[音樂] Britney Spears - I Wanna Go

布蘭妮又來了, 好像很久沒有聽到她的歌了, 倒是蠻常看到她的負面新聞 XD, 這首歌是她2011年的新歌, 曲風有電音的風格, 應該又是一首深受夜店人士喜愛的歌曲, MV 有魔鬼終結者的影子, 內容像是在發洩對狗仔的不滿, 表達她平日被狗仔欺負的憤怒, 希望這次她能夠振作, 不要再墮落了


Lately I've been stuck imaginin'
What I wanna do and what I really think
Time to blow out
Be a little inappropriate
'Cause I know that everybody's thinkin' it
When the lights out

Shame on me
To need release
Uncontrollably

I-I-I wanna go-o-o
All the way-ay-ay
Takin' out my freak tonight
I-I-I wanna sho-o-ow
All the dir-ir-irt
I got runnin' through my mind
Woah

I-I-I wanna go-o-o
All the way-ay-ay
Takin' out my freak tonight
I-I-I wanna sho-o-ow
All the dir-ir-irt
I got runnin' through my mind
Woah

Lately, people got me all tied up
There's a countdown waiting for me to erupt
Time to blow out
I've been told who I should do it with
To keep both my hands above the blanket
When the lights out

Shame on me
To need release
Uncontrollably

I-I-I wanna go-o-o
All the way-ay-ay
Takin' out my freak tonight
I-I-I wanna sho-o-ow
All the dir-ir-irt
I got runnin' through my mind
Woah

I-I-I wanna go-o-o
All the way-ay-ay
Takin' out my freak tonight
I-I-I wanna sho-o-ow
All the dir-ir-irt
I got runnin' through my mind
Woah

Shame on me
To need release
Uncontrollably

I-I-I wanna go-o-o
All the way-ay-ay
Takin' out my freak tonight
I-I-I wanna sho-o-ow
All the dir-ir-irt
I got runnin' through my mind
Woah

I-I-I wanna go-o-o
All the way-ay-ay
Takin' out my freak tonight
I-I-I wanna show-ow-ow
All the dir-ir-irt
I got runnin' through my mind
Woah

[音樂] O.A.R. - Heaven

這首歌是由一個來自美國的搖滾樂團 O.A.R (Of a Revolution) 所演唱的, 這首歌是在廣播中聽到的, 在聽到這首歌之前, 從來不知道有這個樂團的存在, 他們是由五個人在1996年所組成的樂團, 剛出道時並沒有特別的宣傳計畫, 一切都靠他們到處表演, 並且藉著大學生之間的口耳相傳來製造知名度, 沒想到他們的第三張專輯就靠著這個方式成為告示牌網路銷售排行榜的第11名, 真的是太驚人的, 他們在美國大學的知名度相當高, 非常受到大學生的歡迎


這首歌是他們2011年的新歌, 整首歌充滿歡樂的氣氛, 給我一種身處加勒比海的氣氛, 像是要開趴的感覺, 是一首聽了會開心的歌


I’m underneath it all tonight
out my window there’s a million lights
a thousand hearts feeling just like me
man, it feels like heaven out here in the street

I know i got a lot to learn
breaking bottles only left me hurt
played with fire till i burned myself
don’t you know that love’ll bring us somewhere else

so you take the left, I’ll take the right
under arrest, we’re under fire
oh, oh, oh, oh
i don’t wanna go to heaven if i can’t get in
you take the low, I’ll take the high
you lock the gate, i hear the choir
everybody got a problem with the way i live
i don’t wanna go to heaven if i can’t get in

maybe i should take my time
and build this life by my own design
with no direction and it’s in between
everything i love, and everything i need
so bring it back
all i want is understanding
to live my life the way that i planned it
wouldn’t change a thing
man, it feels like heaven underneath my feet

so you take the left, I’ll take the right
under arrest, we’re under fire
oh, oh, oh, oh
i don’t wanna go to heaven if i can’t get in
you take the low, I’ll take the high
you lock the gate, i hear the choir
everybody got a problem with the way i live
i don’t wanna go to heaven if i can’t get in

so raise em up, raise em up
all i ever wanted was a shot at your love
i know and i believe
everything we got is everything we need
love’ll get you higher
it set my heart on fire
i know it’s what you see
don’t wanna go to heaven if they don’t want me

cause I’m no criminal
I’m not your enemy
all i have is life
and i don’t wanna go to heaven if i can’t get in

so you take the left, I’ll take the right
under arrest, we’re under fire
oh, oh, oh, oh
i don’t wanna go to heaven if i can’t get in
you take the low, I’ll take the high
you lock the gate, i hear the choir
everybody got a problem with the way i live
i don’t wanna go to heaven if i can’t get in

raise em up, raise em up
everything you wanted is inside your cup
drink up
love will get you higher

oh, I’m not your enemy
i never met no criminal
and in the end I’d do it again
i don’t wanna go to heaven if i cant get in

oh, I’m not a criminal
yeah I’m no enemy
it’s just the way i live
i don’t wanna go to heaven if i cant get in

