Weird Ballads In My Town的评论   *****


  Eltan Renaxy —— 来自地狱的说书人因此而诞生.Bloody Woods首脑白水(吉他/键盘/爱尔兰萧笛/打击乐/人声)和Lamia(女声/词)在06年组建了这个黑暗音乐计划,其第一张专辑Weird Ballads In My Town(自我城镇中的怪诞情歌)在传统欧陆新民谣曲风中融入了大量氛围音乐元素.作品内容完美结合了Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio般的错位情欲与Nick Cave式的荒诞叙事.病态、黑暗但幽美流畅.
  
  一本恶魔童话,深沉的男声和恸人的女声在音乐的陪伴下讲述了八个有关爱、恨、欲望、凶杀、强暴、乱伦和血的小故事,宛如梦呓.扭曲的灵魂栩栩如生.仅以此献给所有在黑暗中屏息聆听的孤僻孩童.
  
  Intro:
  People said that Shels was psycho. He was sometimes grumpy, sometimes sad. One day, he killed his wife. The blood was everywhere. He, wiping the floor with old newspapers in a panic, tried to clean it. He shut the door and windows and ran to ‘my’ house. I saw him sweating all over so I gave him a glass of hot water to calm him down. He began to tell ‘me’ stories about this town. Because the stories were told disorderly and in a weird speed, they seemed to be even more absurd for ‘me’.
  
  A ballad:
  ‘I’ was a teacher in the town. I always liked to tell stories to my students in class. This song was the one I liked to sing to my friends. Some of the people in stories were my friends, and some were my family. Sometimes I couldn’t understand why these absurd stories always happened to people around me.
  
  Renaxy:
  This was a weird day. I took my students to the wild. We came to a beautiful cave. There were a lot of green grass and magnificent wild flowers near the entrance. But I entered the cave. In the light of the torch, I saw ‘Renaxy’ written inside the cave wobbly. I didn’t know what it stood for, so I wrote it down on my notebook. Yet I still remembered the fear those letters brought me at that moment. I was suppressed by that feeling and could hardly escape.
  
  Jordi:

  Jordi was the daughter of Shels’s. Everytime Shels talked about her, he cried, terribly. Ever since her father killed her mother, Jordi left him. It was said that she went to another town and married to a poor labourer. Jordi had a beautiful body and charming eyes. But that poor labourer could never satisfy her infinite desires. For a long time, the bother of her husband always called her to make love in the midnight. She chirped and made the heavy night of the town even grayer. But Jordi hurt badly deep inside, she wanted to run. One day one said she ran into the mountains, but her husband found her, beat her and fucked her.
  
  Lorida:
  Hearing stories about Shels’s daughter, I recalled my daughter Lorida. I married her mother in a wheat field. I always remembered the day she was born, her skin and her hair. But she left us anyway and eloped away with a man with black skin. So-called eternal love was no more than absurd legends, I thought. I still missed my daughter. In dreams, I always feared, because her voice was always there. I didn’t know if she was dead, but I had this strange feeling that she was.
  
  Maria:
  Maria was a beautiful woman in my town. Because frustrations brought by love, she didn’t believe in man. She never lacked men, but rumours had it that those men would die in suffocation in climax. Because she lived in the outskirts, everything was rumoured. She was as beautiful as she was frightening. Shels said he went to bed with her. The smell of blood was always in her house.
  
  Shels:
  Shels was my friend. We always liked to talk to each other. He always told me he could fly. I didn’t believe it, and I never saw he do it. He left finally; no one knows where he had gone. He didn’t even know how his wife died.
  
  Karffen:
  Karffen was my little brother. His son was an idiot but he loved him very much. The early death of his wife made him an alcoholic. Some strange and nameless sex made him losing himself too. He never let us to say anything about his child. I knew that he was very proud. One old peasant one day told his son he was an idiot sarcastically. The child didn’t understand, so he laughed. In that night my brother killed that peasant. Then my brother was taken and trialed in the city before long. I didn’t go to that trail, and I never wanted to hear a word about him.
  
  The End:
  I thought I would be the first one to die, but I lived until the end. I thought perhaps it was the weird definition that weird sign gave me. However absurd those things were in town, I could still live on in this pressing life. I thought maybe that was absurd too. I would like to write my name on my gravestone, not the name I had, but: ‘Eltan Renaxy’.

