Be human—— If I only was more human
“我瞬间进入一个无所适从的境地,不愿意自我拯救,流连或是心痛,都与一种捉摸不定的感受相呼应。”是的,这首歌的感染力,真的难以言说。
这位 Scott Matthew,是一位出生在澳大利亚的昆士兰的歌手和词作者,嗓音沧桑又忧郁,《be human》也是与日本著名的音乐人营野洋子共同为攻壳机动队中制作的插曲。如此强大的组合,其水准也相当之高,音乐的表达极具张力和艺术性。
这首《be human》由Scott感染力十足的声线,将我们的心麻醉到毫无抵抗力。任凭他肆意的“伤感”“揉捏”,歌词亦如旋律一般忧郁。机器人be human的梦,看似辛酸却又那么美好,流露着无奈。它不过也想要一个妻子,美丽可爱,有自己的孩子;想拥抱生命,也想从此远离寂寞……
歌词
I analyze and I verify and I quantify enough
one hundred percentile
no errors,no miss
I synchronize and I specialize and I classify so much
don't worry 'boutdreaming
because I don't sleep
I wish I could at least 30percent
maybe 50for pleasure
then skip all the rest
if I only was more human
I would count every single second the rest of my life
if I just could be more human
I'd have so many little babies and maybe a wife
I'd roll around the mud
and have lots of fun
then when I was done
build bubblebath towers and swim in the tub
sand castles on the beach
frolic in the sea
get a broken knee
be scared of the dark and I'd sing out of key
cuss when I lost a fight
kiss and reunite
scratch a spider bite
be happy with wrinkles I got when I smiled
pet kittens til they purred
maybe keep a bird
always keep my word
I'd cry at sad movies
I'd laugh til it hurt
I'd buy a big bike
and ride by the lake
and I'd have lots of friends
and I'd stay out til late
if I could just be more human
I would see every little thing with a gleam in my eye
if only I was more human
I'd embrace every single feeling that came in my life
would I care and be forgiving?
would I be sentimental and would I feel loneliness?
would I doubt and have misgivings?
would I cause someone sorrow,too?
would I know what to do?
will I cry when it's all over?
when I die will I see heaven