[音樂] Katy Perry - Thinking Of You

這首歌是由Katy Perry 一位來自美國的創作女歌手所演唱的, 從她的表演作風實在很難想像她是來自一個基督教牧師家庭, 她以大膽的穿著與表演風格著名, 聽過她的歌之後, 就會忽略了她那大膽的表演風格與穿著, 而被她的歌唱實力所吸引, 她的歌唱生涯一開始並不順遂, 經歷過幾張不成功的專輯以及唱片公司的冷凍之後, 她在2007年開始嶄露頭角, 瞬間爆紅成為美國知名的暢銷女歌手, 這首歌也是她獨自創作的一首歌曲, 雖然樂評的評價不是很好, 不過我覺的旋律還蠻好聽的,  沒有樂評說得那麼糟嘛

Comparisons are easily done
Once you've had a taste of perfection
Like an apple hanging from a tree
I picked the ripest one, I still got the seed

You said move on, where do I go?
I guess second best is all I will know

'Cause when I'm with him I am thinking of you
(Thinking of you, thinking of you)
Thinking of you, what you would do
If you were the one who was spending the night
(Spending the night, spending the night)
Oh, I wish that I was looking into your eyes

You're like an Indian Summer in the middle of winter
Like a hard candy with a surprise center
How do I get better once I've had the best?
You said there's tons of fish in the water, so the waters I will test

He kissed my lips, I taste your mouth, oh!
(Taste your mouth)
He pulled me in, I was disgusted with myself

'Cause when I'm with him I am thinking of you
(Thinking of you, thinking of you)
Thinking of you, what you would do
If you were the one who was spending the night
(Spending the night, spending the night)
Oh, I wish that I was looking into

You're the best, and yes, I do regret
How I could let myself let you go
Now, now the lesson's learned
I touched it, I was burned
Oh, I think you should know!

'Cause when I'm with him I am thinking of you
(Thinking of you, thinking of you)
Thinking of you, what you would do
If you were the one who was spending the night
(Spending the night, spending the night)
Oh, I wish that I was looking into your, your eyes
Looking into your eyes, looking into your eyes

Oh, won't you walk through?
And bust in the door and take me away?
Oh, no more mistakes
'Cause in your eyes I'd like to stay, stay

[音樂] Westlife - If I Let You Go

好久以前的歌了, 今天偶然在廣播中聽到, 讓人懷念當時的青春時光阿, 這首歌應該可以算是Westlife的成名曲之一, 收錄於他們1999年發行的首張同名專輯, 榮登英國排行榜的冠軍, 最近他們要來台灣開演唱會了, 可惜日子挑得不好, 不是假日, 不然可能會跑去看看這個不再年輕的男孩團體, 順便回味消失的青春時光阿~~~

[Shane:]
Day after day
Time passed away
And I just can't get you off my mind
Nobody knows, I hide it inside
I keep on searching but I can't find

[Mark:]
The courage to show to letting you know
I've never felt so much love before

[All (Shane lead):]
And once again I'm thinking about
Taking the easy way out

[All:]
But if I let you go I will never know
What my life would be holding you close to me
Will I ever see you smiling back at me? ([Shane:] oh yeah)
How will I know
[Shane:] if I let you go?

[Bryan:]
Night after night I hear myself say
Why can't this feeling just fade away
There's no one like you (no one like you)
You speak to my heart (speak to my heart)
It's such a shame we're worlds apart

[Shane:]
I'm too shy to ask, I'm too proud to lose
But sooner or later I gotta choose
And once again I'm thinking about
Taking the easy way out

[All:]
But if I let you go I will never know
What my life would be, holding you close to me
Will I ever see you smiling back at me? (oh yeah)
How will I know
[Shane:] if I let you go ?

[Shane:]
If I let you go ooooh baby
Ooooooooohhhhh

[Bryan:]
Once again I'm thinking about
Taking the easy way out
Ooooooooohhhhh

[All:]
But if I let you go I will never know
What my life would be, holding you close to me
([Mark:] close to me)
Will I ever see you smiling back at me?
([Shane:] oh yeah)
How will I know
([Bryan:] if I let you go?)
But if I let you go I will never know
([Mark:] oh baby)
Will I ever see you smiling back at me?
([Shane:] oh yeah)
How will I know
[Shane:] if I let you go ? 

