《愛的羅曼史》第27章

  When the lights go out

  Will you take me with you

  And carry all this broken bone

  Through six years down in crowded rooms

  And highways I call home

  Is something I can`t know till now

  Till you picked me off the ground

  With brick in hand, you lip gloss smile

  Your scraped up knees and

  If you stay

  I would even wait all night

  Or until my heart explodes

  How long

  Until we find our way

  In the dark and out of harm

  You can run away with me

  Anytime you want

  ……

  ……

  ……

  初夏的夜晚,氣溫已經降了下來,但音樂節現場卻比白天還要燥熱,臺上臺下每個人都仿佛擁有無盡的能量,匯聚在一起足以引爆一顆即將撞擊地球的小行星。

  江焱此刻幾乎忘記了自己也是一名樂隊主唱,他仿佛回到十幾歲的某個夏天,和其他歌迷一起,高舉雙臂為熱愛的樂隊喝彩,不時跟著合唱兩句,聲音沒能飄遠就湮沒在臺上臺下的巨大音浪中。

  《Disenchanted》

  Well I was there on the day,

  They sold the cause for the queen.

  And when the lights all went out,

  We watched our lives on the screen.

  I hate the ending myself,

  But it started with an alright scene……”

  《the World is Ugly》

  “I just wanted you to know

  That the world is ugly,

  But you`re beautiful to me.

  Are you thinking of me?

  Like I`m thinking of you……

  ……

  ……

  ……

  這是一場比Livehouse規模龐大上百倍甚至更多的群體性浪漫狂歡,MCR樂隊五個人的身影出現在前方的舞臺上、實時同步大屏幕中、前排無數觀眾高舉的手機屏幕里。他們唱著夏日的情懷,唱著少年的理想,唱著對這個世界失望與希望同在、愛與厭惡并存的復雜情緒,唱著那些永不妥協的堅持和破碎后依然敢于直視的勇氣。

  從《the World is Ugly》這首歌開始,越來越多的現場歌迷加入合唱,人山人海幾乎都在隨著鼓點節奏同頻搖晃和雀躍,江焱興奮地把手搭在陸辰辭的胳膊上,勾著他的脖子。

  陸辰辭很冷靜,但他能夠理解,昨天的酒精,今天的Live,都是江焱的化學浪漫。

  《Fake your death》

  “ choose defeat, I walk away.

  And leave this place for sane today.

  Some like to sleep, we like to play,

  Just look at all that pain……

  《Helena》

  Well, if you carry out this way,

  Things are better if I stay.

  So long and goodnight,

  So long not goodnight……

  ……

  ……

  ……

  搖滾樂的魅力永不消褪,然而一場演出終有結束的時刻。在一片響徹夜空的安可呼喊聲中,這場音樂節到達最后一首歌的時間。

  空靈的鋼琴前奏響起,MCR以他們最具代表性的作品作為這場演出的終點——歡迎加入黑色游行。

  《Welcome to the Black Parade》

  When I was a young boy,

  My father took me into the city,

  To see a marching band.

  He said, “Son when you grow up,

  would you be the savior of the broken, The beaten and the damned?”

  He said, “Will you defeat them,

  your demons, and all the non-believers, the plans that they have made?

  Because one day, I`ll leave you,

  A phantom to lead you in the summer,

  To join the black parade.”

  When I was a young boy,

  My father took me into the city,

  To see a marching band.

  He said, “Son when you grow up,

  would you be the savior of the broken, The beaten and the damned?”

  ……

  ……

  ……

  這首歌幾乎變成了全場大合唱,似乎全國各地的歌迷都趕來了現場,只為在這一刻加入這場黑色游行,完成慶祝這支樂隊回歸的儀式感。

  現場不少歌迷都激動地哭了,不知是太愛這首歌,還是舍不得與這場狂歡告別。

  江焱不知什麼時候放開了陸辰辭的肩膀,當陸辰辭意識到這件事并轉頭看向他,發現他臉上反射著一道遠處舞臺上的燈光——他也哭了。

  他在跟著唱,唱的很好聽,只是聲音帶著些許的嘶啞和顫抖。

  淚水沿著他的臉頰滑落,他渾然不知,卻敏銳地察覺到陸辰辭落在自己臉上的目光。

  他轉頭回望陸辰辭,這才意識到自己哭了,眼前已經一片模糊。

  他抬起胳膊在臉上胡亂抹了一把,然后不好意思地笑了:“真丟臉……你能不能假裝沒看到?”

  陸辰辭把一包紙巾塞到他手里:“不丟臉。”

  Sometimes I get the feeling, she`s watching over me.

  And other times I feel like I should go.

