Words Get Around

Artist：Múm
Album：Finally, We Are No One (2002)

禮拜天，打完比賽後，躺在台大校園瑠公圳水池旁邊的草地上，舒舒服服的吹著風，看著鴨子悠閒得划水，一群群的麻雀在身邊不斷飛來飛去，忽然就想到【Green Grass of Tunnel】這首歌的MV，雖然是電腦動畫，那霧氣瀰漫的蒼茫極圈海面、碎裂漂浮的冰山、不斷翻飛的燕子與不斷發出溫暖光芒的燈塔，那意境絕美脆弱的幾乎讓人不敢大力呼吸。

Múm，這個來自冰島的樂團，以聰穎輕巧的電子節拍為基底，大量的取樣與原音樂器為襯裡，搭配著夢幻輕盈的女vocal，建構出一首又一首靈性韻味十足的小品，略顯破碎粗糙的電子節拍彷彿不忍心讓人直接暴露在窗外冰凍的漫天風雪般，善意地透過一層毛玻璃隔絕了冷冽刺骨的低溫，他們刻意地在樂音中多了一絲絲溫度，這樣的溫柔甜美幾乎要讓人掉淚，卻也在平靜中緩慢地呼吸著感動。這張專輯的聆聽經驗無疑是相當私密而純粹的，他們輕輕柔柔地揭開內心最深處的傷痛，在北國冬日的陽光下舒展曝曬。

穿過那幽黑陰深的隧道，有著陽光普照的綠色草地，可以盡情的翻滾、躺臥，呼吸著泥土的氣息。

【Green Grass of Tunnel】

Down from my... ceiling
Drips great noise.
It drips on my head through a hole in the roof.

Behind these two hills heeere...
There's a pool.

And when I'm swimming in
through a tunnel....
I shut my eyes.

Inside their cabin I make sounds
In through the tubes I send this noise.

Behind these two hills heeere...
fall asleep.
And when I flood in green grass of tunnel...
It floods back.

Down from my... ceiling
drips great noise.

It drips on my head through a hole in the roof.

Behind these two hills heeere..
there's a pool.
And when I'm swimming in
through a tunnel....
I shut my eyes.
