Roberta Joan Mitchell 原姓Anderson,于1943年11月7日出生在加拿大艾伯塔省的麦克劳德堡,是一位加拿大和美国双国籍的创作型歌手、多乐器演奏家和画家。她九岁时曾患小儿麻痹症, 在十一岁时她随家庭迁居至加拿大萨斯喀彻温省的萨斯卡通市。在这儿Joni 的校园生活并不顺利,她最大的兴趣爱好是绘画,在校期间短暂的学习过古典钢琴然后逐渐发掘并专注于自身的创作天赋,也是在那时她第一次考虑从事歌唱事业,但由于多种原因她曾辍学一学年与一群喧闹的年轻人混迹于市中心,直至她意识到自己快与犯罪相差不远后及时脱身重返校园。
Joni 想学习吉他,由于她的母亲将吉他与乡村音乐联系起来并认为它与乡巴佬文化有所关联所以表示反对,她最终选择了尤克里里,但是Joni 还是通过一本Pete Seeger 的歌曲集自学了吉他。小儿麻痹症使她的左手变得虚弱,因此她发明了特殊的调弦方法来弥补,之后她运用这些调弦方法,在歌曲创作中创造出非标准的和声和结构。从萨斯卡通的高中毕业后,米切尔在萨斯卡通技术学院跟随抽象表现主义画家Henry Bonli 学习艺术,并于1963学年离开家乡前往卡尔加里的阿尔伯塔艺术学院就读。她对学院过分重视技术技巧而忽视自由创作感到失望,并觉得自己与当时盛行的纯粹抽象艺术和商业艺术潮流格格不入。Joni 在20岁时由于意外怀孕,她在一年后彻底退学并开始在加拿大的夜总会演奏,至此她正式加入歌唱行业。
《Turbulent Indigo》于1993年创作至1994年释出,是Joni 职业生涯晚期的最佳专辑。专辑封面是她扮成梵高模样的自画像,展现出她想天马行空的创作才情又表达了对当时美国社会的精妙讽刺; 这位女士在十首歌曲中谈论了,女性权利、社会达尔文主义、资本主义、医疗保障、枪械管控、帮派暴力、全球变暖、消费主义、艾滋病、精神疾病、宗教无用等等问题,而这一切又都映射到自画像上那割去的右耳, 那直视人心的眼神, 那似有若无的气息, 那动荡的靛蓝,毫无疑问的天才之作! 在此之外,十首歌曲中却都潜藏着希望, 揭开旋律的皮面会发现骨中是浪漫作髓,也许这就是《Turbulent Indigo》这张专辑在1996年的格莱美击败《Bedtime Stories》– Madonna, 《Daydream》– Mariah Carey, 《Hell Freezes Over》– The Eagles,《The Woman in Me》– Shania Twain,成功拿到最佳流行专辑奖的原因。
Joni 几乎所有用吉他创作的歌曲都采用了开放式调弦,也就是非标准调弦;她用大约50种不同的调弦方式创作歌曲,演奏她所谓的“琼尼的怪异和弦”。使用另类调弦可以让吉他手创作出更加丰富多样、层次分明的伴奏。多年来,她的右手拨弦/扫弦技巧不断演变,从最初首张专辑中吉他歌曲所体现的复杂拨弦风格,发展成一种更加自由、更有节奏感的风格,有时还会加入打击乐般的“拍击”技巧。在《Turbulent Indigo》这样涉猎多种风格的专辑中Joni 的吉他技巧展示得淋漓尽致,每一次触弦, 每一手转换, 每一下拍击都使音乐激发更耀眼的心灵火花。
《Turbulent Indigo》这张专辑共收录了10首音乐, 总时长43分6秒。毫无疑问的, Joni 的音乐总是吉他占据主导, 仅仅是清唱也足以牵动无数人的心中之遗,再加入爵士元素和复古背景下的音乐可以引发每个灵魂对梦与现实间自我的诘问。本次灵性之旅我为大家从专辑中特选了6首乐曲作为启程叩音,装备你的耳机即刻在瞬息狂迷中复苏!