[音樂] Linkin Park - Numb / Breaking The Habit

這兩首歌都是Linkin Park 的經典歌曲, 發行時都在告示牌排行榜上獨占鰲頭, 而且都名列告示牌排行榜的top 100, 在演唱會上把兩首經典歌曲結合在一起真的是很棒, 中間剛好可以透過一段鋼琴的獨奏來分隔兩首搖滾歌曲, 非常特別, 非常棒

Numb


I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
I don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure, of walking in your shoes
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)

I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
I've become so tired
So much more aware
I'm becoming this
All I want to do
Is be more like me
And be less like you

Can't you see that you're smothering me
Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control
'Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart, right in front of you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
An' every second I waste is more than I can take

I've become so numb
I can't feel you there 
I've become so tired
So much more aware
I'm becoming this
All I want to do
Is be more like me
And be less like you

And I know
I may end up failing too
But I know
You were just like me
With someone disappointed in you

I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
I've become so tired
So much more aware
I'm becoming this
All I want to do
Is be more like me
And be less like you

I've become so numb
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
I've become so numb
I'm tired of being what you want me to be


-----------------------
Breaking The Habit


Memories consume
Like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume
I'm safe here in my room
Unless I try to start again

I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize
That I'm the one confused

I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream.
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean.
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright.
So I'm breaking the habit,
I'm breaking the habit
Tonight

Clutching my cure
I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more
Than anytime before
I had no options left again

I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize
That I'm the one confused

I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream.
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean.
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright.
So I'm breaking the habit,
I'm breaking the habit
Tonight

I'll paint it on the walls
'Cause I'm the one at fault
I'll never fight again
And this is how it ends

I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
But now I have some clarity
to show you what I mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So, I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
Tonight

[音樂] Linkin Park - The Catalyst

這首歌同樣來自Linkin Park最新的專輯, 充滿了強烈的電音風格, 整首歌從一開始就以節奏強烈的電音背景開頭, 感覺是一首夜店歌, 這首歌也被電玩遊戲"榮譽勳章"拿來當作遊戲主題曲, 另外也是Discovery頻道實境節目魔鬼訓練營的主題曲, 是我聽過 Linkin Park 的歌裡面,少數電音風格如此強烈的歌

God bless us everyone
We're a broken people living under a loaded gun
And it can't be outfought
It can't be outdone
It can't be outmatched
It can't be outrun
No
God bless us everyone
We're a broken people living under a loaded gun
And it can't be outfought
It can't be outdone
It can't be outmatched
It can't be outrun
No...

And when I close my eyes tonight
To symphonies of blinding light
God bless us everyone
We're a broken people living under a loaded gun
Oh...
Like memories in cold decay
Transmissions echoing away
Far from the world of you and I
Where oceans bleed into the sky

God save us everyone
Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns
For the sins of our hands
The sins of our tongue
The sins of our fathers
The sins of our young
No

God save us everyone
Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns
For the sins of our hands
The sins of our tongue
The sins of our fathers
The sins of our young
No...

And when I close my eyes tonight
To symphonies of blinding light
God save us everyone
Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns
Oh...
Like memories in cold decay
Transmissions echoing away
Far from the world of you and I
Where oceans bleed into the sky

Like memories in cold decay
Transmissions echoing away
Far from the world of you and I
Where oceans bleed into the sky

Lift me up
Let me go
Lift me up
Let me go

God bless us everyone
We're a broken people living under a loaded gun
And it can't be outfought
It can't be outdone
It can't be outmatched
It can't be outrun

[音樂] Linkin Park - When They Come For Me

這首歌也是Linkin Park 最新專輯裡的一首歌, 之前都沒在電台上聽過, 禮拜一在他們的演唱會上才第一次聽到這首很特別的歌, 一開始是以空襲警報的聲音開場, 接著配上一種有非洲音樂fu的鼓聲, 後面又有一種中東音樂的嘶吼聲, 最後又有一段很像是回教在禮拜的時候清真寺廣播的聲音, 實在是很特別的一首歌, 聽過之後旋律就一直迴繞在腦海

I am not a pattern that we follow
The pill that I'm on is a tough one to swallow
I'm not a criminal, not a role model
Not a born leader, I'm a tough act to follow

I am not the fortune and the game
Or the same person telling you to forfeit the game
I came in the ring like a dog on a chain
And found out the underbelly's sicker than it seems
And it seems ugly but it can get worse
Because even a blueprint is a gift and a curse
Because once you got a theory of how the thing works
Everybody wants the next thing to be like the first
And I'm not a robot, I'm not a monkey
I will not dance even if the beat's funky
Opposite of lazy, far from a punk
Stop talking and start trying to catch up motherfucker

And all the people say
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ahh)
Try and catch up motherfucker
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ahh)

Pac said money changes situation
Big said it increase the complication
Kaine said don't step I ain't the one
Chuck said an uzi weighs a motherfucking tone

