有的歌者是画家，他们喜欢在我的脑子里点染画布，绚丽苍白。有的歌者是讲述者，他们喜欢勾勒故事情节，喜剧悲剧。
而Damien Rice不是，他是室内设计师。他喜欢布置房间，在我的世界里找个小房间，摆放质朴的木头家具，宽大舒适的沙发，光线温暖的台灯。。。然后给打一通电话，在那一头轻轻唱首歌给快睡着的我听，而不经意间附和的女声只能让人呼吸得更轻更小心，生怕那束轻薄透明的蕾丝帐帘被吹散了，生怕那根最纤细精致的琴弦被捻碎了。
新专集已经在我硬盘里睡了足足一个礼拜，在酝酿了足够的感情后终于传到了我的耳朵里。
记得去年传了《0+B side》，于是今年继续传，这次是部分违背火星原则的新鲜上市的《9》。
其实我越来越感觉应该把对DR的喜爱分一半给Lisa Hannigan，这个女孩给了原本就动人的音乐更多的动人的理由。
-----以上有些不着边际的，以下依旧不着边际-----
《9》是3号正式发行的，继续了以往的风格，所以省略了1~8，数过0就直接是9了吧。细节的东西不能形容，因为听的不仔细。如果不知道所谓的“以往风格”，那可以从这张开始认识。这位姓“大米”叫“大米”的老兄对我来说几乎成了indie-folk的代名词了。也许对某些过分要求音乐旋律性流畅感的听者来说，这样的一首一首有点像神经兮系的自言自语也说不定恶。
DR的声音就是他的招牌，木吉他、钢琴和大提琴是招牌周围闪烁的霓虹灯，Lisa Hannigan是招牌下一簇散逸恬淡香气的小花。让我感觉舒服的是第一首是由LH带出来的，而她分明就是主唱而不是点缀，9 Crimes--9宗罪---这就是今年冬天的开场白。听说Elephant也是电影原声，哪部电影不晓得，但很耐听。感觉Me ，My Yoke and i极像woman like a man,节奏也好，旋律也好，至少前半部分如出一辙。此外再提一首，Rootless Trees,也和前面说的是一家子，还有因为对“树”敏感，只是里面有段歌词比较寒，就不贴出来供大家赏析了。这3首，甚至包括9 Crime,就其旋律来讲都是基本一样的，越听越有这样的体会，它们的区别只是处理方式不同罢了。可以归为DR音乐里比较另类的一个家族，感觉上局促且过瘾，成了个有趣的特色。而且我猜测他本人肯定也因为这个调子而不亦乐乎，否则怎么至于那么舍不得丢下，总拿来回锅呢。
总之听吧，振动耳膜的才是最真切的。

试听免，在线等是很折磨人的。不嫌麻烦就整张下载，嫌麻烦我就没折了。但我拿到的不是原碟压的，音质不是很高，要求严格的同学还得费劲自己去找。
在上传N次都没成功以后，先盗个链，过几天再换回来。

客气
那里算是我所知的为数不多的几个走上坡路的音乐站之一，且我喜欢的东西居多，以前只有站长自己经营的时候音乐类型更单纯的偏向于独立音乐，现在牛人更多了
还有，那个700M+的我下完了，不是电影，没仔细看，貌似是花絮+采访
听完9后很想听听0
我也刚下完，700M啊，先留着再说...
《0》里面有几首很经典的cold water,the blower's daught,cannonball，woman like a man 都是我反复在听的，专集在VC上很容易找到，我以前是在灰尘音乐的FTP（现在好象已经崩溃了）找到的《0+B side》，别处还没见有,不过也没所谓，只是加了几首live 和demo，woman like a man好象不在《0》里，但前一阵发的一个帖子里是有的。
知道Damien Rice是因为电影Closer（那张电影原声也不错），这两天放他的音乐，我家人总抱怨难听。呵呵， 他从来没给过我彩色的画面。黑灰色，黄褐色，米白色，这些不算鲜明的颜色应该就算是他在我心里永远的主题色了吧。
我总感觉爱尔兰人从骨子透出一种荒芜中求生存的坚强，不是大树，是野草，可能人们感觉他们的日子很惨淡，但他们却在享受另一种快乐，刚开始听总有些提心吊胆，像是害怕大风把风筝的线扯断了，但后来知道了，那线是永远不会断的，顶多是我也跟着风筝飞到天上罢了

[em02]很明显，我的属于工笔，你的属于写意[em04]
同学，你如今真成了龙了，行踪飘忽啊
果然一大堆，连closer的原声也有...
感觉这张专辑里同时存在着两种风格...
还是比较喜欢宁静安逸一点的...
sleep don't weep...
被扯上天的话下来就不那么好玩了...
果然tree里有那么一段，没找到歌词，搞不懂为啥有这么一段，发音还很含糊...
楼上的楼上，用浏览器放大就能看了...

