Artsit:Regina Spektor
Song:The Call
It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word
And then that word grew louder and louder
'Til it was a battle cry
I'll come back
When you call me
No need to say goodbye
Just because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never been this way before
All you can do is try to know who your friends are
As you head off to the war
Pick a star on the dark horizon
And follow the light
You'll come back when it's over
No need to say goodbye
You'll come back when it's over
No need to say goodbye
Now we're back to the beginning
It's just a feeling and no one knows yet
But just because they can't feel it too
Doesn't mean that you have to forget
Let your memories grow stronger and stronger
'Til they're before your eyes
You'll cone back
When they call you
No need to say goodbye
You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say goodbye
Regina Spektor的音乐会让你不禁然地联想到一个很有古怪灵秀气质的女孩,事实上,在她所演绎的大部分音乐中,富于冷峻而诡异变化的钢琴是唯一的伴奏乐器,这让我们想起了另一位现在已身为人母、可当年却以怪异钢琴气质而独步乐坛的女唱作人Tori Amos。但是,如果仅仅给Regina Spektor冠以"怪异风格唱作人"的头衔则无形中大大削减了她音乐中具有的多元化音乐色彩。
从爵士到民谣再到说唱、嘻哈,甚至是古典音乐等众多元素,在Regina Spektor这张新专辑中一起粲然呈现,史派克特的多元化音乐元素融汇的创作手法是源于她个人多样化、杂食性的音乐聆听品味,当史派克特把各色的音乐风格片断以整体彰显诡异渲染色彩的方式呈现给我们时,我们必须承认这并非是一张适合聆听的音乐作品,但这也并不会让我们停下聆听的脚步而失去进入一个神奇世界的难得机会。
