9/12推歌~James Blunt的「Goodbye My Lover」(專輯『Back To Bedlam』)

小評:

James Blunt這位獨特嗓音的英國歌手,
真的真的很難不讓人注意他的歌曲他的演唱,
能夠沙啞成這樣還能唱的這麼好聽,
不是那種故意壓低嗓子唱出的沙啞,
這樣的歌聲唱情歌,
好像每句歌詞都是在哭訴、在啜泣一般,
用盡生命的去表達歌詞的意思。

就像今天要推薦的這首「Goodbye My Lover」,
聽過之後就讓人對他有種不捨甚至同情他的感覺,
很像幾分鐘前他才剛和女友分手的那種熱騰騰的傷痛,
真的痛極了。

推薦給大家~~

﹝Goodbye My Lover 現場演唱版本﹞


﹝Goodbye My Lover -- MV版本(年輕時的James Blunt)﹞



Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what's mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your hand.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.

[x2]
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I am a dreamer and when i wake,
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd be the father of your child.
I'd spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
And I love you, I swear that's true.
I cannot live without you.

[x2]
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I'm asleep.
And I will bare my soul in time,
When I'm kneeling at your feet.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.

9/11推歌~Zee Avi的「Honey Bee」(專輯『Zee Avi』)

小評:

來自馬來西亞的Zee Avi,
原名Koko Kaina,
才23歲的她擁有的靈騷復古歌聲,
就如同台灣的「Joanna Wang」、英國的「Adele」和「Duffy」和「Amy Winehouse」一樣,
都是年紀輕輕擁有成熟懷舊的聲音
這樣的歌手,
真的很獨樹一格,
辨識度直接破表。

Zee Avi的發專輯的經過,
我就不多說,
交給大家自行點選下面的連結進去觀看,
現在要為大家推薦的她在這張首張個人同名大碟專輯中的「Honey Bee」,
簡單的僅僅靠一把吉他伴奏,
有一點說故事的表演方式,
演唱的是Zee Avi幻想她如果是隻蜜蜂的有趣歷險過程,
Zee Avi時而俏皮、時而靈動的聲音表情,
再加上她那迷人的靈騷歌聲,
將整首歌活靈活現的醞釀到一整個不行,
聽著聽著似乎可以聞到Honey的香甜的氣息喔。

推薦給大家~~

(P.S.) Zee Avi這張專輯的好歌真的很多,建議大家上YouTube多欣賞幾首歌喔~



I am a honey bee
Shown out from the colony
And they won’t let me in
So I left the hive
They took away all my stripes
And broke off both my wings
So I’ll find another tree
And make the wind my friend
I’ll just sing with the birds
They’ll tell me secrets off the mark

But my other honey bee
Stuck where he doesn’t wanna be
Oh my darling honey bee
I’ll come save you
Even if it means I’ll have to face the queen

So I’ll come prepared
My new friends say they would help me
Get my loved one back
They say it isn’t right
The bees have control of your mind
But I choose not to believe that
So we’ll meet in the darkness of the night
And I’ll promise I will be there on time
We’ll be guided by my new friends the butterflies
Bring us back to our own little hive

Oh my other honey bee
No longer stuck where he doesn’t wanna be
Oh my darling honey bee
I have saved you
And now that you’re with me
We can make our own honey

9/10推歌~蔡健雅的「Only Love」(專輯『若你碰到他』)

小評:

蔡健雅這樣優質女聲又能創作的才女,
每回推出的專輯想當然爾的水準會高出一般市面上的水準,
也因此今天要推薦的這首歌曲「Only Love」,
同樣來自上周(9/2)已經推薦過的歌曲「拋物線」(點我看文章) 的同張專輯「若你碰到他」。

「Only Love」是一首輕快寫意的小品歌曲,
我很喜歡的是吉他在這首歌中超活潑的演奏,
似乎將音符注入了魔力,
讓音符可以在空氣中不停的到處活蹦亂跳,
將整個氛圍舞弄的輕飄飄,
心情也跟著被勾了出來,
一起擺動了起來。

「Only Love」曲風走幸福甜蜜的路線,
蔡健雅一派輕鬆的唱法,
似乎更將幸福給具體化一般,
聽一聽之後,
睜開眼似乎可以看見"幸福"兩個字,
伸出雙手就可以抓住。

09/04推歌~Whitney Houston的「I Look To You」(專輯『I Look To You』)


小評:

