddie
Call a memory
Don’t accept them for beauty
You didn’t matter
He’s just a laddie
Call a memory
Don’t accept them for beauty
You shook so hard
You saw the laddie
Call a memory
Don’t accept them for beauty
You, who to call
You saw the laddie
Part of him was living proof
A living, sole survivor
Thought I’d be more sensitive
A living, sole survivor
Such a great fuss
Living for
Living for
A something
A job

今天分享一首 Cocteau Twins 的 《Serpent Skirt》。
Cocteau Twins是一支富有创新力和影响力的苏格兰梦幻流行乐队。他们于1979年在英国苏格兰格兰杰茅斯成立（此名字取自苏格兰人Simple Minds的一首不知名的歌曲），以朦胧的氛围和歌手Elizabeth Fraser（十年来最具影响力的声乐家之一），无与伦比的声线为基础构建自己的风格特色。他们的大部分歌词都是自己编的，或是从字典中随机挑出的词。唱什么不重要，要的是气氛。1982年他们发行首张专辑，受到好评。之后他们的作品也有不少进入排行榜，但一直没有太靠前。1985年他们的专辑《Victorialand》在没有鼓手的情况下，反而大卖了。最后进入了英国榜单的前十，这是他们最成功的专辑。1988年发行《Blue Bell Knoll》专辑被一些评论家认为是“上帝之声”。
他们的歌曲风格总是很相似。首先是伊丽莎白·弗雷泽（Elizabeth Fraser）飘渺的声音，类似耳语。然后将歌声沉浸在具象的乐谱中，唤起超现实、梦幻般的魔幻气氛：清澈的和弦，柔和的旋律，单调的节奏，交响乐键盘。音乐并没有遵循线性的路径，而只是编织出绚丽的声音。新颖性恰好在于它是水平的，而不是垂直的：相对于经典摇滚乐的叙事结构，它是静态的，几乎是种沉思。
