会想写这篇文章动机很单纯 已经很久没听到令我动容许久几近疯狂的歌了 一首歌 Jerusalem 耶路撒冷 一张消失了三十年的经典迷幻民谣 因为 Current 93首脑 David Tibet 意外的认识小唱片行的店员 意外的聆听了一首 Jerusalem 让这张 Simon Finn 唯一的专辑重现於世 Simon Finn 在70年代一个默默无名的年轻小伙子 靠着走唱卖艺维生 唯一较出名的事绩也许他音乐生涯的开始是为 Al Stewart 暖场 但也没多久 在录了这张 Pass The Distance之後 开始渐渐有人注意到这张专辑 但他也跟着消失了 唯一的一张专辑也渐渐地变成止於讨论 从专辑内页的文字介绍中得知他过着与一般农夫没有两样的生活 直到 David Tibet 联系上他为止 也使我们有机会聆听到这张原本已经变为传说的专辑 认识这位原本已经被人认为已经自杀的人物 自己已经习惯於在网路上看着各式各样的音乐资讯 偶然的一天 看到 Other Music网站 Staff Pick中几乎每个人都选了 Pass The Distance为最爱专辑之一 当时很有趣的是脑海中马上浮现的是会不会和 Neil Finn有关 看了看网站上的专辑封面 觉得颇可爱 但也没有购买的慾望 一直到看了文字介绍 发现是自己也许会喜欢的迷幻民谣曲风 才透过网路买了这张专辑 前四首歌说实话听了没有太大印象 念书时听听随着音乐播放时间的流逝 也就这样过去了 但听到第五首歌 Jerusalem 时 我整个人顿时停了下来 Simon Finn 好似疯狂一般 唱到最後整个人有如哭泣嘶吼一般陷入一种未知的疯狂状态 I'm crying: Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Jerusalem oh no no Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Jerusalem oh no no 让我想起疯狂钻石 Syd barrett服用药物过量後歌唱的情景 但是 Simon Finn的歌声更为激动 整个人的情绪释放与那无穷止尽的能量 让人感动的起鸡皮疙瘩 我放了这首歌整个晚上 让自己的情绪与内在的能量换化成与他一样所想要表达的感觉 是否有年轻时前卫吉他手 David Toop助阵 有手鼓与电风琴的搭配都不重要 重要的是 Simon Finn 的歌声 动能与激情 哭泣与失落 http://www.simonfinn.co.uk/ 网站中有详尽的介绍 Jerusalem--- The smell of newly-cut corn came sifting through the palm trees My eyes they were blinded by the sun reflecting on the seas One hundred dozen mermaids smiled as I passed through the haze The sound of familiar voices of yonder days Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Jerusalem oh no no Jerusalem was made by a guy oh I forget his name And Jesus was a drop-out a king who bore no crown Only his long hair flowing and blowing in the wind And Jesus was a fisherman that's all he had to say Oh yeah, said "now follow me disciples lead your lives a different way" And he rode into Jerusalem on a donkey both bedraggled and lame And his Pharisees cursed his every word But did not laugh---that made a change And Jesus was a good guy who lived on figs and wine A political revolutionary out to let you have good time Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Jerusalem oh no no The sun it was rising just to christen his cross of fame Did he imagine at that moment two hundred million hypocrites would praise his name? And were he now to come down those hypocrites would crucify him again And through the sweating crowds, tears streaming down my face till I'm going insane I'm crying: Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Jerusalem oh no no Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Jerusalem oh no no The smell of newly-cut corn came sifting through the palm trees My eyes they were blinded by the sun reflecting on the seas Well that same sun was rising just to christen his cross of fame Did he imagine at that moment two hundred million hypocrites would praise his name? And were he now to come down those hypocrites would crucify him again And through the sweating crowds, tears streaming down my face till I'm going insane I'm crying: Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Jerusalem oh no no Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Jerusalem oh no no They're gonna put him inside And I'm yelling all I can can't you see he's the Christ? oh no no And they don't understand a single word I say But I'm crying just the same Jerusalem Jerusalem, Jerusalem, oh no no Jerusalem Jerusalem, Jerusalem, oh no no Gonna put him inside I'm yelling all I can can't you see he's the Christ Oh the Christ the Christ the Christ Jerusalem Jerusalem, Jerusalem -- 我的不才明日报 http://mypaper.pchome.com.tw/news/yeves/ --
