Nerina的歌听上去非常Pop,她是非常标准的Alternative Pop/Rock Singer/Songwriter。Fires是由Wendy And Lisa,Smashing Pumpkins以及Tori Amos的几位主创人员合力制作的,相信已经是品质的保证了。
首发单曲《Everybody's Gone To War》拿下了UK单曲榜No.14的好成绩,谁都渴望和平,Nerina用辛辣的歌词唱出每个人心中的希冀。《Idaho》通过Nerina的亲身经历,诉说了成功道路上的坎坷。《Geek Love》则将女性细腻的视角转向爱情。《Fires》中的每一首歌,都要讲述一个故事,或者一个理念,Nerina的视角广泛而敏锐,从政治到个人,从事业到爱情,社会的诸多方面都无所不包。然而,在有限的时间内,往往表达的思想越多,越难以给人留下深刻的印象。这把火,燃烧的范围过于广泛,杀伤力必然受到削弱。《Fires》能让人获得警醒,却无法让听者产生发自内心震撼。
其实,涉猎的题材广泛,意味着歌曲的风格和Nerina的声音表现也不会自始而终丝毫不变,反而给人以飘忽不定之感。无论Avril的朝气还是Tori Amos沉痛,都可以听得见。Nerina的声音不像Regina Spektor那样富于表情,有一条引领听觉的主线,声音变了,味道随之改变,记忆于是模糊。
整体来说,Nerina Pallot的《Fires》是张不容错过的出色作品,快板生动激烈的歌曲提供了悦耳的旋律,慢板深省平静的歌曲又作了一些有深度的探讨。Nerina冲破荆棘的重围,终于获得了销量的肯定.
5 o' clock and a fire escape symphony,
Spilling out across the road and the square,
And the sky's the same as your own, do you think of me?
Do the parks, and trees, and the leaves, reach you, there?
After the rain, in the lonely hours he haunts me, calling out,
Again and again.
Sophia, Sophia, I'm burning, I'm burning.
It's a fire, it's a fire, I cannot put out,
Sophia, Sophia, I'm learning that some things,
I can't go without and one of those is him.
And now I walk these streets like a stranger in my home town,
Learn the language, form the words when I speak,
But he changed me, I'm his ghost since he came around,
And now I count the hours and the days in the weeks.
Passion and silence,
Every word, every time, a measure,
It's the science of the soul,
And his books, they breathe a reason and now I want to know...
Sophia, Sophia, I'm burning, I'm burning,
It's a fire, it's a fire, I cannot put out,
Sophia, Sophia, I'm learning that some things,
I can't go without and one of those is him.
You, with your new born eyes,
Have you ever loved a man like I love him?
Do you hurt but still feel alive, like never before?
Oh, Sophia, Sophia.
Sophia, Sophia, I'm burning, I'm burning,
It's a fire, it's a fire, I cannot put out,
Sophia, Sophia, I'm learning that some things,
I can't go without and one of those is him. |
