不過以歌曲而言,〈Standing on the One〉已經有為信仰辯護的意味
〈I Love Her Anyway〉和後期《Forever Friends》R&B的聲音滿像的
不過認真說起來是七零年代?
雖然我知道的是他算是以從dance music起家為名
(在看維基百科)其實剛開始是blue-eyed soul,後來才轉到dance music(類似Bee Gees?
雖然似乎轉換跑道到CCM,不過前兩首都是在抱怨自己沒錢和社會不公(〈Metal Machine〉"my rent is due today, so how am I gonna pay?"和〈Ain't It Pretty〉"Out of work"
〈On The Run〉的副歌(有打到
轉調好順而且居然是在句子的一半轉
"trouble is the road you've taken
And this is your last chance"
「所以往普天下去」的ref?
底下的留言說吉他是Joe Satriani(他應該比Jon Gibson有名
〈God Loves a Broken Heart〉是這片最紅的
有幾首出自前一張
〈Are You Gonna Stay〉聽第二次還滿順的
其實我一直覺得他年輕時長得滿像Ray Liotta的
聲音也有點像(有點扁但很襯他的風格
〈The Wall〉有MC Hammer(怎麼做到的
關於種族議題
〈Man Overboard〉繼續在大城市沒錢
"I'm just a prisoner caught in the neon"
"When I'm counting my last penny"
Gibson has recorded with Bill Wolfer (the keyboardist for the Jacksons), Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, MC Hammer, MC Peace, Crystal Lewis, Soup the Chemist, Avery Stafford, John P. Kee, Scott Blackwell and others. He has also performed with Carman and for Prince, collaborating with Justin Timberlake, Herbie Hancock, Maroon 5 and Matthew McConaughey
上傳的頻道說很有披頭四的味道(我猜是《Magical Mystery Tour》時期
意外的是我覺得這張有點太好入口了,溫和的的敬拜音樂缺少第一次聽Jon Gibson其他怪和弦的深刻印象
由於現在不少教會音樂也還是類似的曲風,年代感沒那麼濃?
rap(再度被甩回了四十年前
而且從CD介紹來看似乎整張傾向街頭風
〈Jesus Loves Ya〉超過六分半
彷彿有種「哦?你嫌上一張不夠是嗎?」
〈Everlasting〉的大調轉小調再轉回來再轉回去(第一次聽真的是「你在幹嘛」
〈Straight On〉啊熟悉的效果器滿出來
"You can say that He is black
And you can say He is white"好美國的議題
我開始發現我對風格強烈到中二的歌有種不尋常的好感(難道不就是因為這樣喜歡老歌嗎
〈Watching All My Days Go By〉的歌詞(衝擊
"Heaven's where I'm going
That's why I'm watching all my days go by
Waiting for my day to die, yeah, come on
I don't ever wonder why
'Cause on this day, I'll learn to fly
And I will fly straight to You"
"I'm not afraid to die alone
Oh, this city boy ain't had much to call his own
Oh, and I know what they will say
Hey, they'll say whatever they're gonna say
And I will fly away"
天啊我好欣賞這種的浪漫到無藥可救
多了〈Jesus Loves Ya (Blackwell Remix)〉和〈Everybody Sing a Christmas Song〉
是說《Change of Heart》的〈Lost Inside of You〉也是好適合卡啦OK,還是雙人對唱,我都有畫面了……
〈Jesus Loves Ya (Blackwell Remix)〉快聽不出原曲(沒在抱怨
〈Jesus Loves Ya (Blackwell Remix)〉快聽不出原曲(沒在抱怨
我最愛這張(《Love Education》或許緊追在後),它的話我真的會無腦推
好聽,都好聽QQ
〈Forever Friends〉
"As the memories of the past grow old
I see the mystery of my life beginning to unfold
Painful times I thought would never end
But you always seemed to pull me through my darkest hour"
"Take me on an endless journey
Far beyond this troubled world
Rest me on the furlough of your love
Waiting for that day of glory
On the hour that you return
This is really all that I believe"
盲猜我爸喜歡的是這段(他是我目前看過最理性的耶穌再臨狂熱者,最誇張的舉止就只有把他所有的披頭四專輯都丟掉
他好像說這樣他就可以沒有後顧之憂被上帝接走
後來我跟我妹信主之後他講了一模一樣的話
我跟我妹加起來的價值是一疊披頭四專輯(不是
我第一張Jon Gibson專輯,還記得第一次聽覺得很驚悚
旋律和唱腔都不是我熟悉的,大概第三次才開始比較習慣R&B還有這種很不帥哥的聲線(抱歉了我之前都聽Michael W. Smith aka青少年偶像
對我來說Jon Gibson大概就像Honest Trailers寫《Goodfellas》:"Sweaty guys who are ugly and sexy at the same time"
不過習慣之後就進入「這張也太好聽了吧」狀態
有的時候會想我是不是對自己比較熟悉的事物都太好
我爸補充Jon Gibson是他表妹推他的,不然他沒在慕迪神學院的電台上聽過
表妹那個時候應該是國中生?有在追MC Hammer的電視劇
他的聲音微妙跟著當時的流行變光滑了
以前唱靈魂樂的滄桑感呢
《Body & Soul》的〈God Will Find Ya〉重新混音還滿對得上的
