大姨是裁缝,手很巧。经常会照着上海来的图片给我们姐妹做衣服。于是我们两个打扮得像上海的时髦小女孩,拖着手走过田间,下巴抬得高高,表情很是骄傲。别的小孩都愣愣地望着我们,不敢来跟我们说话,神情满是向往羡慕。
我从小就一副没心没肺的样子,野得很。姐姐却长得斯文精致,像个大户人家的小姐。他们都打趣说,一个是王熙凤,一个是林黛玉。但其实姐姐只是外表如此,淘气的程度一点不输给我。用现在的话来比喻,就叫做“腹黑”。
那时候在热播《蜀山奇侠》。我们就迷恋上了神丹啊仙水啊。时常吞下一颗糖丸,就希望自己内力大增。我们在后山摘了许多奇奇怪怪的花草,一股脑地加到六神花露水里,曰之,“xxxx神水”(xxxx已经想不起来了)。但到底知道这东西不靠谱,自己是不敢用的。于是便唤来比我小两岁的表弟,“孙平来,姐姐给你抹神水,抹了神水就能飞飞哦”。 那时候表弟真是可爱,白成一团,傻呵呵地笑着,玉一样的。踉踉跄跄地就跑过来了。变成如今这副德行,不知道跟我们童年的“生化试验”有没有关系,想想有点心虚…..

本来不想说这个专辑了,实在太红了,不过那天仔细看了看歌词,又觉得实在好得一塌糊涂。
coldplay 这张专辑的名字来自一位墨西哥艺术家Frida Kahlo的一幅画,意思是生命万岁~封面就是那幅著名的“自由引导人民”了。第一次推荐给巩叔叔听的时候,他就说怎么那么有圣战的感觉。后来发现歌词里果然很多跟圣经有着千丝万缕的关系。
先贴下歌词:
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep 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 salt and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can’t explain
Once you'd gone there was never
Never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world
It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn’t believe what I’d become
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can’t explain
I know Saint Peter won’t call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can’t explain
I know Saint Peter won’t call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh
首先“自由引导人民”这副画的背景是法国大革命,而歌词的确描述了路易十六的经历:一个受他人操纵的国王傀儡,被自己所统治的人民送上断头台,最终连他自己都不相信能进天堂。当然还有很多人说这首歌还通过路易十六而影射了更多的政权,比如布什政府。。(我真没看出来。。)
歌词与圣经的联系:
"Be my mirror my sword and shield"
Ephesians 6:16 ... take the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the sword of God
"And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand"
Matthew 8:26 And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not act on them will be like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27 The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell...
不愧是coldplay.我想好的文章好的音乐好的画都是共通的,它们必须是耐人寻味的。每次欣赏都能不断发现新的东西。而它们又必须是有余地的,用于填充观赏者自己的理解。所以才会有这么多人热爱coldplay。热爱,而不是简单的喜欢。
coldplay的曲风转变好大啊。不过真是一次令人耳目一新的蜕变,旋律相当富有朝气,里面的小提琴伴奏让人十分激动。YOUTUBE上有几个不同的版本,都各有特色。非常喜欢他们在筹备过程中说的一句话:好的乐队永远不会为钱而分裂,他们只会为歌单而争执。好的艺术家需要一种清高,而这种清高其实是需要物质的维持才能够长久的,很矛盾也很无奈的事实。还好coldplay红了,还好。
虽然连Chris Martin自己也承认歌词的宗教意义,但我真正喜欢的却是普普通通的那句:
Once you'd gone there was never
Never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world
viva la vida

once you'd gone there was never,
never an honest word
that was when i ruled the world
难怪小z会说,coldplay forever~