  中文翻译:
  1)Intro
  别人都说Shles的精神有问题,他时而狂燥,时而忧伤。有一天, 他杀掉了自己的老婆,血流得满地都是,他用废报纸慌乱地擦着地板。并关上门窗。跑到了“我”的家里,我看他满头冷汗,为他倒上一杯热开水,他开始为“我”讲这个镇上的故事,因为Shels言语顺序混淆,语速奇怪,那些故事在“我”的内心里显得更为荒诞。
  2)A Ballad
  “我”是镇上的一个老师,我在课堂上总爱给学生们讲一些故事,这个歌曲是“我”喜欢给朋友唱起的,那些人物有些是我的朋友,有些是我的亲人,我有些时候真想不通为什么我周边的人总演绎着奇怪的故事。
  3)Renaxy
  这是奇怪的一天,我带着学生们去郊外游玩,来到一个美丽的山洞子,洞口布满了绿草,还开了美妙的野花。孩子们在洞口野炊。而我却进入了洞子,在火把的光亮下,我看见了洞里歪斜地写着这样一排字母“Renaxy”,我不知道它代表什么,我只是写在了我的本子上。但我仍然记得那些字母在那一瞬间给我带来的恐惧。那种气息压在我胸口,让我很难摆脱。
  4)Jordi
  Jordi是Shels的女儿,Shels每次给我谈论起她,总是要哭,而且哭得很厉害。自从她父亲杀了她母亲,Judy就离开了她父亲。听说来到了另一个小镇,嫁给了一个穷工人。Judy有着美丽的姿色和骚人的眼睛。可那穷工人总无法满足Judy无限的欲望,而穷工人的,长时间来,他丈夫的哥哥总在深夜里召唤Jordi,并和她做爱。Judy的叫声是那么清脆,为整个村庄压抑的夜里吐沫上了一层灰色的色彩。但Jordi内心很痛苦,她想逃。有天有人说她逃到了山里去了,可他丈夫找到了她,打了她,并Fuck了她。
  5)Lorida
  听着Shels讲起她的女儿,我想起了我自己的女儿Lorida,我和她妈妈是在一个麦田里结婚的。我永远记得她出生的那天。记得她的皮肤和头发。可她还是离开了我们,她和一个皮肤黝黑的男人跑了,所谓那永恒的爱情,在我看来只是荒诞的传奇而已。我还是想我的女儿的。在梦里,我总是恐惧,因为总有Lorida的声音,我不知道她是否是死了。但我有种这样奇怪的感觉。
  6)Maria
  Maira是我们镇上一个很美丽的女人,由于爱情的挫折,她不相信男人。她从来不缺少男人,但听说在高潮的时候,她总会让那些男人短气。因为她住在郊外,所以,一切都是听说,她是个美丽得可怕的女人,Shles说她和他上过床,那女人的屋子里总有一股人血的味道。
  7)Shels
  Shels是我的朋友,我们喜欢在一起聊着是, 他总是告诉我他能飞。我一直都不相信,我也没看见过,他最终还是走了,没有人知道他去了哪里?连他自己也不清楚,他妻子怎么死的?
  8)Karffen
  Karffen是我的弟弟,他有个傻儿子,但他却很爱他。妻子的过早离去,使得他成了一个酒鬼,还有一些莫名其妙的性让他找不到自己。他不允许我们说他孩子的任何,我知道弟弟是个好强的人,一个老农夫有天讽刺了他儿子是傻子,孩子没听懂,哈哈笑了,而当天夜里,弟弟杀了这老农民,弟弟被抓走了,不久就被送到了城里作出了审判,我没去参加那次审判,我再也不想有他的任何信息。
  9)The End
  我以为我会是最先死的人,但我却活到了最后,我想也许是那个奇怪的字符给了我奇怪的定义。镇上发生了这么多荒诞的事情,而我却在这样压抑的生活里能继续生活下去,我想这或许本身也是一件奇怪的事情。我想在我的墓碑上写上我的名字,而不是现在的名字,而是:Eltan Reanxy
