9/30推歌~Dolores O'Riordan(桃樂絲) 的「It's You」(專輯『No Baggage』)

小評：

來自愛爾蘭的Dolores O'Riordan，
是位資深的女歌手，
走比較非主流的搖滾歌曲路線，
一開始至少對我而言，
對她實在很陌生，
沒想到上網查了一下她的資料，
才發現她是經典搖滾樂團「小紅莓合唱團(The Cranberries)」的主唱，
小弟我真是有眼不識泰山...
也才知道Dolores O'Riordan是在2005年小紅莓解散之後，
才在2006開始發行個人專輯的。

這次聽了她在今年發行的這張「No Baggage」專輯，
果然很多搖滾曲風的歌曲，
聽著這位主唱Dolores O'Riordan的演唱，
讓我想起"楊乃文"，
也是走非主流搖滾路線的女歌手，
甚至都有一點點歇斯底里和慵懶頹廢的feel~

今天要推薦的這首歌曲「It's You」，
旋律的編排和編曲上都算簡單直接的，
甚至連歌詞也是一樣，
但就是這樣簡單的味，
可以抓得住我的耳朵，
明確輕快的鼓聲，
清脆的電吉他聲陪襯，
Dolores O'Riordan氣音式的唱法，
融合成深山間雲霧飄渺的氛圍，
或者晨間幾近無人的街道，
感覺輕鬆又自在。

It's you
It's you
It's you

You Know you make me feel better
And I knew
I Knew
I knew
When I was under the weather

Where did it all the time go?
Where did it all the time go?
It's you
It's you
It's you

You Know you make me feel better
I remembered the time when we were small
Planting seeds, put it in?quants?
I remembered the time when we were small
We did it all
But tell me Where did it all the time go?
Where did it all the time go?
It's you
It's you
It's you
You Know you make me feel better

It's you
It's you
It's you
You Know you make me feel better
And I knew
I Knew
I knew
When I was under the weather

Where did it all the time go?
Where did it all the time go?
It's you
It's you
It's you
You Know you make me feel better
I remembered driving in that car
Our destiny was never far
I must have lost ten thousand times
But We There
But tell me Where did it all the time go?
Where did it all the time go?
It's you
It's you
It's you
You Know you make me feel better

I could not wait until I grown
I could not wait until I grown
I could not wait until I grown
I could not wait until I grown

I could not wait until I knew
I could not wait until I knew
I could not wait until I knew
I could not wait until I knew

I would love to go but that car
Where Our destiny was never far
I would love to go but that car
But I can't
And come to me today that made me
I wish those things away
Still It's you
It's you
It's you
You Know you make me feel better
Whatever you do
Don't wish your days away
Whatever you do
Take it easy today
Take it easy today

9/28推歌~摩天人的「我等不到妳」(專輯『閃亮的日子電視原聲帶』)

小評：

摩天人...
老實說我也很不熟，
只是在網路上看到有人說是"五人"團體，
這樣而已。

所以，
會推薦這首歌絕對跟演唱者無關，
純粹是因為喜歡這首歌「我等不到妳」的那種行進曲式的節奏，
一個人接著一個人演唱的層層疊起的層次感，
以及整首歌不停地芭樂地重複著這兩段歌詞：

我等不到妳
覺得自己太失敗

我等不到妳
這一切不太意外


簡單而明確的記憶點，
就我聽出來的兩個男聲的聲音乾淨、漂亮且清晰，
其實聽他們的歌不停地讓我想起以前的一個團體"Y.I.Y.O."，
他們也是男子美聲團體，
歌曲的部分也是芭樂地很好聽，
每個人的聲音都挺有特色的，
可惜多年前就解散了。


﹝YIYO - 自然而然﹞



﹝摩天人 - 我等不到妳﹞



作詞:許宇傑
作曲:摩天人

等不到你
是否還等待
別再猶豫該不該
天亮太慢
夢醒了難挨
只剩一個人慘白
那寂寞的夜
發現妳也在線
愛卻沒有隨之而來
字字依戀
換來是空白
感覺被自己出賣

我等不到妳
這一切不太意外
妳的心像懸崖
傷心的我被迫離開
就算如此
我卻愛上這片段
重複著遺憾

我等不到妳
覺得自己太失敗
我一直在懷疑
妳是已經有人做伴
我只好把背叛當做擋箭牌
轉身離開~

我等不到妳
這一切不太意外
妳的心像懸崖
傷心的我被迫離開
就算如此
我卻愛上這片段
重複著遺憾

9/24推歌~Taylor Swift的「Invisible」(專輯『Taylor Swift』)

