Heart of Gold(美丽心灵)- Neil Young

然后我又猛省到自己也属于古往今来最大的一个弱势群体,就是沉默的大多数。这些人保持沉默的原因多种多样,有些人没能力,或者没有机会说话;还有一些人,因为种种原因,对于话语的世界有某种厌恶之情。——王小波

一支锈迹斑斑的老枪,一把哀怨苍凉的口琴,一位在世的grunge“教父”,这就是我们心目中的Neil Young。少有端坐的Neil Young,一脸沉思相,冷酷的墨镜和夹克,似乎很难和他舞台上疯狂拨动吉它的形象相连。不过,这也许正是Neil Young在根源与激进、民谣和朋克之间自如来去的缘由吧。
这张出版于1972年的《HARVEST》的专辑近乎完美,当年极为畅销。不过切不可因其曾热卖而认为它不值一听,大部分听过它的人都会被打动。这张专辑在滚石杂志选出的500张历代最强专辑中排名第78位。好的音乐将超越主流、非主流,地上、地下的界限。专辑中最出色的歌曲应属《HEART OF GOLD》,这首歌扑面而来的是锋利的可以挥割一切的吉他以及如同涨满风帆的口琴,气势磅礴。歌曲的旋律简洁优美,歌词明快诚挚,不禁使人联想起那首著名的《THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND》。
“I HAVE BEEN TO HOLLYWOOD
I HAVE BEEN TO REDWOOD
I CROSS THE OCEAN FOR A HEART OF GOLD
I HAVE BEEN IN MY MIND,IT IS SUCH A FINE LINE
IT KEEPS ME SEARCHING FOR A HEART OF GOLD
AND I AM GETTING OLD” 节选自《HEART OF GOLD》
这首歌复活了流淌于那些美国早期飘流者血液中坚定、乐观的精神。(网络整理)

试听:Heart of Gold - Neil Young

歌词:
i want to live,
i want to give
i've been a miner for a heart of gold.
it's these expressions i never give
that keep me searching for a heart of gold
and i'm getting old.
and i'm getting old.

i've been to hollywood
i've been to redwood
i crossed the ocean for a heart of gold
i've been in my mind, it's such a fine line
that keeps me searching for a heart of gold
and i'm getting old.
keeps me searching for a heart of gold
and i'm getting old.
keep me searching for a heart of gold
you keep me searching for a heart of gold
i've been a miner for a heart of gold.
keeps me searching for a heart of gold
