The Cranberries genre: Rock
release date 1994-01-01 publisher: Island Records
No Need to Argue is the second studio album by Irish rock band The Cranberries, released in 1994. It was the band's most successful album, and has sold about 17 million copies worldwide. It contains the band's most successful single to date, "Zombie". The album's mood is darker than that on Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?. It shows a more mature performance by lyricist and vocalist Dolores O'Riordan, writing about war, death, love and disappointment. Her voice is clearer, without the previous album's double and triple voice layering. In some of the songs, the band decided to take on a rockier and heavier side, using distortion and increasing the volume. The song "Yeat's Grave" [sic] is about William Butler Yeats, and quotes one of his poems, No Second Troy. The hit song "Zombie", written by lead singer Dolores O'Riordan, is according to her about the IRA bombings in 1993 that resulted in the death of two children.

4 Non Blondes genre: Rock
release date 1992-10-13 publisher: Interscope Records
《What's up》是来自美国的旧金山的摇滚乐团4 Non Blondes的一首成名曲,由Linda Perry作曲并演唱,歌曲描述了25岁年轻人的迷茫的心态.不是吗,年轻的我们总是要面对无数的生活,学习,工作上面的压力.或许我们可以努力解决,但更多的时候,我们只有仰问苍天:what's up?(到底怎么了?) 或许真的是只有经历了才能体会其中的真谛! 在经典面前,苍白无力的文字总是徒劳的! What's up——4 non blondes 昙花一现的非主流乐队,只留下这首成名曲what's up 女主唱Linda Perry的声音很有特色,嗓音粗犷、高亢,磁性十足,歌声与乐队伴奏浑然溶为一体。有人评价她的声音是"能呼唤出激情的魔音宝盒" ..... 超女张靓颖也曾唱过这首what's up....... 但是Linda高亢奔放的嗓音和天马行空的演绎,让一切翻唱都显得幼稚可笑。 关于4 Non Blondes 4 Non Blondes成立于1989年,美国的San Francisco市,当时Christa Hillhouse(贝司手)和Shaunna Hall(吉他手)同为室友,他们当时和Wanda Day(鼓手)想组一个临时性的乐队,但缺一个主唱,Christa在一个名为Nightbreak的俱乐部的舞台上发现了Linda Perry,他立刻被Linda那充满力量和梦幻般的嗓音迷住了,于是他邀请Linda担当他们乐队的主唱,Linda当时并未当回事,直到她亲眼看到了他们三位的现场演出后,才决定加入乐队,这支乐队的首场演出是在1989年10月17曰Nightbreak俱乐部里一个每周固定节目“Female Trouble”里,这个节目推出的乐队都是以女性为核心的乐队,如:She Devils, Spokepoker, Stone Fox, Mermaid Tattoo, Lovedog……这些乐队都很不错,音乐也很猛烈。这个俱乐部也是整个SF市最好的,里面都是有着摇滚激情的人。 在这里度过愉快的时期,并开始在城市里寻找其他的演出机会。 4 Non Blondes的早期音乐风格基本上都是狂躁的punk乐,Wanda击打出硬核朋克的鼓声,Linda爆炸般的嗓音,Christa的贝司始终来回于硬核和疯克之间,而Shaunna的3和弦吉他技术构筑了整个4NB早期的主要音乐风格,随着乐队演出机会的增加,他们的名声也越来越响亮。但随之而来的批评也越来越多,乐队似乎要用更大的噪音去抵抗一些刺耳的嘘声和恶意的诋毁。“在当时,并不是有现在这么多的女性活跃在摇滚舞台上,因此我们受到了许多其他乐队或俱乐部里的各类人等的嘲笑和讽刺。这促使我们更努力地投入到音乐中,我们每周都有那么四、五天每天重复听3、4个小时的音乐,当某人想说些屁话来讥笑我们时,我们就会在舞台上愉快地用音乐去还击他。我已经弹了15年琴了,所以我们乐队里每一个人都对自己的音乐技术和水平充满了自信。” 在早期的乐队词曲创作中,几乎都是由Shaunna Hall一人包办,也许只有乐队创作的第一首歌“Whole lotta love”例外。但在不久后,Linda开始成为乐队词曲创作的核心,Wanda和Christa一般喜欢在排练前弹弹groove来热身。有时他们这些即兴弹奏的片段就成了乐队的歌曲。