Viva la vida:猜猜格莱美的大奖归属 - [音乐时间]2009-02-07
第51届格莱美就要揭晓了。其实我更大的期待还不在奖项本身,而是颁奖典礼上众嘉宾的表演。
格莱美奖项众多,最重要的便是综合类四项大奖,年度专辑Album of the Year,年度唱片Record of the Year,最佳单曲Song of the Year,最佳新人Best New Artest。先列提名名单在此:
年度唱片
- Adele-《Chasing Pavements》
- Coldplay《Viva La Vida》
- Leona Lewis《Bleeding Love》
- M.I.A-《Paper Planes》
- Robert Plant & Alison Krauss-《Please Read The Letter》
年度专辑
- Lil Wayne-《Tha Carter III》
- Coldplay-《Viva La Vida》
- Radiohead-《In Rainbows》
- Ne-Yo-《Year of the Gentleman》
- Robert Plan & Alison Krauss -《Raising Sand》
年度单曲
- Kanye West-《American Boy》
- Adele Adkins & Eg White-《Chasing Pavements》
- Jason Mraz-《Im Yours》
- Sara Bareilles-《Love Song》
- Will Champion & Chris Martin-《Viva La Vida》
最佳新人
- Adele
- Duffy
- The Jonas Brothers
- Lady Antebellum
- Jazmine
我便猜猜这前三项的归属,按照我个人的喜欢,其实更喜欢Alison Krauss多一点,《Raising Sand》这张专辑是我的最爱。可却愿意猜到Coldplay的作品拿到这三项大奖至少两个。Coldplay的这张《Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends》专辑制作水平高,风格主流,又颇有创新的感觉。专辑封面来自名画《自由领导人民》。

主打歌曲《Viva La Vida》光是歌词就让我赞赏不已,几乎以为这是一首诗,充满宗教含义的歌词让我琢磨不透,配上精美的编曲,实在不可多得。附歌词在此,见过不少网友尝试翻译这首歌词,很多人翻译的很好的:
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to ownI used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy’s eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing:
“Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!”One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand.I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can’t explain
Once you go there was never, never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world
(Ohhh)It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in.
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn’t believe what I’d becomeRevolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can’t explain
I know Saint Peter won’t call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can’t explain
I know Saint Peter won’t call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh
若还嫌《Viva La Vida》还是偏于传统,那首《42》却是怪曲一支了,怪到我到现在也没能明白歌曲名字什么意思。只是猜测可能与《银河系漫游指南》那个42有关系吧。专辑其他歌曲也有许多,不一一列举,附专辑歌曲列表:
- Life In Technicolor
- Cemeteries Of London
- Lost
- 42
- Lovers In Japan Reign Of Love
- Yes! Chinese Sleep Chant
- Viva La Vida
- Violet Hill
- Strawberry Swing
- Death And All His Friends
