Volcano (live) - Damien Rice

Volcano-Damien Rice
一个年过三十的作家,高产,每天都能写出很漂亮的文字,那些文字能啃噬人的心脏。起起落落,懊恨悔丧,斑驳破碎,仿佛能从中看见他自己历尽血与黑暗的虚弱灵魂。世界本五彩斑斓,只不过美好与繁丑同驻。他选择将丑恶斥予笔尖。
别人赞誉他的灵气和文字。从不缺乏灵感,因为它们来自痛苦彷徨的曾经。那么久的曾经,他痛苦。他美丽的笔尖是痛苦的孩子。
直到他遇到了他的妻子。
才是个20岁的孩子,金发,爱笑,夏天穿吊带衫,赤脚在沙滩上走来走去。阳光喜欢落在她脸上,阴影不喜欢。
她填补了他,至少刚开始时是的。那时候他们都快乐,他的忧郁融化在她笑容的温度里。
但她不是药,她还太年轻,没有办法将那股子热情化作热巧克力喂养他病了的灵魂。她如依旧小女孩般轻声轻气地嗓音里不再是笑意,而是一种冷漠的悲伤——就像他一样。两个寻找彼此灵魂的缝隙的人互相询问,“这是你需要的吗?”亲吻,“这样足够了吗?”
他们唱着和着,反复交织着那优美的剖白。“我们不相等,对你而言我是虚幻,你不再需要着我。”“你给了我一座又一座山,可我只想要一片海。”
白天,他们不再正视对方;夜晚,他们相背而眠,把身体缩成在子宫里的模样。歌唱,轻声细语;呼吸,呼吸。
悲伤的人没有太大力气,直到火山将他们熔化。

Damien的Volcano听过好几个版本,初听是看了一个有关电影《猛于炮火》(Louder Than Bombs)的剪辑,BGM用的是Volcano的纯器乐版本。一开始就被它与影片契合的独特气质迷住了,现代另类的节奏,带几分古典色彩的大提琴,牵着旋律在疯狂与平静边缘游离。我最爱的是这个Live版本,bassline更加粗重些,但乐器和声部分又较原曲更加清新,可能是用原声代替了电声的缘故。但仍是建议将其与Alternative版本同时食用。此外还推荐Phillip Phillips的翻唱版本。

Volcano-Phillip Phillips

Lyrics(Live):
Don't hold yourself like that
You'll hurt your knees
I kissed your mouth and back
But that's all I need
Don't build your world around
Volcanoes melt you down
What I am to you is not real
What I am to you you do not need
What I am to you is not what you mean to me
You give me miles and miles of mountains
And I'll ask for the sea

Don't throw yourself like that
In front of me
I kissed your mouth your back
Is that all you need?
Don't drag my love around
Volcanoes melt me down
What I am to you is not real
What I am to you you do not need
What I am to you is not what you mean to me
You give me miles and miles of mountains
And I'll ask for what I give to you
Is just what I'm going through
This is nothing new
No no just another phase of finding what I really need
Is what makes me bleed
And like a new disease she's still too young to treat
Volcanoes melt me down
She's still too young to treat
Volcanoes melt me down(She’s still too young)
(Repeat)
You not me babe
