当迈克尔·杰克逊的经典歌曲,像“Rock With You”,在地方俱乐部播放时,都会勾起派对里人们的复杂感情。虽然这位传奇艺人在两个月前过世了,他的歌迷还是继续维他的离去哀悼,媒体也对他争议性的死亡研究得更深入。
在公众反应的影响下,奥克兰嘻哈组合Napalm Clique的Unity和Trevor合作制作了一部音乐录影带以向这位巨星致敬。制作这部杰出的录影带是为了“让迈克尔继续闪耀”,人们会从中享受到走过MJ充满创造性一生的月球漫步。
这首歌名叫“闪亮”(Shining),这部录影带在继续迈克尔的精神时也保持了他正直的一面。Trevor是Eklectyk Creative Media的创始人,他导演和编辑了这部录影带。另外,他以表达者的身份出现在这部录影带中,表达了他自小就是杰克逊的一名忠实歌迷。像他在歌词理说的那样,
“现在我看着这些音乐录影带,知道了该去做什么:继续激励其他年轻人,因为你也激励了我。”
Unity和Trevor承认迈克尔对时尚和风格的影响力来自于他大量的经典音乐录影带,他们也穿着和迈克尔一样的那些令人印象深刻的外套。Unity是这首歌的制作人,正准备发行他的新专辑Audio Veve,他的穿着令人想起了杰克逊早期的音乐录影带中的造型。
总的来说,“Shining”音乐录音带中的片段也表达了MJ作为世界上最著名的黑人艺人,寻找着属于自己的私隐和平静。
歌曲里甚至引用了受人尊敬的Al Sharpton牧师在MJ追思仪式上的一段讲话,“谢谢你从来没有停下脚步。谢谢你从来没有放弃……”
事实上,Napalm Clique做出一支关于黑人公众人物对流行文化的影响力的音乐录影带,没人会感到意外。“Shining”是他们连续第三支关于非洲黑人领袖的音乐录影带。在这三部曲之中第一步名为“革命”(Revolution),赢得了三项好莱坞黑人电影节的奖项,包括最佳音乐录影带。Naplam Clique的第二支音乐录影带名字是“我们需要一位总统”(We Need A President),是支持奥巴马的作品,在2008年Vote Hip Hop颁奖典礼上也赢得了最佳音乐录影带。
最后,“Shining”是对迈克尔杰克逊一次卓越的纪念,因为就像Unity说的那样“这是一位称之为传奇的人,我们应该永远记住他。”(编译/Kian)
歌词:
They wanna tear down A true black legend shining;
But no matter what you say My brother Michael is shining.
You talk a lot of lies about him, But we see that your lyin.
Brother Michael is shining. Brother Michael is shining.
(Repeat 2x)
他们想摧毁一个真正闪耀的黑人传奇
但不管你们怎么说,我的兄弟迈克尔都会在闪耀
你们说尽他的坏话,但我知道你们在撒谎
兄弟迈克尔在闪耀,兄弟迈克尔在闪耀
It’s Michael Jackson
It’s Michael who yawl?
It’s Michael Jackson!
(Repeat 4x)
是迈克尔·杰克逊
你喊的是哪个迈克尔?
是迈克尔·杰克逊!
Unity:
No matter what you say…
You know you used to Bump Michael Back in the day.
In fact Michael Jackson was The only thing you played.
Lip singing, listening To everything he say.
无论你怎么说
你知道你曾经疯狂爱着迈克尔
事实上那时你只听迈克尔杰克逊的音乐
哼唱,倾听他的诉说
So tell me why they wanna
talk about him that way?
He always spoke the truth.
He raised my moms and pops up in the days of their youth.
告诉我为什么他们要那样谈论他?
他说的始终是真相
我爸妈年轻时随着他的音乐长大
I’m gon take it way back
To the days of…
Ill be there.
A-B-C,1-2-3, Do Re Mi Made you care.
我想追溯过去
直到
“我会在那”,
“A-B-C”,“1-2-3, Do Re Mi”被你喜爱的那天
That’s when your daddy rocked a Jacksons Afro in his hair.
