关于Standfast:
Standfast成军的过程非常有趣。1997年,Suzanne与Patrick在瑞典首都斯德哥尔摩相识,彼此认为可以组成搭档试试运气。“我们在某个地下室租了一间完全密闭的练团室。那个地方充满了年轻的音乐创作人,日夜不停地在写歌、录试听带。”他们欣赏The Beatles、Everything But the Girl、Pink Floyd、Coldplay以及Erykah Badu等艺人。对于写歌与60年代的旋律有着共同的热情,让Suzanne与Patrick凑在一起。
这两个人相处的模式十分自然、融洽,就像他们的音乐一样,飘荡着北欧特有的浪漫气息,一种冷凝、致腻的银白色浪漫。华语天后许茹芸加盟EMI的首张大碟便决定与Standfast合作,以她特有的美幻派气声唱腔诠《Carcrashes》一曲(中文版曲名《他们的故事》,林夕填词)。洁净却涵蕴丰沛情感的吉他旋律,简单且充满现代质感的电气节奏,Standfast在喧嚣尘音杂浮不定的流行音乐市场中,送给乐迷一个可以细细舐尝音乐甜点的阳光午后。
Car crashes, TV shows
A drunkard on the side of the road
People running (running)
Fantasy or reality
Analysis and theories
What does matter really?
Chorus
Tell me what to believe
Won't you bring me order
Tell me what to achieve
Baby, so I can move forward
Tell me what to be
Car crashes, TV shows
A drunkard on the side of the road
People runnin', run
Credit cards in place of distress
Go live your life on the Internet
That's what this is
Conspiracies and mysteries
Science-fiction make-believe
My kind's misery
Chorus x2
Car crashes, TV shows
A drunkard on the side of the road
People runnin' (running)
(All these car crashes in my head)
Fantasy or reality
Analysis and theories
(All these car crashes)
What does matter really?
(All these car crashes)
