How on earth did I get so jaded
Life ’s mystery seems so faded
I can go where no one else can go
I know what no one else knows
Here I am just drownin ’ in the rain
With a ticket for a runaway train
Everything is cut and dry
Day and night, earth and sky
Somehow I just don ’t believe it
CHORUS.
Bought a ticket for a runaway train
Like a madman laughin ’ at the rain
Little out of touch, little insane
Just easier than dealing with the pain
Runaway train never comin ’ back
Runaway train tearin ’ up the track
Runaway train burnin ’ in my veins
Runaway but it always seems the same

你可能钟爱很多音乐,为许多支乐队和歌者所打动,但只能有一支乐队是与你
的灵魂融为一体的,我的那支就是Soul Asylum〔灵魂庇难所〕,第一次听到他
们音乐时就忽然产生一种似曾熟识的奇妙感觉,不由自主的就随之哼唱起来,
我完全随心哼吟,却与Soul Asylum的音乐鬼使神差般的丝丝契合,路上的行人
多以异样目光视我,我视若不见,完全沉浸在一种寻到音乐知己和归宿的巨大
喜悦中。
这支成立于1983年的另类摇滚乐队,成立时乐队奠定的风格是暴躁的朋克和硬
摇滚风格,在当时美国众多的此类型地下乐队中并没有脱颖而出,乐队的几张
专辑也并没有引起怎样的轰动,由于长期排练和演出中巨大声响的侵害,主音
吉他兼主唱David Pirner〔大卫.皮尔纳〕的耳朵失聪了,然而即使如此,他也
并没有放弃对音乐的执著追求,而且因祸得福,他们开始排练一些原声的作
品,却取得了无以伦比的成功。1992年,他们推出的一张专辑《Grave
Dancers Union》〔凄惨舞者联盟〕,一张深沉而不失柔情的原声专辑刚一登榜
就引起了从乐评者到普通乐迷的巨大惊喜,专辑中的很多作品都是经典之作,
而《runaway train》〔迷失列车〕更成为世界级的摇滚经典。在乐队随后的专
辑中仍坚持了此张专辑奠定的音乐风格,乐队的歌迷和专辑销量与日俱增,外
型英俊的乐队的灵魂人物皮尔纳甚至成为了美国九十年代的另类偶像。2000
年,乐队推出了精选集《Black Gold: The Best Of Soul Asylum》,迎来了事
业的又一高峰。在众多专辑中,我最钟爱的当属《Let Your Dim Light
Shine》,或许是先入为主的缘故,因为这就是我首度接触即产生难以置信共鸣
的那张专辑。
推荐的这首《runaway train》堪称Soul Asylum的扛鼎之作,这是首描写失踪
儿童问题的作品,在清脆干净的吉他、不动声色的鼓点伴奏下,主唱皮尔纳沧
桑沙哑的嗓音从喉底或者说从心底吟出最深沉的悲愤与控诉,悲伤和愤怒的极
至通常不是血泪泣诉或狂吼一气,而是近乎平和的,淡淡的陈述,而这却更容
易渗入听者的心底。心随着略含悲意的音乐起伏,似乎看到了失去亲生儿女的
母亲那无助、失神的目光。
13. MR.BIG/《To be with you》

Hold on little girl
Show me what he's done to you
Stand up little girl
A broken heart can't be that bad
When it's through, it's through
Fate will twist the both of you
So come on baby come on over
Let me be the one to show you
I'm the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you feel it too
Waited on a line of greens and blues
Just to be the next to be with you
Build up your confidence
So you can be on top for once
Wake up who cares about
Little boys that talk too much
I seen it all go down
Your game of love was all rained out
So come on baby, come on over
Let me be the one to hold you
I'm the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you feel it too
Waited on a line of greens and blues
Just to be the next to be with you
Why be alone when we can be together baby
You can make my life worthwhile
And I can make you start to smile
(solo)
When it's through, it's through
Fate will twist the both of you
So come on baby come on over
Let me be the one to show you
I'm the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you feel it too
Waited on a line of greens and blues (责任编辑:admin)
