    胭脂摇滚

    Ella fitzgerald

    Ella fitzgerald ,"爵士摇滚第一妇人",可是在她13岁时在低等妓院门口把风却是唯一生存的办法.和Armstrong一样,Fitzgerald没有办法在唱歌的时候掩饰自己的快乐,在40岁时,她的嗓子仍旧散发着不识愁滋味的天真,纯净,缅甸甚至甜美.我有时候也在想,是不是只有这样过分甜蜜的欢笑才能掩饰那些沉重的回忆.

     summertime:

    summertime,and the livin'is easy.

    fish are jumpin,and the cotton is high,

    oh,your daddy's rich,and your ma is good-lookin.

    so hush,little baby,don't you cry.

     one of these mornings,

    you're going to rise up singing.

    yeah you'll spread your wings,and you'll take to the sky.

    but till that morning,there's a-nothin can harm you.

     with daddy and mammy standin by.

     

     

    billie holiday:

    除了她之外,我想我所听的摇滚里面再也找不到那样的悲怆.

    她的经历似乎在告诉所有人怎样从这个世界上那些所谓丑陋的,在黑暗中腐烂的东西之中找到自己的尊严和脊骨.

    她很小的时候离开父母开始独自一人的生活,十三岁时染上毒隐,并在今后的一生中都没有戒掉,在她基本上都是一个人生活的孤独中,一开始就踏上了自我毁灭的快车.

    与ELLA恰好相反,就算欢快的歌曲被billie唱出来,仍旧镌刻着很沉重的悲怆,很少有其他歌手会本能地在自己的歌声中渗入如她般的压抑与爆发并存的态势.她的歌声不嘹亮,也不像仔细抹过的玻璃般泛出虚假的清澈,它甚至是浑浊的,反映出没有经过任何修饰和拟声的真实,1958年,四十三岁的她完全弱化了歌曲中的旋律元素,她用被毒品完全毁掉的沙哑嗓音呢喃呻吟,歌颂她从不与外人道的不满和无奈.跟似一中濒临死亡的声音.

    有一些乐评人说她歌曲的艺术性已完全毁灭.我想也许billie从她开始唱歌的时候就不明白什么是艺术,她只是在向人们说她不知如何开口的创口.或者也就是生活本身.

    她用最极端的方式来释放她的自卑.

    于是我从不敢晚上听她的歌,她的歌太沉重的表达她对生活的决绝.偶尔听着听着不觉却泪流满面.

    don't explain:

    hush now,don't explain.

    I know you raised cane

    but i'm glad your back,don't explain

    quiet,no explain

    you mixed with something

    skip that lipstick

    don't explain.

    you know that I love you

    and what love endures

    all my thought of you

    for I'm old completely yours

    cry to hear folks chatter

    and I know you cheat

    right or wrong,don't matter

    when you're with me,sweet

    hush now,don't explain</P< P>

    you're my joy and pain

    my life's yours love

    don't explain.

     

    nina simone:

     

    nina并没有ella或者billie那样的成功,与前者相比,她实在无法从心低里挖出那么多廉价的快乐,而与后者相比,她的戏剧色彩或者说悲剧色彩又太暗淡,而她从某个角度来看可是算是王熙凤那般固执地要用肉身和整个世界战斗的坚强女人.

    在八十一岁的时候仍然固执地唱<I want a little sugar in my bowl>.

    她如果曾为了生存而不得不接触音乐的话,那么她人生的一半则不得不为了音乐而忍受生存.

    可是在爵士摇滚的范围里,她几乎是唯一的,彻底的,活色生香的女人.

    strange fruit:

    southern trees bear strange fruit.

    blood on the leaves and blood at the root.

    black bodies swinging in the southern breeze.

    strang fruit hanging from the poplar trees.

    pastoral scene of the gallant south.

    the bulging eyes and the twisted mouth.

    scent of magnolias,sweet and fresh.

    then the sudden smell of burning fresh.

    here is fruit for the crows to pluck,

    for the rain to gather,for the wind to suck.

    for the sun to rot,for the leaves to drop.

    here is a strange and bitter crop

     

     这些就是我深爱着的摇滚胭脂.有谁说,忏悔皆是苦.没有答案,不见出路.

    区区情字熏眉染骨,误尽苍生流年顾盼。

    胧月夜。光源氏。若有始有终。