小評：

Taylor Swift這位新生代的年輕鄉村女歌手，
從小(13歲)就能創作能唱，
長大後加上金色長捲髮、修長身影、漂亮臉蛋、藍色眼珠，
一整個美艷的氣質，
雖然和她走的鄉村歌手路線有一點點不搭，
不過她的歌聲有點類似Carrie Underwood，
就是那種乾淨又亮、又有張力，
衝高音跟喝水一樣而且飽滿有力，
這幾天聽下來，
真的很過癮很享受。

今天要推薦的這首歌「Invisible」，
我很喜歡副歌的部分，
節奏分明，
有點接近念歌但是卻字字透露歌詞想表達的一個女生愛上一個已經愛上別的女生的男生，
道盡無盡的感傷。

She can’t see the way your eyes
Light up when you smile
She’ll never notice how you stop and stare whenever she walks by
And you can't see me wanting you the way you want her
But you are everything to me

And I just wanna show you she don’t even know you
She’s never gonna love you like I want to
And you just see right through me
But if you only knew me
We could be a beautiful miracle, unbelievable
Instead of just invisible

Yeah, mmm

There’s a fire inside of you
That can’t help but shine through
She’s never gonna see the light
No matter what you do
And all I think about is how to make you think of me
And everything that we could be

And I just wanna show you she don’t even know you
She’s never gonna love you like I want to
And you just see right through me
But if you only knew me
We could be a beautiful miracle, unbelievable
Instead of just invisible

Like shadows in a faded light
Oh, were invisible
I just wanna look in your eyes
And make you realize

I just wanna show you she don’t even know you
Baby let me love you, let me want you

You just see right through me
But if you only knew me
We could be a beautiful miracle, unbelievable
Instead of just invisible

She can't see the way your eyes
Light up when you smile...

9/22推歌~Colbie Caillat的「Tell Him」(專輯『Coco』)

小評：

Colbie Caillat陽光般的笑容、甜美的氣質和37度C恰好的微溫歌聲，
很難讓人不喜歡她的歌曲，
今天要推薦的歌曲「Tell Him」走微醺的曲風，
簡單的鼓聲、輕播的吉他聲、Bass聲和四絃吉他聲，
擦出一顆顆跳耀的音符，
Colbie Caillat在這首歌中，
用5%濃度的微醺歌聲，
將這些音符調出一瓶一瓶很溫和的甜酒，
聽著聽著會不由自主的跟著打節拍，
很享受，
很有韻味。

Let me be patient let me be kind
Make me unselfish without being blind
Though I may suffer I'll envy it not
And endure what comes
Cause he's all that I got and
Tell him...

Tell him I need him tell him
Tell him I love him And it'll be alright
Tell him And it'll be alright And it'll be alright

Now I may have faith to make mountains fall
But if I lack love then I am nothin' at all
I can give away everything I possess
But left without love then I have no happiness
I know I'm imperfect not without sin
But now that I'm older all childish things end
And tell him...

Tell him I need him tell him
Tell him I love him And it'll be alright
Tell him And it'll be alright And it'll be alright

I'll never be jealous
And I won't be too proud
Cause love is not boastful
Oh... and love is not loud
Tell him I need him
Tell him I love him
Everything's gonna be alright
Ya, ya, ya, ya... ya...

Now I may have wisdom and knowledge on Earth
But if I speak wrong then what is it worth?
See what we now know is nothing compared
To the love that was shown when our lives were spared
And tell him...

Tell him I need him tell him
Tell him I love him And it'll be alright
Tell him And it'll be alright
Tell him I need him tell him
Tell him I love him And it'll be alright
Tell him And it'll be alright And it'll be alright
Tell him I need him tell him
Tell him I love him And it'll be alright
Tell him And it'll be alright And it'll be alright

9/21推歌~S.H.E.的「鎖住時間」(專輯『愛的三溫暖』)

小評：

S.H.E.成軍至今已經八年了，
算是很神奇的能維持這麼久的女子團體，
想必早就是很多華人心中的華語歌壇名人堂了吧~

她們最經典的地方就在於，
每個人截然不同的個性和聲音，
卻能維持成缺一不可的黃金三角，
溫柔低音、清亮中音和嬌嗔高音，
分開可能不是那麼搶眼好聽，
但是合起來卻彷彿合奏出了世界級的合音，
一種能營造出天堂般夢幻境地的天籟之聲，
"無可挑剔"是我對她們合聲的註解。

