Artist:Cranberries
Album:To The Faithful Departed
It was the fearful night of December 8th
He was returning home from the studio, late
He had perceptively known that it wouldn't be nice
Because in 1980, he paid the price
John Lennon died, John Lennon died, John Lennon died
John Lennon died, John Lennon died, John Lennon died
With a Smith & Wesson, 38
John Lennon's life was no longer a debate
He should have stayed at home
he should have never cared
And the man who took his life declared, he said:
I Just Shot John Lennon!
He said: I Just Shot John Lennon!
What a sad and sorry and sickening sight
It was a sad and sorry and sickening night
Oh a sad and sorry and sickening sight
It was a sad and sorry and sickening night
I Just Shot John Lennon!
He said, I Just Shot John Lennon!
What a sad and sorry and sickening sight
It was a sad and sorry and sickening night
Oh a sad and sorry and sickening sight
It was a sad and sorry and sickening night
通过这首"I just shot John Lennon"来纪念,也许是个不错的主意,时间、人物、事件都交待清楚了哈,我开始也是从歌词才了解的。The Cranberries的Dolores她认为死亡是一件好事,可以去更好的地方,死者留下的歌曲也是可以刻骨铭心的。
言John Lennon必提The Beatles。喜欢的第一张摇滚专辑是The Beatles的Beatles 1,以及随后的Yellow Submarine。无忧无虑的情调,欢快、自由的青春活力,驱散那些陈腐、呆板的氤氲,"Lucy in the sky with diamond”、”Sgt Peeper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band”的迷幻,“把明天遥远地抛在脑后.愿你多欢乐”的不老情结。
知道John Lennon甚至要早于The Beatles,因为他太出名了,不仅是音乐,他的思想和事迹铸就了整个“列侬时代”,我们总是能听到关于他的新闻或旧闻,我甚至以为他从没有离开过。那时对于他的个人魅力和传奇色彩,理解显然是极其肤浅的。直到听过简单朴实充满理想主义的"Imagine”、真挚敏感”mind game”,浪漫主义的”love”才开始慢慢了解,John Lennon与 The Beatles风格彻底决裂,而给他如此大的转变的正是他老婆,纽约实验派艺术家Yoko Ono,大野洋子(搞不懂有的翻译的是“小野洋子”)。大部分人认为她的出现造成The Beatles时代的过早终结,但Yoko Ono当时的艺术光芒远比John Lennon闪耀的多,此两人的结合带给了John Lennon音乐生命的重生。由于多种实验艺术的引入,他的音乐更加创新、多元化,更具革命先锋性。承载了人们理想和梦幻的摇滚音乐,也被赋予了更多的内涵和意义,影响了众多后来的摇滚巨星。一个时代的终结正是新时代之门的开启。
John Lennon的摇滚诗人气质是不亚于Bob Dylan的,他在音乐、绘画、诗歌的艺术天地里历炼自己的心灵。尖锐的政治主张、对和平、平等、自由的纯真企盼,世俗的阴影赋予了他厚重的悲剧感和丰富的人生体验,这个执着追求“爱与和平”的理想主义战士,最终成为受人膜拜的摇滚“教父”。
