愛上推音樂。
我聽歌並沒有特定喜歡的團或歌手,
只有個別喜歡的歌。
談起"一種堅強又聖潔的感覺",
我想起 Sleepthief 那首 Eurydice:
Eurydice歌詞的背景是一個希臘神話故事,
太陽神之子、最優秀的樂師 Orpheus 跑到冥府
營救被毒蛇咬死的妻子 Eurydice:
Touch my heart
Her beauty sways the gods
A gift of loving days
I've lost you my lovely
To the depths of an ocean
My blind faith
You follow me with your hope and devotion
I sing to your freedom
I'm lost to release you
No heaven waits for you my sweet
I'll follow your demise to hell and beyond
I'm given the chance to lead you home
No looking back, no way to know
The light is ahead, we're moving slow
Approaching life, where you will be home
But
I've lost you my lovely
To the depths of an ocean
My blind faith,
I follow you with my hope and devotion
I'll sing for your freedom
I'm lost to release you
No heaven waits for us my sweet
I'll follow your demise to hell and beyond
We will meet again
In life or in death
Touch my heart beats
And beauty sways
My life, a song, a longing day
I found you my lovely
In the depths of an ocean
A story together of hope and devotion
I found you my lovely
In the depths of an ocean
A story forever of hope and devotion
這首的主音 Jody Quine,歌聲細膩完美,
每個音都聽得出功力;
這首歌動聽之餘,MV 也深得我心,
看到從 2:26 開始的回憶,還有些淚意--
雖然結局並非忠於希臘神話。

接著這首同樣堅毅的,
是 Paul Schwartz 作曲、Lisbeth Scott 主唱的
Veni Redemptor Gentium中段和後段無歌詞的吟唱,
尤其有種無拘無束的淳樸感。
我最初聽的時候,真沒想到這首的歌詞內容居然是聖詩,
而歌名本身就是《來臨吧,地上的救主》的意思......
英雄莫問出處 (笑)
那種自由奔放而帶點野性的美,
要是能忘卻歌詞、隨心去聽,
反而更加明顯。