And I'm just a student of the game that they taught me
Rocking every stage and every place that they brought me 
I'm awfully underrated but pay me to correct it
And so it ain't mistaken I'm gonna state it for the record
I am the opposite of where
I got this a weak
Oppositea slack sending them a heat
Sending them a crack closest to a peak
Far from a punk Ya'll better start trying to catch up motherfucker

And all the people say
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ahh)
Try and catch up motherfucker
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ahh)

But when they come for me
Come for me, I'll be gone
But when they come for me
Come for me, I'll be gone
Oh when they come for me
Come for me, I'll be gone
And all the people say
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ahh)
Try to catch up motherfucker
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ahh)
And all the people say
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ahh)
Try to catch up motherfucker
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ahh)

[音樂] Linkin Park - Iridescent

這是Linkin Park 為變形金剛3所做的主題曲, 是繼變形金剛1.2集之後, 連續第三次由Linkin Park 為這部電影打造主題曲, 這首歌的內容是配合第三集的劇情內容所寫的, 用Linkin Park 少見的抒情搖滾曲風, 為這部電影配上一首精采的主題曲

When you were standing in the wake of devastation
When you were waiting on the edge of the unknown
And with the cataclysm raining down
Insides crying 'Save me now,'
You were there, impossibly alone

Do you feel cold and lost in desperation?
You build up hope, but failure's all you've known
Remember all the sadness and frustration
And let it go...
Let it go...

And in a burst of light that blinded every angel
As if the sky had blown the heavens into stars
You felt the gravity of tempered grace
Falling into empty space
No one there to catch you in their arms

Do you feel cold and lost in desperation?
You build up hope, but failure's all you've known
Remember all the sadness and frustration
And let it go...
Let it go...

(Instrumental)

Do you feel cold and lost in desperation?
You build up hope, but failure's all you've known
Remember all the sadness and frustration
And let it go...
Let it go...
Let it go...
Let it go...
Let it go...
Let it go...

Do you feel cold and lost in desperation?
You build up hope, but failure's all you've known
Remember all the sadness and frustration
And let it go...
Let it go...

[音樂] Linkin Park - Burning In The Skies

2011/9/19是Linkin Park來台北開演唱會的日子, 也是我第一次到現場看他們的演唱會, 之前他們來過幾次, 一直想要去看都沒有行動, 這次總算下定決心把票訂下去, 現場真的是人山人海, 超high, 連南港展覽館的地板都在晃動, 就像是地震一樣, 可惜離舞台有點遠, 看到的人都超小一個.

這首歌應該算是他們比較新的歌, 跟Waiting For the End是同一張專輯裡面的歌, 給人一種新的感覺, 覺得跟以前的Linkin Park不一樣, 在前面的部分用簡單的伴奏以及強烈的節奏來帶出這首歌, 然後逐漸的加入其他伴奏, 最後再以簡單的伴奏結尾, 讓人見識到Linkin Park 主唱的功力, 他不是只會吼一吼而已

live 版本

I use the dead would to make the fire rise
The blood of innocence burning in the skies
I filled my cup with the rising of the sea
And poured it out in an ocean of debris

Oooh, I’m swimming in the smoke
Of bridges I have burned
So don’t apologize
I’m losing what I don’t deserve
What I don’t deserve

We held our breathe when the clouds began to form
But you were lost in the beating of the storm
But in the end we were meant to be apart
In separate chambers of the human heart

Ooo I’m swimming in the smoke of bridges I have burned
So don’t apologize
I’m losing what I don’t deserve
It’s in the blackened bones of bridges I have burned
So don’t apologize
I’m losing what I don’t deserve
What I don’t deserve

I’m swimming in the smoke of bridges I have burned
So don’t apologize I’m losing what I don’t deserve
The blame is mine alone for bridges I have burned
So don’t apologize I’m losing what I don’t deserve
What I don’t deserve
What I don’t deserve oooh whoo oh
What I don’t deserve

Here’s the dead wood to make the fire rise
The blood of innocence burning in the skies

[音樂] Ross Copperman - Holding On And Letting Go

這首歌是在CSI NY 第七季裡面聽到的, 是由 Ross Copperman 所演唱, 一位來自美國的創作歌手, 他在2002年出道, 他的歌曲被很多電視劇採用, 不過好像都沒有因為電視劇播放而大紅, 有點奇怪,  可能是他的歌要配上劇情, 畫面才能夠打動人心吧


Is anybody out there?
Is anybody listening?
Does anybody really know,
If it's the end or the beginning?

The quiet rush from one breath,
Is all we're waiting for
Sometimes I want my taking,
Changes everyone before

It's everything you wanted, it's everything you don't
It's one door swinging open and one door swinging closed
Some prayers find the answer, some prayers never know
We're holding on, and letting go.

