School of Seven Bells--"Face to Face on High Places"

今年聽最多遍的indie/shoegaze專輯是School of Seven Bells的"Alpinisms"。Alpinisms照字根的意思解釋為「爬山的藝術」，這張專輯迷人的合成器音效、層疊的吉他和Deheza姊妹優美的和聲，讓攀登山巒時眼前美景處處。



兩個冬天的失眠夜晚一晃眼過去
又一天開始、又一天結束，我就這樣每天受同樣的罪
如今我已經放棄尋找出路
我覺得不值得奮鬥下去

這麼說吧，如果能拯救你，我才能拯救自己

這些日子以來，我總是低著頭，保持平靜
把勇氣和決心葬在內心深處
當時你來臨，把我從沉睡中喚醒
總有一天我要告訴你，你對我的意義

這麼說吧，如果能拯救你，我才能拯救自己

Two winters gone in a blur of sleepless nights
Day in, day out, I worked through the same old plight
By then I'd stopped looking for my way out
Somehow I thought I wasn't worth the fight

It's safe to say, saving you, saved me

All those times I'd hung my head to keep the peace
I had buried all my strength and will down deep
When you came I woke from many sleeps
One day I'll tell you what you did for me

It's safe to say, saving you, saved me
