如果你是一位深紫乐队(Deep Purple)的乐迷,那么1993年的专辑《The Battle Rages On...》一定在你心中占有特殊的地位。这不仅是乐队标记性的第二代(Mark II)阵容——Blackmore、Gillan、Glover、Lord和Paice——合作的最后一张录音室专辑,更是硬摇滚黄金时代的一声回响。而在专辑中,《Solitaire》这首歌以其繁重的节奏和深刻的孤独感脱颖而出。
《Solitaire》的名字直译为“扑克接龙”或“独居者”。歌曲描绘了一种深切的疏离感与孤独。随着Ritchie Blackmore那标记性的、略带古典色彩的硬摇滚吉他谱写出压抑而有力的动机,Ian Gillan用他那富有侵略性却又饱含沧桑的嗓音,唱出了一个迷失在自我世界中、与周围格格不入的灵魂。“Door, don't close the door / I want to feel the cold”,歌词中充斥了这种对痛苦的清醒认知,以及在孤独中挣扎的矛盾心理。
本首歌曲的吉他部分充分展现了Blackmore的编曲功底。对于想要练习这首《Solitaire》吉他乐谱的朋友,以下几个要点需要特别注意:
