Falling By The Wayside
威尔士的5人乐队People In Planes。
乐队组建于2001 年,最初乐队名叫Tetra Splendour,当时被认为是一支深受Neil Young和REM影响的迷幻民谣乐队。然而经过几年的人员流动,乐队于05年初重组,改名People In Planes,风格也随之变得像现在这样的英伦化。重组不久,他们就在4月发了首张Single《Talking Heads》。单曲专辑所表现出来的旋律式另类风格,当时就被BBC,NME等专业音乐媒体看好会红遍全美。
那张Talking Heads是还没有机会听到,但是这张《As Far As The Eye Can See》所呈现出来的东西,我可是已经先行大家品味一个礼拜了。怎么说呢,听着他们的东西,我是不得不想起Supergrass,Muse, Coldplay,Starsailor这些乐队的。首先说到主唱的嗓音吧,唱这类英伦流行乐那是再合适不过了。能高能低充满磁性,沉稳且不乏爆发力,虽不及Muse主唱Bellamy那么极富表现力,但也能和Starsailor的James Walsh一较高下!开首曲Barracude就是一首Supergrass式编曲的典型Britpop,悦耳的节奏和Chorus段,不得不让人倾心!第二首For Miles Around(Scratch To Void)的旋律更加引人入胜,特别是主唱Gareth Jones在高音部分的表现让人信服!而第三首If Your Talk Too Much(My Head Will Explode)那就是“Supergrass”+“Muse”的完美结合,前半段是典型的Guitar-pop,而后半段Chorus部分特别是鼓和键盘的运用,特别“Muse”,真是一首不可多得的佳作!而第7首Falling By the Wayside就让我想到了Coldplay早期的作品,比如Don't Panic!清澈的吉他仿佛再现了当年CP的轻涩棱角。而第11首Fire就和最近在英伦走红的Athlete有些相通了,合理的钢琴搭配键盘及合成器,融合凄美的旋律,这些就已经足够在你脑中留下点什么了。最后想说的,2006年的英伦乐坛一定会有他们的一席之地!让我们拭目以待吧!

歌词:
It's ok to be safe
I'm on top of my game
I'm losing control
Falling by the wayside
I'm losing control
Falling by the wayside
Dive right in
Take a drink
Enter in
Try and win
Make sure you call before I leave
Keep on top of the game
I'm losing control
Falling by the wayside
Yeah it's ok to be safe
I'm losing control
Falling by the wayside
It's ok to be safe
