※《#PJ哈維:#戰地拾音錄》介紹(7/10在臺上映),之一※
翻看網路對於 PJ Harvey 的音樂評價「狂放」、「純粹」、「女性特質」、「詩意」等等均有之,不過我不太敢隨便評析音樂,倒是她的歌詞令人眼睛一亮。
曾幾何時我們耳聞的流行歌已充斥著虛擬情愛,分手與苦戀彷彿成為人生的唯一,許多所謂創作歌手的創作,淪為在書桌前翻翻字典後的文字堆積,逐漸地,我們也就難以分清強說愁與真實情感的差異。
你也創作嗎?你創作的靈感是從何而來?只是為了寫而寫嗎?音樂紀錄片《PJ哈維:戰地拾音錄》剪輯紀錄了英國搖滾歌手 PJ Harvey 為創作,於2011年到2014年這三年,與知名攝影師兼導演 Seamus Murphy 走訪科索沃、阿富汗等當時正發生戰事的地區,並將她親身觀察到的人事物與風景,作為創作的泉源。
電影的英文原片名“A Dog Called Money”,直譯為「有隻狗被稱作錢」,同名歌曲如下,有興趣者不妨可以聽聽看。

“A Dog Called Money”
Director: Seamus Murphy
Writer: Seamus Murphy
Star: PJ Harvey
The kids, they're rolling dice for change
Sitting on the backyard steps
Calling Money's name
Old guy walking to the store
Chewing on a cocktail stick
Starts to tell us what is what
He says
"Everything is staged
That's how it is
People are just paid to work
And I'm tired of it
What you gonna do to change it?
Everything is staged
That's what's going on"
The kids rolling dice again
The sun is beating down
I asked the old guy's name
He smiles
The people runs our way
The kids call out for him
"Money, money"
He says
"Everything is staged
That's how it is
People are just paid to work
And I'm tired of it
What you gonna do to change it?
It's all about money
That's what's going on"
〈有隻狗被稱作錢〉(中譯)
孩子們,賭骰子為了改變現況
就坐在後院的臺階上
叫錢的名字
老人走入店舖
咀嚼雞尾酒棒
娓娓道來這一切
他說
一切正在上演
就是這樣
人們為了錢而活
但我已厭倦
你能改變嗎?
一切正在進行
就是這樣
孩子們再次擲出骰子
太陽即將落下
我探問老人的名姓
他只是微笑
那個人走上我們的道路
孩子們呼喚他
錢啊,錢
他說
一切正在進行
就是這樣
人們為了錢而活
但我已疲憊
你能改變嗎?
都是為了錢
就是這樣

這首歌詞看來很簡單,確實很簡單(被揍...)。但我認為詩也亦該如是,簡單樸實。
它的焦點明確──「錢」,不濫用誇飾辭藻,僅以「孩子擲骰子」為景,直白地寫出歌手該時該刻的見聞,呈現出理應無憂無慮,在父母呵護下遊戲探索世界的童真,卻因為所處環境的貧窮甚至戰事,不得不提早長大,面對宿命卻又無能為力,只好藉由賭博謀取金錢,想要翻轉命運。
歌手將正常情況下不該同時出現的要素,──強調並連接起來,呈現畫面的荒謬和衝突。創作者不刻意加入私人的悲憫,我認為這正是比寫他者的災難或痛苦更令人容易觸動的文字。
面對他者的苦難,書寫者只有安分守己的如實記錄,才能夠比較靠近苦難多一點點。很多時候作品所用的「苦難」(或其他相似詞)文字,只是一種包裝而已,寫來寫去其實自己並非真的感受其中痛苦。

2011 focus評價 在 吃貨回憶錄 Facebook 的最讚貼文
Bichot家族在勃根的歷史超過六個世紀,自1831年開始葡萄酒事業,皆是父子相傳,目前已經是第六代經營。因為一開始沒有以經營者命名行銷,長久以來不重視英語系國家的評論家,曾經有人在關於布根地的刊物上給予他過低的評價,自此之後Albert Bichot便刻意迴避媒體等等原因使得過去的他像沈睡的巨人般較不被大眾認識。後來改變經營方式,栽種設備,行銷手法,也漸漸展現他有能力釀造出精緻優質高階紅白酒。由Montrachet Grand Cru年年上漲的價格就可發現他們改變後的成效。當晚的Albert Bichot Montrachet Grand Cru果然表現不俗,不吝嗇地在杯中展現撲鼻的香氣,水梨、蘆筍、奶油誘人芬芳,入口後細緻的桶味、礦石風味和優雅的酸度達到舒服的平衡,雖說陳年後能展現更豐富多元的層次,天時地利人和把握時機享受Montrachet的青春可愛也未嘗不可!

T̥ͦh̥ͦe̥ͦ Bichot family has made burgundy its home for over six centuries. In 1983, Bichot had its start in the wine business by founding a merchant house. The family heritage has been perpetuated from father to son since then, and it is currently managed by the sixth generation. The branding has historically showcased the names of the individual domains rather than the owners of the domains, but eventually they started using the Bichot name discreetly. They have overlooked many of the English language opinion makers, which explains why they are not as well known as they could be. The lack of focus on English opinion makers stems from the fact that there were some books written about burgundy which portrayed Bichot as an underachiever. For all these reasons, Albert Bichot was like a sleeping giant. Later on, they improved their vinification equipment, marketing strategy and business model to show they are also capable of making fine wine. You can tell the results by the increasing price of Montrachet Grand Cru. That night, it surely left a lasting impression on all of us. Abundant pear, asparagus, cream smell in nose. Alluring and fragrant! Fine minerality, woody, and elegant acidity reached to a perfect balance in mouth. We can expect more complexity after aging but at the right time and with the right company, it was very nice to enjoy the beauty and youth of Albert Bichot Montrachet GC 2011!
