Matzka



Matzka & De Hot


很酷的樂手  嗓音跟唱腔都相當獨特  加上用排灣族母語演唱   非常特殊!
音樂性相當強烈  被分類為雷鬼樂團  我倒覺得在雷鬼曲風之上 
更有一種從排灣族母語裡面飄出來的節奏和韻味


很powerful的樂手  具有某種世界性
是一種台灣原生向世界開放而達到無國界的良好範例
這就是台灣的聲音
這類樂手
會越來越多


希望台灣的藝術家們可以加油趕上
不要再泥淖在島內的歷史恩仇錄當中自相毀滅


流行音樂果然是當代走在尖端的藝術表現之一!


下面放幾首youtube
大家隨意切ㄎㄧ澇看看~~:

1 borboun, 1 scotch, 1 beer





One borboun One scotch One beer


Wanna tell you a story,


About the house-man blues 
I come home one Friday, 
Had to tell the landlady I'd-a lost my job 
She said that don't confront me, 
Long as I get my money next Friday 
Now next Friday come I didn't get the rent, 
And out the door I went 

So I goes to the landlady, 
I said, "You let me slide?" 
I'll have the rent for you in a month. 
Next I don't know 
So said let me slide it on you know people, 
I notice when I come home in the evening 
She ain't got nothing nice to say to me, 
But for five year she was so nice 
Loh' she was lovy-dovy, 
I come home one particular evening 
The landlady said, "You got the rent money yet?", 
I said, "No, can't find no job" 
Therefore I ain't got no money to pay the rent 
She said "I don't believe you're tryin' to find no job" 
Said "I seen you today you was standin' on a corner, 
Leaning up against a post" 
I said "But I'm tired, I've been walkin' all day" 
She said "That don't confront me, 
Long as I get my money next Friday" 
Now next Friday come I didn't have the rent, 
And out the door I went 

So I go down the streets, 
Down to my good friend's house 
I said "Look man I'm outdoors you know, 
Can I stay with you maybe a couple days?" 
He said "Let me go and ask my wife" 
He come out of the house, 
I could see it in his face 
I know that was no 
He said "I don't know man, ah she kinda funny, you know" 
I said "I know, everybody funny, now you funny too" 
So I go back home 
I tell the landlady I got a job, I'm gonna pay the rent 
She said "Yeah?" I said "Oh yeah" 
And then she was so nice, 
Loh' she was lovy-dovy 
So I go in my room, pack up my things and I go, 
I slip on out the back door and down the streets I go 
She a-howlin' about the front rent, she'll be lucky to get any back rent,
She ain't gonna get none of it 
So I stop in the local bar you know people, 
I go to the bar, I ring my coat, I call the bartender 
Said "Look man, come down here", he got down there 
So what you want? 

One bourbon, one scotch, one beer 
Well I ain't seen my baby since I don't know when, 
I've been drinking bourbon, whiskey, scotch and gin 
Gonna get high man I'm gonna get loose, 
Need me a triple shot of that juice 
Gonna get drunk don't you have no fear 
I want one bourbon, one scotch and one beer 
One bourbon, one scotch, one beer 

But I'm sitting now at the bar, 
I'm getting drunk, I'm feelin' mellow 
I'm drinkin' bourbon, I'm drinkin' scotch, I'm drinkin' beer 
Looked down the bar, here come the bartender 
I said "Look man, come down here" 
So what you want? 

One bourbon, one scotch, one beer 
No I ain't seen my baby since the night before last, 
Gotta get a drink man I'm gonna get gassed 
Gonna get high man I ain't had enough, 
Need me a triple shot of that stuff 
Gonna get drunk won't you listen right here, 
I want one bourbon, one shot and one beer 
One bourbon, one scotch, one beer 

Now by this time I'm plenty high, 
You know when your mouth a-getting dry you're plenty high 
Looked down the bar I say to my bartender 
I said "Look man, come down here", he got down there 
So what you want this time? 
I said "Look man, a-what time is it?" 
He said "The clock on the wall say three o'clock 
Last call for alcohol, so what you need?" 

One bourbon, one scotch, one beer 
No I ain't seen my baby since a nigh' and a week, 
Gotta get drunk man till I can't even speak 
Gonna get high man listen to me, 
One drink ain't enough Jack you better make it three 
I wanna get drunk I'm gonna make it real clear, 
I want one bourbon, one scotch and one beer 
One bourbon, one scotch, one beer 




Highway 49


I'm gonna get up in the mornin', 
Gonna hit that Highway 49
I'm gonna get up in the mornin',
Gonna hit that Highway 49
I been lookin' for my Elvonnie(?), 
That sweet woman's steady on my mind

First I'm gonna stop by whiskey store,
Pick me up a jug o'wine
First I'm gonna stop by the whiskey store,
Pick me up a six-pack o'wine
I been lookin' for my baby, 
She's restin' on my weary mind

Yeah, it'll be soon in the mornin'
When I go rollin' into Jacksontown, downtown
It'll be soon in the mornin'
When I go rollin' into Jackson, Mississippi town
I been lookin' for my baby, 
The police said she can't be found

Don't tell me that
I'm gonna get up in the mornin', 
Gonna hit that Highway 49
I'm gonna get up in the mornin',
Gonna hit that Highway 49
I'm gonna dust my blues, peoples,
Leave this raggedy-ass town behind

L. A. Woman



COOL BAND !


 



Well, I just got into town about an hour ago

Took a look around, see which way the wind blow

With a little girl in a Hollywood bungalow

Are you a lucky little lady in The City of Light

Or just another lost angel...City of Night

City of Night, City of Night, City of Night, woo, c'mon

L.A. Woman, L.A. Woman

L.A. Woman Sunday afternoon

L.A. Woman Sunday afternoon

L.A. Woman Sunday afternoon

Drive thru your suburbs

Into your blues, into your blues, yeah

Into your blue-blue Blues

Into your blues, ohh, yeah

I see your hair is burnin'

Hills are filled with fire

If they say I never loved you

You know they are a liar

Drivin' down your freeways

Midnite alleys roam

Cops in cars, the topless bars

Never saw a woman

So alone, so alone

So alone, so alone

Motel Money Murder Madness

Let's change the mood from glad to sadness

Mr. Mojo Risin', Mr. Mojo Risin'

Mr. Mojo Risin', Mr. Mojo Risin'

Got to keep on risin'

Mr. Mojo Risin', Mr. Mojo Risin'

Mojo Risin', gotta Mojo Risin'

Mr. Mojo Risin', gotta keep on risin'

Woah, ohh yeah

Well, I just got into town about an hour ago

Took a look around, see which way the wind blow

With a little girl in a Hollywood bungalow

Oh you were like a little lady in The City of Lights

Or just another lost angel...City of Night

City of Night, City of Night, City of Night, woah, c'mon

L.A. Woman, L.A. Woman

One Love, One Heart

Let's get together and feel all right

Hear the children crying (One Love)

Hear the children crying (One Heart)

Sayin' give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right

Sayin' let's get together and feel all right



Let them all pass all their dirty remarks (One Love)

There is one question I'd really like to ask (One Heart)

Is there a place for the hopeless sinner

Who has hurt all mankind just to save his own?

Believe me



One Love, One Heart

Let's get together and feel all right

As it was in the beginning (One Love)

So shall it be in the end (One Heart)

Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right

One more thing



Let's get together to fight this Holy Armageddon (One Love)

So when the Man comes there will be no no doom (One Song)

Have pity on those whose chances grove thinner

There ain't no hiding place from the Father of Creation



Sayin' One Love, One Heart

Let's get together and feel all right

I'm pleading to mankind (One Love)

Oh Lord (One Heart)



Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right

Let's get together and feel all right

Gallant Freddie..



