Mercury Rev - Godess On A Hiway

Mercury Rev - Godess On A Hiway



Title Godess On A Hiway
Artist(s) Mercury Rev
Album(s) Deserter's Songs (1998), Track 8



Well I got us on a hiway, I got us in a car.
I got us going faster than we've ever gone before.
Well I got us on a hiway, I got us in a car.
I got us going faster than we've ever gone before.

And I know it ain't gonna last.
And I know it ain't gonna last.
When I see your eyes arrive,
they explode like two bugs
on glass.

Far above the ocean, deep under the sea,
there's a river running dry, because of you and me.
Far above the ocean, deep under the sea,
there's a river running dry, because of you and me.

And I know it ain't gonna last.
And I know it ain't gonna last.
When I see your eyes arrive ,
they explode like two bugs
on glass.

She's a goddess on a hiway, a goddess in a car,
a goddess going faster than she's ever gone before.
She's a goddess on a hiway, a goddess in a car,
a goddess going faster than she's ever gone before.

And I know it ain't gonna last.
And I know it ain't gonna last.
When I see your eyes arrive,
they explode like two bugs
on glass.



Mercury Rev的音乐是如此与众不同,总在我们想象力之外的魔幻境域之中

在梦境一般的甜美里,通往天堂之门依然紧闭。那些企图穿越Mercury Rev声

音花园的人总是以永远的失败而告终。
 

歌手简介


从古至今、在摇滚乐史上,我们知道总有许多伟大的乐团,

矗立在万神殿上、接受千万的的乐迷顶礼膜拜。摇滚乐中,确实是不乏许多可供

凭吊的英雄事迹、与一张张值得永藏的经典杰作。然而,若是提到Mercury Rev

奇特的组团历程、与那宛如一长途冒险的种种诡异传奇事迹后;那么放眼乐坛

就似乎没有太多乐团可以相比拟了。特别是当他们在1998年完成了Deserter‘s

Songs这一完美的现代经典后;所有团员间的冲突混乱与爱恨悲喜都在专辑里得

到最后的救赎与完结。因为Deserter‘s Songs所标示的不仅是他们历年来最卓

越的成就、同时也竖立了新迷幻乐派(Neo-psychedelia)的最新里程碑。
Mercury Rev从80年代末期一路发展至今,与The Flaming Lips常

有令人混淆之处:同样历经过大幅度的团员人事变动(仅余核心成员始终维持

着乐团招牌)与风格转化,前者的主唱兼吉他手Jonathan Donahue一度是

The Flaming Lips的团员未久他便离开专注于自己的乐团;而其团中的

贝斯手兼制作大将Davd Fridmann后来也另立门户,反过来为两者制作专辑,

并以Mercury Rev最具商业突破性的钜作「Deserter’s Songs」奠基

他成为当代摇滚新美学指针人物之一,此后广接Mogwai、Sparklehorse、

Luna等摇滚乐团与Gemma Hayes、Dot Allison、Ed Harcourt等新生代

创作歌手的制作重任,继续发挥其影响力。Jonathan Donahue 也因

Chemical Brothers等组合的邀约跨足电音领域。忧伤同时大气的路线

就此被这伙人登记注册使得后进者如Mew一出道便被称为丹麦版Mercury Rev。
1989年来自纽约水牛城的Mercury Rev,第一张录音就是一部为乐

队成员拍摄的实验电影做的原声。Mercury Rev这个名字的来源说法多样

有的说来自特兰夕法尼亚的一个芭蕾舞演员,有的说是一个密封的安培计

还有一辆马力强劲的汽车等等,千奇百怪。Mercury Rev经过各方成员

离合之后重组,在1991年终于发行了的第一张专辑《Yerself Is Steam》

获得了各界赞许。1993年发行的《Boces》再次继承了乐队充满噪音底子的

背景中更显出其主音Jonathan Donahue洁净透彻的音乐风格。这张唱片

第二年迅速登上了全英销量排行榜前50的位置,但由于音乐上的分歧

David Baker还是离开了乐队。2001年他们发行了《All Is Dream》

曲风和创作都更趋成熟和大气,添加的歌特式氛围和弦乐铺成了一个

巨大的舞台,Jonathan Donahue入一束柔和的光亮,慢慢浮出水面。



Mercury Rev are an American band from Buffalo, New York. The band's leader, David Baker, formed the band in the 1980s with his friends, including one-time Flaming Lips member Jonathan Donahue.

