Just a little insane

這是最近我很喜歡的一首Indie Rock，出自瑞典籍的Kristofer Arstom 07年的專輯「Rainaway Town」。


去年第一次在一大長串的 indie rock list 聽到這首歌時就很喜歡這首歌，過了幾個月再聽還是很有感覺，於是決定介紹一下。


其實我以前從來沒聽過 Kristofer 的音樂，儘管他也是瑞典知名搖滾樂團 Fireside 的主唱。他的聲音也許不是樂界裡最特出的，但自有他誘人且讓人印象深刻的因子；尤其微帶點鼻音的腔調非但不影響聆聽的舒適感，反而不經意地流露出性感的氣息，也算是自成一格的獨特了。


這首「Just a little insane」雖然不是第一主打，但朗朗上口的旋律和輕快的節奏的組合起來相當地耐聽；整首歌的節奏偏快，但 Kristofer 唱起來卻是輕鬆自在，沒有一絲絲的急促。歌詞的部份我也很喜歡，它呈現勇敢、不顧一切的態度，帶著一點自負卻不至於囂張，充滿了大無畏的氣勢；尤其 Kristofer 聲音裡一份冷靜的特質讓它聽起來好像真有那麼一點瘋狂的感覺，相得益彰。總之這是我個人覺得值得一聽的一首歌，也許大家的感受不見得和我相同，不過我相信它帶來一些特別的感覺，當然，這是要用心去體會的。


Just a little insane by Kristofer Arstom

All those trails leades to anywhere else
nothing's gonna keep from me gettin' away
every situation that I've never been through
is gonna be the sacred path to you

Livin' on the hope of about anything else
lonesome valley or the city street lights
Picking up our years, whatever passes by
even if it's not right or half alive

I went down down down
down to the rainaway town
down dooooown
just a little insane but ahead of the game

Fed up with the people I use to hold dear
looking for reaction in a dead end tear
everybody's telling me that I should give it up
but I feed on broken dreams alot

Only if you know me can you help me you say
lookin' for the surface always in the wrong way
better hold on to whatever you have
you say it's easier if you don't have it all

I went down down down
down to the rainaway town
down dooooown
just a little insane but ahead of the game

And all that i found
was the other way around
don't come to near
don't feed my fear
now everything's been said

Just a little insane but ahead of the game

I went down down down
down to the rainaway town
down dooooown

Just a little insane but ahead of the game (repeat)

Just a little insane but ahead of everything