當然，
今天要推薦的這首歌「鎖住時間」也不例外，
真心推薦給大家~
一起真真切切地感受幸福甜蜜的感覺吧~



曲:鄭楠
編曲:林於賢
詞:姚若龍

是桃花染紅等待的臉
是鴛鴦弄皺三月的湖水
是春風圍繞 把我們圈在裡面
思緒飛舞成蝴蝶

一並肩哪裡都像花園
一牽手做每件事都像慶典
一談心聊天
走進另一個世界
有夢 就會實現

鎖住 時間 讓感動蔓延
你的 手心 許著盟約
Oh 一起鎖住 時間 留更多紀念
最愛 剪貼 屬於我們 的細節

在不能見時種下思念
任思念開花結果長成眷戀
將眷戀串成 獨一無二的項鏈
吻在 你的胸前

鎖住 時間 讓感動蔓延(讓感動蔓延)
你的 手心 許著盟約
Oh 一起 鎖住 時間 留更多紀念(留 很多紀念)
最愛 剪貼 屬於我們 的細節

RAP
我確定這次不會一眨眼
快樂就剩下照片 幸福就剩下懷念
我聽到真心碰到真心的瞬間
發出了清脆鈴聲 像音樂美得人落淚
說一句肺腑之言讓天聽見
做一件無怨無悔的事讓天看見
會不會天就忘了轉動時間
看著我們的故事嫉妒又讚美

鎖住 時間 讓感動蔓延(讓感動蔓延)
你的 手心 許著盟約
Oh 一起 鎖住 時間 留更多紀念(留 很多紀念)
最愛 剪貼 屬於我們 的細節

鎖住 時間 留更多紀念(留 很多紀念)

9/17推歌~Sunshine State的「Nothing Compares 2 U」(專輯『Sunchine State』)

小評：

Sunshine State(中譯：陽光國度合唱團)是來自加拿大的兩人樂團，
女生主唱，
男生則負責吉他演奏的部分，
這個樂團相信知道的人也不多吧。
光網路上的資料就少得可憐...

但是不得不說，
他們的歌曲真的都很優，
專輯中每首歌曲幾乎都用吉他演奏完整首歌曲，
但是卻都不會嫌單調或無聊，
時而狂放、時而優雅的曲風，
搭配主唱Aleza的靈活、無縫真假音轉換和收放自如的嗓音，
真的讓歌曲活脫脫的彷彿有了生命一般。

像今天要推薦的這首歌「Nothing Compare 2 U」，
雖然是翻唱歌曲，
翻唱Sinead O'Connor辛妮歐康諾在1990年的歌曲，



但是我比較喜歡Sunshine State的版本，
很舒服溫和的旋律，
和優美的歌聲，
這版本比較像女生甜蜜的說出男生很體貼溫柔的話語的感覺，
可以給人好心情呢阿~

It's been seven hours and fifteen days
Since you took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since you took your love away
Since you been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
But nothing
I said nothing can take away these blues
`Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you

It's been so lonely without you here
Like a bird without a song
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tell me baby where did I go wrong
I could put my arms around every boy I see
But they'd only remind me of you
I went to the doctor n'guess what he told me
Guess what he told me
He said girl u better try to have fun
No matter what you'll do
But he's a fool
`Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you

all the flowers that you planted, mama
In the back yard
All died when you went away
I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard
But I'm willing to give it another try
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you

9/16推歌~Sixpence None The Richer的「There She Goes」(專輯『Greatest Hits』)

小評：

Sixpence None The Richer(蓮兒與啷噹六便士)是隻成軍已久的美國老樂團，
至今已十七年的歷史，
雖然中間曾一度解散。
相信很多人會認識他們或知道他們，
是因為他們的歌曲「Kiss Me」搭配電影「姚窕美眉」而一炮而紅。

Sixpence None The Riche -- 「Kiss Me」


不過，
今天要推薦的這首歌曲「There She Goes」，
也是他們的暢銷曲之一，
雖然知道的人我想應該不多。

這首歌是翻唱前英國搖滾團體「The La's」的歌曲，
不過相信是他們把這首歌給翻唱而唱紅的，
這首翻唱曲曲風輕跳活潑，
雖然歌詞簡單到不行，
大部分時間一直重複著「There She Goes」，
不過總能給人的心情引出一種雀躍不已的感覺，
主唱蓮兒甜孜孜的聲音，
就好像草莓加上果醬一樣，
把味道又引出了更上一層。

There she goes
There she goes again
Racing through my brain
And I just can't contain
This feeling that remains

There she goes
There she goes again
Pulsing through my veins
And I just can't contain
This feeling that remains

There she goes
There she goes again
Racing through my brain
And I just can't contain
This feeling that remains

