Loreena McKennitt The Bonny Swans歌词


古老的爱尔兰传说:“三姐妹走在小河边,妒忌的大姐突然把小妹妹推落到河里,因为小妹妹得到了王子的真爱。小妹妹一路求救,一路漂流……淹死了的小妹妹,变成了一只美丽的金色天鹅,被好心人捞起。刚好一个乐器工匠从那路过,他用天鹅的羽毛和骨头做成了一把美丽的竖琴,弹奏出动人的乐曲。竖琴最终被工匠送到了王宫,恶毒的大姐早已如愿以偿的成为王子的新娘,而竖琴也默默的陪伴着王子……” 美丽忧伤的故事,让我无法平静的听了很多遍。歌曲旋律相当简单,但编制精美,浓重的爱尔兰风格,Loreena 的柔美唱腔以及这动人的传说,让人不断的回味,久久不能忘怀。

Loreena McKennitt The Mummers' Dance歌词

10/07 06:44
The Mummer's Dance描写的是春季的一个夜晚,婆娑的树叶衬托蓝色的天空,随风而摆的树枝条,好像是一群人在默默地不停地舞蹈.最先吸引我的是风笛,隐约的,延绵在背景里,好象是从记忆里缓缓而来的风.而鼓声接踵而至,各种各样的鼓被统一成一个印象,不徐不缓,不紧不慢,却永不停息,推着人跟随它前进舞蹈.整首曲子由这两种乐器形成主要旋律,而偶尔出现的小提琴与吉它,好象是突然跳出人群中的独舞,又象是灵机一动错出的一个花步.而Loreena的吟唱,把它们织成一个网,将聆听者着笼罩. The Mumm
