音乐咖啡厅:Spaceman-The killers 犀利的鼓点紧凑的节奏

《Spaceman》犀利的鼓点紧凑的节奏外加Brandon上口吟唱，叫人颇感听到了《shadowplay》《for reasons unknow》的结合体，意犹未尽。

  在21世纪开始的十年中很少有像四人乐队the killers¹这样如此迅速的窜红到流行音乐的最前沿。2004年，他们发行了混合了80年代synth pop and fashionista charm风格的首张音乐大碟《Hot Fuss》，这成为了当年最大的热点新闻之一。这张专辑有四首广为传唱的歌曲并且使乐队尤其是时尚的22岁主唱Brandon Flowers成为了国际性的明星。《Hot Fuss》迷醉于乐队家乡拉斯维加斯的炫丽和浮华之中，讲述了双性女友和对公众的非法事务，而公众对宗教复兴者的舞蹈摇滚的口味被证明是无法满足的。乐队 Franz Ferdinand, Interpol, 和 the Bravery都从类似的兴趣中得到了很大益处，但是the Killers超越了他们所有人，即使是他们的第二张专辑《Sam’s Town》削弱了乐队所带动的新流行潮流，这种潮流近似于由Bruce Springsteen 和U2的专辑《Rattle and Hum》所体现出的摇滚精髓。

英文歌词:

Spaceman

oh oh oh oh oh oh oooah
oh oh oh oh oh oh oooah
oh oh oh oh oh oh oooah
oh oh oh oh oh oh oooah

It started with a low light
Next thing I knew they ripped me from my bed
And then they took my blood type
It left a strange impression in my head
You know that I was hoping
That I could leave this star-crossed world behind
But when they cut me open
I guess I changed my mind
And you know I might
Have just flown too far from the floor this time
＇cause they calling me by my name!
And the zipping white light beams
disregards the bombs and satellites!
That was the turning point
That was one lonely night!

The song maker² says ＂It ain＇t so bad＂
The dream maker＇s going make you mad
The spaceman says ＂Everybody look down!
Its all in your mind!＂

Well now I＇m back at home and-
I’m looking forward to this life I live
You know its gonna haunt me
So hesitation³ to this life I give
You think you might cross over
You＇re caught between the devil and the deep blue sea
You better look it over
Before you make that leap!

And you know I＇m fine but I hear those voices at night
sometimes they justify⁴ my claim
and the public don’t ground my transmission
＇cause it wasn’t televised
But it was the turning point
Oh what a lonely night!

The song maker says ＂It ain＇t so bad＂
The dream maker＇s going make you mad
The spaceman says ＂Everybody look down!
Its all in your mind!＂
The song maker says ＂It ain＇t so bad＂
The dream maker＇s going make you mad
The spaceman says ＂Everybody look down!
Its all in your mind!＂

My global position systems are vocally⁵ addressed
They say the Nile used to run from east to west
They say the Nile used to run… from east to west
I＇m fine but I hear those voices at night
sometimes

The song maker says ＂It ain＇t so bad＂
The dream maker＇s going make you mad
The spaceman says ＂Everybody look down!
Its all in your mind!＂
The song maker says ＂It ain＇t so bad＂
The dream maker＇s going make you mad
The spaceman says ＂Everybody look down
Its all in your mind!＂

It＇s all in my mi-i-ind
It＇s all in my mind
oh oh oh oh oh oh oooah
oh oh oh oh oh oh oooah
