[音樂] Shine Down - Second Chance




My eyes are open wide
By the way I made it through the day
I watch the world outside
By the way I'm leaving out today

I just saw Haley's Comet, she waved
Said, "Why are you always running in place?"
Even the man in the moon disappeared
Somewhere in the stratosphere

Tell my mother, tell my father I've done the best I can
To make them realize this is my life, I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance

Please don't cry one tear for me
I'm not afraid of what I have to say
This is my one and only voice
So listen close, it's only for today

I just saw Haley's Comet, she waved
Said, "Why are you always running in place?"
Even the man in the moon disappeared
Somewhere in the stratosphere"

Tell my mother, tell my father I've done the best I can
To make them realize this is my life, I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance

Here is my chance
This is my chance

Tell my mother, tell my father I've done the best I can
To make them realize this is my life, I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance

[音樂] Kelly Clarkson - Already Gone

又是一首由 Kelly Clarkson 所演唱的歌曲, 發行於2009年, 也可以算是她的代表作之一, 不過片中可以發現, 她好像有越來越有福份的趨勢 XD


Remember all the things we wanted
Now all our memories they're haunted
We were always meant to say goodbye

Even with our fists held high
It never would've worked out right
We were never meant for do or die

I didn't want us to burn out
I didn't come here to hold you, now I can't stop

I want you to know that it doesn't matter
Where we take this road someone's gotta go
And I want you to know you couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on so I'm already gone

Looking at you makes it harder
But I know that you'll find another
That doesn't always make you want to cry

Started with a perfect kiss then we could feel the poison set in
Perfect couldn't keep this love alive
You know that I love you so, I love you enough to let you go

I want you to know that it doesn't matter
Where we take this road someone's gotta go
And I want you to know you couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on so I'm already gone

I'm already gone, already gone
You can't make it feel right when you know that it's wrong
I'm already gone, already gone
There's no moving on so I'm already gone

Already gone, already gone, already gone
Already gone, already gone, already gone, yeah

Remember all the things we wanted
Now all our memories they're haunted
We were always meant to say goodbye

I want you to know that it doesn't matter
Where we take this road someone's gotta go
And I want you to know you couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on so I'm already gone

I'm already gone, already gone
You can't make it feel right when you know that it's wrong
I'm already gone, already gone
There's no moving on so I'm already gone

[音樂] The Band Perry - If I Die Young

這首歌是由之前介紹過的美國鄉村音樂樂團 The Band Perry 所演唱的, 發行於 2010 年, 在美國告示牌排行榜最高曾經衝到冠軍寶座, 可以說是他們的代表作之一, 也要恭喜他們入圍了2012葛萊美獎的最佳新人

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn 
Send me away with the words of a love song

Uh oh, uh oh 

Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors, oh and
Life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby

The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had, just enough time

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

The sharp knife of a short life, oh well 
I've had just enough time

And I'll be wearing white when I come into Your Kingdom 
I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger, 
I've never known the loving of a man
But it sure felt nice when he was holdin' my hand 
there's a boy here in town says that he'll love me forever 
Whoever thought forever could be severed by

The sharp knife of a short life oh Well, 
I've had just enough time

So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls 
what I never did is done 

A penny for my thoughts, 
Oh no,
I'll sell em' for a dollar 
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner 
and maybe then you'll hear the words I've been singing 
funny when you're dead how people start listenin'

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

Uh oh (uh, oh)
The ballad of a dove (uh, oh)
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket
Save them for a time when you're really gonna need 'em, oh 

The sharp knife of a short life, oh well
I've had just enough time

So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls

[音樂] Chris Brown ft. Justin Bieber - Next To You

這首歌是由美國創作歌手 Chris Brown 所創作及演唱的, 發行於 2011 年, 他找來知名的加拿大歌手 Justin Bieber 一起合唱這首歌,  Chris Brown 2005 年16歲時, 就發行個人第一張專輯, 並且登上告示牌排行榜的 Hot 100, 小小年紀就一炮而紅, 後來發行的幾張單曲及專輯也都獲得熱烈的迴響, 不過不知道是不是成名過早, 在2009年的時候, 居然把當時的女朋友 Rihanna 揍成跟豬頭一樣, 讓他吃上官司, 也影響了他的名聲與地位

這首歌兩人的聲音配合的非常漂亮, 不論是個人的獨唱, 還是合唱及合音都讓人聽得很舒服, 而且交錯安排得恰到好處

[Chris Brown]

You've got that smile,
That only heaven can make.
I pray to God everyday,
That you keep that smile.

