2021-05-25 00:36:42春艷、老莫、凱琳、Matt Hsu:台灣嘻哈的icon們與
多才多藝的台裔澳洲作曲家讚頌“新冠時代”的台灣奇蹟
「就當家裡」
一股強強聯手,橫跨太平洋兩大洲的全新勢力即將登場,此陣容包括了:台灣嘻哈界大家耳熟能詳的老莫與春艷、屢獲殊榮的台裔澳籍音樂人Matt Hsu’s Obscure Orchestra以及爵士/R&B新星歌手兼ICRT DJ凱琳Cait Lin。
在這個海外台灣人回家極其不容易的時候,Matt特別想要創作一首描繪“台灣精神”的歌,於是“就當家裡”應運而生。這首歌的主題小從發掘生活周遭的小確幸開始;大至感受臺灣整體的生活型態。在“就當家裡”中,你平常聽過的所有樂器Matt幾乎都用上了!他總計運用了15種管絃樂器打造這首受七零年代西洋靈魂樂啟發的全新創作單曲。
在台灣深耕奉獻於中文饒舌創作以及嘻哈知識教育推廣超過十年的OG級先鋒、資深團體參劈TriPoets的成員老莫已經是在嘻哈圈內人人respect的大前輩。在“就當家裡”中,老莫帶來富有台灣街頭原味的歌詞,引領聽眾穿越島嶼,深入感受其對台灣人生活中不同面向的愛與認同。
台灣嘻哈新浪潮最耀眼的明星之一-春艷自2013年在「Diss RBL」與饒舌巨擘熊仔的一場“切磋”成名之後,致力發行各類領域的創作,如今的他,已是享譽樂壇的新生代表演藝術家。他以帶有些許飄渺與抽象的歌詞、強烈個人風格以及前衛的藝術性演繹來探索台灣人與土地的情感連結。
凱琳 Cait Lin 是近年來在台灣名聲鵲起的新人歌手之一。與Matt一樣出生於澳大利亞的她是名台澳混血兒。凱琳在台灣有著多重身份,首先,她個人是名精通爵士與R&B曲風演唱的歌手;第二,她是爵士樂團"Zy the way中庸"的看板人物;第三,她是春艷Cook The Vibe顏社煮場秀影片中的合音老師;第四,她身兼ICRT的DJ。有賴於擔任首席製作人的凱琳牽線,在“就當家裡”中,我們有幸能看到Matt、老莫、春艷三位才華洋溢藝術家的首次合作。除此之外,她也為此曲找來了能分別代表台灣多元族群的音樂家與聲音。
昆士蘭音樂獎世界音樂類得獎者Matt Hsu aka "Matt Hsu's Obscure Orchestra"是位實驗音樂作曲家。他能演奏多達二十種以上的樂器,此外他也擅長將各類民俗樂器、管絃樂器、以及生活中唾手可得物,以及生活中唾手可得物品發出的聲響編織在一起,譜寫出豐富多彩而匠心獨運的音樂。身為一名"ABT"(Australian-born Taiwanese),Matt從小受澳洲當地獨立音樂、龐克樂與實驗音樂的薰陶,長大後,他成為了全澳洲音樂界最受推崇的實驗音樂作曲家兼社會運動參與者。在跨文化背景成長下的他時常藉由譜寫出在聽覺上超凡脫俗的音樂稱頌多元性與包容性。此外,Matt還擔任自己的17人編制管絃樂團指揮,而被澳洲樂壇比喻為澳洲的Shugo Tokumaru。
這首單曲之中的琵琶solo是由在國內音樂界備受肯定的音樂人陳妍心 Sylvie Chen 擔綱演奏,而在結尾出現的族語和台語則是出自馬卡道族靈魂歌手Vita張芮菲和九歲的盧唯誠小朋友。這次單曲發行的視覺呈現來自一堆年輕又很有想法的臺灣夫妻:林嘎嘎與陳幸運所創立的獨立時尚設計品牌Loopy鹿皮。鹿皮的設計範圍涵蓋了繪製圖像、衣著與各式物件,至於鹿皮創作的風格可謂天馬行空,正如她們所說:創作風格有些很鮮豔,有些很簡單。最後,Matt還執導這支單曲的MV,畫面的組成包含了與春艷、老莫、凱琳和妍心的視訊互動以及在疫情爆發以前,Matt在台灣遊玩時拍攝同性婚姻合法化遊行的影像紀錄。

日文歌詞 / Japanese Lyrics :
うらぶれたシグナル 無暗に光らせ
果てない迷路 進んだってどうせ
a 9 days wonder 絡まった旋律
解かぬままリピートしたら いつまでも 疼いて痛い
満ち足りない
変わりはしない? この世界
心したいようにして 吠える勇気は 微塵もないくせに
愛されたい
すがろうとしてるの? もういいって
