Fly on the Windscreen



我覺得DM的歌詞最大的魔力,就是當心靈脆弱的時候,就不由得想起他們的歌詞。

Their music are "pain and suffering in various tempos~"

"Death is everywhere"
Yes, it is everywhere. 今年發生過幾次墜機事件了呢?
颶風、地震、恐怖攻擊、禽流感...
We could die... at any moment

"Reminding us
We could be torn apart
Tonight
"

是的,人和人會被拆散、分隔,而渺小的我們卻無能為力

So,
"Come here
Kiss Me
(Touch Me)
Now...
"

The world only makes sense when we're together! When we LOVE each other.

雖然大部分的人都冷漠,「人不自私,天誅地滅。」,但那是無法改變的人類特質。
而且每個人都一樣自私,我覺得我們無權評斷別人。
愛人的優點、也要愛人的缺點。

好吧,我太理想主義了,那也是為什麼我一直不停的受傷。

Strangelove



Strangelove是DM的招牌歌曲之一。
響亮、震撼的前奏,舞動的節奏,晦暗的歌詞為八零年代末的DM留下令人印象深刻的標記。
一開始聽Strangelove時,覺得它太刻意,Martin寫它,根本就是故意要它讓停在聽眾腦海中縈繞不去。它也好像太大眾化、太流行。

但時間久了後,我反而非常喜歡它,而且很少歌能讓我這樣可以一次聽好幾遍而不厭倦。為什麼喜歡,我也說不上來。

歌詞倒是頗具爭議性,看了應該就了解了。有人說,Martin本性一定非常horny...
anyway...

Strangelove
Lead singer: David Gahan
Songwriter: Martin L. Gore
Appears on: "Music For The Masses" album
"The Singles 86>98" album

There'll be times
When my crimes
Will seem almost unforgivable
I give in to sin
Because you have to make this life livable
But when you think I've had enough
From your sea of love
I'll take more than another riverful
And I'll make it all worthwhile
I'll make your heart smile

Strangelove
Strange highs and strange lows
Strangelove
That's how my love goes
Strangelove
Will you give it to me
Will you take the pain
I will give to you
Again and again
And will you return it

There'll be days
When I stray
I may appear to be
Constantly out of reach
I give in to sin
Because I like to practice what I preach
I'm not trying to say
I'll have it all my way
I'm always willing to learn
When you've got something to teach
And I'll make it all worthwhile
I'll make your heart smile

Pain will you return it
I'll say it again - pain
Pain will you return it
I won't say it again

I give in
Again and again
I give in
Will you give it to be
I give in
I'll say it again
I give in

I give in
Again and again
I give in
That's how my love goes
I give in
I'll say it again
I give in
Will you give it to me
I give in
