The Killers—Human

我很喜歡Punk，2004年有一支新銳樂團「The Killers」推出一首有點搞笑的歌曲〈Somebody Told Me〉。裡頭一段歌詞：

Well somebody told me

You had a boyfriend
Who looks like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential
I've got potential

有夠Kuso搞笑的，實在不知道這些傢伙腦袋裡在裝些什麼。收錄這張作品的專輯《Hot Fuss》在全球大賣五百萬張，而「The Killers」濃濃的New Wave味道，更讓他們被冠以「來自美國的Brit-Pop」樂團。

最近我在車上聽ICRT時，聽到他們的新作〈Human〉，還是覺得一樣好聽、有趣。整張專輯《Day & Age》，則添加更多電音元素與變化，是我聽過近期最有創意的樂團專輯。（其他如Travis等的，實在給它有點小失望。）

在這所謂百年難得一見的金融風暴裡，到處裁員、減薪、失業什麼鬼的，我突然覺得這首歌，是一首很另類的療傷歌曲了。

特地推薦給大家聽聽。

I did my best to notice
When the call came down the line
Up to the platform of surrender
I was brought but I was kind
And sometimes I get nervous
When I see an open door
Close your eyes
Clear your heart...
Cut the cord

Are we human?
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer
Are we human?
Or are we dancer?

Pay my respects to grace and virtue
Send my condolences to good
Give my regards to soul and romance,
They always did the best they could
And so long to devotion
You taught me everything I know
Wave goodbye
Wish me well..
You've got to let me go

Are we human?
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer
Are we human?
Or are we dancer?

Will your system be alright
When you dream of home tonight?
There is no message we're receiving
Let me know is your heart still beating

Are we human?
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer

You've got to let me know

Are we human?
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer
Are we human
Or are we dancer?
