大一时候百无聊赖,堕落街的博爱音像是我经常光顾的地方。那时候我年幼无知,只觉得这个20平米见方,装修简陋至极的破门面房简直就是音乐的天堂。从开出租的中年啤酒肚叔叔到单纯爱赶时髦的少女,再到走路风风火火穿着紧腿裤子的伪英伦小伙子,似乎都能在这里找到喜欢的碟。博爱的前台上像无数音像店一样摆着3个硕大的纸箱子,里面装满了10块钱3个的盗版碟。里面多是些谢霆锋S.H.E之类的大街货,但是,我就是在这里找到hanson的这张underneath。
说实话一直琢磨不明白这个underneath究竟怎么翻译。刚才百度了半天,发现有人将之译为“爱的谷底”。脑子里一转,确实是这个味道啊。
这个3.33333元无疑是有史以来花的最最值当一次,因为这张专辑实在是相当和我的口味。放进CD机,节奏感极强的刷琴立刻让人兴奋起来。虽然04年出这张专辑的时候三兄弟已经年龄不小,早就过了青春期,但是他们的声音却还保留了刚刚变声的小男孩涩涩的味道,每一首歌都像是在吼,但非金属的声嘶力竭,而是饱含的青春的激昂。记得去年上新东方的时候,楼梯边有一个海报,背景是简单的大海,上面写了几个大字“新东方,梦想开始的地方”。每次看见,我就觉得升起了无限的激情,幻想自己的英语水平成了中国第一。听hanson的时候就是这样的感觉,觉得自己的一切是如此美好,一副色温很高的中午时的照片的感觉(呵呵,想象的出来吗)。
三兄弟不遗余力的尽情表达这他们对爱的狂热的理解,像是thinking of you,旋律确相当的好听,一遍又一遍的thinking of you the whole time,不繁复,反而觉得很亲切。
Strong enough to break,虽然也是一般的摇滚小青年愤世嫉俗的主题,但因为他们独特的声线而变得特别的有味道。
Penny and me是我最喜欢一首,因为一直觉得penny就是我自己。Cigars in the summertime,飞机的舷窗外硕大无比的月亮盘踞在世界的正中央,好像只要张开双手闭上眼睛所有的一切都是我的。又或是坐在pink moon light下,有伤心的lemonade醉意朦胧的篝火,不仅有starry night还有你,it’s always you&me tonight。
Cigars in the summertime under the sky by the light,
I can feel you read my mind,
I can see it in your eyes,
Under the moon as it plays,
Like music every line,
There's a rug with bleeding dye under the fan in the room,
Where the passion's burning high,
By the chair with the leopard skin under the light,
It's always Penny and me tonight
On the plane step up with both my feet,
Riding in seat number 3 on a flight to NYC,
Got my bean in a coffee cup next to my seat,
Catch the view and another good book to read,
Sending me home on the friendly skies,
Missin' her eyes,
It's always Penny and me tonight,
Cause Penny and me like to roll the windows down,
Turn the radio up, and push the pedal to the ground,
And Penny and me like to gaze at starry skies,
Close our eyes, pretend to fly,
It's always Penny and me tonight,
Staring at a million city lights,
But it's still Penny and I all alone beneath the sky,
Feel the wind brushing slowly by,
If I could soar I would try, to take these wings and fly,
Away to where the leaves turn red,
But no matter where I am instead,
Singin' along to feelin' alright,
We're makin' it by in the pink moonlight,
It's always Penny and me tonight,
Cause Penny and me like to roll the windows down,
Turn the radio up, push the pedal to the ground,
And Penny and me like to gaze at starry skies,
Close our eyes, pretend to fly,
Close our eyes pretend to fly,
It's always Penny and me tonight,
Penny likes to get away,
And drown her pain, in lemonade,
And Penny Dreams Of Rainy Days,
And Nights Up Late By The Fireplace
An aimless conversations bout' the better days,
Singin' along to feeling alright, yeah,
We're makin' it by in the pink moonlight,
It's always Penny and me tonight,
还有一首歌值得一提,With You In Your Dreams。一概改狂热的风格,他们用大多数男人隐藏在心底的忧郁低调的默默的温情禅师着离别。If I'm gone when you wake up, please don't cry. And if I'm gone when you wake up, it's not goodbye。死亡在这里只是一个明媚清晨里独自起床时的安静的失落,以及以平静的心对生命的膜拜。所以他们说Don't look back at this time,As a time of heartbreak and distress。明天依旧美好,因为你一直存在在我心底最深处。
