KickerRecords 02 - OPM 《Heaven Is A Halfpipe》

01

一直都有人在微博,微信上问我们关于音乐的问题,索性开个新的栏目专门聊聊滑板相关的音乐。先从那些以滑板为主题创作的音乐开始吧。

今天第一期给大家推荐这首 《Heaven is a Halfpipe》(天堂是个大U池),这应该是我听过的第一首以滑板为主题创作的歌曲,但是我还在西安念书,一个来自芝加哥的在西安留学的滑板朋友推荐我听的。

这首歌是加州的乐队 OPM (www.opmden.com) 2000年发布的专辑 Menace to Sobriety 里的一首歌。乐队名字 OPM 的意识是 Open People's Mind (打开人们的思路)

这首歌在当时曾经红极一时,曾登顶 Billboard Modern Rock Tracks 排行榜首位,在5个国家的不同排行榜挤进前20,2001年英国最畅销单曲排名第33,总共销售了 265,000 份拷贝!

歌曲唱的是一个喜爱滑板的人在呼大了之后幻想天堂就是一个大U池,自己在那里滑板无忧无虑,没有警察来捣乱,可以做出很多现实中无法完成的招式,歌词里还提到了两个传奇滑手的名字 Christian Hosoi 和 Mike McGill。

歌词:
If I die before I wake
At least in heaven I can skate
Cause right now on earth I cant do jack
Without the man up on my back
Now heaven would be a dj
Spinning dub all night long
And heaven would just kickin back
With jesus packing my bong
And if you dont believe in Jesus and muhammad and budha too
And while the world is warring
Just sit back and laugh at you singing
If I die before I wake
At least in heaven I can skate
Cause right now on earth I cant do jack
Without the man up on my back
Now most people think of heaven
They see those pearly gates
But I looked a little closer
And theres a sign says "do not skate"
So if you wanna come to my heaven
Well we're all gonna have a ball
And everyone u know is welcome
Cause we got no gates or walls singing
If I die before I wake
At least in heaven I can skate
Cause right now on earth I cant do shit
Without the man fucking with it
And then I got to the gate
Pulled a list that I'd been calling fate
I'm sorry friend you cant come in
You gotta a list here that doesn't end
You're mad cause I smoke dope
You teaching any classes in how to cope
I'll find a place to rest my head
I rather be alone now that I'm dead
Like chirstian hossoi way back in 87
We'll be busting Christ air's until we get to heaven
Think I really care that I miss my biology
Got my education in stale fishology
With all your rules you got to chill
I'm gonna twist out Mike McGill
I'm gonna twist out cause I got the skillz
I'm gonna twist out cause I got the skillz got the skillz got the skillz
Heaven is a halfpipe
Heaven is a halfpipe
If I die before I wake
At least in heaven I can skate
Cause right now on earth I cant do jack
Without the man up on my back
If I die before I wake
At least in heaven I can skate
Cause right now on earth I cant do shit
Without the man fucking with it
If I die before I wake
At least in heaven I can skate
Cause right now on earth I cant do shit
Without the man fucking with it
