在海洋的懷抱中:The Tallest Man On Earth

在講述離婚與人生的專輯《Dark Bird is Home》三年之後,瑞典民謠才子The Tallest Man On Earth「又要開始」關於 的計畫。

他在影片裡說,自從孩提時代,就常常夢到鳥,夢到關於如何飛翔。不只是拍擊翅膀,更多的是感覺當下,你可以做到任何事。

「過去與未來,你會不斷的懷疑自己。但當你開始懷疑,就會撞到地上去。」

某一天他醒來,又摔到地上去。覺得自己辦不到。但他突然看到窗外的鳥,很輕易的就飛起來。「哦!原來這樣做就好!」

今年的「When the Bird Sees the Solid Ground」包含音樂與錄像的計畫,總共五個部分,會分開發行。

第一首歌〈An Ocean〉就無比動人,最喜歡他的「嗯哼」搭配上這句歌詞:

我找尋你的,就如同,你找尋我的
深埋在海洋的懷抱中
當鳥見到地面

An Ocean

Shall we just go little wreck of my heart
Go for the waves out there
Oh I know
These are frightening seas

When old bastards are ripping apart
All what is kind out there
All we grow
And how wild we dream

Somewhere in this stubborn light
Over the waves and troubles now
I look out for yours like you’ll for mine
So deep in the arms of the ocean now
When the bird sees the solid ground

And now we leeway when still and so dark
Peace in the sounds out here
Thunder claps
In the distance warm

Another one follows I count from afar
I never get used to this
First the flare
Then the silence starts

Somewhere in this stubborn light
Over the waves and troubles now
I look out for yours like you’ll for mine
So deep in the arms of the ocean now
When the bird sees the solid ground

I’ve been counting on
The wind would know where I’m going to
And when stillness comes around
I ask what my heart would do
About drifting around
So deep in the arms of some ocean now

I see feathers on every wave
From every old used to be
Ones you loved
Did you let them dream?
I still lose it, I speak to myself
I ask out in nothing too
To the birds, why I’m singing still, am I singing still?

第二首歌〈Somewhere In The Mountains, Somewhere In New York〉講的則是思念。

無論是在紐約,或是在山裡。別把你的愛帶走。

Somewhere In The Mountains, Somewhere In New York

Looking for my breath
In these dark and stormy days
All I do is miss you
Darling one, in so many ways

Should I not look back
I know hour’s getting late
I won’t sing of sorrow, but please
Don’t take your love away

Somewhere in the mountains
And somewhere in New York
We’ll forget the hour
There’s that song we hummed before

I heard them talk of sunshine
Life in restful ways
I won’t sing of sorrow, but please
Don’t take your love away

Some nights will haunt me
Until the daylight comes around
I’ll be fine, it’s all I really own
It’s always been around

Hanging on the dream of you
I will fall through days
But I get up stubborn
All your warmth and funny ways

Should I not look back
I know, hour’s getting late
I won’t sing of sorrow, but please
Don’t take your love away

Some nights will haunt me
Until the daylight comes around
I’ll be fine, it’s all I really own
It’s always been around

I run before the days
Will have me to believe
Your dance within me
It’s only but a dream

Somewhere in the mountains
And somewhere in New York
We’ll forget the hour
And the long, long road
