2008年6月20日 评论已被关闭

排名不代表一切,但已经足够我等伪歌迷乐呵了,不是么?
看来一个月前的MTV Movie Awards没有白去啊,虽然受到舞台的限制那天发挥得不好=v=

Violet Hill + Viva la Vida:Coldplay新专辑头两曲赏析

2008年5月8日 没有评论

Coldplay新专辑Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends终于要来了~
到今天已经有Violet Hill和Viva la Vida两首歌放出,此外还有一首随NME杂志附送不录入专辑的A Spell a rebel yell,我就先来说说一下听这几首歌的感觉吧~

Violet Hill

首上周放出的新专辑首只single,用一句话来说,就是很Coldplay的一首歌。一如往昔的慢热,并没有让人感到惊喜。但这就是最典型的
Coldplay,Chris富有磁性的声音如同一首小诗般喃喃道来。然后慢慢进入高潮,最后的结尾更是余音绕梁:If you love
me,won’t you let me know?
这首歌需要一遍一遍的重听,旋律不算太悦耳,但越听越有味道,是Coldplay歌迷绝对会喜欢的一首歌。

Viva la Vida
这首歌今天才放出,从听到的第一遍开始,我就认定了这绝对是In My Place级别的经典=v=

曲以以前Coldplay很少用的弦乐开章,隐约让人感到了一丝的气势磅礴,然后开头第一句I used to rule the
world,Seas would rise when I gave the word便证实了这种猜想。Viva la
Vida在拉丁语中是long live life的意思,之前我还在猜会不会是励志歌曲,但听到之后后如同”Now the old king is
dead! Long live the king!”这样的史诗风格却实在给了我太大的惊喜。
如果说Violet Hill需要一遍一遍重复听来慢热的话,那这首歌就是从第一遍开始就让你欲罢不能。我从早上开始到现在六个小时一直在听这首歌,一个小时之前Mew听到后也是同样的爱不释手,而这首歌也在短短十小时之内登上了iTunes单曲榜TOP10。
Chris同学的声音始终都还是那么有魅力,而这首歌更体现了他的写曲天赋,弦乐也更好地衬托了他的声音,歌词跟曲的配合也是完美。总之,经典就是经典=v=没听到同学们赶快去听吧
哦。。。顺便再说一句,这首歌也被ESPN签下了,将录入今年欧洲杯的OST~

Viva la Vida

I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sweep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy’s eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing:
“Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!”
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of sand, pillars of sand

I hear Jerusalem’s bells’ ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My issionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can not explain
Once you know there was never, never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world
(Ohhh)

It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in.
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People could not believe what I’d become
Revolutionaries Wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a string lonely
Oh who would ever want to be king?

I hear Jerusalem’s bells’ ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can not explain
I know Saint Peter will call my name
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)

I hear Jerusalem’s bells’ ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can not explain
I know Saint Peter will call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh
