“I Finally Found Someone”是1996年电影“越爱越美丽”(The Mirror Has Two Faces)中脍炙人口的歌曲。这部电影由擅长演绎爱情文艺片，横跨影视歌坛及舞台剧的多才多艺常青女将Barbra Streisand自导自演，而由她和 Bryan Adams深情对唱的这首插曲特别力邀王牌制作人David Foster担纲制作，打造出了20世纪90年代的抒情歌曲经典之作。Bryan沙哑粗犷的嗓音和Barbra的温暖富有张力的歌喉相得益彰，跌宕起伏的舒缓旋律由钢琴缓缓引出，直泻心底，互诉衷情。

来自爱尔兰都柏林的Damien Rice,以他充满清脆、力道的广度音域,一听上瘾的磁性嗓音的新式音乐风格,早在2001年发行首张单曲"The Blower’s Daughter",便冲上爱尔兰的Top 20.2004年岁末,随着茱莉亚罗勃玆、裘德洛主演的电影【偷情】(Closer)选用 "The Blower’s Daughter" 作为影片开场与片尾的主题曲,Damien Rice的歌曲情绪再度引起另一波的高潮.电影一开场伴随着裘德洛和娜塔利波曼饰演的角色在茫茫人海中眼神的交汇,映入听觉的便是这首歌,大提琴与歌声忘情的交换着彼此的哀愁,爱得深沉,爱得伤痛.缓缓流泻出的声音承载着电影主题对爱情伦理道德的探讨.

And so it is ,Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me ,Most of the time
And so it is ,The shorter story
No love, no glory ,No hero in her sky

I can’t take my eyes off of you ,I can’t take my eyes off you
I can’t take my eyes off of you ,I can’t take my eyes off you
I can’t take my eyes off you ,I can’t take my eyes...
And so it is ,Just like you said it should be
We’ll both forget the breeze ,
Most of the time ,And so it is
The colder water ,The blower’s daughter
The pupil in denial,
I can’t take my eyes off of you
I can’t take my eyes off you
I can’t take my eyes off of you
I can’t take my eyes off you
I can’t take my eyes off you
I can’t take my eyes...

Did I say that I loathe you? Did I say that I wantto
Leave it all behind?

I can’t take my mind off of you ,I can’t take my mind off you
I can’t take my mind off of you ,I can’t take my mind off you
I can’t take my mind off you ,I can’t take my mind...
My mind...my mind... ,’Til I find somebody new

这首耳熟能详的英文歌曲Careless Whisper无论何时都能带给我触动.George Michael的深情演绎在醉人的爵士曲风中带出高潮迭起的感人旋律.熟悉的旋律一次次地结束,又一次次地响起,然而事过境迁,当初共舞的人如今已不在身边,留下的只有内心的伤痛和无尽的悔恨.

2004年,萨克斯乐手Dave Koz与现代R&B/Hip-Hop音乐界的巨星Montell Jordan联手合作,重新演绎了这首1984年的经典华丽歌曲,别有风味.

I feel so unsure as I take your hand an lead you to the dance floor.
As the music dies something in your eyes
Calls to mind a silver screen and you’re its sad goodbye.
I’m never gonna dance again
guilty feet have got no rhythm

Though it’s easy to pretend
I know you’re not a fool.
I should have known better than to cheat a friend

And waste a chance that I’ve been given.
So I’m never gonna dance again
the way I danced with you.
Time can never mend the careless whispers of a good friend.
To the heart and mind ignorance is kind.
There’s no comfort in the truth
pain is all you’ll find.
I’m never gonna dance again
guilty feet have got no rhythm
. . .
Never without your love.
Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd.
Maybe it’s better this way

We’d hurt each other with the things we want to say.
We could have been so good together

We could have lived this dance forever

But now who’s gonna dance with me? - Please stay.
And I’m never gonna dance again
guilty feet have got no rhythm
. . .
No dance
no dance
no dance
you’re gone - no dance
you’re gone.
This matter is so wrong
so wrong
that you had lo leave me alone.