澱んでくだけの思いこそ解けば
夜を撃つ サイレン 夢想への SOS
全部 朽ち果てていいから
透き通った一瞬を 呼び覚ましてよ
ねえ ここから Ash flame 宿して抗え
どんな無様でも手を伸ばせ
苦い笑みも ひび割れたくらいじゃ 壊れやしない
ぐしゃぐしゃ 丸めて心を 捨てようとして
的外れのまま 耐えるのには長すぎる滑走路
託されたい 変えようとしてるよ どうしたって
だからお願い あのフレイズを繋いでみせて
ぼやけたシグナル 両手にあつめて
急かすように 紡ぎだしたストーリー
a 9 days wonder 真夜中の不文律
ひとつも置いていかないよ いつまでも 抱いていよう
夜を穿つ サイレン 瞬くは SOS
どんなに 汚れ 削られても
夢という怪物は 美しいんだよ
何度でも Ash flame 宿して刃向かおう
誰に追われても構わない
過ぎし日の cloud nine 宿命果たすまで 絶やさないよ
中文歌詞 / Chinese Lyrics :
落下深淵的破舊信號燈,僅是毫無意義與規律地閃爍著
心中不存在終點的迷宮,無論如何前進也無法改變
僅需曇花一現般的短暫,便能呈現內心糾纏成結的雜亂旋律
若不解開而任其肆意反覆迴響——便將深藏心頭隱隱作痛
「還不滿足嗎?」
「難道連一點變化都沒有嗎?這無趣的世界。」
內心故作在意一般,卻連一絲回過頭喊叫的勇氣都沒有
「我僅是渴望被愛。」
「現在還在乞求能夠被拯救嗎?差不多夠了吧?」
若能將陷至水底深淵的思緒解開的話——
在這夜晚響徹的鳴笛,將劃破夜空為夢想呼救
哪怕一切早已腐朽枯涸也無妨
在萬物沉寂,而能聽見聲音的那一瞬喚醒我吧
聽我說,就從現在起,哪怕此身由焰火餘燼所成,仍不畏抵抗
即便那是多麼不堪入目的模樣,只要伸出手——
就算僅能迎來苦澀的強顏歡笑,也不會只因些許裂痕而盡數毀壞消逝
想將蜷曲成團、早已碎裂崩壞的內心捨棄擲出
卻難以擲中目標,看來膽怯而緩和衝擊的跑道仍太過冗長
希望能受到託付,故仍試著改變紊亂的心,難道不行嗎?
所以,就拜託你了,請將那纏繞我心的旋律一同繫起
早已模糊不清的老舊信號燈,就用這雙手收集四溢的光芒吧
如此朦朧,彷彿受催促而編撰出的故事般破碎
曇花一現般消逝,於午夜的月光下不成文形
哪怕早已四散,我也不會拋下任何事物離去。不論何時,我都會緊抱所有
在這夜晚響徹的鳴笛,將轉瞬穿過夜空呼救
不論染上多少汙穢、不論被剝奪了多少
曾名為「夢想」的怪物,仍是如此令人著迷
我將不斷地化作焰火餘燼,緊握利刃奮力前行
即便遭遇他人追趕阻卻也無妨
為了重拾逝去的欣喜過往,在抵至命運終點之前,我永不停歇
英文歌詞 / English Lyrics :
The falling shabby signal recklessly sparkles.
There's no meaning keep walking in this endless maze.
A 9 days' wonder with tangled rhythm.
If you don't untie it and just let it repeatedly playing, you only receive more pain in the end.
Not satisfied.
"Still no changes in this world, huh?"
As if keeping in mind, yet I don't possess any courage to yell it out loud.
I want to be loved.
"Still begging for help? It's enough."
If I can release all those emotions precipitating like dregs in the deepwater...
The siren that blasts through the night is the SOS sent from a dream.
