[Mixtape] Holy Holy

by Debby

本週混音帶的主題是神聖與不神聖的歌。​

​標題由來除了mix當中Wye Oak的〈Holy Holy〉一曲以外,還有垮掉的一代的偉大詩人Alan Ginsberg。他的《Howl》長詩有這段附註:

​The typewriter is holy the poem is holy the voice is holy the hearers are holy the ecstasy is holy!

我認為生活周遭的人,或者在遙遠地區的人們所創造出的文字、音樂、影像或任何產物都是神聖的,神聖的概念不應該只限定於神祇,畢竟祂們也是由人類發想/發現到的。這個mix有一些歌曲挑戰了神的權威性,像開頭The Dandy Warhols的〈Godless〉;在Elbow的〈Jesus Is a Rochdale〉中,敘事者心愛的女孩在他心中的地位與神不相上下。

結尾的歌曲是Leonard Cohen的〈Coming Back yo You〉。敘事者在歌詞中與神直接對話,道出他對於所信仰對象的熱愛、懷疑與妒忌,最後的結論我覺得非常有意思。​

​Even in your arms I know
I'll never get it right
Even when you bend to give me
Comfort in the night
I've got to have your word on this
Or none of it is true
And all I've said was just instead of
Coming back to you

希望大家喜歡本週的混音帶。​
