炎熱的夏天我們需要泠涼的女聲




















所以來向大家推薦我最近發現的正團Loquat,直接翻譯就叫做枇杷
這株從加州舊金山長出來的枇杷主走瑞典輕快涼爽的電子、流行曲風,目前發行專輯兩張。

底下推薦收錄在2005年第一張專輯It's yours to keep中的 Swingset Chain。
(不過youtube上的應該不是album version,沒差,也讚)
據說這首歌會勾起人的哪絲道甲(nostalgia)也就是思鄉、懷舊的鄉愁之情。
歌詞跟曲子蠻可愛,不過無法勾起我的鄉愁,因為我每天都嘛回家睡覺愁個屁阿。





There's a playground that we used to run on
The penny-drop that broke her arm
The monkey bars that you fell from
The swingset chain that stuck with my tongue
It's thirty below and we're far gone
If you plant yourself here I wouldn't miss you for long
But then comes the day when you leave town
I'm back to the way I was when you weren't around

If you want to know what that was like
I'll tell you first, it was way too quiet
It rained a hundred nineteen days of the year
I spent my time falling down the stairs
I know I can't tie you to a leash
But something tells me you'd go further than Greece
And then I'll have to figure out what to do
I'm kind of afraid I'm co-dependent on you

I'm freaking out that we've started breaking down
Before momentum picked up
Now all these doors are locked
The trees trick you 'cause they're always standing still
If time was really racing by
You could see it when you drive

There's a rooftop deck where we still hang out
A couple of bars where we're not allowed
The roller-skates that threw you on your face
The park on the hill which was our only space
The fog is fast and it rolls right in
About the time I struck my first fifth of gin
I really don't mean to complain too much
But this is turning me into quite the lush

I'm freaking out that we're running out of time
But to do what?
Should I stop and think of that?
Is there something I could do to slow it down?
Live in a day for once
Instead of watch it screaming by

You're a dandelion seed
That flies through the air
And lands randomly
Then disappears

I'm freaking out that we've started breaking down
Before momentum picked up
Now all these doors are locked
The trees trick you 'cause they're always standing still
If time was really racing by
You could see it when you drive

  1. 真不賴~
    我最近很喜歡一個團叫"Noah and the whale",比較偏向Folk。他們的"In 5 years time"充滿了歡樂的氣氛,聽完以後好想跟心愛的人去動物園轉圈圈~

    真是歡樂又青春洋溢阿。不過要跟心愛的人去動物園轉圈圈是指在柵欄裡面還是外面...?
