In The Aeroplane Over The Sea--Neutral Milk Hotel

What a beautiful face
I have found in this place
That is circling all round the sun
What a beautiful dream
That could flash on the screen
In a blink of an eye and be gone from me
Soft and sweet
Let me hold it close and keep it here with me

And one day we will die
And our ashes will fly from the aeroplane over the sea
But for now we are young
Let us lay in the sun
And count every beautiful thing we can see
Love to be
In the arms of all I'm keeping here with me

What a curious life we have found here tonight
There is music that sounds from the street
There are lights in the clouds
Anne's ghost all around
Hear her voice as it's rolling and ringing through me
Soft and sweet
How the notes all bend and reach above the trees

Now how I remember you
How I would push my fingers through
Your mouth to make those muscles move
That made your voice so smooth and sweet
And now we keep where we don't know
All secrets sleep in winter clothes
With one you loved so long ago
Now he don't even know his name

What a beautiful face
I have found in this place
That is circling all round the sun
And when we meet on a cloud
I'll be laughing out loud
I'll be laughing with everyone I see
Can't believe how strange it is to be anything at all

歌曲简介：

Neutral Milk Hotel常常把自己描述为“法兹民谣”，他们作为Elephant 6厂牌最初的乐团，为这个以出品lo-fi的独立音乐之名的厂牌的发展做出了贡献。其实Elephant 6 严格来说是一个社团的性质，一些志趣相投的人在一起分享音乐，思想，和感觉，比如有the Apples (in stereo), the Olivia Tremor Control 和Secret Square这样的乐队。Neutral Milk Hotel基本上属于Jeff Mangum，他是来自洛杉矶Ruston小镇上的歌手和创作人。在高中的时候他就受到很多音乐人的影响，比如the Beatles，the Beach Boys，the Zombies，Pink Floyd和Sonic Youth等等，在那个时候他就已经开始学会模仿。1989年的时候，Neutral Milk Hotel作为一个三人噪音摇滚组合开始了自己的处女演出；neutral milk hotel终于找到自己方向和自己的乐手，并在之后录制了伟大的作品In The Aeroplane Over the Sea.这首歌出自Neutral Milk Hotel乐队1998年的专辑《In the Aeroplane Over the Sea》，这张广受好评的Indie专辑被Pitchfork Media给予了罕见的10分完美评价。
