Buddy’s Rendezvous – Lana Del Rey/Father John Misty
Lyrics by：Josh Tillman
Composed by：Josh Tillman
Lana Del Rey：
Everybody’s girl
What’s the point in bein’ everybody’s girl
Maybe you think that way there’s no chance gettin’ hurt
Livin’ for no one costs me way more than it’s worth
So you’re gonna be a singer
Well I’ll be godd**n
You’re as pretty as a post card
No thanks to the old man
It’s the same coat I had on
The night that I went in
I can stay an hour at Canter’s
The streets cool off by then
When can I see you again
Whatever happened to the girl I knew
In the wasteland come up short and end up on the news
Whatever happened to the girl I knew
In the wasteland come up short and end up on the news
Hey hey hey hey
Everything you want
What’s the fun in gettin’ everything you want
I wouldn’t know but look baby you should try
Forget that lefty s**t your mom drilled in your mind
Give the world a new savior
Sell his pictures to the press
Buy a place out in the country
Leave this world for someone else
My destruction is an hour late
I’m at Buddy’s Rendezvous
Tellin’ the losers and old timers
How good I did with you
They almost believe me too
Lana Del Rey/Father John Misty：
Whatever happened to the girl I knew
In the wasteland come up short and end up on the news
Hey hey hey hey
Whatever happened to the girl I knew
In the wasteland come up short and end up on the news
Ah-ha ah-ha
Whatever happened to the girl I knew
In the wasteland come up short and end up on the news
Hey hey hey hey
Whatever happened
Whatever happened
1. 创作背景
- 原作出处：这首歌最初收录在Father John Misty于2022年4月发行的专辑《Chloë and the Next 20th Century》中。该专辑以其复古的爵士流行风格和戏剧化的叙事著称，探索了20世纪的情感与人际关系。
- 合作契机：Lana Del Rey与Father John Misty私交甚笃，两人在音乐美学上有着高度的共鸣——都擅长营造怀旧、浪漫且略带忧郁的氛围。为了回应歌迷对于实体唱片（特别是7寸黑胶）独占曲目的需求，同时也作为对原作的致敬，两人决定重新演绎这首歌曲。
- 发行时间：合唱版单曲于2022年6月16日正式发行，由Sub Pop Records发行。这个版本并非简单的feat（助阵），而是一次深度的双人对话式演绎。
2. 歌词含义与表达主题
- 对“Everybody's Girl”的质疑：
歌词开篇Lana Del Rey唱道：“Everybody's girl / What's the point in bein' everybody's girl”（做所有人的女孩，这样做有什么意义呢？）。这句歌词直接点出了主题：试图取悦所有人、保持一种对谁都友善但谁都不真正拥有的状态，最终只会导致内心的空虚和自我价值的迷失。 - 情感代价：
“Maybe you think that way there's no chance gettin' hurt / Livin' for no one costs me way more than it's worth”（也许你觉得这样就不会受伤 / 但为谁都不活的生活，代价远超其价值）。这揭示了主角的心理防御机制：通过不承诺、不深入来避免受伤害，但这种冷漠和疏离反而带来了更大的痛苦和孤独感。 - “Buddy’s Rendezvous”的隐喻：
歌名中的“Rendezvous”意为约会或幽会，而“Buddy”通常指朋友或伙伴。这种组合暗示了一种非正式的、模糊的、甚至略显随意的关系状态。它既不是严肃的恋人，也不是普通的朋友，而是一种在现代都市生活中常见的、缺乏深度承诺的“伙伴式约会”。歌曲通过这种关系，讽刺或哀叹了当代爱情中真诚缺失、人人都是“过客”的现象。 - 双人对唱的张力：
在合唱版本中，Lana Del Rey柔和、梦幻的声线与Father John Misty略带戏谑又深情的嗓音形成了完美的互补。Lana代表了那个陷入迷茫、渴望被理解的女性视角，而FJM则像是一个旁观者或对话者，引导她（也引导听众）去审视这种生活状态的荒谬与悲哀。
