音乐随身听:

【民谣流行】Suzanne Vega - In Liverpool   

尽管已年过半百,依旧维持姣好容颜与窈窕身形的Suzanne Vega,出道至今25年不变的纯净嗓音,秉持一贯民谣作风,捕捉现代都会女性的知性、感性、浪漫、情爱、孤单和恐惧。

Suzanne Vega ,80年代民谣运动复兴的领军人物,经常怀抱着木吉它出没于 Greenwich 村的俱乐部,唱着那经由她自己改编的黑人布鲁斯歌曲及现代民谣歌曲。

 《In Liverpool》

In Liverpool
On Sunday
No traffic
On the avenue
The light is pale and thin
Like you
No sound, down
In this part of town
Except for the boy in the belfry
He's crazy, he's throwing himself
Down from the top of the tower
Like a hunchback in heaven
He's ringing the bells in the church
For the last half an hour
He sounds like he's missing something
Or someone that he knows he can't
Have now and if he isn't
I certainly am


Homesick for a clock
That told the same time
sometimes you made no sense to me
if you lie on the ground
in somebody's arms
you'll probably swallow some of their history


And the boy in the belfry
He's crazy, he's throwing himself
Down from the top of the tower
Like a hunchback in heaven
He's ringing the bells in the church
For the last half an hour
He sounds like he's missing something
Or someone that he knows he can't
Have now and if he isn't
I certainly am


I'll be the girl who sings for my supper
You'll be the monk whose forehead is high
He'll be the man who's already working
Spreading a memory all through the sky


In Liverpool
On Sunday
No reason to even remember you now


Except for the boy in the belfry
He's crazy, he's throwing himself
Down from the top of the tower
Like a hunchback in heaven
He's ringing the bells in the church
For the last half an hour
He sounds like he's missing something
Or someone that he knows he can't
Have now and if he isn't
I certainly am
