“今天,之所以区别于昨天,恰恰是因为昨天的感受依然在我们心中……”——《与青春有关的日子》
如果能用代表作来记载“the Cranberries”(“小红莓乐队”,又译“卡百利”)的成长历程,很愿意把“Dreams”比作空灵、未经尘世浊染的孩童, 把“Zombie”视为叛逆、狂野不羁的少年,把“Never grow old”看作忧伤、追逝童年的忆者。
“Dreams”中(参比王菲的翻唱版《梦中人》),主唱Dolores独特的烟音发声空灵、缥缈,恍若天外诡异的精灵;“Zombie”里(参比李宇春的翻唱版“Zombie”),Dolores用有力的唱腔发出了叛逆的宣言;“Never grow old”中,我们听到了风暴过后的舒缓与和谐,在主唱追逝童年的思绪中,过去的一切——蓝天、白云、奔跑、欢笑 —— 渐渐变得清晰、明朗……

Zombie
Another head hangs lowly,
Child is slowly taken.
And the violence caused such silence,
Who are we mistaken?
But you see, it's not me, it's not my family.
In your head, in your head they are fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are crying
In your head, in your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie,
Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head,
In your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, dou, dou, dou, dou, dou
Another mother's breakin',
Heart is taking over.
When the vi'lence causes silence,
We must be mistaken.
It's the same old theme since nineteen-sixteen.
In your head, in your head they're still fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are dying
In your head, in your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie,
Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head,
In your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, hey, oh, ya, ya-a