 




Is this the real life-
Is this just fantasy-
Caught in a landslide-
No escape from reality-
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see-
Im just a poor boy,i need no sympathy-
Because Im easy come,easy go,
A little high,little low,
Anyway the wind blows,doesnt really matter to me,
To me

Mama,just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head,
Pulled my trigger,now hes dead,
Mama,life had just begun,
But now Ive gone and thrown it all away-
Mama ooo,
Didnt mean to make you cry-
If Im not back again this time tomorrow-
Carry on,carry on,as if nothing really matters-

Too late,my time has come,
Sends shivers down my spine-
Bodys aching all the time,
Goodbye everybody-Ive got to go-
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth-
Mama ooo- (any way the wind blows)
I dont want to die,
I sometimes wish Id never been born at all-

I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouche,scaramouche will you do the fandango-
Thunderbolt and lightning-very very frightening me-
Galileo,galileo,
Galileo galileo
Galileo figaro-magnifico-
But Im just a poor boy and nobody loves me-
Hes just a poor boy from a poor family-
Spare him his life from this monstrosity-
Easy come easy go-,will you let me go-
Bismillah! no-,we will not let you go-let him go-
Bismillah! we will not let you go-let him go
Bismillah! we will not let you go-let me go
Will not let you go-let me go
Will not let you go let me go
No,no,no,no,no,no,no-
Mama mia,mama mia,mama mia let me go-
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me,for me,for me-

So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye-
So you think you can love me and leave me to die-
Oh baby-cant do this to me baby-
Just gotta get out-just gotta get right outta here-

Nothing really matters,
Anyone can see,
Nothing really matters-,nothing really matters to me,

Any way the wind blows....

Say your prayers little one Dont forget, my son To include everyone Tuck you in, warm within Keep you free from sin Till the sandman he comes Sleep with one eye open Gripping your pillow tight Exit light Enter night Take my hand Off to never never land Somethings wrong, shut the light Heavy thoughts tonight And they arent of snow white Dreams of war, dreams of liars Dreams of dragons fire And of things that will bite Sleep with one eye open Gripping your pillow tight Exit light Enter night Take my hand Off to never never land Now I lay me down to sleep Pray the lord my soul to keep If I die before I wake Pray the lord my soul to take Hush little baby, dont say a word And never mind that noise you heard Its just the beast under your bed, In your closet, in your head Exit light Enter night Grain of sand Exit light Enter night Take my hand Were off to never never land

As I was a goin' over the far famed Kerry mountains I met with captain Farrell and his money he was counting I first produced my pistol and I then produced my rapier Saying "Stand and deliver" for he were a bold deceiver


Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da Wack fall the daddy-o, wack fall the daddy-o There's whiskey in the jar


I counted out his money and it made a pretty penny I put it in me pocket and I took it home to Jenny She sighed and she swore that she never would deceive me But the devil take the women for they never can be easy


I went up to my chamber, all for to take a slumber I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure 't was no wonder But Jenny blew me charges and she filled them up with water Then sent for captain Farrell to be ready for the slaughter


't was early in the morning, just before I rose to travel Up comes a band of footmen and likewise captain Farrell I first produced me pistol for she stole away me rapier I couldn't shoot the water, so a prisoner I was taken


Now there's some take delight in the carriages a rolling and others take delight in the hurling and the bowling but I take delight in the juice of the barley and courting pretty fair maids in the morning bright and early


If anyone can aid me 't is my brother in the army If I can find his station in Cork or in Killarney And if he'll go with me, we'll go rovin' through Killkenny And I'm sure he'll treat me better than my own a-sporting Jenny


 



Tonight theres gonna be a jailbreak Somewhere in this town See me and the boys we dont like it So were getting up and going down Hiding low looking right to left If you see us coming I think its best To move away do you hear what I say From under my breath Tonight theres gonna be a jailbreak Somewhere in the town Tonight theres gonna be a jailbreak So dont you be around Dont you be around Tonight theres gonna be trouble Some of us wont survive See the boys and me mean business Bustin out dead or alive I can hear the hound dogs on my trail All hell breaks loose, alarm and sirens wail Like the game if you lose Go to jail Tonight theres gonna be a jailbreak Somewhere in the town Tonight theres gonna be a jailbreak So dont you be around Tonight theres gonna trouble Im gonna find myself in Tonight theres gonna be a jailbreak So woman stay with a friend You know its safer Breakout! Tonight theres gonna be a breakout Into the city zones Dont you dare to try and stop us No one could for long Searchlight on my trail Tonights the night all systems fail Hey you good lookin female Come here! Tonight theres gonna be a jailbreak Somewhere in the town Tonight theres gonna be a jailbreak So dont you be around Tonight theres gonna be trouble Im gonna find myself in Tonight theres gonna be trouble So woman stay with a friend








