从国际比较看刀郎歌曲的深度与高度
从国际比较看刀郎歌曲的深度与高度(重点标注版)
最近,刀郎的《罗刹海市》红遍网络。除了音乐和文学的功底之外,也说明它的时代性反映了社会的问题和民众的心声。1960-70年代摇滚乐的出现,不仅挑战了古典音乐的统治地位,也是西方国家的年轻人对美国发动的越战等一系列战争的抗议。读者可以比较1960年代以来,西方三位最有影响的歌手和刀郎对当代社会观察和批判的深度。显然刀郎超越了国内乐坛的个人恩怨之争。读者可以自己查找本文提到的几首代表名作。

Imagine 想象
Lyrics
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us, only sky
Imagine all the people
Livin' for today
Ah
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people
Livin' life in peace
You
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Joan Baez (1941- ) 美国当代民歌手和作曲家
Donna Donna 多呐,多呐
[Verse 1]
On a wagon bound for market
There's a calf with a mournful eye
High above him, there's a swallow
Winging swiftly through the sky
[Chorus]
How the winds are laughing
They laugh with all their might
Laugh and laugh the whole day through
And half the summer's night
Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna
Donna, Donna, Donna, Don
Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna
Donna, Donna, Donna, Don
[Verse 2]
"Stop complaining!" said the farmer
"Who told you a calf to be?
Why don't you have wings to fly with
Like the swallow so proud and free?"
[Chorus]
How the winds are laughing
They laugh with all their might
Laugh and laugh the whole day through
And half the summer's night
Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna
Donna, Donna, Donna, Don
Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna
Donna, Donna, Donna, Don
[Verse 3]
Calves are easily bound and slaughtered
Never knowing the reason why
But whoever treasures freedom
Like the swallow has learned to fly
[Outro]
How the winds are laughing
They laugh with all their might
Laugh and laugh the whole day through
And half the summer's night
Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna
Donna, Donna, Donna, Don
Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna
Donna, Donna, Donna, Don

Bob Dylan (1941 - ) 美国当代歌手和作曲家
Blowin' In The Wind 随风飘散
Lyrics
How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, and how many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
Yes, and how many years must a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea?
And how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
Yes, and how many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
And how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, and how many deaths will it take 'til he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

刀郎《山歌寥哉》
一,【序曲】(广西山歌调)(画面与1988年的河殇对照,用生态的大陆文化对比西方的海洋文化)
九州山歌何寥哉
一呼九野声慷慨
犹记世人多悲苦
清早出门暮不归
八,【罗刹海市】(东北靠山调)(把当代商业文化价值观的颠倒,归结为人类根本的哲学问题)
罗刹国向东两万六千里
. . . . . .
西边的欧钢有老板
生儿维特根斯坦
他言说马户驴又鸟鸡
到底那马户是驴还是驴是又鸟鸡
那驴是鸡那个鸡是驴
那鸡是驴那个驴是鸡
那马户又鸟
是我们人类根本的问题
十一,【未来的底片】(说书调)(明显讽刺美国代表的商业文化)
昨日犹似羽衣舞 今朝北邙狐兔窟
当天空依旧愁云山雨欲来
岩洞里阴冷潮湿没有火的照应
这样的天气这样的日子里
狐狸还只是无法对映的光景
所有的需要都只是身体的需要
意义仅仅是孤简的风干的粮草
走过了蛮荒的高原去往成熟的麦田
这世界我们来去轮转像一个圈套
就在这反复不倦的身体里面
一片片预言一把把刀镰
不停地劈开人群预定的交换
西风飒飒依旧冷
潭水时而清澈时而浑
在梦里贡献着一列列
愉悦单据的人们
把镜中的月水中的花
墙上的遗志笔下的七魄三魂
打印成点阵清晰黑白分明的年轮
在村头金黄的麦地
雄伟的石狮守护老爷的厚道
一对对锄头在反复地耕耘里
换成了枪炮
狐狸已经出现在地主家的书简
吞尽了狼烟
逍遥地在穹顶大地留白间
写下这一道一道的符号
城邦的狐狸在桃欢柳笑
意义的幻境来自未来的妖
重现在虚拟的一零一零一零幺
历史照着镜子 成长在反复叙事
预言在屏幕里
交换的全都是模板的样式
在霓虹闪烁的高楼循环的快感
滋养未来的符号
灵魂在重启的账户的路径里
不停地哀嚎
狐狸还在祷告
在止于黑的佛晓昼夜地舞蹈
追逐使无为的生存变得需要
在意义里无谓地骄傲
在止于黑的佛晓
