[音樂] Colbie Caillat - I Never Told You

這首歌是由美國創作女歌手 Colbie Caillat 所演唱, 在2009年發行, 收錄於專輯 Breakthrough 中, 她在2007年出道, 應該可以將她歸類於療癒系的歌手, 她的聲音有一種慵懶的感覺, 聽著她的歌會讓人心靈平靜的沉浸在她的歌聲中, 在2009年更以Breakthrough 這張專輯獲得年度最將專輯的提名

這首歌發行之後就獲得大量的好評, 在美國告示牌排行榜上最高達到11名, 是一首能夠撫慰心靈的歌


I miss those blue eyes, how you kiss me at night
I miss the way we sleep
Like there's no sunrise, like the taste of your smile
I miss the way we breathe

But I never told you what I should have said
No, I never told you, I just held it in

And now I miss everything about you
I can't believe it, I still want you
And after all the things we've been through
I miss everything about you, without you

I see your blue eyes every time I close mine
You make it hard to see
Where I belong to, when I'm not around you
It's like I'm not with me

But I never told you what I should have said
No, I never told you, I just held it in

And now I miss everything about you
(Still, you're gone)
I can't believe it, I still want you
(And I'm lovin' you, I never should've walked away)
After all the things we've been through
(I know it's never gonna come again)
I miss everything about you, without you

But I never told you what I should have said
No, I never told you, I just held it in

And now I miss everything about you
(Still, you're gone)
I can't believe it, I still want you
(And I'm lovin' you, I never should've walked away)
After all the things we've been through
(I know it's never gonna come again)
I miss everything about you, without you

[音樂] Chumbawamba - Tubthumping

這首歌是由英國音樂團體 Chumbawamba 所演唱, 發行於1997年, 這個團體可以算是不朽的元老樂團, 1982年成立, 一直到最近都還有演出, 甚至在今年還開巡迴演唱會, 真的是不老天團阿

這首歌可以算是他們的代表作, 是他們所有作品中賣得最好的一張單曲, 最高衝到英國排行榜的第二名, 同時也是他們在美國賣得最好的一張, 衝到告示牌˙Top100 的第六名, 算是一首經典歌曲阿, 對這首歌我也有很深的印象, 因為 EA 出的足球電玩 World Cup '98 就是用這首歌當作電玩主題曲, 聽著這首歌就讓我想起高中的時候, 在電腦前面操控搖桿努力的盤球過人, 然後就是  Goal ~~~~, 真的是一款很好玩的遊戲, 我還記得那時候很喜歡用英國隊, 因為標誌還蠻好看的, 哈哈哈, 好懷念的青春時光阿

[音樂] Del Amitri - Roll To Me

又是一首經典老歌, 這首歌是由來自英國的吉他搖滾團體 Del Amitri 所演唱的, 發行於1995年, 收錄在 Twisted 專輯當中, 他們成立於1983年, 一開始在樂壇的發展並不是很順利, 直到1985年發行專輯 Walking Hours 之後, 才一舉攻上英國排行榜的第六名, 同時在美國也獲得不錯的成績, 比較特別的是, 他們的專輯在英國賣得不錯, 但是發行的單曲在英國就比較差一點, 不過在美國, 他們的單曲成績反而相當的亮眼, 有多首進入Top100的單曲, 我想可能是那個年代, 美國市場對於單曲的接受度比英國高吧, 他們最後一次發行專輯是在2002年的時候, 之後他們就沒有正式的團體演出了, 目前是處於一個神祕的狀態

這首歌在美國的單曲銷售量也是相當的亮眼, 是他們在美國銷量最好的一首單曲, 攻上告示牌Top 100 的第十名, 相當的厲害, 不過在英國最高只衝到22名而已, 在自己家裡反而得不到關愛阿


Look around your world pretty Baby
Is it everythin' you hoped it'd be?
The wrong guy, the wrong situation
The right time to roll to me
Roll to me

Look into your heart pretty baby
Is it achin' with some nameless need?
Is there somethin' wrong
And you can't put your finger on it?
Right then, roll to me