There was a friend of mine on murder And the judges gavel fell Jury found him guilty Gave him sixteen years in hell He said I aint spending my life here I aint living alone Aint breaking no rocks on the chain gang Im breakin out and headin home Gonna make a jailbreak And Im lookin towards the sky Im gonna make a jailbreak Oh, how I wish that I could fly All in the name of liberty All in the name of liberty Got to be free Jailbreak, let me out of here Jailbreak, sixteen years Jailbreak, had more than I can take Jailbreak, yeah He said hed seen his lady being fooled with By another man She was down and he was up He had a gun in his hand Bullets started flying everywhere And people started to scream Big man lying on the ground With a hole in his body Where his life had been But it was - All in the name of liberty All in the name of liberty I got to be free Jailbreak, jailbreak I got to break out Out of here Heartbeats they were racin Freedom he was chasin Spotlights, sirens, rifles firing But he made it out With a bullet in his back









I am just a cowboy lonesome on the trail A starry night, a campfire light The coyote call, the howling winds wail So I ride out to the old sundown I am just a cowboy lonesome on the trail Lord, Im just thinking about a certain female The nights we spent together riding on the range Looking back it seems so strange Roll me over and turn me around Let me keep spinning till I hit the ground Roll me over and let me go Running free with the buffalo I was took in texas I did not know her name Lord, all these southern girls seem the same Down below the border in a town in mexico I got my job busting broncs for the rodeo Roll me over and turn me around Let me keep spinning till I hit the ground Roll me over and let me go Riding in the rodeo Roll me over and set me free The cowboys life is the life for me


 



Guess who just got back today? Them wild-eyed boys that had been away Haven't changed, haven't much to say But man, I still think them cats are crazy They were asking if you were around How you was, where you could be found Told them you were living downtown Driving all the old men crazy The boys are back in town The boys are back in town I said The boys are back in town The boys are back in town The boys are back in town The boys are back in town The boys are back in town The boys are back in town You know that chick that used to dance a lot Every night she'd be on the floor shaking what she'd got Man when I tell you she was cool, she was red hot I mean she was steaming And that time over at Johnny's place Well this chick got up and she slapped Johnny's face Man we just fell about the place If that chick don't want to know, forget her The boys are back in town The boys are back in town I said The boys are back in town The boys are back in town The boys are back in town The boys are back in town The boys are back in town The boys are back in town Spread the word around Guess who's back in town You spread the word around Friday night they'll be dressed to kill Down at Dino's bar and grill The drink will flow and blood will spill And if the boys want to fight, you'd better let them That jukebox in the corner blasting out my favorite song The nights are getting warmer, it won't be long Won't be long till summer comes Now that the boys are here again The boys are back in town The boys are back in town The boys are back in town The boys are back in town The boys are back in town The boys are back in town Spread the word around The boys are back in town The boys are back in town The boy's are back, the boys are back The boy's are back in town again Been hangin' down at Dino's The boy's are back in town again

Irish Wave II



 




Another head hangs lowly, Child is slowly taken. And the violence caused such silence, Who are we mistaken? But you see, it's not me, it's not my family. In your head, in your head they are fighting, With their tanks and their bombs, And their bombs and their guns. In your head, in your head, they are crying... In your head, in your head, Zombie, zombie, zombie, Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head, In your head, Zombie, zombie, zombie? Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, dou, dou, dou, dou, dou... Another mother's breakin', Heart is taking over. When the vi'lence causes silence, We must be mistaken. It's the same old theme since nineteen-sixteen. In your head, in your head they're still fighting, With their tanks and their bombs, And their bombs and their guns. In your head, in your head, they are dying... In your head, in your head, Zombie, zombie, zombie, Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head, In your head, Zombie, zombie, zombie? Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, oh, oh, Oh, oh, oh, oh, hey, oh, ya, ya-a...




