颱風天,你是否與我相同的感受著類似程度的無聊 ?
早上碰巧轉到了Coldplay 的電視特輯,這次的新專輯新歌開始表演,場地不大,是個BBC大樓前的小場地,但場外早已爆滿人潮, 隔著欄杆,觀望台上的表演者,舞動生命,上空的直昇機,還拍攝到四周大樓的人群,衝出陽台,觀賞表演 就連工人們也暫時停下工作,Coldplay的震撼,由此可見。
酷玩的音樂一直給我這樣的感覺,很美、很平靜的音樂,即使在這個吵雜的塵囂中,還是可以聽到一點寧靜的聲響,他們只有四個人: 一個吉他手(Jonny Buckland)、一個貝斯手(Guy Berryman)、一個鼓手(Will Champion) 和一個主唱,會不會太少? 不會不會,因為他們四人可以當七八人來使用XD,Chris Martin身兼主唱 鍵盤手,表演時也彈了吉他,吉他手在"Viva La Vida" 裡也幫忙彈了一下鍵盤,鼓手則打了兩首定音鼓,不時需唱合聲,貝斯手也忙中唱了一下合聲,即使忙到不行,還是要用音樂征服這個世界,This is how I ruled the world... ...
最後他們還是用新專輯的"Lovers in Japan"做ending,突然機器噴出蝴蝶花樣的紙片,漫天飛舞。雖然風格一直持續轉變的他們,帶來的感動依舊不減當年,永遠都會寫著這樣美麗的音樂,簡單的和絃、無限的可能... ...
好羨慕居住英國的人們 ,能如電視上那樣,親眼親身體驗他們帶來的澎湃情感,如果有一天,他們能來台灣,如果有那麼一天,會有多好?
以下分享一首歌Viva La Vida,歌詞還是那慣有的哲學意味,這就是酷玩,就是人生!
Viva La Vida
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sweep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing:
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt, and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman calvary choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you know there was never, never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world
It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman calvary choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter will call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
(Ohhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
Hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman calvary choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter will call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
