"Beautiful boyz" by CocoRosie

CocoRosie是我很喜歡的團,夠怪,夠妖,夠神經有趣。"Beautiful boyz" 是獻給法國作家 Jean Genet的歌。歌裡開場的妖魅苦情男聲是鼎鼎大名的 Antony。我會注意到Antony,是因為在介紹他聲音的同時大多會提到 Tindersticks主唱的聲音。他倆的聲音在某種程度上確實屬於同類,而 Tindersticks又是我的最愛。哈,我的最愛有好多喔,只能說音樂的世界真是太浩瀚無涯了!。

"Beautiful boyz"是2004年的歌曲,我好像是前年聽到這首歌,一聽到就非常喜愛,聽這首歌的時候,彷彿就像是緩緩地沈入深深的海底一樣。貫穿全曲的重擊效果非常棒,彷彿每一下都打在你心頭上,搭配 CocoRosie幾近瘋狂的神經質演唱,簡直令人喘不過氣來,好想趕緊大口深呼吸,卻只能憋住,只因深怕錯過下一秒。但老實說這歌不太適合常聽,容易頭痛。這幾天想起特別介紹一下,這世上也是有如此抑鬱到絕美的歌。不喜陰鬱氣氛與神經容易緊張的人,請不要按下「play」鍵喔。

Beautiful Boyz - Coco Rosie & Anthony and The Johnsons

Antony :
Those, those beautiful boys
Those, those beautiful boys

Cocorosie :
Born illegitimately
To a whore, most likely
He became an orphan
Oh what a lovely orphan he was
Sent to the reformatory
Ten years old, was his first glory
Got caught stealing from a nun
Now his love story had begun

Thirty years he spent wandering
A devil's child with dove wings
He went to prison
In every country he set foot in
Oh how he loved prison
How awfully lovely was prison

Antony :
All those beautiful boys
Pimps and queens and criminal queers
All those beautiful boys
Tattoos of ships and tattoos of tears

Cocorosie :
His greatest love was executed
The pure romance was undisputed
Angelic hoodlums and holy ones
Angelic hoodlums and holy ones

Antony :
All those beautiful boys
Pimps and queens and criminal queers
All those beautiful boys
Tattoos of ships and tattoos of tears

All those beautiful boys
Pimps and queens and criminal queers
All those beautiful boys
Tattoos of ships and tattoos of tears

All those beautiful boys
Beautiful boys...
All those beautiful boys
Beautiful boys...
Those beautiful boys...