Rootless Tree
by Damien Rice
What I want from you is empty your head.
But they say be true, don't stain your bed.
And we do what we need to be free.
And it leans on me like a rootless tree.
What I want from us is empty our minds.
But we fake the forests and fracture the times.
We go blind when we needed to see.
And this leans on me, like a rootless...
FUCK YOU, FUCK YOU, FUCK YOU
and all we've been through.
I said bleed it, bleed it, bleed it,
there's nothing in you.
And did you hate me, hate me, hate me, hate me so good
that you just let me out
let me out, let me out?
Its hell when you're around.
Let me out, let me out, let me out.
Hell when you're around.
Let me out, let me out, let me out.
What I want from this
is to learn to let go.
No, not of you
of all that's been told.
Killers re-invent and believe
and this leans on me, like a rootless...
FUCK YOU, FUCK YOU, FUCK YOU
and all we've been through.
I said bleed it, bleed it, bleed it
there's nothing in you.
And did you hate me, hate me, hate me, hate me so good
that you just let me out
let me out, let me out?
Its hell when you're around.
Let me out, let me out, let me out.
Its hell when you're around.
Let me out, let me out, let me out
hell when you're around.
Let me out, let me out, let me out
hell when you're around.
Let me out, let me out, let me out, let me out.
Let me out, let me out, let me out, let me out.
LET ME OUT, LET ME OUT, LET ME OUT, LET ME OUT.
LET ME OUT, LET ME OUT, LET ME OUT!!!
FUCK YOU, FUCK YOU, LOVE YOU
and all you've been through.
I said bleed it, bleed it, bleed it
there's nothing in you.
And did you hate me, hate me, hate me, hate me so good
that you just let me out
let me out, let me out, let me out, let me out?
LET ME OUT, LET ME OUT, LET ME OUT, LET ME OUT.
LET ME OUT, LET ME OUT, LET ME OUT, LET ME OUT.
LET ME OUT, LET ME OUT, LET ME OUT!!!
Let me out, let me out, let me out
hell when you're around.
Let me out, let me out, let me out
hell when you're around.
Let me out, let me out, let me out
hell when you're around.
Let me out, let me out, let me out
hell when you're around...
FUCK YOU, FUCK YOU, LOVE YOU
[em04]...
现在大了...
真心感谢火星树，过两天我就买盘去，Damien Rice的盘我一定要收一张正版的。
我后来潜水潜习惯了，抱歉抱歉。
最近重听《O》里面的歌，还是觉得真的很震撼心灵。顺便一说，最近听了点Chet Baker的爵士，相当有感觉，有兴趣的话不妨试试。
9 Crime
Leave me out with the waste
This is not what I do
It's the wrong kind of place
To be thinking of you
It's the wrong time
For somebody new
It's a small crime
And I've got no excuse
Is that alright?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright?
If you don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold it
Is that alright?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright
Is that alright with you?
Leave me out with the waste
This is not what I do
It's the wrong kind of place
To be cheating on you
It's the wrong time
but she's pulling me through
It's a small crime
And I've got no excuse
Is that alright?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright?
If you don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold it
Is that alright?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright
Is that alright with you?
Is that alright?
Is that alright?
Is that alright with you?
Is that alright?
Is that alright?
Is that alright with you?
No...
02. The Animals Were Gone
Woke up and for the first time
The Animals were gone
It's left this house empty now
Not sure if I belong
Yesterday you asked me
To write you a pleasant song
I'll do my best now
But you've been gone for so long
The window's open now
And the winter settles in
We'll call it Christmas
When the adverts begin
I love your depression
And I love your double chin
I love most Everything
You bring to this offering (?)
I know that I've left you
In places of Despair
I know that I've loved you
So please thrown down your hair (?)
At night I dream without you
And hope I don't wake up
Cos waking up without you
Is like drinking from an empty cup
Woke up and for the first time
The animals were gone
Our clocks are ticking now
So before our time is gone
We can get a house
And some boxers and all along (on the long?)
We can make babies and accidental songs
I know I've been a liar
and I know I've been a fool
I hope we didn't break it
But I'm Glad we broke the rules
My cave is deep now
Yet your light is shinning through
I cover my eyes
Still all I see is you
