In search of my Rock Time 19 – Dire Straits Your Latest Trick Money for Nothing Brothers in Arms 往事也一樣。我們想方設法追憶，總是枉費心機，絞盡腦汁都無濟於事。它藏在腦海之外，非智力所能及；它隱蔽在某件我們意想不到的物體之中（藏匿在那件物體所給予我們的感覺之中），而那件東西我們在死亡之前能否遇到，則全憑偶然，說不定我們到死都碰不到。 (p.49-50 追憶似水年華 I 在斯萬家那邊 聯經版 1992) And so it is with our own past. It is a labour in vain to attempt to recapture it: all the efforts of our intellect must prove futile. The past is hidden somewhere outside the realm, beyond the reach of intellect, in some material object (in the sensation which that material object will give us) which we do not suspect. And as for that object, it depends on chance whether we come upon it or not before we ourselves must die. (Translated by C. K. Scott Moncrieff ) 想起 Dire Straits，似乎就是這樣全憑偶然... 1977年成立的英國搖滾樂團體，帶有一點藍調的抒情曲風，曾經攻佔英國專輯排行榜的巔峰，也曾席捲美國的音樂市場，贏得葛萊美獎。 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dire_Straits Dire Straits were a British rock band, formed by Mark Knopfler (vocals and lead guitar), his younger brother David Knopfler (rhythm guitar and vocals), John Illsley (bass guitar and vocals), and Pick Withers (drums and percussion), and managed by Ed Bicknell, active between 1977 and 1995. Although the band was formed in an era when punk rock was at the forefront, Dire Straits played a more bluesy style, albeit with a stripped-down sound that appealed to audiences weary of the overproduced stadium rock of the 1970s. … Throughout the band's career Mark Knopfler was the songwriter and driving force behind the group. The band's best-known songs include "Sultans of Swing", "Money for Nothing", "Brothers in Arms", "Walk of Life", "So Far Away", "Romeo and Juliet" and "Tunnel of Love". Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler have sold in excess of 120 million albums to date. 第一首歌（Your Latest Trick）出自於專輯《Brothers in Arms》，一開始薩克斯風的吹奏很快就吸引住我們並引領出整首歌曲的悠揚旋律。 第二首歌（Money for Nothing）是1988年的暢銷金曲，節奏明快的曲風，現在聽起來我想還是可以當作流行時尚的 High 歌。 而第三首歌（Brothers in Arms）則是一首足以撼動人心的反戰歌曲，以一種舒緩的憂傷娓娓道出戰爭的苦難與愚昧。 … Now the sun's gone to hell And the moon's riding high Let me bid you farewell Every man has to die But it's written in the starlight And every line on your palm We're fools to make war On our brothers in arms 渡過險峻海峽，準備前往記憶中下一個美麗的港口吧！ |
