創作背景
The Pretty Reckless is an alternative rock band from New York City that was formed and is fronted by American actress and model Taylor Momsen. Other members include Ben Phillips (guitar), Mark Damon (bass) and Jamie Perkins (drums). The band was originally going to be called "The Reckless", but was changed to The Pretty Reckless due to trademark problems.Their debut album entitled Light Me Up is due to be released on August 31, 2010. They released their first single "Make Me Wanna Die" on May 13, 2010. The single peaked at 1# on the UK Rock Chart and was received with positive reviews. Taylor Momsen:“不誇張地說,我從5歲就開始寫歌和玩吉他。”
和一般手拿芭比、穿著蛋糕裙的小姑娘不同,音樂才是泰勒的玩具。“我一直很喜歡搖滾,披頭士、綠洲、涅槃都是我的最愛。特別是科特·柯本(涅槃主唱)、瓊·傑特(《I Love RocknRoll》原作者)絕對是我音樂的靈感來源。”
她通過《緋聞女孩》達到了高知名度之後,義無反顧地走上了搖滾之路。“每個人都因為《緋聞女孩》里的角色來判定我,但注意,我不是珍妮·翰弗瑞,我是泰勒·莫姆森,音樂中才是真正的我。”其實熟知泰勒的人應該知道,當《緋聞女孩》走入第二季時,乖乖的珍妮就塗上了煙燻裝,充滿了叛逆,這應該是這個角色唯一和泰勒相似的地方。有不少人勸告泰勒好好做偶像,搖滾實在是個風險投資,但泰勒一定要做出自己。“自始至終,我應該唱搖滾,我從沒有想過唱流行歌。因為我骨子裡就是搖滾的,只不過生活在流行世界裡罷了。搖滾喜歡直接唱,而流行則假惺惺地唱,‘我喜歡打扮’。後者毫無意義。”
關於為什麼組樂隊而不是一創作歌手,泰勒解釋,“我想找人和我一起完成我的夢想,表達出我要的音樂。”其中的關鍵字就是“泰勒的音樂”。這份執著 ,讓The Pretty Reckless經歷過一次徹底換血,原因是舊團員無法表達出泰勒想要的音樂。
早在09年初,泰勒就率領了三個成員錄製了小樣,並且還在美國朋克雙人女組合The Veronicas的巡演中當開場嘉賓。但泰勒不管樂隊已經曝光,因為樂隊成員無法適應她音樂風格的原因而將他們果斷開除。目前,The Pretty Reckless由她擔當創作、主唱、吉他,本·飛利浦是另一個吉他手、馬克·戴蒙是貝斯手,吉米·珀金斯是鼓手。“二輪”The Pretty Reckless的風格和“首輪”相比,曲風顯得更加不客氣,更加黑暗。
泰勒的堅持和徹底獲得了媒體的一致好評。權威的搖滾網上雜誌BLARE給出了四顆星的優秀評價。而BBC的評論也指出,17歲的泰勒在甜美和暴戾中轉換得遊刃有餘,如樂隊名The Pretty Reckless一樣,美並魯莽著。
樂隊The Pretty Reckless的首張專輯《Light Me Up》於2010年8月30日在英國首次發行,2010年5月13日發布第一首單曲。這張專輯催生了三個中等程度的成功單曲和其中最顯著的單曲“Make Me Wanna Die”成為“英國搖滾排行”置頂單曲。2012年初,樂隊發行了他們的第二張EP《Hit Me Likea Man》以及兩手單曲的MV,第二張EP的發布同時The Pretty Reckless也進行著他們的第二次巡迴演出。The Pretty Reckless2010年的第一次世界巡迴演出是為了宣傳樂隊的第一張專輯《Light Me Up》。在第一次巡迴演出結束後的四天,The Pretty Reckless就開始著手準備第二次的巡迴演出“ The Medicine Tour”,他們作為Marilyn Manson 和 Evanescence的後援支持登台表演。

1. My Medicine The Pretty Reckless - My Medicine
Somebody mixed my medicine
Somebody mixed my medicine
You hurt when you sleep
And you sleep where you lie
Now your in deep and now your gonna cry
You got a woman th the left and a boy to the right
Start to sweat so hold me tight
Somebody mixed my medicine
I don't know what I'm on
Somebody mixed my medicine
But baby it's all gone
Somebody mixed my medicine
Somebody's in my head again
Somebody mixed my medicine
Again, again
I'll drink what you leak
And smoke what you sigh
Straight across the room with a look in your eye
I got a man to the left and a girl to the right
Start to sweat so hold me tight
Somebody mixed my medicine
I don't know what I'm on
Somebody mixed my medicine
But baby it's all gone
Somebody mixed my medicine
Somebody's in my head again
Somebody mixed my medicine
Again, again
There a tiger in the room and a baby in a closet
Pour another drink mom i don't even want it
Then I turn around and think i see someone that looks like you
You hurt when you sleep
And you sleep where you lie
Now your in deep and now your gonna cry
You got a woman th the left and a boy to the right
Start to sweat so hold me tight
Somebody mixed my medicine
I don't know what I'm on
Somebody mixed my medicine
But baby it's all gone
Somebody mixed my medicine
Somebody's in my head again
Somebody mixed my medicine
Again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again
Somebody mixed my medicine
Somebody mixed my medicine
Somebody mixed my medicine
2. Since You’re Gone
The Pretty Reckless - Since You're Gone
Since you hide, since you steal
Since you hate everything I feel
Since you cheat, since you lie
Since you don't wanna try things I wanna try
Since you been gone
My life has moved along quite nicely actually
Got a lot more friends and I don't have to pretend
Since you're gone, since you're gone
Since you're not what I want
You can take everything I've got
Take the seat, take the drive
If I say I love you, I am a liar
Since you been gone
My life has moved along quite nicely actually
Well, meet my lover Gin and I don't have to pretend
Since you're gone, since you're gone
I've been looking for a new direction, anyway
I've been thinkin'bout my own protection, instead
Now that you're gone my life has moved along
Now that you're gone my life has moved along
Now that you're gone my life has moved along
Now that you're gone
Since you hide, since you steal
Since you hate everything I feel
Since you cheat, since you lie
Since you don't wanna try things I wanna try
