誰是Bright Eyes?我想張鐵志先生的這篇文章已說明的很清楚。
樂團主腦Conor Oberst是一個不屈服於商業體制運作的獨立音樂人,這個長相斯文清秀的小伙子,被媒體喻為是這個時代的Bob Dylan。


這首First Day of My Life用一把木吉他唱出了最純粹的音樂,歌詞也很溫馨寫實,如此貼近聽歌者的內心。
最近整個人陷入了民謠的魔力之中,一曲簡單輕鬆的旋律竟然能讓人情緒一下子澎湃起來。
就像最近發片的張懸(我的最愛!),還有Josh Ritter的《The Animal Years》(台灣環球發行),幾首簡單的歌(還是跟金曲歌王的創作不太同調),卻讓我反覆的聽了好幾次也不覺得膩。
雖然張懸的《My Life Will...》這張專輯在編曲方面十方成功,我自己也相當喜歡這張專輯的編曲,讓整張專輯散發出一種大氣,彷彿黃袍加身一樣。
不過,張懸最令人稱道的,仍然是她的現場表演。褪下華麗的包裝,剩下的就是她的歌聲和她的吉他,這時候更能直接感受到音樂人和音樂結合的力量,聽她的現場演唱實在是一件很幸福的事,acoustic的表演讓人深深感受到音樂的本質是如此美好。


Bright Eyes的這首單曲也一樣,簡單的音樂加上簡單的歌詞,卻讓人知道創作人有多聰明。
music video給人同樣的感覺,幾乎只有一個固定的場景,甚至不用製造情節,這些形形色色的人們一出現,我們立刻就能猜想到他們背後的故事了。
導演很精準的拍出了這首歌的感覺,這就是創作者的敏銳度嗎?Bright Eyes其他支MV也同樣屬於這種簡約風格,但都有著很強的力量。


反璞歸真、反璞歸真,真的很重要,凡事但求從心出發吧!生活中最美好的表情莫過於一個淡淡的微笑了。


不過別以為Conor Oberst就是一個溫文儒雅的文藝青年,他也有很叛客的一面哪!他在台上演唱時瘋起來的樣子,可不輸高唱美國大白癡的Green Day主唱Billy Joe呢!



This is the first day of my life
I swear I was born right in the doorway
I went out in the rain suddenly everything changed
They're spreading blankets on the beach

Yours is the first face that I saw
I think I was blind before I met you
Now I don’t know where I am
I don’t know where I’ve been
But I know where I want to go

And so I thought I’d let you know
That these things take forever
I especially am slow
But I realize that I need you
And I wondered if I could come home

Remember the time you drove all night
Just to meet me in the morning
And I thought it was strange you said everything changed
You felt as if you had just woke up
And you said “this is the first day of my life
I’m glad I didn’t die before I met you
But now I don’t care I could go anywhere with you
And I’d probably be happy”

So if you want to be with me
With these things there’s no telling
We just have to wait and see
But I’d rather be working for a paycheck
Than waiting to win the lottery
Besides maybe this time is different
I mean I really think you like me
