烈日炎炎，推荐一首忧伤的歌儿，Cigarettes After Sex发行于2017年的《K.》。卡夫卡曾言：“交配之后所有的动物都悲伤”也许就是这样吧。
K.
I remember when I first noticed that you liked me back
还记得自己初次发现你也喜欢我
We were sitting down in a restaurant waiting for the check
我们正坐在餐馆里等着结账
We had made love earlier that day with no strings attached
那天早些时候 我们毫无顾忌地滚了床单
But I could tell that something had changed how you looked at me then
但我看得出来 你望着我的眼神已有所不同
Kristen, come right back
克里斯汀 快回到我身边
I've been waiting for you to slip back in bed
我一直等着你回来与我同床而眠
When you light the candle
在你点燃烛光之际
And on the Lower East Side you're dancing with me now
此刻 你正在下东区与我共舞
And I'm taking pictures of you with flowers on the wall
鲜花盛开的墙边 我为你拍下数张照片
Think I like you best when you're dressed in black from head to toe
我最中意你全身上下一袭黑衣的模样
Think I like you best when you're just with me
我最中意那个伴我左右的你
And no one else...
仅有你我 再无他人
Kristen, come right back
克里斯汀 快回到我身边
I've been waiting for you to slip back in bed
我一直等着你回来与我同床而眠
When you light the candle
在你点燃烛光之际
And I'm kissing you lying in my room
我在房中躺下来亲吻你
Holding you until you fall asleep
抱着你直到你睡去
And it's just as good as I knew it would be
这美好的场景正符合我所想
Stay with me I don't want you to leave...
留在我身边 我不希望你离去
Kristen, come right back
克里斯汀 快回到我身边
I've been waiting for you to slip back in bed
我一直等着你回来与我同床而眠
When you light the candle?
在你点燃烛光之际
Cigarettes After Sex是一个以布鲁克林为基地的流行音乐团体，由纽约作曲家格雷格·冈萨雷斯(Greg Gonzalez)领导。
该乐队成立于2008年，由键盘手菲利普·塔布斯、贝斯手兰迪·米勒和鼓手雅各布·汤姆斯基组成。
2012年春天，Cigarettes After Sex乐队在一栋四层楼的楼梯上录制了他们的首张EP。
从那时起，它们就成为了一种病毒式的现象，在YouTube上因其精致的渴望和优雅的黑色流行音乐而产生了超过1亿的点击量。
“忧郁、中性的黑色流行音乐背景是烟雾弥漫的黑暗。”——《滚石》
一贯以迷幻音乐著称的Cigarettes After Sex这首单曲也是如此，让人有着轻轻地如上云端的幻觉，又流露出淡淡的悲伤。
每个人心中都有一个Kristen，但愿ta能在点燃烛光之际与你同床而眠。
