Albarn 音樂事件簿 之Gorillaz ( 四 )

在全英音樂獎上的"嘉賓表演"則是Gorillaz 一舉成名的代表作!


一個虛擬團體竟在代表該國的音樂盛會上Live演出,
確實是為人津津樂道的一項創舉..






當然,此舉同時也讓Gorillaz 從單純的卡通漫畫,
晉身與視覺藝術多媒體的結合,開始一連串令人拍案的不可能任務~



作者們十分用心的設想了與一般卡通漫畫不同的地方,
比方說

小麵(Noodle)會慢慢長大,
魔頭(Murdoc)有時會爆走,
洛胖(Russel)經常會發夢,
阿D(2D)常常被說 瘦的不像話..

還有,他們也會隨著劇情而慢慢長大與改變,
這跟一般的卡通人物是很不相同的...



Gorillaz 獲得了空前的成功,
於是他們的第二張DVD也順應而生。

當然,除了影像,另一重要元素,
音樂原聲帶也如火如荼的推出了..

Gorillza的第二張專輯[Damon Days]不僅火爆豋場,
接下來的Live 巡演,才是真正即將來臨的重頭戲..



Gorillaz -
Fire Coming Out Of The Monkeys Head(live version)



Once upon a time at the foot of a great mountain,
there was a town where the people known as Happyfolk lived,
their very existence a mystery to the rest of the world,
obscured as it was by shit clouds.
Here they played out their peaceful lives,
innocent of the litany of excess and violence that was growing in the world below.
To live in harmony with the spirit of the mountain called Monkey was enough.
Then one day Strangefolk arrived in the town.
They came in camouflage, hidden behind dark glasses
, but no one noticed them: they only saw shadows. You see,
without the Truth of the Eyes, the Happyfolk were blind.


Falling out of aeroplanes and hiding out in holes
Waiting for the sunset to come, people going home
Jump back from behind them and shoot them in the head
Now everybody dancing the dance of the dead,
the dance of the dead
the dance of the dead,

In time, Strangefolk found their way into the high reaches of the mountain,
and it was there that they found the caves of unimaginable Sincerity
and Beauty. By chance, they stumbled upon the Place Where All Good Souls Come to Rest.
The Strangefolk, they coveted the jewels in these caves above all things,
and soon they began to mine the mountain,
its rich seam fueling the chaos of their own world.
Meanwhile, down in the town, the Happyfolk slept restlessly,
their dreams invaded by shadowy figures digging away at their souls.
Every day, people would wake and stare at the mountain.
Why was it bringing darkness into their lives?
And as the Strangefolk mined deeper and deeper into the mountain,
holes began to appear,
bringing with them a cold and bitter wind that chilled the very soul of them up.
For the first time,
the Happyfolk felt fearful for they knew that soon the Monkey would soon stir from its deep sleep.
And then came a sound. Distant first,
it grew into castrophany so immense it could be heard far away in space.
There were no screams.
There was no time.
The mountain called Monkey had spoken.
There was only fire.
And then, nothing.

O little town in U.S.A, your time has come to see
There's nothing you believe you want
But where were you when it all came down on me?
Did you call me now?



Gorillaz-Feel Good(Live!)


Hahahahahahahahaha,
Sh-pah sh-pa, sh-pa, Feel good, [x9]


City's breaking down on a camel's back.
They just have to go 'cause they don't know wack
So all you fill the streets it's appealing to see
You wont get out the county, 'cos you're damn as free
You've got a new horizon It's ephemeral style.
A melancholy town where we never smile.
And all I wanna hear is the message beep.
My dreams, they've got to kiss, because I don't get sleep, no..

Windmill, Windmill for the land.
Turn forever hand in hand
Take it all in on your stride
It is sinking, falling down
Love forever love is free
Let's turn forever you and me
Windmill, windmill for the land
Is everybody in?

Laughing gas these hazmats, fast cats,
Lining them up-a like ass cracks,
Lay these ponies at the track
Its my chocolate attack.
Shit, I'm stepping in the heart of this here
Care bear bumping in the heart of this here
Watch me as I gravitate
Hahahahahahaa.
Yo, we gonna go ghost town,
This motown,
With yo sound
You're in the place
You gonna bite the dust
Can't fight with us
With yo sound
You kill the INC.
So don't stop, get it, get it
Until you're Jet Ahead.
Yo, watch the way I navigate
Hahahahahhaa

Feel good, AHHHHahahahah [x4]

Windmill, Windmill for the land.
Turn forever hand in hand
Take it all in on your stride
It is ticking, falling down
Love forever love is free
Let's turn forever you and me
Windmill, windmill for the land
Is everybody in?

Don't shout, get it, get it
We are your captains in it
Steady,
Watch me navigate,
Ahahahahahhaa.
Don't shout, get it, get it
We are your captains in it
Steady, watch me navigate
Ahahahahahhaa.
