Standfast來自北欧瑞典。在他们的音乐中飘盪着一种北欧国家特有的冷冽、浪漫气息,主唱Suzanne甜如蜜糖般的嗓音搭配简約清新的吉他旋律,在喧嚷不定的流行音乐市场中,Standfast带给乐迷的是一道可以細細品尝的午后音乐甜点。甜美嗓音神似Texas女主唱Sharleen Spiteri、可人模样恰若珊卓布拉克的Suzanne Mosson这样解释Standfast团名的意义:“这个团名就像是我们的座右铭,要为自己的音乐、为自己的信仰坚持到底”。

清风一样 Standfast 《Carcrashes》
Carcrashes TV shows A drunkard on the side of the road
People running Fantasy or reality
Analysie and theories What does matter really
Tell me what to believe Won’t you bring me order
Tell me what to achieve baby So I can move forward
Tell me what to believe yeah
Carcrashes TV shows a drunkard on the side of the road
People running around Creditards simplicity stress
Go live your life on the internet That’s what Bill says
Conspiracies and mysteries Science fiction make-believe
Mankind’s misery Tell me what to believe
The sun goes up while I go down
My values all turned inside out
But I shall seek and I will find
A sun behind those misty clouds
We weren’t meant to give up Tell me what to believe
Shine Dion是来自挪威Skien (斯基恩)的2重唱组合,它的音乐被认为是挪威和爱尔兰民调的结合体
在音乐中经常使用很多乐器:
小提琴,风笛,SAX,曼陀林(类似我们的琵琶), 3角铁,美乐特朗(电子琴) , 木吉他。
其中Janne Hansen是主唱兼歌词创作, Per Selör则主作曲和吉他弹奏。
歌曲的歌词灵感通常都是来自挪威当地的神话, 传说及风土人情。
他们的音乐成功实现了古典和现代的结合, 从中我们可以感受到田园般的宁静,灵魂的脆弱,及时间的无涯。
谁在轻轻拨动心弦
平平仄仄地敲打
风吟低和 云水徜徉
爱似柔软的枝条疯长
幻梦在泥土深处绽放
微笑支撑树的王冠
灵之翼在恬淡清芬中振翅
朴素的意象变得轻柔 渺茫
时光打开编辑器
复制 粘贴 剪裁
生命之轻 难以描摹
涤尽三百六十五日的铅华
是谁在反复地吟唱
爱 是经得起平淡的流年..

田园般的宁静shine dion-《the well》
Right in the village there\’s a little well
and the grass hides it,
grenn grass in sap closely thatching it
I heard of it from an old woman
but she siad:“The path is overgrown with bracken
where Ioften walked with my cogin,
and the cogin itself is warped.“
when I looked in her lined face
I saw the bracken growing round the well of her eyes,
and hiding it from seeking and from desires,
and closing it,closing it.
“Nobody goes to that well now,“
said the old woman,“as we once went,
when we were young,
though its water is lovely and white.“
And when I looked in her eyes through the bracken
I saw the sparkle of that water
That makes whole every hurt
till the hurt of herat.
“And will you go there for me,“
said the old woman,“even with a thimble,
and bring me a drop of that hard water
that will bring colour to my cheeks.“
I found the well at last,
and through her need was not the greatset
It was to her i brought the treasure
It may be that the well
is something I saw in a dream
for today when I went to seek it
I found only bracken and rushes,
and the old woman\’s eyes are closed
and a film has come over their merriment
来自瑞典的Sophie Zelmani,14岁拥有了自己第一把吉他,并于1996年凭着95年底发行的首张专辑「ophie Zelmani」夺得了Chart No.1。Sophie Zelmani的音乐之所以能像她的人一样,情感纤细、纯净亲切而动人,那是因为她的歌直接纪录了她的成长心路历程。从收录「Always You」、A Thousand Times」等单曲,甜美羞涩的首张同名专辑,到走红之后面对漫长的巡回演出与数不尽的访谈而感到痛苦,继而使其创作呈现出苦涩与深沉黑暗气氛的第二张专辑「Precious Burden」,再到即将迎向曙光、向伤感告别的第三张专辑「Time To Kill」,以及如今的最新作品「Sing And Dance」彷佛用音乐来回忆着过去那个在情感或生理上正要愈合,然而一旦触碰到还是会带来疼痛的伤口。Sophie Zelmani就像个挚友般分享着她的情感与心情变化,唯一不变的是她的音乐表现方式,依然是清脆的吉他合弦衬托着她温暖甜美的歌声,恰如其分不喧宾夺主的鼓与贝斯,陪衬上彷如远方传来的萨克司风及逐渐贴近的长笛或小提琴悠扬旋律,传递出彷佛在冷飕飕的秋天夜晚漫步走在瑞典已然结霜的路上,脚底还不时传出嗄吱细碎声响,那沁凉萧瑟绝美的意境,让人愈听愈沉醉其中难以自拨。

Sophie Zelmani轻轻吟唱《Oh Dear》
Don't you ever go out
When was the last time you were out
Have you ever been out
Oh dear
Is something wrong with the air
Since you can't breathe in here
How long have you held your breath
Oh dear
What is closing you in
Must be a giant dream
It's not your life we have seen
Oh dear
Don't let your choices be
hopes you still can't feel
All was given for free
My dear