[Justin Bieber]

Yeah, you are my dream,
There's not a thing I won't do.
I'll give my life up for you,
Cos you are my dream.

[Bridge]

And baby, everything that I have is yours,
You will never go cold or hungry.
I'll be there when you're insecure,
Let you know that you're always lovely.
Girl, cos you are the only thing that I got right now

[Chorus]

One day when the sky is falling,
I'll be standing right next to you,
Right next to you.
Nothing will ever come between us,
I'll be standing right next to you,
Right next to you.

[Chris Brown]

You had my child,
You make my life complete.
Just to have your eyes on little me,
That'd be mine forever.

[Bridge]

And baby, everything that I have is yours
You will never go cold or hungry
I'll be there when you're insecure
Let you know that you're always lovely
Girl, cos you are the only thing that I got right now

[Chorus]

One day when the sky is falling,
I'll be standing right next to you,
Right next to you.
Nothing will ever come between us,
I'll be standing right next to you,
Right next to you.

[Bridge]

We're made for one another
Me and you
And I have no fear
I know we'll make it through

One day when the sky is falling
I'll be standing right next to you
Ohh ohh ohh ohhhhh

[Chorus]

One day when the sky is falling,
I'll be standing right next to you,
Right next to you.
Nothing will ever come between us,
I'll be standing right next to you,
Right next to you.

Oh nah nah
Oh yeah
Stand by my side
When the sky falls
Oh baby
I'll be there

You've got that smile,
That only heaven can make.
I pray to God everyday,
To keep you forever.

[音樂] Gwen Stefani - Cool

這首歌是由美國創作女歌手兼時尚設計師 Gwen Stefani 所演唱的, 她在2004年開始發行個人專輯, 在這之前她是搖滾樂團 No Doubt 的主唱, 個人專輯發行後, 就獲得市場熱烈的迴響, 她的曲風走復古懷舊的音樂風格, 偏向1980年代的歌曲節奏與旋律, 雖然與大部分的流行音樂不同, 但是一樣能擄獲廣大歌迷的心

這首歌在各大音樂排行榜的獲得相當亮眼的成績, 懷舊復古的曲風, 輕快的節奏, 配上80年代的音樂伴奏, 在加上她有點甜美, 有點嬌滴的嗓音, 把人帶回那個過往的時光



It's hard to remember how it felt before
Now I found the love of my life...
Passes things get more comfortable
Everything is going right

And after all the obstacles
It's good to see you now with someone else
And it's such a miracle that you and me are still good friends
After all that we've been through
I know we're cool

We used to think it was impossible
Now you call me by my new last name
Memories seem like so long ago
Time always kills the pain

Remember Harbor Boulevard
The dreaming days where the mess was made
Look how all the kids have grown
We have changed but we're still the same
After all that we've been through
I know we're cool 

And I'll be happy for you
If you can be happy for me
Circles and triangles, and now we're hangin' out with your new girlfriend
So far from where we've been
I know we're cool

[音樂] Atomic Kitten - Someone like me



這首歌是由來自英國的女子團體 Atomic Kitten 所演唱的, 她們成立於1997年, 當時可以算是女子團體的黃金時期, 在 Spice Girl 之後, 出現了不少想接班的女子團體, 她們也是其中之一,  在英國與歐洲都有不錯的成績, 在2004年的時候, 因為其中一位團員要回家相夫教子, 所以宣布解散, 雖然在2005年又重新出發, 不過還是沒能回到巔峰的時期, 在2008年正式從歌壇消失

這首歌是她們在2004年解散時的告別作, 在台灣衝到排行榜的第一名, 在英國也有不錯的成績, 雖然後來她們又重新出發, 不過因為成績不是很好, 所以這首歌應該還是算她們的最後告別作吧


