Y!Song(3)—-”Perfect Day”

会介绍这首歌是因为看了这部经典的cult片《猜火车》，电影本身有多棒我就不多说了，原声带也是堆满重量级作品，最印象深刻的是片中主角Renton处于死亡边缘时候响起的这首Lou Reed的”Perfect Day”，结合那画面我真是被震住了，一种说不出的感觉。这首陈奕迅和杨乃文有一起翻唱，所以没听过原唱的人听了也会觉得耳熟。

直接放上这个片段吧。

just a perfect day
drink sangria in the park
and then later, when it gets dark, we’ll go home
just a perfect day
feed animals in the zoo
then later a movie too, and then home

oh it’s such a perfect day
i’m glad i spent it with you
oh such a perfect day
you just keep me hanging on

just a perfect day
problems all left alone
weekenders on our own
it’s such fun

just a perfect day
you make me forget myself
i thought i was someone else
someone good

you’re going to reap just what you sow

——————————————————–

这部电影最后那段独白真是超经典的：

Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television. Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc and electrical tin openers… Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit crushing game shows, stuffing junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing you last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life…But why would I want to do a thing like that?

————————————-

Just choose your fu*king life…….

Y!Song(2)—-“These are the days”

果然我没法做到真正的”每日一歌“，呵呵，太忙太懒太没效率了。

这次要介绍的这首是我前几天在豆瓣电台听到的，英国的新派爵士青年Jamie Cullum的”These are the days“，收录在他04年发行的第二张专辑—–让他一炮而红的《Twentysomething》里。

他翻唱了很多经典的爵士名曲，比如Billie Holiday的“What a Difference a Day Made”,经典歌舞电影《雨中曲》主题曲”Singing in the rain”，我喜欢这两首要甚过于今天介绍的这首”These are the days”，因为他翻唱得太好听了！现在的年轻歌手玩爵士的也不少，但是玩出花样玩出个性的不多，Jamie Cullum是那种会让没听过爵士的年轻人立马爱上爵士的歌手，他的歌声可以很沧桑很深情，却也可以很high很狂野，一首歌里面会有很多情绪起伏，编曲很大胆，比如”Singing in the rain”跟原版真的是完全不一样的感觉，节奏感鲜明，除了jazz外有点rock又有点soul。

“These are the days”属于jazz偏pop一点，是他哥哥Ben为他而写的，琅琅上口，适合在KTV里面唱（很显然KTV里是没这歌的）。

These are the days that I’ve been missing
Give me the taste give me the joy of summer wine
These are the days that bring new meaning
I feel the stillness of the sun and I feel fine
Sometimes when the nights are closing early
I remember you and I start to smile
Even though now you don’t want to know me
I get on by, and I go the extra mile

These are the times of love and meaning
Ice of the heart has melted away and found the light
These are the days of endless dreaming
Troubles of life are floating away like a bird in flight

These are the days
These are the days
These are the days

I’ve thought you said that love would last forever
Leave and that the tears would end for good
I told you that we get through any weather
Maybe that didn’t work out
But we did the best we could

These are the days that I’ve been missing
Give me the taste give me the joy of summer wine
These are the days that bring new meaning
I feel the stillness of the sun and I feel fine

PS. 前年看过的一部感人的家庭题材电影《Grace is gone》的同名主题曲也是他唱的，当时一直听却没注意到他。

“Grace is gone”…….

Y!Song(1)一—–Through the backyards

不知道该用什么标题，就临时加了一个目录曰“每日一歌”，然后以后就可以每次加一个之X在后面做为标题了。因为感觉现在每天接触的好音乐实在是太多了，想要分享但却毫无头绪，每日一歌的话刚刚好，但是这并不代表以后我会每天写一篇日志贴一首歌，这只是一个目录名而已。好像很矛盾，但是情况就是如此。

今天要推荐的这首是来自美国纽约的三人女子团体Au Revoir Simone的”Through the backyards”，收录在她们于05年发行的首张专辑《Verses Of Comfort Assurance & Salvation》里。这个三人女子团体去年11月份有来中国的北京和上海演出，赢得不错的口碑，而在国际乐坛她们其实已经是蛮有名的了，连大导演David Lynch都为她们着迷。她们的风格算是比较舒服轻松的电子音乐，大部分的歌都是满悦耳清新的调调，当然也有一些比较稍微重口味。

前两个月我也有在听她们的《The Bird Of Music》和《Still Night Still Light》这两张专辑，不过今天要推荐的这首”Through the backyards”之前则没听过，而是在今晚看的一部独立电影《忧郁的解药》里面听到这个插曲，马上被吸引住了，电影看完后查了下片尾字幕才知道是Au Revoir Simone的歌。但是这张第一张专辑在网上不好找，驴子上没种子，倒是在youtube上有一段歌迷制作的关于这首歌的review视频，非常有趣。

Baby tell me please
Is this a dream
Spending the night with you
Beneath the cherry trees
Just make a wish and everything comes true

Out the windows of my bedroom
Through the backyards of our neighbors
But I didn’t leave you waiting
There was endless concentration

Then the moon swept down to greet us
It was warm and made of flowers
Into vines that barely reached us
Climbing higher than forever

Baby help me please
In knowing this
‘Cause showing never tells
Was it just a breeze
Was it a kiss
Breathless exquisite chills
