［音樂推薦］我的開工負能量歌曲－Karma Chameleon - Culture club

santanail · 发表于 2023-2-1 01:11:05

曲名：Karma Chameleon（因果變色龍／情感變色龍）

演唱者：Culture Club (樂團) / Boy George (主唱)

　　推薦理由：

　　今天下午領了主管發的開工紅包，一邊聽著不感興趣的話題一邊想起了這首旋律輕快的80年代金曲karma chameleon(因果變色龍)。

　　主唱Boy George曾經解釋說這首歌是關於『人因為恐於被群體疏離排擠，因此不敢傳達自己真實的心意，試圖討好所有人，最終會被因果反嗜。』

　　我的理解是人活在世上不得不披上各種假面，穿梭在不同場合中像一條色彩斑斕流動的變色龍，但偶爾也被自己編織的彩衣捆縛或絆倒，難免羨慕能勇敢剝下偽裝的勇者。想到自己出門工作也是討一口飯吃，立了個乖巧聽話的人設為了領錢

.......就算無聊到原地放空也得把主管的話給聽完！

祝福各位開工愉快！大家都能成為最美麗最成功的那條變色龍！

歌詞

Dessert loving in your eyes all the way
If I listen to your lies, would you say
I'm a man without conviction
I'm a man who doesn't know
How to sale a contradiction?
You come and go, you come and go

Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma chameleon
You come and go, you come and go
Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dreams
Red, gold, and green, red, gold, and green

Didn't you hear your wicked words every day
And you used to be so sweet I heard you say
That my love was an addiction
When we cling, our love is strong
When you go, you're gone forever
You string along, you string along

Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma chameleon
You come and go, you come and go
Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dreams
Red, gold, and green, red, gold, and green

Every day is like survival
You're my lover, not my rival
Every day is like survival
You're my lover, not my rival

I'm a man without conviction
I'm a man who doesn't know
How to sale a contradiction?
You come and go, you come and go

Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma chameleon
You come and go, you come and go
Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dreams
Red, gold, and green, red, gold, and green

Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma chameleon
You come and go, you come and go
Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dreams
Red, gold, and green, red, gold, and green

Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma chameleon
You come and go, you come and go
Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dreams
Red, gold, and green, red, gold, and green

Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma chameleon
You come and go, you come and go
Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dreams
Red, gold, and green, red, gold, and green

　　話說這首歌的主唱Boy George也有段繽紛的生涯經歷。他出生於工人階級的愛爾蘭家庭，父親長期家暴，小弟有精神分裂最後槍殺了自己妻子。年輕時流連倫敦酒吧，曾參與英國佔屋運動，受到當時的華麗搖滾風格影響加上出道前曾是服裝設計師，Boy總是穿著中性的奇裝異服，妖豔前衛的造型和渾沌的性取向讓人印象深刻。早期他對自己的性向總是模糊處理或說自己是雙性戀，最後還是坦承出櫃，並表示當初寫過的一些歌曲就是向他的男友樂兼樂團鼓手表白。

　　Culture Club在80年代曾風光一時，但Boy George在樂團名氣攀上顛峰不久退團，單飛後成績不佳。雖然開闢多條副業改當DJ還賣畫辦展，但多次陷入毒癮風波，朋友甚至在他家中吸毒過量死亡，後來又被告虐待和非法監禁一位挪威男模，形象還是逐漸崩壞。
