Lady&Bird
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.
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惊喜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,然而Lady Bird完全不归属于阴暗范畴的乐队,音乐温暖而略显示明亮,两个纯美如孩童的音乐精灵,化名为Lady&bird,天马行空,奔放自由地嬉戏小小的音乐天堂中。现实世界中的Lady,keren Ann Zeidel,1974年出生的以色列及荷兰籍的女子,现居法国巴黎,曾经在美国圣地哥攻读哲学与心理学,唱作俱佳才貌双全。Suicide is Painless,叙述他人故事一般的冷静和娓娓道来.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,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.
两个童音,如同鸟笼中稚鸟的对话,冷落,寂寞,伴随,冰凉这些词语没有出现以上长段的歌词对白却在清脆滴水般透净的音乐中钝重地说明了一切.Lady只有Bird,Bird只有Lady.阳光还是破碎的,来时的路已无法回去,破碎的割伤无法修因为我们的经脉血管早已种下忧伤和苦痛.即使有阳光,即使有"女士鸟"优雅地歌唱.温温暖暖,悠悠闲闲,懒懒洋洋.唱一束破碎婉转的午后阳光;转一轮无法回旋的岁月时长.

Suicide Is Painless
Through early morning fog I see
Visions of the things to be
The pains that are withheld for me
I realize and I can see
That suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please
The game of life is hard to play
I m going to lose it anyway
The losing card I ll someday lay
So this is all I have to say
Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please
The sword of time will pierce our skins
It doesn t hurt when it begins
But as it works it s way on in
The pain grow stronger watch it grin
Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please
A brave man once requested me
To answer questions that are key
Is it to be or not to be
And I replied Oh why ask me.
Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please
And you can do the same thing if you please
