[MV] Amos Lee- Colors (Just like heaven)

"Just like heaven", 中文翻譯是"出竅情人", 是由Reese Witherspoon主演的電影, 電影本身很好看, 不過我更喜歡裡面這首Amos Lee所演唱的Colors, 前幾天在看影集的時候無意中又聽到了這首歌, 從youtube上找到了這段影片, 很有味道的一首抒情歌曲

Yesterday I got lost in the circus
Felling like such a mess
Now I’m down I’m just hanging on the corner
I can’t help but reminisce
When you’re gone all the colors fade
When you’re gone no New Year’s Day parade
You’re gone Colors seem to fade

Your mama called she said that you’re down stairs crying
Feeling like such a mess
Yeah I hear you
you’re in the background bawling What happened to your sweet summertime dress
I know we all,
we all got our faults We get locked in our vaults and we stay

But when you’re gone
all the colors fade
When you’re gone
no New Year’s Day parade
You’re gone
Colors seem to fade Colors seem to fade

Yeah

[MV] Aqualung- Something to believe in (Gossip Girl Teaser)

英國歌手Matt Hales以"Aqualung"為名, 在今年(2007)四月發表了他的專輯 "Memory Man", 其中有一首歌我非常喜歡, 叫做"Something to believe in", 旋律中帶點憂鬱的抒情, 有種說不出的味道.

最近在Youtube上看到"Gossip Girl"這部影集的片段, "Something to believe in"則是它的主要配樂, 整段MV還不錯, 分享如下.

"Something To Believe In"

You talk too much.
Maybe that's your way
Of breaking up the silence
That fills you up.
But it doesn't sound the same
When no one's really listening

We stumble into our lives:
Reach for a hand to hold.
And any wonder
We need to find
A certain something, certain.

Turn out the light
And what are you left with?
Open up my hands
And find out they're empty.
Press my face to the ground
I've gotta find a reason.
Just scratching around
For something to believe in:
Something to believe in.

You have too much.
You're spending all your time
Collecting and discovering
It's not enough.
And no matter how you try,
You never find the one you want.

We stumble into our lives:
Without a hand to hold.
And any wonder
We need to find
A certain something, certain.

Turn out the light
And what are you left with?
Open up my hands
And find out they're empty.
Press my face to the ground
I've gotta find a reason.
Still scratching around
For something to believe in:
Something to believe in.

("mumbling" ??)

C'mon, c'mon [repeats til end]

[MV] 令人流淚的聲音- Paul Potts

小人物成功的故事總是最受歡迎的, 尤其是那種默默無名卻擁有極大才華的人.

在英國的歌唱選秀有個叫Paul Potts的參賽者, 是個很平凡的手機銷售員, 不過因為在這個選秀節目上演唱歌劇 "公主徹夜未眠" 之後, 一時間爆紅. 他的聲音非常的特殊, 會有種穿透人心的感覺.

我相信這個人應該蠻多人都聽過, 不過我一直到最近才發現音質較好的MV版本, 每次聽還是每次都有起雞皮疙瘩的感受..

這是Paul Potts在初賽時一鳴驚人的表現:





這是重新演唱經典名曲"Time to Say Goodbye"



這是決賽時的"公主徹夜未眠"的完整板

[MV] Avril- When You're Gone

這是最近開始流傳的Avril最新專輯"The Best Damn Thing"裡"When You're Gone"的MV. 在MV裡Avril仍舊是有著招牌的誇張煙燻妝, 唱著典型的Avril風格音樂, 但是少了點rock, 多了點抒情與流行, 很值得推薦的一首歌.



[Avril Lavigne] When You're Gone
   -- from "The Best Damn Thing" album

I always needed time on my own
I never thought I'd
need you there when I cry
And the days feel like years when I'm alone
And the bed where you lie
is made up on your side

When you walk away
I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?

When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day
And make it OK
I miss you

I've never felt this way before
Everything that I do
reminds me of you
And the clothes you left
they lie on the floor
And they smell just like you
I love the things that you do

When you walk away
I count the steps that you take


Do you see how much I need you right now?

