Arco

伦敦三人组合Arco,成立于上世界90年代。成员:吉他手兼主唱Chris healey、贝斯兼吉他手David Milligan、打击乐手兼Chris的双胞胎兄弟Nick Healey。Arco乐队是一个非常低调的乐队,虽然他们不张扬,但是他们的音乐却在安详中绽放着纯净而又芬芳的花朵。他们用最为简单的文字,加以低吟的旋律诉说着他们对这个世界的理解。此外,乐队的名字Arco,是源于意大利语的音乐术语,意为在演奏弦乐器时,在某些时候以弓拉代替以手拨弦。只是一个音乐符号,用来告诉那些弦乐演奏者们回归到弓的使用上来,而不要一味强调手指的运用。这样优雅的转移从某些方面很好的诠释了Arco的音乐,从容不迫,而又变幻美丽。木吉他,贝斯,鼓,似乎Arco轻轻松松就创造出了轻弱而美妙的音乐氛围,但是在那些看似淡然的音乐下面却隐藏着压抑着的伤感,就像暗夜里的蝴蝶,在漆黑的玫瑰花园里起舞,而周围,充满了Arco优美的吉他旋律,简单而柔软的鼓和贝斯,还有Chris Healey那种性别模糊带着淡淡惆怅的歌声。 这首Perfect World来自他们于2004年发行的专辑Restraint,是一首非常不错的歌曲,一起来聆听吧!

Perfect World

歌词

Sorry I didn't like your point of view
Didn't mean to upset you or hurt you
Find it hard to tell those sweet little lies
Always finding fault when I could compromise
I just want a perfect world

Sorry I don't see life the way you do
If I could I'd be just the same as you
Every day parade the things I feel inside
Not be silent by the doubt that I can't hide

I just want a perfect world
Something beautiful preserved
And to take what we've been given's
A trick I've never learned
I just want a perfect world

So the world falls off around you
You're standing on the edge
Know you'll fall it just hasn't happened yet
And there's no-one left to catch you
And even if there were
You're not sure you could repay such a debt

But I just can't seem to shake
The old pursuits of youth
Simple need to be
The seeker after truth

I just want a perfect world
Dumbest thing you ever heard
But to take what we've been given's
A trick I've never learned
I just want a perfect world