Since you been gone
My life has moved along quite nicely actually
Quite nicely actually, quite nicely actually
Quite nicely actually, quite nicely actually
Quite nicely
3. Make Me Wanna Die
The Pretty Reckless - Make Me Wanna Die
Take me, I'm alive, never was a girl with a wicked mind
But everything looks better, when the sun goes down
I had everything, opportunities for eternity and I
could belong to the night
Your eyes, your eyes, I can see in your eyes, your eyes
You make me wanna die
I'll never be good enough
You make me wanna die
And everything you love, right up in the light
Every time I look inside your eyes
Make me wanna die
Taste me drink my soul, show me all the things that I
shouldn't know, when there's a new moon on the rise
I had everything, opportunities for eternity and I
could belong to the night
Your eyes, your eyes, I can see in your eyes, your eyes
You make me wanna die
I'll never be good enough
You make me wanna die
And everything you love, right up in the light
Every time I look inside your eyes (I'm running in the light)
Make me wanna die
I would die for you, my love, my love
I would lie for you, my love, my love (make me wanna die)
I would steal for you, my love, my love(make me wanna die)
I would die for you, my love, my love
But up in the light...
Every time I look inside your eyes (I'm running in the light)
Up inside your eyes (I'm running in the light)
Look inside your eyes
You make me wanna die
4. Light Me Up
The Pretty Reckless - Light Me Up
Does what I'm wearing seems to shock you?
Well that's okay, 'cause what I'm thinking about you is not okay
I've got it on my mind to change my ways
But I don't think I can be anything other than me
I don't think I can be anything other than me
Do you have a light?
Can you make me feel alright?
There's plenty of light to go around
Do you think its right when you hit me to the ground?
Well, light me up when I'm down
Light me up when I'm down
Does what I'm saying seems to haunt you?
Well that's okay, 'cause what I'm saying about you is not okay
I've got it on my mind to change my ways
But I don't think I can be anything other than me
I don't think I can be anything other than me
Do you have a light?
Can you make me feel alright?
There's plenty of light to go around
Do you think its right when you hit me to the ground?
Well, light me up when I'm down
Just light me up when I'm down
Just light me up when I'm down
Light me up when I'm down
Does what I'm taking seem to bother you
well that's okay 'cause I can take it all without you and I'm okay
I've got it on my mind to change my ways
But I don't think I can be anything other than me
No I don't think I can be anything other than me
Do you have a light?
Can you make me feel alright?
There's plenty of light to go around
Do you think its right when you hit me to the ground?
Well, light me up when I'm down
Light me up when I'm down
Just light me up when I'm down
Light me up when I'm down
5.Just Tonight
The Pretty Reckless - Just Tonight
Here we are and I can think from all the pills I ate
Start the car and take me home
Here we are and you're too drunk to hear a word I say
Start the car and take me home
Just tonight I will stay
And we'll throw it all away
When the light hits your eyes
It's telling me I'm right
And if I, I am through
It's all because of you
Just tonight
But here I am and I can't seem to see straight
But I'm too numb to feel right now
And here I am watching the clock that's ticking away my time
I'm too numb to feel right now
Just tonight I will stay
And we'll throw it all away
When the light hits your eyes
It's telling me I'm right
And if I, I am through
It's all because of you
Just tonight
Just Tonight
Do you understand who I am
Do you wanna know
Can you really see through me now
I am 'bout to go
But just tonight I won't leave
I'll lie and you'll believe
Just tonight I will see
It's all because of me
Just tonight I will stay
And we'll throw it all away
When the light hits your eyes
It's telling me I'm right
And if I, I am through
It's all because of you
Just tonight
It's all because of you
Just tonight
It's all because of you
Just tonight
It's all because of you
Just tonight
6. Miss Nothing
The Pretty Reckless - Miss Nothing
I'm Miss Autonomy
Miss Nowhere
I'm at the bottom of me
Miss Androgyny
Miss Don't Care What I've Done To Me
I am misused, I don't wanna do
Be not your slave
Misguided, I mind it.
