最後一天:小心!SAOSIN已抵台!
Taipei 101
許多喜歡SAOSIN的人,
居然是一首他們自編自唱的RAP諷刺歌曲"SHOW ME YOUR BOOTY HOLE",
這首歌不但是美國LIVE時被歌迷瘋狂安扣的歌曲,
更在YOUTUBE掀起一波迷弟迷妹的帶動唱自拍潮,
此舉不但惹惱許多嘻哈民眾,
更讓聽過的人覺得嘻哈歌曲的MUSIC VIDEO中總是請大屁股妞在那扭是多無聊。
所以這次1/20 SAOSIN第一次在台灣的演唱會,
就請大家在安扣時大聲喊說"SHOW ME YOUR BOOTY HOLE"(最好要有SLAP屁股的聲音)
我們明天見!

倒數第二天!小心翼翼的情感 BY嘴哥樂團
如果有朋友第一次接觸Screamo甚至是獨立音樂,SAOSIN一定是我們推薦的不二選擇。
流暢與優美的旋律,主唱純淨的音色和飽滿的高音,造就了和陌生聽眾最良好的連結。
如果要推薦給聽樂團的朋友,SAOSIN縝密的編曲、樂器編織和旋律完美契合的穿透力,
更是不可能錯過的收藏。專注完美的音樂純粹,這就是我們喜愛SAOSIN的原因。
像一股強大的原生力。
每個晚上,靜靜思考每天的獲得和失去。
在SAOSIN歌曲的包覆下,搭配訴說口吻的歌詞,總會感覺心裡十分激動,
但腦袋又能清晰察覺,音符與節奏順暢的在流動,也許這就是他們造就,小心翼翼的情感。
每個早上,用一首歌迎接太陽。
SAOSIN爆發的吶喊高音和嘶吼,和著澎湃的音牆與完美連接橋段的鼓點,
總會讓我們充滿力量。
聽完歌,穿好衣服,準備好了,今天也要用力奔跑然後跌倒。
SAOSIN就是這樣一個樂團,能滿足我們對音樂的許多期待,超棒的。
真的很開心有這次機會,能和光景消逝一起參與SAOSIN的暖場。
純粹與細膩的表演,是這次對自己的目標。

倒數第八天:小心!這樣的開場
大合唱歌詞一定要背熟(二)
2006年第一次遠赴日本參加Taste Of Chaos, 信誓旦旦的在會場外悠閒喝著生啤酒想說會有當地日本樂團暖場慢慢的往會場移動, 不料 “It's Far Better To Learn” 的前奏就硬生生的放了一分多鐘馬上為之瘋狂的我啤酒直接不要的往前衝, 旁邊的朋友還整個摸不著頭緒的問:誰阿誰阿?? 已經沒有什麼耐心再解釋什麼的我轉頭就說:X!SAOSIN啦!!! 就這樣接著和同名專輯的下首歌一樣”Sleepers”那個時候真的什麼都可以不用管啦!在回憶的同時也開始期待台北演唱會的開場, 是不是也是 “It's Far Better To Learn" ………
還不知道威力的往下看就對了!
It's Far Better To Learn
And over
High above, they're taking over you
And you should know
I will not let you go
(Let you go)
What is my body worth?
Was there a price set before?
There's something greater there
What is my body worth?
Was there a price set before?
It's not gonna change you
We walk along
But never turn to see what we have done
(What we have done)
We choose our moves so carefully for you
(Carefully for you)
I will not let you go
(Let you go)
What is my body worth?
Was there a price set before?
There's something greater there
What is my body worth?
Was there a price set before?
It's not gonna change you
What is my body worth?
Was there a price set before?
It's not gonna change you
Why believe in nothing?
Why believe in nothing at all?
Why believe in nothing?
Why believe in nothing at all?
What is my body worth?
Was there a price set before?
There's something greater there
What is my body worth?
Was there a price set before?
It's not gonna change you
What is my body worth?
What is my body worth?
Sleepers
What happened to us all?
Have we slept through it?
Taking hits off the surface
It's too hard to swallow when
Their judgements are concentrated
On everything they know.
Was it all enough? (No fair)
Or did it wake you up from your sleeping?
[Chorus]
I've overheard it once
This has gone on before
It's too one in the same
When you're accounted for
We seem so far away from
These things we used to know
We seem so far away from
everything we are
Everyone that moves around me
They're saying nothing
That makes the fight a blur
Say we're something that no one wanted to hear
They know that everything is wrong
Was it all enough? (No fair)
Or did it wake you up from your sleeping?
[Chorus]
I've overheard it once
This has gone on before
It's too one in the same
When you're accounted for
We seem so far away from
These things we used to know
We seem so far away from
everything we are
All we are is golden
This won't mean a thing
All we are is golden
This won't mean a thing