| She pulls the shade;It's just another sunny Sunday;She dodges the light like Blanche DuBois,Bright colors fade away on such a sunny Sunday;She waits for the night to fall,Then she points a pistol through the door,And she aims at the streetlight,While the freeway hisses,Dogs bark as the gun falls to the floor,The streetlight's still burning;She always misses,But the day she hits,That's the day she'll leave,That one little victory, that's all she needs!She pulls the shade;It's just another sunny Monday,She waits for the night to fall. |
灿烂的周日,一眼看到这个歌名时还以为是欢快的歌曲,不出意外被反差到了。这首歌讲述了一名女子每日夜晚用枪射击屋外路灯的故事,你可能会想这是什么奇怪的歌词,但再次聆听后就会看到一个女性无法真正拥有自由的困境。不过希望永存,可能只需要一个小小胜利, 一次不足道的援助, 一首动人的歌谣,“她”就能挣脱束缚迎来属于自我的色彩。 | I pulled up behind a cadillac,We were waiting for the light,And I took a look at his license plate-,It said just ice,Is justice just ice,Governed by greed lustand,Just the strong doing what they can,And the weak suffering what they must,And the gas leaks,And the oil spills,And sex sells everythin,And sex kill,Sex kills,Doctors pills give you brand new ills,And the bills bury you like an avalanche,And lawyers havent been this popular,Since robespierre slaughtered half of france,And indian chiefs with their old beliefs know,The balance is undone-crazy ions-,You can feel it out in traffic,Everyone hates everyone,And the gas leaks,And the oil spills,And sex sells everythin,And sex kill,Sex kills,All these jackoffs at the office,The in rapist the pool,Oh and the tragedies in the nurseries-,Little kids packin guns to school,The ulcerated ozone,These tumors of the skin-,This hostile sun beating down on,This massive mess were in!And the gas leaks,And the oil spills,And sex sells everythin,And sex kill,Sex kills,Sex kills,Sex kills,Sex kills. |
这首歌曲提及众多20世纪后期美国内的热议话题,包括国际暴力、仇恨犯罪,艾滋病、全球变暖和消费主义等,隐喻了社会达尔文主义造成的悲惨人间。都是沉重的话题,但Joni 的歌喉里正义激励人直面并思考这些问题的现实影响对每个人的威胁! 我有时候会想人类必须停止互相争斗了! 但又觉得这根本不能实现… 希望世界和平这不是玩笑,至少我们应当思考,我们不能断绝想象,世界是一体的。 | Hard bodies,Soft emotions,So fast,So smart,The world is at feetyour,But what about your heart,Fame and fortune cant hold you tight,In the late late hours of the night,How do you stop,Before its too late,choose You and you lose,you If hesitate,How do you stop,Before its too late,You think love will wait,So you dont hold on,And then its gone,Youve had success-,Lots of fancy friends,Youve tasted the good life,You thought it would never end,One day youre too young,Then youre in your prime,Then youre looking back at the hands of time,How do you stop,Before its too late,You choose and you lose,If you hesitate,How do you stop,Before its too late,You think love will wait,So you dont hold on,And then its gone,How do you stop a runaway train,do you stop How the driving rain,How do you stop the ripening corn,How do you stop a baby being born,How do you stop,Before its too late,You choose and you lose,If you hesitate,How do you stop,Before its too late,How do you stop,Youre lost if you hesitate,How do you stop,Love from slipping away,How stopdo you,Before its too late. |
