Nick Drake 簡介
Nick Drake譯作尼克·德雷克,是一名英年早逝的英國搖滾歌手,擅長民謠搖滾(Folk-Rock)、迷幻(Psychedelic)、巴洛克流行(Baroque Pop)等風格的音樂,所寫歌詞極具詩性,有畫面感和韻律感。他一生只出版過三張專輯,都已成為民謠經典而傳世。 |
水上人(River Man)
River Man 是尼克·德雷克首張專輯中的歌曲,在精緻的旋律中充滿了憂傷。這首歌藉由Betty,寫出了尼克·德雷克對內心的探索:去看望水上人,我要告訴他一切……我不知道這對我有何意義.... 噢, 他們是怎樣的來來往往。" 在迴環往復的歌詞和行雲流水的旋律中,聽者如同坐在小船上,在一條被時間遺忘的河上順流而下。River Man一直被認為是Nick Drake最好的作品之一。
