那天跟土摩托去茶庄买茶,他告诉我说Roger Waters明年2月份将来中国,在上海举办演唱会。这个消息对我今年去夏威夷看U2演唱会的计划流产,无疑是个最好的慰济。
RW自80年代初离开Pink Floyd之后,无论是他个人还是PF发表的录音室专辑都并不多,直至2005年的Live 8音乐会上才又见到RW与PF重新合作演出。当然这并不意味着RW归队,只是当我见到几个白发苍苍的老人经年累月之后重聚在舞台上,以一首Wish You Were Here献给Syd Barrett的时候,我的泪水夺眶而出,我羡慕每一个在Live 8的舞台下亲眼见证这一切的观众。
如今RW来中国演出,相信会象他以往数次成功的演唱会那样将他在PF时期的经典作品带给我们,当然还有他个人作品中同样夺目的精华。今天推荐一首RW的个人作品《5:06 am (Every Stranger’s Eyes)》的现场版本,与录音室版本相比,已负载了更多岁月的痕迹。

5:06 am (Every Stranger’s Eyes)
[Waitress:] “Hello, you wanna cup of coffee?
Ok, you take cream and sugar? Sure.”
In truck stops and hamburger joints
In Cadillac limousines
In the company of has-beens
And bent-backs
And sleeping forms on pavement steps
In libraries and railway stations
In books and banks
In the pages of history
In suicidal cavalry attacks
I recognise…
Myself in every stranger’s eyes
And in wheelchairs by monuments
Under tube trains and commuter accidents
In council care and county courts
At Easter fairs and sea-side resorts
In drawing rooms and city morgues
In award winning photographs
Of life rafts on the China seas
In transit camps, under arc lamps
On unloading ramps
In faces blurred by rubber stamps
I recognise…
Myself in every stranger’s eyes
And now, from where I stand
Upon this hill
I plundered from the pool
I look around
I search the skies
I shade my eyes
So nearly blind
And I see signs of half remembered days
I hear bells that chime in strange familiar ways
I recognise…
The hope you kindle in your eyes
It’s oh so easy now
As we lie here in the dark
Nothing interferes, it’s obvious
How to beat the tears
That threaten to snuff out
The spark of our love

传闻cl早几年就回国了,给当局写过检讨了事。
我觉得解决楼上提到的这种问题的最好办法就是再SB的单位也不会自己抽自己嘴巴。如此一来,我们心理一直默念的RH来华就不会因为TBindie事件成为遥不可闻的屁了。
此君歌曲曾用柴-玲录音,直指6-4。当局会让他来???有点意思。。。
秋傲的回复:
如果最近大家谈论他的时候总是提及这些敏感话题,那就不好说了……有时候我觉得中国的良民们比所谓的当局还敏感,也不知道这是不是说明已经被同化了。无论如何,希望RW能如期而至。