And I don't think
I have ever seen a soul so in despair
So if you want to talk the night through
(Ooh)
Guess who will be there?
(Aaa)

So don't try to deny it pretty Baby
You've been down so long, you can hardly see
When the engine's stalled and it won't stop rainin'
It's the right time to roll to me
Roll to me
Roll to me

And I don't think
I have ever seen a soul so in despair
So if you want to talk the night through
(Ooh)
Guess who will be there?
(Aaa)

So look around your world pretty Baby
Is it everything you hoped it'd be
The wrong guy, the wrong situation
The right time to roll to me
The right time to roll to me
The right time to roll to me
Ooh

[音樂] A1 - Like a rose

這首歌是由元老級男孩團體A1 所演唱,  在2000年發行, 最高曾經達到英國單曲排行榜的第六名, A1 是在1998由3個英國男孩加上一名挪威男孩所組成, 在那個男孩團體當紅的年代, 一出道就獲得英國廣大歌迷的喜愛, 專輯熱銷並且獲獎無數, 在2002年的時候因為其中一名團員離隊, 因此他們宣布解散, 到了 2009年, 剩下的3名團員決定重新出發, 再度合體發行專輯, 不過聲勢就沒有以前那麼紅了

聽到這首歌的時候, 就讓人想到那個西洋男孩團體當道的時代, 整個歐洲在那時候不知道出了多少的男孩團體, 從 Take That, boyZone 到 westlife, 一個接著一個, 而且每個都大紅, 真的是不簡單

And as I look into your eyes
I see an angel in disguise
Sent from God above
For me to love
To hold and idolise

And as I hold your body near
I'll see this month through to a year
And then forever on
'Til life is gone
I'll keep your loving near

And now I've finally found my way
To lead me down this lonely road
All I have to do
Is follow you
To lighten off my load

You treat me like a rose
You give me room to grow
You shone the light of love on me
And gave me air so I can breathe
You open doors that close
In a world where anything goes
You give me strength so I stand tall
Within this bed of earth
Just like a rose

And when I feel like hope is gone
You give me strength to carry on
Each time I look at you
There's something new
To keep our loving strong

I hear you whisper in my ear
All of the words I long to hear
Of how you'll always be
Here next to me
To wipe away my tears

And now I've finally found my way
To lead me down this lonely road
All I have to do is follow you
To lighten off my load

You treat me like a rose
You give me room to grow
You shone the light of love on me
And gave me air so I can breathe
You open doors that close
In a world where anything goes
You give me strength so I stand tall
Within this bed of earth
Just like a rose

And though the seasons change
Our love remains the same
You face the thunder
When the sunshine turns to rain
Just like a rose

You treat me like a rose
You give me room to grow
You shone the light of love on me
And gave me air so I can breathe
You open doors that close
In a world where anything goes
You give me strength so I stand tall
Within this bed of earth
Just like a rose

You give me strength so I stand tall
Within this bed of earth
Just like a rose.. 

[音樂] Simple Plan - Jet Lag

Ft. Marie-Mai

Ft. Natasha Bedingfield

這首歌是由來自加拿大魁北克的流行音樂團體 Simple Plan 所演唱的, 收錄在他們2011年的最新專輯 Get Your Heart On! 中, 他們成立於1999年, 由5個大男生所組成, 在2004年推出第二張專輯時, 成功打響了他們的名號, 第三張專輯更將他們推向國際市場, 讓他們在日本獲得不錯的銷售成績


這首歌有兩個版本, 法文版的是跟同樣來自魁北克的搖滾女歌手Marie-Mai 所合作, 英文版則是與英國清新女歌手  Natasha Bedingfield 合唱, 我還蠻喜歡法文版本, 雖然聽不懂法文的部分在唱甚麼, 不過法文與英文交錯, 聽起來很有趣, 而且會覺得法文不虧是號稱最性感的語言, 聽著Marie-Mai 唱著法文的部分, 就有一種舒服的感覺


What time is it where you are?
I miss you more than anything
Back at home you feel so far
Waitin' for the phone to ring
It's gettin’ lonely livin’ upside down
I don't even wanna be in this town
Tryin' to figure out the time zones makin' me crazy

