Gandhi’s Voice

The Books 擅長把許多好玩的錄音摻雜在音樂裡面,譬如有一首叫做PS,裡面的錄音全節錄自談話中的過場時分,如咳嗽、停頓、笑等,常常聽著聽著就跟著笑了。他們今年終於出了新專輯,專輯名為 The Way Out,很湊巧地Get Lyrical沒有幫我找到歌詞,需要徒手從歌詞網站去找,找到 “A Wonderful Phrase By Gandhi” 這首歌時因為歌詞網站也沒有,結果發現了the Books 的網站裡面有關於每首歌的背景資料,才知道歌裡面的錄音真得就是甘地的聲音(原來他的聲音長這樣啊),然後在The Lemon Of Pink專輯裡面的”There Is No There”用了愛因斯坦的聲音,兩個都跟甘地有關。There後面有一段法文,因為很可愛就還是一起貼了。

A Wonderful Phrase By Gandhi Lyrics

I do dimly perceive that whilst everything around me is ever changing, ever dying there is underlying all that change a living power that is changeless, that holds all together, that creates, dissolves and recreates.

There Is No There Lyrics (listen to music via hypemachine)

I believe that Ghandi’s views were the most enlightened of all the political mind of our time. We should strive to do things in his spirit. Not to use violence in fighting for our cause, but by nonparticipation in anything you believe is evil.

D’en trouver une autre comme toi,
Mais t’es la seule mon cœur désire
