sp拿手的中版歌曲在此轉變成歪邪憂傷並容的流行曲
緊接著的 “perfect”會有一種1979的美好錯覺
“Daphne descends”則延續著 “ava adore”的無可自拔
我就是喜歡聽Billy唱著 "you love him, you love him for yourself"
“once upon a time”
大概是專輯中第一首清楚點出對母親不捨的歌曲
一連接下來兩首“tear”
與“crestfallen”一次比一次頹廢 迷失 向下深潛 哀痛
不論是悲傷無助地唱著
do you know the way that I can?
do you konw the way that i can't lose?
do you know the things that I can?
do you konw the things that i can't do?
do you know the way that I can?
do you konw the way that i can't choose?
you laugh the light
i cry the wound
in grey afternoons......................
或是用虛弱蒼白的聲音不停問著 who am i
連續三首的絕佳痛苦轟炸之後
“apples+oranjes”“pug”終於在專輯的中段 帶來了比較明快的節奏
得以把情緒稍作一些掩飾 歇息
類舞曲般的節奏編曲 是故作堅強的遺忘 還是徬徨迷失的序曲
“the tale of dusty & pistol pete”
我們終於擁有一首不太工業電子的中慢板 填滿令人熟悉的撥弦
而這三首看似叫平靜的歌曲 實則為緊接而來的暴風雨的前夕
從“annie-dog”開始又一頭栽入Billy的任性哀愁
與接下來的“shame”
迷幻哀傷的“behold! The night mare” 做了絕佳的鋪陳
共同為“for martha” 帶來最後一波高潮
從一開始的鋼琴 到後段灑狗血強烈失真的吉他solo
是Billy選擇最觸動傷痛的泣訴:
if you have to go, don't say goodbye
if you have to go, don't you cry
if you have to go, i will get by
someday i'll follow you
and see you on the other side