You say good morning
When it's midnight
Going out of my head
Alone in this bed
I wake up to your sunset
And it's driving me mad
I miss you so bad
And my heart, heart, heart is so jetlagged
Heart, heart, heart is so jetlagged
Heart, heart, heart is so jetlagged

What time is it where you are?
Five more days and I'll be home
I keep your picture in my car
I hate the thought of you alone
I've been keepin' busy all the time
Just to try to keep you off my mind
Tryin' to figure out the time zones makin’ me crazy

You say good morning
When it's midnight
Going out of my head
Alone in this bed
I wake up to your sunset
And it's drivin' me mad
I miss you so bad
And my heart, heart, heart is so jetlagged
Heart, heart, heart is so jetlagged
Heart, heart, heart is so jetlagged
Is so jet lagged

I miss you so bad [x5]
I wanna share your horizon
I miss you so bad
And see the same sunrising
I miss you so bad
Turn the hour hand back to when you were holding me.

You say good morning
When it's midnight
Going out of my head
Alone in this bed
I wake up to your sunset
And it's drivin' me mad
I miss when you say good morning
But it's midnight
Going out of my head
Alone in this bed
I wake up to your sunset
And it's drivin' me mad
I miss you so bad
And my heart, heart, heart is so jetlagged
Heart, heart, heart is so jetlagged
Heart, heart, heart is so jetlagged
Is so jetlagged
Is so jetlagged 

[音樂] Evanescence - What You Want

Evanescence 2011 年的新歌, 他們是來自美國的歌德式搖滾團體, 成立於1995年, 在2003發行第一張完整專輯就獲得熱烈的迴響, 在全球熱銷超過1700萬張, 並且贏得了兩座葛萊美獎

這首歌延續他們一貫的風格, 曲風帶有一種暗黑搖滾, 充滿歌德式風格, 加上女主唱渾厚通滿力量的嗓音, 配合歌曲旋律的轉換, 時而低聲細語, 時而釋放能量, 完美的詮釋了這首新歌

Do what you what you want, if you have a dream for better
Do what you what you want till you don’t want it anymore
(remember who you really are)
Do what you what you want, your world’s closing in on you now
(it isn’t over)
Stand and face the unknown
(got to remember who you really are)
Every heart in my hands like a pale reflection

Hello, hello remember me?
I’m everything you can’t control
Somewhere beyond the pain there must be a way to believe we can break through

Do what you what you want, you don’t have to lay your life down
(it isn’t over)
Do what you what you want till you find what you’re looking for
(got to remember who you really are)
But every hour slipping by screams that I have failed you

Hello, hello remember me?

I’m everything you can’t control
Somewhere beyond the pain there must be a way to believe
Hello, hello remember me?
I’m everything you can’t control
Somewhere beyond the pain there must be a way to believe

There’s still time
Close your eyes
Only love will guide you home
Tear down the walls and free your soul
Till we crash we’re forever spiraling down, down, down, down

Hello, hello, it’s only me
Infecting everything you love
Somewhere beyond the pain there must be a way to believe
Hello, hello remember me?
I’m everything you can’t control
Somewhere beyond the pain there must be a way to learn forgiveness
Hello, hello remember me?
I’m everything you can’t control
Somewhere beyond the pain there must be a way to believe we can break through

[音樂] Lady Gaga - You And I

這首歌是由非常有個人特色的美國流行音樂歌手Lady Gaga所演唱的, 也是她個人的創作, 收錄在她2011年發行的新專輯 Born This Way 當中, Lady Gaga 是一個很有個人特色的歌手, 完全就是活自己的代表, 完全不在乎其他人對她的評價, 就是老娘說的算的代表

這首歌跟她之前的歌曲風格不太一樣, 有一種鄉村的感覺, 剛聽到的時候還不太相信這是她會唱的歌, 少了她以往歌曲中的花俏以及吵雜, 但是卻多了一分真誠的感覺, 讓人比較能感受到這首歌的情緒與感情, 而不再只是強烈的節奏, 快速的旋律而以

