振翅欲飛的靈魂 ( 三 )

New Order 成立之初,
很多樂迷曾經認為 Bernard Sumner 根本無法取代 Ian Curtis ,
而且一開始 Joy Division 的死忠樂迷並不願接受失去了 Curtis 的新樂團。

不過,後來事實證明 Sumner 並不需要取代 Curtis,
他們之間,沒有誰取代誰的問題。

即便他們的音樂走向是這麼的不同,
但是兩者給人的感動卻是一樣那麼深刻而真摯。



其實嚴格說來,
Bernard Sumner 的嗓音一點都不完美，
尤其唱Live 時更常常唱破音,唱走音或忽然降key..

But, Who Cares?
大家還不是被他真摯的聲音和真切的態度感動的要命!


每當聽見他們用最真誠的聲音唱著每一熟悉的字句,
看見他們用最堅毅的態度,演繹每一場Live的演出,
也用著最認真的神情,訴說每一個動人故事..

誰能不動容?


"New Order" 給我的感受一直是他們對音樂的那份堅持,
他們就是用這麼真誠的心,創造了無數膾炙人口的作品。
New Order 不但讓樂迷們真真實實的感受著他們的想法,
也扎扎實實的將自己的音樂帶入人們的生活,
意外的成了一種信仰!


看著這個曾經歷經死亡,挫敗,還面臨解散窘境,
在大家不看好的情況下卻又堅持重組的樂團,
到底是什麼力量支撐著他們走過那層層的低迷?

如果不是本著對音樂近乎瘋狂的熱愛,
應該也不可能在樂壇上屹立超過1/4世紀,而今還能繼續奮力的向前進吧!


寫到這裡我的內心真的充滿感激,
很感謝他們一路走來對音樂的奉獻與創造,
這應該是所有身為他們樂迷的驕傲吧!


New Order - Regret



Maybe I've forgotten the name and the address
Of everyone I've ever known
It's nothing I regret
Save it for another day
It's the school exam and the kids have run away

I would like a place I could call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up every day that would be a start
I would not complain of my wounded heart

I was upset you see
Almost all the time
You used to be a stranger
Now you are mine

I wouldn't even trust you
I've not got much to give
We're dealing in the limits
And we don't know who with
You may think that I'm out of hand
That I'm naive, I'll understand
On this occasion, it's not true
Look at me, I'm not you

I would like a place I could call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up every day that would be a start
I would not complain of my wounded heart

I was a short fuse
Burning all the time
You were a complete stranger
Now you are mine

I would like a place I could call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up every day that would be a start
I would not complain about my wounded heart

Just wait till tomorrow
I guess that's what they all say
Just before they fall apart



New Order - Ceremony
( Finsbury Park 9th June 02)



This is why events unnerve me
They find it all a different story
Notice whom four wheels are turning
Turn again and turn towards this time
All she asks the strength to hold me
Then again the same old story
World will travel oh so quickly
Travel first and towards this time

Oh I'll break them down, no mercy shown
Heaven knows It's got to be this time
Watching her, these things she said,
Times she cried, to frail to wake this time

Oh I'll break them down, no mercy shown
Heaven knows It's got to be this time
Avenues all lined with trees
Picture me and then you start watching
Watching forever, forever
Watching love grow, forever
Letting me know, forever.



New Order - Temptation (Finsbury Park)



Heaven, a gateway, a hope
Just like a feeling inside, it's no joke
And though it hurts me to treat you this way
Betrayed by words, I'd never heard, too hard to say
Up, down, turn around
Please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I'll walk alone
I'll find my soul as I go home.

Each way I turn, I know I'll always try
To break this circle that's been placed around me
From time to time, I find I've lost some need
That was urgent to myself, I do believe
Up, down, turn around
Please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I'll walk alone
I'll find my soul as I go home.

Oh, you've got green eyes
Oh, you've got blue eyes
Oh, you've got gray eyes
Oh, you've got green eyes
Oh, you've got blue eyes
Oh, you've got gray eyes
And I've never seen anyone quite like you before
No, I've never met anyone quite like you before
Thoughts from above hit the people down below
People in this world, we have no place to go
Oh, it's the last time
Oh, I've never met anyone quite like you before



New Order Love Vigilantes(Live)
(天團也會突槌的, 我就愛Live即興演出,就是這樣才顯得有人味.. )


Oh Ive just come
From the land of the sun
From a war that must be won
In the name of truth
With our soldiers so brave
Your freedom we will save
With our rifles and grenades
And some help from god
I want to see my family
My wife and child waiting for me
Ive got to go home
Ive been so alone, you see

You just cant believe
The joy I did recieve
When I finally got my leave
And I was going home
Oh I flew through the sky
My convictions could not lie
For my country I would die
And I will see it soon
I want to see my family
My wife and child waiting for me
Ive got to go home
Ive been so alone, you see

When I walked through the door
My wife she lay upon the floor
And with tears her eyes were sore
I did not know why
Then I looked into her hand
And I saw the telegram
That said that I was a brave, brave man
But that I was dead
I want to see my family
My wife and child waiting for me
Ive got to go home
Ive been so alone, you see
