《Fishing Boat Song》这首歌出自M. Ward首张专辑《Duet for Guitar #2》,该专辑发行过三次,分别是:Co-Dependent Records (1999)、Ow Om Records (2000)、Merge Records (2007)。
M.Ward今年有发行新专辑《Hold Time》,前一阵有听,不过最近非常爱这首1999年的短小作品:《Fishing Boat Song》。起因是再次重温Grandaddy的音乐,翻出2000年Grandaddy翻唱的、未收录在专辑中的加长版《Fishing Boat Song》,众所周知Grandaddy的人声极其柔美,演绎起来比M.Ward更为出色。
歌词:
from Springfield, Mass to Concord Town
I saw those lights go down
in a gorge in Kansas
I met my Jesus
he laid me down and he said
if I build you a fishing boat
would you leave everyone you know?
if I build you a fishing boat
would you leave everyone you know?
would you be more likely to kill more time with me?
and then a sudden gale began to wail
it set my heart like no other love
like no other love
(if I build you a fishing boat
if I build you a fishing boat
if I build you a fishing boat
would you leave everyone you know?
if I build you a fishing boat
would you leave everyone you know?)
from Springfield, Mass to Concord Town
I saw my lights go down
* 括号内为Grandaddy加长版增加的歌词
你会不会抛开尘世跟我走?
