[音樂推薦] Live 臨場感樂團 - Throwing Copper(1994), The Distance to Here(1999)

The Distance to Here 1999 (1.2 million units sold)

第一次聽到這張專輯時，我正在念高中，那是好久遠的回憶了！

還記得當時喵到班上一個不太受歡迎的同學手中，有張封面超有東方味道的CD

厚臉皮借來聽之後，完全被主唱嗓音和特別的吉他Tone征服，於是趁著隔天補習的空檔，就衝去大眾敗家了！

這張專輯在當時不但叫好又叫座，並為他們創下了很好的銷售成績！裡面幾首歌曲更是大hit

例如 "Dolphin's Cry" 以及 "Run To The Water" 都是很精彩的作品

但我更愛專輯中的最後一首歌曲，簡簡單單的 "Dance With You"，上面的影片是現場版本

好幾次在夜裡一個人聽這首歌，主唱 Ed Kowalcyzk的嗓音真的讓我快落淚！



隨後，我開始追逐Live的腳步，回頭挖他們的舊專輯，下面這張：

Throwing Copper 1994 (8 million copies sold) 

幾乎可以說是他們的最高傑作了，銷售八百萬張的冠軍專輯，裡面一首描寫他們出身的賓州約克市小鎮的歌曲

"Shit Towne" 是我超愛的一首勁曲，曲末主唱的吉他solo真的很精彩，但令人有意猶未盡的遺憾....

另外 "Lightning Crashes" 更是蟬聯十週冠軍的推薦曲，大家可以欣賞一下

Live - Lightning Crashes (2000-05-21 - #6)





 



Dance with you



Sittin' on the beach

The island king of love

Deep in fijian seas

Deep in some blissful dream

Where the godess finally sleeps

In the lap of her lover

Subdued in all her rage

And I am aglow with the taste of the demons driven out

And happily replaced with the presence of real love

The only one who saves



I wanna dance with you

I see a world where people live and die with grace

The karmic ocean dried up and leave no trace

I wanna dance with you

I see a sky full of the stars that change our minds

The stilness in your eyes

Convinces me that I

I don't know a thing

And I've been around the world and I've tasted all the wines

A half a billion times came sickness to our shores

You show me what this life is for



I wanna dance with you

I see a world where people live and die with grace

The karmic ocean dried up and leave no trace

I wanna dance with you

I see a sky full of the stars that change our minds

And lead us back to a world we would not face

In this altered state

Full of so much pain and rage

You know we got to find a way to let it go



Sittin' on the beach

The island king of love

Deep in fijian seas

Deep in the heart of it all where the godess finally sleeps

After eons of war and lifetimes

She smilin' and free, nothin' left

But a cracking voice and a song, oh lord

I wanna dance with you

I see a world where people live and die with grace

The karmic ocean dried up and leave no trace

I wanna dance with you

I see a sky full of the stars that change our minds

And lead us back to a world we would not face

We would not face

We would not face

We would not face

We would not face

We would not face





Shit Towne



the weavers live up the street from me

the crackheads, they live down the street from me

the tall grass makes it hard to see

beyond my property

hey man, this is criminal,

this hard line symmetry

of people and pets



we don't bother anyone

we keep to ourselves

the mailman visits each of us in turn



we don't bother anyone

we keep to ourselves

the mailman visits each of us in time



gotta live, gotta live, gotta live

in shit towne

gotta live, gotta live, gotta live

in our town.