Live 版本

It’s been a long time since I came around
It’s been along time but I’m back in town
But this time I’m not leaving without you

You taste like whiskey when you kiss me oooh
I’ll give up anything again to be your baby doll
Yeah this time I’m not leaving without you

You said sit back down where you belong
In the corner of my bar with your high heels on
Sit back down on the couch where we
Made love for the first time
And you said to me

There’s something, something about this place
Something about lonely nights and my lipstick on your face
Something something about my cool Nebraska guy
Yeah something about
Baby you and I

Been two years since I let you go,
I could’ve listened to a joke for rock n roll
And muscle cars drove a truck right through my heart

You taste like whiskey when you kiss me oooh
I’ll give up anything again to be your baby doll
Yeah this time I’m not leaving without you

You said sit back down where you belong
In the corner of my bar with your high heels on
Sit back down on the couch where we
Made love for the first time and you said to me,

There’s something, something about this place
Something about lonely nights and my lipstick on your face
Something something about my cool Nebraska guy

Yeah something about, baby you and I
You and I
You, you and I
You, you and I
You you and I
You and I
You you and I
You you and I

[piano solo]

You said sit back down where you belong
In the corner of my bar with your high heels on
Yeah you like the red ones
Sit back down on the couch where we Made love for the first time and you said to me,

There’s something, something about this place
Something about lonely nights and my lipstick on your face
Something something about my cool Nebraska guy
Yeah something about
Baby you and I

You and I
You and I
You you and I
You you and I
You and I

You you and I
You you and I
You you and I

Been along time since I came around
Its been along time but I’m back in town
And this time I’m not leaving without you

[音樂] Boys Like Girls - The Great Escape

這首歌是由來自美國的搖滾團體 Boys Like Girls 所演唱的, 收錄在他們2006年的同名專輯中, 他們成軍於2005年, 由四個年輕人所組成的青春搖滾團體, 感覺他們的曲風偏向青春的路線, 主打青少年的價值觀, 青少年的認同

這首歌一聽到的時候, 就覺得是一首好青春的歌阿, 感覺就是唱給高中生聽的, 內容描寫的不管是哪個年代的高中生應該都能有所共鳴, 不要在乎世俗他人的眼光, 活在當下, 快樂的生活, 活出自己, 聽著聽著也讓我想到我的高中生活, 已經過好久了 QQ, 好想再回到過去再去好好的過一次自由的青春生活

Paper bags and plastic hearts
All are belongings in shopping carts
It's goodbye
But we got one more night
Let's get drunk and ride around
And make peace with an empty town
We can make it right

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
Watch it burn
Let it die
Cause we are finally free tonight

Tonight will change our lives
It's so good to be by your side
But we'll cry
We won't give up the fight
We'll scream loud at the top of our lungs
And they'll think it's just cause we're young
And we'll feel so alive

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
Watch it burn
Let it die
Cause we are finally free tonight

All of the wasted time
The hours that were left behind
The answers that we'll never find
They don't mean a thing tonight

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
Watch it burn
Let it die
Cause we are finally free tonight

[音樂] David Cook - The Time Of My Life

這首歌式之前介紹過的 David Cook 所演唱的, 是為那一屆American Idol 冠軍所打造的冠軍單曲, 也是他個人發行的第一張單曲, 推出後獲得熱烈的迴響, 衝上排行榜的冠軍, 也是美國電視台當年在轉播北京奧運時必備的一首歌

歌詞內容基本上就是在描述 David Cook 自己參賽的心路歷程, 誤打誤撞的就得到了當年的冠軍, 實在是要感謝他的哥哥這個美麗的錯誤阿 XD

Live 版本

I could believe in
And looking for that
Magic rainbow
On the horizon
I couldn't see it
Until I let go
Gave into love and watched all the bitterness burn
Now I'm coming alive
Body and soul
And feelin'myworld start to turn

And I'll taste every moment
And live it out loud
I know this is the time,
This is the time
To be more than a name
Or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
Time of my life

