现在和佛有关的流行歌

核心提示有《愿做菩萨那朵莲》、《菩萨泪》(卷珠帘改编的)、《放下难舍的缘》。流行音乐是根据英语Popular Music翻译过来的。流行音乐准确的概念应为商品音乐,是指以盈利为主要目的而创作的音乐。它是商业性的音乐消遣娱乐以及与此相关的一切“工业”

《愿做菩萨那朵莲》、《菩萨泪》(卷珠帘改编的)、《放下难舍的缘》

流行音乐是根据英语Popular Music翻译过来的。流行音乐准确的概念应为商品音乐,是指以盈利为主要目的而创作的音乐。

它是商业性的音乐消遣娱乐以及与此相关的一切“工业”现象。(见前苏联《音乐百科词典》1990年版)它的市场性是主要的,艺术性是次要的。

流行音乐19世纪末20世纪初起源于美国,从音乐体系看,流行音乐是在叮砰巷歌曲、布鲁斯、爵士乐、摇滚乐、索尔音乐等美国大众音乐架构基础上发展起来的音乐。

其风格多样,形态丰富,可泛指Jazz、Rock、Soul、Blues、Reggae、Rap、Hip-Hop、Disco、New Age、Funk、R&B等20世纪后诞生的都市化大众商品音乐。

流行音乐,根据英语Popular Music翻译过来的。按照汉语词语表面去理解,所谓流行音乐,是指那些结构短小、内容通俗、形式活泼、情感真挚,并被广大群众所喜爱,广泛传唱或欣赏,流行一时的甚至流传后世的器乐曲和歌曲。

这些乐曲和歌曲,植根于大众生活的丰厚土壤之中。因此,又有"大众音乐”之称。 

但是,这样的界定有可能使那些本不属于流行音乐的音乐,仅仅因为它们也在群众中广泛流传而都可被划归为流行音乐,如:《国际歌》、《义勇军进行曲》、《马赛曲》、《洪湖水浪打浪》、《歌唱祖国》、《东方红》、《南泥湾》等。

另一方面,又把那些分明是流行的音乐,由于它们流传不开(这在流行音乐中也为数不少)而排除在流行音乐之外。显然,流行音乐不一定都流行,流行的音乐也不一定是流行音乐,流行音乐是指被大众熟知的音乐。

Sara K

印象中,每张Sara K的唱片都是音响试音典范。她已经超越了年轻时的唱作水准,近几年的作品都称得上经典、成熟。同时作为木琴演奏家,她的四弦吉他始终声色迷人,对表演力的把握更是收放自如,现场表现力极佳。

《Vincent》(点击下载)是Sara K翻唱Don McLean的作品,个人认为超过了原作的神韵。

Starry, starry night

Paint your palette blue and gray

Look out on a summer s day

With eyes that know the darkness in my soul

Shadows on the hills

Sketch the trees and the daffodils

Catch the breeze and the winter chills

In colors on the snowy linen land

Chorus:

Now I understand

What you tried to say to me

How you suffered for your sanity

How you tried to set them free

They would not listen they did not how

Perhaps they ll listen now

Starry, starry night

Flaming flowers that brightly blaze

Swirling clouds in violet haze

Reflect in Vincent s eyes of china blue

Colors changing hue

Morning fields of amber grain

Weathered faces lined in pain

Are soothed beneath the artist s loving hand

Chorus:

For they could not love you

But still your love was true

And when no hope was left inside

On that starry, starry night

You took your life as lovers often do

But I could have told you Vincent

This world was never meant for one as

beautiful as you

Starry, starry night

Portraits hung in empty halls

frameless heads on nameless walls

With eyes that watch the world and can t forget

Like the strangers that you ve met

The ragged men in ragged clothes

The silver thorn of bloody rose

Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow

Now I think I know

What you tried to say to me

How you suffered for your sanity

How you tried to set them free

They would not listen they did not how

Perhaps they ll listen now

They did not listen they re not listening still

Perhaps they never will

Lisa Ono

Lisa Ono出生在巴西,原籍日本。她的歌声很空灵,没有任何杂质。音乐是久长的沉淀物,她的作品都很有生命力,可以说是永远不过时的。个人原因,我只在一个人的时候听她的曲子。

我放在帖子里的这首《La Vie En Rose》(点击下载)是发表于1942年的老歌,原唱者Edith Piaf。Lisa Ono的演绎是六十多个版本里最成功的,她抽取了原唱中间的精华部分。

Quand il me prend dans ses bras,

Il me parle tout bas,

Je vois la vie en rose.

Il me dit des mots d amour,

Des mots de tous les jours,

Et ça me fait quelque chose.

Il est entré dans mon coeur,

Une part de bonheur,

Dont je connais la cause.

C est toi pour moi,

Moi pour toi,

Dans la vie.

Il me l a dit,

L a juré,

Pour la vie.

Et dès que je l aperçois,

Alors je sens en moi,

Mon coeur qui bat.

