沪江小编 根据畅销小说改编的Sean Penn作品《Into The Wild》本是一部平常之作,却因为有一个名字而使其受到一群乐迷的关注,这个名字就是Eddie Vedder——西雅图90年代车库风云乐队Pearl Jam的主唱,这也是Eddie Vedder首次以个人名义发片,意义也非同寻常,此专辑首次进榜就杀到Billboard专辑榜的11位,是个令人赞叹的成绩。在最近Velvet Revolver和Foo Fighters等老家伙们重新升温中,Eddie Vedder也不甘人后,而这样一张简短精湛充满乡土气息的专辑也是那个激情澎湃时代的“左派”人士都要走过的道路,是对高呼“妓女要比议员纯洁的多”时代的告别,也是对成熟后的默然和释怀。已经43岁的Eddie Vedder当然有资本看到新潮的朋克们跳来跳去,而自己玩起浪漫的公路电影。整张专辑简洁流畅,Eddie Vedder用简单的吉他和短短的几分钟(专辑大部分曲目都在3分之内)构画出对自然和野性的向往,也激励着人们对自由和真理的寻找,再加上现代人听起来土的掉渣的男中音,一张最能还原Eddie Vedder的作品集就此承现。就连一向挑剔的metacritic也为其给出82分的高分(2007年最高分为90分,为瑞典的电子乐队The Field的专辑),如果你还保持着对Pearl Jam的怀念或对那个时代的怀念,请安静下来听听这张专辑,一定会让你找到一种久违的感动。

On bended knee is no way to be free

Lifting up an empty cup, I ask silently
All my destinations will accept the one that's me
So I can breathe...

Circles they grow and they swallow people whole
Half their lives they say goodnight to wives they'll never know
A mind full of questions, and a teacher in my soul
And so it goes...

Don't come closer or I'll have to go
Holding me like gravity are places that pull
If ever there was someone to keep me at home
It would be you...

Everyone I come across, in cages they bought
They think of me and my wandering, but I'm never what they thought
I've got my indignation, but I'm pure in all my thoughts
I'm alive...

Wind in my hair, I feel part of everywhere
Underneath my being is a road that disappeared
Late at night I hear the trees, they're singing with the dead
Overhead...

Leave it to me as I find a way to be
Consider me a satellite, forever orbiting
I knew all the rules, but the rules did not know me
Guaranteed
