subtle是一个乐队名。

基本介绍

这支6人乐队里有键盘、吉他、打击乐、木管乐器、大提琴、口琴甚至还有自鸣筝，玩的竟然是说唱，可以想像旧金山这支实验乐队是多么“另类”。

这是由唱片店员工与一些独立乐手组成的Subtle的专辑，融合了说唱、电子与摇滚，创造了一种既古怪又古怪地和谐的音乐风格。几乎无法预测他们音乐的下一步会是什么，丰富的音乐元素让人想起1970年代后期学院派艺术摇滚全盛时无所不能的创造力，而说唱与黑人味十足的演唱又将带到1980年代生猛的穷街陋巷，富有影像感采样与低保真打击乐则让人欢欣鼓舞地听到1990年代独立音乐之声，最厉害的还是当这一切糅合在一起的时候，你会在某种混沌的糊涂之中感觉到美妙。

The Mercury Craze

歌手：Subtle/n

所属专辑：For Hero: For Fool

歌词：

When last we left him

Our hero yes was recently diagnosed as being last haver/n

Of a most unusual sort of blood/n

Quite surprised by the news himself/n

(and still the genuinely unlucky man)/n

He now wields his one and only body bag/n

Of this, his now very rare blood

And so, we find him seated not starved but smalled/n

Before a really rather serious spread/n

His evening's eats have been copped and bequeathed/n

By the richest of rich who's only child is especially sick/n

Their fair scared parent eyes reading weak/n

Yelling help across some 200 feet of set table/n

Yours far full of edge perfectly still like straight teeth/n

It seems so few would know just what to do as the new and improved lucky you/n

To be courted and prized as someone else's very own personal blood mine/n

I mean What if your o-so unique blood… then became the latest craze/n

Would the dear disparate world not get the wrong/right idea

You now owning all your ever so happening blood/n

You sole proprietor of all that priceless red wet/n

What if.

What if your blood were then all the rage/n

What then/n

What if your blood weren't you

What would you give/n

In order to get your hands/n

On the latest most luxurious blood/n

To have yours flushed completely/n

And replaced with that of a nice bright white/n

College boy or very viral multi-millionaire widow/n

Would you later pay extra/n

For your old red tide to be glassed/n

Sat down, room warm beside your occupied hospital bed/n

So that when you were well /n

And in your right mind of redwets/n

And new whites. You just might/n

Indeed, spill your own & old blood/n

Can't you hear your mercury just/n

Ringing with the jingles already/n

Is there a terrible time to your life that never seems to let up/n

Is it a terrible time of the great nothing much/n

What say you leave your past life's luck in the dust.

And let the miracle most of modern day at your blood
