My Indie record labels ~ 4AD (一)

Indie record labels (獨立唱片公司)一直以來就是前衛音樂的搖籃。


說起 Indie record labels 對我的影響，遠比任何主流唱片都來的重要。

換句話說，獨立唱片圈的音樂一直是我生命中最重要的音樂氧氣。
很誇張嗎？其實一點也不，因為從以前到現在

一直感動我的，是這些音樂。 一直影響我的，是這些音樂。
一直溫暖我的，是這些音樂。 一直牽引我的，還是這些音樂。



非主流唱片公司的音樂對我的影響我的確很大、很深，
我很愛非主流音樂，衷心的～


倒是前陣子聽朋友說，現在 Indie Rock 已經成了偽文青的最愛，
這論點真的令我有些吃驚～

因為，當我還是青少年的那段日子，
Independent Rock 一直是
叛逆的、翹家的、反動的、孤寂的、善感的，甚至是存在主義者的避難所～

所以，我不知道原來這些另類的音樂也已經變成了一種時代的潮流，時尚的代名詞？或者，這也和以前學生時代去看影展電影是一樣的意思，的確有很多人花錢買了電影票卻經常在戲院睡大覺，cc..(浪費)

所幸，我ㄧ直是個十分忠於自己感覺的人,，從來就偽裝不來自己內心的感受，而且也只會為了感動而感動。。


由於我實在是個很懶散的人，所以雖然腦中一直有個想法，希望能將自己以前喜愛的一些獨立唱片公司旗下的artists做個整理。但是想到要花費好多時間，潛意識裡馬上打了退堂鼓。。（畢竟本人也相當忙碌的，好嗎？）

不過我還是很想趁著整理這些資料的同時，順便回憶一下學生時期喜愛的音樂。
這些音樂，就算在2008年的今天聽來依舊十分的前衛而迷人～～


那就從我非常喜愛的Indie record《4AD》開始吧！





說起《4AD》，那就不得不提到《Cocteau Twins》，
他們可說是《4AD》中頗具代表的三人組合。。。


Cocteau twins- Carolyn's fingers



When he said, 'you are full of love'
She fell down into this dirty mess
Some people see me laugh and tell us,
'it's wrong to make fun of me'

(even they don't give any more)
(try, try to fall)
She fell down into this mess
(even then they don't give)
(try, try to fall)
She fell down and he's so sick of it all
And of me

This part not out of her saw fit to drop
Whispers might prove it all
(you're just closer to me when you fall, but you broke)
This would prove it all
(you just closer to me, but you broke)
This would prove it all
Sleep now
You susur, try to talk
Reach out for that hand

Reach out for that hand
(and even they don't give any more)
(try, try to fall)
Even then they don't give
(try, try to fall)
You just closer to me at the fall
But you don't want, want me hand
You're just closer to me
But you don't want, want my hand



Cocteau Twins- Iceblink Luck

(其實真正影響王菲甚深的是此團主唱 Elizabeth Fraser)


I'm seemin' to be glad a lot
I'm happy again, come, come in time
This mustn't hurt or harm yourself
Well, me, I give in to your arms

You're the match of Jerico
That will burn this old madhouse down
And I'll throw open like a walnut (blown up?) safe
More like a love that's a bottle of exquisite stuff, yes

You, yourself, and your father
Don't know him, so part in your own ways
You've really both bone setters
Thank you for mending me babies

You're the match of Jerico
That will burn this old madhouse down
And I'll throw open like a walnut safe
You will seem that being throughout
That same bottle of exquisite stuff
Yes, you are that match of Jerico
That will burn this old madhouse down
And I'll throw open like the walnut safe

You, yourself, and your father
Don't know him, so part in your own ways
You're really both bone setters
Thank you for mending me babies



Cocteau Twins - Alice



When I lost him ache
Shudder shock of pale
My, my true love
Nicolo(whatever his last name was, sounds like eperdu?)these days are
smoking days
Though he won't see
(Deceived me)You deceive me
(With you)Erase it I will not
(to stay)Touching a helix(didn't she know alex?)
(I I will plead)Blotting an excuse you
(alice, alice, alice, alice, alice)
would share,
(alice, alice, alice, alice, alice)
who shall
(alice, alice, alice, alice, alice)
replace
(alice, alice, alice, alice, alice)
You

When I lost him ache
Shudder shock of pale
My, my true love
Nicolo(?) This mess I smoke away
And he won't see
(pushing me)Oops she fell
(with you)Racin her bike
(so you)touching her lies
(not me)