Understand the things I say Don’t turn away from me Cause I spent half my life out there You wouldn’t disagree D’you see me, d’you see Do you like me, do you like me standing there D’you notice, d’you know Do you see me, do you see me Does anyone care Unhappiness, where’s when I was young And we didn’t give a damn ’cause we were raised To see life as a fun and take it if we can My mother, my mother she hold me Did she hold me, when I was out there My father, my father, he liked me Ol he liked me, does anyone care Understand what I’ve become It wasn’t my design And people everywhere think Something better than I am But I miss you, I miss ’cause I liked it, I liked it When I was out there D’you know this, d’you know You did not find me, you did not find Does anyone care Unhappiness was when I was young And we didn’t give a damn ’cause we were raised To see life as fun and take it if we can My mother, my mother she hold me Did she hold me, when I was out there My father, my father, he liked me Ol he liked me, does anyone care




It’s not worth anything more than this at all I live as I choose or I will not live at all So return to where you’ve come from Return to where you dwell Because harassment’s not my forte But you do it very well I’m free to decide, I’m free to decide And I’m not so suicidal after all I’m free to decide, I’m free to decide And I’m not so suicidal after all (at all, at all) You must have nothing more with your mind to do There’s a war in russia and sarejevo, too So to hell with want you’re thinking And to hell with your narrow mind You’re so distracted from the real thing You should leave your life behind (behind) I’m free to decide, I’m free to decide And I’m not so suicidal after all I’m free to decide, I’m free to decide And I’m not so suicidal after all (at all, at all) I’m free to decide, I’m free to decide And I’m not so suicidal after all (at all, at all) At all, at all, at all




Hold onto love that is what I do now that I've found you. And from above everything's stinking, they're not around you. And in the night, I could be helpless, I could be lonely, sleeping without you. And in the day, everything's complex, There's nothing simple, when I'm not around you. But I'll miss you when you're gone, that is what I do. Hey, baby! And it's going to carry on, that is what I do. Hey, baby... Hold onto my hands, I feel I'm sinking, sinking without you. And to my mind, everything's stinking, stinking without you. And in the night, I could be helpless, I could be lonely, sleeping without you. And in the day, everything's complex, There's nothing simple, when I'm not around you. But I'll miss you when you're gone, that is what I do. Hey, baby! And it's going to carry on, that is what I do. hey, baby...




Oh my life is changing everyday Every possible way Though my dreams, it’s never quite as it seems Never quite as it seems I know I felt like this before But now I’m feeling it even more Because it came from you Then I open up and see The person fumbling here is me A different way to be I want more, impossible to ignore Impossible to ignore They’ll come true, impossible not to do Impossible not to do Now I tell you openly You have my heart so don’t hurt me For what I couldn’t find Talk to me amazing mind So understanding and so kind You’re everything to me Oh my life is changing everyday Every possible way Though my dreams, it’s never quite as it seems ’cause you’re a dream to me Dream to me

姬芭歌



 








I met a gin soaked, bar-room queen in Memphis,
She tried to take me upstairs for a ride.
She had to heave me right across her shoulder
'Cause I just can't seem to drink you off my mind.

It's the honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues.

I laid a divorcee in New York City,
I had to put up some kind of a fight.
The lady then she covered me with roses,
She blew my nose and then she blew my mind.

It's the honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues.

(Yeah!) It's the honky tonk women.
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues.

(Yeah!) It's the honky tonk women.
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues.


by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards




Left a good job in the city,
Workin for the man evry night and day,
And I never lost one minute of sleepin,
Worryin bout the way things might have been.

Chorus:
Big wheel keep on turnin,
Proud mary keep on burnin,
Rollin, rollin, rollin on the river.

Cleaned a lot of plates in memphis,
Pumped a lot of pain down in new orleans,
But I never saw the good side of the city,
til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen.

Chorus

Rollin, rollin, rollin on the river.

If you come down to the river,
Bet you gonna find some people who live.
You dont have to worry cause you have no money,
People on the river are happy to give.

Chorus

Rollin, rollin, rollin on the river.
Rollin, rollin, rollin on the river.
Rollin, rollin, rollin on the river.
