你可能没听过 Pixies 的名字,但你一定在片子《搏击俱乐部》的片尾高潮中听到过那段迷离而震撼的旋律——它就是《Where Is My Mind》。这首出自乐队1988年经典专辑《Surfer Rosa》的歌曲,由乐队主唱兼词曲创作核心 Charles Thompson(即 Frank Black/Black Francis)创作,早已超出了独立摇滚的范畴,成为一种文化符号。
《Where Is My Mind》的歌词充斥了超现实的意象,好比“双脚悬在空中,脑袋顶着地”(With your feet in the air and your head on the ground)以及反复涌现的“我的思绪在哪里”(Where is my mind)。这种迷失、解离和自我身份追问的情感,与歌曲独特的氛围完美融合,营造出一种既梦幻又不安的听感,直击听者内心深处关于存在和认知的困惑。
这份广为流传的《Where Is My Mind》吉他乐谱(Guitar Tab)为我们揭示了这首歌迷人音墙的构建方式。乐谱中清晰地显示了为两把吉他编写的部分:
Guitar 1 (贯穿全曲的基础律动): 这是歌曲的骨架,由一段简单但极具辨识度的四和弦/riff构成。这段riff以其重复性制造出一种催眠般的循环感,虽然技术上不复杂(主要是一些开放和弦或力量和弦的变形),但它是整首歌氛围的关键。通过乐谱可以看出,这段riff几乎不间断地连续,为歌曲提供了稳定而迷幻的配景。
Guitar 2 (旋律与织体): 与 Guitar 1 的固定不变形成对比,Guitar 2 在歌曲的分歧部分饰演着分歧的角色。在主歌(Verse)部分,Guitar 2 弹奏的是一段高把位的单音旋律线(在 B 和 G 弦上),这段旋律仿佛是漂浮在 Guitar 1 稳定结构之上的思绪,增加了歌曲的条理感和旋律性。而在副歌后的连接段(Post-Chorus),Guitar 2 又转换成另一段更具节奏感的低音区riff,为歌曲注入了新的活力。
弹奏技巧浅析:
《Where Is My Mind》之所以经典,不仅在于其独特的歌词和氛围,更在于其巧妙的音乐结构。通过这份《Where Is My Mind》吉他乐谱,我们可以看到,即使是相对简单的元素,经过精心的编排和情绪的注入,也能发明出如此深邃而令人难忘的音乐作品。拿起你的吉他,考试考试着去弹奏这段经典的 riff 吧,在指尖的拨动中感受那份迷失与找寻的共鸣。

Lyrics:
[Verse] With your feet in the air and your head on the ground Try this trick and spin it, yeah Your head will collapse But there's nothing in it And you'll ask yourself
[Chorus] Where is my mind Where is my mind Wheere is my mind
[Post-Chorus] Waay out, in the water see it swimmin'
[Verse] I was swimmin' in the Carribean The animals were hiding behind the rocks Except the little fish But they told me, he swears Trying to talk to me to me to me
[Chorus] Where is my mind Where is my mind Wheere is my mind
[Post-Chorus] Waay out, in the water see it swimmin'
[Guitar Solo]
