First World Problems

Performed & Produced by：Ian Brown

There you go again with your first world problems
Where your living is easy
Messing up your mind the daily grind, gotta leave it all behind
Driving everybody crazy

There you go again with your first world problems
Where your living is easy
Messing up your mind the daily grind, gotta leave it all behind
Driving everybody crazy

I, I'm an early riser
Wake up let the sun go to my head
Hey, just hypnotize ya
Walking like your boots are made of lead

There you go again with your first world problems
Where your living is easy
Messing up your mind the daily grind, gotta leave it all behind
Driving everybody crazy

There you go again with your first world problems
Where your living is easy
Messing up your mind the daily grind, gotta leave it all behind
Driving everybody crazy

I, I'm an easy rider
Watch me as I ride and glide away
Say, still might surprise ya
Disappear come back another day

There you go again with your first world problems
Where your living is easy
Open up your mouth and making sounds, but there's nothing coming out
Crying like a new born baby

All is a distraction by design
A trick of smoke and mirrors to steal your mind
All is an illusion, mired in confusion
Codex Alimentarius

There you go again with your first world problems
Where your living is easy
Open up your mouth and making sounds, but there's nothing coming out
Driving everybody crazy

There you go again with your first world problems
Where your living is easy
Opening your mouth and making sounds, but there's nothing coming out
Driving everybody crazy
Driving everybody crazy
Driving everybody crazy
Hands and knees and oops-a-daisy
Driving everybody crazy
How do you get so f.. lazy?
Driving everybody crazy
Everybody crazy
Crazy

80年代末期，英国出现了一支名叫the stone roses的乐队。1989年乐队的第一张同名专辑发布，为英国乐坛带来了新的活力，该专辑获得了NME奖历史上的最高记录，同时获得“年度乐队”、“最佳新团”、“年度单曲”、“年度专辑”四项大奖，乐队遂成为了英国独立摇滚界的领袖，也影响了很多后来的音乐人，包括大名鼎鼎的oasis乐队。

想起来十多年前，同学给我推荐石玫瑰时的表情，至今历历在目。因为他也是Radiohead的忠实拥趸，所以听他抑制不住赞美的介绍之后，我第一时间找到所有能找到的资源，从此一发不可收拾。

跟大多数的乐队一样，石玫瑰再牛，也总是离不了解散、重组、再解散、再重组……的是是非非，关于乐队各个成员的故事也是粉丝们长久的饭后谈资。先不说石玫瑰，今天给大家推荐的歌曲，正是来自石玫瑰乐队的主唱Ian Brown——江湖人称“猴王”，不过他并不喜欢这个名字——最新的个人专辑。

Ian Brown

作为the stone roses的主唱，Ian Brown看似漫不经心、不羁的现场风格，让乐队的歌曲也带上了一丝丝迷幻的味道，但是又完全不同于60年代的迷幻风格；同时他也被称为90年代英国摇滚界最口无遮拦的两大音乐巨星之一（另一人则是来自Oasis的Noel Gallagher，两人还合作制作了Ian的个人专辑《Solarized》并取得巨大成功），虽然不清楚这个称呼从何而来，但也足以见得Ian耿直boy的的性格。

乐队解散之后，Ian也一直没有闲着，从1998发表首张个人专辑《Unfinished Monkey Business 》开始，至今已有七张个人专辑。在最新的专辑《ripples》中，除了有三首歌曲是和儿子们共同创作的，Ian承担了大部分作品的创作和制作，还演奏了整张专辑中能听到的大部分乐器。

Ian的单曲好听的太多，world is yours、stellify、set my baby free、还有gettin' high……今天推荐的歌名叫first world problems，原意指的是琐碎的、无关紧要的小事情。整首歌曲风很轻松，也没有太复杂深奥的歌词，即使没有了Squire、Reni的伴随，Ian也依旧在音乐的道路上坚持了那么久，就像mv中那么洒脱。

最后附上一张剧照，是2003年制作专辑期间，Ian在《哈利波特》里面小小客串了一把，没错，看的正是霍金的《时间简史》。
