破繭 ( 二 )

最近我常常思考一個問題,
一般大眾到底用什麼標準來定位所謂的音樂人?
一張製作嚴謹創作滿分的好專輯,
但卻不具備市場性的創作,我們又如何來定位它?


這幾天一直在線上搜尋著有關"Blur"的相關文章,
結果越看越讓人感到心情沉重...

一個曾經在排行榜上叱吒風雲的樂團,
日後大家對他們的關注,卻只剩下銷售數字?
這是何等殘忍的一件事...

以目前大眾的眼光來看,
似乎完全以專輯賣的好不好,作為音樂成不成功的唯一重要因素!
雖然我對這種市場導向完全不以為然...
但是不可否認的,在一般社會大眾的認知上,
專輯的銷售數字似乎遠比製作物本身的內容好壞還來的重要!

其實,銷量不如從前又怎樣??

另外,樂壇上還有一件任我想破頭也無法理解的現象..
我實在不懂為何一定要拿兩個同期出道,
但是就音樂性質完全不同的樂團來Battle,來比較?
不同的東西是無法放在同一天平去評量的,你們不懂嗎?
人家在音樂上努力的成長,你們看不到嗎?

這年頭大家看到的只有"功利"兩字,
除了功利,人們還看到了什麼?



P.S.長期在音樂圈默默努力的創作者,請加油!!!



Blur - Ernold Same
( The Great Escape )



Ernold same awoke from the same dream
In the same bed
At the same time
Looked in the same mirror
Made the same frown
And felt the same way as he did every day
Then ernold same caught the same train
At the same station
Sat in the same seat
With the same nasty stain
Next to same old what�s-his-name
On his way to the same place
With the same name
To do the same thing
Again and again and again
Poor old ernold same
Oh, ernold same
His world stays the same
Today will always be tomorrow
Poor old ernold same
He�s getting that feeling once again
Nothing will change tomorrow


Blur - Ernold Same(Live)
Ernold Same 果然直接切中要害,命中紅心!


Blur- Coffee & TV( 13 )
超愛這mv!


Do you feel like a chain store?
Practically floored
One of many zeros
Kicked around bored
Your ears are full but your empty
Holding out your heart
To people who never really
Care how you are

So give me Coffee and TV
History
I've seen so much
I'm goin blind
And i'm braindead virtually
Sociability
It's hard enough for me
Take me away from this big bad world
And agree to marry me
So we can start all over again

Do you go to the country
It isn't very far
There's people there who will hurt you
Cos of who you are

Your ears are full of the language
There's wisdom there you're sure
'Til the words start slurring
And you can't find the door

So give me Coffee and TV
History
I've seen so much
I'm goin blind
And i'm braindead virtually
Sociability
It's hard enough for me
Take me away from this big bad world
And agree to marry me
So we can start all over again

So give me Coffee and TV
History
I've seen so much
I'm goin blind
And i'm braindead virtually
Sociability
It's hard enough for me
Take me away from this big bad world
And agree to marry me
So we can start all over again

Oh...we could start over again
Oh...we could start over again
Oh...we could start over again
Oh...we could start over again



Blur - Caravan (Think Tank)



Caravan's lost
In the sun and the dust
No-one loves you
When you are lost
Yeah I'm a clown
Pulling my world down
I believe I was strong
But you are the one
And when it comes, you'll feel the weight of it,
The weight of it
The day will come when you'll get away from it,
Away from it

Sometimes everything is easy
Sometimes everything is easy
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la

I try to quit
But my heart won't buy it
I got family
The caravan comes back for me

And when it comes you'll feel the weight of it,
The weight of it
And the day will come when you'll get away from it
Away from it

Sometimes everything is easy
Sometimes everything is easy
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la (repeat)