Eva Cassidy

前段时间才知道,Eva Cassidy因癌症离世于1996年,生前并未受到流行音乐界的重视。她曾在美国西北部华盛顿州一带酒吧驻场,1999年才真正成名身后。她的歌声是女性温柔与亢奋的完美结合,现场表演成熟内敛。英国BBC民选统计20世纪最伟大歌手名单,Eva Cassidy是第21位,美国很多周刊杂志多在最近大幅报导Eva的故事。

我常在学校电台放这首《Song Bird》(点击下载),很配下午茶。

For you there ll be no crying

For you the sun will be shining

Cause I feel that when I m with you

It s alright, I know it s right

And the songbirds keep singing

Like they know the score

And I love you, I love you, I love you

Like never before

To you, I would give the world

To you, I d never be cold

Cause I feel that when I m with you

It s alright, I know it s right

And the songbirds keep singing

Like they know the score

And I love you, I love you, I love you

Like never before

Like never before; like never before.

Emi Fujita

去年这个时候,一个喜欢玩鼓的朋友叫我去听Emi Fujita。味道不错,很清新。一直觉得她不是土生土长的日本人,闭上眼睛,你可能也会觉得这是美国人的声音。

她的名作《The Water Is Wide》(点击下载),被很多轻音乐团重新制作,这首歌可以在黄昏时打动任何人。适合弹唱,也是我的吉他考试选曲

The water is wide

I can t cross over

And either have

I wings to fly

Give me a boat

that can carry two

And both shall row

my love and I

Oh love is gentle

and love is kind

The sweetest flower

when first it s new

But love goes on

then waxing cold

And fades away

like morning dew

There s a ship

and she sails the sea

She s loaded deep

as deep can be

But not as deep

as the love I m in

I know not if

I sink or swim

Sinead O Connor

一直以来,Sinead O Connor都是一个桀骜不驯的女人。光头、言辞犀利、易怒、极少阴柔,她是一位严肃的摇滚Lady。她多次宣称如果在她出场前挂出星条旗则拒绝出演,甚至在有4项提名的情况下退出年度Grammy奖的评选。

关于她,常听的一曲是《Streets Of London》(点击下载),浅吟低唱,细碎低语,带着些浅浅的沉静美,从容平静。这首歌讲述的故事很飘渺,很像印象派**的感觉。退役的老水兵,褪色的勋章,一切都很欧洲。

Have you seen the old man

In the closed down market

Kicking up the papers with his worn out shoes

In his eyes you see no pride

Hands held loosely at his side

Yesterday s paper, telling yesterday s news

* So how can you tell me you re lonely

And say for you that the sun don t shine

Let me take you by the hand

And lead you through the streets of London

I ll show you something

Have you seen the old girl

Who walks the streets of London

Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags

She s no time for talking

She just keeps right on walking

Carrying her home in two carrier bags

In the old night cafe at a quarter past eleven

The same old man sitting there on his own

Looking at the world over the rim of his teacup

Each tea lasts an hour, and he wanders home alone

Have you seen the old man

Outside the seaman s mission

Memory fading with the minor ribands that he wears

In our city winter the rain cries little pity

For one more forgotten hero

And a world which doesn t care

Diana Krall

Diana Krall在演唱方面很擅长把握爵士乐的韵律,厚度也很到位。据说她的父亲拥有几乎所有三十年代爵士钢琴家Fats Waller的老唱片,并通晓二、三十年代几乎所有爵士钢琴演奏家。这些应该都是Diana Krall难得的早期教材。个人觉得,她身上多少有些Nat King Cole的影子。

相比而言,我更喜欢现场版的《The Look Of Love》(点击下载)。 Diana Krall布置的一切都很到位,这是我听过的最好的Bossa Nova Jazz,节奏感灵动,但柔劲充足。到处是咖啡和烟的味道。

the look of love is in your eyes

the look your smile can t disguise

the look of love is saying so much more than just words could ever say

and what my heart has heard

well it takes my breath away

i can hardly wait to hold you feel my arms around you

how long i have waited

waited just to love you

now that i have found you

you ve got the look of love

it s on your face

a look that time can t erase

be mine tonight

let this be just the start of so many nights like this

let s take a lover s vow and then seal it with a kiss

i can hardly wait to hold you feel my arms around you

how long i have waited

waited just to love you

now that i have found you

don t ever go

don t ever go

i love you so

i can hardly wait to hold you feel my arms around you

how long i have waited waited just to love you

now that i have found you

don t ever go

don t ever go

don t ever go

Norah Jones

在Norah Jones有些泛滥的今天,Sofa Jazz依旧是经典。她有一只小乐队,包括词曲作者Jesse Harris,以及贝斯手Lee Alexander。她习惯于在创作中即性融合爵士乐的曲调,并适时加入了自己的激情。足够的圆润,柔美。

