Recall:Macross Frontier’s Music

CrossBud — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 16:27:01 +0000

上一篇《Recall:Macross Frontier》是看完TV前两话的第一时间感受，其实作为一个老fans，还有很多很多心里的话想说，这里陆续补充吧。

先来说说第一篇：音乐篇

由于我是先看的TV再补看的SP，方才听到了传说中的中岛爱版本的《可曾记得爱》（又作《爱，还记得吗》）
尽管内容和第1话tv基本相同，但还是完全看了一遍sp，影片结束的时候，响起了那在心灵最深处的曲调——“爱，还记得吗？”

我无法形容确切那一刻我内心最真实的感受，只能说仿佛身体都已不再存在，一股沁入皮骨的酥醉感让整个人都跟着中岛爱的声音而去。
飘荡在记忆的最深处，最真切、最古老的情愫的最深处，“爱”正是最亘古不变的存在。

无意间搜索到贴吧里的讨论，网友在讨论（正如他们所言，80后都再不是孩子了，有的只是讨论，没有争论）到底更喜欢中岛爱的新版《可曾记得爱》还是饭岛真理的老版。
毋庸置疑，剧场版《Macross Do You Remember Love》时的饭岛真理较TV版已然更加成熟，可以说是她事业的巅峰期，击败杰拉帝人的《可曾记得爱》更是巅峰之作。这时的饭岛真理的声音正如在经历了爱情挫折后终于明白自己存在的重要作用一样，音线更加沉稳，情感更加自然真挚，一首流传了千万年、见证人类文明的原始情歌被演绎得透彻而感人至深。
而中岛爱，方才二九，但确实已然拥有了很强的实力，大家可以仔细听她配音的人物李兰华在唱“娘娘饭店“广告歌时最后的转音，圆滑而有韧性，窥一斑可见全豹：基本功相当扎实，而在remix的新版《可曾记得爱》中最后一段留声机的声音，将人物的情感流露表达得也非常的好。所以，个人觉得中岛爱确实具备继承饭岛真理的实力，甚至在不远的未来能够完全超越。

好像在网上还没有看到有网友提供中岛爱版的《可曾记得爱》，本人从mkv视频中提取了音轨，并整理成320kbs，特来分享一下：点击进入下载

最后想提提饭岛真理

饭岛真理的近况恐怕确实少有人关心了。就本人上次检索的结果来看，应该是后来到美国去发展了，经营一家小酒吧，并经常在那里演唱，作品偶有发布，但听了几首风格已经迥异，水平也不好恭维。这样的事业低谷真是让人扼腕叹息，不过生活应该可以吧，和一个搞摇滚乐的美国人结了婚，但愿日子能够平淡美满吧。
Macross 7的世界观不太苟同，但巴萨拿的不少音乐还是很不错的，特别是《Angel Voice》，一直都很喜欢，有天搜的时候还无意发现了饭岛真理翻唱的版本，真是意味的惊喜，听到如此熟悉的声音，也是好长时间都感慨万千。很大程度上，饭岛真理就是剧中的林明美，她的歌声就是明美的歌声，有一种难以言说的感觉，沉稳中带着不少感伤，却又那么坚定。

最后，希望这次管野洋子出马能够让Macross Frontier的音乐再创辉煌，尽管从《Macross Plus》中编曲出名后她参与监制的作品真是不断，更是打造了一个又一个的精品，但感觉有些开始过滥，这次努力吧，个人对Frontier的期望非常高，希望不仅仅是再造辉煌，而是要记得自己是要树立一个真正不朽的经典。压力就是动力，支持你们。

ps. 这里还准备了一些相关音乐，包括前面我提到的一些，喜欢的朋友可以来下载，需要什么可以说一下，我也放进去。

可曾记得爱-remix版本歌词：
　　现在我听见你的声音
　　”到这里来”
　　对著几乎要输给寂寞的我说
　　现在我看见你的身影
　　闭上眼睛　等待着你的我
　　直至昨日泪水仍填满我的心

　　但现在…
　　可曾记得当我们四目交投的时候？
　　可曾记得当我们指尖相触的时候？
　　那就是爱的旅程的开始
　　I love you so
　　
　　我已不再是孤单一人
　　因为有了你

Once: point it home

it’s been long time not to see such infectious music,
and moving movies.