With their debut, Yerself Is Steam, the band gained an underground following, particularly in the UK. 1993's Boces was critically acclaimed for its alternative sound, but was the last to feature Baker, who departed shortly afterwards. The band's next album, See You on the Other Side, begins a shift away from the Baker-inspired extremes of sonic experimentalism towards the elaborately-orchestrated classic rock blueprint of their later work.

The reinvention continued on their 1998 album Deserter's Songs, a mix of dream pop, noise, and psychedelia. This album was very popular but it divides the band's fans: some say that this is the band's best album, others disagree. The next album All Is Dream (2001) followed suit in terms of musical style, and featured Jack Nitzsche on the production team (best known for helping Phil Spector engineer the Wall Of Sound production method).

In 2005 Mercury Rev released The Secret Migration, a mix of esoteric love songs

  Mercurv Rev的融合了噪音、流行、摇滚的元素让我在数个无所事事的下午不由自主的把它挑出来,尽管意念可以迅速在效果器后面沉浮迷荡,却还是无法给人一个想要的答案。

  Hole有着古典剧开幕一样奢靡的前奏,噪音和弦乐在音乐声中描绘了一个诡异的场面,扭曲的电吉他在人声后面如影随形,和钢琴、鼓一起支撑整首曲子,对立之间互相渗透,用人声沟通的旋律悄然落幕。 opus 40的名字给人一种错觉,混在其中的弦乐远离了那些惯常的摇滚元素, hudson line的jazz风格的前奏和主唱收敛起来的充满爆发性力量的嗓音,光滑的音色浸润在SAX的随性中。 The funny bird中将噪音旋律后营造出的环境在试图扭曲既有的和谐,电气化的主唱的声音像挣扎在水中一般。无助的音效和高昂的激情毫不留情的碰撞。 pick up if you\'re there幽怨的旋律 neo-folk在这首歌里面或许是丰富的多的旋律以及音乐中迷雾一样的云层笼罩了人的思绪,那段电吉他效果在阴森恐怖的城堡中比女声显的正义的多。 Goddes on a hiway丰富的旋律和抚慰人心的音色质地浸渍在几乎是天堂般的柔光里,带有不同于传统摇滚色彩的交响乐般闪烁着异彩的威严,指亮了那些崎岖的人生之路。

类型:Noise Pop, Dream Pop, Neo-  Psychedelia, Indie Rock All Music Guide



  说这张专辑像当年的"流亡者之歌"一样充满悒郁与庄严并存的不可预测之感。我想AMG还用了一个非常精确的词语来形容这张专辑--unpredictable。你永远预料不到这音乐在几十分钟延续的时间里会带给你什么样的惊喜,每一次意料外的改变都是一场美丽的声音事故。Tides Of The Moon借用了哥特音乐的沉重氛围,逐渐演变的电子碎拍音效,Mercury Rev还制造了前所未有的大气作品Chains,他们的歌词似乎更需要一副镣铐,那些字句暗示了太多隐晦而难以承受的事物。Lincoln's Eyes是一首打上Mercury Rev印记的新古典小品,Ambiant音效不时遭遇Heavenly女声,恢弘的弦乐与吉他声突然升起然后逐渐归于沉寂。专辑也尝试了其他多种风格的作品,Nite And Fog,Spiders And Flies是温暖的民谣,A Drop In Time则满篇旧式诙谐歌剧般的旋律,轻快而柔美。You're My Queen则是一首关于梦幻的神秘主义诗篇,是Siren带着一首歌进入你眼睛的幻觉。

