【音乐】Crooked Still《Florence》
Crooked Still，一个年轻的组合，是一支蓝草乐队。2004年在美国波士顿成立，现有成员5名，主要成员是音乐学院的学生。和传统的兰草民谣相比，Crooked Still 的音乐更精致人文，特别是器乐的演奏非常棒，音乐素质确实功底不凡。抛弃了吉他贝斯鼓，还能叫乡村吗？以提琴为基调，时常点缀着班卓的繁复段落，Crooked Still 就是这样一支非典型女声乡村乐队，嫁接出来的音乐风格不一定都合适，不过提琴加班卓的味道还是相当优秀的。舒缓的大提琴，温柔的女声，一丝甜意流淌到心中，难得有这种抒情的乐曲让人安静下来。
歌词:
Not many years their rounds shall roll
Each moment brings it nigh
And all your glories stand revealed
To our admiring eye
You wills of nature speed your course,
You mortal powers decay
Fast as you bring the night of death
You bring eternal day
You weary heavy-laden souls
Who are oppressed sore
You travelers through the wilderness
To Canaan’s peaceful shore
Through beating winds and chilly rains,
And waters deep and cold
And enemies surrounding you
Have courage and be bold
The storms and hurricanes arise
The desert all around
And fiery serpents oft appear
Through the enchanted ground
Dark night and clouds and gloomy fear
And dragons often roar
But when the gospel trump we hear
We’ll press for Canaan’s shore
