哈囉! 大家好, 我又來了, 希望颱風天大家都平安 1個多月前, 賈伯發表對當年Common People成為暢銷單曲的看法 報導如下: http://www.list.co.uk/article/42920-pulps-accidental-hit/ Jarvis Cocker says Pulp's most recognisable song, 'Common People', became a "popular song by accident." 賈伯認為當年會紅一切都是意外 Jarvis Cocker says Pulp's 'Common People' was a "popular song by accident." The band's 1995 single was a number two hit in the UK, and has remained the band's defining moment, and Jarvis admits as soon as he came up with the idea that they were onto something. 17年前的單曲在英國排行榜最高名次達到第二名, 且奠定了樂團的全盛時期 賈伯承認在他們還來不及對這些局勢變化有什麼想法前, 就已經達到那個高度了 Jarvis said: "I'm quite proud of that song. I must have written it in mid 1994. It was an exciting time. There was this feeling in the air that something was changing, with Britpop. 賈伯認為, 他以"Common People"這首歌為榮, 大概是在1994年中寫出的 那真是令人興奮的時光 感覺這首歌似乎帶給Britpop一些改變 "We felt like we'd managed to tap into something so we wanted the single out very quickly. [這句不知怎麼翻??] 總之PULP想要盡快揭露這首單曲 "We played it at Reading in 1994 and it went down amazingly. We'd written a popular song by accident." PULP在1994年的Reading音樂祭首次表演Common People. 接著神奇的引起了迴響, 賈伯說它能變成暢銷單曲完全是意料之外 The frontman added he still gets excited every time the reformed band play the track, and if he didn't, he would know it was time to quit. 賈伯說即使到了今日, PULP復合後每次演唱Common People時都還很興奮 如果哪天他感覺不到興奮時, 或許就是他要離開舞台之時 He added: "If I didn't feel excited playing it, that's how I'd know it was time to get rid of the high heels and call it a day." 他補充說到, 假如我無法對它再感到興奮, 就該收工了 The song's lyrics talk of a rich Greek student who wants to live with ordinary working class people, based on one of Jarvis' real experiences, but the girl's identity remains unknown, as Jarvis never found out her name and an attempt by documentary makers to track her down also proved fruitless. "Common People"歌詞描述一名希臘富家女想要和平凡的藍領階級人物交往, 該創作概念來自賈伯真實的人生體驗 但那女孩的身分不明, 不清楚她的姓名,賈伯經過嘗試後還是找不到她的訊息 [最後一句翻的不好(有點沒頭沒尾的), 還請高手協助] 那下次再聊囉! --