現年已經46歲的惠妮阿姨,
終於在今年八月底(2009/08/31)在睽違七年之後再度發行全新專輯了,
哇...
七年耶...
現在也都這麼多歲數了,
還能夠發行專輯,
可見不僅是Whitney嗓子保養的好,
而且還有許多人對她的"復出"的一種期待,
畢竟Whitney這樣圓潤飽滿、厚實又能兼具優美的嗓音,
在歌壇真的不多見。

今天要推薦的這首和專輯名稱相同的「I Look To You」,
又讓人想起多年前Whitney Huston的成名歌曲「I Will Always Love You」,
氣勢磅礡的歌聲,
排山倒海般的情感波瀾,
但唱起副歌的 I Look To You 時,
又能瞬間轉化為優美的彩帶在空中畫出美麗的弧線。

聽惠妮阿姨唱歌真的很享受~薑果然還是老的辣~推薦給大家~



As I lay me down,
heaven hear me now.
I'm lost without a cause
after giving it my all.

Winter storms have come
and darkened my sun.
After all that I've been through
Who on earth can I turn to?

[Refrain]
I look to you.
I look to you.
After all my strength is gone,
in you I can be strong
I look to you.
I look to you.
And when melodies are gone,
in you I hear a song.
I look to you.

About to lose my breathe,
there's no more fighting left,
Sinking to rise no more,
searching for that open door.

And every road that I've taken
lead to my regret.
And I don't know if I'm going to make it.
Nothing to do but lift my head
[I Look To You lyrics on http://lyricsmusicvideo.blogspot.com ]

[Refrain]
I look to you.
I look to you.
After all my strength is gone,
in you I can be strong
I look to you.
I look to you.
And when melodies are gone,
in you I hear a song.
I look to you.

My levees are broken
My walls have come
tumbling down on me

The rain is falling.
Defeat is calling.
I need you to set me free.

Take me far away from the battle.
I need you.
Shine on me.

[Refrain]
I look to you.
I look to you.
After all my strength is gone,
in you I can be strong
I look to you.
I look to you.
And when melodies are gone,
in you I hear a song.
I look to you.

09/03推歌~Carrie Underwood的「I Told You So」(專輯『Carnival Ride』)

小評:

繼上個月中(08/12)推薦Carrie Underwood的「I Know You Won't」之後,
今天同樣地要推薦同一張專輯中的另一首歌「I Told You So」,
這首歌和「I Know You Won't」有點異曲同工,
都是在唱到副歌的時候,
再一次地被她那超清亮、有張力和晶瑩剔透的歌聲,
把我的雞皮疙瘩都震得掉光光,
頭皮也酥麻了...

ㄜ...
講得有點過頭,
總之在副歌時,
當Carrie Underwood唱到下面這段:

I told you so, but you had to go
Now I've found somebody new
And you will never break my heart in two again


總能用她那有點尖但又兼含圓潤的聲音,
將這首哀傷的情歌那淡淡的哀愁情緒給適當的表現出來,
聽著聽著會不可自拔地陷入那黑洞般的致命吸引力。

推薦給大家~要細細聆聽喔~


聽歌請按我 (因YouTube停止嵌入)


Verse 1
Suppose I called you up tonight
And told you that I love you
And suppose I said I want to come back home
And suppose I cried and said I think I finally learned my lesson
And Im tired of spending all my time alone
If I told you that I realized you're all I ever wanted
And it's killing me to be so far away
Would you tell me that you love me too
And would we cry together
Or would you simply laugh at me and say...

Chorus
I told you so, Oh I told you so
I told you some day you would come crawling back
And asking me to take you in
I told you so, but you had to go
Now I've found somebody new
And you will never break my heart in two again

Verse 2
If I got down on my knees
And told you I was yours forever
Would you get down on yours too and take my hand
Would we get that old-time feeling
Would we laugh and talk for hours
The way we did when our love first began
Would you tell me that you've missed me too
And that you've been so lonely
And you've waited for the day that I returned
And we'd live and love forever
And that I'm your one and only
Or would you say the tables finally turned

would you say...

