我就是觉得你可以

别为了那些不属于你的观众,去演绎不擅长的人生。——张德芬《遇见未知的自己》

Walking In London
曲名:Someday?
歌手:Concrete Blonde
所属专辑:Walking In London
发行年代:1992
风格:另类摇滚
介绍:金发异端乐队,1986年,Johnette Napolitano(贝司兼主唱)和吉他手James mankey,鼓手Harry Rushakoff一起离开了家乡洛杉矶,来到好莱坞,他们在这里签了I.R.S.唱片公司,七年之内,他们出了5张专辑,后解散,1997年重组。他们的音乐以主唱Johnette Napolitano孤傲强硬的的嗓音和Jim Markey炽热的弗拉门戈吉他构成特色。他们是1990年代初美国另类摇滚乐潮流中别致而出色的一支。

《Walking In London》这张问世于1992年的完美专辑,畅快淋漓的表达了Johnette Napolitano火与冰的不死情结,结实有力的鼓与贝司伴随着嘹亮的女高音,沿着那条Concrete Blonde合力织结的金发异端,有力地铺设了一条遥望未来的澎湃之路。

如果说某些女性的豪气要比之那些外强中干的男人更胜一筹,那么主唱Johnette Napolitano应该是最不可忽略的一个。她不单是歌者,还是一个才华横溢的女诗人,这是一种激情与感性交融的情感,她有着连绵不绝的爱,尽管大部分人的爱因为血肉的缺失而有些干涩,而她的喉咙发出的热音也往往撕裂了内心对生活对爱的赤诚。吸引我的还有她生生不息的音乐和如诗的歌词。这样的音乐并不会让你起舞,也不是排行榜的宠儿,它们并不是为了获得最大的荣誉而做的。

做一个最好的你

文/道格拉斯·玛拉赫,译/胡彬

如果无法成为山顶上屹立的青松,
就当山谷中的小树吧,
让自己成为溪边最美的小树。

如果无法成为小树,
又何妨做一丛快乐的灌木。
如果无法成为灌木,
就当摇曳的小草吧,
让道路因你的存在而更加美妙。

如果无法成为大狼鱼,
就当一条小鲈鱼吧,
让自己成为湖中最活泼的小鲈鱼。

不可能人人都是船长,水手也有水手的精彩;
在这世界上,每个人都能找到自己的天地。
有宏伟大业,也有琐碎小事,
无论大小,做最适合你的事吧。

无法成为大道,就做小径;
无法成为太阳,就做星辰;
成功与失败不以大小决定,
只在于活出最好的自己,找到自己的使命!

Be The Best Of Whatever You Are

Douglas Malloch

If you can't be a pine on the top of the hill,
Be a scrub in the valley — but be
The best little scrub by the side of the rill;
Be a bush if you can't be a tree.

If you can't be a bush be a bit of the grass,
And some highway happier make;
If you can't be a muskie then just be a bass —
But the liveliest bass in the lake!

We can't all be captains, we've got to be crew,
There's something for all of us here,
There's big work to do, and there's lesser to do,
And the task you must do is the near.

If you can't be a highway then just be a trail,
If you can't be the sun be a star;
It isn't by size that you win or you fail —
Be the best of whatever you are!