Sometimes we're holding angels,
And we never even know
Don't know if we'll make it,
Or we know, we just can't let it show

It's everything you wanted, it's everything you don't
It's one door swinging open and one door swinging closed
Some prayers find an answer, some prayers never know
We're holding on and letting go
Yeah, letting go, oho

It's everything you wanted, it's everything you don't
It's one door swinging open and one door swinging closed
Some prayers find an answer, some prayers never know
We're holding on and letting go..

Woa, woa......Woa......
Woa, woa......Woa......

It's everything you wanted, it's everything you don't
It's one door swinging open and one door swinging closed
Some prayers find an answer, some prayers never know
We're holding on, and letting go..

[音樂] Bad Meets Evil ft. Bruno Mars - Lighters

這首歌是由Bad Meets Evil 加上 Bruno Mars 所演唱的, Bad Meets Evil 應該可以算是饒舌界的王牌組合吧, 由Royce da 5'9"" 加上 Eminem 所組成 , 兩個人都算是饒舌界的大咖, 一起組成團體, 根本就是作弊阿, 他們兩個人從1998年開始組成團體合作, 並且發行了幾首單曲跟專輯, 在2000年的時候他們決定解散, 直到今年才又重新組團發行新單曲, 這首歌是他們找來 Bruno Mars 合作, 在重新出發之後發行的第二張單曲


[Bruno Mars]
This one's for you and me, 
living out our dreams 
We're all right where we should be 
Lift my arms out wide I open my eyes 
And now all I wanna see 
Is a sky full of lighters 
A sky full of lighters


[Eminem]
By the time you hear this I will have already spiralled up 
I would never do nothing to let you cowards fuck my world up 
If I was you, I would duck, or get struck like lightening, 
Fighters keep fighting, put your lighters up, point em' skyward uh 
Had a dream I was king, I woke up, still king 
This rap game's nipple is mine for the milking, 
Till nobody else even fucking feels me, till' it kills me 
I swear to god I'll be the fucking illest in this music 
There is or there ever will be, disagree? 
Feel free, but from now on I'm refusing to ever give up 
The only thing I ever gave up is using. No more excuses. 
Excuse me if my head is too big for this building 
And pardon me if I'm a cocky prick but you cocks are slick 
Poppin shit on how you flipped ya life around, crock-of-shit 
Who you dicks try to kid, flipped dick, you did the opposite 
You stayed the same, cause cock backwards is still cock you pricks 
I love it when I tell em shove it 
Cause it wasn't that long ago when Marshall sat, luster lacked, flustered 
Cuz he couldn't cut mustard, muster up nothing 
Brain fuzzy, cause he's buzzin', woke up from that buzz 
Now you wonder why he does it, how he does it 
Wasn't cause he had buzzards circle around his head 
Waiting for him to drop dead, was it? 
Or was it, cause them bitches wrote him off 
Little hussy ass fusses, cause f-ck it, guess it doesn't matter now, does it 
What difference it make? 
What it take to get it through your thick skulls 
As if this aint some bullshit 
People don't usually come back this way 
From a place that was dark as I was in 
Just to get to this place 
Now let these words be like a switch blade to a haters rib cage 
And let it be known from this day forward 
I wanna just say thanks cause your hate is what gave me the strength 
So let em bic's raise cause I came with 5'9 but I feel like I'm 6'8


[Bruno Mars]
This one's for you and me, living out our dreams 
We're all right where we should be 
Lift my arms out wide I open my eyes And now all I wanna see 
Is a sky full of lighters 
A sky full of lighters


[Royce Da 5'9"]
By the time you hear this I'll probably already be outtie 
I advance like going from toting iron to going and buying 4 or 5 of the homies the iron man Audi 
My daddy told me slow down, boy, you goin to blow it 
And I aint gotta stop the beat a minute 
To tell Shady I love him the same way that he did Dr Dre on the Chronic 
Tell him how real he is or how high I am 
Or how I would kill for him for him to know it 
I cried plenty tears, my daddy got a bad back 
So it's only right that I right till he can march right into that post office and tell em to hang it up 
Now his career's Lebron's jersey in 20 years 
I'll stop when I'm at the very top 
You shitted on me on your way up 
It's 'bout to be a scary drop 
Cause what goes up must come down 
You going down on something you don't wanna see like a hairy box 
Every hour, happy hour now 
Life is wacky now 
Used to have to eat the cat to get the pussy 
Now I'm just the cats meoww, ow 
Classic now, always down for the catch weight like 
Pacquiao 
Ya'll are doomed 
I remember when T-Pain aint wanna work with me 
My car starts itself, parks itself and autotunes 
Cause now I'm in the Aston 
I went from having my city locked up 
To getting treated like Kwame Kilpatrick 
And now I'm fantastic Compared to a weed high And y'all niggas just gossipin' like bitches on a radio and TV 
See me, we fly 
Y'all buggin out like Wendy Williams staring at a bee-hive 
And how real is that 
I remember signing my first deal and now I'm the second best I can deal with that 
Now Bruno can show his ass, without the MTV awards gag