然后由Linda配好词,如歌曲“Old Mr Heffer”“No place like home”就是这样创作出来的。Linda有时也和Shaunna共同创作一些歌曲,但通常她喜欢独自一人冥思苦想。每当创作出一些新的音乐作品时,他们都会把它立刻放在晚上的演出里。但有时4NB会很玩笑地把刚学会的一首歌加入到演出节目中,由于此时4NB乐队并不能靠俱乐部演出来维持生活,他们四人白天都需要工作,而Linda是乐队里第一个辞退餐馆的女招待工作而专心投入到音乐中来的,因为她对每曰清晨萦绕在耳边的铃声和嘈杂的工作厌倦透了。不久,Charista也辞去了他的固定工作,他已经在白曰会计师夜里音乐家的角色变换中持续了十年了。四人陆续都辞去自己的工作,开始从当初业余心态去玩音乐中转变为以此为职业的专业态度。但他们的音乐之旅并不顺利,录制的小样并未得到唱片公司的垂青,在经济上陷入了窘迫之境,他们不久就负债累累,这几乎也是许多摇滚乐队成立之初的惯例。 《Bigger,Better,Faster,More!》(1992) 这张专辑是4NB的第一张专辑,也他们的最后一张专辑,每次听到这张专辑,就象一个正处在颠峰期的体育明星突然宣布退役一样,给人留下了他美的回忆,这张专辑是靠“What's Up”而走红的,而这首歌也比较完美地体现了Linda峰回路转的嗓音,但这类歌曲在这张专辑里是屡见不鲜,如"Train" "Calling all the people"等,而整个乐队的音乐风格也比较古怪(感觉上象是FUNK与R&B的综合),非常适合Linda那独特的嗓音,如果摇滚是蕴涵激情的音乐,那Linda的嗓音就应该是能呼唤出激情的魔音宝盒。现在Linda似乎转到幕后,为一些歌星比如Christina Aguilera制作歌曲,象Hurt,Beautiful等一些很好听的歌曲. 4 Non Blondes 留给摇滚界一个不朽的传奇,What’s Up成为90年代摇滚青年的圣歌,反复吟唱之后依然光彩夺目,动人心魄。 25 years of my life and still 25年的人生平静依旧 I'm trying to get up that great big hill of hope 我仍在竭力登攀那座希望的山脊 For a destination 为了人生有一个目的(为了生命有一点意义)。 I realized quickly when I knew I should 我早就看透 That the world was made up of this 这个世界是一张网 Brotherhood of man 它由权贵的裙带所编织 For whatever that means 随你爱怎么辩驳都可以。 And so I cry somethimes when I'm lying in bed 我有时躺在床上哭泣 To get it all out what's in my head 想把所有乱七八糟的念头从头脑里驱逐 Then I start feeling a little peculiar 于是有一天出现了奇迹。 And so I wake in the morning and I step 早晨醒来,我走出户外 Outside I take deep breath 深深地吸了一口气 I get real high 我兴奋异常 Then I scream from the top of my lungs 我用尽全身的力气歇斯底里地大叫 What's goin' on 这是什么回事? And I say hey... 我说:嘿,这是为什么? And I say hey what's goin' on 我说:嘿,这是什么回事!! And I say hey... 我说:嘿,这到底是什么回事!!! I said hey what's goin' on And I try, oh my God do I try (蓝色的部分很好地体现Linda声音峰回路转的精髓) 我努力,我挣扎,哦,我的老天,我从不偷懒 I try all the time 我每时每刻都努力 In this institution 在这弱肉强食的体制的牢笼里。 And I pray, oh my God do I pray 我祷告,我祈求,哦,我的上帝,我真的在祷告 I pray every single day 我每日每夜都祈求上帝 For a revolution 祈祷一场颠覆! [重复]And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in my bed To get it all out what's in my head Then I start feeling a little peculiar And so I wake in the morning and I step outside I take a deep breaththen I get real high Then I scream from the top of my lungs What's goin' on And I say hey... And I say hey what's goin' on And I say hey... I said hey what's goin' on And I say hey... And I say hey what's goin' on And I say hey... I said hey what's goin' on [重复] 25 years of my life and still (这几句与开头呼应,但透出一些反思和 25年的人生平静依旧 一些无奈的味道, I'm trying to get up that great big hill of hope 听后会产生很多感慨 我仍然竭力登攀那座希望的山脊 相当好的结尾) For a destination 为了人生有一个目的(为了生命有一点意义)。