The youngest of all his brothers But beared the most flare
So why oh why Do they try to discredit.
The man’s what you call a legend, we should never forget it.
那时候你爸爸也会搞一个杰克逊兄弟的非洲爆炸发型
兄弟们中最小的那个却是最耀眼的
为什么,为什么他们要污蔑他
那个男人才是真正的传奇,我们永远不该忘记
No matter what you say his heart stayed in a real truthful place.
He moon walked across the stage, introduced robotic breaks.
The smoothest ten year old to ever cover
A Smokey Robinson love song.
You can misinform this generation, but his genius lives on!
无论你说什么,他有一颗真实诚恳的心
他在台上舞动着太空步,创造机械舞
最牛X的十岁男孩最牛地翻唱了
那首斯摩奇.罗宾逊的爱情歌曲
你也许误会了这个年代,但他的天才永生!
Hook 2- (重复4次)
Trevor:
I remember, Jackson 5 And Remember The Time,
我记得杰克逊5兄弟乐队和《记得这时刻》
And seeing Billie Jean live On Motown 25.
也看到了摩城25周年晚会上的《比利·金》表演
And though your memory’s alive And your soul's in the sky.
虽然对你的记忆还在,你的灵魂已在天堂
I know I never ever Could truly say goodbye.
我知道我永远不能真的说再见
I danced in my room till I could no more.
我在房间里舞蹈直至精疲力竭
And moon walked in my socks over hard wood floors.
在硬地板上穿着袜子跳起太空步
As a child I went wild when your songs came on.
当我还是孩子,只要你的音乐奏起,我就会疯狂
So now I know I gotta sing to keep your spirituals strong.
所以现在我知道我得吟唱,来令你的精神弥坚
And now I’m watching music videos and know what to do.
Keep inspiring the youth cause you inspired me to.
And everything that I learned is everything that I’ll give,
Back to the kids so that black man lives.
现在我看着音乐录影并知道要做什么
继续激励年轻人就像你激励着我
我学到的所有东西我都会奉献出来
回赠给孩子们,让黑人延续
Cause when a black man dies, his people don’t cry.
They celebrate his soul as he ascends to the sky.
And no matter what they wanna say about our black king,
He’s still reigning over pop when we shine and sing.
因为当一个黑人去世,他的同胞并不哭泣
他们庆祝他的灵魂得以升至天堂
无论他们要对我们黑人的国王说什么
在我们成功和歌唱的时候,他仍然统领着流行音乐
(Hook 1)
Unity:
See back when you was Just an itty-bitty shorty,
You thought red leather jackets With zippers was real sporty.
You used to tell your mom “I wanna meet Michael Jackson!”
Wanted to be a star like him and rock all his fashion.
回顾过去,当你还是个小毛孩子
你觉得带拉链的红色皮夹克真酷
你曾告诉你妈妈“我想见迈克尔.杰克逊”
想成为他那样的巨星去引领潮流
So tell me why’d you go and throw his album in the trash can?
You used to look up to him and was inspired by his passion.
Is it because the media wanted to make children afraid of him
Because they saw with his money that he was giving aid to em?
那么告诉我为什么你要把他的专辑扔进垃圾箱?
你曾那么崇拜他并被他的激情鼓舞
是否因为媒体想让孩子们惧怕于他
因为他们只看到他的金钱并想得到
And they don’t want the children to love Michael Jackson
That would make it possible for the future generations
Of all ethnicities to love black men.
That’s part of one big Master plan man;
To try and keep the brother down When hes got the upper hand man.
他们不希望孩子们热爱迈克尔.杰克逊
因为那会使所有种族的子孙后代都热爱黑人
这是权势者的大阴谋
当我们的兄弟占上风时,就要让他垮台
But Michael always told em Beat it! ‘
Oh just leave me alone! Ya pressure, I dont need it.
Cause he’s unbreakable And invincible.
A yo, I think they should have made Michael Jackson A school principal.
但迈克尔始终告诉他们“走开”
或“别来烦我”,你们给的压力,我不需要
因为他“坚不可摧”并且“战无不胜”
嘿,我认为他们应该让迈克尔·杰克逊去当个校长
