Lights的"Siberia"是我2011年很常聽的專輯之一,雖然聲線不算突出,曲風也嫌芭樂,但專輯裡很多首充滿意象的歌詞我都很喜歡。
我的愛歌"Banner"總算拍了MV,並被選為第二主打,混音版本也可望出現。但我不懂,歌詞唱了"Lift it up like a banner/ Hold it up over me",MV最後就非得插上一根旗子?這樣的表現方式不是太過偷懶,流於表面嗎?
Lights - Banner
Maybe it's bricks and mortar now
Whether or not they run it down
I don't want anything to shake that shape away
No one told us which way to come
Nobody mapped oblivion
So I go growing roses in the disarray
Just like most, falling head in
'Til my ghost fills the bed in
So lift it up like a banner, hold it up over me
If this war is never ending
I'll take this love down with me
Like a banner, like a banner
I don't need fate to give it time
It doesn't take pain to change your mind
No weapon can sever the soul from me
Not the sorceress, not the money
All my cleverness, all my cunning
So lift it up like a banner, hold it up over me
If this war is never ending
I'll take this love down with me
Like a banner, like a banner
It's around me in my surroundings
It counts me when it starts the counting
In the chaos there is a standard
I'm carrying it like a banner
It's around me in my surroundings
It counts me when it starts the counting
In the chaos there is a standard
I'm carrying it like a banner
So lift it up like a banner, hold it up over me
If this war is never ending
I'll take this love down with me
Like a banner, hold it up over me
If this war is never ending
I'll take this love down with me
Whether or not they run it down
I don't want anything to shake that shape away
No one told us which way to come
Nobody mapped oblivion
So I go growing roses in the disarray
Just like most, falling head in
'Til my ghost fills the bed in
So lift it up like a banner, hold it up over me
If this war is never ending
I'll take this love down with me
Like a banner, like a banner
I don't need fate to give it time
It doesn't take pain to change your mind
No weapon can sever the soul from me
Not the sorceress, not the money
All my cleverness, all my cunning
So lift it up like a banner, hold it up over me
If this war is never ending
I'll take this love down with me
Like a banner, like a banner
It's around me in my surroundings
It counts me when it starts the counting
In the chaos there is a standard
I'm carrying it like a banner
It's around me in my surroundings
It counts me when it starts the counting
In the chaos there is a standard
I'm carrying it like a banner
So lift it up like a banner, hold it up over me
If this war is never ending
I'll take this love down with me
Like a banner, hold it up over me
If this war is never ending
I'll take this love down with me
