little child dry your crying eyes
how can i explain the fear you feel inside
cause you were born into this evil world
where man is killing man and no one knows just why
what have we become just look what we have done
all that we destroyed you must build again
chorus
when the children cry let them know we tried
cause when the children sing then the new world begins
little child you must show the way
to a better day for all the young
cause you were born for all the world to see
that we all can live with love and peace
no more presidents and all the wars will end
one united world under god
chorus
what have we become just look what we have done
all that we destroyed you must build again
no more presidents and all the wars will end
one united world under god
when the children cry let them know we tried
when the children fight let them know it ain't right
when the children pray let them know the way
cause when the children sing then the new world begins
也许在上世纪八十年代最为风行的流行金属音乐一直是那些号称是“真正的、纯粹的”金属迷或者摇滚迷所不屑的,但不可否认在当时的流行金属音乐阵营中的确是“人才辈出”,DEF LEPPARD,Bon Jovi,Mr.Big,也包括White Lion。虽然这支以外形和音乐华丽著称的重金属乐队总是给人阴柔有余而阳刚不足的感觉,虽然他们没有辉煌的战绩,没有一大把的经典,但是一头白狮子我永远记得。就像他们的名字一样,白色的狮子是种变异,这支名为 White Lion[白狮]的乐队也正是重金属阵营中的“异类”。独特的音乐个性,优美华丽的音乐旋律,主音歌手优雅的唱腔,以及在重金属乐队中显得较为干净、“轻柔”的配器,都成了他们广受欢迎的理由。乐队中主唱Mike Tramp极富磁性的优雅嗓音以及Vito Bratta华丽的吉他演奏无疑是乐队的独家法宝,听者在被主唱的沧桑演唱引至如痴如醉的境界时又总是被主音吉他刀锋般锐利的吉他扫弦唤回现实,这种感觉真是拥有令人难以抗拒的魔力。
说实话,我的耳朵已经越来越挑剔了,很难再有什么音乐能给我惊艳的感觉,但是这首《When The Children Cry》却再一次给我强烈地震撼。音乐起始部分的木吉他金属音般的拨弦就非常的勾魂,清脆、铿锵,一如古战争中金戈铁剑的碰撞交锋。主唱的嗓音也放弃了往日的激情、高亢,多了几分沉静的收敛,把整首歌的悲凉意境渲染得极为到位。最值得一提的就是整首歌的配器,重金属音乐中罕见的纯净、宁和,除了整首音乐中天籁般的金属音主音吉他拨弦外,平时很暴躁很有活力的击鼓和贝司也表现出了难得的低调,内敛,细品味很见功底啊,也正契合了音乐低沉、伤感的反战主题。
