Nitzer Ebb, Martin Gore, Alan Wilder

  前幾天在檢查Martin有哪些跟別人合作的project的時候,突然發現這個:他幫Nitzer Ebb這個團的「新歌」Once You See合音。「新歌」那兩字括起來是因為……這首歌在某電台播過,Nitzer Ebb也在現場表演的時候唱過,可是後來就沒動靜了,沒發單曲也沒專輯(當時是2007年,現在已經2009年啦)。不過有人同情廣大群眾的需要,所以把從廣播錄下來的聲軌丟到YouTube去了,所以就算沒發單曲還是聽得到,哈哈哈。

Nitzer Ebb + Martin Gore(合音),“Once You See”


  我以前徹底不認識Nitzer Ebb,但聽完上面那首歌以後我開始感興趣了(反而沒怎麼注意到Martin的合音,囧)。根據wikipedia上面的資料來看,他們跟DM淵源甚深:DM的World Violation歐洲巡迴時請Nitzer Ebb當暖場團,在這段時間DM也常常穿著Nitzer Ebb的T恤,甚至還在Enjoy the Silence的mv裡面穿。我看到這一段描述時心想,有嗎??關於那個mv,我只記得King David拖著一把椅子到處跑來跑去,後來Dave半開玩笑抱怨拍這mv的時候他有多辛苦,尤其是冰原上那一段,冷死了。剛才重看一遍mv,呃……有一些黑白片段裡面Dave跟Fletch顯然是穿著某種T恤,但是外面的皮外套把什麼都遮住了,誰知道裡面穿的是哪個團的T恤啊!!不過如果他們真的這麼做了,真是揪感心,證明DM真的對Nitzer Ebb有愛。XD
  至少Alan Wilder就跟他們合作愉快。Alan先是在1991年幫他們製作了一首歌Come Alive,後來又幫他們製作了Ebbhead這一整張專輯;後來Alan離開DM,專心做Recoil以後,也有找Nitzer Ebb的主唱Douglas McCarthy來貢獻聲音。(附帶一提:McCarthy在Unsound Methods裡面主唱那首Stalker,歌詞也是他寫的。我還滿喜歡那首變態歌。)
  聽了Nitzer Ebb的精選集以後,我還是最喜歡Come Alive,這首歌跟他們其他的歌似乎有那麼點不同。雖然歌曲中間有一些嗯嗯啊啊的聲音,不過我還是喜歡把歌詞想像得很奮鬥進取的樣子,這樣比較適合新年咩。Wake up, wake up, wake up your heart, and come alive……

yeah; come on
wake up, wake up, wake up your heart
and come alive
you could steal my car
if only i had one to drive
drive through the night
through the midnight air
screeching and speeding
in the streetlamps' glare
we come alive
we come alive
there's still one place to try
we can take a ride to loveland
there's still one place to try
we can take a ride to loveland
turn on, turn on, turn on your smile
and come alive
you could wreck my car
if we only both could survive
bumper to bumper
the fumes start to choke
coughing up the secrets
of this innermost joke
we come alive
we come alive
there's still one place to try
we can take a ride to loveland
there's still one place to try
we can take a ride to loveland
there's still one place to try
we can take a ride to loveland
there's still one place to try
we can take a ride to loveland
listen
wake up, wake up, wake up your heart
and come alive
turn on, turn on, turn on your smile
and come alive
wake up, wake up, wake up your heart
and come alive
turn on, turn on, turn on your smile
and come alive


Nitzer Ebb, “Come Alive”



Recoil, “Stalker”,這首歌也很怪,歌詞內容明明就很陰沈,但是,在反覆那段最變態的歌詞時(「如果我被抓到,妳以為妳就可以再生活下去了?少了我,妳什麼都不是,什麼都不是……」),曲子卻進行到一個最……光輝燦爛的段落,感覺就像黃昏夕陽最金黃最美麗的那一刻。(算了,可能奇怪的是我對音樂的感性。=_=)



歌詞:
I can make a perfect picture from a voice
Her serenity oozed into my ear
It didn't take long for her to know me
and I knew it felt good
Pick me up and use me
Pick me up and use me she was saying

You are nothing
You are nothing without me
You are nothing
You are nothing without me
If I am taken,
you think that you can live again
But you are nothing
You are nothing without me

You know I'm here for you,
right here for you
See I am the punished one
She, she took all the glory
She took everything,
everything I had to give
Sucking it out of me
But I am always gonna be here
because I am the punished one
She took everything,
She took all the glory,
everything I had to give
Sucking it out of me

You are nothing
You are nothing without me
You are nothing
You are nothing without me
If I am taken,
you think that you can live again
But you are nothing
You are nothing without me
Without me, you're nothing
