Listen: Nilüfer Yanya - Thanks 4 Nothing


這首歌一開始以偏電子的鼓組與吉他帶出有著Bossa Nova感的節奏,好像該令人感到輕鬆,但整體的聲響卻都偏冰冷。副歌前半段先把節奏收掉,後半段再把節奏帶回來,但這次是真實鼓組的聲響,充滿空間感,但應該沒有太多壓縮,演奏的節奏是常用於準備推砌出較高情緒的慣用打法,但最後卻是收回原狀。

有趣的編曲,符合歌詞,也充分表達出那種處理與前任之間的情感糾結的情緒。有種將要被遠遠的直拳正中,卻在眼前消失了的感覺,空剩故作輕盈的姿態與一身冷汗。

但其實我最喜歡的歌詞“‘Cause I don’t want to make things better. Thanks for nothing lasts forever ”,雖然在歌中可以理解成一種與前任的認真訣別,但是單看這句話真是厭世的相當有剩,好想用這句話寫一首歌啊。

This song starts with electronic drum and guitar to bring out a rhythm with bossa nova feel, which (maybe) should make me feel relax, but the whole sound make me feels cold. The chorus begins with lower energy without the drum, but brings it back in the later part with spacious, acoustic, barely compressed sounding drum. The rhythm used in this part often used when the music is trying to build up the energy, but it just lets the energy go and goes back to verse.

Really interesting arrangement, which aligned with the lyrics and also delivered the emotion trying to deal with one’s ex. It feels like you are going to be fitted by a far far straight punch, but it just disappears in front of your eyes, leaving you ,who tried to be calm, in a cold sweat. 

Actually, I like the lyric”Cause I don’t want to make things better. Thanks for nothing lasts forever ” most. Although it can be interpret as a serious abandon to their relationship, it is so misanthropic to look alone. Hope someday I can use these words to write a song.
