我的音樂筆記 ( 3 ) Lo-Fi














90年代 Lo-Fi 代表團體 : Smog, Pavement,Neutral Milk Hotel, Guided By Voice...


Smog -
I Feel Like The Mother Of The World



Whether or not there is any type of god
I’m not supposed to say
And today
I don’t really care

God is a word
And the argument ends there

Oh do I feel like the mother of the world
With two children
Oh do I feel like the mother of the world
With two children fighting

When I was a boy I used to get into it bad
With my sister
And when the time came to face the truth
There’d only be tears and sides
Tears and sides
And my mother my poor mother
Would say it does not matter
It does not matter
Just stop fighting

Oh do I feel like the mother of the world
With two children



Pavement - Range Life



After the glow, the scene, the stage,
The sad talk becomes slow but there's one thing I'll never forget:
Hey, you gotta pay your dues before you pay the rent
Over the turnstiles and out in the traffic
There's ways of livin' its the way I'm livin' right or wrong
Its all that I can do and I wouldn't wanna let you be

I wanna range life
If I could settle down
If I could settle down
Than I would settle down

I wanna range life
If I could settle down
If I could settle down
than I would settle down

Run from the pigs, the fuzz, the cops, the heat
Pass me your gloves
This crime, it is never complete
Until you snort it up or shoot it down
You're never gonna feel free
Out on my skateboard the night is just humming
And the gumsmacks are the pulse I'll follow
If my walkman fades
Well I got absolutely no one
No one but myself to blame
Don't worry, we're in no hurry
Schools out
What did you expect?

I wanna range life
If I could settle down
If I could settle down
Than I would settle down

I wanna range life
If I could settle down
If I could setle down
Than I would settle down

Out on tour with smashing pumpkins
Nature kids
I-- they don't have no function I dont understand a word they say
And I could really give a fuck
Stone Temple Pilots they're elegant bachelors
They're foxy to me, are they foxy to you?
I will agree they deserve absolutely nothin', nothin' more than me
Dreamin' dream dream dream dream...

...So Alive



Smog - Feather by Feather



You spent half of the morning
Just trying to wake up
Half the evening
Just trying to calm down
And you live for
The same things
A cloudburst seems rarer every time

And it's crow vs. crow
A brawl in mid-air
Beak click on beak clack
No reason is there
But for the brawl in mid-air

If you're losing your wings
Feather by feather
Love the way they whip away
On the wind

When they make the movie of your life
They're going to have to ask you
To do your own stunts
Because nobody nobody nobody
Could pull off the same shit as you
And still come out alright

If you're losing your wings
Feather by feather
Love the way they whip away
On the wind

It's Ali vs. Clay
Both pummeling away
A champ always fights themself

And you are a fighter
You are a fighter
You are a fighter

And Kids got heart
Kids got heart
Kids got heart

If you're losing your wings
Feather by feather

  1. 我喜歡這種稱為「低傳真」的音樂製作,感覺很單純,一種單純玩音樂的態度。至於商業包裝、經過硬體修飾的音樂訴求點不同,想傳達的訊息也不一樣,畢竟對著朋友唱歌和對著觀眾唱歌,歌手的心態和表現就會不一樣。

  2. Lo-Fi 算是一種音樂製作路線。
    想創作的人總是在未出名前都會用簡易的方式錄下自己的作品,(有的甚至把自己的成品錄製好之後就直接到街上販賣起來)所以低傳真的錄音方式也是很多創作者的必經過程。

    幾年前Lo-Fi其實在美國也造成一股不小的風潮,甚至在商業排行上也有過不錯的成績,之所以受到消費者的喜愛,或許是物極必反的原理吧! 當科技發達到某種階段時,大家大概又會開始懷念以前純樸的種種記憶吧!

  3. 好好奇這些筆記怎麼來的,是在上課或是自己看到資料就抄下來嗎?現在這時代不用電腦紀錄改用手抄也很lo-fi唷。

    錄音手法樂曲結構不囉唆硬上,唱得多歪玩得多亂誰管他。低傳真「直接」的精神真是很迷人啊...。

    題外話:可以把連結多加上Neutral Milk Hotel嗎哈哈哈!

  4. 我一直很喜歡手抄本呀。使用電腦時間長了,反而喜歡拿起筆來在本子上塗塗寫寫。而且,我發現用筆寫字靈感反而比較多,LO-FI精神果然適用於各種層面,真棒!

    Neutral Milk Hotel不是歸你管轄?唉呀,何況你已紀錄如此詳盡,我只要坐想其成就行了。XD
