(歌词在字幕里)【综述】陈淑桦留给她同事的一个谜是:她到底是谁?她的音乐形象经历了如此多的变化,他们疑惑:她认识她自己吗?以她最亲密的歌曲--英文二重唱《Closer》为例,这段视频探讨了陈淑桦在歌中的多元性。在现实生活和工作里,她得很小心。而在音乐改换现实中,她必须,也可以自由地,进入天下任何Sarah的角色。
-----------------------------------------
A puzzle Sarah Chen left for her closest colleagues was: Who is she? Her musical persona underwent such transformations-from an innocent and graceful young woman to an assertive urban woman-that they wondered, "Does she even know herself?"
Using her most intimate song, the English duet "Closer," as an example, this video explores the contrast between Chen Shuhua in her Mandarin songs and Sarah in her English songs. While not an outlier among her English songs, the level of intimacy in "Closer" is extraordinary compared to her Mandarin work. In fact, even the album producers censored it immediately. The printed English lyrics left out the most intimate lines, while the printed Chinese lyrics might as well be titled "Distant." Shielded by the language barrier, Sarah Chen sang all the love needed for the song.
The energetic, free, and colorful soul of Sarah Chen had no place in the harsh reality women faced in 1970s-1990s Taiwan. However, she was free of societal restraints in the alternate reality of her music world, especially her English songs.
The song also illustrates Sarah Chen's suitability for duets. The contrast with male vocals makes her already beautiful voice magnificent. Chen would go on to record several blockbuster Mandarin duets in the 1990s.
陈淑桦留给她同事的一个谜是:她是谁?她的音乐形象经历了如此多的变化,从优雅温柔的年轻女子到后来独立自主的都市女子,他们不禁疑惑:“她认识她自己吗?”
以她最亲密的歌曲--英文二重唱《Closer》为例,这段视频探讨了陈淑桦在中文和英文歌中不同的音乐形象。虽然在陈淑桦的英文歌曲中《Closer》并不出轨,但其亲密程度与她的国语作品相比不是一个数量级。甚至连专辑制作也立刻对歌进行了纹饰。印刷的英文歌词省略了最亲密的句子,而印刷的中文歌词翻译则完全淡化了亲密程度。在语言差异的掩护下,陈淑桦唱出了歌中需要的情意。
陈淑桦充满活力、自由和色彩缤纷的心灵在1970-1990年代台湾女性所面临的现实中无处容身。然而,在她音乐世界的改换现实中(尤其是英文歌中),她可以摆脱社会的束缚, 把自己的灵魂倾注在音乐中。
这首歌也显示出陈淑桦的歌声很适合于对唱。陈淑桦原本美丽的嗓音在与男歌手嗓音衬托下更显得奇妙。在这之后,陈淑桦与李宗盛,成龙、周华健和张国荣创作了轰动一时的男女对唱。
