創作背景
Dan Auerbach 和 Patrick Carney 兩人是髮小,而從大學輟學以後,他們組建了該樂隊。通過在小俱樂部參加各式各樣的巡迴演出,他們不斷的進行新的創作,為了獲得更多的上台唱歌的機會。
這首歌是在Dan Auerbach和他的妻子離異時所創作的,因為妻子的離開,使得Dan Auerbach創作的這首歌旋律變得更加憂鬱的慢節奏,表現出了
迷幻搖滾和
靈魂樂的影響。
歌曲歌詞
She's Long Gone - The Black Keys
She was made to blow you away
She don't care what any man say
Well you can watch her strut
But keep your mouth shut
Or it's ruination day
Well now she's long
A long gone
Oh now she's long
Yeah now she's long gone
Like Moses through the corn
Well her eyes they're rubies and pearls
And she's not made like those other girls
Well her lashes flare in this madman bath
Like springs bouncing off of her curls
Oh now she's long
A long gone
Na na na na na
She's long
A long gone
Like Moses through the corn
A long gone
歌曲鑑賞
這首悲傷的愛情歌曲,在樂隊的演義下顯得充滿了靈性,整首歌用鋼琴托底,以吉他點綴加上主唱撕破心一樣的高音,使得它成為首足可以要一個人聽後流淚。
