Sufjan_Stevens的个人资料

[歌词]Sufjan Stevens - A Good man Is Hard To Find Once in the backyard,she was once like me,she was once like me.Twice when I killed them,they were once at peace,they were once like me.Hold to your gun, man,and put off all your peace,put off all the beast.Paid a full of these, I wait for it,but someone's once like me.She was once like me.I once was better.I put off all my grief.I put off all my grief.So I go to hell, I wait for it,but someone's left me creased.Someone's left me creased.

[歌词]Sufjan Stevens - Seven Swans We didn't sleep too late.There was a fire in the yard.All of the tress were in light.They had no faces to show.I saw a sign in the sky:Seven swans, seven swans, seven swans.I heard a voice in my mind:"I will try, I will try, I will try.I will try, I will try, I will try."We saw the dragon move down.My father burned into coal.My mother saw it from far.She took her purse to the bed.I saw a sign in the sky:Seven horns, seven horns, seven horns.I heard a voice in my mind:"I am Lord, I am Lord, I am Lord."He said: "I am Lord, I am Lord, I am Lord."He said: "I am Lord, I am Lord, I am Lord."He will take you. If you run,He will chase you.He will take you. If you run,He will chase you.Cause he is the Lord.

关于Sufjan Stevens的介绍 Sufjan Stevens，1975年出生，可能成为我们这个世代最重要的Singer/Songwriter高中时学习双簧管，大学时专研斑鸠琴，随後不论是吉他、钢琴、手风琴、曼陀林、敲击乐器等，都成了Sufjan的精通范围。成为专职音乐家前，这名全才的乐器演奏能手也曾是科幻小说的作家与时代杂志的内页设计师。出道以来音乐风格之变化多端，与他精彩的职场履历恰可比拟。第二张专辑Enjoy Your Rabbit以中国的十二生肖为题，玩的却是光怪陆离的电子即兴曲风；第四张专辑Seven Swans（音速青春2004十大专辑）以斑鸠琴为主导，笃信基督教的Sufjan透过缓慢的民谣曲势，探讨著***信仰、家庭价值与个人情感三者间的纠葛，词与曲皆充满著深度与力量。而第三张专辑Michigan与最新专辑Illinois，则是Sufjan Stevens另一个异想天开却又让人拍案叫绝的音乐狂想。对Sufjan来说，所谓的50 States Project一开始只是广告文案式的幽默宣传手法，目的是推销Michigan – 一张以自己成长家乡为主题的概念专辑。然而音乐质地细致多元的Michigan不但一举打响了Sufjan Stevens的名号，蜂拥而至的好评也迫使Sufjan重新审视这个计画的可能性 – 以美国的五十州为命题蓝本，替他们各自创作一张唱片。Sufjan开始思考著美国认同与美国历史。从他的角度出发，美国毫无疑问是座混杂著各色人种与各式***的熔炉；然而混乱的政治局面却使这个曾经强盛的移民国家面临著信心崩解的危机。如何将大家团结起来，找寻一致的出口，似乎是每名公民都应努力的课题。Sufjan尽了自己的本分，音乐人的本分；2004年尾端，他将自己关进录音室，录制了50 States Project的第二号作品，Illinois。目前定居於布鲁克林的Sufjan，从没居住过Illinois。之所以选择它为Michigan的Follow-Up，除了这两州在地理上彼此相邻，它们也拥有许多相似点，时以姊妹州称之。於是Sufjan花了好几个月的时间蒐集资料；他研读久居芝加哥的诺贝尔文学奖得主Saul Bellow的书籍，也参考著名诗人Carl Sandburg的诗集，其代表作品即名为Chicago；Sufjan还阅读林肯传记（其生涯早期与Illinois充满著地缘关系）与Illinois小城Peoria、Jacksonville的历史文献。此外，他也打电话向居住Illinois的友人探询各式一手讯息。这等田野考察是使Sufjan获益最多的部份，虽然生活琐事对当地人来说不足为奇，甚至堪称无趣，可以局外人的角度，Sufjan却从他们的谈话里吸收到了许多书本上读不到的真实体验。万事就绪，Sufjan走入纽约皇后区的录音室，与过往一般，开始在空心吉他、斑鸠琴与钢琴这三样乐器上写歌。於此同时他聆听著Stravinsky、Rachmaninoff与Grieg等古典作曲家的作品，尤其挪威钢琴家Grieg的浪漫风格影响Sufjan至深。他的收音机里也同时播放著巴洛克歌剧与极限主义音乐家Steve Reich、Philip Glass这两种南辕北辙的调子。历经长达四个多月日夜颠倒的录音过程与不间断地音乐养分吸收，Illinois，这张集Sufjan Stevens音乐功力於一身的不可思议作品也翩然问世。这是一张与Michigan相较，不论音乐与概念都更具企图心的唱片。以文本来说，由於Michigan是Sufjan的家乡，歌词大多以第一人称的主观风格详述了Sufjan从小到大的生长经历，算是半自传作品。而Illinois里，Sufjan运用了更宏观的视野对此州进行整体的历史爬梳，因此不论连续杀人魔John Wayne Gacy、1871年的芝加哥大火、林肯夫妇、Sears Tower、诗人Carl Sandburg、芝城著名的热狗等，都成了Sufjan的个案研究对象。而歌词内页更是玄机重重。封面的山羊代表著芝加哥小熊队著名的Billy Goat Curse，其馀如Navy Pier的摩天轮、John Wayne Gacy与林肯人像也以漫画形式出现在内页里。停在Sufjan斑鸠琴上的红雀也大有来头，正是Illinois的State Bird。Sufjan也透过奇想的歌名、没来由的标点断句把玩著Illinois的文字结构。他期许透过这些幽默的手法，使不论曲名或歌词读来都有小说的质感。音乐方面，Illinois有著更明快的节奏，更庞大的铜管与弦乐组。超过二十种乐器与华丽和声所编织出的是类似百老汇音乐剧的戏剧效果，但Sufjan一贯擅长的简约吉他刷弹小曲或以钢琴为基调的慢板旋律是一样不少的。他希望这张专辑能有类似电影配乐的充沛能量与丰满画面，就像一首首写给Illinois的情书。每年总有几张唱片，初听时已足以惊讶地让你合不拢嘴。它们不需要反覆聆听才能参透箇中奥妙，几乎听完一遍你已能笃定地说: 【This is the “IT” record of the year.】於是它在唱机里转过一天又一天，每次听著这些歌曲，只恨不得在天空架上一具大型播歌机，好与所有人分享。我之所以花了大半篇幅描述著与音乐不完全相关的背景资料，实为Illinois不是一张能用文字表达的唱片。它的目不暇给、它的百转千折，它的扣人心弦、它的隽永美好，这境界之高，已非文字能传递揣摩的境界。每次听到第四首John Wayne Gacy, Jr.、第九首Chicago、第十五首The Predatory Wasp of the Palisades Is Out To Get Us!，除了感谢自己的双耳依然健在，已没有多馀的字句足供表达。今年仍未结束，但如接之三个月无其他惊世天碟问世，Illinois，已稳稳座上我年度专辑的位置。
