Lemonheads


if i could talk i'd tell you

天氣很好地!
心情沈重地!
我......
到底是什麼樣的自我?
什麼樣的虛偽?

Evan Dando
檸檬頭(Lemonheads)樂隊的首腦人物!
於八零年代於波士頓組成,
不同於 Husker DuThe Replacements的狂野~
在那段後龐克盛行的日子裡,
Evan以其稚嫩帶點沙啞的嗓音,
在美國那個硬蕊搖滾盛行的年代裡,
他們除了硬蕊龐克外亦加入了早期美國傳統鄉謠的元素,
走出了不同的一番天地~
早期的專輯走的是普普通通的硬蕊龐克,
但也翻唱了兩首著名的曲子:
Suzanne Vega的 Luka及 Simon & Garfunkel的 Mrs. Robinson,
這兩首歌帶給大家的印象一般而言是屬於輕鬆
而令人聽了會想要舞動的曲子(雖然歌詞表達未必是那麼一回事!)
他們賦予了這一首歌不同於以往的爆發力!
也使他們開始逐漸的成名~

Car Button Cloth這張專輯發表於96年,
離上一張專輯有三年之久!
專輯中 Evan走出了毒品的陰影,
重拾他所擅長的鄉村民謠與硬蕊龐克的結合~
悅耳的旋律加上歌詞中所透露的那一段戒毒的痛苦日子
顯示了 Evan不同於其他創作歌手的才華!
在專輯中他亦使用了不少較特殊的歌曲演奏手法,
諸如以敲擊鍋碗的方法代替打鼓,以口哨聲來形容
他內心既苦悶又想強顏歡笑的感覺!
if i could talk i'd tell you即為其中代表歌曲,
雖然檸檬頭實際上為 Evan一人為主的樂隊,
團員亦歷經了多次的變動,
但他擅長譜寫悅耳旋律的功夫不曾有所消減~
期待他下一張專輯!

Half past 9, quarter to ten
10:15, and we're coming around again
hold off, are we going soft?
Flushed my Zoloft, and we're comin' around again
Found out, and i almost drowned
Walked back down, and we're coming around again
If I could talk I'd tell you
If I could smile I'd let you know
You are far and away
My most imaginary friend
Khmer Rhouge, and genocide qua
Your place or mein kempf, now i'm givin' the dog a bone
slight hunch, without the vaguest clue
to keep the blood balanced, now we're coming around again
half past 9, quarter two,
10:15, and we're comin' around again
If I could talk I'd tell you
If I could smile I'd let you know
You are far and away
My most imaginary friend
Half past 9, quarter to ten
10:15, and we're coming around again
If I could talk I'd tell you
If I could smile I'd let you know
You are far and away
My most imaginary friend
