从此爱上了他的音乐，说他是上帝的声音毫不夸张。慵懒而又平静，WILCO用他的音乐讲述他的故事，讲述YANKEE的故事，芝加哥与美国的故事。曲调是如此的琅琅上口，似乎跟一个另类摇滚乐队完全打不上边，只有仔细听他的编曲，鼓声，还有乐器的使用你才分别的出来，WILCO有太多跟别人不一样的东西，任何一种乐器你都有可能听到，从定音的钢琴到滑音的玄乐，甚至某些非洲的木质乐器都可以拿来打节奏，WILCO的歌曲结尾一般都很有意思，尤其是i am trying to break your heart这一首，结尾的部分也似乎带有芝加哥这个美国犯罪率最高的城市之一那种喧嚣，杂乱的感觉，所有乐器没有了音律，全都是胡乱弹奏出来的，在一片吵闹当中你又似乎可以寻到某种和谐，最后刺耳的啸叫结束了整收歌曲，称得上真的是另类到家了，难怪这张唱片被评为20世界最佳唱片前50位。
其他每一首歌都很出色，还有我个人很喜欢的一首叫做a Magazine Called Sunset是收录在其他专辑当中的，短小精悍但是也是编曲非常出色。另类小调的风格，说得上是一张在商业上获得空前成功的非主流音乐。
很久不听了，今天无意中拿出来回味下，觉得好音乐任何时候都有他存在的价值。
PS,这张专辑也是我唯一收藏的一张黑胶

I am an American aquarium drinker
I assassin down the avenue
I'm hiding out in the big city blinking
What was I thinking when I let go of you?
Let's forget about the tongue-tied lightning
Let's undress just like cross-eyed strangers
This is not a joke, so please stop smiling
What was I thinking when I said it didn't hurt?
I want to glide through those brown eyes dreaming
Take it from the inside, baby hold on tight
You were so right when you said that I've been drinking
What was I thinking when I said good night?
I want to hold you in the Bible-black predawn
You're quite a quiet domino, bury me now
Take off your Band-Aid because I don't believe in touchdowns
What was I thinking when I said hello?
I'd always thought that if I held you tightly
You'd always love me like you did back then
Then I fell asleep and the city kept blinking
What was I thinking when I let you back in?
I am trying to break your heart
I am trying to break your heart
But still I'd be lying if I said it wasn't easy
I am trying to break your heart
Disposable Dixie-cup drinking
I assassin down the avenue
I'm hiding out in the big city blinking
What was I thinking when I let go of you?
loves you
I'm the man who loves you 恩 的确另类 一点乡村,一点软摇滚,一点爵士
后半段很特别, 很有空间感, 象一部电影剧终时的背景乐. 恩 的确另类 一点乡村,一点软摇滚,一点爵士

是啊, 听多了电台和MTV里的那些DJ不动脑筋放的千篇一律的歌, 再听这些 感觉特别清新{:5_380:} 本帖最后由 蓝枕头 于 2010-12-21 09:41 编辑

In a little while from now,
If I'm not feeling any less sour
I promised myself to treat myself
And visit a nearby tower,
And climbing to the top,
Will throw myself off
In an effort to make it clear to who
Ever what it's like when your shattered
Left standing in the lurch, at a church
Where people 're saying,
"My God that's tough, she stood him up!
No point in us remaining.
May as well go home."
As I did on my own,
Alone again, naturally
To think that only yesterday,
I was cheerful, bright and gay,
Looking forward to, but who wouldn't do,
The role I was about to play
But as if to knock me down,
Reality came around
And without so much as a mere touch,
Cut me into little pieces
Leaving me to doubt,
All about God and His mercy
For if He really does exist
Why did He desert me
In my hour of need?
I truly am indeed,
Alone again, naturally
It seems to me that
There are more hearts
Broken in the world
That can't be mended
Left unattended
What do we do? What do we do?
(instrumental break)
Now looking back over the years,
And what ever else that appears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to have cried the tears
And at sixty-five years old,
My mother, God rest her soul,
Couldn't understand, why the only man
She had ever loved had been taken
Leaving her to start with a heart
So badly broken
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever spoken
And when she passed away
I cried and cried all day
Alone again, naturally
Alone again, naturally 想了很久，不知道应该先介绍White Stripes呢还是the verve,那就一起吧
都是主流，一个英国，一个美国，都是我大学时代听的很多的音乐，明显的区别就是，the verve有着古典的底蕴，贵族的气质，而白条纹则有着AMI那种free的精神，都经典，所以才要放在一起比较介绍2首比较经典的

The White Stripes-7 Nations Army
http://www.youtube.com/v/6j7huh5Egew
I'm Gonna fight 'em Off
A Seven Nation Army couldn't hold me back
They're Gonna Rip it off
Taking there Time right behind my back
-
And I'm Talkin' to myself at night
because I can't forget
Back and forth through my mind
behind a cigarette
And the message coming from my eye
says leave it alone
-------
Don't want to hear about it
Every single one's got a story to tell
Everyone Knows about it
From the Queen of England To the Hounds of Hell
-
And if I catch ya commin back my way
I'm gonna Sell it to you
And that ain't what you want to hear
but that's what I'll do
-
And the feelin' commin from my bones
says find a home
-------
I'm goin' to Witchita
Far from this opera for evermore
I'm gonna work the straw
Make the sweat drip out of every pore
-
And I'm Bleedin, and I'm Bleeding, and I'm Bleedin,
Right before the Lord
All the words are gonna bleed from me
and I will sing no more
-
And the stings commin from my blood
tell me go back home
