lost souls

去年聽過Doves的The Last Broadcast之後,這個部落格找到了主題曲(words),今年聽了Lost Souls之後,決定這個團會進入我的荒島唱片排行榜。lost souls是Doves在2000年發行的首張專輯,裡面每一首歌都有著令人印象深刻的優美旋律,像是濃稠飽滿的潮水一波波地緩慢地把你淹沒。尤其是當你曉得他們已經有像last boradcast那樣也是每一首歌都出色的專輯,就更覺得驚奇,因為大部份喜歡的團只要有一張很棒的就很令人滿意了,而若一張裡面能讓我記得一半的歌就很可貴了(我記憶力欠佳又不太容易專心),他們家的專輯特色竟然是一整張都有主打歌的氣勢。此外,Doves沒有很帥氣的名字,甚至唸起來像是很遜的豆腐,所以很確定不是受到厲害團名的暗示。


Cedar Room

Stars leave the morning
Sleep clouds my view
Don’t let them come round here
And call to you
I didn’t notice
It’s a crime too few
I didn’t notice
It’s a crime to feel

And I tried to sleep alone
But I couldn’t do it
You could be sitting next to me
And I wouldn’t know it
If I told you you were wrong
I don’t remember saying
I don’t remember saying
I don’t remember saying

I’ll be a shadow
In the cedar room
And leave just a memory
Alone with you
I didn’t see that
It’s a call too soon
I couldn’t see that
It’s a call to you

And I tried to sleep alone
But I couldn’t do it
You could be sitting next to me
And I wouldn’t know it
If I told you you were wrong
I don’t remember saying
I don’t remember saying
I don’t remember saying
