在音乐这条大道上经过长时间的不懈努力,Frank Turner这张混合着布鲁斯摇滚、民谣摇滚的第三张个人专辑终于展示在我们面前,作为英国已经解散的一支并未拥有太多名声的后硬核乐队Million Dead的主唱,Frank Turner所发行过的三张个人专辑,已经明确地昭示着他已经由早期的生猛渐渐转变为如今的厚重平静。



歌词:



Song:Broken Piano

Artist:Frank Turner



As I walked out one morning fair,

I found myself drawn 1 thoughtlessly

Back to the place we used to live,

And you still do, now without me.



Around the back, away from the road,

Behind the bins 2, beneath your window,

I found the hulk, the rusting 3 bulk

Of a shattered old piano.

Someone had torn out some of the keys

With cruel care, not thoughtlessly,

In such a way that one could only play

Minor 4 melodies.



So I sat down in my sadness, beneath your window,

And I played sad songs on the minor keys of a broken piano;

A sinner amongst saved men on the banks of the muddy Thames.



As I have wandered through this city,

Like a child lost in the London fog,

From Highgate Hill, down to the river,

Then washed downstream past the Isle 5 of Dogs,



I've had time enough to think upon

The question of what kind of songs

That you would choose to listen to

Now that I am gone.

And as I drift beneath that bridge,

Just down the road from where you live,

I've often thought I might have caught

Your voice upon the wind.



But as I stroked those broken keys

You did not join in harmony.