I don't mind if it has already died in obscurity.
Call and wake me the moment when everything is clear.
Hey, I'll resist like the ash flame existing in my body from now on.
No matter how clumsy I may look like, I'll reach out my hand.
Even if the result is a bitter laugh, it won't break just by some cracks.
I have thrown this twisted, broken heart away.
Yet I can't hit my aim, the runway that endures impact seems to be too long.
I want to be reliable; I want to change no matter what. What's wrong with that?
So please, help me connect with that phrase.
The fuzzy signal I collected with my hand.
It's obscure as if the story that fabricated abruptly.
A 9 days' wonder with midnight's unwritten law.
I won't leave anything behind; I'll hold them forever.
The siren that pierces through the night is the instant SOS.
I don't care how much it has been tainted or deprived.
The monster called "dream" is fascinating.
I'll move forward with the knife like the ash flame existing in my body, again and again.
I don't care who tries to chase and stop me.
I won't let the flame die until I fulfill my fate and regain those bygone days of cloud nine.

Former Hong Kong Governor Lord Chris Patten video message Transcript
I know that this week in Hong Kong, thousands of people will be making their views clear, demonstrating against the proposals on extradition, which the government has put forward, extradition to China. It’s a proposal, or a set of proposals, which strike a terrible blow - I think - and so, I think to most people in Hong Kong and so does the international community, against the rule of law, against Hong Kong’s stability and security, against Hong Kong’s position as a great international trading hub. And the surprise is that the government in Hong Kong doesn’t seem to understand that. It does make you wonder sometimes who actually runs Hong Kong these days: is it the Hong Kong government or is it the joint liaison office acting on behalf of the communist regime in Beijing?
Why is this important? Well it’s the latest in a number of things that have happened in recent years which have tightened Beijing’s grip on Hong Kong, and which have profoundly worried people. I think for ten or a dozen years after 1997, things in Hong Kong went pretty well. Of course they could have gone better, I’m sorry that Beijing throttled the development of democracy, much against the promises that have been made earlier. But by and large, I think, Hong Kong remained a very free and successful society.
But ever since the regime in Beijing started to roll back Deng Xiaoping’s reforms and the developments that have taken place under Jiang Zemin and Zhu Rongji and Hu Jintao, and Wen Jiabao; ever since then, with the Party taking control over everything, cracking down on dissidents, cracking down on human rights, locking people up, incarcerating them in Xinjiang and so on. Ever since then, we know that Beijing has also been tightening its grip, or trying to, in Hong Kong. And I think that the latest proposals on extradition are an example of that.
Now a lot of very spurious arguments are put forward, it said that the present situation is a “loophole” which needs to be filled up - that’s absolute nonsense. People have known exactly why there shouldn’t be an extradition agreement with China for years, and many of the arguments put for the government’s proposals don’t actually pass the laugh-off-your-seat test. The argument that, well, it’s better to have an extradition treaty than to abduct people illegally from Hong Kong - are people really supposed to believe that?
Except for, but of course, Western democracies in Europe have extradition agreements with China, but they’re in a very different position to the position that Hong Kong is in. The reason why international chambers of commerce, why lawyers, why business around the world, why governments have raised their objections is very simple: because what these proposals do is to remove the firewall between Hong Kong’s rule of law and the idea of law - which prevails in Communist China - an idea of law where there aren’t any independent courts, where the courts and the security services and the party’s rules - which are, sometimes, pretty obscure - are rolled altogether. That’s why we’ve seen recently Canadian citizens that are locked up are taken as if it were hostage against things happening in Canada itself under the rule of law there. So it’s not surprising that people are so worried about what is happening.
I know that when people talk about the particular problem in relation to Taiwan, the leaders of the Hong Kong Bar Association over the last few years, I think a dozen of them, have put forward proposals which show how you could deal with that issue building on the existing common law.
So these proposals are bad for Hong Kong, they - I think - raise all sorts of questions which the government hasn’t even thought through, not least about Hong Kong’s economic importance and economic stability. We know very well that Hong Kong needs to be treated separately in economic and commercial matters from the rest of China. When I was governor a long time ago, I used to travel to Washington fairly regularly to argue the case for treating Hong Kong differently from, say, Shenzhen and Shanghai. But if you appear to be regarding Hong Kong from Beijing as though it was just another China city, then sooner or later, economic governments around the world, businesses around the world, when they’re looking even at things like the Belt and Road Initiative, they’re going to regard Hong Kong as just another part of China, and that would be really bad for the standard of living, for the quality of life in Hong Kong!
