[簡介]

對於Moby的名字很多人都覺得陌生,其實不然,在MOTOROLA飛躍無限的廣告中,氣勢浩大,又帶有些微迷幻色彩的背景音樂就出自Moby之手。

Moby原名Richard Hall,出生在紐約,在康涅迪格州長大。他在8歲時就開始自己寫歌了。他的父親是哥倫比亞大學的教授。但當Moby2歲時,他便撒手人寰了。Moby全靠波西米亞式的母親Betsy將他一手拉扯大。她母親是位畫家兼鋼琴手,打扮得嬉皮味十足,並且經常帶小Moby去參加搖滾音樂會。這對他以後的從藝歷程有著舉足輕重的影響。

Moby的現場演出是長久以來最感性、最煽情的。這在電子音樂中很罕見。在現場,“Porcelain”顯得很纏綿,叫人驚嘆莽撞小子也能搗鼓出如此簡約的旋律來;“Go”帶有19世紀經典歌曲的味道;“Honey”則加快了速度,闖進了punk-blues的地界。Moby毫無表情地站在鍵盤後,沐浴在豪華的聲音景觀中。

“每個人都有各自不喜歡我的理由。”“每個人也都有各自喜歡我的理由。” 電音世代音樂大師 『莎拉布萊曼』

回溯至1999年,誰會想到一個來自紐約哈林區的失敗techno DJ會發行一張充滿脆弱又動聽歌曲的專輯"Play"?誰會想到這種內斂溫柔的歌竟會如此迷人?Moby出生時即得到這個暱稱,因為寫文學名著「白鯨記」(Moby Dick)的作者赫曼梅維爾是他的祖先。這首弦樂音塊撞擊鋼琴細流和電子鼓擊的歌曲,是一個苦悶心靈的苦澀樂音。


出生紐約的魔比(Moby)是90年中期後廣爲人知的電子舞曲奇葩,他也是一位基督徒,素食者,思想家。

出道時間雖短,卻己有衆多輝煌紀錄,從取樣雙峰配樂片段而成的單曲Go打入英國十大開始,95年首張專輯Everything Is Wrong獲選Spin雜志年度最佳榜首,隔年的Animal Rights十足駭人地重返他早期混迹Speed Metal團The Vation Commandos與無政府嗓音團Flipper的搖滾路線,97年發表的:I Like To Score集結過往爲電影作嫁的歌曲,包含爲007明日帝國所做的James Bond Theme,他還曾以Feeling So Real一曲,速度高達每分鍾1015拍名列吉尼斯紀錄史上最快的歌。

Moby - Feeling So Real Live At Glastonbury Festival(現場版本,超high的)




Moby 堪稱風格變色龍的他,在每張專輯都有不同意識形态的表現,99年的專輯lay以回異于昔日的創作新局,重拾藉以成名之Rave/Techno的神采,同時亦顯露他對hip-hop的熱衷。取材探向更具靈性深度的南方黑人福音,他采用民俗曆史學家AlanLomax于20世紀初所錄制的田野錄音,完成首支單曲Honey,NME周報譽爲如鑽石般閃耀,MixMag亦給予四顆星的評價,堪稱Moby近年來最佳作品。

Moby的世界裏有年幼時父親嗑藥車禍過世的痛楚,有素食主義者不抽煙、不吸毒、不喝酒的美德,有反暴力、重環保、倡平等的偉大理想,有虔誠的基督教徒信仰,還有玩世不俗而可愛的光頭!36歲的Moby出生美國紐約市,身兼DJ、制作人與混音師,在1999年以濃厚Funky、Hip-Hop與30-40年代民謠融合電子音樂,發表的專輯“Play”讓他的聲譽達到沸騰,從葛萊美獎、全英音樂獎,到Honey、Bodyrock、Porcelain等單曲成績斐然,加上電影海灘、挑戰星期天、明日帝國、神鬼至尊等配樂選用或擔綱制作,連手機CF都來沾上一角。

94年的EP Move爲Moby剛加入Elektra的作品,同名單曲Move爲開發Rave時期的典範,是個人偏愛的曲子。

95年專輯Everything Is Wrong爲他在美國打開市場,成爲許多樂評年度十大專輯之列,單曲Feeling So Real更是結合NRG、Techno的Rave佳作。“I Like To Score”的單曲Go,取樣奇才導演大衛林區的“雙峰”影集配樂Laura Palmer's Theme,登上全英排行榜前十名,爲Moby最具代表作品之一。

