Manta 專輯介紹
“我愛他們游動(dòng)時(shí)優(yōu)雅的姿勢(shì),不緊不慢上下扇動(dòng)著的翅膀,兩只略顯呆滯的眼睛下詭譎的譏笑。 他們有一個(gè)聽起來很可怕的名字,但一顆牙齒都沒有。 當(dāng)我第一次隔著厚厚的玻璃在海洋館看到manta游泳的樣子,被造物主的創(chuàng)意和巧思沖昏了頭腦: 原來水下也有飛行家。遠(yuǎn)看光滑如鏡的皮膚和錯(cuò)落的白色斑紋,是他們前衛(wèi)廓形的燕尾服,沉默飛翔的魔鬼魚們像是星辰和大海之間的使者,在無盡的藍(lán)色中穿梭。 他們?cè)谒镲w起來的樣子,像極了天空上展翅高飛的鳥,美得不像魚,據(jù)說在中生代侏羅紀(jì)時(shí)就在海洋里了。都說魚兒在水里游,鳥兒在天上飛,但是魔鬼魚的存在,打破了那些常理和規(guī)則對(duì)我來說,這些美麗生命的特殊性給我展示了一種世上無限的可能,和在規(guī)則之上的自由灑脫。 在海洋館時(shí)看到的魔鬼魚總能讓我感受到困獸的憂郁,后來為了想要親眼看到屬于大自然的野生魔鬼魚,去斐濟(jì)學(xué)了水肺潛水,終于考完證在最后一天和跟隨當(dāng)?shù)貪O民坐船6個(gè)小時(shí)去蹲點(diǎn)魔鬼魚吃飯,但當(dāng)我趕到時(shí)卻錯(cuò)過了他們,要是有朝一日能夠和他們?cè)谒镆黄鹞璧妇吞烂罾病? 蝠鲼俗稱魔鬼魚,聽起來像是海底怪獸,但張開深淵一般的大嘴之后其實(shí)光禿禿的沒有牙齒,捕食習(xí)慣是對(duì)著洋流游泳,一邊張開嘴坐等小魚小蝦被沖進(jìn)嘴里。聽說他們性情溫順但偶爾古怪,喜歡搞點(diǎn)惡作劇捉弄人,得知這飯來張口的佛系吃飯習(xí)慣之后更覺得他們可愛了,加上傻乎乎的黑眼睛和嘲諷的假笑,怎么會(huì)有這么完整生動(dòng)的魚設(shè)?矛盾,藐視規(guī)則,熱愛自由,復(fù)雜得像你,像我,像每一個(gè)人。 他們吸引我的這幾個(gè)特質(zhì)都看起來有些矛盾,而這種沖突感是我這首歌靈感的來源,代表著世上真的存在難以被定義的存在,和身為一個(gè)異類卻依然自由的狀態(tài)。我在這首歌里把自己裝進(jìn)了魔鬼魚的身體,賦予自己在這一首歌的時(shí)間里無限的可能,試圖讓這股能量能穿透耳膜沖進(jìn)每個(gè)聽者的血液,成為“打破規(guī)則”行為的bgm. 不用定義,他們是特別的存在,你也是。” ----劉柏辛 lexie: “manta is one of the key symbols of this whole album that’s coming right up. the song ‘manta’ is about possibility and freedom. manta ray is my favorite animal. i love the way they move underwater: flapping their wide fins up and down (as if they had real wings) in a nonchalant manner silently, different from everything else down there in the ocean. i saw manta rays for the first time in an aquarium behind those thick glass walls. i was in awe of these exquisite and delicate creatures—the sleek, glossy skin shimmers underwater, looking like an avant-garde black tuxedo with white prints. “flying” underwater, defying the rules of gravity, challenging the stereotypical “birds flying in the sky, fish swimming underwater” type of notion, with a little black tux on, a manta ray is like an elegant emissary, or a rhetoric traveller between the stars and the ocean. their 100 million years of the peculiar existence on earth really hit me with the infinity of possibilities of life on this planet. i actually learned scuba diving in fiji just to see the wild ones in flesh, but sadly i still missed them after spending 6 hours on the yacht looking for their eating spot. maybe that’s why the wild ones are wild! i still wish someday i get to dance with them underwater. sometimes i see myself in them. i can sense the depression of the ones trapped in an aquarium. their complexity, nonchalance, unruly spirit, and just the peculiarity of these coexisting yet conflicting elements, even the half-ridicule, half-playful “smile”. in this song, i imagined myself being inside a manta ray’s body for three and a half minutes and went crazy by challenging infinite possibilities in my music. hopefully i can transfer this power to whomever listening, pump up the blood in their systems with the energy of my sound, and waken the sleeping beast inside their hearts and souls haha. i also wanna send out this message through not only this song but the entire album that there is no single definition of your existence, and you should be whatever you want to be. ”劉柏辛Lexie
