"They are no brothers. They don't act like that. BOYFRIENDS. They act more like they are a BOYFRIEND and a GIRLFRIEND." ——Kaiser Chief on Gallagher bros.

1,For Noel, Liam is "the extraordinary guy" (1997) 

"I sang this one (Magic Pie). Of course, me and Liam had a row about it. 'Why can't I sing
that?' 'OK, I'll do Fade In/Out then.' 'No, you won't.' But it's his favourite
track now. The first line, 'An extraordinary guy/Can never have an ordinary
day', comes from him asking me, 'How come you never get into any of the
situations I get into?”

1. 对Noel来说，Liam 就是“那个特别的人”

“我唱了这歌（Magic Pie）。可想而知，Liam和我为此吵了一场。“为什么不能让我唱？”“没问题啊，那fade in/out就由我来唱。”“不，不要。”可他现在最喜欢的就是magic pie。歌词的第一句，‘超凡的人/从不作凡客’，来自于他问我的一个问题，“为什么你从来不会碰上我遇见的那些破事？”


2，Noel worried about Liam (1997) 

"Yeah, the thing about him is that he's still not cottoned onto how we make him sing an angry song as well as he does. The more you wind him up, the better his singing is. The more you wind him up, the more you call him a cunt, the more you bring the papers in and say, 'Look what they're saying about you, you soft bastard!', he'll just go in there and deliver straight away. But he's got the hardest life to deal with, being the singer and being with Patsy. And to be honest, I would've thought he'd have gone under by now. I was saying to my mam a few months ago, 'It doesn't look good, he's only 24 and it's not very healthy' but he's hung in there. 

2. Noel担心Liam

“嗯，目前Liam还没识破我们逼他恰当地演绎一首充满愤怒的歌曲的方法。你越激他，他唱得越好。你越气他，你越破口骂他，你越诋毁他：“看看这些报纸都是怎么评论你的，你个没底气的！”，他就会乖乖走进录音室，马上开口唱。可其实作为主唱，还和Patsy拍拖，他的日子是最难过的。说实话，我以为他早就会垮下。几个月前我还和老妈说，“情况不是很乐观，他才24岁，这样可不健康，可他被困住了。”

3，It's a mix of adoration and disdain that drives the two (1997) 

"He’s got a sneer, inne?"' Noel says of Liam. Each brother fondly refers to the absent sibling as Our Kid. Each claims to be the other's biggest fan. It's a mix of adoration and disdain that drives the two. Without Noel, Liam is just a good-looking lout. And Noel's songs don't resonate by themselves. Without that voice, that cocksure snarl that treats vowels like taffy - without Liam, Noel's lyrics are nothing more than fodder for yearbook quotes.”

3. 爱恨交织驾驭着两人的关系

“他又在冷笑，对不对？”Noel谈及Liam。哥俩都习惯把不在场的另一个爱称作“Our Kid”。每个都标榜自己是另一位最忠实的fans。爱与恨的纠缠驾驭着兄弟二人的关系。没有Noel, Liam仅是个空有好皮囊的草包。可Noel写的歌也不会自动发声。没有那副嗓音，没有那副超级自信、把元音当作太妃糖一样含在嘴里的咆哮唱腔——没有Liam，Noel写的歌词不过是纪年体语录集里毫无生气的字句。

4, Whatever's going through my mind is going through his (1997) 

“People are always saying, "Oh, Noel, you must have been envisaging Liam singing this lyric because it feels so natural when he's singing it." But that's because we're family. We have the same blood, the same parents, and whatever's going through my mind is going through his. It's as simple as that. The only problem I have with Liam over lyrics is that I'm dyslexic, so sometimes I forget to write down words, or spell them incorrectly. Then when Liam sings them incorrectly he says, "But it doesn't make any fuckin' sense!"- and then it turns out I forgot half of the sentence.”

4. 心有灵犀

“人们总是和我说，‘哦，Noel，你写歌词时一定是先设想了Liam唱起来会是怎样，因为他唱那些歌词时听起来是那么的自然。’可那是因为我们是一家人。他和我流着同样的血，同父同母，无论我想的是什么，他一样能想到。就是这么简单。关于歌词这个主题，我对Liam唯一要抱怨的地方在于我有诵读障碍，所以有时我会漏写一些单词，或是拼得不对。等Liam将错就错把歌唱出来的时候，他会说，“可这他妈的狗屁不通啊！”——结果往往是我一句话漏写了半句。”

5, "Then," says Noel, "it frightened him." (1997) 

"When I'm writing a song," says Noel, "if there's a note that I can't sing, that I know for a fact that he won't be able to sing as well, I'll still keep it in. And he'll say, 'I can't go that high.' 'Ah, yes you f***in' ken, you better hope you can go that high, 'cause if you don't sing it then I'm gonna sing it and then you're not gonna sing it.' And then he goes away and learns it till he sings it properly."

