SONG OF THE WEEK #7: Anger Management by Lovage

上周的 “Crik Crak” 很欢快哈？这周来首萎靡点的。哈哈，我自己不萎靡，只是这首歌很好听而已。

日美混血儿 Dan the Automator（原名丹尼尔·中村[Daniel Nakamura]，亦名内森尼尔·梅里维瑟[Nathaniel Merriweather]），从小因家庭熏陶而接受古典音乐教育，并习小提琴，青春期时却受到 Hip-Hop、R&B 和摇滚乐的“不良”影响，90年代因参与了 Hip-Hop 概念团体 Dr. Octogan 的制作而成名。这孩子，真能捣腾，除了把英式 Trip-Hop 加入了 Hip-Hop，自己还去给其他一些摇滚乐队做过制作人，比如1997年 Cornershop 那张极其优秀的《When I Was Born for the 7th Time》，后来他又和人组过 Hip-Hop 乐队和摇滚乐队，最近比较出名的参与，是他和 Blur 才华乱溅的 Damon Albarn 合组了卡通乐队 Gorillaz。

Lovage 是 Dan the Automator 组织的一个只发行了一张专辑的乐队，里面的人，不是搞 Hip-Hop DJ 的，就是玩摇滚的（比如 Faith No More 的主音男和 Elysian Field 的主音女），结果搞出来的是一个极其萎靡、但好听的、有着极强 Serge Gainsbourg 风格的 Trip-Hop 专辑。这哥们儿太搞了。

今天放的这首 “Anger Management”，就是Lovage在2001年发行的专辑《Music To Make Love To Your Old Lady》里面的一首。

Title: Anger Management
Artist: Lovage
Album: Music To Make Love To Your Old Lady
Year: 2001

My inner demons compel me to be here
Your cheeks are flush like rose petals
You're consumed with rage but I'm consumed with you

Our eyes intertwine through the haze
Intoxicated by your bloodshot stare
In all of my dreams I never thought I'd see
A face that could launch a thousand ships

And the music was like wind in your hair
The moonlight caressed your silhouette
Kiss of ocean mist is in the air
Why must God punish me this way

Lay down my hand the next move is yours
As you undress me with your frozen eyes
In all of my dreams I never thought I'd see
An endless love to share my blue lagoon

And the music was like wind in your hair
The moonlight caressed your silhouette
Kiss of ocean mist is in the air
Why must God punish me this way

Happiness is hard to come by
But I've had my fair share
The satin sheets, the lemon peels
The minor keys, the major pills
We've climbed the mountain, saw the top
And planted the apple seed
And can't you see we could've had it all

And the music was like wind in your hair
The moonlight caressed your silhouette
Kiss of ocean mist is in the air
Why must God punish me this way

And the music was like wind in your hair
The moonlight caressed your silhouette
Kiss of ocean mist is in the air
Why must God punish me this way
Why must God punish me this way
This way, this way, this way ...
