还记得唱Yellow的酷玩乐队（Coldplay）吗？他们的最新专辑《X&Y》将于今年6月7日在英国发行！专辑封面如下：



目前他们新专辑里推出的第一首单曲“声音的速度”（Speed of Sound）已经打入美国单曲榜第８名。这个成绩让Coldplay成为继披头士（The Beatles）之后，第二个有单曲打入美国单曲榜前十名的英国男子乐队。历史上除了Coldplay以外，一共只有其他２个英国组合在美国单曲榜上取得过前十的成绩。披头士（The Beatles）１９６８年凭着HeyH Jude打入该榜前十，而１９９７年The Spice Girls的“说你会在那里”（Say You'll Be There）在该榜上取得第５名的成绩。

自从2002年的那张A Rush of Blood To The Head以来，Coldplay的音乐生涯便是平步青云、一路直上。这有些滑稽，但这支英国团体的专辑全球销量一路飙升并超过了1000万张，这个里程碑似的成绩将他们送到了像U2或是Dave Mathews Band这样超级团体的高度。

有趣的是，备受瞩目的这支英国四人乐团的第三张专辑X&Y，听起来就像是一张关于如何在战场上站稳脚跟的唱片。强而有力的开场曲"Square One"中，Chris主张人和人尽管存在地位的差异，但他们从根本上是一样的，因为"你所希望的，只是自己说的话能够让人听到"；在"Fix You"中，他又仿佛是在同缺憾和错失的运气做着斗争："当你爱上一个人，随后你的爱情却走向浪费与挥霍，还有比这个更糟糕的事情吗"。同时，专辑中的首支单曲，鲜明活泼的"Speed of Sound"却是关于面对着狗仔队闪光灯泡时如何保持情绪和内心的一致。

从音乐性的角度讲，这张唱片中的Coldplay向人们展示了自己以前从未有过的进取精神，从"Talk"中Kraftwerk似的电子节拍，到"Swallowed In The Sea"中深受Pogues影响的曲风，整张专辑涉猎了丰富的音乐元素，它把那些将自己比作是轻型Radiohead的言论放在一边，并向人们传递出一种厚重迷人、简约却又壮观的Coldplay之声。

Coldplay - "Speed Of Sound"

How long before I get in?
Before it starts, before I begin?
How long before you decide?
Before I know what it feels like?
Where to, where do I go?
If you never try, then you'll never know.
How long do I have to climb,
Up on the side of this mountain of mine?

Look up, I look up at night,
Planets are moving at the speed of light.
Climb up, up in the trees,
every chance that you get,
is a chance you seize.
How long am I gonna’ stand,
with my head stuck under the sand?
I’ll start before I can stop,
before I see things the right way up.

And all that noise, all that sound,
all those places I got found.
And birds go flying at the speed of sound,
to show you how it all began.
Birds came flying from the underground,
if you could see it then you'd understand…

Ideas that you'll never find,
all the inventors could never design.
The buildings that you put up,
Japan and China all lit up.
A sign that I couldn't read,
or a light that I couldn't see,
some things you have to believe,
but others are puzzles, puzzling me.

And all that noise, all that sound,
all those places I got found.
And birds go flying at the speed of sound,
to show you how it all began.
Birds came flying from the underground,
if you could see it then you'd understand,
Oh when you see it then you'll understand…

All those signs, I knew what they meant.
Somethings you can invent.
Some get made, and some get sent,
Ooh…
Birds go flying at the speed of sound,
to show you how it all began.
Birds came flying from the underground,
if you could see it then you'd understand,
oh, when you see it then you'll understand…
