以暴制暴(二)Sia

Sia，就是那位因Six Feet Under而被介紹到美國進而全世界的澳洲歌手。在前一張06年的專輯 Colour the Small One 她的聲音有一種私密性，彷彿喃喃自語卻又自語地抑揚頓挫隨心所欲，自閉卻又不能讓人忽視。當一不小心聽到她這種聲音配上這種歌時，人類天生愛偷窺愛八卦的心馬上挑起，義無反顧地被捲入她的世界。Amazon 形容聆聽這張轉輯近乎無禮，感覺很像偷偷摸進她的房裡，然後偷讀她的日記… 嗯，也許是美國人太在乎個人空間了，大喇喇如我們台灣人，管她什麼閨房日記的，誰叫她喃喃自語吵到我當然就正大光明走進去哦…

Some People Have Real Problems 08年這張算是她第一張正式向美國出發的專輯，感覺上和前一張不太一樣。這張比較是有對象的傾訴，至少沒有 Breathe Me 那般自怨自艾的語氣，曲調上也較前張輕快些，Amazon 說這張很歌都是 Radio-friendly 電台友善 (也就是在廣播裡放起來會特別好聽 )，也許是因為每首歌的情緒很完整歌又不長的原因吧?

她就是我所謂比較隨心所欲的藝人，和財大氣粗心思縝細的娜姐完全不同。這首歌裡弱勢的她什麼也做不出來，只能低頭離去，至少在這個世界裡，能全身而退也是件不簡單的事了。

也許有人會問，這裡的暴在哪裡? 未完待續嘛。

Sia－The Girl You Lost To Cocaine

I've stuck around, through thick and through thin
You cannot deny, I've always been in
But I've watched you stand, still as a snowman
But I don't see you change, you're always at meltdown

Yeah I've been your crutch, your smell sight and touch
Yeah I took you home when you've drunk too much
But I can't survive, with you by my side
See I'll never get laid, while I'm running your life

No I just don't wanna, so I'm walking away
There is nothing that you can do I will not stay
No I don't need drama, so I'm walking away
Yeah I am a girl with a lot on her plate

So just cut me loose, learn to tie your shoes
There's somebody here, I'd like to introduce
So look in the mirror, look for the glass
'Cause you're not my problem, you are my last

No I just don't wanna, so I'm walking away
There is nothing that you can do I will not stay
No I don't need drama, so I'm walking away
Yeah I am a girl with a lot on her plate

No I just don't wanna, so I'm walking away
There is nothing that you can do I will not stay
No I don't need drama, so I'm walking away
Yeah I am a girl with a lot on her plate

No I just don't wanna, so I'm walking away
There is nothing that you can do I will not stay
No I'm not your mama, so I'm walking away
I'm just a girl that you lost to cocaine


當然得看到最後擺半天的那幅Sia的大頭照，如果看不出來或不知道背景的意義，一切都白搭了。
