鋼琴詩人 Daniel Powter (上)


比起「城市琴人」這個唱片公司取的名字,我還比較喜歡鋼琴詩人這個稱號。Daniel的聲音其實不是我會喜歡的那種有些壓扁式的嗓音,然而,卻跟他所具備的滄桑感十分搭配。

「我從不知道自己在彈奏什麼,只是跟隨腦海裡的動聽樂音,然後繼續彈下去。」—Daniel
他的歌批判、諷刺的色彩其實很強烈,像是最近配合汽車廣告猛打的Free Loop分明就是一首兩個人都出軌的歌嘛!可即使如果不仔細聽,不明白他創作時的想法,我想大家依舊會被其常有輕快或活潑的曲風所吸引。(Free Loop搭配的廣告還滿溫馨的,除了廣告中男女主角各自有著自己對車的幻想外,我不太明白那跟歌詞裡的情境有何關係 XD)

Daniel算是一個大器晚成的音樂人,因為Bad Day一曲開始發光時,他也已年過30了。據說他小時候是學小提琴的,卻因此被同儕欺負才放棄了古典樂;雖然有才華,卻又因表演時太過害羞,所以拖到現在......真是個有趣的人。而且,他還因有閱讀障礙,所以不喜歡讀譜,喜歡用自己的方式演奏,這不正是通俗故事中典型的天才嗎?!XDDDD

我覺得Free Loop(我喜歡這首的音樂,不喜歡歌詞)的MV倒是很能描寫他的經歷,那個眷戀著鋼琴至今的男孩。




「這是用了類固醇的鍵盤音樂,」Daniel說。
Lyric of Free Loop:

I'm a little used to calling outside your name
I wont see you tonight so I can keep from going insane
But I don't know enough, I get some kinda lazy day
Hey yeah

I've been fabulous through to fight my town a name
I'll be stooped tomorrow if I don't leave as them both the same
But I dont know enough, I get some kinda lazy day
Hey yeah

Cause it's hard for me to lose
In my life I've found only time will tell
And I will figure out that we can baby
We can do a one night stand, yeah

And it's hard for me to lose in my life
I've found outside your skin right near the fire
That we can baby
We can change and feel alright

I'm a little used to wandering outside the rain
You can leave me tomorrow if it suits you just the same
But I don't know enough, I need someone who leaves the day
Hey yeah

Cause it's hard for me to lose
In my life I've found only time will tell
And I will figure out that we can baby
We can do a one night stand, yeah

And it's hard for me to lose in my life
I've found outside your skin right near the fire
That we can baby
We can change and feel alright

Cause it's hard for me to lose
In my life I've found only time will tell
I will figure out that we can baby
We can do a one night stand, yeah

And it's hard for me to lose in my life
I've found outside your skin right near the fire
That we can baby
We can change and feel alright

Cause it's hard for me to lose
In my life I've found only time will tell
And I will figure out that we can baby
We can do a one night stand, yeah

And it's hard for me to lose in my life
I've found outside your skin right near the fire
That we can baby
We can change and feel alright