I dont have the heart to watch it over.
when I finished it, I’d be here to complete the post.

{Updated}:
把原声听了一遍又一遍，女生的歌其实比男生的那些耐听，特别是她那首自己弹奏到一半哭了的The Hill：
[See post to listen to audio]

7. The Hill

Looking up the hill tonight
When you have closed your eyes
I wish I didn’t have to make all those mistakes and be wise
Please try to be patient and know that I’m still learning
I’m sorry that you have to see the strength inside me burning

Where are you now, angel now
Don’t you see me crying
And I know that you can’t do it all
But you can’t say your not trying
I’m on my knees in front of him
But he doesn’t seem to see me
But all his troubles on his mind is looking right through me
And I’m letting myself down deciding is falling you
And I wished that you could see I have my troubles too

Lookin’ at you sleeping
I’m with a man I know
I’m sitting here weeping while the hours pass so slow
And I know that in the mornin’ I have to let you go
And you’ll be just a man once I leave to know
For these past few days someone I don’t recognize
This isn’t all my fault
When will you realize

Lookin’ at you leavin’
I’m looking for a sign

1.Falling Slowly
[See post to listen to audio]

I don’t know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can’t react
And games that never amount
To more than they’re meant
Will play themselves out

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We’ve still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You’ve made it now

Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can’t go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I’m painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It’s time that you won

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We’ve still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice
You’ve made it now

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We’ve still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice
You’ve made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I’ll sing along

For A Little Friend

Cara Dillon: Craigie Hill

Lyrics

It being in the springtime and the small birds they were singing,
Down by yon shady harbour I carelessly did stray,
The the thrushes they were warbling,
The violets they were charming
To view fond lovers talking, a while I did delay.

She said, my dear don’t leave me all for another season,
Though fortune does be pleasing I ‘ll go along with you,
I ‘ll forsake friends and relations and bid this Irish nation,
And to the bonny Bann banks forever I ‘ll bid adieu.

He said, my dear don’t grieve or yet annoy my patience,
You know I love you dearly the more I’m going away,
I’m going to a foreign nation to purchase a plantation,
To comfort us hereafter all in Amerika y.

Then after a short while a fortune does be pleasing,
T’will cause them for smile at our late going away,
We’ll be happy as Queen Victoria, all in her greatest glory,
We’ll be drinking wine and porter all in Amerika y.

If you were in your bed lying and thinking on dying,
The sight of the lovely Bann banks, your sorrow you’d give o’er,
Or if were down one hour, down in yon shady bower,
Pleasure would surround you, you’d think on death no more.

Then fare you well, sweet Cragie Hills, where often times I’ve roved,
I never thought my childhood days I ‘d part you any more,
Now we’re sailing on the ocean for honour and promotion,
And the bonny boats are sailing, way down by Doorin shore.

中译文：
那个鸟儿欢跃的春季
沿着绿荫下的凉亭，我迷失了方向
娇媚的紫罗兰引来画眉清吟
情侣们的低语使我停下脚步

她说：亲爱的，不要留下我一人
财富和安逸也不能让我离开你
我愿放弃一切，甚至是神灵的祝愿
我们永远都不说再见

他说：亲爱的，不要悲伤
无论到哪里，你都是我唯一所爱
我会去开辟一片新天地
让我们能幸福生活的新天地

这一刻不会太久
相信我，我们会好起来
会像女王一样享受荣耀和快乐
我们会在那里继续对饮谈笑

如果恐惧让你辗转反侧
爱神便会把你带到我身旁
瞬间我们便会相聚，相聚在安静优美的凉亭中
幸福的气息会让你忘记任何的忧虑

再会了，我永远的克雷吉山
童年时我从没想过会离开
而今，带着我们荣誉和梦想的小舟已从多林海岸起航了

爱尔兰歌手Cara Dillon 。
她出生于1975年，来自一个爱尔兰传统音乐世家。
她的声音如此清透美丽而极具风格,并借鉴引入了多个民族音乐特有的元素,
并融入自己天然的个性和感染力,在《Craigie Hill 》一曲中叙述一个优美的故事.
那纯净的歌声会不知不觉地打动你的心……

