Closing Time--年初六


1973年,1949出生的Tom Waits发表首张专辑《Closing Time》的时候声音已经有点像饱经沧桑的中年男子了.然而歌词还不如后来那么的老谋深算,敏捷机智,玩世不恭.而正是这样我们得以听到他难得的清纯的一面,这样一个带点忧郁的男人,带点隐忍味道,但又不是机智得让你难以捉摸的的男人对我而言更为亲切和动人.年初6的下午,就这样一边看着cnbeta,一边浸在他的民谣之中.

特别喜欢的是这首:
艺术家:Tom Waits
标题:Ol' '55
专辑:Closing Time
Well my time went so quickly, I went lickety-splickly out to my old '55
As I drove away slowly, feeling so holy, God knows, I was feeling alive.

Now the sun's coming up, I'm riding with Lady Luck, freeway cars and trucks,
Stars beginning to fade, and I lead the parade
Just a-wishing I'd stayed a little longer,
Oh, Lord, let me tell you that the feeling's getting stronger.

And it's six in the morning, gave me no warning; I had to be on my way.
Well there's trucks all a-passing me, and the lights are all flashing,
I'm on my way home from your place.

And now the sun's coming up, I'm riding with Lady Luck, freeway cars and trucks,
Stars beginning to fade, and I lead the parade
Just a-wishing I'd stayed a little longer,
Oh, Lord, let me tell you that the feeling's getting stronger.

And my time went so quickly, I went lickety-splickly out to my old '55
As I pulled away slowly, feeling so holy, God knows, I was feeling alive.

Now the sun's coming up, I'm riding with Lady Luck,
Freeway cars and trucks, freeway cars and trucks, freeway cars and trucks...

ps:1973的音乐我今天听来居然一点也不觉得老气,是音乐本身还是我的自身因素?留下一下小小的疑问
