[洗耳恭聽] 6 低音男聯盟 Editors(Tom Smiths)/The National/Josh Turner－郭查理

腦子和耳蝸裡充滿著一堆想和大家分享的仙樂，有時甚至想是不是有幻聽(根據老師說餘音繞樑不絕於耳根本就是一種幻聽的症狀!)，本想先寫布魯斯大叔，不過看了WINWIN以後陷入The National低音地獄，轉念決定還是先來個低音男聯盟The Basser(根本沒有這種用法)好了。

先來Editors，不過這首其實是主唱大人Tom Smiths和另一位吉他手Andy Burrows合組的Smiths & Burrow

youtube best comment: Best X-mas song of 2011, sorry Coldplay, but you never had a chance
酷玩愚粉也不得不拜倒在此神曲之下，去年整個冬天被這首歌迷煞。

No sound but the wind
1. 整場重點除了Tom嚇死人的穿透力，還有超投入粉絲的專業對嘴!!!(我想我個人在惠妹的場子也常做相同的事)
2. 查了一下發現這首歌的靈感來自The Road，上個月竟然才剛看過這本書，比巧虎還巧。這本書太讓人皮皮挫了。
Help me to carry the fire
We will keep it alight together

他們最紅的似乎是這首Papillon，儘管編曲這麼電，Tom的聲音還是厚實的穿過長路而來，真的很驚人。然後這MV是為路跑代言嗎?或是黑道電影裡的追殺畫面。

換個版本聽聽，這聲音就是要簡單配樂啊!!


Smokers outside the hospital doors
We've all been changed from what we were
Our broken hearts left smashed on the floor
I can't believe you if I can't hear you
I can't believe you if I can't hear you

I'm so glad that I found this T ^ T.

The National

WIN WIN整片步子不快，起伏也還算不得劇烈，整片收尾時心裡只是有一些無法明說的感覺，但片尾這首歌一下，整部片的細節突然都被清楚放大，關於人生脆弱、可笑卻又溫暖的種種幽微之處，就隨著音樂一點一點被擷回。
We've been running a sleepless run
Been away from the baby way too long
We've been holding a good night gone
We've been losing our exits one by one

I'm out of my mind; think you can wait?
I'm way off the line; think you can wait?
這什麼詞!!!Q Q

掉入此坑的神曲，聽他舉重若輕的唱著fake empire，那聲音不尖，卻一聲劃破所有虛浮假面。

Tiptoe through our shiny city
with our diamond slippers on
do our gay ballet on ice
bluebirds on our shoulders
we're half-awake in a fake empire
we're half-awake in a fake empire
