骤看起来,NickCave就像足一个准备向你家门大闸泼油或在外墙写大字的‘收数佬’,但只要你听过他的音乐,心和神都会突然被摄住。他是一个真真正正的音乐诗人,或许,只有美国的Bob
Dylan和加拿大的Leonard Cohen可与这个来自澳洲的才子相提并论。
经历过十一张大碟之后,NickCave和他的大乐队TheBadSeeds依然维持一种大城市小人物的伤感。这种伤感,遍布在《NoMoreShallWePart》十二首作品,由悠扬的钢琴和诗意的歌词浪漫化。
四十四岁的NickCave或多或少有着点点的中年危机,戾气变成怨气,但他的怨,还是美不胜收的。
‘ As I Sat Sadly By Her Side, At The Window, Through The Glass,
- She Stroked A Kitten In Her Lap, And We Watched The World As It Fell Past …… ’
(〈 As I Sat Sadly By Her Side 〉 ) 。 阅历只有令NickCave的文字更具感情也更加感染。
96年推出的《MurderBallads》,令到NickCave进入主流,也令到KylieMinogue碱鱼翻生,但继翌年的《TheBoatman'sCall》之后,他只一口气推出两张SpokenWord作品,一别五年,《NoMoreShallWePart》几乎可跟《MurderBallads》分庭抗礼,实在是一个惊喜。难得的是,此碟除了是一张Album-oriented的唱片,还有突出的单曲,〈AsISatSadlyByHerSide〉令你心痛了吗?〈DarkerWithTheDay〉更会叫你彻底溶掉。
王家卫若不是只搜集旧歌,这张唱片实在是个不俗的选择。
All beauty must die
Where The Wild Roses Grow They call me The Wild Rose But my name
was Elisa Day Why they call me it I do not know For my name was Elisa Day
From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one She stared in my eyes
and smiled For her lips were the colour of the roses That grew down the
river, all bloody and wild When he knocked on my door and entered the
room My trembling subsided in his sure embrace He would be my first man,
and with a careful hand He wiped at the tears that ran down my face
Chorus On the second day I brought her a flower She was more
beautiful than any woman I'd seen I said, "Do you know where the wild roses
grow So sweet and scarlet and free?" On the second day he came with a
single red rose Said: "Will you give me your loss and your sorrow" I
nodded my head, as I lay on the bed He said, "If I show you the roses, will
you follow?" Chorus On the third day he took me to the river He
showed me the roses and we kissed And the last thing I heard was a muttered
word As he knelt (stood smiling) above me with a rock in his fist On the
last day I took her where the wild roses grow And she lay on the bank, the
wind light as a thief And I kissed her goodbye, said, "All beauty must
die" And lent down and planted a rose between her teeth Chorus