Holding onto things and vanished
Them to the air
Left me in pieces
But now I'm rising from the ashes
Finding my wings
And all that I needed
Was there all along
Within my reach
As close as the beat of my heart

And I'll taste every moment
And live it out loud
I know this is the time,
This is the time to be
More than a name
Or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
Time of my life

And I'm out on the edge of forever
Ready to run
I'm keeping my feet on the ground
My arms open wide
My face to the sun

And I'll taste every moment
And live it out loud
I know this is the time,
This is the time to be
More than a name
Or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
Time of my life
More than a name
Or a face in the crowd
This is the time
This is the time of my life.
This is the time of my life.
Life
Time of my life
Time of my life

[音樂] Gavin DeGraw - Not Over You

這首歌是由來自美國的流行音樂創作歌手 Gavin DeGraw 所演唱的, 他在2003年發行的單曲 I Don't Want to Be 被電視劇 One Tree Hill 選作片頭曲使得這首歌成為家喻戶曉的熱門歌曲, 也讓他成為美國知名的流行音樂歌手, 這首歌是他在2011年5月所發行的新單曲, 在各大排行榜上都有不錯的成績, 不過在2011年八月的時候, 他在紐約街頭被圍毆然後又被計程車撞, 真的是禍不單行阿, 也因為如此他的演藝活動目前是暫停的, 因為實在是傷的太慘了 QQ

Dreams, that’s where I have to go
to see your beautiful face anymore
I stare at a picture of you and listen to the radio
Hope, hope there’s a conversation
where we both admit we had it good but
until then it’s alienation, I know, that much is understood
And I realize

CHORUS:
If you ask me how I’m doin’ I would say I’m doin’ just fine
I would lie and say that you’re not on my mind
But I go out and I sit down at a table set for two
and finally I’m forced to face the truth
No matter what they say, I’m not over you
Not over you


Damn, damn girl you do it well
And I thought you were innocent
You took this heart and put it through hell
But still you’re magnificent
I I’m a boomerang doesn’t matter how you throw me
Turn around and I’m back in the game
Even better than the old me
But I’m not even close without you

CHORUS:
If you ask me how I’m doin’ I would say I’m doin’ just fine
I would lie and say that you’re not on my mind
But I go out and I sit down at a table set for two
and finally I’m forced to face the truth
No matter what I say, I’m not over you

BRIDGE:
And if I had the chance to renew
You know there isn’t a thing I wouldn’t do
I could get back on the right track
But only if you’d be convinced
So until then

CHORUS:
If you ask me how I’m doin’ I would say I’m doin’ just fine
I would lie and say that you’re not on my mind
But I go out and I sit down at a table set for two
and finally I’m forced to face the truth
No matter what I say, I’m not over you
Not over you
Not over you
Not over you

[音樂] Michael Buble - Hold on

這首歌是由來自加拿大的抒情爵士歌手Michael Buble 所演唱的, 他出生於1975年, 從小受到祖父的影響, 迷戀於老歌以及爵士樂, 對他後來的歌唱風格有極大的影響, 在1996年出道後, 就在加拿大及英國獲得熱烈的迴響, 2005年更以專輯 It's Time 成為全球知名的流行爵士歌手, 並在2008年獲得葛萊梅獎的肯定

Didn't they always say we were the lucky ones?
I guess that we were once
Babe, we were once

But luck will leave you cause
It is a faithless friend
And in the end when life has got you down
You've got someone here that you can wrap your arms around

So hold on to me tight
Hold on to me tonight
We are stronger here together
Than we could ever be alone
So hold on to me
Don't you ever let me go

There's a thousand ways for things to fall apart
But it's no one's fault
No it's not my fault

Maybe all the plans we made would not work out
But I have no doubt even though it's hard to see
I've got faith in us and I believe in you and me

So hold on to me tight
Hold on, I promise it'll be alright
Cause it's you and me together
And baby all we've got is time
So hold on to me, hold on to me tonight

There's so many dreams that we have given up
Take a look at all we've got
And with this kind of love
What we've got here is enough

