小E匆忙,辛苦搜索下。

总会有时间

看黄色的烟沿着街滑行,

在窗玻璃上擦着它的背;

总会有时间,总会有时间

装一副面容去会见你去见的脸;

总会有时间去暗杀和创新,

总会有时间让举起问题又丢进你盘里的

双手完成劳作与度过时日。

——普鲁弗洛克的情歌·艾略特 (查良铮译)

Sketch of your faces I still don't know you aren't permanent, permanent

You want all of our moments stolen

Blind alleys and hallways to basements

How you gonna' hide 'till you disappear?

Because nothing and nowhere is golden

Apartments are cages, I still don't know what is permanent, permanent

Maybe all my possessions were precious

Truth is all my possessions I somehow lost them

Been traveling so light when we're floating by

Seems nothing and nowhere is golden

Some say we're lost in space

Some say we're falling off the page

Some say our life is insane

But it isn't insane on paper

Playgrounds are graveyards, and all of our scars are permanent, permanent

There's no replacement for places

I'll always love you, you're mine

Numb is the new high, old memories die out, 'till

Nothing and nowhere is golden

Some say we always only want to get off

Some say our hands are much too soft

Some say our life is insane

But it isn't insane on paper

Some say our hair is in our eyes

Some say we're out of our little minds

Some say our life is insane

But it isn't insane on paper to have to ask

多添点:

今天分享一首Emily Haines 和 The Soft Skeleton的《Nothing&Nowhere》。

这首歌来自她2006年9月26日的专辑《Knives Don't Have Your Back On Last Gang Records》。她花了四年在洛杉矶、蒙特利尔、多伦多和纽约创作和录制了这张专辑,Sparklehorse的Scott Minor、Broken Social Scene的Justin Peroff、Stars的Evan Cranley和Metric的Jimmy Shaw都为这张专辑出了力。尽管Haines花了四年时间才完成这张专辑,但这位歌手说她其实策划了更多年。她说,“当我还是个孩子时,我会爬到楼下的钢琴前,为我想象中的地方写歌。我写的第一首歌是首给蔓越莓树的情歌。我总是用静音踏板,因为我讨厌别人听到我的声音。”

她还说:“在我与Metric乐队合作期间,无论我住在哪里,我都在钢琴上写歌,而且不为任何人演奏。在一个朋友的建议下,我决定最好在它们被遗忘之前开始录下来。”

Emily Haines是一个键盘手兼全能唱作人,多伦多独立摇滚舞曲乐队“Metric”的主唱,另外也是“Broken Social Scene” 乐队的成员。在发行前两张专辑之后,Haines已经积累了大量她认为过于非标准的歌曲,不适合乐队录制;在一小群合作者的帮助下,包括Sparklehorse(闪马)乐队的 Scott Minor,Broken Social Scene(破碎社会场景)乐队的Broken Social Scene,Stars(明星)乐队的Evan Cranley和Metric乐队的James Shaw,Haines录下了她一整张专辑的歌曲。她改名为Emily Haines u0026 the Soft Skeleton。她总是用“The Soft Skeleton”这个名字发表自己的作品。她的个人音乐大多数以钢琴为主要音轨,弦乐和圆号为辅,以此构建自己的独特个人特色。
