腰腿第一、文體第二。

雖然已經出來一陣子（半年多有了吧，時光飛逝啊），不過是本人近期最喜愛的歌曲。


The Dodos, "Winter"

不曉得各位發現了沒，我對某些音樂元素毫無招架之力：明確的節奏和管樂 --> 我以前怎麼會沒去參加學校管樂隊？

Don't know if I'll make it through this winter without you by my side
I waited for you so long while I traveled far and wide
Convinced myself there's no one better, so how can I deny
Your love, it's like a thorn into my side

My friends they understand me better but don't whisper goodnight
I want a lover and a sister, but we know that's not right
You used to listen to my music, I always wondered why
I wish I could pretend you make me try

I want the days to come, I want these sleepless nights to end
I lie here thinking how I lost you to all your stupid friends
You made me feel so foolish for the twenty-second time
Your love might be the last time that I try

Don't know if I'll make it through this winter without you on my own
I waited here for you forever, I can't believe you'd go
I may not have the answers, but I'd rather never know
Your love was such a heavy, heavy blow

Goodnight my love, you seemed so nice 'til I knew you better
Now I can tell you're always thinking twice about what might be better
On the outside, there's no conscience, you're a victim of your cautiousness
You don't try, you just lie there hoping that someone will come to make it right

我喜歡的歌似乎還有另外一個特質，是不是應該叫做 stimulating 或是 arousing 呢？不能說是振奮人心，而是能激起你內心的某些情緒。

比方說這首"Winter"，The Dodos 比一般樂團突顯的節奏組表現固然一把揪住你的心臟，當場讓你的脈搏加速，但曲調卻出奇地令人低迴感傷。

我想是咖啡喝多了吧。


The Dodos, "It's That Time Again/Paint The Rust"

這兩首 "It's That Time Again" 和 "Paint The Rust" 在專輯裡接續上一首 "Winter"，也是本人鍾愛的歌曲。

假如這兩段影片讓你對 The Dodos 興起那麼一點好奇或好感，請支持他們吧。不要讓 Dodos 絕種了 -- 冷……好冷。


The Dodos, Visiter

對了，沒錯，我書還沒翻完。繼續耍賴中。
