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.”
