    =================================================================

    White Lies是一支来自西伦敦伊令的英国另类摇滚乐队。从前乐队名字称为"Fear Of Flying",最初是由Harry Mcveigh(主唱,吉他),Charles Cave(贝司,吉他),以及Jack Lawrence-Brown(鼓手)组成。乐队在现场演出期间也由Tommy Bowen(键盘)来作为替补成员。

    White Lies于2007年10月成立,在创作歌曲的基础上他们觉得还并不满足于原有的乐队。在为了积累媒体宣传而将他们的首次演出延迟了五个月后,他们就在初次登场的几天后与Fiction Records签下了唱片合约。乐队在07年先后发行了两支单曲 "Unfinished Business" 和 "Death",在08年也曾发行过一张EP,随后又发行了单曲 "To Lose My Life",然后在2009年,他们终于正式发行了首张专辑《To Lose My life》,曾上榜首周就登上了榜首位置,成为09年英国第一张问鼎榜首的专辑。同年3月,他们又发行了一张新单曲 "Farewell To The Fairground"。White Lies的音乐风格被媒体描述为是黑暗的,却是令人振奋的,并且将他们与Joy Division,Editors以及Interpol相提并论。他们的歌中,大多都在歌唱着“绝望的爱,死亡,失去”等沉重和悲伤的主题,但却能让人找到一种殊途同归的慰藉。

    作为英国的新晋乐队,White Lies目前在英国也是备受瞩目的,BBC和NME等专业媒体都对他们赞赏有加。强大丰富的编曲和主唱醇厚的声音表现力,以及深具内涵的歌词,使得White Lies无论从哪方面看来都是一支相当成熟的乐队,实力不容小觑,有理由期待他们日后的成绩。这张处女作确实值得聆听,你会从中获得多重的体验。喜欢Post-Punk风格的乐迷千万不要错过。

     

    White Lies - Death(Lyrics 歌词)

    I love the feeling when we lift off
    Watching the world so small below
    I love the dreaming when I think of
    The safety in the clouds outside my window
    I wonder what keeps us so high up
    Could there be a love beneath these wings
    If we suddenly fall should I scream out
    Or keep very quiet and cling to my mouth
    As I'm crying so frightened of dying
    Relax yes I'm trying but fear's got a hold on me

    Yes, this fear's got a hold on me
    Yes, this fear's got a hold on me

    I love the quiet of the night time
    When the sun has drowned in a deathly sea
    I can feel my heart beating as I speak from
    the sense of time catching up with me
    The sky set out like a pathway
    But who decides which route we take?
    As people drift into a dream world
    I close my eyes as my hands shake
    and when I see a new day
    Whose driving the same way
    I picture my own grave
    This fear's got a hold on me

    Yes, this fear's got a hold on me
    Yes, this fear's got a hold on me

    Yes this fear's got a hold on me
    Yes this fear's got a hold on me

    Floating neither up or down I wonder when I hit the ground
    Will the earth beneath my body shake and cast your sleeping hearts awake?
    Could it tremble stars from moonlit skies
    Could it drag a tear from your cold eyes
    I live on the right side I sleep on the left
    That's why everything's got to be alive or dead

    Yes this fear's got a hold on me
    Yes this fear's got a hold on me
    Yes this fear's got a hold on me
    Yes this fear's got a hold on me
    Yes this fear's got a hold on me
    Yes this fear's got a hold on me
    Yes this fear's got a hold on me
    Yes this fear's got a hold on me

    White Lies - To Lose My Life(Lyrics 歌词)

    He said to lose my life or lose my love,
    That's the nightmare I've been running from.
    So let me hold you in my arms a while,
    I was always careless as a child.
    And there's a part of me that still believes,
    My soul will soar above the trees.
    But a desperate fear flows through my blood,
    That our dead loves buried beneath the mud.

    Let's grow old together,
    And die at the same time.
    Let's grow old together,
    And die at the same time.

    I said I've got no time I have to go,
    And I was more right then now I'll ever know.
    He said my heart is faint, will minds regret,
    And left him crying next to the chapels steps.

    Let's grow old together,
    And die at the same time.
    Let's grow old together,
    And die at the same time.
    He said…

    Let's grow old together,
    And die at the same time.
    Let's grow old together,
    And die at the same time.
    He said…

    He said to lose my life or lose my love,
    That's the nightmare I've been running from.
    So let me hold you in my arms a while,
    I was careless as a child.
    There's a part of me that still believes,
    My soul will soar above the trees.
    A desperate fear flows through my blood,
    Our dead loves buried beneath the mud.
    A desperate fear flows through my blood,
    Our dead loves buried beneath the mud

    I can't forgive the things that I can still remember
    我无法原谅那些我仍记忆犹新的事情
    So I think my friend these sins are here to stay

    White Lies - Farewell To The Fairground(Lyrics 歌词)

    Lights still in our eyes
    We're leaving this whole fairground behind
    It's a dream that's going cold
    Circus never dies
    The act forever haunts these skies
    I know we cannot stay

    Farewell to the fairground
    These rides aren't working anymore
    Goodbye to this dead town
    Until the ice begins to thaw

    This place used to gleam
    I see it in my hopeful dreams
    Now I had to get away
    We move towards the stars
    And all that we touch becomes ours
    Let's keep warm till it's day

    Farewell to the fairground
    These rides aren't working anymore
    Goodbye to this dead town
    Until the ice begins to thaw

    We'll head south, just hold my hand now
    I feel like I'm casting off my clothes
    And I'm running through the snow towards the sunset
    And I'm always with you

    Keep on running
    Keep keep on running
    There's no place like home
    There's no place like home

    Farewell to the fairground
    These rides aren't working anymore
    Goodbye to this dead town
    Until the ice begins to thaw

    We'll head south, just hold my hand now
    I feel like I'm casting off my clothes
    And I'm running through the snow towards the sunset
    And I'm always with you
