雪倫與費歐娜:Love More
〈 𝙇𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙈𝙤𝙧𝙚 〉
當你最愛的兩個音樂人,在時空的彼岸,唱著同一首歌⋯⋯
如果有翻唱之神,那麼 𝐅𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐞 必然坐在那王位上,她將披頭四〈Across The Universe〉唱進電影歡樂谷,成為史上最棒的翻唱,黑白變成了彩色。
這回她翻唱了後生晚輩 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐧 𝐕𝐚𝐧 𝐄𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧 的舊作,這首歌叫〈Love More〉,聽起來很甜蜜對吧?
其實不然。
當時 Sharon 十七歲,正在一段充滿暴力的感情裡,如同歌詞第一句:「我被鎖在我們房間的牆上,是的,你鏈著我像一條狗」。
男友是玩團的,卻對她的音樂很有意見,不準她去演出,甚至砸壞她的吉他。
這段關係持續五年,一直到她打電話向高中時的前男友求救,語音訊息被對方的女友聽到,兩人發展出一段秘密的友誼,那個女生鼓勵她寫歌,叫她趕快逃走。終於某天,Sharon 痛下決心,頭也不回搭上飛機⋯⋯
因此〈Love More〉的後段唱:「她,讓我想愛得更多」
Chained to the wall of our room
Yeah, you chained me like a dog in our room
I thought that’s how it was
I thought that we were fine
Then the day was night
You were high
You were high when I was doomed
而這不是一首普通的翻唱。
因為 𝐅𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐞 本人,在十二歲放學回家時,遭到強暴。
她得了憂鬱症、厭食症,音樂裡的歇斯底里,全都是內心的控訴。
Sharon 並沒有見過 Fiona 一面,但她說 Fiona 一直是她的精神領袖。她說:「寫這首歌的時候我正在黑暗的地方,現在 Fiona 的版本會永遠存在這個宇宙中,幫助我遠遠地離開那黑暗之處。」
這是一位勇士,翻唱另外一位勇士的歌。
Sharon: “I was in a dark place when I wrote this song, I was in a safer space when I was able to record it, and now that Fiona’s version will exist in this universe, it helps me feel even farther away from the darkness I had to experience in order to write this song. She brings it life and light. She has given me her hand after all these years… and it is with pure joy to finally share this song in a brand new light by someone I always wished I could be.”
如果原版是溫柔的海洋,那麼新版則是撫慰的森林。
手鼓聲伴隨著 Fiona 的輕輕吟唱,像是好多位母親共同牽著女孩的手,在這安全的部落裡,一起重生。
