Lady&Bird—>Keren Ann和Bradi Johannsson,一个是拥有多国血统的混血女创作人,一个是冰岛Trip-hop乐队Bang Gang的主唱。化身为Lady&Bird共同合作的一张同名专辑,优秀的女声出色的编曲。吉他加上一些柔软的和声,入耳是滑腻的,然而又不是一种甜腻,借用一句形容mum音乐的话就是:”于冰冷之处呵出温暖之花”女生合唱的吟或是拟声层次丰富而韵律感十足层层叠叠不犹让人想起莲花之类的东西一层层铺展开来,花瓣柔和呈现的同时清香出来了,浸入人心.很迷恋Lady Bird的和声,简洁明了,力度适宜,音乐不俗,转折或是高潮往往给人京戏不在该到的时候到来,我们终是喜欢在刺激或是未知中得到欢乐的.Lady Bird,是一支有阳光破碎声音的美丽乐队.Lady Bird. 或是Lady and Bird….
Suicide is Painless,叙述他人故事一般的冷静和娓娓道来.并不像Ann个人作品中的那样愉悦,也没有Johannsson惯常的Trip-hop桥段,简简单单的AC Guitar分解和弦,伴随的却是相对复杂的人声,这固然包括了Lady和bird的声音,其中Ann负责了3个声部,所有合成起来,加上歌词,犹如处于自杀的边缘并考虑中,压抑,模糊,同时代有疑虑的感觉… Lady和Bird在树上欢歌,时间停止在这一刻.
歌词: Through early morning fog i see The visions of the things to be The pains that are withheld from me I realise and i can see
That suicide is painless It brings on any changes But i can take or leave it if i please
The game of life is hard to play I’m gonna loose it anyway But losing cards are some days late So this is all i have to say Suicide is painless It brings on any changes But i can take or leave it if i please
The sword of time will pierce our skin It doesn’t hurt when it begins But as it works its way on in The pain grows stronger watch it grin Suicide is painless It brings on any changes But i can take or leave it if i please A brave man once requested me
To answer questions that i keep “is it to be or not to be” And i reply “oh why ask me ?” Suicide is painless It brings on any changes But i can take or leave it if i please And you can do the same thing if you please /
