歌手简介
Tamas Wells既是团名也是其中主唱的名字,这支来自澳洲墨尔本的Indie-pop乐团最早成立于2000年初,当时只有Owen Gray 及Ben Castle两名成员。
他们发行的第一张EP“Hello Jealousy”是张带点政治意味的民谣唱片,创作灵感来自当年的“第三世界国家债务解除运动”。第二年鼓手Nathan Collins的加入带入了新的创作元素,而接下来紧密的巡回演出,也为Tamas Wells在当地乐界积累了不少人气。
2002年3月和8月,Tamas Wells分别发行了两张广受好评的EP(“Cigarettes, a Tie and a Free Magazine”及“Stitch In Time”),Ben中途退出,接着加入了Tamas和Anthony。知名制作人Tim Whitten在听过“Stitch in Time”之后颇为欣赏,邀请他们来悉尼的Megaphon studios共同录制新唱片。
20004年第一张专辑“A Mark On The Pane”曾被评为当年最美的唱片之一。
Valder Fields是Tamas Wells在缅甸北部的一个雨季里写成的,当时Tamas正致力于一个艾滋病健康教育项目。他说这首歌属于意识流创作,展示了人在追寻社会责任和渴望内心安逸时的矛盾。Tamas认为,寻求社会自我和内在自我之间的平衡才是正确对待现实的态度。
我听之我见
平缓优美的旋律,平淡纯美的声音,在身体里渗透和弥散……于是,你会忘记一切纷纷扰扰,让幸福的感觉在周遭蔓延……
没有什么激昂的东西,可是就这么平淡着。木吉他、配上简单的鼓点、偶尔用些钢琴做点缀,真的证明了往往最简单直接的东西才是最动人的。
非常喜欢这种不着边际,懒散,简单,其实又充满了鹅绒般轻飘。戴上耳机的同时觉得世界也开始变得简单和透明让人误以为在阳光下,贪婪呼吸阳光的味道。
Lyrics
Valder fields by Tamas Wells
I was found on the ground by the fountain about a field of a summer stride Lying in the sun after I had tried Lying in the sun by the side
We had agreed that the council would end up three hours over time Shoelaces were tied at the traffic lights I was running late, could apply
For another one I guess If department stores are best They said there would be delays on the temporary pay
For another one I guess If department stores are best They said there would be delays on the temporary pay
She was found on the ground in a gown made at Valder Fields And was sound asleep Staring out the door To the man who cried When he said that he loved his life
We had agreed that the council should take his keys to the bedroom door In case he slept outside and was found in two Days in Valder Fields with a mountain view |
