Artist:Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band
Song:Cabbage Town

All that blotter going to twist up your mind

You can do it, just not all the time

Hiding in your room, you'll be feeling fine

Always manage to have something to sell

Talk on the telephone while painting your nails

Little plastic bags and a digiscale

Aw, this hallway's full of plastic kids

Aw, they jump and make the CD skip

I'm never telling what I find out
I'm going to love you like the New South
You drive me crazy with your foul mouth
Until you meet me down in Cabbage Town
Down in Cabbage Town

好聽的音樂，滬江與我一同去美國(guó)(*^__^*)

The way I see it we got plenty of time
It's going to happen but just not overnight
Bring a pack of cards and a box of wine
Oh, on the day when I flash that badge
Just try to think of the other half
It's hard living
When it's a matter of fact
But this city's full of lazy kids
Sweetie, someone's got to steer this ship

I'm never telling what I find out
I'm going to love you like the New South
You make me crazy with your foul mouth
Come on and meet me down in Cabbage Town
Come down to Cabbage Town

Well it's just like old friends
To play "Remember When . . . ?"
But if you want my help, I'm in

I'm never telling what I found out
I'm going to love you like the New South
You're talking crazy with your loud mouth
Come on and meet me down in Cabbage Town
Oh, come to Cabbage Town

I'm never telling what I find out
I'm going to make it like a new sound
You make me crazy with your foul mouth
Oh, won't you meet me down in Cabbage Town
Come down to Cabbage Town

Oh
Come on to Cabbage Town
Come down to Cabbage Town
Come to Cabbage Town

??? 不管是Bright Eyes、Mystic Valley Band還是Conor Oberst，細(xì)究起來(lái)其實(shí)都是圍繞在以Conor Oberst個(gè)體為中心的富于社會(huì)責(zé)任感的音樂團(tuán)隊(duì)，這個(gè)年輕、帥氣的大男孩早已化身成為美國(guó)新生代的社會(huì)發(fā)言人。以犀利、睿智、優(yōu)美的歌詞為依托，再輔以簡(jiǎn)潔有力、來(lái)自底層的布魯斯民謠式旋律，Conor Oberst的音樂得以深入人心并鼓舞鞭策年輕人的思想潮流。

　　不再掩藏在Bright Eyes當(dāng)中，高產(chǎn)的Conor Oberst又一次與他的伴奏樂隊(duì)Mystic Valley Band合作，發(fā)出新專輯《Outer South》，而這張《Outer South》距離他的上張同名專輯《Conor Oberst》才不到一年的時(shí)間。當(dāng)被太多媒體比喻做新世紀(jì)的Bob Dylan之后，Conor Oberst無(wú)論是在政治觀點(diǎn)的表達(dá)上，還是在音樂風(fēng)格的走向上，都愈發(fā)朝著Dylan的方向發(fā)展，他也慢慢從一個(gè)搖滾少年轉(zhuǎn)變成了一個(gè)有著成熟個(gè)人觀點(diǎn)的民謠歌者。

　　如果單單從悅耳度上去評(píng)判這張包含有十六首歌曲的專輯的話，難免會(huì)落得個(gè)頭重腳輕的差評(píng)，畢竟相仿的旋律令人在聽到中后部分時(shí)，就難免萌生厭煩情緒；如果想再在這張專輯當(dāng)中找到Conor Oberst放入其中的諸如“反美國(guó)、反商業(yè)主義、反消費(fèi)主義”等觀點(diǎn)的話，也會(huì)感到這些在早前相當(dāng)尖銳的政治態(tài)度，已經(jīng)在這張《Outer South》當(dāng)中有了明顯的削減，也許是因?yàn)閵W巴馬的掌權(quán)多少讓Conor Oberst重新看到了前方的光明吧！(文/新浪)
