Lorde本名Ella Yelich-O'Connor,來自紐西蘭,1996年生(下個月才滿17歲)
為一名創作歌手,曲風結合電子/另類流行
從13歲就開始寫歌,讓她具備很好的創作能力
加上超齡的歌聲跟外表
讓她開始逐漸打開知名度,先以Royals做開場,先在家鄉紐西蘭奪冠
再來一路紅到北美洲,本周更在米國跟加拿大這兩個大國成功登頂
讓她跨出成功的第一步
在Lana Del Rey跟Kanye West這兩種風格截然不同的歌手洗禮之下
Lorde的音樂所展現出來的是超乎一般高中女生的成熟
她的歌都帶點詭異風,但旋律卻又相當抓耳耐聽
有人把她比做下個阿呆鵝,但我覺得以曲風來說更像Gotye或Lana Del Rey
除了曲風有點冷門小眾
另外呆鵝的成績在現在根本沒幾個人及的上
有話題(詳見),有實力,又有成績(Royals已經在美國Billboard登頂)
相信會有不錯的發展
處女專輯Pure Heroine是張質感很不錯的流行專輯
首首旋律都很不錯,歌詞敘事性又強
預計下周將空降在米國專輯榜前3的位置
Tennis Court的MV採一鏡到底的拍攝手法,但老實說沒有啥特別之處
甚至可以說蠻乾的
而且感覺好像驚悚片:p
但敢這麼弄,Lorde妹子想法還挺大膽的
已在家鄉紐西蘭登頂冠軍
話不多說
來看看Tennis Court的歌詞
網球場一詞在這歌裡只是個比喻
象徵一個能夠無拘無束,跟麻吉們盡情喇勒的地方
卻因為音樂事業太成功,伴隨著各種名利誘惑
讓這目標是更加困難
下面附上個人翻譯
如有錯誤敬請糾正,不吝感激!
Tennis Court "網球場"
Don't you think that it's boring how people talk
Making smart with their words again, well I'm bored
Because I'm doing this for the thrill of it, killin' it
Never not chasing a million things I want
And I am only as young as the minute is full of it
Getting pumped up from the little bright things I bought
But I know they'll never own me
(Yeah)
你不覺得那些人講話的方式無聊到極點嗎
很自以為的在那邊高談闊論,一遍又一遍,是的我受夠了
這樣子想有種莫名的快感,所以我樂在其中
也未曾想過要去追逐那些名與利
但是我正值年輕歲月,血氣方剛
會為了某個發亮的小東西到手而興奮不已
其實我很了解,這些東西不可能一直掌控著我的人生(是啊)
Baby be the class clown
I'll be the beauty queen in tears
It's a new art form showing people how little we care (yeah)
We're so happy, even when we're smilin' out of fear
Let's go down to the tennis court, and talk it up like yeah (yeah)
你當班上的開心果
我則是當淚流滿面的選美皇后
這是種新的藝術型態,向人們表明,我們對此是多麼不屑一顧(是啊)
我們開心大笑,即使其中帶著一絲恐懼
一起去個網球場,大聲地盡量講吧!
Pretty soon I'll be getting on my first plane
I'll see the veins of my city like they do in space
But my head's filling up fast with the wicked games, up in flames
How can I fuck with the fun again, when I'm known
And my boys trip me up with their heads again, loving them
Everything's cool when we're all in line, for the throne
But I know it's not forever
(Yeah)
很快地我就要搭上第一架班機了
這城市的脈絡將會一覽無遺,就像他們在外太空所看見的一樣
瞬間我腦海裡充斥著邪惡的想法,然後啪! 消失不見
可是成名之後,這樣的歡樂時光還有可能重現嗎?
親朋好友們將再次成為我的牽絆,可我愛死他們了
或許大家一起進入這圈子,感覺會蠻酷的
但我知道,不會永遠都是這樣子的(沒錯)
Baby be the class clown
I'll be the beauty queen in tears
It's a new art form showing people how little we care (yeah)
We're so happy, even when we're smilin' out of fear
Let's go down to the tennis court, and talk it up like yeah (yeah)

It looked alright in the pictures (yeah)
Getting caught's half of the trip though, isn't it?
I fall apart with all my heart
And you can watch from your window
And you can watch from your window
那些照片看起來還好(是啊)
被抓包也不算甚麼,是吧?
但我心碎滿地
所以你從窗口就能看見,這些是是非非
你從窗口就能看見,這些是是非非
Baby be the class clown
I'll be the beauty queen in tears
It's a new art form showing people how little we care (yeah)
We're so happy, even when we're smilin' out of fear

And talk it up like yeah (yeah)
And talk it up like yeah (yeah)
Let's go down to the tennis court, and talk it up like yeah (yeah)
And talk it up like yeah (yeah)
And talk it up like yeah (yeah)
Let's go down to the tennis court, and talk it up like yeah
(Yeah)
大聲地盡量講吧!
大聲地盡量講吧!
一起去個網球場,大聲地盡量講吧!
