stand up for truth与Arcade Fire《Funeral》
油馆看了jixian的一则视频,因在钨氪蓝平民立场发声而樯内被封 甚至到了wechat被消号不能与家人联络的地步。见证这样的事很难不愤怒 同时也重提一句狠狠的追问:它们到底如此紧张地怕什么呢。不知为什么,最近两年每每看到此类令人唏嘘的个体强立于风中 硬刚头顶极拳乌云的事例时,会不由自主的耳边响起Arcade Fire的第一张专辑<Funeral>里的歌 并且在听着的同时身体不自觉的一起跟节奏晃动起来 像是在自动对着某种一呼百应的暗号 -大概是因为里面那股慷慨悲歌的情绪吧。 虽然乐队原本的出发点是私人微观视角下的个人/家庭的亲情祭奠以及个体面对社会的方式,但四海之内 人的情绪中总有些东西是相通的。
<Tunnel>
And if the snow buries my
My neighborhood
And if my parents are crying
Then I'll dig a tunnel from my window to yours
Yeah, a tunnel from my window to yours
You climb out the chimney and meet me in the middle
The middle of the town
And since there's no one else around, we let our hair grow long
And forget all we used to know
Then our skin gets thicker from living out in the snow
<Haiti>
Guns can’t kill what soldiers can’t see
In the forest we are hiding
Unmarked graves where flowers grow
Hear the soldiers angry yelling
In the river we will go
Soon we will reclaim the earth
All the tears and all the bodies
Bring about our second birth
<Rebellion>
People say that you'll die
Faster than without water
But we know it's just a lie
Scare your son, scare your daughter