[Bruno Mars]
You and I know what it's like to be kicked down 
Forced to fight 
But tonight we're alright 
So hold up your lights 
Let it shine


Cause this one's for you and me, 
living out our dreams 
We're all right where we should be 
Lift my arms out wide I open my eyes 
And now all I wanna see Is a sky full of lighters 
A sky full of lighters

[音樂] Semisonic - Closing Time

今天在FWB好友萬萬睡的預告中聽到這首歌, 覺得還蠻好聽的

這首歌是 Semisonic 在 1998 發行的單曲, Semisonic 是一個1995年成立於美國的搖滾樂團, 他們靠著這首在1998年發行的單曲而成名, 最高曾經衝到告示牌排行榜上的第一名, 他們的風格有點像是英式搖滾的味道, 一種比較輕鬆, 比較悠閒的曲風, 可惜的是在這首單曲之後, 他們好像開始走下坡, 成績就沒那麼亮眼, 不知道是不是曲風不合美國人的口味阿

Open all the doors and let you out into the world
Closing time
Turn all of the lights on over every boy and every
girl
Closing time
One last call for alcohol so finish your whiskey or
beer
Closing time
You don't have to go home but you can't stay here

I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
Take me home

Closing time
Time for you to go out to the places you will be from
Closing time
This room won't be open till your brothers or your
sisters come
So gather up your jackets, move it to the exits
I hope you have found a friend
Closing time
Every new beginning comes from some other
beginning's end

I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
Take me home

Closing time
Time for you to go out to the places you will be from

I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
Take me home

I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
Take me home

Closing time
Every new beginning comes from some other
beginning's end

[音樂] David Cook - The Last Goodbye

David Cook 又是一位來自美國歌唱實境節目 American Idol 的歌手, 他是第七季American Idol的冠軍, 一位聲音蠻有特色的搖滾創作歌手, 他本來只是去陪他弟弟參加American Idol 的初選, 沒想到他弟弟沒晉級, 反而是他晉級並且拿下冠軍, 好像很多人都是這樣, 本來是去陪考, 最後變狀元, 從Americal Idol 出道之後, 馬上打破告示牌排行榜的七項紀錄, 真的是太強了

他的聲音真的很適合搖滾曲風, 粗曠並且帶有一點沙啞的嗓音, 而且他很會運用他的嗓音, 在適當的時候帶出一點沙啞的聲音, 配合著旋律與節奏, 組合成一首動人的歌曲

If you hear this on the radio
Then we've already said our last goodbye
I won't be there when you get home
By now there's someone else that hears you cry

I wonder if he holds you like I did
I hope that he can love you better
Cause we were everything that's right at the wrong time

CHORUS:
I didn't want to lose you
Leave you with a broken heart
But wherever we are, we're miles apart
I know that we tried, but this is the last goodbye
Oh, I didn't want to let you go
But wherever we are, we're miles apart
I know that we tried, but this is the last goodbye

We were almost beautiful
A broken piece of art put on display
But we were never possible
Another perfect moment thrown away
I know somebody out there will love you
They'll be the forever we never were
Cause we were everything that's right at the wrong time

CHORUS
I didn't want to lose you
Leave you with a broken heart
But wherever we are, we're miles apart
I know that we tried, but this is the last goodbye
Oh, I didn't want to let you go
But wherever we are, we're miles apart
I know that we tried, but this is the last goodbye

If you hear this on the radio
Then we've already said our last goodbye
Our last goodbye

CHORUS
I didn't want to lose you
Leave you with a broken heart
But wherever we are, we're miles apart
I know that we tried, but this is the last goodbye
The last goodbye
I know that we tried, but this is the last goodbye

[音樂] Nickelback - If Today Was Your Last Day

Nickelback 一個來自加拿大的搖滾樂團, 第一次認識他們是聽到他們跟 Santana 合作 Into the Night, 當時就覺得主唱的聲音很有個性, 有點沙啞的嗓音讓他唱起歌來, 給人一種聲嘶力竭, 發自內心吶吼的感覺, 讓人覺得他是用生命在唱歌

這首歌配上他的嗓音真的是絕配, 像是一個經過歷練的人在講述一個人生故事並且留給你一些問題, 如果沒有明天的話 ?  恩, 這是個好問題

My best friend gave me the best advice
He said each day's a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
That first step you take is the longest stride

If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
If today was your last day

Against the grain should be a way of life
What's worth the prize is always worth the fight
Every second counts 'cause there's no second try
So live like you'll never live it twice
Don't take the free ride in your own life

If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
Would you call old friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories
Would you forgive your enemies?
Would you find that one you're dreamin' of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you finally fall in love
If today was your last day

If today was your last day
Would you make your mark by mending a broken heart?
You know it's never too late to shoot for the stars
Regardless of who you are
So do whatever it takes
'Cause you can't rewind a moment in this life
Let nothin' stand in your way
Cause the hands of time are never on your side

If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?

Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
Would you call old friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories
Would you forgive your enemies?
Would you find that one you're dreamin' of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you finally fall in love
If today was your last day 

[音樂] Blue-Love At First Sight

這應該也可以算是一首老歌了, 是由英國男子團體 Blue 在 2004 年發行的一首情歌, 這個由四個人所組成的男聲團體在2001年成立, 在2005年的時候解散, 到2009年又重新合體出發, 不過聲勢已經大不如前了

在 Blue 2005年解散前, 他們在英國算是當紅的男聲團體, 當時還蠻多男生團體出現, 我想應該是因為Take That 解散的關係, 少了一個指標性的男聲團體, 於是出現許多新聲團體想要繼承 Take That 所留下的高人氣地位, 不過好像都不太成功, Blue 應該算是比較成功的其中一個團體, 但是沒多久也解散了, 可惜阿

Yeah
See if you can relate to this one

Hope I’m not disturbing you
Because you look in deep thought right now
I don’t mean to be rude
Cause this is normally not my style
Can I take you out
I feel if I don’t ask chance will pass
And I'll never see your face again
I’ll never see your face again no

You may be thinking I am strange
Not every single day no
Beauty comes my way,
so

Do you believe in love at first sight,
Tell me does that book that you're reading
Tell the story of your life
Do you believe in love at first sight
Should I walk on by,
Turn a blind eye, to love
Love at first sight

I could be the man for you
I can make all your dreams come true
Maybe I’m a fool
For saying I’m in love with you
You may be thinking I am strange
Not every single day
Beauty comes my way

Do you believe in love at first sight,
Tell me does that book you are reading
Tell the story of your life
Do you believe in love at first sight
Should I walk on by,
Turn a blind eye, to love
Love at first sight

You say fare well
I say so long
You say goodbye
I’ll say you’re wrong
Cause here in my arms you belong

Do you believe in love at first sight,
Tell me does that book you are reading
Tell the story of your life
Do you believe in love at first sight
Should I walk on by,
Turn a blind eye, to love
Love at first sight

Do you believe in love at first sight,
Tell me does that book you are reading
Tell the story of your life
Do you believe in love at first sight
Should I walk on by,
Turn a blind eye, to love
Love at first, love at first sight
To love, love at first sight….

[音樂] Leon Jackson - When You Believe

這首歌算是一首耳熟能詳的經典歌曲, 第一次是在埃及王子的原聲帶裡面, 聽到Mariah Carey 和 Whitney Houston兩大天后的合作, 超級經典的合作, 讓人印象深刻, 也讓這首歌深植人心

今天在廣播中聽到另外一個版本, 是由 Leon Jackson 所演唱的, Leon Jackson 來自英國歌唱選秀節目 The X Factor 2007年的冠軍, 他的嗓音並沒有特別高昂, 不同於天后的版本, 他用一種低沉帶有磁性的嗓音, 並且加上一點R&B 的轉音風格來詮釋這首經典歌曲, 讓這首歌有了新的生命

Many nights we prayed 
With no proof anyone could hear 
In our hearts a hope for a song 
We barely understood 
Now we are not afraid 
Although we know there's much to fear 
We were moving mountains 
Long before we knew we could, whoa, yes 
There can be miracles 
When you believe 
Though hope is frail 
It's hard to kill 
Who knows what miracles 
You can achieve 
When you believe somehow you will 
You will when you believe 
[Mmmmmmmmmyeah] 
Mmmyeah 
In this time of fear 
When prayer so often proves in vain 
Hope seems like the summer bird 
Too swiftly flown away 
Yet now I'm standing here 
My hearts so full, I can't explain 
Seeking faith and speakin words 
I never thought I'd say 
There can be miracles 
When you believe
Though hope is frail 
It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles 
You can achieve
When you believe somehow you will 
You will when you believe 

They don't always happen when you ask 
And it's easy to give in to your fears 
But when you're blinded by your pain 
Can't see the way, get through the rain 
A small but still, resilient voice 
Says love is very near, oh [Oh] 
There can be miracles 
When you believe  
Though hope is frail 
It's hard to kill  
Who knows what miracles 
You can achieve 
When you believe somehow you will 
Somehow you will 
You will when you believe 


