Pearl Jam-Evenflow(漂流)
Pearl Jam的《Even Flow》是他們首張專輯《Ten》的第二支單曲,
透過樂團特有的搖滾節奏,
講述了一個無家可歸者的生活故事。
這首歌不僅擁有難以忘懷的旋律,
還因其深刻的社會意識而受到許多人,
包括當時Soundgarden樂團鼓手Matt Cameron的喜愛。
Matt Cameron回憶說,
當他第一次聽到《Even Flow》的副歌時,
就覺得這太震撼了。
歌曲不僅旋律上極易上口,
還帶有一種雷澤普林式的巨大搖滾感。
儘管自從他加入樂隊以來已經演奏了數千次這首歌,
他認為《Even Flow》是Pearl Jam樂隊的標誌性歌曲。
即便它被反覆播放,
這首歌的基本元素仍然令人驚嘆。
這首歌不僅展現了Pearl Jam在音樂創作上的才華,
也凸顯了他們對社會邊緣人的關注和同情,
成為90年代搖滾音樂中不可多得的經典之作。