97年專輯“Animal Rights”,Moby偏離Techno音樂人的身份,令人趴下地作出一張搖滾專輯,其實Moby也是玩團出身的,打鼓、敲擊樂器、吉他皆會,曾經是Punk樂團Flipper的主唱。當專輯“Play”不隻是電子音樂,而是诠釋喜愛Jazz、Punk Rock'n'Roll、Folk等音樂的Moby,不隻有狹隘的電子音樂。

2005年的作品《HOTEL》幾乎是魔比一人獨自在他位居紐約家中錄音室裏獨力完成的作品。當然其中仍然不乏友人跨刀相助,譬如女歌者Laura Brown 以及專攻現場演奏的鼓手 Scott Frassetto等等。盡管魔比最早是以另類舞曲發迹的,但在此張最新大牒裏可完全找不到任何 “取樣”的影子呢。一直想要效法偶像兼好友們David Bowie、New Order和REM的魔比,這會兒可真的要以 《HOTEL》 奠定他在另類搖滾名人殿堂的地位了。

2006年的《Go: The Very Best of Moby》專輯收錄了他曆年來的精選歌曲,包括未發行的新歌"New York, New York" , “GO” 和 "Feeling So Real"。 2006年的 10月24日在美國各大唱片行上市。 在流行音樂殿堂裏,有新浪潮、有複古浪潮、也有 -- 魔比之音。



『Play』專輯裡面的歌詞,推薦第三、四首,尤其第四首是汽車廣告裡面的配樂
順便放上第三、四首的音樂,試聽看看,歌詞後面都會附上影音,有空間就試看試聽吧..我弄滿久的..^____^

4.Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?




[歌詞]

1.Honey
Lyrics:Moby Music:Moby

When my honey comes back, sometimes
I'm gonna rap that jack, sometimes
Get a hump in my back, sometimes
I'm going over here, sometimes

Way down yonder, sometimes
Gonna get my pal, sometimes




2.Find My Baby
Lyrics:Moby Music:Moby

I'm gone find my baby
Whouh
Before that sun goes down




3.Porcelain(也是電影『The Beach』的配樂)
Lyrics:Moby Music:Moby

In my dreams I'm dying all the time
As I wake its kaleidoscopic mind
I never meant to hurt you
I never meant to lie
So this is goodbye
This is goodbye

Tell the truth you never wanted me
Tell me

In my dreams I'm jealous all the time
As I wake I'm going out of my mind
Going out of my mind




4.Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?(這首是汽車廣告的配樂)
Lyrics:Moby Music:Moby

Why does my heart
Feel so bad?
Why does my soul
Feel so bad?

These open doors





5.South Side
Lyrics:Moby Music:Moby

See myself in the pouring home
See the light come over now
See myself in the pouring rain
I watch hope come over me

Yeah, yeah
Here we are now, going to the east side
I pick up my friends and we start to ride
Ride all night, we ride all day
Some may come and some may stay

Here we are in the pouring home
I watch the light man fall the comb
I watch a light move across the screen
I watch the light come over me

Yeah, yeah
Here we are now going to the west side
Weapons in hand as we go for a ride
Some may come and some may stay
Watching out for a sunny day
Where there's love and darkness and my sidearm

Hey, elan

Here we are now going to the north side
I look at my friends as they start to ride
Ride at night we ride all day
Looking out for a sunny day

Here we are now going to the south side
I pick up my friends and we hope we won't die
Ride at night, ride through heaven and hell
Come back and feel so well


我放上的是和「關史蒂芬妮」還有「妮力費塔朵」合唱的版本,沒有迷幻,有種搖滾的感覺

Moby ft. Gwen Stefani - Southside




Nelly Furtado ft. Moby - South Side LIVE




6.Rushing
Lyrics:Moby Music:Moby





7.Bodyrock
Lyrics:Moby Music:Moby

Rock ya'all,

the bodyrock ya'll,

today is rock ya'all,

有一點混音到,所以會跟原版的不太一樣,不過也很好聽! (Sunglass Version)版本




8.Natural Blues
Lyrics:Moby Music:Moby

Refrain:
oh lordy,
trouble so hard
oh lordy,
trouble so hard,
don't nobody know my troubles but God (x2)

went down the hill,
the other day
my soul got happy
and stayed all day


Refrain

went in the room,
didn't stay long,
looked on the bed
and brother was dead

Refrain

有兩種版本,一種是卡通版,一種是老人版,我放的是老人版
在養老院裡孤死的老人家們,會回想起一生裡面,做過哪些事情,但總會有種寂寞的感覺...




