David Bowie

專輯:Space Oddity

(專輯原同名David Bowie)

發行時間:04/11/1969

終於是異瞳搖滾傳奇人物David Bowie!

放了三首歌,主題各不相同:

1. Space Oddity

2. An Occasional Dream

3. Cygnet Committee

"Space Oddity"‍‍

網上摘了一段評論:「這首歌講述「湯姆少校」作為太空人在執行月球登陸計劃時,不幸發生機件短路意外,和美國太空總署失去聯繫,於是坐在小如錫罐的太空艙內,望著蔚藍的地球什麼都做不了,只能永遠的漂流在黑暗孤寂的太空當中。在歌曲最後,湯姆少校被留在太空當中,似乎已經放棄求生。但另一個角度來看,其實那不是消極的狀態,而是勇敢面對那極度的孤獨,放手讓自己漂流在孤寂的空間裡,與自己對話,而不是慌張尋找依靠。」

雙聲道設計很有趣,一定要帶耳機或者用可以分離雙聲道的設備聽!覺得整首歌對孤寂漂流那種無助又迷戀的複雜情感都是通過雙聲道體現的。(另外這首歌網易雲上的翻譯實在是太糟糕了)

"An Occasional Dream"

寫給舞者Hermione Farthingale

I recall how we lived

On the corner of a bed

And we'd speak of the Swedish room

 

Of hessian and wood

And we'd talk with our eyes

Of the sweetness in our lives

And tomorrows of rich surprise

 

Some things we could do

In our madness

 

We burnt one hundred days

Time takes time to pass

And I still hold some ashes to me

An Occasional Dream

And we'd sleep oh so close

But not really close our eyes

Tween the sheets of summer bathed in blue

 

Gently weeping nights

It was long long ago

And I still can't touch your name

For the days of fate were strong for you

Danced you far from me

In my madness

I see your face in mine

I keep a photograph

It burns my wall with time

Time

An Occasional Dream

Of mine

An Occasional Dream

Of mine

An Occasional Dream

Of mine