倒數九天:《 SAOSIN》同名專輯介紹
《Saosin》整張專輯聽下來, 在許多美式Hardcore節奏的快歌中,穿插了幾首較為緩慢的苦情歌,不僅緩和了緊張的氣氛,也突顯了主唱Cove Reber的美聲,同時也使整體顯得更為流暢。
其中"Voices" 則是一種近似悲憐的口吻,來表達自我與人群間的迷失。
"Voices"
高畫質
I miss the part, when we were moving forward now
(On our way down)
But maybe someday, I'll be something more than love
Just know I'll never tell
And when you're on your way down
(Through the clouds)
And you're waiting for your body's re-entry again
We speak in different voices
When fighting with the ones we've loved
We speak in different voices
Why can't we say what we're thinking of
I'm missing parts, now that you've told me everything
(On our way down)
And I was blessed and I've forgotten how to love
You said you'd never tell
And when you're on your way down
(Through the clouds)
And you're waiting for your body's re-entry again
We speak in different voices
When fighting with the ones we've loved
We speak in different voices
Why can't we say what we're thinking of
Not even I will tell...
We speak in different voices
When fighting with the ones we've loved
We speak in different voices
We say these things to know they're real.
We speak in different voices
When fighting with the ones we've loved
We speak in different voices
Why can't we say what we're thinking of
We speak in different voices
When fighting with the one's we've loved
We speak in different voices
We speak in different voices
To know they're real. Real.
I'll never...
"Bury Your Head"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9hNd54Nljk
Bury your head,
Bury your head,
I was feeling fine,
You’ll be coming clean tonight,
And I’ll be falling down with you once again,
Call me your valentine, call me once tonight,
And I will then say it's okay,
The things you've said, I’m rehearsing them
The things you've said, I’m rehearsing them
They went back on us,
(Closed eyes rolled back couldn't step it up),
I could know him to come over when,
It’s the thought that emerges,
(Take back couldn't step it up),
I could never love, your eyes have changed.
Bury your head, has the child smashed you down,
And the psalms will never call me again,
(Fall down below),
I'll sleep tonight
(When you're okay),
And I will then say it's okay,
The things you've said, I’m rehearsing them
The things you've said, I’m rehearsing them
They went back on us,
(Closed eyes rolled back couldn't step it up),
I could know him to come over when,
It’s the thought that emerges,
(Take back couldn't step it up),
I could never love, your eyes have changed.
They will be the ones to see him come
Is this what you call love?
They stole my lies,
You write it all,
They wandered around and 'round my mouth,
They stole my lies,
You write it all,
Stole it all,
They have been the ones to see enough
They went back on us,
(Closed eyes rolled back couldn't step it up),
I could know him to come over when,
It’s the thought that emerges,
(Take back couldn't step it up),
I could never love, your eyes have changed.
You'll be coming clean tonight...
"Some Sense Of Security"
So what have we done?
With X and O's to mark our way home (home)
It seems as though we've forgotten
The way we move
Can we save ourselves?
From the one we're becoming
Please monsieur, remember
Don't tell me how to get somewhere better
Why write with confidence?
Why try to save them?
We try to not forget
It's so much better there
Did you think you could make it on your own?
It was so much better there
So what have you done
To make yourself a little bit happier
I can feel the vibrations
When you said I'd feel nothing
I'm giving up, so give it up
Please monsieur, remember
Don't tell me how to get somewhere better
Why write with confidence?
Why try to save them?
We try to not forget
It's so much better there
Did you think you could make it on your own?
It was so much better there
((This won't mean anything..))
((This won't mean anything...))
This won't mean anything
This won't mean anything tonight
This won't mean anything
This won't mean anything tonight
Why write with confidence?
Why try to save them?
We try to not forget
It's so much better there
Did you think you could make it on your own?
It was so much better
((This won't mean anything))
((This won't mean anything tonight...))

倒數十天:你不知道的SAOSIN / 小心的愛
“小心”這個字源自於15世紀中國的諺語, 當時的父親提醒他們的兒子們要小心那些只因經濟因素且無任何感情而嫁來的女人們。
他解釋這個這個自後面的意涵是沒有任何事是永恆的, 而對於任何一件事物過度的依戀都是個很大的錯誤, 因為最終它還是會消逝. 它對於小心的闡釋是非常負面晦澀的。
為樂團取名的前任主唱Anthony Green「Saosin」是來自中文的「small heart」也就是「小心」,但是在他的理解裡,這是「小心的愛」(love cautiously)的意思。
前後主唱各具特色 不分軒輊
第一次聽到Saosin的歌,是由前任主唱Anthony Green所演唱,收錄在第一張EP《Translating the Name》中的一首〈Seven Years〉。之所以會立刻被吸引住,就是因為Anthony的嗓音,不但有寬廣的音域,高音域的音色很棒,也擁有很強的爆發力,美聲和接近嘶吼的高音都能勝任。其他團員的表現也相當不凡,豐富多變的鼓點,狂而不亂的吉他,加上配合的恰到好處的貝斯,還有吉他手emo式的嘶吼合音,組合出〈Seven Years〉這一首值得一聽再聽的好歌。
單曲的表現如此不凡,當然專輯也一定有相當的水準。雖然歷經了成員大換血,主唱、鼓手及貝斯手都經過替換,Saosin仍然有著在《Translating the Name》時的實力。現任主唱Cove Reber的歌聲其實和前任主唱Anthony Green有著相當程度的類似,在高音都有極佳的表現,不分軒輊。聽到Reber的聲音,給人的第一個印象就是「乾淨」,尤其是在高音域的部分,有時甚至還會有女聲的錯覺。雖然少了一點Green的爆發力,但是卻多了一份純淨的美聲。不知道是不是因為音樂後製的關係,或者音源品質的不同造成的差異,不過前後兩任主唱的表現,都是令人激賞的。其中一首〈Dear Child (I’ve been dying to reach you)〉兩位主唱的演出更是令人一再回味。