There she goes
There she goes again
She calls my name,
Pulls my train
No one else could heal my pain
And I just can't contain
This feeling that remains

There she goes
There she goes again
Chasing down my lane
And I just can't contain
This feeling that remains

There she goes
There she goes
There she goes

9/14推歌~Taylor Swift的「Teardrops On My Guitar」(專輯『Fearless』)

小評：

我得坦承最近有點熱衷於聽西洋歌曲，
或許是因為最近華語歌曲沒有甚麼令人期待或值得推薦的專輯，
於是我把注意力轉移到了西洋歌曲。

題外話不多說，
今天要推薦的這首歌曲，
演唱者是我第一次推薦，
她是來自美國的走鄉村民謠曲風路線的Taylor Swift，
金髮藍眼珠且氣質脫俗的她，
長得真的超正的，
一開始會以為她走偶像派路線的，
沒想到她發行的專輯中很多歌曲都不假他人之手，
完全是她自己的創作說。
哇~
長得又正又有才華，(點我看粉正的照片)
老天爺會不會太不公平了...
不過其實內心是很雀躍的，
這用菜色的形容詞來講，
可是"色香味"俱全呢~

會注意到她，
其實也是因最這兩天看到新聞，
Taylor Swift獲得了2009年美國音樂錄影帶大獎（VMA）的最佳女歌手音樂錄影帶獎，
開始去聽聽她的專輯，
於是發現了這首「Teardrops On My Guitar」，
曲風比較偏流行曲風，
Taylor的聲音算是溫柔清甜的，
爆發力雖然還好，
但是對歌曲的演唱的口氣來講，
很有個人風格，
我個人偏好一開始的清唱加上一把吉他而已的伴奏，
能聽到最單純的Taylor的聲音。

推薦給大家~~

(P.S.) 想找Taylor現場演唱這首歌的影片，可惜YouTube上好像沒有~CD版本的編曲我個人覺得有點太吵~



Drew looks at me
I fake a smile so he won't see
What I want and I need
And everything that we should be

I'll bet she's beautiful
That girl he talks about
And she's got everything
That I have to live without

Drew talks to me
I laugh 'cause it's just so funny
I can't even see
Anyone when he's with me

He says he's so in love
He's finally got it right
I wonder if he knows
He's all I think about at night

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing
Don't know why I do

Drew walks by me
Can he tell that I can't breathe?
And there he goes, so perfectly
The kind of flawless I wish I could be

She better hold him tight
Give him all her love
Look in those beautiful eyes
And know she's lucky 'cause

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing
Don't know why I do

So I drive home alone
As I turn out the light
I'll put his picture down
And maybe get some sleep tonight

'Cuz he's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart
He's the song in the car I keep singing
Don't know why I do

He's the time taken up but there's never enough
And he's all that I need to fall into
Drew looks at me
I fake a smile so he won't see

9/13推歌~Zee Avi的「Bitter Heart」(專輯『Zee Avi』)

﹝小評﹞：

才隔兩天 (點我看兩天前的文章) 我又忍不住想再次推薦Zee Avi了，
她的歌聲是我最愛的那種醉人的清甜中帶點沙啞的歌聲，
有種柔軟的魔力可以包覆住你的耳朵，
讓你享受、讓你蘇胡。

今天要推薦的這首歌是專輯中的第一首歌「Bitter Heart」，
乍聽之下，
如不看MV,
相信很多人會誤認為是Norah Jones在演唱吧，
Bossa Nova的旋律，
加上靈活又有點慵懶的聲音表情，
讓這首歌水準瞬間似乎飆高到Norah Jones這位Bossa Nova女神的等級。

推薦給大家~~



Sun rays come down as seen when they hit the ground,
Children spinning around till they fall down down down.
I wait for you: it's been two hours now,
You're still somewhere in town,
Your dinners getting cold.
I rest my case you are always this late,
And you know how much I hate waiting around 'round 'round,
Bitter heart, bitter heart tries to keep it all inside,
Bitter heart, bitter heart shadows will help you try to hide,
Bitter heart, my bitter heart is gettin' just a little fragile,
Bitter heart, bitter heart of mine.
And then you come and tell me the same reason as you did yesterday,
So tell me whats her name.
Doo doo da dum, doo doo da dum, doo doo doo doo doo doo da da dum dum, da da da da dum, da da da da dum, da da da da dum.
Bitter heart, bitter heart tries to keep it all inside
Bitter heart, bitter heart shadows will help you try to hide,
Bitter heart, my bitter heart is just getting a little fragile,
Bitter heart, bitter heart of mine, of mine, of mine, of mine, of mine, of mine.
