No Surprises和Let Down. 是Radiohead早期的经典作品[OK Computer]中的2首. 让我为之哭泣的歌曲.

今天突然被No Surprises这首歌叫醒了, 哭的很厉害!

是Thom Yorke在零碎的鼓点和隐约的和弦里懒洋洋地唱着, 生活或许每天都没有意外, 但是看过电影 [大人物拿破伦] 的都能理解: 生活有如涓涓细流, 平缓又永不间断的流淌, 这就小人物的大生活, 我们大部分人的生活.

No Surprises
无忧无虑

A heart that's full up like a landfill,
一颗满是伤痕的心
a job that slowly kills you
一份让你短命的工作
bruises that won't heal.
难以痊愈的苦痛
You look so tired-unhappy,
你看起来如此疲惫忧伤
bring down the government,
那就一起推翻可恶的政府吧
they don't, they don't speak for us.
他们从来不为我们想过
I'll take a quiet life,
我将会有一个安静的生活
a handshake of carbon monoxide,
从次和喧嚣污染说BYEBYE
with no alarms and no surprises,
不会再有惊扰我的事
no alarms and no surprises,
不会再被老板当狗来差遣
no alarms and no surprises,
也不会再有什么让我心烦
Silent silence.
安心，舒适
This is my final fit,
我最后一次忍受这样的生活
my final bellyache,
最后一次向你抱怨

with no alarms and no surprises,
不会再有惊扰我的事
no alarms and no surprises,
不会再被老板当狗来差遣
no alarms and no surprises please.
也不会再有什么让我心烦
Such a pretty house
我将拥有很漂亮的房子
and such a pretty garden.
很美丽的花园

No alarms and no surprises,
高枕无忧
no alarms and no surprises,
怡然自得
no alarms and no surprises please.
就请让我享受无忧无虑的生活

多久没听Radiohead了? 我仍记得一种感觉, 或是轻微痉挛, 或是抽绪颤抖, 仿佛心灵脱离了躯壳, 到了一个从来没有见过的世界, 或是发现周遭的一切都变了样子. 我总想象着Thom York那一张让人猜不透的表情, 眼睛明亮又阴冷, 犹如落水后, 好不容易把头露出水面的阴郁、悲哀的肃穆神情, 底层尽是"紧绷的神经、奔腾的血液、破碎的心". 在Radiohead的音乐里, 我们深切地感到梦想与爱情, 那最甜蜜也最悲惨的滋味

"Let Down"是 [Ok Computer] 里我最喜爱的歌曲之一, 仿佛每件东西都在明澈而宁静的灿烂光辉中闪闪发光, 梦幻中的迷惘、陶醉之感, 心情随着璀璨了起来. 眼光交接的那一刻, 我突然懂了, 最需要的是坚定而沈着的意念, 过去推动你的是嫉妒和激情, 如今, 你就该听我的话, 鼓起勇气, 克服自己的胆怯, 是的, 他不再爱你了, 你该感到如释重负才是, 你就像一片叶子, 只要有一点阳光, 就能自己伸展开来.

Transport, motorways and tramlines
Starting and then stopping
Taking off and landing
The emptiest of feelings
Disappointed people clinging on to bottles
And when it comes it's so so disappointing

Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around

Shell smashed、juices flowing
Wings twitch、legs are going
Don't get sentimental
It always ends up drivel

One day I'm going to grow wings
A chemical reaction
Hysterical and useless
Hysterical and …

Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around

Let down again
Let down again
Let down again

You know、you know where you are with
You know where you are with
Floor collapsing
Floating、bouncing back
And one day….
I am going to grow wings
A chemical reaction
Hysterical and useless
Hysterical and…

Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around