So hold on to me tight
Hold on, I promise it'll be alright
Cause we are stronger here together
Then we could ever be alone
Just hold on to me
Don't you ever let me go
Hold on to me, it's gonna be alright
Hold on to me tonight
They always say we were the lucky ones

[音樂] Reeve Carney Ft. Bono & The Edge - Rise Above 1

Reeve Carney 是百老匯蜘蛛人音樂劇的男主角, 在音樂劇中飾演Peter Parker, 這首歌是音樂劇中的其中一首歌, 是由U2 的主唱Bono 以及吉他手 The Edge 創作的一首歌, 在音樂劇中他要吊著鋼索像電影裡的蜘蛛人一樣飛簷走壁, 我想應該不是一件簡單的工作, 這個版本是他跟 U2 的主唱 Bono 還有吉他手 The Edge 一起合唱, 是為了配合單曲發行所重新製作的新版本, 在音樂劇中是由主角自己演唱的, 而這首歌演唱時的劇情, 就是Peter Parker 的叔叔被壞人槍殺, 讓他決定要以蜘蛛人的身分打擊犯罪的那一刻, 決定接受這份力量, 承擔這份責任

Live 版本

And you said rise above
Open your eyes up
And you said rise above
But I can’t
I can’t

How long will it take
Before these feelings
Go away
How much longer do I wait
And are there any real answers
Anyway

Your silence in a crowded room
Louder than the loudest tune
I hang on every word

And you said rise above
Open your eyes up
And you said rise above
But I can’t
I can’t

I miss you in everything
I was too fast traveling
To take you in
I know, silence is no crime
Just wish I could hear you fill it up

One more time

Yes, I know what you’d say to me
Exactly what you said to me
I Still hang on every word

And you said rise above
Open your eyes up
And you said rise above
Yourself

In a time of treason
Is there time for trust
Where there’s no them
Only us
Is there time for reason?
Has your heart had enough
Is it time to let go
And rise above?

And you said rise above
Open your eyes to LOVE
And you said rise above
Yourself

今天是中華民國建國100年的國慶日, 沒想到居然可以躬逢其盛, 就用這篇來慶祝國家100歲的生日, 也希望我們還有下一個100年

[音樂] Avril Lavigne - Wish You Were Here

這首歌跟Smile一樣是收錄在Avril Lavigne 2011年最新專輯中, 單曲推出時獲得不錯的銷售成績, 在美國告示牌排行榜上到Hot 100 的 99名, 也曾經是台灣排行榜的第3名, 今天聽這首歌的時候, 不知道為什麼一直想到蘋果跟賈伯斯, 不知道若干年後,蘋果迷心中會不會浮出跟這首歌一樣的心聲

I can be tough
I can be strong
But with you,
it's not like that at all

There's a girl
who gives a shit
behind this wall
You've just walked through it

And I remember,
all those crazy things you said
You left them riding through my head
You're always there,
you're everywhere
But right now I wish you were here.
All those crazy things we did
Didn't think about it, just went with it
You're always there,
you're everywhere
But right now I wish you were here

Damn, Damn, Damn,
What I'd do to have you
here, here, here
I wish you were here.
Damn, Damn, Damn
What I'd do to have you
near, near, near
I wish you were here.

I love the way you are
It's who I am,
don't have to try hard
We always say,
say like it is
And the truth is that I really miss

All those crazy things you said
You left them riding through my head
You're always there
you're everywhere
But right now I wish you were here.
All those crazy things we did
Didn't think about it, just went with it
You're always there,
you're everywhere
But right now I wish you were here


Damn, Damn, Damn,
What I'd do to have you
here, here, here
I wish you were here.
Damn, Damn, Damn
What I'd do to have you
near, near, near
I wish you were here.



No, I don't wanna let go
I just wanna let you to know
That I never wanna let go

(let go let go let go let go)


No, I don't wanna let go
I just wanna let you to know
That I never wanna let go

(let go let go let go let go let go let go let go)

Damn, Damn, Damn,
What I'd do to have you
here, here, here
I wish you were here
Damn, Damn, Damn
What I'd do to have you
near, near, near
I wish you were here.

