(Da da daaa, da da daaa) (Da da daaa, da da daaa)
Let it never be said, that romance is dead Cos there's so little else occupying my head There is nothing I need except the function to breathe
But I'm not really fussed, doesn't matter to me Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby Ahaa-ahaa-aaaa Do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya Ahaa-ahaa-aaaa Know what ya doing, doing to me? Ahaa-ahaa-aaaa
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby Ahaa-ahaa-aaaa Due to lack of interest tomorrow is cancelled Let the clocks be reset and the pendulums held
Cos there's nothing at all except the space in between Finding out what you're called and repeating your name
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby Ahaa-ahaa-aaaa Do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya
Ahaa-ahaa-aaaa Know what ya doing, doing to me? Ahaa-ahaa-aaaa Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby Ahaa-ahaa-aaaa, aaaa
Could it be, could it be that you're joking with me And you don't really see you with me Could it be, could it be that you're joking with me And you don't really see you with me
[INSTRUMENTAL]
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby Ahaa-ahaa-aaaa Do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya Ahaa-ahaa-aaaa Know what ya doing, doing to me? Ahaa-ahaa-aaaa Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby Ahaa-ahaa-aaaa Do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya Ahaa-ahaa-aaaa (Da da da, da da da) What ya doing, doing to me? Ahaa-ahaa-aaaa, aaaa (Da da da)
---Kaiser Chiefs Kaiser Chiefs —— 一支以著名南美足球队名字命名的乐队,这个幸运的名字在2005年让他们凭首张专辑便在英国乐坛出尽风头,现在他们带着自己的全新专辑《Yours Truly, Angry Mob》,带着征服世界的野心卷土重来。这5个来自英国leeds的小子,主唱Ricky Wilson、鼓手Nick Hodgson、键盘手Nick Baines、贝斯手Simon Rix和吉它手Andrew White的走红是所有立志走上音乐道路的英国孩子的理想兼梦想。有人说他们狂妄、嚣张,但在这个个性称王的年代,他们飞扬跋扈的劲头如同巨浪般席卷乐坛,新专辑一发行即登上英国排行榜冠軍,气势依然有增無減。Kaiser Chiefs的音乐带着浓重的新浪潮元素和后朋气息,从有着扣人心弦合声的成名作《Oh My God》到张力十足的新浪潮摇滚风《I Predict A Riot》,再到新专辑中的主打歌Ruby,他们代表了阳光、漂亮、爽朗,New Wave浪潮熏陶下的英伦流行音乐。他们也证明了:年轻没有什么不可以。
Kaiser Chiefs的前身,是一支叫作Parva的车库摇滚乐队,可惜当时他们的发展却毫不如意,甚至饱尝冷眼,令他们非常气馁,从小已立志组乐队,然后走红,是不少英国孩子的理想兼梦想,Kaiser Chiefs的成员也不例外。Nick、Peanut和Simon三人在学生时代已一起组织乐队,后来遇上弹吉它的Whitey,而在Nick的引荐下又找来乐感很强、样子又讨人喜欢的Ricky加入,Parva便这样成军。 问题是在英国等待伯乐发掘的乐队,简直有如恒河沙数,Parva差不多只有处于无人问津的境况。
另一方面,Nick和Ricky在两年前于列斯成立了Pigs这个他们的Club Night,在舞池上大播Ultravox甚至Van Halen的作品,而在Pigs里他们也有了新启发。结果他们把Parva的作品丢掉,并起了一个新名字,Kaiser Chiefs就是这样衍生,实行DIY是他们的大前提。
——Indie / New Wave / Pop Punk
于是Kaiser Chiefs便积极宣传他们的现场gig,在Nick的卧室里以一台廉价混音机灌录Demo。他们把成名作《Oh My God》的Demo毛遂自荐投寄给众唱片公司A&R,但是却全无回音。幸好NME对他们宠爱有加,为他们多加报道,继而Drowned In Sound公司才把Oh My God发表成单曲。然后,Kaiser Chiefs终受到B-Unique音乐商青睐,给予他们一纸唱片合约。Kaiser Chiefs得以走红,外界都视之为Franz Ferdinand所种下的成果,彼此的作品,同是满溢着八十年代New Wave流行曲气息而来,况且Nick亦屡次提及他对Ultravox这支新浪潮乐队的热爱。然而Kaiser Chiefs却并没有染指为另一支New Wave复兴队伍,因为他们的音乐其实来得很Britpop,打造出结集着精良英式流行曲元素而来的美好声音。Ricky有着酷似Damon Albarn的嗓音,加上Peanut一手流丽闪亮的键琴与Synth Riff,委实不禁叫人联想起昔日的Blur,而且还要是1994年Parklife时期的Blur──巧合的是,为Kaiser Chiefsr的首张专辑Employment跨刀监制的Stephen Street,就正是当年Parklife的制作人。不要忘记从前Blur的“精良英式流行曲总汇”背后,何尝不是满载New Wave音乐的熏陶而来呢?
从有着扣人心弦合声的成名作《Oh My God》到张力十足的新浪潮摇滚《I Predict A Riot》,再到即将发表成单曲与Sing-along非常的爽劲曲目《Everyday I Love You Less And Less》,都是那类醒神、漂亮、爽朗而带着New Wave熏陶的型格英伦流行音乐。
