Ten Sharp
Ten Sharp這個老牌的荷蘭團體,認識他們的時候是我尚在德國唸書的時候,也是Lawrence大力推薦的一張好碟。吸引到我的並不是他們的合聲如何,反而是在他們的Instruments和Programming的部份。在這張under the waterline裡頭,會發現似乎在眼前是一片寬闊的草原(有點像是遠離非洲的那種一望無盡的大草原),而我似乎是坐在沒有遮蓬的吉普車上奔馳;也像是乘著汽艇在風平浪靜的海面上跳躍著前行。聽他們的音樂有種灑脫,我在想也許是因為荷蘭人那種自古開放與包容的性格使然,雖然講的是荷蘭語,但是95%以上的荷蘭人皆可以流利的英文對話,即便是德文甚至是法文。這道讓我想起過去在德國求學之時,曾結伴前往過三回,其中也有不少有趣的小插曲發生,這部份就在日後有機會再來閒磕牙吧!Ten Sharp在樂器的引用上,總讓人時時有出奇不意的驚喜,就好像是說:靠!竟然可以這樣用,剎聽會覺得主角有好幾個,時而是vocal時而是樂器,即便同時出現卻也不會尷尬也不會突兀,有點像是相當有默契的好朋友在較勁。
台灣的朋友應該對這個團體相當陌生,我搜尋了一下台灣的網站,但似乎不見啥影子來介紹這個團體,而我能做的就是在自己的網站上,儘可能的把我的感觸將這個團體介紹給好朋友們──
Under The Waterline
You
It's alright with me
As long as you are by my side
Talk, or just say nothing
I don't mind, your looks never lie
I was always on the run
Finding out what I was looking for
And I was always insecure, oh
Just until I found
Words often don't come easy
I never learned to show the inside of me
Oh no my baby, and you, you’re always patient
Dragging out what I try to hide
I was always on the run
Finding out what I was looking for
And I was always insecure
Until I found, oh oh
You, you are always on my mind
You, you're the one I'm living for
You, you're my ever lasting fire
Oooh (you're my always shining star)
(You're my always)
The night, always a good friend
A glass of wine and the lights down low
And you, lying beside me
Me full of love and filled with hope
You, you are always on my mind
You, you're the one I'm living for
You, you're my ever lasting fire
You, oh oh
(You're my always shining star)
Always on my mind
You, you're the one I'm living for
You, you're my ever lasting fire
Ooh ooh
(You're my always shining star)
(You're my always)
Ooh
(You’re my always shining star)