Damn, Damn, Damn,
What I'd do to have you
here, here, here
I wish you were here.
Damn, Damn, Damn
What I'd do to have you
near, near, near
I wish you were here.

R.I.P. Steve Jobs

雖然我不是個蘋果迷, 不過還是不能否認賈伯斯帶給這個世界許多意外的創新, 因為他我們才知道原來mp3 player可以這樣用, 手機可以這樣玩, 電腦也可以如此輕薄, 他的創意比大多數人的想法都還要前衛, 步伐比我們都要快, 現在他也先走一步, 去改造另外一個世界, 一路好走

[音樂] Collective Soul - Run

這首歌是收錄在美國搖滾團體 Collective Soul 在 1998年發行的專輯 Dosage 中, 他們是在1992年出道由4個人所組成的搖滾樂團, 在美國銷售成績相當亮眼, 擁有七首美國告示牌排行榜冠軍單曲, 相當厲害阿, 2009年還入選喬治亞州音樂名人堂, 是相當火紅的團體, 不過在台灣好像沒甚麼知名度

我覺得他們歌曲的風格都是搖滾中帶著輕鬆, 抒情的味道, 可能是因為主唱的嗓音的關係, 給人一點輕輕柔柔的感覺, 不同於其他搖滾團體放聲嘶吼的風格, 能夠放鬆聽眾的心情, 有點輕音樂的感覺

Are these times contagious
I've never been this bored before
Is this the prize I've waited for
Now as the hours passing
There's nothing left here to mature
I long to find a messenger

Have I got a long way to run [x2]
Yeah, I run [x2]

Is there a cure among us
From this processed sanity
I weaken with each voice that sings
In this world of purchase
I'm going to buy back memories
To awaken some old qualities

Have I got a long way to run [x2]
Have I got a long way to run [x2]
Yeah, I run [x2]
Have I got a long way to run [x2]
Yeah, I run [x4]
[background:]
Have I got a long way to run [x4] 

[音樂] Michael Learns to Rock - You Took My Heart Away

這首歌是由來自丹麥的三人輕搖滾團體 MLTR 在 2006年所推出的單曲, MLTR 可以在亞洲可以算是元老級的團體, 他們成立於1988年, 這首歌算是他們的代表作, 還拿下2006年被下載最多的單曲寶座, 不過他們在美國跟英國的知名度好像沒有像在亞洲這麼高, 大部分的唱片銷售都是來自亞洲國家, 可能英美人士比較喜歡重口味的吧

聽著這首輕柔又帶著搖滾的旋律, 加上淺顯易懂的歌詞, 讓我這種英文不是很好的人, 很容易的就進入歌曲所要表達的意境當中, 就算不懂歌詞, 沉浸在輕柔, 和緩但是有帶著節奏的旋律裡也是很舒服

Staring at the moon so blue
Turning all my thoughts to you
I was without hope or dream
Try to dull an inner scream
But you . . . saw me through . . .

Walking on a path of air
See your faces everywhere
As you melt this heart of stone
You take my hand to guide me home and now I’m in love

You took my heart away
When my whole world was grey
You gave me everything and a little bit more
And when it’s cold at night
And you sleep by my side
You become the meaning of my life . . .

Living in a world so cold
You were there to warm my soul
You came to mend a broken heart
You gave my life a brand new start
And now . . . I ’m in love

You took my heart away
When my whole world was grey
You gave me everything and a little bit more
And when it’s cold at night
And you sleep by my side
You become the meaning of my life . . .

Holding your hands
I won’t fear tomorrow
Here where we stand
We never be alone

You took my heart away
When my whole world was grey
You gave me everything and a little bit more
And when it’s cold at night
And you sleep by my side
You become the meaning of my life . . .
You become the meaning of my life . . .
You become the meaning
You become the meaning of my life . . . 

