至少开头的歌词个人是很喜欢的，然后到了”My dreams of you”，我就知道这位恪职尽守的忧郁派又开始那些”花自飘零水自流”的段落了，总的来说开头一小段给我一种很熟悉的感觉，一度想过这难道是情歌满天飞之国内现状的真实反映，或者是有种老上海滩的赶脚-_-b。
之后我反复听”I close my eye”之前，终于让我回忆起了些什么，让我感到莫名熟悉的并不是音乐本身，而是Roy Orbison的歌唱。早在非常喜欢看奥特曼的时段，我有一首非常之喜爱的歌，叫做星空のバラード，当然编曲什么的和rock毫不相关。虽然wiki给In Dreams冠以Rockabilly，表明它对rock的运用，但显而易见的是ballad的成分偏多。两首歌（一首的开头）的感觉的确是很相近，至少能让我回忆起这么一首。所以给了它标题。
“My dreams of you”之后的歌词其实让我感觉很糟糕，所以我不得不掐掉，因为我感觉这是纯粹的抒情，回忆，没有任何积极的力量，作为情歌来说，实际Roy Orbison写的就是他的old flame，也许还不错？但是不怎么喜欢这类，以下省略500字。
“Crying””Only The Lonely””Blue Angel””Life Fades Away”,全部这些听完后，”Oh,Pretty Woman”仅仅是开头，就些许与众不同了，都无需赘述，杵在哪儿，带着透露着独特魅力的墨镜，唱完整首歌不怎么移动的Roy Orbison（很多视频，他身后的那些guitar手都swing起来了，他似乎依然能坚挺地屹立在那儿，站如松，所以他的视频是很有必要看的），此时也会shake起来。然而最后我不得不说，前面那些曲目，才是Bob Dylan所描述的他”sounded like he was singing from an Olympian mountaintop”的完美体现，之前提到过他的歌唱，声音也好技巧也好，都是unique的，无需形容还得自行体会。In brief，在我看来他更像是一个比较传统的country大师，rock大师，没有那么roll。
还是British Invasion，滚石ALBUM#288的album Something Else by The Kinks
看过很多采访，很多传世经典曲目作曲就花了二三十分钟，甚至几分钟都有。但是作词都是数个小时数天的单位量。可见就音乐来说，创作都是很随意的，因为拿起吉他随意地拨动，可能就是一首歌的诞生了（每天所有精力去对待音乐，作曲演出两不误，如此怎么不出大神）（环境很重要）。而写歌词的压力相对大一些，ROCK本身是带有强烈感情的，很多情况下不仅仅是个人的，这也是引起社会共鸣的原因。而某个ROCK上升到社会问题的时代，歌词确确实实是重中之重。DAVID LEE ROTH – Rock music is high-gelocity folk music,It is our life and times, but with fury and some passion.
Dirty old river, must you keep rolling （古老的浊河，奔流向晚） Flowing into the night People so busy, makes me feel dizzy （匆忙的人群，使我眩晕） Taxi light shines so bright （出租车灯，亮如白昼） But I don’t need no friends （而我不需要朋友） As long as I gaze on waterloo sunset （我只要注视滑铁卢的余晖） I am in paradise （就仿佛沐浴天堂光辉）
搬运个采访的文章：Ray Davies: Waterloo Sunset was originally Liverpool Sunset(地址)
Jade Wright talks to music legend Ray Davies about his love affair with Liverpool
WHAT do you think of when you hear the immortal lines “As long as a I gaze on Waterloo sunset, I am in paradise”?
I’d always assumed it was Waterloo, London, and that the dirty old river was the Thames, but it turns out the answer lies much nearer to home.
“Liverpool is my favourite city, and the song was originally called Liverpool Sunset,” smiles its writer, Ray Davies. “I was inspired by Merseybeat. I’d fallen in love with Liverpool by that point. On every tour, that was the best reception. We played The Cavern, all those old places, and I couldn’t get enough of it.
“I had a load of mates in bands up there, and that sound – not The Beatles but Merseybeat(解释) – that was unbelievable. It used to inspire me every time.
“So I wrote Liverpool Sunset. Later it got changed to Waterloo Sunset, but there’s still that play on words with Waterloo.
“London was home, I’d grown up there, but I like to think I could be an adopted Scouser.(利物浦人) My heart is definitely there.”