爱尔兰盛产歌手，看来是不争的事实。
隐约在电视节目中见过Cara Dillon的介绍，然而朋友无意中推荐的Craigie Hill后带给我确实是一种让灵魂清澈的力量。
第三者的叙事角度，简单而清晰的故事，平和中激荡的旋律；爱尔兰民谣确实名不虚传。
故事简单得不能再简单，相依的情侣在话别，男人要远行，去为他们的幸福生活开辟土地，而女人宁愿抛弃所有的一切也要和男人在一起。
但如此简单的故事中包含了深深地对幸福生活的渴望，对梦想的憧憬，对情人的依依不舍和安慰；
在故事里，我们看到的是一对自由的恋人，他们没有约束，也不需要任何束缚。
女人说：财富纵使人欣悦，但我也愿抛下朋友、亲人，和你一起离开这个国度。而男人的回答也是如此温柔而充满对生活的信心。
这样的爱情，是如此纯洁而真切。
感人的，是我们能否放下压在我们身上的一切，大胆去追求自己的所爱所想。
这样的伴侣，这样的爱情，这样的生活恐怕早已变得弥足珍贵。

杂记 Part I

记得曹方的名字却是近一年多前就听闻了，应该是VC上。不过那时候却是没有引起任何注意，毕竟曹方这个名字显得太没有力度了。
最近偶然间误了她的Blog，才发现又是一位创作型才女，
唉，还是Icy这个英文名还是更容易被记起吧。

这才发现自己已经很久没有听听国语歌手的音乐了。
《华丽的冒险》昭示了曾经一度在iPod里放个不停的音乐才女陈绮贞的黯然，《太美丽》宣告了最喜爱音乐人David Tao的随波逐流，而Fantasy之后的Jay也早就被我抛弃，看来商业化的音乐人之路确实很容易是一条迷茫之路。

然而对于这个小女子，还是暂时多给予一些期望吧，听她的声音，看她的文字和摄影，还是能感受到了一些的。我喜欢偶尔听一些音乐，但唯独只爱这些原创性的音乐人，尽管如此，却再也高不上去了。我不过是一个喜爱纪录的文字堆砌者，我喜欢平凡而经典的叙事，平滑而包含思索的音乐。

杂记 Part II

说到陈绮贞，还记得她音乐demo里想象自己采访Eric Clapton的那曲，
如今Eric Clapton就要来了。
在这里提到他，不是想说我有多喜欢他的老曲，事实上我听的也是寥寥两张辑录，仅仅作为对吉他大师的敬佩而已。
而感叹的是，又一次京城音乐人、爱好者将大规模南下申城又将开始，也许Icy也会是北京酒吧里南下的音乐人之一。北京的小众文化不知道还能维系多少的力量，也许商业化的小众文化活动还是南方搞得更活分些吧。

杂记 Part III

他们的网站的介绍和二人的故事时候，也正是我和丫头在一起没多久的时候，所以对他们的故事特别有感触。
然而已经几年过去了，我怎么又想到提起他们，还是拜Icy所赐，在找她blog里的《礼拜六礼拜七》的时候居然搜到只有Spark的blog有下载
这才想到不知道二人的近况如何了，因为那个当初他们二人一起设计开办的网站已经打不开了，不知道是因为这次的地震？还是早已弃用？那他们还是在一起吗？
呵呵，似乎开始有些八卦了。不过只是关心着他们的命运。

Wherever She Is

[See post to listen to audio]

I found this album casually from 3hive.com
And I got myself fond of Tobias Fröberg’s voice.
For Elisabeth Wherever She Is, so sensitive album name.
This album is all about the former lover named Elisabeth, who might leave long ago.
Sounds like a common chill love story.
Yes, it is.
Tracks are not that well organized, they’re all fragments, emotional.
I think this guy must be some kind lost in his way, helpless.
But he did not get furious, or agitated. Peacefully lost, just like something fade out, while you don’t want so.
Recommend So I, Grace, What Are You Gonna Do Part I.
Btw, I tried my best, but could not collect the intact album. If you are as chance would have it, please share. Thank you.

