就像众多九十年代顶尖儿Electronica组合那样,Faithless的音乐都是以拥有高度折衷性(Eclectic)见称。他们可以带来征服万民的Massive舞池国歌,同样也有美丽而细腻的触动心灵歌曲。Bombs来自他们2006年底发行的最新专辑 "To All New Arrivals",加入了很多关于911,伊战,恐怖袭击的反思, MV也很值得一看, 导演将日常生活的片段和战争的血腥剪辑在了一起, 有很强的视觉冲击力。
Director Greenhalgh: "War infects all our lives; recently it feels that this has increasingly become ’our way of life’. It is rare to be given the opportunity to shoot a video that is deemed controversial. All I tried to do was make people think about the everyday life we live in our comfortable existences, and the contrast to that through war."
(歌词节选)
...
One bomb, the whole block gone
一枚炸弹,夷平了一个街区
Can’t find me children and dust covers the sun
寻不见我的孩子,烟尘蔽日
Everywhere is noise, panic and confusion
噪音,恐慌,困惑处处蔓延
But to some, another fun day in Babylon
而对于有些人,这却不过是天堂里的又一天
I’m gonna bury my wife and dig up my gun
我要掩埋我的妻子,挖出我的手枪
My life is done so now I got to kill someone
生命已失去意义,我要有些人为此付出代价
