Air - Cherry Blossom Girl
法国双人电子团体Air于2004年发表的绝妙佳作《Talkie Walkie》中Cherry Blossom Girl应是最惹人注目的作品。木吉他漂亮的分解、梦幻般的男女声吟唱、层层迭至的键盘背景与管乐,在机械的节奏里编织着一个给人无限遐想的幻境。我在《音乐周刊》写推荐唱片的时候是引用的一段MSN对话,正象当时我说的,这张唱片的美真的难以用语言去形容。但如果谈到Air的音乐,我一直觉得Air在音乐上真正承袭的是Pink Floyd,只是他们用更先进的技术、更新颖的手段将Pink Floyd开创的音乐发展开来,有时候会想,如果由Air操刀Remix一批Pink Floyd的作品会是什么样子?Air有着他们自己独特的和声走向,和大胆却恰到好处的创作思维,即便是以电子团体出现,但仍旧听得到浓浓的人性味道。一直都喜欢木吉他在电音作品里的作用,Cherry Blossom Girl则是最好的范例之一
歌词:
I don't want to be shy
Can't stand it anymore
I just want to say 'Hi'
To the one I love
Cherry blossom girl
I feel sick all day long
From not being with you
I just want to go out
Ever night for a while
Cherry blossom girl
Tell me why can't it be true
I never talk to you
People say that I should
I can pray everyday
For the moment to come
Cherry blossom girl
I just want to be sure
When I will come to you
When the time will be gone
You will be by my side
Cherry Blossom Girl
Tell me why can't it be true
Cherry Blossom Girl
I'll never love again
Can I say that to you
Will you run away
If I try to be true
Cherry blossom girl
Cherry blossom girl
I'll always be there for you
That means no time to waste
Whenever there's a chance
Cherry blossom girl
Tell me why can't it be true