在这首《SevenYears》(点击下载),Norah Jones用不到两分半钟的时间描绘了一个乡村女孩儿的故事。那个年代,寂寞混沌着,面容大多是恬静的。

Spinning, laughing,dancing

To her favorite song

A little girl with nothing wrong

Is all alone

Eyes wide open

Always hoping for the sun

And she ll sing her song to anyone

That comes along

Fragile as a leaf in autumn

Just fallin to the ground

Without a sound

Crooked little smile on her face

Tells a tale of grace

That s all her own

Spinning, laughing, dancing

To her favorite song

She s a little girl with nothing wrong

And she s all alone

A little girl with nothing wrong

And she s all alone

Laura Fygi

在中央台音乐频道第一次看到Laura Fygi的现场表演,荷兰人的爵士乐,很有欧洲气质。她的歌声很像酒精,纯美致极。

法国作曲家Joseph Kosma在1945年创作了这首《Autumn Leaves》(点击下载),Laura Fygi版本是几百首翻唱中的最上乘作品。这首被重新演绎的幽怨柔美旋律,此时仍旧保留着浓郁的法国香颂气息。

The falling leaves

drift by my window,

The autumn leaves

of red and gold;

I see your lips

the summer kisses,

The sunburned hands

I used to hold;

Since you went away,

the days are long,

And soon I ll hear

old winter s song;

But I miss you most of all

my darling,

When autumn leaves start to fall

Keren Ann

keren Ann的侧脸很迷人。身世复杂,曾成长于以色列、荷兰、法国,声线相当符合欧陆室内乐的质感,这些经历调和着她幽雅世故的气质。

很多人都是通过这首经典的《Not Going Anywhere》(点击下载)真正认识她。法语是一种很性感的语言,配上keren Ann的口中音,你完全有理由把整个上午的时间懒在这样的氛围里。

This is why I always wonder

I m a pond full of regrets

I always try to not remember rather than forget

This is why I always whisper

When vagabonds are passing by

I tend to keep myself away from their goodbyes

Tide will rise and fall along the bay

and I m not going anywhere

I m not going anywhere

People come and go and walk away

but I m not going anywhere

I m not going anywhere

This is why I always whisper

I m a river with a spell

I like to hear but not to listen,

I like to say but not to tell

This is why I always wonder

There s nothing new under the sun

I won t go anywhere so give my love to everyone

Tide will rise and fall along the bay

and I m not going anywhere

I m not going anywhere

People come and go and walk away

but I m not going anywhere

I m not going anywhere

Meav

很多人承认,女声中有两种声音最珍贵:深邃,纯净。第一次听到的唱片,我就确定这是一种纯净的极致。来自都柏林的Meav对爱尔兰民谣情有独钟,她在演绎每一首纯人声作品时都保持着不食人间烟火的状态,很有意念深度。

《One Love》(点击下载)是她最有名的曲目。

One I Love

One I love, two she loves

Three she s true to me

All of my friends fell out with me

Because I kept your company

But let them say whatever they will

I love my love with a free good will

One I love, two she loves

And three she s true to me

They tell me he s poor, they tell me he s young

I tell them all to hold their tongue

If they could part the sand from the sea

They never could part my love from me

One I love, two she loves

Three she s true to me

When I m awake, I find no rest

Until his head lies on my breast

When I m asleep I m dreaming of

My own, my dear, my one true love

One I love, two she loves

Three she s true to me

When the fire to ice will run

And when the tide no longer turns

And when the rocks melt with the sun

My love for you will have just begun

One I love, two she loves

Three she s true to me

One I love, two she loves

And three she s true to me

齐豫

齐豫的《橄榄树》一直是我最喜欢的华语歌曲,感觉她的嗓子很适合唱天碟。她的那张《佛心》以及后来成为《天浴》**配乐的《欲水》都曾让我眼前一亮。现在广东、福建、海南的寺庙基本都用使用齐豫版的《大悲咒》,这种环境音乐的录音及编曲都是国内一流的。

这里提供下载的是足够催泪的《欲水》(点击下载)

风来了雨来了

他们为什么都知道

我听不到我听不到

你说话声音太渺小

风停了雨停了

谁在我的梦里哭了

我不明了我不明了

天上的人凹在笑

不想问你是否记得我是谁

手指头冰雪溶化成眼泪

天只给了我们半甜欲水

怎么喝都学不会

风来了雨来了

他们为什么都知道

我听不到我听不到

你说话声音太渺小

不想问你是否记得我是谁

手指头冰雪溶化成眼泪

天只给了我们半甜欲水

怎么喝都学不会

风来了雨来了

他们为什么都知道

我听不到我听不到

你说话声音太渺小

Helene Segara

Helene Segara很能玩弄法国风情,她的嗓音一般在编曲中并十分突出,但包含魅惑迷离的特质,非常喜欢她用温软的都会爵士乐曲,可以让我情不自禁地醉过去。

《Humaine》(点击下载)一开场就渗出了异域的味道,是最适合在车里播放的非公路音乐。

Que jamais on ne me délivre

Des liens de mon enfance

Que jamais je n ouvre le livre

Où je comprendrai mes souf
