WHY?Little questions about life, death, numbers, plants, people and the stars. 概念专辑简介 孩子站在这个世界面前,认真地问一些大人早已习以为常的事情: 谁告诉河流应该往哪里流?为什么有些门总是有人可以进去,有人却只能站在外面? 孩子不知道钱为什么一定要存在,为什么人必须工作,为什么有人可以拥有很多,而有人什么也没有;他们也不知道国界、规则、权力、阶级、战争和秩序为什么被认为是“正常”的。 而正是这些天真的问题,让这个看似熟悉的世界突然变得陌生。 在这张专辑里,荒诞、童趣、幽默和忧伤交织在一起。 孩子的声音很轻,却不断碰到一些很重的东西。 也许,当我们重新用孩子的眼睛看这个世界,我们才会发现:很多我们称之为“现实”的东西,最初也许只是某个人曾经规定下来的一个规则。 而一个孩子最珍贵的能力,也许就是还没有忘记问: Why? --This is an album about asking questions. A group of children stand in front of the world and ask about the things grown-ups have stopped questioning: Who tells the river where to go?Why are some doors open for some people, but closed for others? Children do not know which questions they are “not supposed” to ask. They do not know why money must exist, why people must work, why some people can have so much while others have so little. They do not know why borders, rules, power, class, war, and order are simply called “normal.” So they ask. And somehow, these innocent questions make the familiar world strange again. On this album, the moon might have to pay rent. The sun might have a boss. A river might need a passport. The stars might have been put in the wrong pocket. The songs move between wonder, absurdity, humor, sadness, and quiet rebellion. The voice of a child is small, but the questions keep touching very heavy things. These songs do not give answers. They are a collection of questions that grown-ups may have forgotten how to hear. Perhaps when we look at the world through a child's eyes again, we begin to notice that many of the things we call “reality” were once just rules that somebody decided to make. And perhaps the most precious thing a child can do is simply to remember how to ask: Why? -- Track 01. Alive《Alive》是这张专辑的第一声提问。 它是一首轻盈而富有哲思的波萨诺瓦小品。 鱼儿知道自己生活在水里吗?鸟儿会害怕坠落吗?蚂蚁知道自己很小吗?树知道秋天来了吗? 歌曲从孩子般的好奇出发,不断追问动物、植物、人类与世界是否意识到自己的存在。问题看似简单,却慢慢通向一个古老而辽阔的谜题:为什么会有“存在”,而不是一无所有? 副歌没有给出答案,只用轻快的 ba-da-da 和 la-di-da 唱着 Alive。也许鱼儿根本不需要知道自己是鱼儿,花只需要开放,树只需要生长,而鲸鱼只需要歌唱。 最终,所有问题都安静下来。鱼在游,鸟在飞,蚂蚁回家,树一言不发。 “Alive” is a light, playful bossa nova song that turns simple questions into a gentle meditation on existence. Nylon guitar, upright bass, brushed drums, soft piano, and a mischievous clarinet create the atmosphere of a quiet French café on a sunny afternoon. Does a fish know it is in water? Does a bird get scared when it falls? Does an ant know it is tiny? Does a tree know when autumn comes? The song keeps asking questions that sound almost childlike, yet gradually open into something much bigger: animals, plants, home, identity, consciousness, and the strange mystery of simply being alive. The chorus offers no answer. Instead, it dances around the word “Alive” with playful syllables and scat-like melodies. Perhaps the fish does not need to know it is a fish. Perhaps the flower simply opens, the tree simply grows, and the whale simply sings. And maybe we are the ones who keep asking what it all means. In the end, the questions become very quiet: The fish swims.The bird flies.The ant walks home.The tree says nothing. 一南 | Yinan 前往小宇宙评论区与主播互动
