专辑介绍： On the Beach这张发行於1974年的专辑被称为是Neil Young 的Ditch Trilogy之一，另外两部曲是Time Fades Away(1973)与Tonight's the Night(1975)。这个名称源自於老杨本身的一段话："This song put me in the middle of the road. Travelling there soon became a bore so I headed for the ditch. A rougher ride but I saw more interesting people there." 这首歌指的是让他成为流行巨星的排行榜冠军曲Heart of gold，老杨本身极度不适应、也不喜欢这种成名后所带来华而不实的明星生活型态，他宁愿选择一条较艰难却有趣的多的道路，除此之外，多年好友Crazy Horse吉他手Danny Whitten与乐团巡迴经纪人Bruce Berry相继因药物问题而去世也带给老杨极大的打击，因此这三张专辑内容流露的尽是黑暗与绝望的气息，於是又被称为是Doom Trilogy或者是Depression Trilogy，而On the Beach裏的Revolution blues、Vampire blues与Ambulance blues三首歌明白点出了老杨当时的心境，这三首歌曲也是这张专辑裏著名的蓝调三部曲Blues Trilogy。 在音乐部份，On the Beach的曲调虽是以民谣与乡村摇滚为主，但是整体却佈满深沈的忧鬱，吉他、口琴、钢琴、贝斯与鼓击都因沾满老杨哀愁的思绪而变得低调起来，是一种疲累到脚步沈重缓慢以至於几近无法行走的状态，整个人颓然地瘫坐在椅子上动弹不得，再加上老杨本身尖而细的嗓音，高音单薄但韧性十足，彷彿像针一般刺进你的心裏，逼使自己正视那一块不想碰触的角落，然而即使流脓也是一件好事，因为所有的不快乐都随著聆听On the Beach这张专辑而被洗涤乾净，那是一种痛彻心扉后的舒服畅快，灵魂在此也得到拯救，而且没有人该是永远悲伤自怜的，老杨也想藉著三部曲之末篇On the Beach的发行(比Tonight's the Night晚录製却因唱片公司的考量而早一年出版)出清那段时间累积的负面情绪，於是在这张专辑裏唯一一首轻快、带有些许阳光气息歌曲Walk on的出现便具有某种程度上的正面意义，让我们明白唯有放下过去继续往前走，未来才能值得期待，正如歌词所陈述，"sooner or later, it all gets real."。(转自 http://blog.roodo.com/bananarepublic) Sparse, underproduced, and at times downright dour, On the Beach was Neil Young's first studio album after Harvest had transformed him into a mainstream superstar two years before. It was a career move akin to "pissin' in the wind," as the artist himself describes life on one of the album's most famous lines. Young had already recorded the harrowing Tonight's the Night, his indictment of '60s drug culture and the damage done, but his label rejected it as too abrasive. So the artist gave them this instead. Less mournful but still haunting, the album is basically Young's rejection of rock stardom and what had become of the counterculture, covering a range of subjects, including Richard Nixon and Patty Hearst (the epic "Ambulance Blues"), his affair with actress Carrie Snodgrass ("Motion Pictures"), and, most famously, years before it became "chic" to do so, Charles Manson (the rocking "Revolution Blues"). "Vampire Blues," meanwhile, seemed to be about all those topics, as well as Young himself. Full of despair and little hope, On the Beach would nevertheless eventually come to be reappraised as a rock culture masterpiece. --Bill Holdship
