LA ROUX

一支来自英国伦敦的电子乐队 男女组合

来势汹汹 两支单曲 Quicksand 和 In for the kill 均在英国单曲榜获得了极好的成绩

第二支单曲 In For The Kill 一上榜就来到了英国单曲榜的第11名 接下来的两周里 这首单曲前进了4个位置 来到第七 直奔第二

La Roux曾入选BBC英国广播网评选的 2009超新声 第15名

他们还是Lily Allen在三月全英巡演的表演嘉宾

La Roux是法语橙红色 语意上的雌雄同体（La 与 roux 分别为女男名字的后缀）恰如你所看到的乐队主唱21岁的Elly Jackson的那扎眼的鸡冠头 本身就是一骇俗的标志 乐队的隐形成员 Ben Langmaid 男

他们的歌曲 歌词干脆利落 有点边缘的风格 但是细细听来 不管是鼓点 节奏 还是声音 都非常的耐听和有特点 让你不自觉地 就按下了循环播放

Quicksand 的MV中 着实被Elly Jackson的气质和声线所震慑 而且拍摄手法颇为独特 依然以橙红色为基本色调 值得一觑

她有的不是仇恨 却比仇恨更令人生畏

她有的不是高亢 却比高亢更高一筹

La Roux把我们从2009年带回了1970年时代 法国新浪潮 尽管那时候我们还没有诞生

如此有实力和潜力的歌者

期待着La Roux 爆发小宇宙

品读

尤其喜欢La roux的这首歌 一开始传来清晰有节奏感的鼓点 让人忍不住跟着一起律动 电音的迂回 反复 耐人寻味

突然主唱有点嘶哑的声音响起 应和着呼声 仿佛看见的是 暮光之城 中 那种异域的情调

副歌 有些可惜和无奈的语调 重复着 I'M GOING IN FOR THE KILL 刺激着神经的末梢

主旋律再次响起 却与第一次并不一样 仿佛是故事的另一面 带你走进了一个关于 爱 与不爱的世界

尤其喜欢——

They say we can love who we trust / 都说所爱之人应当值得信任

Oooh but what is love without lust? / 呜...但若是没有情欲又何来爱情？

Two hearts with accurate devotions / 两颗心都怀着绝对的虔诚

Oooh but what are feelings without emotions? / 呜...但若是没有情感又何来感情？

很轻描淡写的语调和笔调 但是却听得人心里隐隐作痛 仿佛只是轻轻一笔 就将人性 特别是大都市中现实到不能再现实的事情阐明

BRIDGE部分 变成了有一点空灵的声音 但是鼓点依旧存在 仿佛是给你片刻的沉思 去思考着 你是否也是故事中的一个人物

但主旋律又再次响起 却又不再与之前一样 只是轻轻告诉你

不要对号入座 不过是一首歌而已

音乐戛然而止 留给你心里长长的缺口

几个女孩子而已 却唱到了你的心里

La Roux 歌词

Been there done that messed around

I'm having fun, don't put me down

I'll never let you sweep me off my feet

I won't let you in again

The messages I tried to send

My information's just not going in

Burning bridges shore to shore

I break away from something more

I'm not turned on to love until it's cheap

Been there done that messed around

I'm having fun don't put me down

I'll never let you sweep me off my feet

This time baby

I'll be bulletproof

This time baby

I'll be bulletproof

I won't let you turn around

And tell me now I'm much too proud

To walk away from something when it's dead

Do do do your dirty words

Come out to play when you are hurt?

There's certain things that should be left unsaid

Tick tick tick tick on the watch

And life's too short for me to stop

Oh baby, your time is running out

I won't let you turn around

And tell me now I'm much too proud

All you do is fill me up with doubt

This time baby

I'll be bulletproof

This time baby

I'll be bulletproof

This time baby

I'll be bulletproof

This time baby

I'll be bulletproof

This time I'll be

Bulletproof

This time I'll be

Bulletproof

This time baby

I'll be bulletproof

This time baby

I'll be bulletproof

This time baby

This time baby

This time baby

This time...

This time baby

This time baby

I'll be bulletproof

La Roux 歌词

I'm the obsessor

Holding your hand

It seems you have forgotten

About your man

Alone in the darkness

My bed's a different land

Your touch intensifies

And I'm in the quicksand

I'm in the quicksand

I'm in the quicksand

You're the upsettor

Stroking my hand

What's my position?

I don't understand

Am I your possession?