I'm missin' the train.
And I don't know where I've been
And I don't know what I'm into
And I don't know what I've done to me
And as I watch you disappear into the ground
My one mistake was that I never let you down
So I'll waste my time, and I'll burn my mind
On Miss Nothing, Miss Everything
I'm Miss Fortune
Miss So Soon
I'm like a bottle of pain
Miss Matter
You had her, now she's goin' away
I'm misused, misconstrued
I don't need to be saved
Miss Slighted, I mind it
I'm stuck in the rain
And I don't know where I am
And I don't know what I'm into
And I don't know what I've done to me
And as I watch you disappear into the ground
My one mistake was that I never let you down
So I'll waste my time, and I'll burn my mind
On Miss Nothing, Miss Everything
Miss Everything
And as I watch you disappear into my head
Well, there's a man who's tellin' me I might be dead
So I'll waste my time, and I'll burn my mind
So I'll waste my time, and I'll burn my mind
On Miss Nothing, Miss Everything
7.Goin' Down
The Pretty Reckless - Goin' Down
there Father, I don't wanna bother you
But I've got a sin to confess
I'm just sixteen if you know what I mean
Do you mind if I take off my dress?
Don't know where to start, let me get to the good parts
Might wanna cross up your legs
I've got envy, I've got greed, anything that you need
And I'm not above having to beg
There was this boy who
Tore my heart in two
I had to lay him
Eight feet underground
I need someone to save me
'Cause I am goin' down
And what I need is someone to save me
'Cause I am goin' down
All the way down
Well hey there Father, there is just one other thing
I have a simple request
I hear you know God, could you give him a nod
In my direction, I'd be in your debt
Perhaps there is something that we could work out
I notice your breathing is starting to change
We could go in the back behind all these shacks
And these bibles and get out of this cage
There was this boy who
Tore my heart in two
I had to lay him
Eight feet underground
I need someone to save me
'Cause I am goin' down
And what I need is someone to save me
'Cause I am goin' down
All the way down
I didn't wanna do it Father
But I caught him with another woman
In the bed I made
And so I put him in a grave
And now there's no one left around
To get me off when I wanted to drag
The next day on the television
They identified him by the circumcision
That I made and now I'm on the run but wait
Why did I have to go and kill him
When he was the best I ever had?
All I need is someone to save me
'Cause I am goin' down
What I need is something to save me
'Cause God I'm goin' down
All the way down
8.Nothing Left To Lose
The Pretty Reckless - Nothing Left To Lose
I was only 19, you were 29
It's just 10 years, but it's such a long time
In a heartbeat, I would do it all again
Late night sex, smokin' cigarettes
I try real hard but I can't forget
Now in a heartbeat, I would do it all again
Now I see that you and me were never meant
Never meant to be now
Now I'm lost somewhere
Lost between Elvis and suicide
Ever since the day we died, well
I've got nothing left to lose
After Jesus and Rock N Roll
Couldn't save my immoral soul, well
I've got nothing left
I've got nothing left to lose
Callin' out sins just to pass the time
My life goes by in the blink of an eye
I know you want me
I was only lookin' for a friend
And everything that I was
And everything that I've become
Just falls into the end and
Now I see that you and me were never meant
Never meant to be now
Now I'm lost somewhere
Lost between Elvis and suicide
Ever since the day we died, well
I've got nothing left to lose
After Jesus and Rock N Roll
Couldn't save my immoral soul, well
I've got nothing left
I've got nothing left to lose
Now I see that you and me were never meant
Never meant to be now
Now I'm lost somewhere
Lost between Elvis and suicide
Ever since the day we died, well
I've got nothing left to lose
After Jesus and Rock N Roll
Couldn't save my immoral soul, well
I've got nothing left
I've got nothing left to lose
9.Factory Girl
The Pretty Reckless - Factory Girl
I am a factory girl, won't you pardon me?
See I can make my whole world in a backseat
Lost point, want a joint, show me how to treat a john
Someone save me, save me from what I'm on
Wait a minute girl, can you show me to the party?
I said wait a minute girl, can you show me to the party?
Just let me in through the backdoor
Just let me in through the backdoor, baby
Just let me in through the backdoor, just let me in
Wait a minute girl, can you show me to the party?
It's gonna be a real good time
I'm waiting for my man and hollywood and vine, so fine
Been done in the alley, son I'm on New York time
Take a look at those red lights, green lights, blowin' my mind
I'll show you somethin' if you show me a good time
Wait a minute girl, can you show me to the party?
Wait a minute girl, can you show me to the party?
I'll let you in through the backdoor
I'll let you in through the backdoor, baby
I'll let you in through the backdoor, I'll let you in
Wait a minute girl, can you show me to the party?
Here she comes, coming around again
Here she comes, coming around again
Here she comes, coming around again
Here she comes, she's coming again
Wait a minute girl, can you show me to the party?
I said wait a minute girl, can you show me to the party?
Wait a minute girl, can you show me to the party?
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute
Wait a minute, wait a minute, hey girl, can you show me, girl?
