皇家燈塔咖啡廳。
(標題是Google Search所得到的結果,哎實在太難譯了)
(我原來想譯成高級輕盈咖啡廳)←完全亂來
這首歌我找尋了很久。
在沉迷聽Brit-pop的日子裏,我很閒地整天上網看專輯評論然後隨便選別人推薦的歌來聽。有人在網上提過Keane的大名,亦也理所當然地推介他們的Somewhere Only We Know。鑑於這首歌實在太溫柔太優雅太討我歡心,於是我就亂選了Keane的另一首歌來聽,但印象不深,於是就沒再怎麼留意他們了。
在之後我無端在旅行逛Outlet時聽見一首很熟悉的歌,結果讓我糾結了很久-可是旅行回來後我只是記得Chrous的旋律,還記得中段歌詞有個單詞Parade(記性是有多差勁),而且待我還打算想用Mobile App査(真誇張)時腦海中的旋律又會偷偷消失。
不過當然最後我還是找尋到它來。這首纏繞了我這麼久的歌,就是曾被我評為印象不深,Keane的Sovereign Light Cafe。
雖然個人認為Keane的音樂太有打安全牌的感覺,有時實在有點無趣,但主唱的聲音很溫柔,很能安撫人心,歌曲通常也很優雅富英倫范,所以整體來説他們的音樂還是挺值得注意的。
最後送上歌詞:
I'm going back to a time when we owned this town
Down Powder Mill Lane and the battlegrounds
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns
I didn't know I was finding out how I'd be torn from you
When we talked about things we were gonna do
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too
We'd go down to the rides on East Parade
By the lights of the Palace Arcade and watch night
Coming down on the Sovereign Light Café
I'm begging you for some sign but you still got nothing to say
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
I'm a better man now than I was that day
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade
By the lights of the Palace Arcade and watch night
Coming down on the Sovereign Light Café
Let's go down to the bandstand on the pier
Watch the drums and the lovers appear to take turns
As the stars of the Sovereign Light Café
I wheel my bike off the train, up the north trade road
And look for you on marley lane in every building and every street sign
Oh why did we ever go so far from the road
But you've got nothing to hide, you come to change who you really are
You can get a big house and a faster car
You can run away boy but you won't go far
Let's go down to the rides on east parade
By the lights of the palace arcade and watch night
Coming down on the Sovereign Light Café
Let's go down to the bandstand on the pier
Watch the drums and the lovers appear to take turns
As the stars of the Sovereign Light Café
La la la la la la la la la yeah, yeah
I'm going where the people know my name