Dave Koz（戴夫•考兹）是著名的萨克斯演奏家，在欧美享有盛誉，虽然在国内听众群中其名气不如Kenny G（肯尼•基），但其演奏水准也是毋庸置疑的。实际上Dave Koz和Kenny G他们演奏的虽然都是萨克斯管，但前者演奏的是次中音萨克斯，而后者演奏的是高音萨克斯，所以在听感方面前者的音色显得淳厚而成熟，Kenny G则高亢嘹亮。Dave Koz从1990年推出第一张同名演奏专辑后便在乐坛确立了自己的定位.其中的一首"Nothing But the Radio On"于1991年作为单曲发行，成为热门的作品。歌曲中演唱部分由名不见经传的歌手Joey Diggs担任，全情投入的撩人歌唱在香醇的萨克斯催化作用下犹为深情动人，
Nothing But the Radio On
Life, shades of blue,
Love was bittersweet till I found you,
Time, after time,
Feelings disappear...

Friend, when we met,
Life was like a joke I didn’t get,
But when you’re holding me,
You make me understand,
What this heart is for...

Now we’ve nothing but the radio on,
We are dancing to a new emotion,
We’ve got nothing but the radio on,
We’re making love in slow motion...

Ooh, one night like this,
Can melt away the lonely emptiness,
Each perfect kiss,
Answers every wish I wish...

There in your eyes,
I can see the years of tears I’ve cried,
And though the waiting game,
Is all I ever play,
It’s time to let love in...

Now we’ve nothing but the radio on,
We are dancing to a new emotion,
We’ve got nothing but the radio on,
We’re making love in slow motion...

Hey girl, oh...

When nothing is right,
We can’t go wrong,
And so tonight,
They’re playing our song,
We’re kiss to kiss,
And heart to heart,
And the music never stops,
Once the love starts...

We’ve got nothing but the radio on...

Hey baby,
Nothing but the radio on,
Ooh... Love in slow motion,
Ooh... Nothing but the radio on,
We are dancing to a new emotion,
Hey baby, nothing but the radio on,
Making love in slow motion,
We’ve got... Nothing but the radio on,
Don’t you know we’ve got,
Nothing but the radio on...

从1995年开始，来自瑞典这个北方国度的清新邻家女孩Sophie Zelmani，便以生活化、发自内心真诚的诗意词句，简单干净透彻却能直接触摸隐藏在心灵深处纤纤情感的音乐，而征服了瑞典、欧陆甚至亚洲的广大歌迷。Sophie的音乐之所以能像她的人一样，情感纤细、纯净亲切而动人，那是因为她的歌直接纪录了她的成长心路历程。这首“Going Home”以甜美优雅的舒心旋律征服了许多人的心，王菲将这首意境悠远的温柔作品翻唱成为“乘客”，无形中帮助Sophie提升了在亚洲地区的知名度。
Going Home - Sophie Zelmani
Not very often have we met
But the music’s been too bad
Can only sense happiness
if the music is sad
So, I’m going home
I must hurry home
Where a life goes on
We’re too old to make a mess
Dreams will keep me young
Old enough to stress
Only mirrors tell the time
So, I’m going home
I must hurry home
So will my life go on
Yes, I’m going home
Going home alone
And your life goes on

Eyes on You (Feat. the Rishi Rich Project)
You can tell your girlfriends about me
It’s about time to get rowdy
You know I wanna work that body
Come work it over here

You can be my brown-eyed beauty
And I bet you see right through me
You can do anything to mr

[Bridge:]
You’re so beautiful
Tonight anything is possible
And you know I just can’t get enough
Of your love, so give it up

[Chorus:]
Got my eyes on you
Won’t you bring that back to me
Got my eyes on you
You know where I’m gonna be
Got my eyes on you
And I see you checkin me
Got my eyes on you
And I like what I see

You can tell anyone about it
Show it off, no need to hide it
C’mon get a little excited
Excite it over here

Don’t stop baby girl don’t stop
I know you really like it when you’re on top
Don’t be shy jus give it up
C’mon girl!

[Repeat Bridge]

[Repeat Chorus]

Uh-oh-uh-oh
Your body’s whining
Uh-oh-uh-oh
Bumpin and grindin’
Uh-oh-uh-oh

I’d Rather Dance with You
I’d rather dance with you than talk with you
So why don’t we just move into the other room
There’s space for us to shake, and hey, I like this tune

Even if I could hear what you said
I doubt my reply would be interesting for you to hear
Because I haven’t read a single book all year
And the only film I saw, I didn’t like it at all

I’d rather dance, I’d rather dance than talk with you
I’d rather dance, I’d rather dance than talk with you
I’d rather dance, I’d rather dance than talk with you

The music’s too loud and the noise from the crowd
Increases the chance of misinterpretation
So let your hips do the talking
I’ll make you laugh by acting like the guy who sings
And you’ll make me smile by really getting into the swing
Getting into the swing, getting into the swing
Getting into the swing, getting into the swing
Getting into the swing, getting into the swing
Getting into the swing, getting into the swing...

(Getting into the swing...)
I’d rather dance, I’d rather dance than talk with you
I’d rather dance, I’d rather dance than talk with you
I’d rather dance, I’d rather dance than talk with you
I’d rather dance, I’d rather dance than talk with you
I’d rather dance with you
I’d rather dance with you

"Otherwise"是Morcheeba专辑<Charango>中的首支单曲。这是一支用琴弦演奏的带着Trip-Hop节奏的怨歌，也是乐队中的两兄弟Paul和Ross的最爱。同时这支曲子稍带Serge Gainsbourg 和Bollywood的曲调以及Jazz-Rock Ballad韵味。Ross对其评价是：“它的速度适中，令人感到失落和惆怅。”流畅的旋律，R&B式的性感节奏，如泣如诉的丰富弦乐，这一切构建出了绝望的寂寞，极具迷人的张力。

Trip-Hop“莫奇芭”Morcheeba

这是一首描述爱情苦楚的R&B歌曲。精致煽情的钢琴编排配合行云流水般的弦乐，衬托出Usher富有爆发力的激情演绎，绝对可以和前辈级的Brian Mcknight甚至是R.Kelly相媲美。Usher的嗓音绵软而富磁性，酿造出类似于午夜催情美酒的韵味，香醇浓郁，回味悠长。

And now your not around

That I wasted we used it to make sweet love.

"You Are"是来自已经解散的荷兰偶像乐队Caught In The Act当中成员Lee Baxtor单飞后的第一首单曲。他的歌声犹如海水般清澈无比，他是个感性的人，每当在电视上看到战争中受难的孩子时，他总会哭泣，总会伤心，这样一个感性的人演唱的情歌自然别有韵味。

You are
I am a knight and you are my armour
protecting me from those that try to hurt me
With your presence around me I feel bold and gallant
Able to conquer anything that tries to stop me
You are my love my angel you are you are
I am a bird and you are my wings
Soft and gentle and yet able to lift me to heights of great exctasy
Carrying me across oceans to lands of paradise
And keeping me warm and cosy when I sleep at night
You are my love my angel you are you are
I am a flower and you are my water
Sweet and cool filling me full of energy
So that I can shine with happiness
For I fear without you I should surely die
You are my love my angel you are you are
You are this poem and I am your pen
Enabling me to write down all my thoughts and feelings
You are the one that can make me laugh and cry
You are all these things and so much more
You are my love my angel you are you are

由具有强烈个性的Brian Molko领军的英国迷幻摇滚乐队Placebo以黑色浪潮的音乐进攻乐坛。他们的音乐似乎有种魔力，能够如迷幻药般带领听者脱离现实世界，拥抱虚无和幻灭。在这首颓废伤感的”The Crawl”中，Brian以自身同性恋者的身份从这个弱视群体的角度把作品演绎得无比脆弱，令人心痛。他飘渺诱惑的声线透出的是冰冷和无助，沉重灰暗的色调显露无疑。

美丽的北欧童话王国丹麦孕育了不少出色的演绎清新作品的音乐人.Michael Leans To Learn的歌曲对于东南亚一带的歌迷已经是耳熟能详,而双人组合Breeze也将把一缕清新温柔的丹麦抒情微风轻轻吹入你耳中.Breeze的两位成员主唱Hasfield及编曲兼键盘手Quang均居住在临海的都市,北欧辽阔无边的自然风光让他们创作出了一些悠扬动听的歌曲.Hasfield在音乐上受到许多美式灵魂爵士的影响,而Quang又十分钟情于英式唱诗班的作品,所有两人结合后所创作的音乐带有一点大西洋的特色,听来让人感到有种沐浴在阳光中的欢愉感觉.听着这首富有亲和力的"Just a Feeling",一股浪漫气息扑面而来,简单质朴而又迷人的情调阐述了人们对微妙情感的看法.

20世纪80年代,英国涌现出了一批优秀的新浪漫主义乐队.尽管他们当中的不少乐队宛如流星般在乐坛转瞬即逝,但是他们留下的一些经典曲目至今仍绽放着绚丽的光彩.Johnny Hates Jazz的’Turn Back the Clock’就属于其中的精品之一.由Clark Datchler (主唱、钢琴)、Calvin Hayes (键盘)以及Mike Nocito (贝斯)三位大男生于1986年所组成的Johnny Hates Jazz,在其短暂却辉煌的音乐生涯中，虽然仅发行过2张录音室专辑,都凭着其干净且帅气的長相以及斯文的打扮，加上其轻柔精致的流行曲风，在80年代中后期～90年代初期虏获了全球无数女性乐迷的心。乐队的音乐主要是以pop元素为主，既有Synth的运用，也有urban的柔美，可以说其音乐的流行元素在当今也不为过时。
Turn back the clock
Another day is ended
And I still can’t sleep
Remembering my yesterdays
I begin to weep
If I could have it over
Live my life again
I wouldn’t change a single day

CHORUS:
I wish that I could turn back the clock
Bring the wheels of time to a stop
Back to the days when life was so much better

Lying here in silence
Picture in my hand
Of a boy I still resemble
But I no longer understand
And as the tears run freely
How I realise they were the best years of my life

CHORUS

You might say it’s just
A case of giving up
No
But without these memories where is the love
Where is the love

If I could have it over
Live my life again
I wouldn’t change a single day

CHORUS

Why can’t I turn back the clock
Bring the wheels of time to a stop
Back to the days
Oh no no
I remember when
Life was so good
I’d go back if I could
Oh oh I wouldn’t change a single day
Don’t let the memories slip away
I wouldn’t change a single day
Don’t let the memories slip away

2001年首次在电台听到Dido的"Here With Me"时，她高昂独特的嗓音给我留下了比较深刻的印象。三年后再次喜欢上这首歌原因却很简单，因为它是我近来疯狂迷恋的一部美国电视剧集<Roswell>的主题歌。这首歌当年随着剧集在美国本土的热播助Dido在美国一炮打响。重新听这首歌时感觉有些不同，Dido自己创作了歌曲，并将电子和流行音乐天衣无缝地结合在一起，中段强有力的电子节奏使歌曲的气势更为磅礴，与<Roswell>的科幻神秘色彩和谐地融为一体。Dido饱满激昂的唱腔和华丽的编曲营造出了迷幻的浪漫，丝丝入扣。

Here With Me
I didn’t hear you leave
I wonder how am I still here
And I don’t want to move a thing
It might change my memory

Oh I am what I am
I’ll do what I want
But I can’t hide
I won’t go
I won’t sleep
I can’t breathe
Until you’re resting here with me
I won’t leave
I can’t hide
I cannot be
Until you’re resting here with me

I don’t want to call my friends
They might wake me from this dream
And I can’t leave this bed
Risk forgetting all that’s been

Oh I am what I am
I’ll do what I want
but I can’t hide
I won’t go
I won’t sleep
I can’t breathe
until you’re resting here with me
I won’t leave
I can’t hide
I cannot be
until your resting here with me

圣诞老人的脚步越来越近了,我们已经可以感受到越来越浓郁的圣诞节气氛了.每年的这个时候,我总喜欢聆听各种各样的圣诞歌曲.其中我个人最喜欢的绝对是这首1984年由George Michael领军的Wham!演绎的"Last Christmas".与其它充满喜悦的圣诞歌曲不同,歌中美妙的旋律带出的却是对过去的怀念,而自己所爱的人的冷酷无情却使一个浪漫圣诞成为了痛苦的回忆.但人总会成长的,在伤痛中成长.这首为大众所熟悉的圣诞经典成为无数人的钟爱曲目,许多艺人都翻唱了这首歌.在这一周里,这首歌将在这里欢迎各位朋友,预祝各位忘却一年中所有不顺心的事,过一个开心快乐的圣诞节.

严寒的冬季，抗拒不了Tori Amos冰冷的歌声。"Winter"诉说着一位父亲对女儿的关爱，期待她能为生命找到新的方向。雪片纷飞般零落的钢琴声延续地舒缓着内心的情怀，平和得几乎没有高潮，悄无声息地把传递出了感人的亲情。婉约的歌声融化了心底的冰块，令人颤抖的寒意也随着消散。

Snow can wait
I forgot my mittens
Wipe my nose
Get my new boots on
I get a little warm in my heart
When I think of winter
I put my hand in my father’s glove
I run off
Where the drifts get deeper
Sleeping beauty trips me with a frown
I hear a voice
"Your must learn to stand up for yourself
Cause I can’t always be around"
He says
When you gonna make up your mind
When you gonna love you as much as I do
When you gonna make up your mind
Cause things are gonna change so fast
All the white horses are still in bed
I tell you that I’ll always want you near
You say that things change my dear

Boys get discovered as winter melts
Flowers competing for the sun
Years go by and I’m here still waiting Withering where some snowman was
Mirror mirror where’s the crystal palace
But I only can see the myself
Skating around the truth who I am
But I know dad the ice is getting thin

When you gonna make up your mind
When you gonna love you as much as I do
When you gonna make up your mind
Cause things are gonna change so fast
All the white horses are still in bed
I tell you that I’ll always want you near
You say that things change my dear

Hair is grey
And the fires are burning
So many dreams
On the shelf
You say I wanted you to be proud of me
I always wanted that myself

He says
When you gonna make up your mind
When you gonna love you as much as I do
When you gonna make up your mind
Cause things are gonna change so fast
All the white horses have gone ahead
I tell you that I’ll always want you near
You say that things change
My dear

又到了12月了，一年当中属于我的月份。想起了Linkin Park的这首“My December”，也想起了过去的种种。淡淡的忧郁旋律和舒缓的节奏轻轻地触动着我的心弦,Chester少有的柔情一面很容易让人感伤。每当听到高潮部分的“And I give it all away”时我的眼眶总会有些湿润。冬天带给我的不仅仅是身体上的寒冷，内心的冰冷更让人在寒风中颤抖。雪莱说：“冬天来了，春天还会远吗？”或许我需要的正是这种乐观和希望吧。

This is my december
This is my time of the year
This is my december
This is all so clear

This is my december
This is my snow covered home
This is my december
This is me alone

And I
Just wish that I didnt feel
Like there was something I missed
And I
Take back all the things I said
To make you feel like that
And I
Just wish that I didnt feel
Like there was something I missed
And I
Take back all the things I said to you

And I give it all away
Just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all away
To have someone to come home to

This is my december
These are my snow covered dreams
This is me pretending
This is all i need

And I
Just wish that i didnt feel
Like there was something I missed

Take back all the things said
To make you feel like that
And I
Just wish that I didnt feel
Like there was something I missed

Take back all the things I said to you

And I give it all away
Just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all away
To have someone to come home to

北欧总是让人自然而然联想到寒冷,在冬季聆听来自冰冷国度的伤感抒情曲不失为一个很好的选择.作为一支极富盛名的芬兰前卫金属乐队,Stratovarius的作品中给我留下最深刻印象的确是异于他们惯常曲风的这首"Forever".3分钟的爱情小调轻柔的吉他在小提琴和悠扬的风琴一点点铺展渲染中缓缓流淌出来,Timo Kotipelto深情忧伤的吟唱在细腻的弦乐中穿梭自如.当所有的狂暴平息下来后,心灵才能得到纯粹的平静和沉淀.

Forever
I stand alone in the darkness 独自伫立在凄冷的夜
The winter of my life came so fast 生命的寒冬铺天盖地的来
Memories go back to childhood 童年的回忆充满馨香
to days I still recall 至今让我难忘怀
Oh how happy I was then ? 噢!那时我是多么欢快！
There was no sorrow there was no pain 没有痛苦 没有哀愁
Walking through the green fields 漫步在葱绿无垠的田头
Sunshine in my eyes 阳光如金跃入眼眸
I’m still there everywhere 无论身在何方 我心永在记忆的深秋
I’m the dust in the wind 我是风中一粒尘
I’m the star in the northern sky 我是北天一颗星
I never stayed anywhere 天涯海角无处停留
I’m the wind in the trees 我只是穿越树叶一缕风
Would you wait for me forever? 你是否会在孤寂的街口等我?

"At The Beginning"为迪斯尼公司1996年出品的卡通片<真假公主>(Anastasia)的片尾曲.Donna Lewis的纯净嗓音和Richard Marx的性感歌喉完美演绎了这首有着美妙旋律和轻快节奏的情歌对唱作品,受到了广泛的好评与赞赏.无需加以过多的评价,歌曲本身值得我们细细品味.

At The Beginning
We were strangers, starting out on a journey
Never dreaming, what we’d have to go through
Now here we are, I’m suddenly standing
At the beginning with you
No one told me, I was going to find you
Unexpected, what you did to my heart
When I lost hope
You were there to remind me
This is the start
And life is a road and I wanna keep goin’
Love is a river I wanna keep flowin’
Life is a road now and forever wonderful journey
I’ll be there when the world stops turning
I’ll be there when the storm is through
In the end I want to be standing
At the beginning with you
We were strangers, on a crazy adventure
Never dreaming, how our dreams would come true
Now here we stand, unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you
And life is a road and I wanna keep goin’
Love is a river I wanna keep flowin’
Life is a road now and forever wonderful journey
I’ll be there when the world stops turning
I’ll be there when the storm is through
In the end I want to be standing
At the beginning with you
Knew there was somebody somewhere
I need love in the dark
Now I know my dream will live on
I’ve been waiting so long
Nothing is going to tear us apart
And life is a road and I wanna keep goin’
Love is a river I wanna keep flowin’
Life is a road now and forever wonderful journey
I’ll be there when the world stops turning
I’ll be there when the storm is through
In the end I want to be standing
At the beginning with you
Life is a road and I wanna keep goin’
Love is a river I wanna keep goin’ on
Starting out on a journey
life is a road and I wanna keep goin’
Love is a river I wanna keep flowin’
In the end I want to be standing
At the beginning
With you

Snow on Sahara

印尼有丰富、古老的音乐传统，及广大的西方流行摇滚乐市场。安谷(Anggun)就出生在这块传统与现代并存的土地上。她的名字在巴厘语里的意思是“梦想的恩典”。以前，安谷将歌唱的梦想呈现在自己的同胞面前，如今，她的梦想扩展至欧洲，希望藉由歌声让世界各地的人更清楚的地认识印尼。

　　安谷的父亲在印尼也是个有名的歌手，从小受其耳濡目染，安谷在9岁时就推出了第一张儿童音乐专辑，12岁发行第二张畅销东亚的摇滚专辑World of Mine《我的世界》，十九岁甚至创立了自己的唱片公司发行印尼乐曲。小小年纪就完成那么多事，安谷开始对人生感到彷徨，她想接受更大的挑战。1995年，安谷离开故乡前往巴黎，希望自己创作的音乐能被更多的人欣赏。很幸运，安谷不久就遇见知名的制作人Erick Benzi。两人一拍即合，经过无数次创作沟通，同名专辑Anggun《安谷》就这样诞生了，而主打歌曲“Snow on Sahara”(雪降撒哈拉)更成为法国、比利时音乐排行榜上的常胜冠军。真正让她风行世界.如今，其已经成为法语歌坛不可忘记的名字。Anggun由摇滚歌手转变为R&B歌手，所以从其音乐元素以及演唱技巧来看，依然可以找到很多摇滚的影子。其另外也非常出色的作品还有 A Rose In The Wind。

在中国，可以欣赏Anggun动人的以SWATCH广告曲《Snow On Sahara》走红全球的广告画面。现代科技和印尼传统乐风的和谐搭配，一定会给你留下深刻的印象。

喜欢Oasis源于他们流行化的悦耳旋律，直抒胸襟的歌词。喧闹的氛围和灰暗的形象是乐队的标志。他们将一切用吉他的吼叫声串起来变成音乐，而他们的挑衅式的讥笑可以和傲慢自大令人瞠目结舌。而这首节奏爽朗，曲调优美的" Wonderwall "为他们赢得了无数的荣誉，是英国歌迷心目中当之无愧的摇滚国度“国歌”。

一直以来对U2的这首反战歌曲“Staring at the Sun”情有独钟。歌曲代表了U2一贯饱满和直接的曲风，歌词中流露出的则是他们对祖国爱尔兰和平的渴望。Bono的声音里藏着不易显露的忧伤，几分辛酸几分无奈全都融入到了一个个感人的音符中，催人泪下。这首经典曲目收录在[Pop]专辑中，成为乐迷心中永恒的摇滚圣歌。

Staring at the Sun
Summer stretching on the grass
Summer dresses pass
In the shade of a willow tree
Creeps a crawling over me


Over me and over you
Stuck together with God’s glue
It’s going to get stickier too
It’s been a long hot summer
Let’s get under cover
Don’t try too hard to think
Don’t think at all


I’m not the only one
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you’d find
If you took a look inside


I’m not just deaf and dumb
Staring at the sun
Not the only one
Who’s happy to go blind


There’s an insect in your ear
If you scratch it won’t disappear
It’s going to itch and burn and sting
You want to see what the scratching brings


Waves that leave me out of reach
Breaking on your back like a beach
Will we ever live in peace
’Cause those that can’t do
Often have to
And those that can’t do
Often have to preach


To the ones
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you’ll find
If you took a look inside


Not just deaf and dumb
Staring at the sun
I’m not the only one
Who’d rather go blind


Intransigence is all around
Military still in town
Armour plated suits and ties
Daddy just won’t say goodbye


Referee won’t blow the whistle
God is good but will He listen
I’m nearly great
But there’s something missing
I left it in the duty free
But you never really belonged to me


You’re not the only one
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you’d find
If you stepped back inside


I’m not sucking on my thumb
I’m staring at the sun
Not the only one
Who’s happy to go blind

三人摇滚乐队Fastball,于1994年成立于德州奧斯汀市,1998年发行第二张专辑[All The Pain Money Can Buy],成功地脱离了摇滚乐的固有模式,在作品中加入了钢琴、萨克斯风、大提琴…等多种乐器,呈现出丰富的音乐性与宽广的曲风范畴.乐队更已以这张专辑中的一曲’The Way’,于1998年4月一举拿下Billboard Modern Rock榜七周冠军宝座，并容获1999年第41届葛莱美音乐奖"最佳摇滚乐队" 以及MTV音乐奖"最佳新进艺人"提名.三名乐队成员包括Miles Zuniga(吉他手/歌手),Tony Scalzo(贝斯手/歌手)以及Joey Shuffield(鼓手).这首"Out Of My Head"同样选自这张成功的专辑[All The Pain Money Can Buy].舒心的钢琴和贝司伴奏衬托出了清新悠扬的迷人旋律,洒脱明快的摇滚节拍使短短两分多钟的歌曲琅琅上口.这首歌曲传递出的信息十分简单:对自己错误行为的追悔.世上没有后悔药,最重要的是如何从自己的错误中学到教训,避免再次陷入误区.

Out Of My Head
Sometimes I feel
Like I am drunk behind the wheel
The wheel of possibility
However it may roll
Give it a spin
See if you can somehow factor in
You know there’s always more than one way
To say exactly what you mean to say

Was I out of my head? Was I out of my mind?
How could I have ever been so blind?
I was waiting for an indication
It was hard to find
Don’t matter what I say only what I do
I never mean to do bad things to you
So quiet but I finally woke up
If you’re sad then its time you spoke up too

如果你从没听说过Tarkan,你大概听过Holly Valance 的"Kiss Kiss".2002年夏初,这位澳洲墨尔本女孩正是凭借这首新潮动感的翻唱曲目一飞冲天,空降了英国金榜冠军后座,成为继Kylie Monigue后另一位出自澳洲肥皂剧<Neighbours>的流行新后.然而又有多少歌迷知道这首热门单曲的最初来历呢?这首歌其实是改自土耳其流行天王Tarkan的"Simarik". Tarkan1972年出生于德国土耳其移民家庭。1986年返回土耳其学习音乐。1993年他发行第一张唱片<Yine Sensiz>，这使他一夜成名。其后他又陆续发行了几张百万销量的唱片，晋身为土耳其的流行歌曲王子。"Simarik"充满浓郁的中东风情并融入了些许西方曲调,体现出了土耳其流行音乐东西合壁的一贯曲风.两个版本比较之下,你喜欢哪个多一些呢?

秋天是伤感怀旧的季节.落叶纷飞时节,我的脑海中总会飘过"Lovin’ You"的熟悉旋律.1975年灵魂女歌手Minnie Riperton以惊为天人的高五度英域唱法完美地诠释了这首经典的作品.如泣如诉的委婉歌喉散发出一种慵懒的性感,款款深情令人动容.可惜这位杰出的女歌手英年早逝,因犯癌症于31岁时就离开了人世,留下了无限的遗憾.这首迷人的歌曲为无数人所喜爱,不少歌手也翻唱了这首歌.其中最出名的要数Shanice上个世纪90年代翻唱的版本,似水的柔情在孩童嬉戏声和阵阵海浪声中不断涌现.以下提供几个不同版本的"Lovin’ You",不一样的风情演绎同样的唯美.

