这只歌放硬盘也不多久,这几天突然特别有感觉,来来去去重复都不知道几百遍了,哈。亮点当然是里面的钢琴,主唱咬音不甚清晰,歌曲节奏也不甚分明;平铺直叙的音阶不动声色,夹着像晨风一样的一丝匆匆,视野触觉所及完全被一地清新气息所席卷……
The Fray,美国丹佛四人乐队,2002 成立,好像不是很红,很轻柔的摇滚,HitFM 上说风格跟 Coldplay、Keane 相似,特别是对钢琴的钟爱。2005 年首张专辑《How To Save A Life》中同名点题作品就是其中很典型的一首,据说因为是实习医生中的插曲而被不少人熟知。
专辑封套很有意境,可惜版面需要缩小把那意境全破坏关啦。一颗破碎的灯泡正亮得欢,周遭的昏暗跟它完全无关……

The Fray - How To Save a Life [MV]
Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And pray to God he hears you
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
