加班之余,为演出找点灵感。
西蒙和加芬克尔的这首歌让多少人沉醉,当然也包括我,尤其是在这无声的夜晚。
歌词如下:
1:
Hello darkness, my old friend / I’ve come to talk with you again
哈罗,黑夜,我的老朋友,我又来找你聊天了
Because a vision softly creeping / Left its seeds while I was sleeping
因为有个幻影无声无息的爬过,趁我熟睡时留下了种子
And the vision that was planted in my brain / still remain within the sound of silence
这幻影,灌输在我脑海里,依然存留着寂静无声的此刻
2:
In restless dreams I walked alone / Narrow streets of cobblestone
在无数浮躁的梦中我独自前行在鹅卵石铺就的狭窄街道上
Neath the halo of a street lamp / I turned my collar to the cold and damp
头顶上街灯的光晕将我笼罩,我翻起衣领以抵御此夜的寒冷及潮湿
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light that split the night / and touched the sound of silence
当我的眼睛被霓虹灯的闪烁刺通时,它也划破了夜空,打破了黑夜的沉静
3:
And in the naked light I saw / Ten thousand people, maybe more
在裸露的光线下 我看到数以万计或许更多的人
People talking without speaking / People hearing without listening
有的人聊天而不谈心,有的人在漫不经心地听着别人说
People writing songs that voices never share / No one dare disturb the sound of silence
有人在写着从不会被传唱的歌,但没人敢于去打破这份静默
4:
“Fools” said I, “You do not know silence like a cancer grows”
我说 愚蠢的人啊 你不知道寂静会像癌症一样扩散吗
Hear my words that I might teach you / Take my arms that I might reach to you
听我的话,我才会教导你;抓紧我的手,我才能救你
But my words like silent as raindrops fell / And echoed in the wells of silence
但是我的话却如寂静无声的雨点落下,回荡在这无声的天井中
5:
And the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made.
人们对着自制的神像顶礼膜拜
And the sign flashed out its warning / And the words that it was forming
霓虹灯突然闪烁出警兆,警告的语句渐渐成型
And the sign said: “The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls / And tenement halls
预兆显示 先知的预言都被写在地铁的墙上和廉价公寓的大厅中
And whispered in the sounds of silence.”
这告诫也在无声的静默中被轻声传送
这是我在团里第一次正式演出里的一首歌。十分顺利地在团里请到了泽帅来吉他演奏,小朋友很主动很靠谱。昨晚加练又听了元标和胜寒的合声,比当年的我们好了许多。但还是想做得更多,突破多一些。
找了几个参考:
SBMP(santa barbara music publishing)版: solo+TTBB
网址:http://sbmp.com/STM.php?CatalogNumber=1367
音频下载:ed1_the_sound_of_silence
这一版较规整,没有出现原版的低声部。:比较喜欢
- 第二段前部的淡淡合声
- 第三段前的逐次进入
- 第四段前两句
- 第五段(and the sign flashed那一句)的效果,合声有推动感
阿卡版1-JHU AllNighters - ICCA
JHU: John Hopkins University,在美国华盛顿特区巴尔的摩,是邓指毕业的大学,膜拜一下
AllNighters是jhu内一个阿卡团体,感谢给我们分享这个视频的上传人wonderofchill,据说以前是北大外院的学长,看似在jhu念音乐。
