拂梅只為忘國憂——談黃耀明【拂了一身還滿】

On 02, Nov 2011 | 2 Comments | In 社評, 音樂 | By admin

聽著明哥的新碟【拂了一身還滿】,憶苦思甜。苦是新碟的國語歌是前所未有的多,十三佔九。眾所周知的是明哥的國語控口怎麼咬,也是奇怪。甜的是他又重回了電音的懷抱。他的祖國不是汕尾以南而是電子音樂。【King of the road】裡都是好的旋律,但欠缺了電編,音樂就跟他的聲音發生不到化學作用。 Read more…

看著譚詠麟,慶幸張國榮早死

On 26, Oct 2011 | 3 Comments | In 社評, 音樂 | By admin

最不幸的是張國榮的早逝。如果他活下去,他是真的成歌仙戲仙的了。但最幸運的也是他的早逝。一個偉大的人死了,他的形象就以死亡的形式成為永恆。有些人死了,是不幸亦是光榮。有些人活著,則又是獻世又是笑話。

張國榮年輕時的死敵譚詠麟就是後者絕佳的例子。若果譚詠麟早死,他就只來得及留下他那些經典流行曲,他對世界貢獻的就只有音樂。但是譚詠麟很長命,活到現在,成了自稱年年廿五歲的倫伯。年輕的譚詠麟為香港貢獻了音樂,而年老的倫伯則為大家獻出了笑話。 Read more…

Ghost from within

On 18, Aug 2011 | No Comments | In 音樂 | By admin

GHOST by Japan
music and lyrics: David Sylvian

When the room is quiet
The daylight almost gone
It seems there’s something I should know
Well, I ought to leave
But the rain it never stops
And I’ve no particular place to go

Just when I think I’m winning
When I’ve broken every door
The ghosts of my life
Blow wilder than before
Just when I thought I could not be stopped
When my chance came to be king
The ghosts of my life
Blew wilder than the wind

Well, I’m feeling nervous
Now I find myself alone
The simple life’s no longer there
Once I was so sure
Now the doubt inside my mind
Comes and goes, but leads nowhere

No need to be hurt anymore

On 08, Aug 2011 | 4 Comments | In 日常, 音樂 | By admin

五六年來都沒有哭過或是流眼淚。純粹是患病以後傾向以冷靜理智來看待自己的困境,幾年下來,成了慣性,也真成了個心冷的人。不過近來我又重新發現X Japan是一隊極為出色的樂隊。這些歌在我的硬碟中亦有五六年,但一直沒有深究。我不知道是因為主唱的聲音頗難入口,還是當時我沒甚麼故事可以讓他們的歌去攪動。 Read more…

We are the champions

On 01, Mar 2011 | 3 Comments | In 日常, 音樂 | By admin

no prof-reading

A song or a single page of a book can totally save your soul. I mean those tiny stuff could amazingly, strangely makes your heart better. In my case, my muse is the song “We Are The Champions” from Queen. It somehow pull me out of the melancholic shadow that have troubled me for a while. Everyone is familiar with this song. Perhaps this song is one of the most famous song in musical history among others like “Imagine” by John Lennon or bunch of songs by David Bowie.

I had a really hard time. I once felt that don’t want to live anymore for the first time. It was totally emotional. I was miserable for everything. Lots of pressures keep torturing me. I can’t sleep well for days, stomach was in bad condition all day long. Living such a life is not easy. Maybe I should admit that I am a pessimistic person. I don’t believe in any idea that could get me in a ordinary good life like Christianity. I work so hard but I in fact don’t get any point of being good except it could make your family happy and get you OK SALARY to become a SLAVERY simultaneously. The more I work hard, the more I feel lost. You can be very happy if you keep doing something you don’t really believe it. The past few months I did nothing but trying hard ignoring the ideas of committing suicide. I don’t want to give up all I have been doing.

Back to the song. Sport games frequently used the song for celebrating, yet, I found that the song is not so optimistic. Indeed the piano opening is strongly sad and solemn.That most recognized chorus blows in your mind which is full of pride. The song for me is not optimistic. It’s a song about strugglers, about people who struggles a lot in the world. The singer were bravely shouting something artistically complex. Strangely I felt sad, warm and released while listening the song. Yes, it was unexplainable like the depression comes for no reason.

