耳朵聽見的事-魔菇音樂隨筆 - 在我小說裡出現的樂團II — The National ‧ Boxer

寫小說真的是一件蠻爽的事，因為可以寫自己喜歡的肉跟各種play，再來就是光明正大地把自己喜歡的團跟歌放進去當主題曲。

在《薔薇若歸》21回只穿圍裙 裡提到的Slow Show是出自The National在2007年發行的首張專輯Boxer。

The National其實是我與我老公的媒人團，因為彼時這團還挺冷門，台灣聽這團的人不多，兩人自此一拍即合。

Boxer這張專輯是我的最初與最愛，但這團的產出品質一直很平穩，近年還跟 Taylor Swift 及 Bon Iver都有合作。

在Boxer這張專輯裡我最愛的是 Mistaken For Strangers，編曲與鼓點都無懈可擊，歌詞也很有趣。

小說裡提到Slow Show是首可愛的小品，在愛裡的急切笨拙還有緣來就是你都寫在歌詞裡了。507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltvHq0jhDV
