《Smoke on the Water》不仅是Deep Purple(深紫乐队)最有名的歌曲,而且也是最著名的摇滚歌曲之一。简单而抓耳的吉他节奏,令其深受乐迷喜爱。
在2004年,滚石杂志评出的“历史上最伟大的500首歌曲”中,《Smoke on the Water》位列第434位。
而歌曲来源于乐队经历的一场真实事故:
话说在发行《Fireball》之后,深紫获得了巨大的成功,他们成为了英国最火热的乐队之一。而由于之前两张专辑都是在巡演过程中录制的,他们觉得现场演出的效果,比在录音室里要来得好。于是,乐队打算租用一个空旷的,类似舞台的场地来录制新专辑。
1971年12月,乐队最终选定了瑞士的蒙特勒赌场,还租用了滚石乐队的移动录音室。就在演出歌曲《King Kong》的时候,一个观众用信号枪,对着木质的屋顶开枪,随即点燃了屋顶。火越烧越大,场面也开始变得混乱。
由于人群拥挤,很多观众都遭到推耸,乐队主唱Frank Zappa也因此受伤,坐了整整一年的轮椅。就在大家成功逃出后不久,火焰窜到了中央供暖系统,并引起大爆炸,整个赌场都被炸成废墟。万幸的是,虽然有很多轻伤的伤员,但没有人因火灾离世。
后来的一天,刚起床的贝斯手Roger Glover毫无征兆地大声喊了一句“Smoke on the water!”。而主唱Ian Gilan听到这句话,突然来了灵感,于是把事故的经历写成了歌词,这就是后来的《Smoke on the Water》。
Smoke on the Water歌词:
We all came out to Montreux
On the lake Geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile
We didn't have much time
Frank Zappa and the Mothers
Were at the best place around
But some stupid with a flare gun
Burned the place to the ground
Smoke on the water fire in the sky
Smoke on the water
They burned down the gambling house
It died with an awful sound
Funky Claude was running in and out
Pulling kids out the ground
When it all was over
We had to find another place
But Swiss time was running out
It seemed that we would lose the race
Smoke on the water fire in the sky
Smoke on the water
We ended up at the Grand Hotel
It was empty cold and bare
But with the rolling truck
Stones thing just outside
Making our music there
With a few red lights and a few old beds
We make a place to sweat
No matter what we get out of this
I know I know we'll never forget
Smoke on the water fire in the sky
Smoke on the water
