嗨大家！新年快乐啊啊～ 今天是这首The Selfish Giant，下面有些背景 说明喔喔～ 1. Bat for Lushed的主唱为这首歌搭配和声。 2. 这首歌的背景在描述一个在苏格兰 Dunoon的夜晚，此处曾为美国核动力潜艇基 地。Damon回忆道：1996年时Blur曾经在这 里举办一场海边演唱会，是个非常鬼魅般的场 所，笼罩着阴沈忧伤的气氛，能感受到过去的 美好时光。而其中的Argrll Street是Dunoon 的主要街道。 3. Damon描述，it's hard to be a lover when the TV's on and nothing is in your eyes. 这段，虽然歌词本身似乎看来像是日常家庭生 活画面，但对我来说，概念上是在说某个人离 开核子潜舰阴暗的船舱，伴随着监视器萤幕的 闪光，往大西洋中前进的感觉。而歌名 The Selfish Giant则是在形容这艘巨大的核子潜 舰，潜伏在海底。 4. 歌词中 hard to be a lover when the TV's on. 这句，Damon原先并不想保留，而是制作人 Richard Russell坚持留下的。他告诉Q杂志： 我当时说，我无法，我真的不想。但我相信 Richard，因为我很有可能会错过它，也许它 真的是一段好的歌词。当时这句对於大家来说 都有点粗糙。我很爱电视！就像是那种你盯着 空白画面的时刻，想着：我这辈子到底都在干 嘛？ 以上资料来自songfacts.com和卫报访谈～ 下面歌词翻译喔～～ The Selfish Giant Celebrate the passing drugs Put them on the back seat while They're coursing in your blood 庆祝着药效退去 将他们丢到後座 在你血液中奔驰 'Cause there are monsters oh Walking down Argyle Street Where the evening colors go (it's true) 因为那里充满怪兽 向艾格尔大街前进 到傍晚落日消失处 I had a dream that you were leaving It's hard to be a lover when the TV's on And nothing is in your eyes 我梦见你离去之时 难以成为你的挚爱 电视画面开启 而你视若无睹 I had a dream that you were leaving Where every atom falling in the universe Is passing through our minds 我梦见你离去之时 原子弹降落在大地 只轻抚过我们的心 Press yourself to me right now Push yourself deep down now To the dark hills I must go 请你现在贴近於我 俯身向下逼近至我 必须前往的黑暗山丘 Where the shadows hide Waiting for the final call It's coming down the line 在阴影躲藏之处 等待着最後通牒 即将抵达这界限 I had a dream that you were leaving It's hard to be a lover when the TV's on And nothing is in your eyes 我梦见你离去之时 难以成为你的挚爱 电视画面开启 而你视若无睹 I had a dream that you were leaving Where every atom falling in the universe Is passing through our minds 我梦见你离去之时 原子弹降落在大地 只轻抚过我们的心 I had a dream that you were leaving 我梦见你离去之时 I had a dream that you were leaving It's hard to be a lover when the TV's on And nothing is in your eyes (It’s true) 我梦见你离去之时 难以成为你的挚爱 电视画面开启 而你视若无睹 I had a dream that you were leaving Where every atom falling in the universe Is passing through our minds 我梦见你离去之时 原子弹降落在大地 只轻抚过我们的心 I had a dream that you were leaving I had a dream that you were leaving 我梦见你离去之时 --
