[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