Above all, of course, if we go ahead, if the government goes ahead with this extradition agreement, it will cause unnecessary worries and anxieties in Hong Kong. That’s a really bad thing. I hope that even at this late stage, the government will back off and leave well alone. It doesn’t have to happen, it shouldn’t happen, and Hong Kong should carry on as a free society, under the rule of law, without having to worry about this extradition.
前港督彭定康錄影講話翻譯
我知道這星期在香港,成千上萬的人將會到街上遊行表達自己的意見,反對政府所提出將會容許引渡到中國的引渡修例建議。這是一項,或者應該說是一系列我及國際社會認為將會對香港的法治、香港的穩定和社會安全造成很大打擊的建議,它將會嚴重傷害香港作為一個國際貿易中心的地位。令人驚訝的是,香港政府似乎並不理解這一點。這確實令人懷疑這些日子究竟是誰在管治香港:是香港政府還是代表北京共產黨政權的中聯辦?
為甚麼這修例是這麼重要?這是近年來發生的一系列容許北京強行控制香港的事件之一,而這一直以來都讓人深感憂慮。我覺得在1997年之後的十年至十幾年,香港的情況進展尚算順利。當然,是本來可以更好,我很遺憾北京扼殺了香港民主的發展,違背了之前所作出的承諾。但總的來說,香港在那個時候仍然是一個非常自由和成功的社會。
但是,自北京政權開始推翻鄧小平的改革以及在江澤民、朱熔基、胡錦濤和溫家寶時期所推行的發展以後,共產黨控制着一切,打擊持不同政見的人,打擊人權,在新疆把人民關押等等。從那時起,我們就知道北京一直在試圖加緊控制香港。我認為最新的引渡建議就是一個例子。
現在香港政府提出了許多非常虛假的論點,它說目前的情況是展現了一個需要填補的「洞」,這絕對是胡說八道。大家多年來都確切地清楚知道不應該與中國達成引渡協議的原因。而政府提出的許多論點實際上也沒有一個不令你拍案大笑。政府認為制定引渡條約比從香港非法綁架人民更好,你認真覺得人們應該相信這個說法嗎?
當然他們又會說歐洲的西方民主國家與中國已經簽訂了引渡協議,但它們與香港根本處於完全不同的地位。國際商會、律師、商人及各國政府之所以提出反對意見的原因非常簡單:因為這些修例將會摧毀香港法治與中國共產黨的法治概念之間的防火牆。中國的法律觀念不包括任何獨立的法院,並把法院、國安部門以及黨的規則 (黨規則亦有時相當模糊)完全混在一起。這就是為甚麼我們最近看到被關起來的加拿大公民被用為人質,反對加拿大本身在她自己國家的法治下所發生的事情。因此,人們如此擔心這修例所帶來的影響並不奇怪。
我知道當人們都正在談到與台灣有關的問題之際,過去幾年的香港大律師公會領導人,應該是有十幾位,都已經提出意見,說明你如何就着香港現行的普通法來處理這個問題。
這些修例對香港不利,我認為這些修例所引發的疑問是甚至政府都沒有仔細考慮過的,尤其是對香港經濟重要性和經濟穩定性的影響。我們非常清楚在經濟和商業方面是需要把香港與中國其他地區分開對待。很久以前,當我還是港督的時候,我經常前往華盛頓游說對方看待香港的時候要跟對待深圳和上海之類的中國城市有所不同。但是如果以北京的角度看香港,將香港當為另一個普通中國城市,那麼世界各地的政府及企業將會視香港為中國的一部分(而不是特區),就算是看待「一帶一路」之類倡議時亦會是如此。這對香港的生活水平和生活質素都是非常不利的!
當然,最重要的是如果香港政府繼續硬推這些引渡修例,這將會在香港引起不必要的憂慮和焦慮。這些都是非常糟糕的事情。我希望即使在這個最後階段,政府仍然可以退讓,撤回方案,不要再添亂。這修例不需要通過,亦不應該通過,香港應該繼續是一個有法治、有自由的社會,而不應該面對這些令人憂心的引渡修例。
