Black Tape for a Blue Girl — 蓝姑娘的黑丝带

之前在介绍DCD的时候提到过一个叫做4AD的英国独立音乐厂牌
这个传奇厂牌可以说是开创了一个时代
公司内部有一项音乐企划 — This Mortal Coil（尘世的纷扰）
邀请众多旗下乐队为其献曲，呈现标志性的被称为“仙音”的4AD之声
不过这次介绍的并不是4AD，而是同时期的另一个美国独立厂牌Projekt
虽然影响力不如4AD，但Projekt有着相似的审美和音乐气质
并且正如This Mortal Coil是4AD的化身与标志
Projekt的创始人Sam Rosenthal也有着自己的乐队
Black Tape for a Blue Girl
|上世纪80年代初是后朋和哥特摇滚诞生的时期，黑带蓝妹的初专《The Rope》亦带有这些风格，但可能是Sam的审美偏向或是他本人的忧郁气质，乐队的风格逐渐转向“仙音”，只是要更加飘渺，更加忧郁。记得Sam在采访中说过，他对于爱情的印象总是悲观的，认为爱情总会以悲剧收场，这也是他众多创作的主题，至于乐队名Sam只表示不需要过多解释，听过了他歌曲的人自然会明白。
就如接下来的这一首 《One Last Breath》最后一次呼吸。
This one last gasp of breath
Makes going under that much more terrifying
One last hope to cling to as I sink,as I
Surf for my destruction
Waiting for a single word to misread as a sign of your compassion,
but it never came
Now I'm dragged under relinquished of all blameIt was you who let me down
Who failed to recognise me
You dragged me under, you gave up hope
It was you who let me down
You failed to save me...
One last cast to drown me under,
break the surface and now I see clear
Your image divides what I can't have
I'm in danger alone
The wayI need you
One last grab on hope to cherish
Nightmares are better than no dreams at all
I've created you so I failed
Now I am fulfilled
I've created you so I failed
Now I am fulfilled
I've created you so I failed
Now I am fulfilled

|《a livery of bachelors》（单身汉的制服）
这是一首美妙的曲子，曲调像是一位高雅而美好的女士，词则是单身汉对她的回忆和赞美，以及幻想。
她是谁，抑或她存在吗，我不知道，她只是一次次从单身汉的眼前经过，并且总是那么美。
A livery of bachelors calling on her
Floating from memory,
and what of me?
I glance up for a moment,
have I ever really been here before?
I look around,
nothing quite as I remember it
A livery of bachelors sadly listen as her steps echo
Echos as she passes slightly out of focus,
fading from view,
fading from sight,
fading
A livery of bachelors try to bring her back,
bring her back after
Always passing by,
always heading somewhere,
just out of focus
Just out of focus
I still see her before me
She looks quite beautiful
When she passes always later than the rest

|《In Dystopia》（敌托邦）
一首mix的版本，比起原曲更加情绪化和沉重。依然是一首描写爱情的曲子，二人相互使用，相互束缚，相互撕扯，相互痛苦，同时又依赖着这痛苦，只能期盼死亡的分离将其结束。
I fantasize I'm dressed in tattered strands.
Prisoner to his warm breath,
my deference his demand.
This frail girl waits for his command.
Held in his cell,I only can submit.
My face in his hands, it's pleasure I'll admit!
My utopia is dystopia.
I fantasize my body on the ground.
I wait for his command, one less of me around.
He breaks me down while ignoring my tears.
This purifying pain reinforces my fears.
Now I stop feeling and wide eyed I see reality.
I no longer can deny my desire.
Push me when I protest, only if it pleases you.
Hold me so tenderly, use me as I need you to.
In my utopia, oh I crave this dystopia.
And I ran out here to find myself.
To have a little conversation with that God you're always talking to.
And I got myself spun around, and I'm lost and it's getting dark.
He's not coming down here to help me, nor tell me what I need to know.
And I'm gonna die out here in these fuckin' woods.
And I'm gonna die out here in these fuckin' woods.

|《Left, Unsaid》（不说为妙）
最后一曲，这首曲子是崇高的，像漫步在深夜里，漆黑高耸的建筑上望向你的惨白的光，没有任何启示，仅仅诉说着孤独与荒凉。也算是诠释乐队名称的一首曲子。
Did I long to possess you and leave useless words unsaid?
You lie alabaster, translucent
The warm harsh glow of my Sun-reality
How I long for you I thought you held my answer
I wait, as one anticipating a revolution
I implicate you with the power of my salvation
To draw me to the new beginnings I fear to face
I imagine I uncover my universal symbol
Beautiful and potent before me
Aglow within the fiery embers of passion
Aglow in pleasure
And whispers to me of the beginnings of life
You leave the realm of the ideal
To become flesh and form, you now exist!
I no longer long for you
As I would an elusive goddess
After so many years of living in illusion
I fear I have found my ideal
I fear I have uncovered the soul of the dream
And I vest this moment with such power

You’re Losing Me (From The Vault)
Taylor Swift
I feel the brute, uncertain of my intention; the intention of my heart
I tumble from the net of security
To reattain the highwire of this new life
Taking my first somnambulistic steps towards the realm of faith
I imagine you there to guide me
To gently break my fall; not from grace (of God, as some would imply)
But in a most zealous manner
As martyrs we fell - souls filled with passion
Bursting with glorious human suffering and joy
The twin blessing we may bestow upon ourselves
Like fallen stars
Blazing and smoking In this beautiful searing power of a single being
Plummeting to salvation in the compassion of our ideal

这种类型的歌曲我还是第一次听，觉得这种音色风格挺独特的。 中间的男人看着挺帅的{:6_169:} 女生的装扮让我想起了nightwish{:4_91:} 听起来有种说不出的感觉 emmm感觉和平时听得多的华语歌曲差别好大 感觉曲风挺独特的惹，还是第一次听到 从妆容看，这个乐队的风格比较偏黑暗呢 吼(´×ω×`)鸡皮疙瘩都起来了欸～感觉像暗黑的爱情故事欸～ 复古风格，比较少见呢，就是哪种复古酒吧可能会多些 好特别的风格，感觉已经坐在昏黄的灯光下摇晃着手里的威士忌了 音乐风格很缥缈奇幻惹，爱情也不是一直积极美好的~ 喜欢这个风格，而且封面中间的男人我很可以:$ 有点空灵的感觉，触动灵魂的唱法 旋律有种中世纪故事的感觉 这首歌的氛围怎么这么幽深啊，有点往深处去，直到深渊的感觉 好厉害，好少听这个风格的歌，很好听欸 上世纪真是神仙大家，可惜现在哥特摇滚没落了，很少有乐队了 最后一首好特别，一开始还以为没有声音，后面开始有了音量，渐渐地有种安静、黑暗的氛围。 听起来有些忧郁，风格确实很鲜明{:6_200:} 同四楼，我第一眼也是夜愿
