有哪些有深度的英文歌?
因為英語不好,也不是母語,而且我聽歌很在意歌詞的好壞,所以總覺得英文歌不耐聽。中文歌有林夕、黃偉文、方文山、林秋離、許嵩等等等等脫口而出的作詞人,寫出的歌詞有許多值得深思的,我想英文的歌曲肯定也是有這類需要思考的歌,求推薦,也好提高我對英語的興趣。
Shape of My Heart 是1994年電影《這個殺手不太冷》的片尾曲。起源於占卜的紙牌本來就包含些命運的深意,被詩人般的歌手配成電影的片尾曲,堪稱天衣無縫。此曲將紙牌中的四種花色分別對應成權力(梅花)、金錢(方片)、武力(黑桃),心(紅桃)。心,該是鮮紅跳動的桃形,撲克牌中只有紅桃像它,那是愛的象徵。權力(梅花)、金錢(方片)、武力(黑桃)都非我心所願,只有真心,只有愛,是我一直所追求的。配合上Sting低沉略帶沙啞的聲音,被演繹得天衣無縫。
Sting: Shape of My Heart
He deals the cards as a meditation
And those he plays never suspect
He doesn"t play for the money he wins
He doesn"t play for respect
He deals the cards to find the answer
The sacred geometry of chance
The hidden law of a probable outcome
The numbers lead a dance
I know that the spades are
The swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean
Money for this art
But that"s not the shape of my heart
He may play the jack of diamonds
He may lay the queen of spades
He may conceal a king in his hand
While the memory of it fades
I know that the spades are
The swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean
Money for this art
But that"s not the shape of my heart
And if I told you that I loved you
You maybe think there"s something wrong
I"m not a man of too many faces
The mask I wear is one
Those who speak know nothing
And find out to their cost
Like those who curse their luck
In too many places
And those who fear are lost
I know that the spades are
The swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that"s not the shape of my heart
That』s not the shape of my heart
有一個樂隊叫做 Black Box Recorder,他們的歌詞很有意思,夾雜著許多隱喻其他知名些的歌手歌詞寫得好的比如大衛鮑威,迪倫老爺,Jonny Cash,披頭士的話他們寫的歌詞像詩,可能英文不是很好的話難以體會到那些意境。深夜無聊亂答希望有幫助。
One republic,主唱ryan tedder自己就是頂尖的音樂製作人,在自己的樂隊作品上會更上心。如果你能聽說唱的話可以試試eminem,後期的作品和hip hop的確是脫鉤了,但是歌詞的深度也上升了,前期的shady狀態很批判的歌詞也是相當厲害
推薦My prayer
「Dear god:
I know that she』s out there...
the one I』m suppose to share my whole life with.
And in time...you』ll show her to me.
等等
