音乐咖啡厅:Frank Turner - Broken Piano

在音乐这条大道上经过长时间的不懈努力，Frank Turner这张混合着布鲁斯摇滚、民谣摇滚的第三张个人专辑终于展示在我们面前，作为英国已经解散的一支并未拥有太多名声的后硬核乐队Million Dead的主唱，Frank Turner所发行过的三张个人专辑，已经明确地昭示着他已经由早期的生猛渐渐转变为如今的厚重平静。

歌词：

Song：Broken Piano
Artist：Frank Turner

As I walked out one morning fair,
I found myself drawn¹ thoughtlessly
Back to the place we used to live,
And you still do, now without me.

Around the back, away from the road,
Behind the bins², beneath your window,
I found the hulk, the rusting³ bulk
Of a shattered old piano.
Someone had torn out some of the keys
With cruel care, not thoughtlessly,
In such a way that one could only play
Minor⁴ melodies.

So I sat down in my sadness, beneath your window,
And I played sad songs on the minor keys of a broken piano;
A sinner amongst saved men on the banks of the muddy Thames.

As I have wandered through this city,
Like a child lost in the London fog,
From Highgate Hill, down to the river,
Then washed downstream past the Isle⁵ of Dogs,

I've had time enough to think upon
The question of what kind of songs
That you would choose to listen to
Now that I am gone.
And as I drift beneath that bridge,
Just down the road from where you live,
I've often thought I might have caught
Your voice upon the wind.

But as I stroked those broken keys
You did not join in harmony.