9.Machete
Lyrics:Moby Music:Moby

Yesterday I felt so cold, I felt like I could die
Took the needles from my arms and put them to the sky
Watched the cold come take me pull me down like I did know
I saw it gone

Hold myself up til tomorrow holds me down again
Feel the darkness coming over see how it begins
Come with me into the willow garden out tonight
Feel the darkness come my moon will touch you with its light

Help me life was over love I want to had you in my sights
See and I was overlooked I had you in my hands
Like a lid of no survivors nothing I don't mind
Help me broken baby help me break you with my mind





10.7
Lyrics:Moby Music:Moby


這是一分零二秒的間奏



11.Run On
Lyrics:Moby Music:Moby

Lord God Almighty let me tell the news
my head got wet in midnight dew
great God I been down on my bended knees
talking to a man from galilee
michael spoke and he sound so sweet

I thought I heard the shuffle of angels' feet
He put one hand upon my head
great God Almighty let me tell you what He said

[bridge:]
go tell that lonesome liar
go tell that midnight rider [???]
tell the gamblin', ramblin' backslider
tell them God Almighty gonna cut 'em down

[chorus:]
you might run on for a long time
run on, ducking and dodging
run on, children [?], for a long time
let me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you down

you might throw your rock [?], hide your head
work in the dark with your fellow men
sure as God made you rich and poor
you're gonna reap just what you sow

[chorus] x3

some people go to church just to signify
trying to make a date with a neighbor's wife
brother let me tell you just as sure as you're born
you better leave that woman alone

[bridge]
[chorus] x8





12.Down Slow
Lyrics:Moby Music:Moby


快六分鐘的無歌聲,沉穩的拍子一直打著,加上一點日迷幻的音樂,讓人不自覺的聽完(但是這首總是被跳過去,因為會讓人想睡覺)
後面的歌幾乎都會讓人想睡覺...但又加上一些重節奏的拍子




13.If Things Were Perfect
Lyrics:Moby Music:Moby

[sample: 'give me summer'] x2

[sample: 'give me summer'] x2

Broken darkness my cold end
I look for places i've never seen
Nothing moves but the quiet on the street
Now I open my eyes to this
Isolated walking long hard hours
Winter cold just brings me winter showers
It's so brutal with the cold sky
Wrapped in cold  late at night

[sample: 'give me summer'] x2

Come clean, there's no sun yet
The only lights here are made
I can't speak, I can't hear, but I know i'm real
There's no warm here anyway
The darkest lights before the dawn
You remember the sun but it sank
In the water that eats the light
Wrapped in cold  late at night

[sample: 'give me summer'] x2

I open my eyes, it's cold
The only souls go by
Lift the bridge out of the water
The stone black light
Living is easy when it's night
The cold has covered the rain
I can see forever, to the deep
Wrapped in cold, late at night

[sample: 'give me summer'] x4


我總覺得這首和前面那首沒什麼差別,雖然有歌聲了,但是沉穩的拍子還是在(和前首差不多,會讓人想跳過去的歌曲)




14.Everloving
Lyrics:Moby Music:Moby

這首有點像在哼歌一樣,但mv好像提倡環境保護





15.Inside
Lyrics:Moby Music:Moby






16.Guitar Flute & String
Lyrics:Moby Music:Moby





17.The Sky Is Broken
Lyrics:Moby Music:Moby

See the storm is broken
In the middle of the night
Nothing left here for me
It's washed away
The rain pushes
The buildings aside
The sky turns black
The sky
Wash it far
Push it out to sea
There's nothing left here
For me
I watch it lift up to the sky
I watch it crush me
And then I  die

Speak to me baby
In the middle of the night
Pull your mouth
Close to mine

I can see the wind coming down
Like black night
So speak to me
Like the winds outside
It's broken up, pushing us
Hear the rain fall
See the wind come to my eyes
See the storm broken
Now nothing
Speak to me baby
In the middle of the night
Speak to me
Hold your mouth to mine
'cause the sky is breaking
It's deeper than love
I know the way you feel
Like the rains outside
Speak to me


不要以為有歌詞就會high了,我只能說,可以當晚安曲了...





18.My Weakness
Lyrics:Moby Music:Moby

最後一首,也是有點吟唱的感覺,很舒服




再放上幾首他後來的歌曲,總覺得他後來的曲風比較接近搖滾的路線,雖然也有迷幻,但比較少一點
