Susheela Raman《what silence said》

《what silence said》

歌手：Susheela Raman

 Does the unknown bird enter and leave the cage ?

Paris café. our last rendez-vous ./rainswept, backwardscripted windows/our shrunken heads reading signs and lips

One last dance . broken steps / before your eclipse

Was there thunder in your ears?/ mine were full of sand, not hearing/

What your silence said/ and if I turn around, your mouth open/

No sound. your eyes screaming/ retreating into blackness

A day too late, your news found me at home./

Mind bubbling up/ angry water refusing a stone/

And then revenge/ I felt life surge in my veins/

A hunger you would never taste again

Did you lose your faith in love?/

Did you lose faith in human feeling?/

Silence./ did you lose your trust in truth?/

Did your heart find no way to healing / like I lost you?

You left your lovers close behind/

All twisted up in time, you crossed the line./

It's all we have this thin twine./ then nothing/

Just the emptiness you carved / your spine a lonely blade

In space/ to the end a dancer/ beautiful face begins to fade/

Thanks you for being my friend/ beautiful face begins to fade

Susheela Raman另一个嗓音独特的英籍印裔女歌手，她的专辑结合了英文和印度语，但都以印度音乐为根基，即使是用英文演唱的歌曲，也大多改编自印度音乐，歌曲大多反映了女性生活与情感的遭遇，带着印度音乐的旖旎委婉，又因她磁性的嗓音而愈发的深情迷人。

Susheela虽然只出版了两张专辑，但两张专辑都制作得非常出色，特别是她的第一张专辑《Salt Rain》，历时三年才制作完成，与来自喀麦隆、几内亚、希腊、印度、法国等世界各地国家的音乐家合作，是一张风格独特、多元素融合的专辑，这张专辑一经发行，Susheela即凭这张专辑获得了BBC3台颁发的世界音乐最佳新人奖。

其实她的成功并不是一蹴而就的，Susheela虽然在英国出生，但她从小就开始了南印度古典音乐的学习和演唱，并一直在家庭中沿袭印度泰米尔的文化习俗，在她10多岁的时候，她开始学习更多的布鲁斯风格的音乐和演唱技巧，所以在她的音乐中可以感受她经过训练的近乎完美的发声和运气。1995年Susheela回到印度向在世的印度最著名的北印度音乐Hindustani声乐家Shruti Sadolikar 学习演唱。这次学习经历让Susheela发现了一种新的方式进行演唱。