09/02推歌~蔡健雅的「拋物線」(專輯『若你碰到他』)

小評:

曾拿下第十七屆和第十九屆金曲獎歌后,
以及入圍第二十屆金曲獎歌后的蔡健雅,
演唱實力已經無須多做解釋,
另外,
除了幫自己的專輯創作詞曲,
也為其他歌手創作了許許多多的歌曲,
甚至有些是膾炙人口的經典曲目,例如:王菲的"打錯了",
這位才華洋溢的才女真的是歌壇不可多得的女聲。

今天要推薦的這首歌「拋物線」,
是來自上個月底才發行的全新專輯,
第一次聽整張專輯一次就喜歡上的就是這首,
旋律說起來有一點點芭樂,
表面淡淡哀愁但深層卻久久不能自己的氛圍,
是我愛的這個味。

副歌時唱到"拋物線"這句歌詞,
轉假音的唱法有勾人的效果,
而唱到"真真切切"採漸進式或堆疊的唱法,
挖...
整個情感的延伸流暢又無止盡。

推薦給大家~



作詞:小寒
作曲:蔡健雅
編曲:蔡健雅/Doug Petty
製作:蔡健雅

我確實說 我這樣說 我不在乎結果
我對你說 我有把握 成功例子好多
人們虛假又造作 總愛得不溫不火
我們用真心就不會有差錯
我沒想過我會難過 你竟然離開我

*愛沿著 拋物線
 離幸福 總降落得差一點
 流著血心跳 卻不曾被心痛消滅
 真真切切

 青春的 拋物線
 把未來 始於相遇的地點
 至高後才了解
 世上月圓月缺只是錯覺*

我好想說 我只想說 我不要這後果
可是你說 相對來說 走開是種解脫
當初親密的動作 變成當下的閃躲
感情的過程出了什麼差錯
我沒想過我會難過 你終於離開我

REPEAT**

至高後才了解 世上月圓月缺只是錯覺

09/01推歌~瑤瑤的「來不及說再見」(專輯『愛的抱抱』)

小評:

請大家不要懷疑,
今天要推薦的這首歌,
真的就是那位因為替「殺online」拍廣告,
以一句「殺很大!」一炮而紅的「瑤瑤」- 郭書瑤。

天使般臉孔、魔鬼般的身材(F罩杯)和精靈般的嗲聲,
幾乎是集合完美女人的優點,
她這次要出唱片,
相信很多人都是用"看笑話"的心態在看著,
只不過,
這次希望大家能用比平常低一點點的標準來聽這首「來不及說再見」,
瑤瑤的歌聲在這首歌中,
有著和講話很不一樣的聲音,
一種甜美堅定的聲音,
也因為這首歌的詞是針對瑤瑤和她爸爸之間的關係,
因此聽著瑤瑤唱這首歌格外的有種哀傷和不捨的感覺。

抱持著好奇心聽聽瑤瑤的歌聲吧~推薦給大家~



作詞:吳本緯
作曲:陳孟奇

下過雨的藍天 彩虹浮現你的臉
那是小時候 被你抱著來到海邊
海風很鹹 幸福很甜
寬闊的肩 任我撒嬌又賴又黏

孤單單的黑夜 星星映照你雙眼
那是你走後 望著窗外孤枕難眠
眼淚很鹹 幸福走味
回憶無限 只能透過字裡行間

你離開的那一天 匆忙間 來不及說再見
失去你的這些年 沒改變 數不完的思念
是玩笑還是考驗 我們緣分那麼淺
好想許一個願 讓我再見你一面

孤單單的黑夜 星星映照你雙眼
那是你走後 望著窗外孤枕難眠
眼淚很鹹 幸福走味
回憶無限 只能透過字裡行間

你離開的那一天 匆忙間 來不及說再見
失去你的這些年 沒改變 數不完的思念
是玩笑還是考驗 我們緣分那麼淺
好想許一個願 牽你的手回從前

你離開的那一天 匆忙間 來不及說再見
失去你的這些年 沒改變 數不完的思念
是玩笑還是考驗 我們緣分那麼淺
好想許一個願 要一個有你的永遠

8/31推歌~Colbie Caillat的「Fallin' For You」(專輯『Breakthrough』)

小評:

來自美國加州的金髮女孩「Colbie Caillat」,
甜美可人、陽光閃耀般的笑容,
是她一直以來給人的印象,
她的歌曲走流行民謠 (是我喜愛的曲風之一),
歌聲中低音是她的擅長音域,
飆高音、極悲苦哭腔或轉來轉去的轉音都不是她吃飯的所在,
她的歌聲充滿清晨清晰的氣息、溫暖的陽光和舒服的微風。

就如今天要推薦的這首「Fallin' For You」,
幸福洋溢的感覺充斥整首歌曲,
有點甜蜜和害羞的情緒不時地從歌聲中透露出來,
這首歌曲帶給人心情上更多的昇華,
生活上更豐富的色彩。

推薦給大家~



I don't know but
I think I maybe
Fallin' for you
Dropping so quickly
Maybe I should
Keep this to myself
Waiting 'til I
Know you better

I am trying
Not to tell you
But I want to
I'm scared of what you'll say
So I'm hiding what I'm feeling
But I'm tired of
Holding this inside my head

