迷你噪音《死谷爛谷》CD 發表會 // mininoise "Dead Valley" CD Launch Party

「迷你噪音」是香港一隊草根民謠樂隊，2007年組成，2008年發表了第一張CD《多麼美好》，今年6月底發表的第二張CD名為《死谷爛谷》。這次CD發表會並不能算是一個音樂會，是一個可以輕輕鬆鬆，玩玩聊聊的派對吧，但當然，我們還是會忍不住手，要玩玩音樂唱唱歌的。你要來唱嗎？

'mininoise' is a grassroot-folk band in Hong Kong. Formed in 2007, their first CD "How Wonderful Life Is" was released in 2008. This 2nd CD is named "Dead Valley".

CD2-15-Train

Train
(Music & Lyric: simple-person)

It’s a dream too old.
It’s a proverb too much.
It’s a story mused with no end.
Will it echo in your heart?

I love the song shouted wild by ...
... the running train under the moonlight,
in the field of youth,
for the utopia dreamed alive,
the dream you’ve kept deep ...
... since that time, that day, that year.

The moon asked the train that night,
“Does the wilderness ever know your song?”
Lonesome fight in this search ...
... for the unseen utopia,
which dream is the heartly urged?

CD2-11-End or Beginning

End or Beginning
(Music: simple-person; Lyric: adapted from a poem, "End or Beginning", by Bei Dao)

I am standing here
To substitute another being killed
There’s no other choices
On where I will be falling
There will stand another one

Over my shoulder, is the wind
Over the wind, the twinkling stars

Perhaps one day
The sun turned into a shriveled wreath ...
... laying on every tomb of the unyielding fighters
The tombs that are growing like a forest

The crows, the fragments of tonight
A profusion of darkness

CD2-10-The Fall

The Fall
(Music & lyric: Edmund LEUNG)

Tear down the houses, Tear down the walls
Climb down from fences, The empire will fall

Surrender to voices, Surrender to the void
Climb down from fences, The empire will fall

CD2-07-Dead Valley

Dead Valley
(Music & Lyric: simple-person)

How many childhood dreams
Faded and forgotten
Slowly, silently, I’ve abided to live on

Pretending I’m free
Got some complaints, but, I let it go
Offering my bloomy youth, I’ve abided

I love you, obsessed with the woods
Collecting verses, in the mist and rain
Cultivating flowers in the dead valley

How many times, you turn around in a hush
In the wind, darkness and cold, you smile and say,
“The best ever scenery is this dead valley!”

CD2-06-Pirate Song

Pirate Song
(Music & Lyric: WONG Yan-kwai; Intro: In C by T. Riley)

Hill not turning; wave turn
Sea not turning; land turn
Half the Earth behind the ship, half the Earth ahead

Water not turning, land turn
Hill not turning, road turn
Five dumpy at the stern, six or seven under the cabin

Fish not turning, wave turn
Wind not turning, land turn
Heart not turning, land turn
Bowl not turning, rice turn
The bow smashing the wave, half above and half beneath

CD2-05-Garden

Garden
(Music & Lyric: simple-person)

Will the rain drip again from my roof,
Will fragrance of flowers fly again through my window,
Will I see the sunset shine again on your face …
… while you sit in front of the hut

I search for your smiles in the farm,
And search for your chants that you’ve been persisting,
And the tears that tell your heart and water the roselle days.

Our hands clasped tightly,
Defending the gentleness of this deserted garden,
Until the time when we are torn apart,
Obstinacy stays on our faces.