不知道您现在是一种什么样的心情，或者是以一个什么身份来到在下的blog。
可能您是一位IT工程师，可能您是一名学子，可能您是一个整天加班加点面对一堆代码的程序员，也可能您是一位人民教师，也可能您是一位普通白领。Whatever，您一定也会在闲暇时听听音乐，回顾一段恋情。
这些天总是看到一些情感上的失落故事。难以忘怀的，或者已经远去的。
那么不妨来听一听Tobias Fröberg这张充满叙事，但无从叙事的专辑中的迷茫和不愿割舍的挚爱。
费尽心思，可是难以将这张专辑的曲目搜集齐全。如果有哪位朋友那么凑巧有，还望分享。

The first album “For Elisabeth Wherever She Is” was produced, played, arranged and basically everything by Tobias Fröberg & Linus Larsson. Recordlabel: Silence. www.silence.se!

—– LYRICS

For Elisabeth Wherever She Is

There´s nothing wrong with me
I´m just being creative
Do you see what I see
Like Elisabeth does wherever she is

It´s not like that at all
I´m just being poetic
I spend two years and I hated it
Without Elisabeth wherever she is

Sometimes I´m taking the piss
Sometimes I´m taking it out on you
There´s something sad about it
There´s absolutely something about it

I don´t intrude on you

It´s the event of the year
You´ve never seen anything like it
Do you think like I think
Like Elisabeth does wherever she is

So do I want to go home
You can ask me that but I don´t know
You won´t believe what I know
About Elisabeth wherever she is

Linus: Drums, bass, acoustic guitar, tambourine, sitar, choir.
Tobias: Piano, choir and lead vocal.

So I

So I
So I don´t know your name
I don´t know your name
Please tell me once again

In the time
In the hour of my need
In the hour when I bleed
Will you comfort me?

Then I
Then I will thirst no more
Then I know what my time is for
Then I know what my time is for

But I don´t want to talk about worries
Hello boys it´s good to see you all again
I want to dance I want to fly I want to be so high
I want to be so high

And I
And I adore her too
I love her, yes I do
I love her, yes I do

Yes I
Yes I see black from white
Elisabeth, you´re right
Come drink with me tonight

But I don´t want to sing about sorrows
It´s boring and no one wants to listen
I like it best when she´s above
It´s love love love
When Elisabeth´s above

Linus: Drums, bass, electric guitar, Mini Moog, tambourine, backup vocal.
Tobias: Acoustic guitar, Mini Moog, backup vocal, lead vocal.

The Time

I felt good so I went to the store
I don´t know by now
I did´nt need it but I wanted some more
I don´t know by now

I found a river but the river was dry
I don´t know by know
I looked for stars all I saw was the sky
I don´t know by know

Elisabeth I want to make you smile
You´ll have to wait for just a little while
I need time to think it over

I took my troubles down a dead end road
I don´t know by now
But I was weak I could´nt carry that load

Elisabeth I want to make you smile
You´ll have to wait for just a little while
I need time to think it over

Linus: Drums, bass, acoustic guitar, shaker, handclaps, backup vocal.
Tobias: Acoustic guitar, piano, handclaps, backup vocal, lead vocal.

Good To See You Again

Good to see you again
It´s good to see you my strawberry friend
Good to see you again
Good to see you again

Have you been waiting for me
In the corner of this street
Do I make you happy?
Do I make you happy?

We´re going to the city
With neonlights and graphitti
We´re going to the city
To find you something pretty

I have a friend he´s a poet
I was there when he wrote it
Another friend is a drummer
We had a great time last summer

Another friend is a buisness man
But he likes to sing in a rock n roll-band
Another friend is a writer
Or he calls himself a writer

Linus: Drums, bass, electric guitar, tambourine, piano, backup vocal.
Tobias: Acoustic guitar, electric guitar, backup vocal, lead vocal.