I've been spending all my time
Just thinking about ya
I don't know where to
I think I'm fallin' for you
I've been waiting all my life
And now I found ya
I don't know where to
I think I'm fallin' for you
I'm fallin' for you

As I'm standing here
And you hold my hand
Pull me towards you
And we start to dance
All around us
I see nobody
Here in silence
It's just you and me

I'm trying
Not to tell you
But I want to
I'm scared of what you'll say
So I'm hiding what I'm feeling
But I'm tired of
Holding this inside my head

I've been spending all my time
Just thinking about ya
I don't know where to
I think I'm fallin' for you
I've been waiting all my life
and now I found ya
I don't know where to
I think I'm fallin' for you
I'm fallin' for you

Oh I just can't take it
My heart is racing
The emotions keep spinning out

I've been spending all my time
Just thinking about ya
I don't know where to
I think I'm fallin' for you
I've been waiting all my life
and now I found ya
I don't know where to
I think I'm fallin' for you
I'm fallin' for you
I think I'm fallin' for you

I can't stop thinking about it
I want you all around me
And now I just can't hide it
I think I'm fallin' for you (x2)

I'm fallin' for you

Ooohhh
Oh no no
Oooooohhh
Oh I'm fallin' for you

8/27推歌~四月與盒子的「小事情」(專輯『丁亥筆記』)

小評:

「四月與盒子」是來自北京的兩人團體,
一男(Box)一女(April)的組合並不多見,
台灣只有JS兄妹和他們是一樣的類型,
女生是主唱,
男生則是吉他手。

這首歌曲走輕快活潑的小品風格,
我很喜歡這首歌的吉他伴奏部分,
吉他彈得很行雲流水,
吉他聲清脆悅耳,
加上主唱April甜美嬌嗔的歌聲為這首歌作了輕柔的詮釋。

推薦給大家~~



你說你和我之間都是小事情
 就算有再多爭辯都沒有關係
 你說的每一句話我都當作治理名句
 我的小情緒柔化成小聰明
 我們之間並不需要小心翼翼
 隔著不同的外衣能洞悉對方誠摯的心機
 你總是突然襲擊給我驚喜我明白不容易
 你越故作神秘我越滿心歡喜
 我跟著你 一步也不會停
 不願意錯過每一幅沿途風景
 沒什麼能代替你給我的勇氣
 小的事情大的道理累積的點滴
 
 我們之間並不需要小心翼翼
 隔著不同的外衣能洞悉對方誠摯的心機
 你總是突然襲擊給我驚喜我明白不容易
 你越故作神秘我越滿心歡喜
 你要我跟著你 一步一步珍重前行
 執意緊握彼此溫熱的手心
 留下篇篇回憶慢慢溫習
 DA.....

8/26推歌~Edwina Hayes的「Feels Like Home」(專輯『My Sister’s Keeper - Music From The Motion Picture(姊姊的守護者電影原聲帶)』)

小評:

Edwina Hayes是位來自英國的女聲,
1973年出生的她,
算有點年紀(or 資歷)的女歌手,
不過活耀的範圍似乎不大,
都僅止於英國這個島嶼,
而且也沒有大唱片公司相中替她發片。

幸運的是,
這次在電影「My Sister's Keeper(姊姊的守護者電影原聲帶)」的電影原聲帶中,
收錄了Edwina Hayes的演唱的「Feels Like Home」,
也得以讓她的歌聲散播出英倫半島以外地方。

這首「Feels Like Home」給人沉靜的力量,
給人堅定的信念,
給人簡單和平凡中的不凡思緒,
歌曲簡單的吉他伴奏,
完全交由Edwina Hayes的聲線去勾勒出一幅幅壯闊的美麗景色,
整首歌聽下來會帶人一種洗滌身上和心靈上所有汙泥的神奇力量。

推廌給大家~



Somethin' in your eyes, makes me wanna lose myself
Makes me wanna lose myself, in your arms
There's somethin' in your voice, makes my heart beat fast
Hope this feeling lasts, the rest of my life

If you knew how lonely my life has been
And how long I've been so alone
And if you knew how I wanted someone to come along
And change my life the way you've done

It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I come from
It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

A window breaks, down a long, dark street
And a siren wails in the night
But I'm alright, 'cause I have you here with me
And I can almost see, through the dark there is light

Well, if you knew how much this moment means to me
And how long I've waited for your touch
And if you knew how happy you are making me
I never thought that I'd love anyone so much

It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way the back where I come from
It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong
