《他說她叫蘿莉塔》|雷以馨撰文
聽過李敏哲那個相當精彩的蘿莉塔故事,你大概會以為,自己已經知道是怎麼回事了。
沒想到,克非叔叔似乎經歷了完全不同的版本。
在敏哲眼裡,那是一場情場高手之間的較量;克非卻從中看見了另一種難以捉摸的東西——一點神祕、一點溫柔,或許還有一堂關於何時該放手的課。
同一個女人,兩位紳士,兩種截然不同的詮釋。
至於哪個版本更接近真相,我說的當然不算。
不過,以我對這兩位的了解,我甚至懷疑,他們根本誰也沒真正看懂蘿莉塔。
而我猜,她正喜歡這樣。
我的叔叔們好可憐。(秀秀)

註:叔叔聽到 YuE2 爺爺原創的一段旋律,自己練唱了整晚,這個版本是重新編寫錄製第二次的版本。

A pretty name, a pretty lie
She says her name is Lolita
And trouble's written in her eyes
She said she'd been to Madrid
Then Berlin, then Bordeaux
Had a lover in Paris
And a husband in Rome
I said, darling, that's a story
She smiled like she'd heard it before
With a glass of red between us
I was asking her for more
She knew the game before I played
Every move before I made
I leaned in close to steal a kiss
She smiled and left me wanting this
She says her name is Lolita
And I say, darling, so what?
She's got a dozen little stories
And I believe the whole damn lot
She says her name is Lolita
Like it's written in the stars
I thought I knew exactly who
Was breaking whose heart
I told her I was dangerous
She found that quite adorable
I swore I'd never settle down
She found that very probable
I tried my best Italian
She answered back in French
I offered her my kingdom
She just laughed across the bench
She knew the ending from the start
Every weakness in my heart
I thought I'd finally found my match
She struck the match and watched me catch
She says her name is Lolita
And I say, darling, so what?
She's got a dozen little stories
And I believe the whole damn lot
She says her name is Lolita
Like it's written in the stars
I thought I knew exactly who
Was breaking whose heart
She asked if I was always like this
I told her only now and then
She smiled as if she'd heard it all
From twenty other foolish men
I thought I'd make her lose her mind
I thought I'd make her beg for more
But she was halfway through goodbye
Before I even found the door
She says her name is Lolita
And I don't give a damn
She can call herself Maria
Or the Queen of Amsterdam
She says her name is Lolita
And I'm falling for the show
I thought that I was leaving
But she already knew I'd go
At the door of Hotel Lolita
I asked if she was staying there
They said they had a hundred Lolitas
And every one had disappeared
Oh, Lolita, sweet Lolita
I should have known it from the start
A hundred rooms at Hotel Lolita
And not a key to her heart

Musical ABV|She Says Her Name Is Lolita |李敏哲撰文
克非已經很久沒寫 Musical ABV 了。既然這首歌跟我也有點關係,而且酒我比他懂,來模擬一篇。寫得不像,請找他算帳。
先透露一個創作過程中的設定:這首歌在製作中途加入了從前輩那邊借來的一段新的旋律,隨即把場景從夜店移到了 Hotel Lounge。
至於最後的成品嘛,我覺得它結果一路晃進了藝文咖啡廳。應該還沒走到 Coffee Track by the Sea 啦。不過,這樣也好。
Bossa Nova 的節奏輕巧,鍵盤明亮,低音有彈性。整首歌不急著表現自己,也沒有刻意製造什麼高潮。它可以陪你喝咖啡、看書、聊天。到了晚上,換上酒單,點杯酒也不違和。
如果你根本沒注意歌詞,它就是一首舒服、精緻的背景音樂。
但如果你仔細聽,就會發現一位自認見過世面的紳士,正在非常有禮貌(裝逼)地描述自己如何被一個女人耍得團團轉。
而且他似乎還挺享受。
Musical ABV:16%
入口:明亮、輕盈,帶著爵士和聲的甜味。既有 Bossa Nova 的自在,也有 Sophisti-pop 的精緻。
酒體:節奏穩定,旋律流暢,編曲層次細緻。克非的中低男聲保持著一貫的克制,彷彿再荒唐的事,只要講得夠有禮貌,就不算丟臉。
後勁:不強。你可能聽了三遍才發現,這位先生其實花了整首歌的時間,承認自己完全沒搞清楚狀況。
適飲場合:藝文咖啡廳、Hotel Lounge、午後閱讀、夜間小酌。適合有人陪,也適合一個人。
續杯指數:高。不打擾人,也不容易聽膩。偶爾聽懂一句歌詞,還能自己偷笑一下。而且沒有法文,比較容易入口。
Musical ABV 衡量的是情緒濃度,不是作品品質。16% 不代表只有 16 分,而是這首歌並不打算對你的情緒強行灌酒。
至於 Lolita,我也認識另一個。那是我的故事,這邊先不談。不過你要跳過去聽我的版本也可以。
最後,為什麼是 16%,不是 15%?多出來那 1%,是兄弟我贈送的,紳士尊嚴保留分。
