    Perfect Day + One Blood

    1972年,Lou Reed(劳-里德)写下了“Perfact Day”。

    1996年,英国导演Danny Boyle(丹尼·鲍尔 )在电影《猜火车》里用这段音乐表现主人公吸毒后那轻飘飘的幻觉。

    1997年,BBC邀请包括Lou Reed、Bono、David Bowie、Elton John等29位艺人共同演唱这首歌,并制作了一个视频用于宣传慈善活动:“Children In Need”。这就是这段视频:http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMjg1NzU0OA==.html

    在其后的许多年里,这首歌多次被翻唱,有许多版本流传。然而,毫无疑问,1997年的这个版本是最精彩的、独一无二的。

    当音乐配上视频,总会带来不一样的效果。音乐变得更动听,视频也更加煽情。就如同Terence Jay 的《One Blood》,出现在电影《足球流氓》里的效果。

    Perfact Day 的歌词乍看很简单,通常被认为是Lou Reed为其未婚妻所写的一首浪漫情歌。但若结合音乐来听,我却听出了一种深沉的怀旧情绪,一种理想主义的无奈。多么完美的一天啊,现世的混沌和污浊不再存在,我们只是单纯的呆在一起,逛动物园,看电影,一起回家。如果我们是someone else多好,someone good多好,可是,完美终究是不存在的!

    类似的情绪,在另外一个音乐家那里另有一番表述。(待续)
