MAX ~我还活着,一个人活着

Creep是不是有牛逼到这种程度嘛，竟然让你们这些大牌们放下矜持翻唱到欲罢不能。什么The Cure，椎木林檎， Maximilian Hecker， Damien Rice。。。拜托，你们是想要演绎多少风格才够啊，后朋，电子，民谣，甚至还有个爵士，就差Hiphop了啦，麻烦那谁，就今年美国MTV典礼上裤子只穿到大腿那个，你把它补上好了（好不容易记住一个唱Hiphop的，只记得人家的内裤装。完全没有要care人家的姓氏。。） 

说到这个是昨天看到一个音乐blog，竟然有人闲得蛋疼要去搜集世界上所有版本的Creep，目前已经有27个了（还不包括他没加的而我听过的一个棒子的版本）！惊！不过我一直觉得把苏打绿的版本放在其中整个有拉低平均分的嫌疑，因为就烂的太直接了这个版本。拜托你吴青峰（是叫这个名字吧？）自己一边去玩你的小清新小颓靡就好了嘛，干嘛在演唱会上唱这种歌，还要耍花腔Orz。。听起来就很wonder那天他演唱会是不是一直在吊威亚，整个最后恐高到快断气的程度。

一直觉得Radiohead就靠这首歌持续的红着。因为算是他们的歌里面比较能唱的歌之一了，而且歌词写的超好，什么I wish I was special, u r so very special. But i'm creep ; I'm a weirdo这类的，就很能够唤起听者心底的自卑人格，然后还有I wanna a perfect body ; I wanna perfect soul这种恨自己不成器然后苦苦单恋那种悲情感。就还蛮可以赚到同情分。

大概这首歌也确实太代表Radiohead了，整个很haunting，以至于今天早上我一醒来就开始哼Creep的旋律Orz。。后来就躺在床上自问自答‘一人一首代表作’, 结果是:周杰伦《菊花台》，蔡依林《Don’t stop》，张惠妹《听海》，王力宏《唯一》，陶喆《普通朋友》，最后竟然一直联想到动力火车。。答案当然是《当》嘛（他们还有什么歌？）。

今年真的是摇滚大牌年也，出专辑的大牌会不会太多了点。比如光我知道的就有The Verve, Oasis, Coldplay, Weezer, Travis, The Killers, REM,  Muse的Live, 甚至Nick Cave大叔和他的坏种子。还有非摇滚也是一堆，比如Bi女喜欢的Cat Power啊，Portishhead什么的。。。整个很热闹并且让你不知道下载哪一个先。但是其中就是没有Radiohead啦，就让他们靠着Creep 继续红下去好了。

补一句，刚刚发现光头Moby今年也发了新砖，而他，不错，也翻唱过Creep。。。看来这篇是逃不脱Creep的阴影了。

 

听过三个版本了。但是这个是最好的。 

什么都不说了。Leonard Cohen就是经典；经典就是Leonard Cohen。

歌词超赞：

Tower of Song 

Well my friends are gone and my hair is grey
I ache in the places where I used to play
And I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming on
I'm just paying my rent every day
Oh in the Tower of Song...

在the Divine Comedy的新专辑Victory for the Comic Muse中听到的。当下震撼到~~

Below the Po rolls slow from Alps to Adriatic Sea
Blow old bellows, blow
Take us where you will
Padua, Genoa, Corsica, Catalonia, O Segovia
O unfathomable firmament.

That we should set a course between the two
Clinging only to our orb of blue and red
Like Romanovs to a Faberge egg
Push Sisyphus, push
Heave our sphere into the heavens.

If I'm to die then let it be in summertime
In a manner of my own choosing
To fall from a great height
On a warm July afternoon
Liverwurst, Battenburg, Emmenthall, Syllabub, Muscadet
Throw it all away
We need more height
O Newton, release this apple from its earthly shackles
And live to fight another day.

Go back from whence you came the swallows cry
You've corrupted and befouled the ground you walk upon
And now you come to poison the skies
Please friends, forgive this brief intrusion.

永远的经典：David Bowie-Ziggy Stardust在那个混乱的年代，摇滚发展如日中天。David Bowie正是其中呼风唤雨的人物。在ziggy Stardust这张专辑中，DB将GlamRock推向极致。通过扮演Ziggy 这个火星人，DB创造了永远被后人膜拜，效仿的一个摇滚角色，他性别不分，外貌夸张，承担起摇滚拯救世界的重任。这个版本是Def Leppard的cover,起到致敬的作用。Def Leppard曾经出现在初中英语课本Look Ahead上,视频最后可以看到那个断臂的...

Make me a deal and make it straight
All signed and sealed I'll take it
To Robert E. Lee I'll show it
I hope and pray he don't blow it 'cause
We've been around a long time just try try tryin' to
Make make the big time...

Take me on a roller coaster
Take me for an airplane ride
Take me for a six days wander but don't you
Don't you throw away my pride aside besides
What's real and make believe
Baby Jane's in Acapulco
We're flyin' down to Rio

Throw me a line I'm sinking fast
Clutching at straws can't make it
Havana sound we're trying hard edge the hipster jiving
Last picture show's down the drive-in
You're so sheer you're so chic
Teenage rebel of the week

Flavors of the mountain streamline
Midnight blue casino floors
Dance the cha-cha through til sunrise
Open up exclusive doors oh wow!
Just like flamingos look the same
So me and you, just we two got to reach for something new

Far beyond the pale horizon
Some place near the desert strand
Where my Studebaker takes me
That's where I'll make my stand but wait
Can't you see that Holzer mane
What's her name Virginia Plain