Don't let your head rule you heart
Don't let your world be torn apart
Don't keep it all to yourself
Just let all your emotions run free with someone like me
That's the way it should be
Someone like me

I know Its hard when you're feeling down
To lift your feet up off the ground
We make mistakes but doesn't everybody
You don't always have to agree with someone like me
That's the way it should be
Someone like me

We know the story so far (what you want and who you are)
What you want and who you are (Free)
Let all your emotions run free
You don't always have to agree
With someone like me
That's the way it should be
Someone like me
Someone like me

When and where to go, no right to tell me
Acting like you own me lately
Yeah baby you don't know a thing about me
You don't know a thing about me

But I ain't falling back again
Cause I'm living my truth without your lies

[音樂] The Band Perry - Hip To My Heart

這首歌是由美國鄉村樂團 The Band Perry 所演唱的, 這首歌發行於 2009 年, 是他們發行的第一張單曲, 他們成立於2005年, 由3個姐弟所組成的鄉村樂團, 在2009年出道, 發行的首張單曲就衝到告示牌排行榜鄉村音樂類的第20名, 曲風帶有輕鬆的感覺, 在鄉村音樂中加上了一點流行音樂的節奏


I like your lips like I like my Coca-Cola yeah

Chorus:
Lucky who its got me. Who you've got that somethin
Boy I wanna be where you are

[音樂] Augustana - Sweet And Low

這首歌是由美國搖滾樂團 Augustana 所演唱的, 發行於2008年, 收錄在他們的第3張專輯 Can't Love, Can't Hurt 中, 算是他們的成名曲之一, 最高衝到告示牌排行榜的88名, 他們成立於 2003年, 在2005年發行了第2張專輯 All the Stars and Boulevards 讓他們的人氣直線上升, 專輯衝上冠軍寶座, 之後的第3張專輯裡面許多的歌曲更出現在許多的電視電影中, 可惜到了第四張專輯, 銷量整個跌落谷底, 團員也離開, 目前樂團發展呈現停滯的狀態, 也讓人見識到樂團大起大落的現實


這首歌曲調輕鬆, 節奏及配樂都走簡約路線, 加上低沉與高昂嗓音交錯, 低沉嗓音像是在女孩耳邊細語, 也像是在心中默念, 高昂的嗓音就像是在高聲吶喊, 對著女孩訴說心中的想法


Anywhere you go, anyone you meet,
Remember that your eyes can be your enemies,
I said, well hell is so close
And heaven's out of reach
I ain't giving up quite yet,
I've got too much to lose

Hold me down, sweet and low, little girl
Hold me down, sweet and low, and I'll carry you home
Hold me down, sweet and low, little girl
Hold me down, and I'll carry you home

Rain is gonna fall, the sun is gonna shine,
The wind is gonna blow, the water's gonna rise
She said, when the day comes, look into my eyes
No one's giving up quite yet,
We've got too much to lose

Hold me down, sweet and low, little girl
Hold me down, sweet and low, and I'll carry you home
Hold me down, sweet and low, little girl
Hold me down,

And I'll carry you all the way,
You say you're fine
But you're still young, and out of line
All I need is to turn around,
To make it last, to make it count
You're gonna make the same mistakes
That put my momma in her grave
I don't wanna be alone

Hold me down, sweet and low, little girl
Hold me down, sweet and low, and I'll carry you home
Hold me down, sweet and low, little girl
Hold me down, and I'll carry you home

Well I tried to do it right this time around 
Let’s start oveeerr

This love is killing me, but you’re the only one

Right now he's probably slow dancing
With a bleached-blond tramp
And she's probably getting frisky
Right now, he's probably buying
Her some fruity little drink
'Cause she can't shoot whiskey

Right now, he's probably up behind her
With a pool stick
Showing her how to shoot a combo
And he don't know

I dug my key into the side
Of his pretty little souped-up 4 wheel drive
Carved my name into his leather seat
I took a Louisville slugger to both head lights
Slashed a hole in all 4 tires
And maybe next time he'll think before he cheats

