挪威清新：我們在奧斯陸分手 The Little Hands of Asphalt
Artist:The Little Hands of Asphalt
Song:Oslo
It was a moment for the books.
The calendar looked
just like the novels we had only skimmed through.
So I circled out the dates that I’ll skillfully waste.
For now that’s going to have to do.
It was the brightest summer day, after we swam in the lake,
that you told me our luck is gonna end.
So we better be concerned. We’re where the subway turns.
We need a camera and some cash to spend.
And our picturesque blame; we’ll put it in IKEA-frames.
Up on the wall it looks profound,
and reminds us Oslo is a small, small town. (Yeah)
So it’s night and we dive into a basement that’s alive
with stupidity that melts into pairs.
But your good intent was clear when you split and left me here
to regret I left my high horse upstairs.
And with the way I say goodbye
I could have ruined everything.
But I’ll be seeing you around
because Oslo is a small, small town.
I’m keeping myself calm
if just for the sake of staying warm.
So with my eyes fixed on the ground
I admitted Oslo is a small, small town. (Yeah)
??? 假使每個月都能有如此出色的獨立民謠問世?？赡芫蜎]有那么多人再抱怨如今的音樂大不如前了。這樣的稱贊未免有些過頭，但遠遠不足以表達我對這張唱片的喜愛之情。這只樂隊來自挪威首都奧斯陸，今年早些時候曾發(fā)行過一張EP《Spit Back at the Rain》，而在全新錄音室專輯《Leap Years》中，開篇曲就叫做《Oslo》。他們的音樂與Brgiht Eyes,Ally Kerr等有幾分相似，清新的原聲吉他配以溫柔至極的人聲，沒有華麗的樂器編配，沒有復雜的歌曲架構，但絕對好聽的旋律已經能掩蓋所有不足之處了。說到底，這是至今以來我聽過的最好的2009唱片。（摘自Hit輕音樂雜志樂評）