You will when you believe

[音樂] Rihanna - California King Bed

Rihanna 來自美國的知名R&B歌手, 認識她是從umbrella開始, 當時是在電視的西洋音樂節目上看到她的MV, 那時候MV裡面拿的雨傘據說還是MIT的

這首歌是她今年五月發行的新單曲, 在美國告示牌排行榜上的成績並不能算好, 但是在美國以外的國家獲得了不錯的成績, 這首歌的歌名跟歌詞內容很有寓意, 利用床的King size來比喻情侶雙方在感情與心靈上的距離, MV中那張大到不行的床以及坐在兩端的主角也完全呼應了這首歌想表達的意涵, 曲調上有一點點鄉村加上流行音樂的組合, 也讓人聽了很舒服, 但是歌手在這首歌中的表現就比較沒那麼突出, 唱得很好, 不過感受不到其中的感情表現, 在聽的時候, 腦袋裡面沒有畫面, 感覺就是中規中矩的唱完這首歌, 有點可惜

Chest to chest
Nose to nose
Palm to palm
We were always just that close
Wrist to wrist
Toe to toe
Lips that felt just like the inside of a rose
So, how come when I reach out my finger
It feels like more than distance between us

In this California king bed
We're ten thousand miles apart
I've been California wishing on these stars
For your heart for me
My California king

Eye to eye
Cheek to cheek
Side by side
You were sleeping next to me
Arm in arm
Dusk to dawn
With the curtains drawn
And a little last night on these sheets
So, how come when I reach out my fingers
It seems like more than distance between us

In this California king bed

We're ten thousand miles apart
I've been California wishing on these stars
For your heart for me
My California king

Just when I felt like giving up on us
You turned around and gave me one last touch
That made everything feel better
And even then my eyes got wetter
So confused wanna ask you if you love me
But I don't wanna seem so weak
Maybe I've been California dreaming

In this California king bed
We're ten thousand miles apart
I've been California wishing on these stars
For your heart for me
My California king
My California King

In this California king bed
We're ten thousand miles apart
I've been California wishing on these stars
For your heart for me
My California king 

[音樂] Leona Lewis - Better In Time

Leona Lewis 英國歌唱選秀節目 The X Factor 第三季的冠軍, 在2007年出道,  一出道就一鳴驚人, 成為2007年英國專輯銷售冠軍, 這首歌就是出自她的第一張專輯 Spirit

她不愧是選秀節目出身, 真假音的轉換非常的完美, 是一位實力派的R&B歌手, 在這首歌裡面, 透過她真假音轉換的嗓音, 讓我腦中浮現一個女生分手後, 坐在牆邊, 一邊流淚一邊告訴自己要過得更好, 我想這首歌應該很適合PayEasy的廣告

It's been the longest winter without you
I didnt know where to turn to
See somehow I cant forget you
After all that we've been through

go in, come in
thought i heard a knock
who's there? no one
thinking that i deserved it
now i realize that i really didnt know
you didnt notice, you mean everything
quickly im learning, to love again
all i know is, imma be ok

thought i couldnt live without you
its gonna hurt when it heals to
it'll all get better in time
eventhough i really love you
im gonna smile cause i deserve to
it'll all get better in time

how could i turn on the tv
without something there to remind me
was it all that easy
to just put aside your feelings

if im dreaming
dont wanna let, hurt my feelings

but thats the path, i believe in
and i know that, time will heal it
you didnt notice, you mean everything
quickly im learning, to love again
all i know is, imma be ok

thought i couldnt live without you
its gonna hurt when it heals to
it'll all get better in time
eventhough i really love you
im gonna smile cause i deserve to
it'll all get better in time

since theres no more you and me
its time i let you go so i can be free
and live my life how it should be
no matter how hard it is ill be fine without you
yes i will

thought i couldnt live without you
its gonna hurt when it heals to
it'll all get better in time
eventhough i really love you
im gonna smile cause i deserve to
it'll all get better in time

[音樂] Steven Tyler - (It) Feels So Good

這首歌是人猿大叔今年5月發表的新歌, 曲風不同於一般的搖滾音樂, 帶有一點悠閒悠懶的風格, 聽這首歌的時候, 腦中浮現的畫面是Steven Tyler 漫步在海邊的木頭棧道上, 一邊打著拍子, 一邊輕鬆悠閒的唱著這首歌, 人猿大淑真的很強, 好會唱阿

Something cool went down
As I was walking with a friend of mine
And I, I still remember,
How she was smelling like the summer time

And oh, how it changed my mind
Changed everything, about that, come on girl

It feels so good, loving you
Yeah, it’s so good, the way you do the do
It feels so good, and I need oxygen,
Little bit of heaven doin’ 24-7 again
Yeah, again and again

Like I was sayin’
My little cupid was real super freak
By the time that I came down
I’ll get locked up in a room for a week

And oh, how she changed my mind
Changed everything about this crazy world

It feels so good, loving you
Yeah, it’s so good, the way you do the do
It feels so good, yeah and by the way
Little bit of heaven 24-7 times a day

A long hair
A double dare
And I swear
A Little bit will do you some good
