Artist:Flunk
Song:On My Balcony

Here comes summer

Beaming in through my bedroom window

There's a song on the radio

You used to hum back then

Here comes summer

Still feels fresh as morning air

Today I'll just stay here

And do, well, whatever

>>2009绚丽缤纷的暑期,沪江与您共享!

I'll do whatever

Please, make summer last forever

All I wanna do
Is sit here on my balcony
And think about you and me
And how happy we could be

All I wanna do
Is sit here on my balcony
And think about you and me
And how happy we could be

Here comes summer
Picking flowers in the early hours
Without a care in the world
Except perhaps for bees and birds

Here comes summer
I guess I'll stick to my master plan
Stay away from sea and sand
And do, well, whatever

I'll do whatever
Please, make summer last forever

All I wanna do
Is sit here on my balcony
And think about you and me
And how happy we could be

All I wanna do
Is sit here on my balcony
And think about you and me
And how happy we could be

All I wanna do
Think about you
All I wanna do
Think about you.

    近年一众挪威Downtempo Electronica组合纷纷涌现,闯进我的唱片架上,对Flunk这队一女二男组合印象颇深刻,因为他们的成名作,正是以电子民歌手法重玩New Order的83年经典Blue Monday,一个挺不俗的动听詮释。

    Morning Star是Flunk继《For Sleepyheads Only》后的第二张专辑,这次不但在2003年秋天移师至法国巴黎灌录,而录音地点,更是Hotel de Roubaix的酒店房间!

    在主题曲Morning Star里,Anja Oyen Vister的凄美主唱、Ulf Nygaad的迷魂Dubby电子曲式、Jo Bakke的简朴结他,Flunk的声音仍是如斯迷人美好。先行单曲On My Balcony来得轻鬆清爽,一首甚讨好的夏日情怀小品流行曲。某方面而言,这次他们来得较接近一支Indie-Pop乐队的气质(主要是Jo的结他弹奏较凸出),而相对地减低了Electronica的成分。

    Everything Is Ending Here的爵士底蕴儼如一份糜烂的城市夜生活情怀。新尝试,是I've Been Waiting All My Life To Leave You的懒洋洋Country风情。

    上次改编New Order,今次则重玩了英国殿堂乐队The Kinks的1964年名曲All Day And All Of The Night,由Anja与Ulf合唱,而Flunk竟前所未有地Funky起来。(袁智聪)
