相信每个人的心底都会珍藏着某段音乐，它能立即勾起人的最深远、最美好、最难忘、最模糊、最琐碎的回忆，或者引发人的最无拘无束、最诗情画意的想象。Low的音乐对我就具有这种难以用文字表达的意味。I Could Live In Hope，Low的首张专辑，它把许多无意义的回忆碎片嵌进我的心底，那寂静无人的山  Low丘小径，那反射在湖面的落日，那些影影绰绰的树木，那些橙黄色温暖的路灯，那些入睡之前的漫长黑夜，Low引领我离开了狭窄的空间，穿过屋檐，穿过树的枝枝叶叶，穿过云朵，一直飘升至地球的平流层，我躺在云端，放眼是无边无际的蓝天，在那里我不必担心会缺氧而窒息，因为我正在呼吸着音乐...... 
Low是Vernon Yard旗下的三人乐队，其音乐如其名字，是我所听过的最简约、最低调的摇滚乐，最大的声响也不超过古典音乐中的室内乐。他们有意地在音符之间留出空隙，把悠悠的时间和空间一并编织入他们的音乐中。简洁、恍惚的吉他和贝司，若有若无的鼓点，Alan Sparhawk和Mimi Parker伉俪吟唱出梦呓般的优美旋律。他们好像用神奇的 棱镜，将各种复杂的声音分解成稀疏的、最简单的乐韵，安静如幽幽森林里微风的呼吸，清澈如缓缓溪水中蓝天的倒影。Low每一首歌的歌词都不长，就象几行意识流诗韵。 
别误会这是不痛不痒的轻音乐或催眠曲。用心聆听，Low能带给你忧伤、不安和沉思（甚至失眠），Alan也承认他们的音乐有时会使人联想起The Cure早期的晦暗、压抑的作品，比如Seventeen Seconds和Faith。不知道是不是巧合，事实上有很多Low的乐迷同时也是The Cure的死硬派拥趸。在芝加哥的Michael十几岁就开始迷恋The Cure的音乐，现在他既是The Cure的huge fan，又是Alan和Mimi的亲密朋友（多么令人羡慕）。他告诉我一件有趣的事：他的一个朋友的女友，在听Low的音乐时竟入迷得忘了呼吸，等那首歌结束时她都快窒息了，这才大口地喘气。 
我笑了。有什么理由觉得孤独呢，在地球上有这么多心有灵犀的人在听着相同的音乐发出相似的感叹。“over the oceans, over the hills, over the dell, over the fireline....over the sand, over the plan, over the empire....” 
Low的歌词有不少是在无意识的状态下写就的。有时我不禁惊讶：怎么连这么琐屑的事情也值得Low充满感情地吟唱？“The sea is a long long way, I'd go there if I had the time, but lying here will be just fine...The sea is a long long way from me.”然而当你听着Low的音乐的时候是不会想这么多的，你只会在莫名的幸福感中陶醉，仿佛服用了大麻或LSD。 
One More Reason To Forget是Low在罗斯威尔一间教堂里的现场录音，空旷建筑物的隐约回声使Low的音乐显得更悠远、静谧。这张唱片的题献，是纪念一位年轻的艺术家和作家Phil Perry，为了从令他心烦的城市、人群和工作中暂时逃避出来，他独自到广阔的大自然中旅行，在大自然中寻找困扰心头的问题的答案，找回内心的平静，追逐心底的梦想...当他乘独木舟荡漾在湖面时，不期而至的可怕风暴卷起凶猛的湖水连人带船吞没了...... 
唱片名取自长达17分16秒的Do You Know How To Waltz?中的乐句。Low用大篇幅的Sonic Youth式的吉他噪音渲染了令人不安的气氛，而短短四句歌词淋漓地表达了短暂而简单的欢乐之后的彻骨悲凉。而当Over The Ocean氤氲地沁入心田的时候，梭罗笔下的瓦尔登湖、缅因森林和梅里马克河若隐若现。唱片中还有Be There、Venus和速度放得更慢的Shame等歌曲，使人在淡淡的怅然若失的情绪中不酒自醉。 
某夜我梦见自己从什么地方起飞，一阵快速飞行时离心力作用下的眩晕之后，我发现自己很安稳地漂浮在高空，俯瞰下面是一片湖，我从未见过这一景象，但我知道那是XW湖。如果当时耳边会响起音乐的话，那一定是Low。

单曲
LOW（单曲）来自美国佛罗里达的Hip-Hop新人Flo Rida与T-Pain合作的那首大人气单曲《Low》在Billboard单曲排行榜上足足做了10周的冠军。在iTunes单曲下载排行榜上也至少做了8周左右的冠军。而且这首《Low》还是美国刚刚上映的一部很火的电影《Step Up 2: The Streets》(《舞出我人生2: 街舞狂潮》)的第一主打歌。作为一个新人的第一首歌就能取得这样的成绩，这真是不能不让人佩服。接下来的第二支单曲与Timbaland合作的《Elevator》虽然没有像《Low》取得那么辉煌的成绩，但是依然很受人们的欢迎。Flo-Rida也是趁热发表了个人的首张大碟《Mail On Sunday》，专辑里一共14首歌中有9首都是和别人合作的，看看这些feating的对象真是很豪华的阵容啊。相信这张专辑发行后会续写《Low》的奇迹.Flo Rida首张个人专辑《Mail on Sunday》在发行后立即跃升Billboard排行榜专辑销量第四名，并且其中的单曲在Billboard单曲榜上也有不错的成绩。歌词Shawty had them Apple Bottom Jeans
