Maximilian Hecker, 1977年生于德国的Heidenheim,从小就是披头士的歌迷,学习录音,上过打击乐和钢琴课,在学校乐团任职的他,从1994年起用吉他创作到2000年开始用钢琴创作.的确,他的前两张专集在带给我震撼的同时,更是惊讶这位来自德国的乐手,是如何摆脱严谨僵硬的民族性,将音乐做的如此伤感温柔.然而, Hecker用不着使用晦涩的语言和复杂的配器来表达,忧郁敏感又不乏神经质的唱腔和恰到好处的钢琴提琴伴奏已经足够,瞬间爆发的噪音和吉他失真已经足够,那是美丽的黑洞,我们早已在里面.
2001年,他在Kitty-Yo发表了第一张正式专辑《Infinite Love Song》,也就是他之前复制了30张寄给唱片公司的小样,风格是典型的Indie Pop,吉他几乎都是民谣似的分解和弦,但由于混音时把贝斯的音色音量处理得当,使得整体感觉没有任何突兀和单薄,而是正合适的丰满。
这个冬天还没有任何离开的迹象.Hecker又推出了这张《Lady Sleep》.仿佛在透明屋子里唱歌.一夜雪花未尽,肆无忌惮.夜晚风声将尽,捧一杯清水陷在沙发里,还可以听到这个男人的声音远远走来,如刚刚哭过的孩子,睫毛湿润,表情安静,影子忧伤疏离.我要背身睡去,却感觉到就在身边,有人黑暗里扭开一盏柔和的灯,靠着我自言自语.“ You’re leaving me thouands of times,but you don’t know,You’re healing me with your touch, but you don’t know. Help me,help me……”
I Am Falling Now-- lyrics
There is no ending to this life
That I've to live with endless sighs
Oh, can't you see I'm falling now?
Oh, could you hear these words somehow
But I can see the sadness in your eyes
And I can see the sadness in your smile
Hold me now
Heal my wounds
Hold me like you did
There is no ending to this life
That I've to live with endless sighs
And all I know is that my head is gone
And I am falling now
(You don't miss me
You don't love me anymore
You don't need me)
