我把手提電話的待接鈴聲轉了做 Depeche Mode 的 People are people 都有幾個月了,早幾天有個 Depeche Mode 迷朋友打過來,之後在 MSN 有點驚訝的問我:「你是什麼時候喜歡 DM 的?」呼,我也忘記了。但我還記得,是 Strange Love 開始時那段音樂令我喜歡 DM 的。不過以大碟來計,我覺得 Black Celebration 是最好的一張。裏面的一首 A Question of Lust 的歌詞也寫得很好:


Fragile
Like a baby in your arms
Be gentle with me
I’d never willingly
Do you harm

Apologies
Are all you seem to get from me
But just like a child
You make me smile
When you care for me
And you know

It’s a question of lust
It’s a question of trust
It’s a question of not letting
What we’ve built up
Crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more
That keep us together

Independence
Is still important for us though (we realise)
It’s easy to make
The stupid mistake
Of letting go (do you know what I mean)

My weaknesses
You know each and every one (it frightens me)
But I need to drink
More than you seem to think
Before I’m anyone’s
And you know

It’s a question of lust
It’s a question of trust
It’s a question of not letting
What we’ve built up
Crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more
That keep us together

Kiss me goodbye
When I’m on my own
But you know that I’d
Rather be home

It’s a question of lust

 
很久沒有聽 OK Computer 了。早兩日放假時把自己關在房間內一次又一次的重溫這張唱片,越聽越覺得冰冷。也可能是因為近來聽得太多 Franz Ferdinand 吧,總覺得 OK Computer 好像 overproduce 了,一層一層一層又一層永無止境的 layer,每一層都是完美的,但總是欠缺了人性。可是這不就正是 OK Computer 想表達的情感嗎 ? 嗯…

還未有時間聽 She wants revenge。