陳奕迅+林夕:人間有冤,六月飛霜

On 20, Feb 2011 | 7 Comments | In 音樂 | By admin

六月飛霜 – 陳奕迅

作曲:Kool G@Public Zoo / 舒文@Zoo Music
填詞:林夕
編曲:Kool G@Public Zoo / 舒文@Zoo Music
監製:Kool G@Public Zoo / 舒文@Zoo Music

當 未慣靜默靜得聽到心跳竟加倍緊張
未信自在在於天生天養 難以弱勝強 殺入戰場

最終 習慣為著獵取一身盔甲竟不怕損傷
為了夢幻日子得到保障 用惡夢結賬
烏托邦 販賣血汗變棟樑 [誰被誰越抬越上]
烏托邦 那獵物也是獵人 踏破了樹林
浮在半空寄生貨櫃箱

誰明白這異象
六月飛霜 個個笑得哀傷
誰又會鑑定誰正常 不知替哪個著想
欲求未滿 剩下砒霜 當菜汁分享
猶如吞仙丹上月亮 誰有膽設想這世間下場

當 習慣附和大家講的真理都得到獎賞
未慣十字路口挑選方向 離隊要膽量 拒絕跳牆
一輩子 血汗注入拍賣場 [誰被誰越抬越上]
一輩子 價值像泡沫上揚 誓與天較量
埋下理想栽種幻想

誰明白這異象
六月飛霜 個個笑得哀傷
誰又會鑑定誰正常 不知替哪個著想
欲求未滿 剩下砒霜 當菜汁分享
猶如吞仙丹上月亮 誰有膽設想這世間下場

即使你跟我比鬥已極平常
囂張得敢與天格鬥 才是榜樣
開天闢地之歌 轟轟烈烈 大合唱
如何憑人力綑綁一剎夕陽
如何憑財力去扭轉天亮 請拍掌

習慣了這異象 誰又在叫嚷
六月飛霜 世界怪得誇張
誰又去決定誰正常 不知哪個有異想
未曾盡興 剩下砒霜 當配方分享
誰來斗膽講仙丹會斷腸 誰有膽去相信過激立場
人人一把口一百種真相 誰說得漂亮

最可笑的 喊亦正常
最悲壯的 笑亦正常
哪一個可 發育正常

講講詞:

回歸以來,唯一受到中共全方位打壓的政治運動只有五區公投。每年七一?都亂不了事。零三年那次大家遊行完也很守秩序地回家去,給了中共喘息的政治空間,還以此沾沾自喜。六四?讓你們自我感覺良好一下,對政治壓力反過來還有舒解作用呢。公投醞釀期間的輿論氣氛就是各界全力寫衰。左報硬有硬打、扮中立的日月報則軟有軟打。當時會說人話的只有一家報紙。我記得當天林夕在專欄上也鼓動人們去投票,說「今天不投,還待何時」。 Read more…

死本能與生本能:張國榮的藝術變形(1997~2003)

On 15, Feb 2011 | No Comments | In 音樂 | By admin

真正令傑出藝術家們不朽的,往往並非他們的作品,而是藝術家們處於顛峰之時降臨在他們頭上的死神腳步。張國榮最值得談論的,也許是他後期(一九九七年回歸以後)的電影音樂作品所共同流露的死亡意象。在零三年愚人節那聲轟然巨響之前,那幾年張國榮在歌影兩面作品的主題都有驚人的相似:壓抑的心理、生和死、破碎的感情‥‥‥這有史以來最成功的藝人為何在名利之浪上越爬越高的當兒,內心卻越蕩越低。 Read more…

誰謀殺了香港樂壇

On 23, Jan 2011 | 15 Comments | In 音樂 | By admin

唱片業界高層年年月月的強調網上非法下載怎麼影響音樂事業,是十分聰明的說法。因為一個說得迫真的謊言,總有三分真,以魚目混珠。網民在網上下載音樂,害到了音樂人的生計,也害到了唱片業高層、經理人公司的利錢,眾生周知,這些非關音樂之關節,卻是利之所在。非法下載,是毀了他們,而不是毀了音樂。因為本地音樂工業也有份毀在他們的操作上,本來無一物,又何處惹塵埃。 Read more…

黃耀明《絕色》—林夕筆下的盲觀音

On 30, Dec 2010 | 10 Comments | In 音樂 | By admin

聽音樂,自己不太著重歌詞。好的歌詞,看著是賞心樂事。可一首歌好,是好在音樂。好的歌詞救不到一首爛歌,一首好歌的歌詞卻可以是不知所謂的。Sigur Rós的歌詞是誰都聽不懂的自創語,但還是好音樂。

看見有些聽眾對這首新歌《絕色》的歌詞失望,我不以為然。失望,皆因期望太高。張國榮死後,妖魔鬼怪就只剩下一個黃耀明。而林夕又寫過太多精品給他。在這個歌手多、音樂人少的樂壇,對他們期望太高,不足為奇。 Read more…

張國榮哀:《熱.情演唱會》

On 07, Nov 2010 | 2 Comments | In 音樂 | By admin

要閱讀張國榮的巨星殞落,二千年舉行的《熱情演唱會》必將成為一條重要線索。其大膽和妖冶的舞台造型讓人嘩然。長髮、女性化造型、也讓傳媒可以大寫特寫。像一群原始人圍擁在一支燃燒的火柴四周,一臉大惑不解、竊竊私語。尼采說,飛得越高的人,在那些地上的人的眼中便顯得越小。 Read more…