When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day
And make it OK
I miss you

We were made for each other
out here forever
I know we were
yeah, yeahhh

All I ever wanted was for you to know
Everything I do I give my heart and soul
I can hardly breathe I need to feel you here with me
Yeah

When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear will always get me through the day
And make it OK
I miss you

悼Zard- 阪井泉水

在昨天, Zard的版井泉水因為意外過世了, 她曾是我在高中最喜歡的歌手之一.

低調卻踏實做著自己的音樂, 一直以來Zard就是這樣的風格, 雖然低調, 但是每次只要一出單曲, 排行榜前三名必定出現Zard的名字.  即使是從不聽日本歌曲的人, 但也一定聽過Zard的作品. 隨便舉個例子, 每首歌都是膾炙人口, "不要服輸" (白鳥麗子片尾曲), "蕩樣的思緒"(寶礦力水得廣告曲), "My Friend"(灌籃高手片尾曲), "Don't You See", "永遠"(失樂園主題曲), "命運的輪盤迴轉著"(柯男片頭曲)...等等

只要前奏或副歌一奏, 阪井泉水的歌聲, 一定會勾起許多人的回憶. 

而她的一生, 從寫真女星開始出道, 再由音樂從新出發而獲得成功, 只是沒想到這樣一個完美的歌手就這樣戲劇性的走了.

-- album: How to deal

When you have to look away
When you don't have much to say
That's when I love you I love you.
Just that way

To hear you stumble when you speak
Or see you walk with two left feet
That's when I love you 
I love you endlessly
And when you're mad cause you lost a game
Forget I'm waiting in the rain
Baby I love youI love you anyway
Cause here's my promise made tonight
You can count on me for life
Cause that's when I love you
When nothing you do could change my mind
The more I learn the more I love
The more my heart can't get enough
That's when I love you
When I love you no matter what

So when you turn to hide your eyes
Cause the movie, it made you cry
That's when I love you
I love you a little more each time
And when you can't quite match your clothes
Or when you laugh at your own jokes
That's when I love youI love you more than you know
And when you forget that we had a date
Or that look that you give when you show up late
Baby I love youI love you anyway
Cause here's my promise made tonight
You can count on me for life
Cause that's when I love you
When nothing you do could change my mind
The more I learn the more I love
The more my heart can't get enough
That's when I love youWhen I love you no matter what
That's when I love youWhen nothing baby
Nothing you do could change my mind
The more I learn the more i love
The more my heart can't get enough
Thats when I love you
When I love you
No matter whatNo matter what

[tATu] Gomenasai

tATu 是一個俄羅斯的女子團體, 他們唱的英文歌有一種特殊的腔調,
Gomenasai是我很喜歡的其中一首歌, 在"Dangerous and moving"這張專輯裡,

俄羅斯團體, 唱英文歌, 歌名是日文, 很有趣的搭配吧..

[蘇打綠] 頻率

這幾個月聽到最棒的國語歌, 蘇打綠樂團唱的, "頻率"
聽到這首歌真的不知道該怎麼講, 套句某個樂評講的, "好聽的離譜"
真的一點都不誇張, 一直讓人沉浸其中的音樂,

                                                                            -- album: 華麗的冒險

幾次悔過 掩埋狂妄的惡魔
感覺卻好像毀棄善良的自我
幾次 脆弱 掩飾 不甘的示弱
這就是我

再說 我也不特別渴求永久
其實我也無法忠於單一感受
靜止了 沉溺了 無聲的滅絕

暈眩

是我拒絕你已清醒的雙眼
是我招喚你眼底的錯覺
就讓我用力砸碎輕聲的諾言
擁抱瞬間

是我用真實的編造了謊言
也是我用殘破的猜測這世界
就讓我回應你已失序的狂野
虛偽瞬間

是我

幾次悔過 掩埋狂妄的惡魔
這感覺卻好像毀棄善良的自我
靜止了 沉溺了 無聲的滅絕

退卻

是我拒絕你已清醒的雙眼
是我招喚你眼底的錯覺
就讓我用力砸碎輕聲的諾言
擁抱瞬間

是我用真實的編造了謊言
就讓我用殘破的猜測這世界
再一次回應你已失序的狂野
我們表演

是我用真實的編造了謊言
就算我用殘破的證實這世界
再一次讓我嚐盡犯錯的甜美
甜美瞬間
是你帶我經過純潔的瞬間
無悔無邪
