Weeds 裡發現 Alanis Morissette

第五季的 Weeds 雖然有點讓人失望,但其中飾演 Dr. Audra Kitson 的加拿大歌手 Alanis Morissette 卻表現亮眼。裡面一場近乎全裸的演出,甚至讓人好奇她的保養之道到底為何。其實早在2000年她就曾在 Sex and the City 裡小試身手,也陸續在一些電影影集裡演些小角色。

自從 1995 Jagged Little Pill 後商業銷售成績就一直不太理想的 Alanis Morissette,讓人快忘了其實她是一位天賦異稟型歌手,當年她那銳利的歌詞加上完美的轉音,至今聽來還是不褪流行。原本為 Gap 的廣告翻唱 Seal 1991 的 Crazy,讓人發現她把她的聲音保養得和她的身體一樣好,現場爆發力不輸當年。

有趣的是,原唱者 Seal 的現場版和 Alanis Morissette 的比較起來,顯得含蓄溫柔多了。

這首歌同時收錄在 2005 個人精選 The Collection 和 2006 電影原聲帶 The Devil Wears Prada。


Crazy

In a church by the face
He talks about the people going under
Only child knows...

A man decides after seventy years
That what he goes there for, is to unlock the door,
While those around him criticize and sleep...
And through a fractal on a breaking wall,
I see you my friend and touch your face again,
Miracles will happen as we dream

But we're never gonna survive unless
We get a little crazy
No we're never gonna survive unless
We are a little...

Crazy...

Yellow people walking through my head.
One of them's got a gun, shoot the other one.
And yet together they were friends at school
Ohh, get it, get it, get it, no no no!
If I were there when we first took the pill,
Then maybe, then maybe, then maybe, then maybe...
Miracles will happen as we speak

Crazy...
No no, we'll never survive, unless we get a little...bit...

In a sky full of people, only some want to fly.
Isn't that crazy?
In a world full of people, only some want to fly.
Isn't that crazy?
Crazy...
In a heaven of people there's only some want to fly.
Ain't that crazy? Crazy, crazy... crazy...

No no, we'll never survive unless, we get a little bit...
