推荐理由
这首歌是Taylor Swift全新专辑《THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT: THE ANTHOLOGY》(也就是黑专)中的歌曲,这首歌的制作人是合作了《folklore》和《evermore》的Aaron Dessner,歌曲整体是非常经典的民谣式歌曲,旋律很舒缓柔和。
歌名The Albatross的含义是信天翁,歌词中融入了非常丰富的英文文学典故,整体歌词如同一首英文诗歌,非常流畅。歌词的文学解析可以看一下下面的视频。
PS:这次的翻唱活动很有创意也挺有难度的,幸好roll点情况不错,是雨、同和民谣,直接一发入魂,和事先准备的作品很契合。
希望rains作为动词大概可以客串一下雨这个字吧。
