[音樂]Outlines

第一次聽見法國嘻哈 / 電子樂隊Outlines的作品,是法國科幻動畫《The Prodigies》用於片尾曲的〈I Cannot Think〉(收錄於《The Prodigies OST》與Outlines同名EP中),該曲同時也是Outlines的最新代表作。

由左至右
Jérôme Hadey, Jay 1 and Irfane Khan-Acito

專長於嘻哈與電子組曲的法國樂隊Outlines,由主唱Irfane Khan-Acito, Jérôme Hadey和Jay 1這三位相識已久的好友共同組成。由於主唱Irfane Khan-Acito和Jérôme Hadey兩人曾分別在美國與德國待過一段時間,因此樂隊音樂風格受美國嘻哈與德國電子合成樂相當程度的影響。

其所推出目前已知的作品分別有《Just A Lil' Lovin》(EP, 2003), 《Our Lives Are Too Short》(2007), 《Waiting In Line》(EP, 2007), 《Visions》(Single, 2009), 《I Cannot Think》(EP, 2011)五張,以上在iTunes Store上都找得到。

Anyway, 雖沒認真聽過每首作品,但個人最愛的除了〈I Cannot Think〉外,由東岸嘻哈天團武當幫(Wu-Tang Clan)靈魂人物、現為音樂製作人的RZA所跨刀合聲的〈Visoins〉更是令人不禁瘋狂looping的單曲。

〈I Cannot Think〉原收錄在《The Prodigies》原聲帶中,後來Outlines將這首重編旋律並另拍了支微MV,和原聲帶版相較既俏皮又亂來 XD 當初聽時還想這和原聲帶版也未免差太多!不過個人較喜歡原聲帶版的,所以只放這支,想看重編版請移駕這邊


White boy soul call it rock and roll 
If it glitters it must be gold 
Conference calls are put on hold 
Let's burn together and lose control 

You keep me hungry while you eat me alive 
With you daggers and your hungry knives 
You keepme thirsty while you drink me alive 
Drink the blood of my nine to five 
and I know 
There must be a link between you and the ink 
That I use and abuse until I cannot think 

I keep my hopes in a distant fire (I cannot think) 
Burnin' burnin' with your desire (I cannot think) 
I keep my hopes in a distant fire (I cannot think) 
Burnin' burnin' with your desire (How can I think) 

I keep my hopes in a distant fire (I cannot think) 
Burnin' burnin' with your desire (I cannot think) 
I keep my hopes in a distant fire (I cannot think) 
Burnin' burnin' with your desire (How can I think) 

White boy soul call it new or old 
Pocket aces, you'd better fold 
The greatest story that's never been told 
Let's burn together as we loose control 

You keep me hungry while you eat me alive 
With you daggers and your hungry knives 
You keep me thirsty while you drink me alive 
Drink the blood of my hundredth wife 
and I know 
There must be a link between you and the ink 
That I use and abuse until I cannot think 
Think......

I keep my hopes in a distant fire (I cannot think) 
Burnin' burnin' with your desire (I cannot think) 
I keep my hopes in a distant fire (I cannot think) 
Burnin' burnin' with your desire (How can I think) 
I keep my hopes in a distant fire (I cannot think) 
Burnin' burnin' with your desire (How can I think) 

I cannot think (I keep my hopes)

另一首〈Visions〉也很棒,所以一定要放一下,不然對不起自己哪!


[RZA]
I got visions in my mind, of a world of peace
Without hunger, or hate, or poverty
Where there's freedom, justice, and equality
No problems, son, the next bottle's on me
Sometimes you may see me in the '70's style
With the nappy afro and the heavenly smile
Thinking of a world with no pain
Where no man hits a woman, no woman hits a man
Vision in my head of a world with no lead
And Martin wouldn't have died from the hole in his head
The devil time is up, so pick those nines up
Pick up your books and build your mind up
It's simple as ABC, 123
I'm envisioning the world, of G-O-D
Arm Leg Leg Arm Head, Supreme head
We won't rest, until every mouth is fed

[Irfane Khan-Acito]
I've got these visions in my mind
Where I can save all of mankind
Trying to be brave, trying to be strong
Get everyone to get along
There's always something that goes wrong
I've got these visions in my mind
Where I can see, the finish line
So I run fast and I can hear
The cloud around me disappear
Old man, he whispers in my ear

[Chorus: Irfane Khan-Acito]
You keep on praying to the sky
You'll never know until you try
You keep on praying to the sky
You'll never know until you try
You keep on praying to the sky
You'll never know until you try
You keep on praying to the sun
You'll never know until it's done

[Irfane Khan-Acito]
I've got these visions in my mind
Where I can save all of mankind
Trying to be brave, trying to be strong
Get everyone to get along
There's always something that goes wrong
I've got these visions in my mind
Where I go back, way back in time
I travel sand, mountain and sea
Looking for something desperately
And then the sirens sing to me (they sing to me)

[Chorus]

[Irfane Khan-Acito]
I've got these visions in my mind...
