Patti Smith —— SPELL

听多了黑暗民谣，让我们来换换口味吧。

这一期内在音乐介绍的是朋克教母Patti Smith的一首歌曲SPELL 。

其实，我一直认为Patti Smith所体现的才是真正的朋克精神。她与时下流行的那种伪朋克截然不同。
清晰地记得当初在朋克时代1上听到Patti Smith 1975年的专辑Horses的开首曲Gloria时，
那种切入血液的狂喜与悲切。
可以说，是Patti Smith让我在瞬间就接受了朋克。朋克时代上那篇访谈令我格外感动。
不久就买到了Horses的打口磁带（完整的，没打到），翻来覆去听了将近一个学期。

呵呵，在这个连“新裤子”之流都被称为朋克的时代，活着真是一件滑稽的事儿。


我们介绍的这首音乐SPELL出自Patti Smith 1997年的专辑Peace and Noise。



这首SPELL其实是Patti Smith为老垮掉派（准确地应该称为BG）诗人艾伦·金斯堡的诗作《嚎叫注释》所配的音乐及歌唱。音乐做得相当好，迷幻、沉思、回旋往复，出色地再现了原诗作的独到风格。

我在某个下午漫不经心地听着这个专辑，开始没有太大的感受，到了第4首（就是这首）时突然就被音乐揪住了。然后看了歌词才知道是金斯堡，这个可爱的颓废老头的诗歌。于是彻底喜欢上了它。

后来买了文楚安翻译的，中英文对照的金斯堡《嚎叫》诗集，看到了这首诗的完整文本。
我常常跟着这首音乐诵读英文原诗，时快时慢，有时真的是疯狂地嚎叫出来。
令人魂灵出窍的生命感觉……


原诗：

Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy!
Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy!
The world is holy! The soul is holy! The skin is holy!
The nose is holy! The tongue and cock and hand and asshole holy!
Everything is holy! everybody's holy!
everywhere is holy! everyday is in eternity!
Everyman's an angel!
The bum's as holy as the seraphim! the madman is holy as you my soul are holy!
The typewriter is holy the poem is holy the voice is holy
the hearers are holy the ecstasy is holy!
Holy Peter holy Allen holy Solomon holy Lucien holy
Kerouac holy Huncke holy Burroughs holy Cassady
holy the unknown buggered and suffering
beggars holy the hideous human angels!
Holy my mother in the insane asylum! Holy the cocks
of the grandfathers of Kansas!
Holy the groaning saxophone! Holy the bop
apocalypse! Holy the jazzbands marijuana
hipsters peace & junk & drums!
Holy the solitudes of skyscrapers and pavements! Holy
the cafeterias filled with the millions! Holy the
mysterious rivers of tears under the streets!
Holy the lone juggernaut! Holy the vast lamb of the
middle class! Holy the crazy shepherds of rebellion
Who digs Los Angeles IS Los Angeles!
Holy New York Holy San Francisco Holy Peoria &
Seattle Holy Paris Holy Tangiers Holy Moscow
Holy Istanbul!
Holy time in eternity holy eternity in time holy the
clocks in space holy the fourth dimension holy
the fifth International holy the Angel in Moloch!
Holy the sea holy the desert holy the railroad holy the
locomotive holy the visions holy the hallucinations
holy the miracles holy the eyeball holy the
abyss!
Holy forgiveness! mercy! charity! faith! Holy! Ours!
bodies! suffering! magnanimity!
Holy the supernatural extra brilliant intelligent
kindness of the soul!

(Berkeley, 1955)
