New Model Army的《Marrakech》收录在专辑《Impurity》中,以其奇特的后朋克风格和深刻的歌词,讲述了一个充斥绝望和希望的故事。歌曲描绘了一幅被捕获的场景,在阴影下的庭院,在被击败的旧车中,在非洲灌木丛中,用冰冷的手铐锁在一起的双手,末日降临般的氛围笼罩着一切,但在绝望中,却依然能感受到一丝对未来的期盼。
歌曲的情感表达十分内敛,却又充斥力量。歌词“They found us in the courtyard at our table in the shade / We toasted our last few moments and then the end came”充斥了末日般的静谧,而“Sometimes I wish it was still that way...”则暗示着即使身处困境,也存在着一种特殊的羁绊和希望。
弹奏技巧:
这首歌曲的吉他部分相对简单,主要由D、Em、Bm、G、A和E几个和弦构成。Verse部分循环使用 D Em Bm G Em D A Em G 的和弦进行,营造出一种压抑和循环的感觉。Bridge部分使用 D A B2 (相当于不使用小指的Bm) 和弦,为歌曲带来一丝变革。需要注意的是,B2和弦的运用,使和弦转换更为流畅,也更能体现歌曲中矛盾的情感。
和弦指法建议:
总之,《Marrakech》是一首值得细细品味的歌曲。通过学习它的吉他谱,不仅可以掌握一些基本的吉他技巧,更能深入体会歌曲所表达的复杂情感。
