尽情摇滚

唱摇滚的女歌手不多，唱得好的就更少。来自爱尔兰的The Cranberries 是我喜欢的一支摇滚乐队。主唱是位女歌手，她有个响亮的名字：德洛丽丝Dolores。如果说同样来自爱尔兰的女歌手Enya的歌声是来自仙境般的飘柔，而Dolores的歌声却如同深谷的清泉飞流直下，回响不绝。

电视剧西部世界中的德姐Dolores 说过Beauty is a lure. The Cranberries 到美国首次演出时，主办方也没多想，找了个能容纳3000人的场地，让五个警察维持秩序。没多久主办方就意识到犯了巨大的错误。演出还没开始，就已经出现了1万多名狂热的歌迷。演出被迫推迟了40分钟，刚唱完一首半歌，警察就说没法控制场面，让乐队停下来。当歌迷听说乐队不会回来演唱，极其愤怒，立马板砖，啤酒瓶，还没吃完的食物一齐飞向警察。还来只能请来更多的防爆警察才控制了场面。

让The Cranberries 成名的是Dolores写的Zombie。从上个世纪六十年代到九十年代后期，北爱尔兰的寻求独立的共和军同英国战斗了几十年。93年的一次爆炸事件中，有两个无辜的小孩受伤死亡。Dolores很伤感，写了这首充满愤慨之情的歌曲。

歌词写道：

Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence caused such silence
Who are we mistaken?

But you see, it's not me
It's not my family
In your head, in your head, they are fighting
With their tanks and their bombs
And their bombs and their guns
In your head, in your head, they are crying

昨天恰巧是 Good Friday Agreement签订25年，这期间没有战争，没有无辜的人受伤死亡。让人欣慰，在这个纷乱的世界人类还是可以和平共处的。

Dolores为怀念祖父写过的一首和柔情的歌，听得让人心化。歌词很美，一幅幅画面在婉转的歌声中展现在眼前，一个小女孩时而趴在祖父的膝盖，时而坐在炉火旁，听爷爷讲着故事，在金色的田野上，牵着爷爷的手，一蹦一跳的。爷爷已经去世，而那些美好的回忆还在脑海中萦绕，那些画面和场景仿佛还在眼前。这首歌虽然并不是The Cranberries最出名的，我很喜欢。

There was a time, I was so lonely
Remember the time, it was on Friday
You made me feel fine, we did it my way
I sat on your knees every Friday

(We walked in fields of golden hay)
I still recall you
(We walked in fields of golden hay)
I see you in the summer
Jo-o-o-oe, Jo-o-o-oe

I sat on your chair by the fire
Transfixed in a stare taking me higher
Precious years to remember
Childhood fears I surrender

(We walked in fields of golden hay)
I still recall you
(We walked in field of golden hay)
I see you in the summer
Jo-o-o-oe, Jo-o-o-oe
