[Track of The Day] Foster the People / Waste


這種冷天休假時總捨不得離開被窩,常常一睡就到下午3,4點,起床時忍不注對自己發脾氣...2011年倒數幾天了,如果睡覺是一種罪,Just let me be the sinner...

Foster the People - Waste

I'll hold your hand when you are feelin' mad at me
When the monsters they won't go
And your windows won't close
I'll pretend to see what you see

How long I say how long
Will you relive the things that are gone
Oh yeah the devil's on your back
But I know you can shake him off

And every day that you want to waste
That you want to waste, You can
And every day that you want to wake up
And you want to wake, You can
And every day that you want to change
That you want to change, Yeah
I'll help you see it through
'Cause I just really wanna be with you

You know it's funny how freedom
Can make us feel contained
When the muscles in our legs aren't used to all the walkin'

I know if you could snap both your fingers
Then you'd escape with me
But in the meantime I'll just wait here and listen to you when you speak
Or scream

And every day that you want to waste
That you want to waste, You can
And every day that you want to wake up
And you want to wake, You can
And every day that you want to change
That you want to change, Yeah
I'll help you see it through
'Cause I just really wanna be with you

The truth cuts us
And pulls us back up
And separates the things that look the same
But you can fight it off
You can fight it off, You can

And every day that you want to waste
That you want to waste, You can
And every day that you want to wake up
And you want to wake, You can
And every day that you want to change
That you want to change, Yeah
I'll help you see it through
'Cause I just really wanna be with you

Lana Del Rey - Off to The Races/ Yayo




















Lana Del Rey即將在1/30發行的新專輯"Born To Die"本週再釋出新曲兩首,"Off To The Races"和"Yayo"。

"Off To The Races"應該是Lana Del Rey第一首重節奏快歌,她的唱腔隨著跳躍式的編曲時而挑逗、時而bitchy,最後還以高雅的絃樂收尾,相當不按牌理出牌;這首歌的音樂影像也非常有趣,由一連串舊電影裡女兵/女殺手的片段剪輯而成,十足的Bad Girl attitude!! "Yayo"又是一首灰暗的ballad,Lana Del Rey天賦的killer嗓音發揮得淋漓盡致,對她而言唱歌真的像呼吸一般不費吹灰...

Lana Del Rey - Born To Die (Video)














來了!!!
Lana Del Rey首支officail (砸錢?)的Music Video終於出現!!!

這支遠赴法國拍攝的錄影帶由Lana Del Rey好友Woodkid執導,巴洛克式的場景與光影的絕妙組合可以看出導演功力不凡!!! W說Lana Del Rey高傲的表情,和王座兩旁的老虎真是太搭;我說最後淌血的那一幕也太美了吧!!!

Lana Del Rey - Video Games (Live on Inas Nacht)
















一直有個矛盾的習慣,遇上了非常喜歡的歌,我會刻意壓抑想聽的衝動,深怕聽太多次會磨掉最初聆聽時的感觸,但Lana Del Rey的Video Games是個徹底的例外,起床刷牙時我聽,交通路途中也聽,甚至在洗手間也會不自覺哼上兩句,每當Lana Del Rey的歌聲伴著鋼琴流瀉出來,心裡都覺得一片平靜,某種程度來說Video Games可說是我近期壞情緒的出口。

日前Lana Del Rey造訪德國現場演唱了這首成名曲,有別於錄音室版的豎琴滿天飛,Live版留下低迴的鋼琴伴奏,加入簡單的合成音效,卻遠比錄音室版本更加深入人心,一不小心眼淚都快被逼出來了...我很喜歡現在的Lana Del Rey,帶著素人的靦腆,卻又散發遮掩不住的鋒芒,這種in-between的氣質,在她徹底大紅以後可能就不復見吧...
