Young Blood - Sophie Ellis-Bextor
The days
Are ghosts that pass right through us
In my eyes
You're like an evergreen
Untouched
By the hours that fly around us
My love
Is that how you see me?
Remember when
Remember when we were the diamonds in the coal
Lovers know
There's no age upon your soul
It's all okay, you give me young blood

It's coursing through my veins, it's real love
Here inside my heart it's crystallised
Like it's framed in time and never tainted
Yeah, it's alright, you give me young blood
Before the world I may be old enough
There'll be a day to take the best of us
But till then we have young blood
Somehow
I never saw it coming
I'm caught
And it has set me free
Remember when
Remember when we used to talk of growing old
Lovers know
There's no age upon your soul
Yeah, it's okay, you give me young blood
It's coursing through my veins, it's real love
Here inside my heart it's crystallised
Like it's framed in time and never tainted
Yeah, it's alright, you give me young blood
Before the world I may be old enough
There'll be a day to take the best of us
But till then we have young blood
Oh...
On and on you give me young blood
It's coursing through my veins, it's real love
And here inside my heart it's crystallised
Just like it's framed in time and never tainted
Yeah, it's alright, you give me young blood
Before the world I may be old enough
There'll be a day to take the best of us
But till then we have young blood


每次听到这首歌里Sophie的声音,总是立马联想到晶莹的冰块在眼前破裂,一股凉意随之袭来,仿佛有了通感能力。所谓清澈的嗓音,大概就是如此吧。

而奇怪的是,她的嗓音并不如传统意义上的“清澈”所定义的那样高亢尖细,反而是带有略显沧桑的沙哑和稳定的低音。但这样的一种风霜感,却丝毫没有给人浑浊的感觉,反而像是水在结冰的过程中混入了一丝绿柳,越发让人意犹未尽。

如果说王菲的声音是难得的天籁,不受丝毫污染,那Sophie的就应该是历经世事后,反而越发地相信最初的自己。


young blood的mv也是看过很多次的心头好。其实整个mv就是很简单的两个画面来回切换,一个是化着精致妆容的成熟的sophie,另一个是sophie在海岸边一个略显压抑的废弃工地上来回奔走。两个画面一个黑白,一个彩色;一个静止,一个晃动,形成了一种很好的对比。乍一看,sophie长得并不是很好看,浓艳的妆容和过宽的下颚甚至让她看起来有些凶。但是那紧皱的眉头,真诚坚定地眼神,精瘦的身躯似乎都在告诉你,她也尝过人生的无奈,也曾爱过不该爱的人,也后悔过不该踏出的那一步。但是,现在的她,不会再沉浸于过去,也不会让自己的人生脱缰,她的心即使沾上了尘埃,仍然在鲜活的跳动着。


即使人生依然无奈,爱终究不来,她也会感谢走过的路,温柔坚定从容。
