今天提起 Peter Murphy 是因为在XN车里听到，打开车门的瞬间，就是在放这首《Cuts You Up》，猜歌名是 iLike 从 iPod 那里学来的赖以成名的游戏，也是我每次打开XN的车门都要玩的游戏。其中最漂亮的成绩是从一小节只有贝司的段落中辨别出窦唯的《黑梦》。这个游戏在我们之间持续了十年，甚至已经不再用她发问，我也不必每次都作答，这种辨认游戏当然不仅仅是出于惯性，音乐在我生活里的作用已经超越了睡眠，因此我常常在猜歌游戏的过程中去猜放歌人的心情。若XN的车上没有音乐，且iPod还有电，便是她最疲惫的时候。大约目睹过我与XN在车上谈论音乐的人只有我的妹妹潇潇，她甚至我讲过观感，呵呵。
我知道 Peter Murphy 这个名字经历了一个挺曲折的过程，我因为热爱 Jesus and Mary Chain 而在一盘录像带里遭遇了一个感觉特别相似的声音，那是 Love and Rockets ，在没有互联网的年代，你获得的每一个与音乐有关的信息都很难快速地相互关联起来，于是 Love and Rockets 与 Bauhaus 扯上关系又是过了一段时间的事情。其间我收到一张 Peter Murphy 的《Deep》，而最终把他与 Bauhaus 联系起来又隔了些时日，当然还包括听到 Daniel Ash 的个人专辑。Bauhaus 家族真是影响深远，我们甚至可以从八十年代后期的达明一派中听到些痕迹，而更多的中国乐迷恐怕是因为窦唯才听到了 Peter Murphy 的名号。
我记得以前有个网友跟我讨论过，是更喜欢 Bauhaus 还是更喜欢单飞的 Peter Murphy 或 Love and Rockets ，我已经忘记当时是怎么回答的了，但我承认 Peter Murphy 或 Love and Rockets 对我的影响是大过 Bauhaus 的，甚至我少年时期若是先听到 Bauhaus 的音乐，我一定不会喜欢那么晦涩的声音。
今天既然又提到了 Love and Rockets ，就再罗嗦一句，我从2002年启用的网名“爱情与火箭”正是由此而来，曾经无数次地跟网友解释过，后来被西祠网友简称做“爱火”，而现在使用的 iFire 自是不必再多说，念出来就明白。
此处音乐起……
# Artist: Peter Murphy

# Album: Deep
# Year: 1989
I find you in the morning… after dreams of distant signs
You pour yourself over me like the sun through the blinds
You lift me up and get me out
Keep me walking but never shout
"Hold the secret close", I hear you say
You know the way it throws about.
It takes you in and spits you out
It spits you out when you desire
to conquer it, to feel you're higher
To follow it you must be clean,
with mistakes that you do mean
Move the heart, switch the pace
Look for what seems out of place
Yeah on and on it goes, calling like a distant wind
Through the zero hour we'll walk…
Cut the thick and break the thin
No sound to break, no moment clear
when all the doubts are crystal clear
Crashing hard into the secret wind
You know the way it twists and turns
Changing colour, spinning yarns
You know the way it leaves you dry
It cuts you up, it takes you high
You know the way it's painted gold
Is it honey? Is it gold?
You know the way it throws about.
It takes you in and spits you out
It spits you out when you desire
to conquer it, to feel you're higher
To follow it you must be clean,
with mistakes that you do mean
Move the heart, switch the pace
Look for what seems out of place
And now I find the special kind
You, yourself, like sun through blinds
You lift me up and get me out
Keep me walking but never shout
It's okay… it goes this way
The line is thin, it twists away
Cuts you up, It throws about
Keep you walking, but never shout.
