[好聽的] Radical Face - Welcome Home

The Blacklist 大概是這季最釣我胃口的影集，
尤其是裡面的插曲，令人回味不已。

每每聽到好歌，
馬上進入SOP...
暫停-> 抄歌詞-> Google -> 納入youtube收藏清單
國外的劇迷很貼心，
甚至跑出 the blacklist soundtrack歌單... (完全就符合我的需求阿)

這首Welcome Home，出自Radical Face 的專輯<Ghost>。
編曲屬於本人喜愛的民謠曲風，
另外再搭配類似佛朗明哥的擊掌節奏，
很像飄泊不定的詩人在呢喃吟唱。
但歌詞間透露出旅人歷經滄桑，
急於擺脫夢靨，返回故鄉，
投入熟悉的環境，
尤其曲子中末段開始加重的吉他跟鋼琴，
彷彿在強調旅人已自過去的傷痛中走出。

回到the blacklist，
Welcome Home出現的時間點恰好為Liz好不容易結束任務，
在電話中發現已來不及見養父最後一面，
算是與詞所表達的情境恰恰相反。
但相同的是，
詞中的旅人跟Liz一樣，
已經歷太多，
渴望家人或舒適圈的懷抱。

<歌詞 lyrics>
Radical Face - Welcome Home

Sleep don't visit, so I choke on sun
And the days blur into one
And the backs of my eyes hum with things I've never done

Sheets are swaying from an old clothesline
Like a row of captured ghosts over old dead grass
Was never much but we made the most
Welcome home

Ships are launching from my chest
Some have names but most do not
If you find one, please let me know what piece I've lost

Peel the scars from off my back
I don't need them anymore
You can throw them out or keep them in your mason jars
I've come home

All my nightmares escaped my head
Bar the door, please don't let them in
You were never supposed to leave
Now my head's splitting at the seams
And I don't know if I can

Here, beneath my lungs, I feel your thumbs press into my skin again