歌词:
Lovin’ you is easy cause you’re beautiful
Makin’ love with you is all I wanna do
Lovin’ you is more than just a dream come true
And everything that I do is out of lovin’ you
La la la la la la la... do do do do do

No one else can make me feel
The colors that you bring
Stay with me while we grow old
And we will live each day in springtime
Cause lovin’ you has made my life so beautiful
And every day my life is filled with lovin’ you

Lovin’ you I see your soul come shinin’ through
And every time that we oooooh
I’m more in love with you
La la la la la la la... do do do do do

Shawn的音乐是荡漾在青绿间的浮云，它用根源的纯朴与本色期待到了主流的最高评价。这首《Sunny Came Home 》是98年葛莱美奖的年度最佳唱片。清新得动人心弦的吉他伴奏，歌手纯净自然的嗓音一如深涧里叮冬流过的清澈泉水，整首歌曲也是这样不染丝尘，流畅动听，是一首极为耐听的民谣作品，然而细细品味却能识出其摇滚的音乐元素。

中秋佳节，推出每周E歌特别推荐——“Fly Me To The Moon”。这首Bart Haward创作的经典歌曲除了应时应景外，另一个特别之处在于这首歌有着N多版本。喜欢这首歌的朋友这一周好好享受，一次性听个够 ^_^



Fly me to the moon

fly me to the moon
and let me play among the stars,
let me see you what spring is like on jupiter and mars.
in other words, hold my hand.
in other words, baby, kiss me
fill my heart with song
and let me sing forever more
you are all i long for, all i worship and adore.
in other words, please be true.
in other words, i love you

喜欢上David Usher的音乐缘于一两年前在MTV电视台看到这首’Black Black Heart’的MV.这位泰裔加拿大原来是一支摇滚乐队Moist的主唱.自从单飞以来,他已发行了三张个人专辑.’Black Black Heart’收录在专辑"Morning Orbit"中.这首歌有着令人过耳不忘的特质.歌如其名,阴暗灰沉正是这首歌的基调,渗透着邪恶和贪婪的快感,沉重的节拍和歌剧式的背景吟唱赋予了歌曲独树一帜的风格,再加上David Usher细腻的嗓音和撩人的演唱,使歌曲具有十分鲜明的表现力和感染力,不失为一首值得极力推荐的佳作.

歌词:
something ugly this way comes
through my fingers sliding inside
all these blessings all these burns
i’m godless underneath your cover
search for pleasure search for pain
in this world now i am undying
i unfurl my flag my nation helpless

black black heart why would you offer more
why would you make it easier on me to satisfy
i’m on fire i’m rotting to the core
i’m eating all your kings and queens
all your sex and your diamonds

as i begin to lose my grip
on these realities your sending
taste your mind and taste your sex
i’m naked underneath your cover
covers lie and we will bend and borrow
with the coming sign
the tide will take the sea will rise and time will rape

black black heart why would you offer more
why would you make it easier on me to satisfy
i’m on fire i’m rotting to the core
i’m eating all your kings and queens
all your sex and your diamonds

black black heart why would you offer more
why would you make it easier on me to satisfy
i’m on fire i’m rotting to the core
i’m eating all your kings and queens
all your sex and your diamonds
all your sex and your diamonds
all your sex and your diamonds
all your sex and your diamonds
all your sex and your diamonds

某些邪恶的东西
从我的手指流进我的身体
所有的祝福所有的伤痛
披上邪恶的外衣我无畏神明
寻找快乐与痛苦
在这个世界我是永生的
我高举自己的旗帜因为我的国家不能依靠

邪恶的心为什么赋予我如此之多
为什么让我如此容易满足
我在燃烧我快要腐烂成灰
我获得邪恶的王威
感到邪恶的快感邪恶的珍贵

邪恶给予的快感
使我开始失控
感受邪恶的精神邪恶的快感
脱下邪恶的外衣我就一无所有
我们向邪恶低头并且借用他的力量
暴风雨即将来临
潮将涨浪更狂世界快要大乱

邪恶的心为什么赋予我如此之多
为什么让我如此容易满足
我在燃烧我快要腐烂成灰
我获得邪恶的王威
感到邪恶的快感邪恶的珍贵

邪恶的心为什么赋予我如此之多
为什么让我如此容易满足
我在燃烧我快要腐烂成灰
我获得邪恶的王威
感到邪恶的快感邪恶的珍贵

节奏蓝调女歌手Patti Austin(佩蒂奥斯汀)于1948年出生在纽约,她年仅4岁就在阿波罗剧院登台演出,60年代末期成为录音室歌手并担任一些歌曲的配唱.80年代,其歌唱事业进入颠峰，其作品获品无数,成为横跨节奏蓝调与流行两个音乐领域的女歌手.90年代开始，Patti Austin在其曲风上添加上了爵士的色彩,但歌声依旧慵懒而闲适.这首歌醇美动情,如咖啡般散发着浓香.爱情与友情或许只有一线之隔,勇敢地迈出表白的一步,一切很可能会因更深层的关系而变得更加美好,just "say you love me".灵动的音符带给你的将是舒心和释怀.
