跟《歌手》學(xué)英文：林憶蓮 Run
《歌手》第3期競演,可謂硝煙四起,不僅7位首發(fā)歌手都卯足了勁兒,節(jié)目還首次迎來雙補位踢館。參加競演的9位歌手里,有3位歌手選擇演繹英文歌曲,他們分別是:林憶蓮,杜麗莎,迪瑪希。其中,前2位歌手排名非常靠后,這不禁讓小編想起劉家昌老師在回憶錄里的一段話,“歌唱是自然的,發(fā)自心靈的,感情的。歌聲,如何比賽?”炫技,還是歸真?你如何看待呢?下面就讓我們跟隨《歌手》,來學(xué)習(xí)一下3首英文歌中的第1首,由林憶蓮唯美“蓮式唱腔”演繹的蘇格蘭另類搖滾樂隊Snow Patrol(雪地巡游隊)的熱門單曲《Run》。
林憶蓮 Run
林憶蓮(Sandy Lam)作為首個出場的歌手,將這首感人淚下的《Run》演繹得細膩動人。開頭舒緩低沉,娓娓道來;中部蓄勢待發(fā),層層遞進;結(jié)尾高潮碰撞,情感爆發(fā)。柔和的燈光打在裙擺,給人一種歲月靜好的感覺。

在整個職業(yè)生涯中,“雪地巡游隊”曾攬獲7座愛爾蘭流星音樂獎,并六度榮獲全英音樂獎提名。

【關(guān)于歌曲】
"Run" is a song by Northern Irish/Scottish alternative rock band Snow Patrol from their third studio album, Final Straw (2003). Snow Patrol's frontman, Gary Lightbody,
conceived
the idea of writing "Run" in 2000.
《逃》是北愛爾蘭/蘇格蘭另類搖滾樂隊“雪地巡游隊”第三章錄音室專輯《最后的稻草》(2003)里的一首歌。它是“雪地巡游隊”的主唱加里·萊特博迪于2000年靈感迸發(fā)時寫下的。
In an interview with Michael Odell, from Q Magazine, Lightbody explained the song was not written about "being a child", as he tended to say.
He described: "I was on a massive bender and one night I was drinking in the bar of the Glasgow School of Art.
在接受《Q Magazine》麥克·奧德爾的采訪時,萊特博迪解釋說,這首歌并不是想要講述一個“年少輕狂”的故事。
“那時候我正在參加一個大型狂歡會,一整晚都在格拉斯哥藝術(shù)學(xué)院的酒吧里喝酒。
I fell down a full flight of stairs.
Jonny Quinn found me in the stairwell with blood coming out of my head ... I split my head open and my eye was closed and I lost a few teeth ...
我從一整層樓梯上摔了下來。
約翰尼·奎因(“雪地巡游隊”的鼓手)在樓梯口發(fā)現(xiàn)了滿頭是血的我...我撞破了頭,暈了過去,還摔掉幾顆牙...
I wrote Run soon after on this little guitar I'd tried to smash up in my shitty little room near Hillhead."
事后不久,我就用這把小吉他寫下了《逃》這首歌 — 之前住在臨近希爾黑德(蘇格蘭最大城市格拉斯哥的一個區(qū))的陋室里時,我還恨不得把這把吉他摔得粉身碎骨呢。”
In an interview with Daily Mail in 2009, Lightbody added: "We had nothing. I was in a flat in Glasgow. No doubt it was raining. The song was me writing about an imagined world, projecting myself into better times."
2009年接受《每日郵報》的采訪時,萊特博迪對這首歌做了進一步的解釋:“那時我們窮的叮當(dāng)響。我住在格拉斯哥的一幢公寓里,當(dāng)時大雨傾盆。這首歌寫的是我想象中的世界 — 我將自己設(shè)身于一個恰逢其時的年代。”