这是整专唯一的翻唱歌曲,Joni 的版本更为连续且更柔和,新加入了“How do you stop the ripening corn,How do you stop a baby being born”两句歌词,既有自然元素也有亲身经历令人共鸣,新改编运用到的独特吉他技巧更是让人欲罢不能~ 这首歌曲莫名的让我想到爱乐之城,关于选择, 拒绝,是否该停下,如何能停下? | You wanna make van goghs,Raise em up like sheep,Make em out of eskimos,And women if you please,Make em nice and normal,Make em nice and neat,You see him with his shotgun there,Bloodied in the wheat,Oh what do you know about,Living in turbulent indigo,Brash fields, crude crows,In a scary sky,In a golden frame,Roped off,Tourists guided by,Tourists talking about the madhouse,Talking about the ear,The madman hangs in fancy homes,They wouldnt let him near,Hed piss in their fireplace,Hed drag them through turbulent indigo,Im a burning hearth, he said,People see the smoke,But no one to comes warm themselves,Sloughing off a coat,And all my little landscapes,All my yellow afternoons,Stack up around this vacancy,Like dirty cups and spoons,No mercy sweet jesus,No mercy from turbulent indigo. |
专辑同名曲环节! 如此靛蓝正是这张专辑的灵魂,将自己视成梵高让自己接近精神病患的思想,彻底放飞自我的思绪接收每一束涌动的灵感,站到灵魂和现实间的湍流中,凝望如此靛蓝! 反复出现的麦田, 割耳, 风暴, 精神病院的意象让我彻底沉浸于Indigo中,不用解释也不需要怜悯,没有什么可怜的,一切如此完美! (*˘︶˘*) | Last lostchance,In the tyranny of a long good-bye,Last chance lost,We talk of us with deadly earnest eyes,Last chance lost,We talk of love in terms of sacrifice and compromise,Last chance,Last chance lost,Last chance lost,The hero cannot make the change,Last chance lost,The shrew will not be tamed,Last chance lost,They bicker on the rifle range,Blame takes aim,Last chance,Last chance lost. |
再见,永远不见,最后的机会,人类永远不会反省,咎由自取是精确的词。人们总是想当然的进行牺牲,他们又总在妥协中反抗… 这首是我本专的Top1反而说不出什么了,当然会有下一个梵高,下一次谈话,但Last Chance Lost | He met her in a french cafe,She slipped in sideways like a cat,Sidelong glances,What a straywary little,She sticks in his mind like that,Saying, avez-vous un allumette,With her lips wrapped around cigarettea,Yvette in english saying,please have this,Little bit of instant bliss,He's fumbling with her foreign tongue,Reaching for words and drawing blanks,A loud mouth is stricken deaf and dumb,In a bistro on the left bank,if i were a painter, picasso said,i'd paint this girl from toe to head,Yvette in english saying,please have this,Little bit of instant bliss,Burgundy nocturne tips and spills,They trot along nicely in the spreading stain,New chills, new thrills,For the old uphill battle,How did he wind up here again,Walking and talking,Touched and scared,Uninsulated wires left bare,Yvette in english going,please have this,Little bit of instant bliss.What blew her like a leaf his way,up in the air and down to earth,First she flusters,Then she frays,So quick to question her own worth,Her cigarette burns her fingertips,As it falls like fireworks she curses it,Then sweetly in english she says,please have this,Little bit of instant bliss,He sees her turn and walk away,Skittering like a cat on stone,Her high heels clicking,What a wary straylittle,She leaves him by the seine alone,With the black water and amber the lights,And the bony bridge between left and right,Yvette in english saying,please have this,Little bit of instant bliss. |
塞纳河畔,精神病患的邂逅,浪漫从骨中溢出,完全是写入经典小说里或拍成大荧幕级别的故事。这首歌是来自David Crosby 的灵感,他邀请Joni 加入创作,Joni 在只保留重要短句意象的删减后与David 共同确定最终版,就是现在我们所知的迷人的此版。Joni 职业生涯晚期的嗓音甚至给这首歌曲注入了意料外的醇厚; 再次,完全爱上这位才女的吉他技巧!
一直想在泥潭推Joni 来着,此才女如此多的仙品专辑实在让本可难以抉择,选来选去还是决定首推《Turbulent Indigo》,这张应当素她所有专辑中大众接受度最高的一张噜~
想夸Joni 根本夸不完惹~ 在2003年,《滚石》杂志将她排定为史上第72位最伟大的吉他手,她是榜单上排名最高的女性。(¬_¬)才第72位,实在素有眼无珠厚! Joni 的音乐风格引起了许多女性听众的共鸣。在男性摇滚明星刻板形象盛行的时代,她展现出“多面且矛盾的自我”,这使她在女性歌迷中建立了强大的认同感。Joni 在其整个职业生涯中都坚持对艺术创作的掌控,至今仍拥有其音乐的出版权。她否认自己是“女权主义者”;在2013年的一次采访中,她拒绝了这个标签并表示: “我不是女权主义者。我不想组建一个反抗男性的团体。我宁愿正面交锋,解决问题。” 女王秒了靴靴ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ
本可沉迷Joni Michell 算起来有5年了,初次发现这位歌手时简直惊为天人,这独特的吉他技巧简直让本可如痴如醉,再去翻访谈发现竟然素在年少病痛中坚持创作而发明出的方法更是彰显人格魅力和天赋才华,玛雅, 天女降世不过如此噜♡(*˘︶˘*)♡ 后来继续深挖Joni 这位天才本可又发现,她就是“Ladies of the Canyon”本人,我说怎么本可爱惨了打雷的《Bartender》,原来早有伏笔! 平凡铸就伟大的人,伟大的人回归平凡,希望能真切地推荐到Joni 仙女给大家(๓´╰╯`๓)
