Luv(sic) Hexalogy:以音乐编织的生命六重奏

专辑概述

Luv(sic) Hexalogy 是日本传奇音乐制作人 Nujabes(瀬葉淳)与日裔美籍说唱歌手 Shing02 耗时十余年(2000-2013)共同创作的六部曲概念专辑。其标题“Hexalogy”(六联剧)暗示希腊悲剧式的叙事结构,而“Luv(sic)”则是对“Love Sick”的谐音重构,既指向情感的病态纠缠,又暗藏“LOVE”与“SIC”(拉丁语“如此”)的哲学辩证。专辑以爵士嘻哈为基底,通过六篇章探讨人类情感的核心命题:自由、爱、和平、相遇、离别、重逢,最终形成一部跨越生死的音乐史诗。

专辑结构

Luv(sic) Hexalogy 由六部分组成,每部分都叫 “Luv(sic)”,但别被名字骗了,它们可不是简单的重复。每一部曲都像是一集电视剧,从爱情的萌芽到终结,再到重生,最后升华成某种哲学意义上的“永恒”。你可以把它当成一部音乐版的《爱情进化论》,只不过主角不是人类,而是音符和文字。


主题解析与歌词深度

Pt.1 自由

音乐与精神的解放宣言

  • 核心意象:钢琴循环乐段(Loop)如挣脱枷锁的舞步,Nujabes采样美国爵士钢琴家Bill Evans的《Peace Piece》,将古典爵士的优雅转化为嘻哈的自由律动。
  • 歌词聚焦
    Shing02以“音乐即自由”为命题,用“形而上的女神”(Metaphysical Goddess)隐喻艺术的救赎力量。诗句“No math could ever add up to what we feel”(没有数学能计量我们的感受)直指理性对感性的无力,呼应尼采“艺术是生命的最高使命”之理念。
  • 制作细节
    Nujabes刻意保留黑胶唱片的底噪,用“不完美”的物理痕迹对抗数字音乐的冰冷精确,实现技术时代的诗意抵抗。

Pt.2 爱

宿命论与自由意志的角力

  • 音乐语言
    巴西波萨诺瓦(Bossa Nova)节奏与日本筝(Koto)音色的融合,暗喻跨文化爱情的混沌美感。
  • 哲学悖论
    Shing02在歌词中构建二元对立:“Was our meeting chance or fate?”(我们的相遇是偶然还是宿命?)、“Love has no formula”(爱没有公式),以量子物理的“概率云”比喻情感的不可预测性。
  • 历史语境
    该曲创作于2001年“911事件”后,歌词“Through the madness, find the method”(在疯狂中寻找方法)成为动荡时代的希望注脚。

歌词

战火中的精神乌托邦

  • 文本考古
    Shing02引用日本俳句大师松尾芭蕉的“古池や蛙飛び込む水の音”(古池/蛙跃/水声响),将禅宗“瞬间永恒”观注入街头文化。歌词“War is obsolete if the mind is truly free”(若心灵真正自由,战争便已过时)呼应甘地非暴力思想。
  • 争议事件

Pt.4 相遇

时空交错的生命节点

  • 声音叙事
    萨克斯演奏家宇山宽人(Uyama Hiroto)的即兴独奏模拟心跳加速的生理反应,辅以模拟磁带延迟效果,构建“记忆褶皱”的听觉空间。
  • 诗歌结构
    Shing02采用日本连歌(Renga)的接力创作模式,用四季意象串联相遇场景:“Snowflakes in January, heart warm like February”(一月的雪花,二月般温暖的心)暗指三岛由纪夫《春雪》的物哀美学。
  • 创作遗痕
    此曲为Nujabes生前未完成之作,Shing02在镰仓录音室面对空荡的调音台完成演唱,磁带背景音中隐约可闻海浪潮声——既是地理坐标,亦是生死对话的隐喻。

Boy, I wonder if you still remember
男孩,还记得吗


Pt.5 离别

向死而生的记忆重构

  • 声音墓碑
    Nujabes使用故障音频(Glitch)模拟信号中断,象征生命的突然终结。钢琴采样自肖邦《离别曲》(Op.10 No.3),但将原曲的浪漫主义转化为存在主义追问。
  • 双重悼亡
    该曲最初为纪念患癌去世的B-Boxer Jeff创作,后因Nujabes车祸离世(2010年)被赋予双重意义。Shing02改写歌词:“Time’s a kite with cut strings”(时间如断线的风筝),将私人哀伤升华为普世性的存在焦虑。
  • 文化仪式
    全球乐迷每年2月26日(Nujabes忌日)自发组织“钢琴接力演奏”,用声音抵抗遗忘。

歌词

作曲:Nujabes
作词:Shing02

Till death do us apart, and it did
直到死亡将我们分离,它也确实做到了

Come sudden like clouds, and it hid my sun,
如同乌云突然出现,将我的阳光遮盖

My truth heavier than imagined, a lid die-cast in lead
真相沉重得超过想象,如同一个铸铅的盖子

On our lives we nourished
压在我们养育的生命之上

And the days we cherished as kids
还有那些如孩子般珍重的记忆?!

