Where the Wild Roses Grow

曾经，迷笛音乐节作为中国摇滚乐重新崛起的旗帜，独自捱过了十年，之后有了摩登天空的草莓音乐节，之后迷笛开始走出北京，之后有了雪山，有了张北音乐节，有了好多好多音乐节……

尤其是2011、2012这两年，貌似全国都在搞摇滚音乐节，很多大城市为了打造自己的城市名片，为了迎合青年人的时尚潮流，纷纷打起了音乐牌，曾经几乎无法进入主流视线的摇滚乐终于走进了大众的舞台，虽然各个音乐节上的表演者们：扭曲的机器、谢天笑、痛苦的信仰、反光镜、后海大鲨鱼、周云蓬、小河、万晓利、沙子、夜叉、木马、崔健……来来回回就是这些个熟悉的面孔，要不是这几个，要不是那几个，这台音乐节瞬间来个乾坤大挪移换个音乐节牌子就完全可以是另一个舞台的全部。但不管怎么样，音乐节的造势，对这些辛苦奋斗了10多年、20多年的音乐人们而言，当然是一件好事：经济和名气的双重礼包也许能够补偿他们这么多年执着的付出。对于摇滚乐本身而言，也是极大的推广。

一晚上听了多少歌，已经记不清了，好听的，过耳留痕的，没感觉的……不知怎么突然想到了Nike Cave的一首歌《Where the Wild Roses Grow》，什么时候听都是那么迷人。



they call me the wild rose
but my name was elise day
why they call me it I do not dnow
for my name was elisa day

from the first day Ii saw I knew she was the one
as she stared in my eyes amd smiled
for her lips were the colour of the roses
that grew down the river,all bloody and wild

when he knocked on my door and entered　the room
my trembling subsided in his sure embrace
he would be my first man,and with a careful hand
he wiped at the tears that ran down my faces

on the second day I brought her a flower
she was more beautiful than any woman I'd seen
I said,"do you know where the wild roses grow
so sweet and scarlet and free?"

on the second day he came with a single ted rose
said,"will you give me your loss and your sorrow?"
I nodded my head,as I lay on the bed
he said,"if I show you the roses will you follow?"

on the third day he took me to the river
he showed me the roses and we kissed
and the last thing I heard was a muttered word
as he stood smiling above me with a rock in his fist

on the last day I took her where the wild roses grow
and she lay on the bank,the wind light as a thief
as I kissed her goodbye,I said,"all beauty must die"
lent down and planted a rose between her
