Lizzy聊電影

在介紹「為你鍾情」之後，我想特別提一首歌，Johnny Cash翻唱搖滾樂團Nine Inch Nails的"Hurt"。在電影裡沒有提到，因為這是晚期的作品了。"Hurt"是由Nine Inch Nails主唱Trent Reznor譜寫，收錄在專輯"The Downward Spiral"裡。我有那張專輯，但一直沒特別注意"Hurt"這首歌，直到我聽了Johnny Cash翻唱版本。這版本發行時，已是Johnny Cash去世的前一年，他非常深厚沉重的嗓音唱來，別有味道，讓我瘋狂愛上這首歌，也讓我深刻感受到歌詞中的疏離與痛苦，年老的Johnny Cash唱著"What have I become? / My sweetest friend / Everyone I know / Goes away in the end"，讓人感慨人生。尤其最後一段實在好好聽，Johnny Cash唱的那句"I will let you down. I will make you hurt."真是太震撼了。不過，原本歌詞裡的"crown of shit"被改成"crown of thorns"了。

這支音樂錄影帶非常棒，還獲得了葛萊美獎。我尤其喜歡後段，越來越激動的音樂，搭配上耶穌被釘上十字架的那段受難畫面。
 

"Hurt"歌詞

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything

What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of shit
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here

What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end

You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way