Don´t Worry ´Bout A Thing

You can´t carry this world on your shoulders
Don´t you worry ´bout a thing
You can´t stay home and watch yourself grow older
Don´t you worry ´bout a thing

Today is your day no need for worrying
Don´t you worry ´bout a thing
Today is your day no need for hurrying
Don´t you worry ´bout a thing

You´ve got to keep the devil in his hole
Don´t you worry ´bout a thing
You´ve got to do things right
You´ve got to stay out of the cold
Don´t you worry ´bout a thing

Today is your day no need for worrying
Don´t you worry ´bout a thing
Today is your day no need for hurrying
Don´t you worry ´bout a thing

Don´t you worry
Don´t you worry ´bout a thing

Don´t you worry ´bout a thing
This life is too short to cry away
Things will always fall down
Don´t let them get into your way

Linus: Drums, bass, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, tambourine, backup vocal.
Tobias: Acoustic guitar, Hammond organ, backup vocal, lead vocal.

Grace

It´s just a matter of grace
She knows I still adore her
She knows I love her ways
And I´d do all I can to keep her

I could take her to the park
We could go to a museum
I could kiss her in the dark
We could kiss where all the freaks are

I don´t think I´m gonna die
I just want her to remember
I don´t want to lie
I want to keep her and love her

She doesn´t want to save the world
She just wants to be remembered
She´s sometimes more than I deserve
She´s nothing like November

And when we are alone
And she washes away her make up
And she tells me that she loves me so
I hope I´ll never be alone

Linus: Drums, bass, acoustic guitar, tambourine.
Tobias: Piano, choir, lead vocal.

What Are You Gonna Do Part I

Elisabeth I´m tired surrender with me
I don´t want to go but I´m falling with leaves

I really wanted to talk but I let you go
I put down the phone when you said hello

This movie did´nt do good it´s not your fault
It was your face on the poster I did´nt care at all

I was out for a second now I´m back again
I´m not looking for a lover I´m just looking for a friend

What if this story ends without glory
What if no one dancing with you
What if this hard rain always will fall down
What are you gonna do?

Elisabeth I´m tired surrender with me
I don´t want to go, but I´m falling with leaves

Linus: Drums, bass, bongodrums, backup vocal.
Tobias: Acoustic guitar, electric guitar, piano, backup vocal, lead vocal.
Anna Emilsson: Flute.

What Are You Gonna Do Part II

Linus: Drums, snares, bass, bongodrums,
Tobias: Acoustic guitar, electric guitar, piano, high hat.

Everytime

Everytime
I try to start to speak my mind
I break her heart

Everytime I wish I could ease my troubled mind

Everytime
I´m on my own
I had to go
I miss her so

Everytime I wish I could ease my troubled mind

Everything´s alright if you count me out
Behind theese walls I do recall
And I
Believe that time can change your mind

If we fall I did not break the wall

Everytime
I try to start to speak my mind
I break her heart

I saw the start
You saw it coming
And from my heart we don´t belong here
Sometimes it´s hard
To believe that time can change your mind

And if we fall I did not break the wall

Linus: Drums, bass, choir.
Tobias: Piano, choir, lead vocal.

See What We Do To Us

”The clouds are gone the sky is blue
It´s beautiful and so are you”
Something is everything sometimes

And you are a part of me
But this is not the way that we should live
Somewhere is everywhere sometimes

See what we do to us
See what we do to us
See how we blow this candle out

But I believe you´re doing fine
It makes it easier to say
I don´t think it´s hard to give you away

And when you got a love that´s true
It makes it easier to say
I don´t think it´s hard to give you away

Now the sun turns out it´s light
Now it´s time to say goodnight
Now it´s time to do what is right

So close your eyes and I close mine
When tomorrow comes we´ll be fine
Remember that there´s still time

Tobias: Acoustic guitar, bouzooki, backup vocal, lead vocal.
Anna Emilsson: Flute.
David Berling: Flute.
