最爱之一《runaway train》
SOUL ASYLUM[float=right][url=http://imgsrc.baidu.com/baike/pic/item/9252ae7ee1e5422b0cd7dadd.jpg][img]http://imgsrc.baidu.com/baike/abpic/item/9252ae7ee1e5422b0cd7dadd.jpg[/img][/url][/float]这支成立于1983年的另类摇滚乐队，成立时乐队奠定的风格是暴躁的朋克和硬摇滚风格，在当时美国众多的此类型地下乐队中并没有脱颖而出，乐队的几张专辑也并没有引起怎样的轰动，由于长期排练和演出中巨大声响的侵害，主音吉他兼主唱David Pirner〔大卫.皮尔纳〕的耳朵失聪了，然而即使如此，他也并没有放弃对音乐的执著追求，而且因祸得福，他们开始排练一些原声的作品，却取得了无以伦比的成功。1992年，他们推出的一张专辑《Grave Dancers Union》〔凄惨舞者联盟〕，一张深沉而不失柔情的原声专辑刚一登榜就引起了从乐评者到普通乐迷的巨大惊喜，专辑中的很多作品都是经典之作，而《runaway train》〔迷失列车〕更成为世界级的摇滚经典。这首《runaway train》堪称Soul Asylum的扛鼎之作，这是首描写失踪儿童问题的作品，在清脆干净的吉他、不动声色的鼓点伴奏下，主唱皮尔纳沧桑沙哑的嗓音从喉底或者说从心底吟出最深沉的悲愤与控诉，悲伤和愤怒的极致通常不是血泪泣诉或狂吼一气，而是近乎平和的，淡淡的陈述，而这却更容易渗入听者的心底。心随着略含悲意的音乐起伏，似乎看到了失去亲生儿女的母亲那无助、失神的目光。 “RUNAWAYTRAIN”是一首既好听又有好的寓意的警世之作。Soul Asylum是一支有自已独特音乐风格的乐队，你很容易将他们与其他的同类乐队区分开来。朴实、温馨、充满着灵气、诚意，以及正义感。 call you up in the middle of the night
like a firefly without a light
you were there like a slow torch burning
i was a key that could use a little turning
so tired that i couldn't even sleep
so many secrets i couldn't keep
promised myself i wouldn't weep
one more promise i couldn't keep
it seems no one can help me now
i'm in too deep
there's no way out
this time i have really led myself astray
chorus
runaway train never going back
wrong way on a one way track
seems like i should be getting somewhere
somehow i'm neither here no there
can you help me remember how to smile
make it somehow all seem worthwhile
how on earth did i get so jaded
life's mystery seems so faded
i can go where no one else can go
i know what no one else knows
here i am just drownin' in the rain
with a ticket for a runaway train
everything is cut and dry
day and night, earth and sky
somehow i just don't believe it
chorus
bought a ticket for a runaway train
like a madman laughin' at the rain
little out of touch, little insane
just easier than dealing with the pain
runaway train never comin' back
runaway train tearin' up the track
runaway train burnin' in my veins
runaway but it always seems the same
