在那里人们生老病死,一切自然;
在那里做出来的事覆水难收。

歌词
Blow the electric candle out
Let yourself slip away a while
Into the phosphorescent blue
That's swimming through the tubes in you
'Cuz you are made of water
Slowly synchronising with the moon
That rises from the sea in front you
Like a blood red balloon
Like a blood red balloon
Wandering naked though the street
Forewarning everyone you meet
You hold their fortune in your hand
See heaven in a grain of sand
Converse with the Spiritual Sun
On Primrose Hill, NW1
Emerging ghostly from the morning dew
Like a blood red balloon
Like a blood red balloon
Like a blood red balloon
Like a blood red balloon
Don't close your eyes
You can't fight it
Don't close your eyes
You can't hide from it
Open your eyes
You can't fight it
Don't close your eyes
You can't fight it
Don't close your eyes
You can't fight it
Don't close your eyes
You can't hide from it
Open your eyes
You can't fight it
Don't close your eyes
I look into your staring eyes
And understand our future lies
With the destined demise of man
A mushroom cloud following an
Explosion filmed in surround sound
Sending deep tremors through the ground
Obscuring the innocent sky from view
Like a blood red balloon
Like a blood red balloon
Like a blood red balloon
Like a blood red balloon
Like a blood
(Don't close your eyes)

多添一点:
今天分享一首 Mystery Jets(神秘喷气飞机乐队)的 《Blood Red Balloon》。
今天来首比较前卫的作品。如果单看专辑封面,小E以为自己在听Pink Floyd 。事实也是如此,这张专辑也算是乐队致敬内心的偶像吧。这首歌来自他们2016年的专辑《Curve Of The Earth》。回顾这个乐队早期的专辑《Making Dens》,你会发现这个乐队的音乐风格有了明显的变化,由后朋变的越来越迷幻前卫,他们似乎在像所有人宣告自己的成长。他们在伦敦Stoke Newington的一个他们自己改装的纽扣工厂,完成了这张专辑的录制。这张专辑他们加入了新的贝斯手Jack Flanagan。
这首歌是比较意象化的一首,用不同的音乐感觉冲击你的感官。而主题也是太空主题。他们将英国独立摇滚、迷幻且复古的元素结合起来。让听众想象着自己乘着未来的宇宙飞船在地球上空翱翔的情景。像是从陆地,然后慢慢升空,穿破大气层,进入宇宙,最后漂泊消失在宇宙中。仔细听这首歌,你会发现很多Pink Floyd的影子,有些riff段落很接近《Wish you Were Here》这首的感觉。看看乐队资料:
Mystery Jets是一支英国独立摇滚乐队,前身在伦敦特威克纳姆的鳗鱼派岛活动。鳗鱼派岛上的酒店,会有各种音乐人的演出,乐队成员在岛上生活,Pink Floyd也在那演出过。乐队由Blaine Harrison(主唱、吉他和键盘)、Jack Flanagan(贝斯和主唱)、Kapil Trivedi(鼓)和 Henry Harrison(作词)组成。他们的原名是 The Misery Jets,本意是想说在鳗鱼岛上经常可以看到飞机,但由于第一任鼓手在鼓皮上画名字时不小心拼错了名字,被改为 Mystery Jets。他们在岛上烧毁的嬉皮公社上建立了自己的基地开始排练。并在岛上举办了名为“白十字复兴”的派对,引起了很多人的关注。
