回听英美七八十年代的慢摇滚
英美七八十年代的歌,以前听得不多。
八十年代还在国内时,英美当时的流行音乐除了迪士科舞曲外,就只听说过迈克杰克逊的了。那些年国内流行台湾的校园歌曲,清新而动听。当时自己还产生了一个疑问,觉得英美的流行音乐太吵闹了,除了蹦跳嘶喊外沒几首值得可听的。当然这也和自己是音盲有关,平常只跟着别人听。世面上英美音乐別人播放得少,当然自己也就无从知晓了。
来到加拿大后也只是看看电影或者音乐剧,加拿大的音乐人除了 Celine Dion 和 Shania Twain 知道外其他的听说的不多。即使她俩,演出的时间也以美国居多,毕竟那边的市场比加拿大多了十来倍。
两千年前后女儿上了中学,有了自己的音乐欣赏能力,也开始追星。我们也就跟着知道 Britney Spears, Avril Lavigne 和 Backstreet Boys。那几年的热过后女儿不咋追星了,流行音乐我们也就听得少了。
这一年因为闹病毒,关在家里实在是闲闷得难受,只得上网想方设法找机会排解内心的郁闷。最初是看旅游的视频,然后是听人聊世界史,再后来听人朗诵唐诗讲解古文观之。打发时间和无奈之余,也长了不少知识。
上个月有一天,网上实在找不到听的了。绞尽脑汁之余突发奇想,何不找些英美七八十年代的摇滚音乐来听,喜欢与否不说但至少有自己的体验。沒想到这个脑袋中一时闪过的念头,竟让自己见识了一个音乐的宝库。摇滚音乐中也不全是那种蹦跳嘶喊的硬摇滚,也有慢摇滚的如叙如述和一往情深。音乐中,还是当年万里迢迢投奔的那个北美,那个时代。音乐的风味可以改变,但永远不变的是人们的记忆和情感。
喜欢那个时代的音乐,不仅仅是因为是同龄人,更因为有情感上的共鸣。六十年代的音乐是激情,两千年后的音乐讲调情,只有七八十时代的音乐述说的是人的感情。人生之路有这些音乐为伴前行,很知足了。