  这张《All Is Dream(浮生若梦)》,在制作上,如同前一张采取了完整概念专辑之结构编写。打从第一首的“Dark Is Rising”:以气势恢弘的交响管弦乐,揭开序幕开始,每一首动人心弦的演奏曲目、到最后的“Hercules”结束,主唱Jonathan宛如梦境般的嗓音,轻轻高唱着每一叙事曲中的神话幻影;脆弱、细致而深邃。此外,几位仅存的多年搭档兼好友之吉他手Grasshopper、与负责低音部的Dave Fridmann,亦都贡献出他们最拿手的本事,让这张专辑从头到尾听来,宛如是随着他们一起踏上了自远古不断呼唤的心灵旅程。在“Tides Of The Moon”里,寻月光的银碗踏浪而行、在“Lincoln’s Eye”s中,跟着历史的洪流悠悠远远;甚至在“Nite And Fog”、“Little Rhymes”,这些剔透如翠…………

2005年最佳迷幻摇滚专辑终于诞生 21世纪第一张摇滚经典现在问市!!!
继90年代最佳代表专辑「遗弃者之歌」后……乐迷睽违已久最新力作

与the flaming lips、spiritualized并列当今新迷幻摇滚三大龙头!

mercury rev从80年代末期一路发展至今,与the flaming lips常有令人混淆之处:同样历经过大幅度的团员人事变动(仅余核心成员始终维持着乐团招牌)与风格转化,前者的主唱兼吉他手jonathan donahue一度是the flaming lips的团员,未久他便离开专注于自己的乐团;而其团中的贝斯手兼制作大将davd fridmann后来也另立门户,反过来为两者制作专辑,并以mercury rev最具商业突破性的钜作「deserter’s songs」奠基他成为当代摇滚新美学指针人物之一,此后广接mogwai、sparklehorse、luna等摇滚乐团与gemma hayes、dot allison、ed harcourt等新生代创作歌手的制作重任,继续发挥其影响力。

jonathan donahue 也因chemical brothers等组合的邀约跨足电音领域。忧伤同时大气的路线就此被这伙人登记注册,使得后进者如mew一出道便被称为丹麦版mercury rev。

此刻这皆已于当代摇滚史中占有辉煌一页的人马再度相聚,挥别耽溺抬头见天光,去年抢先于电影 [laurel canyon]中曝光之"in a funny way"似乎已然预告了新专辑[the secret migration]这般的转变。在这首度启用的mercury rev专属catskill mountains录音室中,自然的田园气息丝丝渗入,降低弦乐比重后得见"vermillion" "in the wilderness" 及"arise"这类明快之作破拨雾而出,彷佛带领听者重回久违的[yerself is steam]气焰,末了的钢琴伴奏曲再次让人惊艳jonathan donahue脆弱的声腔如是感人。

alternative malta抢先誉之为mercury rev历来最佳,绝对也是预定2005年终最佳席位的第一张代表作!

any given day

any given day

wish that I knew then
What I know right now
'Cause when I drove out I didn't think
It would be our last goodbye
And if I had more time with him
I know what we would talk about
It's a scene that keeps repeating over in my mind
So don't try to teach me anything
'Cause time is a circle spiraling out of our hands

On any given day the world can change amazingly
On any given day we're face to face with sadness, hope and love
We'll have what we make of it, but we won't have forever
On any given day the world can change...

I took a walk through town
Ended up by a highway
Look miles up and down for anything
To ease this ache inside
I'd stick my thumb straight on
If I didn't have my family
It's funny how the things
You love and things you dream collide
So don't let go for anything
'Cause I don't feel like chancing it tonight

On any given day the world can change amazingly
On any given day we're face to face with sadness, hope and love
We'll have what we make of it, but we won't have forever
On any given day the world can change

Amazing how the world can change
Each second you?re alive
But you are the one that keeps me sane
You make everything fine

 
 

sunny day in summer

HAPPY NINGHT________OHHHHHH  NIGHTMARE
