Shoegazing所接受的影響
一般來說Shoegazing的出現是肇因於My Bloody Valentine88年所推出了’Isn’t Anything’
這張專輯影響了一掛年輕樂團的創作方針
但是觸發這個段樂風的出現絕對不只是這個原因
早在80年代中期的Cocteau Twins就悄悄的進行著將噪音融入他們的夢幻之音
而Jesus & Mary Chain絕對也是主要的影響者
他們的首張專輯Psychocandy為日後的Shoegazing開啟了一扇大門
除此之外,早在60年代的Velvet Underground出現的White Noise
更是Noise-pop仿效的對象!!

我的Shoegazing五大專輯:
Shoegazing風潮當時的一王一后
就是Ride和Lush(尤其前者有著俊俏的外表)
所以Shoegazing最重要的專輯
又怎麼少的了他們呢?
之二.Ride-nowhere
澎湃激昂的噪音
動人真摯的雙主唱
帶著青春燃燒,昂首闊步的向前
最重要的是在巨大音牆底下,彈奏得是動聽的曲調
重點歌曲--
Taste
所謂熱血青春的Shoegazing
在這首歌展現無遺
之三.Lush-Spooky
濃厚的4AD之音
有如90年代的Cocteau Twins
和諧的雙女合唱,朦朧迷離
但已經褪去了許多噪音
要尋找帶有噪音的Lush
請到這張專輯為止以前
重點歌曲--
For Love
最有流行潛質的歌曲
聽起來是如此清新可人
令人心花怒放
歌詞:
For Love
Pretty little girl, she shines
Knowing she is young, she smiles
Happy just to be a prize
Happy just to see his smile
Silly little girl, she tries
Thinking she is good, and wise
Doesn’t recognise the lies
Pouring from her lips, she sighs;
”This is so real,
It’s what I feel,
I look in your eyes and lose myself”
Silly little girl denies
Ever understanding why
Her face is full of sad surprise
Every time she hears him cry;
”What do you feel
When you’re with me?
I look in your eyes and see myself”
But there’s no connection,
Just his own reflection
Isn’t this the way you wanted me?
(What do you mean?)
In love with you
(What do I feel?)
Do anything
(What do you mean?)
For you
She looked in his eyes to lose herself
And when it falls apart, she cries
Doesn’t think to look inside
She just covers up her eyes
Doesn’t see her own disguise
And though she feels this sorrow,
It will fade tomorrow
She’ll pretend that this was really love
(What do you mean?)
She’ll make their fall
(What did I feel?)
Seem beautiful
(What do you mean?)
She won’t remember this at all
(What do you mean?)
She won’t recall
(What did I feel?)
The truth at all
(What do you mean?)
She wants to fall
(What did I feel?)
Again
(What do you mean?)
