Oh Oh Oh, Oh,我聽Razorlight

聽音樂是主觀的,我明白這道理,所以才能理解為何隔了個廁所的鄰居每天日以繼夜不停聽容祖兒的「甘曲」,樂於唱個不停;才能理解為何全香港有那麼多類似我這位鄰居的人那麼喜歡容祖兒的「甘曲」。

由奧斯陸回港後,對電台的興趣完全降至零,森美小儀森美移動甚麼甚麼一早已經聽得想反肚,他們苦心營造及設計的幼稚形象一點也不好笑才是問題所在,連帶我獨愛的I Love You Boyz也沒有興趣再聽。轉而,一時聽聽bbc,一時聽聽挪威的電台。

當然,都是聽挪威電台多,一來可以擺脫廣東歌曲如容祖兒等歌姬的侵擾,二來對挪威文的理解還是空白,聽不明,所以聽得很舒服。在電台中,最近熱播的音樂離不開本土的Lorraine、The Royalties,英美的,便有The Feeling、The Killer、Muse還有Razorlight。

我要說的便是來自英國卻有一名瑞典成員的Razorlight。

記起在丹麥時Razorlight【Razorlight】一碟的宣傳佈滿大街小巷,那時還只知道他們紅;回到港略聽在鄰家L的專輯時,也發現只是一般水準。然而,經過在電台中反覆洗禮,《America》的簡單、朗朗上口卻打動了我,

Oh Oh Oh, Oh,聽得人心情痕癢,想跳起來的喜悅。歌曲結他的音色是很捕捉到我心的,加上那些C G D Am簡單的Chord也讓你明白這首歌是簡單直接不花巧的,就是流暢,就是爽快。

然而,經這首作品再聽整張【Razorlight】便又是不太是味兒,尤其是首支單曲《In The Morning》的post-punk不是明抄Franz Ferdinand嗎?其他的,不是像極The Libertines嗎?不過,【Razorlight】的音樂都趨結構簡單直接,最討我喜歡是那些樂器的音質。所以我明白為何Q及NME會給五分滿分及八分,因為結他的編排明智而準確,成為英國傳媒的新寵兒;所以我又明白為何Pitchfork會只給2.7的分數,因為獨突的太少,當然,2.7分未免太誇張,文章中批評的東西有些未免欠說服力。不過單看【Razorlight】及網頁設計便可見端倪,可以說簡單美又或是平白乏味的黑白設計,只在乎你的觀點。

我少理這些評分,《America》的簡潔舖排及乾脆Pop,是實在的。

America by Razorlight

What a drag it is
The shape i’m in
Well I go out somewhere
Then I come home again

I light a cigarette
‘Cause I can’t get no sleep
Theres nothing on the TV nothing on the radio
That means that much to me

All my life
Watching America
All my life
There’s panic in America
Oh Oh Oh, Oh
There’s trouble in America
Oh Oh Oh, Oh

Yesterday was easy
Happiness came and went
I got the movie script
But I don’t know what it meant

I light a cigarette
‘Cause I can’t get no sleep
Theres nothing on the TV nothing on the radio
That means that much to me
Theres nothing on the TV nothing on the radio
That I can believe in

All my life
Watching America
All my life
There’s panic in America
Oh Oh Oh, Oh
There’s trouble in America
Oh Oh Oh, Oh
There’s panic in America
Oh Oh Oh, Oh

Yesterday was easy
Yes I got the news
When you get it straight, but stand up you just can’t lose
Give you my confidence, all my faith in life

Dont stand me up
Don’t let me down
I need you tonight
To hold me, say you’ll be here
To hold me, say you’ll be here
To hold me, say you’ll be here
To hold..

All my life
Watching America
All my life
There’s panic in America
Oh Oh Oh, Oh
is’s disgusting in America
Oh Oh Oh, Oh

So how does it feel
So how does it feel
So how does it feel
So how does it feel
