![]() 最近聽到了一首歌,由美國歌手 Akon 所演唱的 Lonely,收錄在他的專輯 Trouble。 第一次聽到的時候,是被一段經過 Loop 處理的顫音所吸引,覺得挺有趣,有點像是八十年代當紅的電子舞曲。繼續聽下去,又有了不同的發現,原來歌手是一位黑人(黑人的嗓音實在很好認),歌曲的風格近似 Hip-Hop,又帶著些 R&B 的味道。 仔細聽這首歌的內容,是敘述一位傷心的男子,心中非常後悔。(原文歌詞放在最下方,不過充滿了黑人俚語與短字)。大意是,我覺得非常孤單,因為妳不在身邊,妳離開後我才發現不能沒有妳。以往沒有好好珍惜妳,讓妳傷心,我很抱歉,妳實在是個好女孩,我再也難以找到比妳更好的女人了,請妳回來,讓我們重修舊好。 總之,歌詞內容是挺芭樂的。但經由 Akon 的騷靈嗓音唱出來,感覺就不一樣了。只覺得這男子悲傷地好放肆,不顧一切希望前女友回到他身邊,大聲唱出他的孤單,大聲喊出他的寂寞,讓有心人聽了也不禁心有戚戚焉。(我承認,有心人就是我啦!)不過,似乎又能在這首歌裡得到一些救贖,「啊,原來孤單的人不只我一個!」「啊,我好像沒他這麼慘,可憐!」於是,這些同病相憐的孤單人士,似乎又不再這麼自怨自艾。(因為我沒有他這種勇氣,呵!) 這首歌翻唱於 1964 年 Bobby Vinton 的一首老歌「Mr. Lonely」。重新編曲後,加上一段不難懂的 Rap,以及抒情的旋律,馬上讓這首老歌脫胎換骨,從悲傷的鄉村歌曲,搖身一變成為寂寞的節奏藍調。 Trouble 這張專輯是在去年發行的,其實剛開始並沒有取得多大的迴響,只是不斷地在一些小眾之間流轉。但是,真金不怕火煉,終於,在今年五月,搶下了美國及英國流行音樂排行榜的冠軍寶座,真是屬於慢熱型的一張專輯。紐約時報稱他為「賽內加爾的驚喜」,據說,這位有想法的「寂寞先生」曾表示,日後他將帶著美國經驗(包括坐牢),回賽內加爾競選總統呢! 歌手 Akon 出生於賽內加爾,七歲時隨家人移民紐約。運動神經發達的他,靠著籃球獎學金進入大學,準備成為一位職業球員,卻不幸在一次意外中摔斷了膝蓋,職業球員的美夢破碎。他從此流連街頭,雖然因此愛上了 Hip-Hop 音樂,卻也因為偷車而鋃鐺入獄。在獄中的三年,他洗心革面,將全副心力放在音樂上,用音樂記錄他的生活,出獄後隨即製作了這張專輯,所有詞曲創作及編曲,皆由他一手包辦。終於,他再次找到了自己的美國夢。 這首歌的 MTV 其實也挺有意思的,剛開始是如雷的掌聲,轉過頭去卻只剩下空蕩蕩的大廳,真是太 Lonely 了! 孤單的朋友們,讓我們跟著「寂寞先生」的孤單嘶喊,走出難耐的寂寞吧! So Lonely! |
