AC 54. NEW BABYLON 《新巴比伦》| Track 06. Babylon Keeps Moving

《Babylon Keeps Moving》是一首充满童趣与幻想感的未来爵士童谣。歌曲把 Babylon 想象成一座会移动、会变形、会做梦的玩具城市：迷你汽车、机器人鸟、会跳舞的塑料树、戴帽子的紫色小鱼，一切都像孩子手里的未来玩具。音乐以轻盈俏皮的爵士律动为核心，结合大量简短、朗朗上口的英文歌词，并加入带有法语色彩的 scat singing，让整首歌像一场在月亮、星星和霓虹城市之间展开的奇幻游戏。结尾的 “Babylon keeps moving” 象征城市永远不会停留在同一个形态——它不断重组、变幻，也不断创造新的梦。“Babylon Keeps Moving” is a playful, dreamy jazz nursery rhyme set in a futuristic toy city. Babylon is imagined as a living little machine that moves, transforms, dances, and dreams. Tiny cars zoom, robot birds sing, plastic trees dance, and purple fish wear hats. With short, catchy English phrases and playful French-flavored scat singing, the song feels like a child’s imaginary journey through a city made of toys, stars, buttons, and moonlight. The final line, “Babylon keeps moving,” captures the heart of the song: the city never stays the same. It keeps rebuilding itself, changing shape, and dreaming up a new world.BABYLON KEEPS MOVING[Intro — scat]Ba-da, ba-da, boomLa-la, petit luneDoo-be-doo, allezHey!
