抑鬱的深戀－《Greatest Lovesongs Vol.666》－邊緣星球

最深沉熱戀的橘紅

自從我介紹HIM的專輯以來，我就一直猶豫著要不要介紹Greatest Lovesongs Vol.666。這是HIM的第一張專輯，給我的感覺卻也是最複雜。不像其他後來的專輯我可以稍微描述他們帶給我的感動、想像，這張專輯一直都給我很模糊、捉摸不定的感覺。

第一張專輯用上666這個數字，整張專輯共66分6秒，首支單曲Your Sweet 666。(and 66 tracks)

看過很多評論，光是666這個數字就足夠大家討論半天。很多人總是說6是個惡魔的數字，這也是為什麼有些人總是自動把HIM標上「撒旦信仰」。

但是對HIM和Ville來說，666代表了一切的矛盾，愛情中的美好和邪惡，愛情比生命更遼闊然而也更接近死亡，在肉慾、純潔的精神間不斷掙扎。

Ville曾說:"666 is something you're possessed with, something you just have to get although you know it will destroy you in the end. It's something sweet but it has a bitter aftertaste, like Belgian beer or something, ha-ha..."
(666是那些你擁有的東西，那些你必須擁有卻仍舊會在最後摧毀你的東西。那種東西很甜美，但又有一絲流連的苦澀，像是比利時啤酒那樣，哈哈......)

從最初認識HIM時，我一直覺得這張專輯有點"未成熟"，比起後面暴紅的幾張，這張比較沒有那樣的張狂、華麗，卻多了份抑鬱不安的躁動。

要過了很久，我再次聽這張專輯時才開始慢慢有不同感受。總覺得那是被壓抑的情感，在心底最深處蔓延、茁壯，發酵成一股滾動焦躁的渴望，想打碎什麼、毀壞什麼的衝動，在胸膛中濃烈的燃燒著，尤其是橘紅色的封面更是加深了我這樣的感覺。

這也是HIM所有專輯中我認為最適合拿來夜晚聽的。

在無法入眠的夜，伴著酒精與Ville低沉的嗓音，心底最易碎的地方頓時瀕臨崩潰。

Your Sweet 666

這是首支單曲，也收錄在Razorblade Romance中，不過並沒有MV。關於這首歌，Ville曾說 :" Lyrically, it's a love song about how another person hurts you, but it's still fucking hard to let go. You don't even know whether you want out of the relationship." (Synnin viemää : pp.80-81)

所以只好看現場演出來彌補XD

There are things you should know
And the distance between us seems to grow
But you're holding on strong
And, oh, how hard it is to let go, oh, so hard to let go

I'm waiting for your call and I'm ready to take your
Six six six in my heart
And I'm longing for your touch and I welcome your sweet
Six six six in my heart (oh, my heart)

I'm losing my faith in you
But you don't want it to be true
But there's nothing you can do
There is no thing you can do - yes, I've lost my faith in you

Waiting for your call
And I'm ready to take your six six six in my heart
And I'm longing for your touch and I welcome your sweet
Six six six in my heart
Right here in this heart

Oh,
Right here in this heart
I'm lonely

And I know it's too late
Oh, my god you're so lonely

Wicked Game

這是Ville翻唱Chris Isaak的歌曲，我沒聽過原版，不太確定是不是差很多或是改編上不同，但是我第一次覺得Ville聲音聽起來性感的不得了就是因為這首歌的緣故。

但是我不怎麼喜歡他的MV(那個女的也太醜......)，不過Razorblade Romance裡這首歌的MV倒是不錯，我超愛Ville那個時期的造型!

World was on fire, no one could save me but you
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do
I'd never dreamed that I'd need somebody like you
And I'd never dreamed that I'd need somebody like you

No, I wanna fall in love
(this world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I wanna fall in love
(this world is only gonna break your heart)
..with you

(this world is only gonna break your heart)

What a wicked game to play
To make me feel this way
What a wicked thing to do
To let me dream of you
What a wicked thing to say
You never felt this way
What a wicked thing you do
To make me dream of you

No, I wanna fall in love
(this world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I wanna fall in love
(this world is only gonna break your heart)
..with you

Nobody loves no one

For You

整張專輯裡這首歌是我的最最最愛，每次他唱到"my heaven's wherever you are,I'm for you"時，真的就無法遏止的心動跟喜悅的顫抖。

一樣沒有MV，所以聽現場演唱吧!

In the grace of your love I writhe in pain
In 666 ways I love you and I hope you feel the same

I'm for you
I'm for you

I'm killing myself for your love and again all is lost
In 777 ways I love you 'til my death do us part

I'm for you - and I'm dying for your love
I'm for you - and my heaven is wherever you are
I'm for you - and I'm dying for your love
I'm for you - and my heaven is wherever you are

In 666 ways I love you and my heaven is wherever you are

It is all Tears(drown in this love)

這首歌中Ville的音域真是太廣了，聽過各種不同時候的現場版，震撼力真的很大!

Open your arms and let me show you what love can be like
It's all tears and it will be 'til the end of your time
Come closer my love
Will you let me tear your heart apart?
Now all hope is gone so drown in this love

I'm waiting for you to drown in my love
So open your arms
I'm waiting for you to open your arms
And drown in this love
I'm waiting for you to drown in my love
So open your arms
I'm waiting for you to open your arms
And drown in this love

So my love your laughter is finally turning into tears
And you're begging for more though the end is getting near
come closer my love
I'll violate you in the most sensual way... until you drown in this
love

When Love and Death Embrace

在整張專輯中較緩慢的一首歌，比起前面幾首，這首Ville的聲音更加深沉，更像在對戀人傾訴。
