跟《歌手》学英文：林忆莲 Run
《歌手》第3期竞演,可谓硝烟四起,不仅7位首发歌手都卯足了劲儿,节目还首次迎来双补位踢馆。参加竞演的9位歌手里,有3位歌手选择演绎英文歌曲,他们分别是:林忆莲,杜丽莎,迪玛希。其中,前2位歌手排名非常靠后,这不禁让小编想起刘家昌老师在回忆录里的一段话,“歌唱是自然的,发自心灵的,感情的。歌声,如何比赛?”炫技,还是归真?你如何看待呢?下面就让我们跟随《歌手》,来学习一下3首英文歌中的第1首,由林忆莲唯美“莲式唱腔”演绎的苏格兰另类摇滚乐队Snow Patrol(雪地巡游队)的热门单曲《Run》。
林忆莲 Run
林忆莲(Sandy Lam)作为首个出场的歌手,将这首感人泪下的《Run》演绎得细腻动人。开头舒缓低沉,娓娓道来;中部蓄势待发,层层递进;结尾高潮碰撞,情感爆发。柔和的灯光打在裙摆,给人一种岁月静好的感觉。

【关于歌曲】
"Run" is a song by Northern Irish/Scottish alternative rock band Snow Patrol from their third studio album, Final Straw (2003). Snow Patrol's frontman, Gary Lightbody,
conceived
the idea of writing "Run" in 2000.
《逃》是北爱尔兰/苏格兰另类摇滚乐队“雪地巡游队”第三章录音室专辑《最后的稻草》(2003)里的一首歌。它是“雪地巡游队”的主唱加里·莱特博迪于2000年灵感迸发时写下的。
In an interview with Michael Odell, from Q Magazine, Lightbody explained the song was not written about "being a child", as he tended to say.
He described: "I was on a massive bender and one night I was drinking in the bar of the Glasgow School of Art.
在接受《Q Magazine》麦克·奥德尔的采访时,莱特博迪解释说,这首歌并不是想要讲述一个“年少轻狂”的故事。
“那时候我正在参加一个大型狂欢会,一整晚都在格拉斯哥艺术学院的酒吧里喝酒。
I fell down a full flight of stairs.
Jonny Quinn found me in the stairwell with blood coming out of my head ... I split my head open and my eye was closed and I lost a few teeth ...
我从一整层楼梯上摔了下来。
约翰尼·奎因(“雪地巡游队”的鼓手)在楼梯口发现了满头是血的我...我撞破了头,晕了过去,还摔掉几颗牙...
I wrote Run soon after on this little guitar I'd tried to smash up in my shitty little room near Hillhead."
事后不久,我就用这把小吉他写下了《逃》这首歌 — 之前住在临近希尔黑德(苏格兰最大城市格拉斯哥的一个区)的陋室里时,我还恨不得把这把吉他摔得粉身碎骨呢。”
In an interview with Daily Mail in 2009, Lightbody added: "We had nothing. I was in a flat in Glasgow. No doubt it was raining. The song was me writing about an imagined world, projecting myself into better times."
2009年接受《每日邮报》的采访时,莱特博迪对这首歌做了进一步的解释:“那时我们穷的叮当响。我住在格拉斯哥的一幢公寓里,当时大雨倾盆。这首歌写的是我想象中的世界 — 我将自己设身于一个恰逢其时的年代。”
