【 我们抓不住的,除了声音,除了过去,还有必须要走的人。】
在听过的Damien Rice里,《It Takes A Lot To Know A Man》属于那种听一次就会割舍不下的那种歌曲。
或许在大众眼里,Damien Rice的音乐都打上了苦情的标签,甚至觉得毫无新意,一成不变,但Damien Rice却从来不是在简单的唱歌而已。听Damien Rice的音乐,像是听一个故事,故事的主人公可以是任何人,包括我们自己。这个故事我们站在终点,往前回顾,记忆的碎片零散在周围,往事也一幕幕掠过。Damien Rice的声音随着旋律起伏,悠扬的小提琴是向过去默哀的挽歌,长长的九分钟,是刚好心碎的距离。
