如果說這個地球上有什么能一直能給你帶來驚喜,那一定是喬布斯的Apple;如果說這個地球上有什么能讓音樂轉動世界,那一定是Apple的iPod。果然2008年蘋果第四代iPod Nano 4G霓的新廣告,又讓人眼前一亮。這次的樂隊是Chairlift(升降梯),這次的音樂是迷幻音樂風格的Bruises。這歌名怎么翻譯比較好呢?淤傷,就是上海話里的“烏青塊”。想了想,翻譯成“哪怕為你遍體鱗傷”,或許更貼切。向來喜歡挖掘新人的Apple,這次選擇的Chairlift不負眾望。Indie Pop化的曲風,電子民謠式的吟唱,男女合聲搭配,休閑慵懶的風格,尤其是女聲Caroline拉長嗓音的那段,真讓人忍不住沉迷于這個虛幻的音樂世界里。

I tried to do handstands for you

Permanently blue for you
For you, woo…
