["Sweet Glow Of Silence", Sony Japan, 2012.12.05]
听东西不能太赶，尤其是这种带有旧情结的东西。一帮4AD/Cocteau Twins的老臣不顾卖不动的可能而继续生产这种充满回忆感的东西，本身这事儿就挺「独立」的。于是乎，往往第一耳听下来会觉得大部分属于什么boring shit这是，因而真的不能赶。
Robin Guthrie带来他近年最具有搭档意义的Annie Barker，联手把舘美津男这张二专变成自己后花园，很早时有人说哎呀好无趣好强权哦，可是过了一年再重听其实发现旋律感要比Annie Barker自家作品要强。（听了这么多年东西越听越重视旋律显得我好保守。）最早时喜欢#3《Sarionasute》和#4《An Open Door》这种流行性特别强的，而对太刻意朦胧派Dream-pop的#7《Narissa》和#9《Sailors》略微缺乏耐性。—— 没错，这4首都是Annie Barker唱的，另外还有两首别的女声又尖又利的简直吃不消（好像叫Rico，日本人？）。当时立即上Annie Barker的Facebook要歌词，此女也爽快，piapia贴了出来。这态度，Liz姨得学。
所以今天还是想提#9《Sailors》。其实除了另三首是Annie Barker作词外，这是唯一一首Roddy Frame词曲。此君何人？八十年代新浪潮乐团The Aztec Camera的灵魂人物，和Robin一样的苏格兰人。可是这一首偏偏特别CT，Annie Barker也卯足劲儿在高音假声区盘旋。并不觉得这和Liz Fraser有什么好比的，甚至也没必要和前十年合作过的Siobhan de Maré（Violet Indiana）并论。我喜欢这几首歌的Pop态度，特别坦然。有它自己的范儿，有怀旧色彩，但仍旧不在流行性上打折扣。虽然假声像仙女一样袅来绕去的难唱得要死，仍旧可以予人以在KTV美一把的冲动，蛮有趣。
My dream is coming to me now
My love, oh, how much I need you
My dream is coming to me now
My heart, oh feel it beating
And I'm on my own, the shadows twist and climb
Feel it drawing near
I know this fear, but I won't run this time...
Holding up the stars
It gently curls all the golden leaves and then
Let them blush and fall and rust, while all the while I'm wondering
My dream is coming to me now
My love, oh, how much I need you
My dream is coming to me now
My heart, oh feel it beating
And now could it be, that I've left those days behind
That finally, I'm set free,
Ready and resigned
To living every day, just me and mine
The shipwrecked finally saved
Sink or swim, lose or win
Sailors on the waves
When I was a kid I ran and hid, in dreams of what could be
A castaway, doomed to stay, lost upon the sea
But now those dreams are gone it seems, I dare to wish for more
Now we take that ride, side by side, bound for distant shores