Am I in demand?

Oh when you turn to me

I'm in the quicksand

I'm in the quicksand

I'm in the quicksand

You, you moved into my mind again oh

You, walking around and free oh

Oh I could let you stay

But I'm walking on broken ground again

Oh, oh when will I learn?

All you do is push me back in the dark

I'm in the quicksand

I'm in the quicksand

I'm in the quicksand

I'm in the quicksand

I'm in the quicksand

La Roux 歌词

Your love is like a stubborn youth

That you'd rather just deny

I'm walking on a broken roof

But I'm looking at the sky.

It's all false love and affection,

You don't want me, you just like the attention

Yes, it's all false love and affection,

You don't like me, you just want the attention.

I'm not your toy;

This isn't another girl-meets-boy

I'm not your toy;

This isn't another girl-meets-boy.

Your love hides in a smoky night,

I can never find the truth

Boy, your touches leave me mystified

I wish I could believe in you.

It's all false love and affection,

You don't want me, you just like the attention

Yes, it's all false love and affection,

You don't like me, you just want the attention.

I'm not your toy;

This isn't another girl-meets-boy

I'm not your toy;

This isn't another girl-meets-boy

I'm not your toy;

This isn't another girl-meets-boy

I'm not your toy;

This isn't another girl-meets-boy

It's all false love and affection,

You don't want me, you just like the attention

Yes, it's all false love and affection,

You don't like me, you just want the attention.

I'm not your toy;

This isn't another girl-meets-boy

I'm not your toy;

This isn't another girl-meets-boy

I'm not your toy;

This isn't another girl-meets-boy

I'm not your toy;

This isn't another girl-meets-boy

La Roux 歌词

Tonight out on the streets

I'm gonna follow you

Tell you all about a scene

That you would kill for

You're gonna love what's

Burning right in front of you

But you won't see it

By the light of the sun

Come out Tigerlily

You're caressing me

I'll take you up

I'll turn you on

I'll take your apathy

I wouldn't lie to you Blossom

Won't you let it go

I'm gonna give you all you want

And don't you know

That you

I know you better than this

I could be here when you call

I'll make you top of the list

And in the crush of the dark

I'll be your light in the mist

I can see you burning with desire for a kiss

Psychobabble all upon your lips

They can sell it all they want

But you cannot agree

I don't like the taste

Of their morality

You'll find your bread and your butter

Where you fake it

And put your face in the gutter

Of a snake pit

But our communication is telepathy

What you give is what you get

Out of us naturally

And we can wait til the shadow grows long

And turn the page of a story

That has long since found a home

I know you better than this

I could be here when you call

I'll make you top of the list

And in the crush of the dark

I'll be your light in the mist

I can see you burning with desire for a kiss

Psychobabble all upon your lips

Have you ever felt like you're being followed?

Or watched the ones that held your stare?

Turned around to see who's behind you

To find there's no one there?

Lurking in the dark

There's someone who breathes you night and day

There's a friend who wants so much more

And if they can't have you

They'll never let you walk away

And in the crush of the dark

I'll be your light in the mist

I can see you burning with desire for a kiss

And in the crush of the dark

I'll be your light in the mist

I can see you burning with desire for a kiss

Psychobabble all upon your lips

La Roux 歌词

You pull on your Armour

And put up defences

Why do you want to?

Because I'm here to protect you

So take it easy

I'll make it so easy

You can lay your head down

And we'll leave it til tomorrow

You seem to believe you belong to somebody else

When you leave me alone in this world

You know that I'm in hell

When you know what it's like

To be lonely and by yourself

When your life is tangled

You wear your disguises

But why do you need to

When I'm standing here beside you?

So take it easy

I'll make it so easy

You can lay your head down

And we'll leave it til tomorrow

You seem to believe you belong to somebody else

When you leave me alone in this world

You know that I'm in hell

When you know what it's like

To be lonely and by yourself

Slipping through my fingers

And into another's

Tell me why won't you turn back?

You seem to believe you belong to somebody else

(You know what it's like you shouldn't have to be told)

When you leave me alone in this world

You know that I'm in hell

(It's hard enough when you're alone in the world)

When you know what it's like

To be lonely and by yourself

You seem to believe you belong to somebody else

(You know what it's like you shouldn't have to be told)

When you leave me alone in this world

You know that I'm in hell

(It's hard enough when you're alone in the world)

When you know what it's like

To be lonely and by yourself