Right now, she's probably up singing some
White-trash version of Shania karaoke
Right now, she's probably saying, "I'm drunk"
And he's a thinking that he's gonna get lucky

Right now, he's probably dabbing on 3 dollars
Worth of that bathroom Polo
Oh and he don't know

That I dug my key into the side
Of his pretty little souped-up 4 wheel drive
Carved my name into his leather seat
I took a Louisville slugger to both head lights
Slashed a hole in all 4 tires
And maybe next time he'll think before he cheats

I might've saved a little trouble for the next girl
'Cause the next time that he cheats
Oh, you know it won't be on me!
No, not on me

'Cause I dug my key into the side
Of his pretty little souped-up 4 wheel drive
Carved my name into his leather seat
I took a Louisville slugger to both head lights
Slashed a hole in all 4 tires
Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats
Oh, maybe next time he'll think before he cheats
Oh, before he cheats
Oh

Now that it’s all said and done 
I can’t believe you were the one 
To build me up and tear me down 
Like an old abandoned house 
What you said when you left 
Just left me cold and out of breath 
I felt as if I was in way to deep 
Guess I let you get the best of meeee 

(Chorus) 
Well I never saw it coming 
I should have started running 
A long, long time agooo! 
And I never thought I’d doubt you 
I’m better off without you 
More than you, more than you know 
I’m slowly getting closure 
I guess it’s really over 
I’m finally gettin’ better 
Now I’m picking up the pieces 

From spending all of these years 
Putting my heart back together 
‘Cause the day I thought I’d never get through 
I got over you!!! 
(End Chorus) 

You took a hammer to these walls 
Dragged the memories down the hall 
Packed your bags and walked away 
There was nothing I could say, 
And when you slammed the front door shut 
A lot of other’s opened up 
So did my eyes so I could see 
That you never were the best for meee 

(Chorus) 
Well I never saw it coming 
I should have started running 
A long, long time agooo! 
And I never thought I’d doubt you 
I’m better off without you 
More than you, more than you know 
I’m slowly getting closure 
I guess it’s really over 
I’m finally getting’ better 
Now I’m picking up the pieces 
From spending all of these years 
Putting my heart back together 
‘Cause the day I thought I’d never get through 
I got over you!!! 
(End Chorus) 

I never saw it coming 
I should have started running 
A long, long time agooo 
And I never thought I’d doubt you 
I’m better off without you 

And I never saw it coming 
I should have started running 
I’m finally getting better 
Now I’m picking up the pieces 
From spending all of these years 
Putting my heart back together 
And I got over you!!! 
And I got over you!!! 
And I got over you!!! 

The day I thought I’d never get through 
I got over you…

It's a beautiful night
We're looking for something dumb to do
Hey baby
I think I wanna marry you

Is it the look in your eyes
Or is it this dancing juice?
Who cares, baby
I think I wanna marry you

Well, I know this little chapel
On the boulevard we can go
No one will know
Oh, come on girl

Who cares if we're trashed
Got a pocket full of cash we can blow
Shots of patron
And it's on, girl

Don't say no, no, no, no, no
Just say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And we'll go, go, go, go, go
If you're ready, like I'm ready

'Cause it's a beautiful night
We're looking for something dumb to do
Hey baby
I think I wanna marry you

Is it the look in your eyes
Or is it this dancing juice?
Who cares, baby
I think I wanna marry you

I'll go get a ring
Let the choir bells sing like
Ooh, so what ya wanna do?
Let's just run, girl

If we wake up and you
Wanna break up, that's cool
No, I won't blame you
It was fun, girl

Don't say no, no, no, no, no
Just say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And we'll go, go, go, go, go
If you're ready, like I'm ready

'Cause it's a beautiful night
We're looking for something dumb to do
Hey baby

Is it the look in your eyes
Or is it this dancing juice?
Who cares, baby
I think I wanna marry you

Just say I do
Tell me right now, baby
Tell me right now, baby, baby

Just say I do
Tell me right now, baby
Tell me right now, baby, baby, oh

It's a beautiful night
We're looking for something dumb to do
Hey baby

Is it the look in your eyes
Or is it this dancing juice
Who cares, baby