Of course, it works both ways.

"I remember when I played 'Champagne Supernova' for the first time. I said, 'What'd ya think of it? Noel pulls a sour Liam mug: Eh, 'sairight.' I said, 'Yeah, but it's not finished.' You know what he said? He said, 'It'll be all right when it's finished.'I was like, 'F***in' cheeky bastard! Noel clenches a fist and makes the why-I-oughta gesture. "Then you go away and you think, 'Actually, maybe he's right' And then I put that middle bit in with the guitar solo and all that. Then," says Noel, "it frightened him."

5.“后来，”Noel说道，“那歌把他震慑到了。”

“我写歌的时候，”Noel说道，“要是有个音符我意识到自己唱不到，我知道他也肯定没法唱，可我还是把那个音符搁在那儿。他会跑来说“我唱不到那么高”，‘屁话，你他妈的当然能，你最好想法吼上去，因为你要是唱不了，我可要亲自出马啦，这样你就不能唱了。’然后他就呆一边自己慢慢琢磨直到唱好了为止。”

当然，这是个可逆模式。

“我记得我第一次弹“香槟超新星”的时候，我问他，‘你觉得怎样？’Noel学了Liam的一个典型鬼脸：‘呃，凑合’。我说，‘嗯，可还没写好呢’。你知道他后来说了什么？他说，‘写好了才凑合’。我只能无语：“无耻混蛋！”Noel狠狠地握了下拳，做了个‘凭什么’的手势。“可后来你会想，‘事实上，他说得可能有道理’，随后我在中间加了段吉他solo还有其他效果。后来，”Noel说道，“那首歌让他听出了恐惧。”

6,Noel's songs get Liam out of bed in the morning (1997) 

Do Noel’s songs still surprise you?

"That’s what gets me out of bed in the morning. He’s top. A fantastic songwriter. He’s the devil, isn’t he, man? You might as well sell your soul. I’d sell it. No one knows where it goes. It’s better than turning into a cat, isn’t it? I’d rather get a few quid for it and a few songs. No one knows where your soul goes. What is a soul? You’ve got a voice, a big dick, or a fucking top pair of trainers. What’s a soul?"

6. Noel的歌是Liam早上起床的动力

Noel写的歌还能给你带来惊喜么？

“早上都是听着他的歌起的床。他最棒了。才华横溢。他就是撒旦，不是吗？大家最好都把灵魂出卖给他。我就愿意。没人知道自己的灵魂该何去何从。（卖给Noel）总比转世成一只猫强，对不对？我愿意（把灵魂卖给他），换几个钱到手，还有歌。大家都不知道自己的灵魂该往哪儿去。灵魂毛也不是！你或是天生一副好嗓子，或是生理上超人一等，或是有一双酷必了的跑鞋。（可谁能说清）自己的灵魂是什么样？

7，Liam won't sing without Noel (1997) 

"The thing about Liam, which I still can’t get me head round at all, is this: I gave him the demo tapes a year ago. It was last May, right. We’d done all our bits for the album and we had two weeks off. Liam was going to sing all the vocals in two weeks. Of course, once I was out of the country he went and sat in the pub for two weeks. He won't sing unless I'm there. And then he moans if I moan at him. [Shakes head despairingly] But no, it’s pretty good actually. It’s very good."

7. Noel不在身边，Liam就不唱

“关于Liam，他有个毛病，我现在都没想通：一年前我给了他一份专辑的demo。去年五月。我们几个已经把专辑里的份内活干完了，就决定休假两周。Liam本应该在那两个星期里把所有的歌录好。可我刚出国，他就理所当然地去了酒吧，在酒吧里泡了整整两星期。除非我和他在一起，否则他根本不肯开口唱。要是我为此向他抱怨，他会反过来抱怨我。[绝望地摇摇头]不过话说回来，这样倒好。这样挺好的。”

8，Liam as Noel's puppet (1997) 

The mood, such as it is, is neatly forecasted by an initial exchange between the Gallaghers. "Sit on me knee," says Liam, as Noel perches on a flight case.
"You’re the puppet," comes the response. "You sit on my fucking knee."

8. Liam是Noel的玩偶

兄弟俩就争取关系主导权进行的一次交流，完美地揭示了咖喱哥之间微妙的化学反应。
当Noel靠着行李箱休息时，Liam对他说，“过来坐在我腿上吧”。
他得到的回应是：“你是提线木偶”，“你tm过来坐在我腿上”

9,Noel looking forward to a night out with Liam (1997) 

Another cough from outside and Noel winks.

"That's my signal. I'll have to get off or I'll miss me train to Paris, and I don't want to do that, I'm looking forward to our night out too much."


9. Noel期待和Liam出去玩

外面又传来了一声咳嗽，Noel眨了眨眼。

“那是给我的信号。我得撤了，不然就要错过去巴黎的火车啦，我可不想错过，我一直盼着和他好好出去玩一晚。”

10, We all need someone we can lean on (1997) 

"Those American gigs were good and reminded us just how much we love playing our songs. Our Kid was great. He phoned up all nervous and I said to him, 'If you're having trouble singing have some black coffee and it'll open the muscles in your throat'. He phones me up in my room later and goes, 'I'm really nervous, man, I feel really worried'. I'm like, 'It's good to be nervous before a gig'. He goes, 'No, man, not bothered about that, I think I've drunk too much coffee, man'. He thought he'd OD'd on it! Stupid cunt had six espressos one after the other."

10. 我们都需要一个可以依赖的人

“在美国的演出很不错，让我们意识到我们有多喜欢表演自己的歌。Liam很棒。他打电话给我，显得很紧张，我告诉他：‘要是嗓子打不开，可以喝点黑咖啡，有助你打开喉部的肌肉’。过了一会儿，他又给我房间打电话：‘哥，我现在特紧张，感觉很焦心’。我和他说，‘演出前感到紧张其实挺好的’。他说，‘不是，不是因为那个，我觉得我貌似喝了太多咖啡！’他觉得多多益善呢！这个二缺一口气连续喝了六杯浓缩咖啡。”

11，He looked me in the eyes in the BA departure lounge (1997/1996) 

Liam leaving the band at the airport to go house hunting) "I'll tell you the exact story, right. He looked me in the eyes in the British Airways departure lounge and says, 'I've got nowhere to live, I've got to get somewhere to live'. And I was that gobsmacked that I said, 'Do one then'. I didn't actually think he would! He went, 'Right, see you in a bit', I said, 'Right, see you in a bit', fully expecting him to come back in five minutes time. And he didn't. The cunt. He fucked off! When we got to America everyone was asking me where Liam was and I said, 'You're not going to believe this, he didn't come. Right, we've just had three months off for the sole purpose of buying somewhere to live and he's just decided right now, NOW, that he needs to find somewhere to live'. We all laughed about it in the end because only he could do something like that, but it was out of order for the kids and that.".

11. 在国航候机室，他直视着我的双眼（为了买房，Liam在机场弃乐队而去）

“我来告诉你事情的真相。在国航候机室，他看着我的眼睛和我说，‘我都没地儿住，我要给自己找个地方住’。我当时很意外，就回他，‘那就去啊’。我根本没想过他真的会去！他说，‘嗯，回见啦’，我说，‘嗯，回见’，完全以为5分钟内他就会回来。结果他没有。王八蛋。他真跑了！我们到了美国，每个人都问我Liam去哪儿了，我和他们说，‘说了你们肯定也不信，他没来。之前特意放了3个月的假专门让大家去挑房子，而他现在才决定，现！在！他需要找个地儿住！’。最后，大家都对此一笑而过，因为只有他才做得出这种事，不过对fans来说，的确有点委屈。”

12, Noel and Liam dancing together, 1997

All of them were quiet , expectant. This music had taken seven months to realize. Feedback, guitars, bass, drums, sonic effect now filled the huge speakers. The drinks on the table started to shake. Suddenly the musical dust settled and the band strode magnificently into 'Do You Know What I Mean?".

As his voice filled the studio, attacked us from all angles, Liam walked forward to stand by his brother and listen hard. Noel turned and smiled. Then he put his arm around his younger brother and the pair of them spontaneously started dancing and laughing at this thing they had achieved. "

12. Noel和Liam翩翩起舞

所有人都安静地期待着。这段音乐他们可是花了好几个月才做出来的。回音、吉他、贝司、鼓，各种音效填充着扩音器。摆在桌上的酒水甚至开始左摇右晃。音乐突然静止，华丽大气的“Do You Know What I mean?”悠扬登场。

当他的歌声渐渐从各个角度包围着在场每个人、充斥着整个录音棚时，Liam走上前站到了哥哥旁边，静心地听着。Noel转头送给他一个微笑，随后用手搂着自己的弟弟，两人索性即兴地跳起舞来，听着自己的音乐作品，陶醉地笑着。

13, Just today he came up to me and gave me a great big kiss (1997) 

Finally, how is the rocky relationship between Noel and Liam, rock's most famous rival siblings? Are they still the battling Gallaghers or has a truce been called in the name of rock 'n' roll?
"Everything's great," says Noel. "Just today he came up to me and gave me a great big kiss. So the tablets are definitely working." 


13. 他今天迎面就给了我一个香吻

最后，不知道摇滚史上最知名的兄弟——状况多多的Noel 和Liam最近处得怎么样？两人还是那样吵吵闹闹？或者以摇滚之名，两人业已休战？

“一切都好得不得了”Noel说道，“他今天刚见到我，就狠狠亲了我一下。看来药丸相当地有作用。”
