沉迷和醉心不足以形容IN LOVE ,瘋狂著迷不到個星期,買了他們新的專輯,整整聽了快2個月

他們拒絕過度的後製錄音,而流行的風格也沒有限定。所以我們可以看到精湛多變的現場演唱,豐富的聲線,讓人沉醉在Citizens!的音樂裡。
這是個魅力十足的英倫帥哥樂團。他們熱愛足球也認為時尚的重要性,有自己愛好的襪子顏色。

沒有眉毛(?)的俊美主唱Tom聲音可高低完美詮釋,還會偷Mike杯子裡的咖啡,然後被斯文吉他手Toms發現(Tom最後跟Toms說我把杯子歸回原位了);大家歐會偷/搶著Toms的襯衫穿;留著2撇鬍子的鼓手Mike根本就是卓別林;似乎很會喝酒的帥哥貝斯手Martyn;看起來安靜的Lawrence其實表演起來超嗨,悶騷+man 

忙碌的巡迴中,前陣子剛跑完澳洲和美國,緊接這是瑞士、德國、比利時、法國、日本等等等! 

 

*法國Kitsuné所簽下的樂團
*Franz Ferdinand主唱操刀!(個人很喜歡Franz Ferdinand的音樂)

Biography
London's electro-indie pop quintet Citizens! feature singer Tom Burke, keyboardist Lawrence Diamond, drummer Michael Evans, bassist Martyn Richmond, and guitarist Thom Rhoades. Previously, Burke, Diamond, and Evans were in the band Official Secrets Act together, but the group disbanded in 2009 soon after the release of its debut album, Understanding Electricity, that year. After taking some time off from making music, the trio reunited, brought in Rhoades and Richmond, and began recording demos. The band's sleekly catchy sound recalled both glam and Berlin-era Bowie, Sparks, Suede, and more contemporary acts like Hot Chip, and a demo version of one of its songs, "Let's Go All the Way," appeared on 2011's Kitsuné Maison, Vol. 11. Meanwhile, the group shopped its demos and eventually connected with Franz Ferdinand's Alex Kapranos, who recorded Citizens!' debut album in Scotland early that year. By August 2011, Citizens! were playing their first live shows, and Kitsuné released their official debut single, True Romance, that December. Two other singles, Reptile and Caroline, arrived before their first full-length, Here We Are, was released in May 2012 in the U.K. and Europe and in October in the U.S.(form iTunes)

我想Tom Burke是喜歡MJ的,他表演時會跳舞,也會跳Michael Jackson的月球漫步。在「Reptile」中有出現類似的舞步。也曾演唱過Michael Jackson的「Billie Jean」。
事實上當我聽了幾首Citizens!的歌之後,覺得主唱Tom Burke的歌聲給我的感覺就像Michael Jackson,陰柔細膩的聲線。

一切都從這首開始,

讓我都感到戀愛的氛圍了,使我心情真的很好

CITIZENS! - True Romance


Oh my love
what are we doing here
This little heart
Racing through the gates
Lighting up my cigarettes and counting out the change in our pockets
Tell me love
Will we ever know ourselves?

True romance
True romance

Oh my love
Keep your eyes on the road
I am asleep to the lights up ahead
What kind of minds are these that the gods and the television gave us
Hold me love until we disappear again

Here we are
True romance
Here we are
True romance
You hold it in your hands - true romance
Find More lyrics at www.sweetslyrics.com
I found a place to make a stand - true romance

Never knowing where you came from
Or where to go, true romance
Never knowing where you came from
Or where to go, true romance
And whatever was I thinking
WhenI let you go
Now tell me what was I thinking
When I let you go

True romance
True romance
Here we are, true romance
True romance
Here we are

我完全受不了他們可愛的模樣
CITIZENS! - Reptile


Reptile 
Reptile 

There are no wires connecting your heart
To you head and your hands
So where should you start?
There are no satellites guiding you home
So careful as you tread
In this carnival of souls
Don’t let your blood run cold

This is not a city that learns to forgive
This is the place where cold hearts live
Feeding off your friends and hang out late
Everybody wants it, but nobody waits
Don’t let your blood run cold

I’m turning a reptile
Sitting alone on park bench
Just like a reptile
Closer than I’ve ever dreamt
Reptile

I am not afraid of losing my mind
As long as it happens a day at a time
My skin will grow thick my eyes will grow bright
And my face will grow long
It’s a terrible sight
Don’t let your blood run cold

They say I’m just like a reptile

Sitting alone on a park bench
Just like a reptile
Closer than I have dreamt
See me sitting alone
Taking the sun
Out on the bench
So I’m turning into a reptile
Closer than I’ve ever dreamt
Reptile

So don’t let the coast fall in
When it gets a little alone
And don’t let your blood run cold

I’m turning a reptile
Sitting alone on park bench
Just like a reptile
Closer than I’ve ever dreamt
Reptile
Sitting alone on park bench
Just like a reptile
Closer than I’ve ever dreamt
See me sitting alone
Taking the sun
Out on the bench
So I’m turning into a reptile
Closer than I’ve ever dreamt
Reptile
Just like a reptile

Citizens! 'Reptile': Bands In Transit




Citizens! - "Caroline"


Caroline, you were a friend of mine
Long ago when to err, it was divine
You spoke your mind to all the guys
They never knew if what you said was true.
We started making sense
We never made any sense
We started making sense
We never made any sense

Caroline, all this once upon a time
You would ask if you could still come back to me
You run your mouth on crowded nights
When the moon was high and then all at once.

We started making sense
We never made any sense
We started making sense
We never made any sense
X 2

When you looked up it all fall in to silence
No one lets a girl like you get bored

We stopped making sense
We never made any sense
We started making sense
We never made any sense

We started making sense
We never made any sense
We started making sense
We never made any sense
We started making sense
We never made any sense

Oh, we stopped making sense.



Citizens! 'Let's Go All The Way': Bands In Transit




Citizens!- Nobody's Fool


Uh I done nothing … is my chance to say
That the bar won’t hold me
But the …sucks you anyway
I came on looking for some new
To call your home
I … means, I know, I know, I know

You better say something
To remember who you used to be
You better say something
To remember how it used to feel
To be used
Nobody’s fool and nobody’s friend
Uh, until your own rules
Break you in the end 

I hear you’re looking
For something new to fill your time
I got it open, so step, step
You better step the line

You better say something
To remember who you used to be
You better say something
To remember how it used to feel
To be used
Nobody’s fool and nobody’s friend
Uh, until your own rules
Break you in the end X 2

You’re nobody’s friend
And you save yourself, alone
And no one else.
