Nirvana

Nirvana指的是涅盤，翻譯成超脫合唱團
今天偶然聽到他們的歌，驚為天人!

從知識家查到:
從60s 藍調搖滾的興起到70s punk rock的革命
80s 重金屬樂團百花齊放(Bon Jovi,Guns N' Roses)再到 90s Grunge

而音樂市場的演變都具有他不同時期的意義
nirvana帶領著Grunge的興起 我想主要是當80s重金屬在音樂市場上被過度包裝及消費後...
到nirvana有著不一樣的聲音出現後很自然的喧告了重金屬時代已經結束了...

smells like teen spirit 這首歌之所以這麼紅?
除了音樂嚷嚷上口的旋律外，
重點是在那個年代這首歌的歌詞實在寫的太真實了...觸動著當代的青少年們!!

他們成軍於1987年
我聽到的是1991年的專輯Nevermind裡面的Lounge Act
可惜的是主唱Kurt Cobain在1994年舉槍自盡(而且是用散彈槍...)年僅28歲。

他們最有名的歌曲就是上文提到的Smells Like Teen Spirit,
同樣來自Nevermind這張專輯，
但歌詞寫實? 副歌是蠻好聽的啦，但...

Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit (live 1991)


Load up on guns
Bring your friends
It's fun to lose
And to pretend
She's over bored
And self assured
Oh no, I know
A dirty word

Hello, how low?

With the lights out
it's less dangerous
Here we are now
Entertain us
I feel stupid
and contagious
Here we are now
Entertain us

節錄一段就好，當時人到底在想什麼呢這歌詞很貼近?
感覺比較像無意識的呢喃啊...
anyway,我還是覺得我最初聽到的那首最讚

Nirvana - Lounge Act


Truth covered in security
I can't let you smother me
I'd like to but it wouldn't work
Trading off and taking turns
I don't regret a thing

I've got this friends, you see
Who makes me feel
And I wanted more
Than I could steal
I'll arrest myself
And wear a shield
I'll go out of my way
To prove I still
Smell her on you

Don't, tell me what I wanna hear
Afraid of never knowing fear
Experience anything you need
I'll keep fighting jealousy
Until iti's fucking gone

I've got this friend, you see
Who makes me feel
And I wanted more
Than I could steal
I'll arrest myself
And wear a shield
I'll go out of my way
To prove I still
Smell her on you

後來一下午就這樣沉迷於搖滾樂了，
也去把以前聽的Bon Jovi都抓回來...
還有Pink Floyd,The Eagles,
接下來要找Guns N'Roses,Queen,Rolling Stones

嘻哈樂的歌詞口味太重了不喜歡，老搖滾才是王道!
