话说《遗落战境》(419/520)选“a whiter shade of pale”这首曲子的用意

片子里用到了原唱版本,这是由英国乐团Procol Harum(主唱Gary Brooker),在1967年发表的蓝调摇滚歌曲,全英六周冠军,是六十年代的经典金曲。滚石杂志对本曲评价甚高,在史上500大金曲排行No.57,超越No.58 Billie Jean


这是一首相当耐听的歌曲,历久弥新,歌词耐人寻味,颇有魔幻意境。本歌曲原是四段版本,但在唱片公司要求下改为两段版本。Fandango凡丹戈是西班牙弗拉明戈舞的一种方式。歌词里面有个Miller,很多人认为是坎特伯里故事集的磨坊主人,但作词者Keith Reid表示两者并无关联,可能由于坎特伯里发生的故事多属超orz。这首歌曲翻唱版本众多,但流传较广版本有四种:Procol Harum原唱版、Annie Lennox小丑版、Sarah Brightman月光女神版以及Procol Harum演唱会LIVE版。

加上这首曲子开头及过渡部分使用的J·巴赫《管弦乐组曲》(BWV1066-1069)第三号BMV1068改编曲《G弦上的咏叹调》-小提琴家威廉密(August Wilhelmj)所做,如果按照流传所说,门德尔松在钢琴上把《G弦上的咏叹调》演奏给歌德听时,歌德说:“开头是这样的华丽庄严,使人可以想象到一大群显要人物沿着长长的楼梯鱼贯而下。”门德尔松说歌德:“不愧是与魔鬼交换了灵魂的人”。
其实歌德最清楚,虽然他并没有反驳与魔鬼交换了灵魂的调侃,但他却认真地说:“G弦上的咏叹调就如永恒的和谐自身的对话,就如同上帝创造世界之前,思想在心中的流动。就好像没有了耳、更没有了眼、没有了其他感官,而且我不需要用它们,因为我的内心这有一股律动,源源而出。”

再想想片子里有freeman老爷,上回配上这曲子的时候他还在另一部片子里化身威廉警官在图书馆里查资料,《G弦上的咏叹调》旋律安谧地轻起,徐徐奏出,柔婉如歌,极富情境,既像是静静地沉思,又好似默默地咏唱;而后乐曲转折,情绪有了明显地起伏和变化,旋律开始跳动,情绪开始激动地抒发,激情在倾诉;接着曲调又回到开始的舒缓,情绪安静下来,柔婉如初;最后,乐曲速度降慢,力度更轻,缓缓地延长地结束。整曲旋律平缓凝重,没有大的起伏,主调徐徐展开,伴着简单、平静、凝重的和弦,宛如人生的脚步踩在旧时代的石板上,发出的是灵魂的哀叹,不带悲欢喜怒。安谧、悠远、凄清、忧郁、彷徨的情感包裹着人的心灵,慢慢蔓延……

电影从一个世界跳到了另一个世界,犹如天堂里的咏叹,就是这么一副舒缓的画面,让人忘记了这TM其实是部十足的惊悚片。

唱片原版歌詞
We skipped the light Fandango
Turned cartwheels across the floor
I was feeling kind of seasick
But the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale

She said there is no reason
And the truth is plain to see
But I wandered through my playing cards
And would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might just as well've been closed

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale

最早的加長版歌詞

She said "I'm home on shore leave"
Though in truth we were at sea
So I took her by the looking glass
And forced her to agree
Saying, "You must be the mermaid
Who took Neptune for a ride"
But she smiled at me so sadly
That my anger straight away died

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale

If music be the food of love
Then laughter is its queen
And likewise if behind is in front
Then dirt in truth is clean
My mouth by then like cardboard
Seemed to slip straight through my head
So we crash-dived straightway quickly
And attacked the ocean bed

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale

身处绝境,在不对的时间却又遇到了那个可以与你相伴一生的人...倘若音乐是爱情的食粮
笑声则是音乐之根本 [flash=720,480]http://player.youku.com/player.php/sid/XMjQ3MzI5MjU2/v.swf[/flash]

P.S 推荐部片子: 《山水又相逢》http://simplecd.me/entry/SJvddoBY/
顺带求《坎特伯里故事集》Canterbury Tales改编的电影下载或小说译本

最喜欢annie lennox的版本,她的唱腔最适合这种深沉大气的歌曲了,一如No More I Love Yous 和 Love Song for a Vampire
