加速的後風景。Editors


無精打采的早晨,遲到上班,摩托車背景拼貼的是灰濛濛的天空。記不得幾次是這樣的精神不濟,選擇將MP3 Player裡的Editors開催,車速不自覺地加快,若要選一首年度最佳振奮單曲,〈Smokers Outside The Hospital Doors〉無疑可以直接冠軍加冕。帥氣的鼓就這樣重重打下去,電吉他與效果器聲響囂張地高漲狂飆,在滿滿皆是Climax的情緒裡,暫歇,再度用重鼓攀上一波漲點!

Editors - The Weight Of The World


去年對Editors尚未如此有印象,也許是愛上了The National的緣故,讓我重新拾起他們低沉迷人的聲音,加速而令人隨之點頭的破表節奏。來自英國伯明罕的Editors,四位成員包括主唱Tom Smith、吉他手Chris Urbanowicz、貝斯手Russell Leetch、鼓手Ed Lay,常被指涉有著Interpol、Joy Division的影子,踩著後龐克復興而來。

首張專輯《The Back Room》讓Editors一炮而紅、大獲好評,不但UK榜第二,還入圍2006年的英國水星獎,接著今年的《An End Has a Start》直接竄升UK榜冠軍,聲勢壯大。雖然部份樂評對第二張的評價往往不怎麼客氣,但自己仍是愛個半死,或許跟自己愛煽情歌有很大的關係(?)。第一張的痛點有:〈Munich〉、〈Blood〉、尤屬〈Bullets〉那幾乎快要斷氣的唱法,毫無喘息有夠爽。第二張的最大痛點剛剛說過了,在主打歌〈Smokers Outside The Hospital Doors〉,每放一次就毫無招架能力一次;其他愛歌還有〈An End Has A Start〉、〈Escape The Nest〉、〈The Weight Of The World〉的哀傷壯麗,聽罷,實在忍不住想立刻衝去英國看他們。

所以。快吧。加速。你也會愛上Editors編寫的車後風景。

Editors / Smokers Outside The Hospital Doors
 

Pull the blindfold down
So your eyes can't see
Now run as fast as you can
Through this field of trees

Say goodbye to everyone
You have ever known
You are not gonna see them ever again

I can't shake this feeling I've got
My dirty hands, have I been in the wars?
The saddest thing that I'd ever seen
Were smokers outside the hospital doors

Someone turn me around
Can I start this again?

How can we wear our smiles
With our mouths wide shut
'Cause you stopped us from singin'

I can't shake this feeling I've got
My dirty hands, have I been in the wars?
The saddest thing that I'd ever seen
Were smokers outside the hospital doors

Someone turn me around
Can I start this again?
Now someone turn us around
Can we start this again?

We've all been changed
From what we were
Our broken parts
Left smashed off the floor

I can't believe you
If I can't hear you
I can't believe you
If I can't hear you

We've all been changed
From what we were
Our broken parts
Smashed off the floor

We've all been changed
From what we were
Our broken parts
Smashed off the floor

Someone turn me around
(We've all been changed from what we were)
Can I start this again?
(Our broken parts smashed off the floor)
Now someone turn us around
(We've all been changed from what we were)
Can we start this again?
(Our broken parts smashed off the floor)
