3. Be Here Now (1997) 完
And as I sat at the table with Noel and a host of Mexican fans and surveyed
all the people who has been my family for the past six months, I realized that
tomorrow they would be gone. Different paths, different lives. No phone calls
to the room, no room service, no gigs, soundchecks, the endless waiting around
in large dressing rooms. No struggling to find conversation or watching egos
struggle, no banter, no more lightweights or good drinks.
而当我和Noel以及一群墨西哥歌迷坐在同一桌,我环视过去这六个月以来亲如家人的
工作人员,心知肚明到明天过後,他们全部都会从我的生活里消失。不同的旅程,
分歧的人生。再也没有电话声响,没有客房服务,没有表演,没有试音排练,也不会有
更衣室里无止尽的等待。更没有要硬着头皮找话题的那种挣扎,或者目睹每个人的自尊
如何交集碰撞,没有戏谑谈笑,没有好酒可以举杯庆祝。
Just home and a gradual easing out of the bubble. I knew now what life would be
like for me in the next month. It would be exactly what I and all of us
had been trying to escape, probably all of our lives. It was the real world
and it was waiting patiently for all of us at nine next day. At Heathrow
Airport. Terminal One, I do believe.
只有逐渐从泡沫淡出的归途。我明了从下个月开始我的生活将会是如何。那正是我自己
和无数平凡人一辈子试图想要逃离的琐碎人生。现实的世界正耐心地在隔天早上九点
等待着我们。就在希斯洛机场,第一航厦,我这样预见着。
But in these last few hours I would ignore it. I wouldn’t be up or down.
I would just be content to be here now.
但是离别在即的这最後几个小时我选择不再去多想。我不会激情或着悲伤,
就让我很满足的,活在此时此刻。
---Paolo Hewitt, Forever the People: Six Months on the Road with Oasis
以下翻译/文字献给至今冲击我最深的 Oasis 专辑──
You don't like me why don't you admit it?
你看我不顺眼为什麽不他妈的承认?
But you're gonna miss me when I'm not there
You know I don't care, You know I don't care
但是当我不在这儿的时候你一定会想念我
你知道我不在乎,你知道我不在乎
As we beg and steal and borrow
Life is hit and miss and this
I Hope, I Think, I Know
生命就在我们乞求、巧取和挪用的时候
不断地消逝错过
我希望着,思考着,我明了着
If I stumble catch me when I fall
‘Cos baby after all, you'll never forget my name!
如果我步伐阑珊,当我跌落时请抓住我
因为毕竟亲爱的,你永远不会忘记我的名字
(Be Here Now 最喜欢的Top3 就包括这首,还记得高中听的时候深深觉得再也没有比这个
更屌更直接更自我中心的态度了!)
If you ever find yourself inside a bubble
You've gotta find your own way home
如果你发现自己被困在泡沫般的虚幻里
你必须要自己找到回家的路
(很喜欢这首歌的尾奏,键盘非常playful,还有头子最後的呐喊,真是非常大男人
又很甜蜜的一首情歌啊;)
Coming in-out of nowhere
Singin' rhapsody
You gotta be bad-enough to wanna be
无中生有的冒出来
唱着迷乱的狂想曲
你必须要够强硬才能成为自己想要的模样
(有很多人不喜欢 Be Here Now 的这首歌,可是我越听越觉得 Liam 的歌声在里面
还真恶魔之子耶超帅的,後面的间奏和尾奏也混杂尖叫和有力的solo,
其实很有种沉轮放肆的感觉)
Damn my situation and the games I have to play
With all the things caught in my mind
Damn my education I can't find the words to say
With all the things caught in my mind
去他的我的困境和必须要玩的游戏
还有停滞在我脑袋里的所有东西
去他的我的教育我根本找不到可以表达的话语
还有停滞在我脑袋里的所有东西
(对这段主歌很有共鸣,玩着不属於自己的人生游戏,找不到自己可以表达的特殊方式,
可偏偏脑袋里装了满满满满的东西和感觉!)
Your shit jokes remind me of Digsy's
Be my magic carpet ride
Fly me down to capital city in the sun
你的鸟笑话让我想到Digsy的唬烂
就当我的魔毯载我遨游
让我飞到属於太阳的城市
Kicking up a storm from the day that I was born
Sing a song for me one from 'Let It Be'
Open up your eyes get a grip on yourself inside!
自从我出生的那天就引起了风暴
为我从”Let It Be”专辑里唱首歌
睁开你的双眼,发自内心开始振作!
(以前很讨厌 ”Be Here Now” 这首专辑里同名的歌曲,觉得前奏听起来很俗又很鸟,
但是现在每每唱起这首歌到达副歌的时候,都超嗨的啦!
Get a grip of yourself inside!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
I don't believe in everything I see
Y'know I'm blind so why d'you disagree
我不相信所谓眼见为凭
你明明知道我很盲目为什麽轻易同意?
(记得金银双单曲盒里附的访问片,开头第一句话就是 “Don't believe the eye!”
超屌!)
Build something build a better place and call it home
Even if it means nothing you'll never-ever feel that you're alone
打造一些什麽,打造一个更好的地方然後称之为「家」
即使这并不代表什麽,至少你绝对不会觉得孤单寂寞
(最後很嗨的结尾歌曲,在希望中也透露出脆弱和不确定,我想这应该是 Noel
写给当时的自己和 Oasis 最好的注解和勉励吧!)
Cheers!

so why not smile don't dream away your life 'cause it is mine
Is that a crime?
This life is mine...