[音樂] Bruno Mars - It Will Rain

這首歌是 Bruno Mars 2011年的最新單曲, 同時也是暮光之城 4 的電影主題曲, 不同於以往的Bruno Mars 這首歌走的是比較深情, 節奏比較慢的抒情歌曲, 透過他有點憂鬱又帶著一點沙啞的嗓音, 讓這首歌的歌詞完全的穿透人心, 聽著聽著彷彿窗外的快要下雨了

If you ever leave me baby,
Leave some morphine at my door
‘Cause it would take a whole lot of medication
To realize what we used to have,
We don’t have it anymore.

There’s no religion that could save me
No matter how long my knees are on the floor
So keep in mind all the sacrifices I’m makin’
Will keep you by my side
Will keep you from walkin’ out the door.

[Chorus]
Cause there’ll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
There’ll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same, if you walk away
Everyday it will rain, rain, rain...

I’ll never be your mother’s favorite
Your daddy can’t even look me in the eye
Oooh if I was in their shoes, I’d be doing the same thing
Sayin there goes my little girl
Walkin’ with that troublesome guy

But they’re just afraid of something they can’t understand

Oooh well little darlin’ watch me change their minds
Yeah for you I’ll try I’ll try I’ll try I’ll try
I’ll pick up these broken pieces ’til I’m bleeding
If that’ll make you mine

[Chorus]
Cause there’ll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
There’ll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same if you walk away
Everyday it will rain, rain, rain...

[Bridge]
Don’t just say, goodbye
Don’t just say, goodbye
I’ll pick up these broken pieces ’til I’m bleeding
If that’ll make it right

[Chorus]
Cause there’ll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
There’ll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same if you walk away
Everyday it will rain, rain, rain...

[音樂] Far East Movement ft. Ryan Tedder - Rocketeer

這首歌是由一個我個人覺得很特別的團體 Far East Movement 所演唱的, Far East Movement 是由4個亞裔美籍男生所組成的電子饒舌團體, 在美國居然會有亞裔所組成的饒舌團體在流行音樂市場上發行唱片, 實在是讓我感到吃驚阿, 而且他們在2010年的一首單曲 Like a G6 還曾經登上美國告示牌排行榜的冠軍, 真的是太厲害了, 也讓人見識到美國音樂市場真的是很多元, 甚麼樣的音樂都有, 只要好聽都會被接受

Here we go, come with me
There's a world out there that we should see
Take my hand, close your eyes
With you right here, I'm a rocketeer

Let's fly (fly,fly,fly,fly)
Up, up here we go, go
Up, up here we go, go
Let's fly (fly,fly,fly,fly)
Up, up here we go, go
Where we stop nobody knows

[Prohgress:]
Where we go, we don't need roads
And where we stop nobody knows
To the stars if you really want it
Got a jetpack with your name on it
Above the clouds and the atmosphere
Say the words and we outta here
Hold my hand if you feeling scared
We're flying up, up outta here

Here we go, come with me
There's a world out there that we should see
Take my hand, close your eyes
With you right here, I'm a rocketeer

Let's fly (fly,fly,fly,fly)
Up, up here we go, go
Up, up here we go, go
Let's fly (fly,fly,fly,fly)
Up, up here we go, go
Where we stop nobody knows

[Kev Nish:]
Baby, we can stay fly like a G6
Shop the streets of Tokyo, get you fly kicks
Girl, your always on my mind
Got my head up in the sky
And I'm never looking down, feeling priceless
Yeah, where we at? only few have known
Were on some next level, super Mario
I hope this works out, cardio
Until then let's fly
Geronimo

Here we go, come with me
There's a world out there that we should see
Take me hand, close your eyes
With you right here, I'm a rocketeer
Let's fly

[J-Splif:]
Yo, now I ain't ever been to space before
But I ain't never seen a face like yours
You make me feel like I can touch the planets
You want the moon girl, watch me grab it
See, I ain't ever seen a star this close
You got me stuck by the way you glow
I'm like oh, oh, oh, oh
I'm like oh, oh, oh, oh

Here we go, come with me
There's a world out there that we should see
Take my hand, close your eyes
With you right here, I'm a rocketeer

Let's fly (fly,fly,fly,fly)
Up, up here we go, go
Up, up here we go, go
Let's fly (fly,fly,fly,fly)
Up, up here we go, goWhere we stop nobody knows