We let them whizz on by, but when I rewind
好吧,不说这些了,可当我闭上双眼

Your smile is the only thing that comes to mind
你的笑容是唯一的出现

Your smile is the only thing that shines
你的笑容是唯一的光线

In your last breath you told me, that you had to go
这太痛了,你对我说,你不得不去了

‘Cause it pained you so,
而这耗尽了你最后的呼吸

Oh I loved you so much so
噢,这太痛了

Was I selfish to hold on,
我太自私了只能紧紧抱住你的身体

And cling on to your body that hosts a soul
想要挽留你想要欺骗自己

That wanted to set free the eagle in a cage
笼中囚鹰乘风欲行

And you became eagerly what I wanted to be
同去,愿同去!

You the person to leave, I the person
送君千里,终须一别

To see off another best friend to land’s end
以土为界,阴阳错离

I watched grown men moan, and women weep
当你下沉至六尺之下

As you quietly descended six feet deep
我们静止着哭泣如同一幅画

But the spirit ascended before our wet eyes
你的灵魂却在我们的眼泪中升华

A gift from god, returned to sender
耶和华收回了这牺牲

Though I like to pretend that this never happened
可我还不愿承认,这一切的发生

I can turn around and see you laughing
幻想当我一转身会有你朝我大笑

But the fact is you could never practice
但事实上你却永远不可能

Getting blind-sided and eating the windshield
冒冒失失的或是自己吞食了那些挡雨刷板

Endless field of shards of glass
无数玻璃碎片飞行

This too shall pass, but reality bites, it says not so fast
让过去都过去吧,可现实撕咬,它说哪来这么顺利

First you must climb a Calvary of shattered hopes
首先你得爬上堆满颅骨的耶稣受难地

And then a mountain of prayers unheard
接着前往祈祷无听之山让你远离上帝

Till you reach that peak where you can see the dark abyss below
直到顶峰你就能看见其下的阿鼻地狱

Then you let me know if you have what it takes for a leap of faith
然后你让我知道那因信仰的一跳燃烧了你的生命

I had to say, hell no, heaven yes, but not yet
地狱,不!天堂,开启!

Please bless a forehead, cold in a bed
请亲吻那些病人的额头

Or alone on the road with nobody to hold
或是温暖那些行尸走肉

When the pouring rain is too much to bear
当倾盆大雨降落太难承受

It’s a reason to live for a seed that needs care
请理解,那是一颗干枯幼苗的所有


Till death do us apart, and it did
直到死亡将我们分离,它已将你的麦穗割去

Come sudden like clouds, and it hid my sun,
厄运如同黑云,将我的阳光遮蔽

Your truth heavier than imagined, a lid die-cast in lead
真实的重量超过想象,你的逝去一锤定音

On our lives we nourished
都是谎言么?那些生命的养育

And the days we cherished as kids
还有那些如孩子般珍重的记忆?!

We let them whizz on by, but when I rewind
好吧,不说这些了,可当我闭上双眼

Your smile is the only thing that comes to mind
你的笑容是唯一的出现

Your smile is the only thing that shines
你的笑容是唯一的光线

Now I hit this stage in honor of you,
现在我站在这舞台因你而获得荣耀

How’s the other side, I bet it’s a splendid view
那边可好,我打赌是无上广阔云霄

No more stress for rent, or to make ends
再没有透支压力,没有生活要讨

Collide in a cocktail, shame with envy
鸡毛狗血,锱铢必较

I can hide behind lens that block the UV
我躲在墨镜后想过滤那些争吵

Looking in from the outside the bowl is murky
可长久以往视线也不再清晰

The toll for the bridge is rising
因新造的桥而提高的税率

Weatherman says storm, city hall is burning
天气预报说是下雨,市政厅已烧成废墟

Same ol’ chaos, gotta shut my cell like I’m waiting to take off
一成不变的混乱,要起飞了我得关掉手机

On the runway, scoping out the window
在跑道上,往窗外望想努力看清

The moisture covers the sight though
水汽却阻挡着视野前进

Telling myself it’s just another day in the life of a starving artist
告诉我这不过是一个睁眼挨饿的艺术家新的一天


Trying to paint a dream you woke from,
尝试去画出你从梦中醒来

Chasing the departed
梦追逐那些急速逝去的碎片

We used to hang by the banks to see who can skip a stone the farthest
你我曾站在河岸边比试着谁的水漂打得最远

What I thought was a stream is now an ocean
幻想中的小溪已汇聚成海

No such thing as an extreme to show devotion
再没有什么能比登上你的船让我开心的了

To your craft, which I didn’t know the half
但船的一半却已在沉没

Tried to knock down your door and caught the backdraft
尝试推开你的门只有来自地狱的烈火

And a whiplash, all in reverse
和凶狠的鞭打,这一切都颠倒了!

