– Yes! – Coldplay.
最佳英国专辑

酷玩乐队
我本来打心眼里觉得
and I’d had this feeling inside me
那会是我一生中最棒的一天
that it should be the best day of my life,
而我却感觉疲惫不堪
but I just felt so totally exhausted.
最佳英国乐队
酷玩乐队
这段记忆一点也不愉快
It was not a happy memory at all.
这是我们身上发生的最奇怪的事
This is the weirdest thing that’s ever happened to us.
我们满足了 所以非常感谢你们
And we’re really made up. So thank you very much.
但是之后我回来了
But then I came back
我们制♥作♥《脑溢血》
and we made A Rush of Blood to the Head.
压力要比之前制♥作♥第一首时更大
That was even more stressful than the first one
我和克里斯的关系又很紧张
and my relationship with Chris in particular was quite strained
有些东西不得不放弃
and something had to give.
我会放下我的骄傲
但是你要听听他想说的 别
我不想跟他吵
我不想 这么吵不是我的风格
我觉得歌♥手和经纪人之间的关系很微妙
I think the dynamic between singer and manager is a specific one,
而且不是很适合我们之间的友谊
and it just didn’t really suit our friendship.
所以我退出
So I quit.
菲尔有点心力交瘁了
Phil got a bit burnt out
强尼
想做点不一样的事
and wanted to do something different.
他搬家了 觉得离我们越远越好
He moved almost as far away from us as he possibly could
先是去南美 然后是澳大利亚
by going to South America and then Australia.
我觉得他是要告诉我们点什么
I think he was trying to tell us something.
他没有和我们一起制♥作♥那张专辑
He wasn’t with us for one album,
威尔
那也是我们真正想他的时候
and that was when we sorely missed him.
我们做的决定都不尽如人意
We made decisions that weren’t as good as they could’ve been.
我们似乎要放弃了
We seem to sort of give up before we’ve…
不是 只是 那个听着合适吗
No, it’s just… Does that sound right?
我不知道 那是对的部分吗
I don’t understand. Is that the right pattern?
我觉得那段时间我们做得很不好
I don’t think we were very functional in that period.
强尼
我觉得我们有点偏离正轨
I think we lost our way a bit, yes.
我们对于要做一张精良专辑
I think we felt a lot of pressure
盖伊
感觉压力山大
to make some kind of grand album.
酷玩乐队 百代唱片利润暴跌的罪魁祸首
有一些奇奇怪怪的标题即将出版
There were strange headlines in the press
当今世界的最大恶魔
关于百代唱片的股价之类的事情
about the EMI share price and all of that stuff.
百代唱片的未来在酷玩乐队手中
那时候我们甚至连股价是什么都不知道
We didn’t even know what a share price was back then.
我们日复一日的一事无成
We spent day after day after day of getting nowhere.
表现出上瘾 表现出紧张
It came out in addictions and it came out in tension,
克里斯
那段时间真的是太难了
and at the time, it was a real struggle.
一年之后 我们还是一事无成
One year later and we’ve got precisely nothing finished.
真♥他♥妈♥傻♥逼♥ 操蛋
What a fucking cunt. Bollocks!
别把吵架拍进去
And you don’t film any of the arguments.
有很多疑问
There was a lot of questioning,
比如”要做这么吗 要做那个吗”
like, “Should we do this, should we do that?”
就是一坨臭狗屎
So, it’s shite.
我们得重新开始
We have to start all of it again.
我们搞砸了
We’ve lost the plot!
我当时太在意别人的想法了
I was so worried about what everyone else thought.
我们完全是在拖延时间
We just totally spun out, you know.
你想让我怎么做
So, what do you want me to do, then?
通常来说 乐队越大
In general, the bigger you get as a band,
威尔
你身边的机械设备就会越多 越高级
all the kind of machinery around you gets bigger and bigger
更多的东西会妨碍到四个人
and there’s more things to get in the way of just four people
单纯地玩音乐
playing music together.
《What If》——Coldplay
*如果不是你想的那样*
*What if you got it wrong*
不不不
No, no, no.
你得这样 那一小节
You’ve gotta do that… thing for that verse.
那是我们第一次遇到这种状况
That was the first time we’d been in that situation
不知道怎么对付那么多设备
and didn’t know how to deal with all of that stuff.
如果菲尔在的话 情况可能会有所不同
If Phil had been around, it might have been different.
这是正常的 对吗
That’s just normal, is it?
如果不行的话 我很抱歉
我可以用”莱昂纳多”这个词吧
只要不是说迪卡普里奥[小李子]就好
就是在说他
我还是觉得不行
你觉得不行
不行
他妈搞什么 哥们
你们两个毙掉了我所有的歌♥词
我现在唱不了任何东西 任何人
我就是觉得有点奇怪
在歌♥里写到小李子
你打算说他的什么
说他看到了规律
哪里的规律
夜空中的星星
那不是伽利略吗
你不让我唱任何名词或者物品
You don’t let me sing any nouns or things.
没有不让你写
任何是物品的东西都不能写
Like anything that’s a thing is immediately banned.
没有啊
该死的名词狂热者
讨厌重复段的人
还有自♥由♥发挥 你讨厌重复 自♥由♥发挥和名词
And freedom. You hate riffs, freedom and nouns.
我讨厌吉他手和歌♥手
我讨厌这两个名词
我可以先过一遍吗 我已经懵了
我想创作过程绝对是做每张唱片中
I think the process was probably
强尼
最不愉快的一段时间了
the least enjoyable of all our records, definitely.
那段时间我们经历了很他妈差劲的事
We were going through some weird shit that time.
克里斯
但戴夫很棒
But Dave was amazing,
幸运的是我们创作了《Fix You》这首歌♥
and luckily we had the song “Fix You”
陪伴我们度过了那段时期
to get us through that period.
你最后唱的是什么 那段歌♥词是什么
What’s that you sing at the end? What are the lyrics?
当你流下无法抑制的泪水
Tears stream down your face
当你承受难以弥补的缺憾
when you lose something you can’t replace.
当你流下无法抑制的泪水 而我我我…
Tears stream down your face and I, I, I, I, I…
对
Right.
-是的 -这词很烂吗
– Yeah. – Is that shit?
没有 听起来挺好的
No, it sounds good.
我只是想能不能让它
I just was wondering if it could be sort of
变得更有逻辑一点
made into something which makes a bit more sense.
你能把混响调轻一点吗
Can you take a tiny bit of reverb off?
可以了 谢谢
That’s cool, thanks.
《Fix You》——Coldplay
*当你已经拼尽全力却仍然一无所获*
*When you try your best but you don’t succeed*
*当你以为得偿所愿却只是一场误会*
*When you get what you want but not what you need*
*当你感到疲惫不堪却不得一刻喘息 *
*When you feel so tired but you can’t sleep*
*也许还会更糟一些*
*It could be worse*
*会有灯光指引你回家的路*
*Cause lights will guide you home*
*会有希望振作你倦怠的心*
*And ignite your bone*
*会有我治愈受伤的你*
*And I will try to fix you*
《X&Y》扭曲逻辑巡回演唱会
*当你流下无法抑制的泪水*
*Tears stream down your face*
*当你承受难以弥补的缺憾*
*When you lose something you can’t replace*
*当你流下无法抑制的泪水*
*Tears stream down your face and I*
*会有灯光指引你回家的路*
*Lights will guide you home*
*会有希望振作你疲惫的心*
*And ignite your bones*
*会有我治愈受伤的你*
*And I will try to fix you*
那是我对别人不喜欢我们的乐队
That’s the most self-conscious I’ve ever been
克里斯
感到最局促不安的一段时间
about people not liking what we were doing
因为我都不确定自己是否喜欢
because I wasn’t really sure if I liked it.
那是挺奇怪的一段时间
It was a strange period of time.
强尼
你读到的一些批评的话语
When you read something that is critical,
《纽♥约♥时♥报♥》评
十年来最令人难以忍♥受的乐队
会比别人的夸赞
you always give it much more weight
留下更刻骨铭心的感受
than anything you read that’s kind.
他们可以长篇大论地表扬你
And they can write a whole article that’s nice
和他们浮夸 精心策划的自怜行为
艾伦·麦吉评价: 给那些尿床小孩听的音乐
只有一行说你很烂
and just have one line that’s a bit shitty,
你只会记得那一行
and that’s the only line you’ll remember.
创造唱片公♥司♥的艾伦·麦吉
Alan McGee of Creation Records
说你们的音乐是给还会尿床的孩子听的