  When through it all, the rise and fall, the bodies in the streets.

  And when you`re gone we want you all to know——

  We`ll Carry on, We`ll Carry on

  And though you`re dead and gone, believe me

  Your memory will Carry on

  We`ll Carry on

  And in my heart, I can`t contain it,

  The anthem won`t explain it.

  這首歌讓江焱再度陷入回憶。

  在火山熔巖還沒有正式成立的時候,他們喜歡的樂隊MCR在大洋彼岸發布了這首《Welcome To Black Parade》,十四歲的江焱愛死了這首歌,到處拉人臨時組了個樂隊,想要排練這首歌,在學校的跨年晚會上表演。

  然而這首歌旋律層次豐富,編曲結構復雜,網上又找不到現成的樂譜,大家都不想扒譜,于是江焱獨自花了好幾天時間,把整支樂譜一點一點扒了出來,然后又花費很大精力做了改編。

  改編這樣一支復雜曲目的難度不亞于寫一首新歌,這對于少年江焱來說是一件超有成就感的事,然而大家拿到樂譜都傻了眼,覺得太超出能力范圍了。文崇飛勸江焱放棄,理由是這首歌表演難度太高,而且蘊含太多憤怒的、復雜的情緒,不適合初中生。

  文崇飛:“阿焱,這首歌不適合我們,它太復雜了。”

  江焱:“但我們都很喜歡這首歌啊。”

  文崇飛:“你喜歡天上的月亮,不代表你要把它摘下來。”

  他們最終放棄了表演這首歌,但并江焱并不認為天上的月亮不能摘。

  年少的江焱曾經有過很多理想,他選擇最重要的那個去努力實現。他把全部精力和熱情投入到自己的樂隊中,朝著天上的月亮伸出一只手,然后感覺自己后背一點一點長出翅膀。他離月亮越來越近,感覺只要再堅持一下就能觸碰到,卻在二十一歲那年突然從半空中摔了下來。

  A world that sends you reeling, from decimated dreams,

  Your misery and hate will kill us all.

  So paint it black and take it back,

  Let`s shout out loud and clear,

  Defiant to the end

  We hear the call.

  To Carry on,

  We`ll Carry on,

  And though you`re dead and gone, believe me

  Your memory will Carry on

  We`ll Carry on.

  And though you`re broken and defeated,

  Your weary widow marches,

  On and on we carry through the fears

  Ooh hoh hoh

  Disappointed faces of your peers

  Ooh hoh hoh

  Take a look at me, `cause I could not care at all.

  Do or die,

  You`ll never make me.

  Because the world will never take my heart.

  Go and try, you`ll never break me.

  We want it all, we wanna play this part.

  I won`t explain or say I`m sorry.

  I`m unashamed, I`m gonna show my scar.

  Give a cheer for all the broken.

  Listen here, because it`s who we are.

  I`m just a man, I`m not a hero.

  Just a boy, who wanna sing his song.

  I`m just a man, I`m not a hero.

  I — don`t — care!

  We`ll Carry on, We`ll Carry on

  And though you`re dead and gone, believe me

  Your memory will carry on!

  You`ll carry on

  And though you`re broken and defeated,

  Your weary widow marches on.

  Do or die,

  You`ll never make me.

  Because the world will never take my heart.

  Go and try, you`ll never break me.

  We want it all, we wanna play this part.

  We`ll carry on………

  二十多歲的江焱告別了純粹的朋克樂,組建了第二支獨立搖滾樂隊,不再給樂隊風格設限,少了一些青春的躁動,多了許多說不清道不明的復雜情緒。他不再像火山熔巖時期那麼鋒芒畢露,肆意張揚,也不再像小時候一樣不知天高地厚,以為自己可以永遠不屈服于現實。

  然而,當這首《Welcome to the black parade》在現場響起,他能清晰地感覺到,自己內心深處的朋克精神從來沒有消失,那團火一直燃燒著,支撐著自己在樂隊這條路上走下去。

  它們在一個快三十歲的人身上出現,顯得那麼不合時宜,但江焱卻為自己依然保有那顆火種而情不自禁地流淚。

  這次換陸辰辭主動伸出手。

  他沒有像江焱一樣使勁勾住對方的脖子,只是輕輕把胳膊搭在江焱的肩膀上,希望能給他一點微不足道的支持。

  Do or die,You`ll never make me.

  這是背水一戰,你休想指使我。

  Go and try, you`ll never break me.

  盡管嘗試,你摧毀不了我。

  We`ll carry on………

  我們會走下去………

  伴隨著一段鏗鏘有力的軍鼓獨奏,長達5分多鐘的安可曲行進至尾聲。