Then I finally stood up and said, I reserve the right to serve anyone
我终于站起说,我们保留向所有人提供服务的权利

And on the same note you deserve the best of the most fun
我们同时声明,你理应得到这世上最好的快乐

By the way I got your letter, you said you were fed up
你给我寄信了,你说你烦透了

Well I second that and I reckon that you tried
我知道你尽力了,放心我随后就到

So I don’t place a blame that you took the fifth,
所以我不会责备你长久的沉默

And the first flight out of town, into the mist
还有那在光和雾中先我们一步离去的航班


Till death do us apart, and it did
直到死亡将我们分离,它已将你的麦穗割去

Come sudden like clouds, and it hid my sun,
厄运如同黑云,将我的阳光遮蔽

Your truth heavier than imagined, a lid die-cast in lead
真实的重量超过想象,你的逝去一锤定音

On our lives we nourished
都是谎言么?那些生命的养育

And the days we cherished as kids
还有那些如孩子般珍重的记忆?!

We let them whizz on by, but when I rewind
好吧,不说这些了,可当我闭上双眼

Your smile is the only thing that comes to mind
你的笑容是唯一的出现

Your smile is the only thing that shines
你的笑容是唯一的光线

Whether a tree lives to see the end of centuries
不管一棵树能活上几个世纪

Or a random hand picks it instantly
还是被谁连根拔起

Life is art, a miracle for all to see,
生命都是造物的艺术,一个奇迹值得我们所有人去相信

I must tell you that you lived beautifully
我必须告诉你,你的存在是如此的美丽


Grand Finale 重逢

永恒轮回的辩证终章

  • 音乐闭环
    全曲采用回文(Palindrome)结构,开场钢琴动机与Pt.1形成镜像对称,黑胶唱针声贯穿始终,构建“循环不朽”的听觉图腾。
  • 文本互文
    Shing02引用博尔赫斯《小径分岔的花园》:“Every parting is a form of reunion”(所有离别都是重逢的变体),将存在主义危机转化为尼采“永恒轮回”的积极诠释。
  • 视觉密码
    专辑封面由艺术家Fujiwara Hiroshi创作,六边形蜂巢结构暗喻生命互联,水彩晕染痕迹对应海德格尔“向死而生”的时间观。

歌词

作曲:Nujabes
作词:Shing02

I met a metaphorical girl in a metaphysical world
我在一个隐喻的世界里认识了一个形而上学的女孩

Now you got me day dreaming, sleeping in a curl

Her name on my tongue, a fresh flavor, yup

Whenever she popped up, put a swirl on my cone

I used to rap like I had some marbles in my mouth

What was left a shoestring budget on call
剩下的只有随时待命的有限预算

Then these new styles came along

呵呵,当然,这又是相当美味的

Crépe on the balcony, verbal alchemy
阳台上的丝绸,言语的炼金术

Pure magic when she touches me
她触摸我的时候,感觉真的就像纯净的魔法一般

I read that love is kind but it’s also blind of any style
我曾读到,爱是善良的,但爱也是一切形式的盲目

You profess, would you be my guest (you could be my guest)
你告诉我,你会成为我的客人吗?(你会成为我的客人)

Happiness is a hot potato that you can’t possess for long
幸福就像烫手的山芋,你并不能把那火热的畅快与美好占有很久

Just pass it on like a song
那就把幸福像歌一样传递下去吧


And I might look calm and collected at a glance
或许在你瞥我的那一眼中,我看起来平静又镇定

But I taste the void when I’m not connected
但在我无法与这个盛满活力的世界契合的时候,独自品尝着空虚

To the world kinetic, as opposed to static

Idle hands a workshop of a digital addict (a modern-day addict)

总结

艺术价值与遗产

Luv(sic) Hexalogy 超越了音乐专辑的范畴,成为21世纪东亚青年文化的精神图腾:

  1. 文化缝合:将日本物哀美学、非洲节奏革命、西方存在主义哲学熔铸为新的艺术语言。
  2. 技术诗学:黑胶采样与数字制作的对抗/融合,重新定义“复古未来主义”听觉范式。
  3. 生死对话:Nujabes的离世使未完成作品成为“缺憾美学”的当代范本,Shing02的续写行为本身即是对“重逢”主题的终极诠释。

聆听指南

  • 学术研究向
    对照日本战后“第三新人”文学(如安部公房《砂女》)阅读歌词,捕捉存在主义在东亚语境下的变奏。
  • 创作启发向
    关注Nujabes的“碎片采样”技法:如何将Bill Evans的爵士乐句解构为嘻哈节奏的原子单位。
  • 精神共鸣向
    在黄昏时分连续播放六部曲,体验从“自由”到“重逢”的生命循环,注意Pt.3中隐藏的海浪白噪音如何贯穿全辑,形成听觉潜意识。
