Hello

Do you remember me

I am your long lost pen pal

It must have been ten years ago we last wrote

I don't really know what happened

I guess life came in the way

Let me know if you're still alive

Let me know if you ever used that knife or not


Hello

Yes I remember you

I've got a husband and two children now

I work as an accountant and make fairly good money

I still have your letters, you used a pink pen to write them

And you would comfort me

When my tears would stain the ink

And I would send you mix tapes with Kate Bush on


I have to admit I sometimes lied in those letters

Tried to make life better than it was

I still wasn't kissed at sixteen

And I still need a friend


There was this letter

I never told you this back then

But it would be fair to say it saved my life

I sat in the window

The only one left out from a party again

Pretty sure I didn't have a single friend

Then I checked the mailbox


Dear long lost penpal

I was lying the whole time

I'm really a 46 years old man named Luke

I have three children

And a wife, she doesn't care

And I hope you don't resent me

And I hope you do not hate me

For trying to find my way back to what it's like to be young


I have to admit I sometimes lied in those letters

Tried to make life better than it was

I still wasn't kissed at sixteen

And I still need a friend

一首轻柔舒缓的民谣。


一支有阳光破碎声音的美丽乐队。


低声絮语,娓娓道来。



蓝天,海水,钢琴,波士顿。



迷醉



让人情不自禁跟着节奏摇摆的歌曲,爵士灵歌女王Amy Winehouse浓郁而又温婉的声线动人心弦。



甜美又慵懒、颓废又性感的女声,画面感极强的歌词,气氛渲染得带些哥特风,这样极具逼格的歌,当然是昆汀电影里的插曲。

There's a nail in the door

And there's glass on the lawn

Tacks on the floor

And the TV is on

And I always sleep with my guns

When you're gone


There's a blade by the bed

And a phone in my hand

A dog on the floor

And some cash on the nightstand

When I'm all alone the dreaming stops

And I just can't stand


What should I do I'm just a little baby

What if the lights go out and maybe

And then the wind just starts to moan

Outside the door he followed me home


Well goodnight moon

I want the sun

If it's not here soon

I might be done

No it won't be too soon 'til I say

Goodnight moon


There's a shark in the pool

And a witch in the tree

A crazy old neighbour and he's been watching me

And there's footsteps loud and strong coming down the hall

Something's under the bed

Now it's out in the hedge

There's a big black crow sitting on my window ledge

And I hear something scratching through the wall


Oh what should I do I'm just a little baby

What if the lights go out and maybe

I just hate to be all alone

Outside the door he followed me home

Now goodnight moon

I want the sun

If it's not here soon

I might be done

No it won't be too soon 'til I say

Goodnight moon


Well you're up so high

How can you save me

When the dark comes here

Tonight to take me up

To my front walk

And into bed where it kisses my face

And eats my head


Oh what should I do I'm just a little baby

What if the lights go out and maybe

And then the wind just starts to moan

Outside the door he followed me home

Now goodnight moon

I want the sun

If it's not here soon

I might be done

No it won't be too soon 'til I say

Goodnight moon

温柔



这首是来自Adele的专辑《19》中的第一首歌,旋律简单,柔软婉转。


Adele清雅又略带沙哑的嗓音,高音舒缓,转音自然。


歌词如同一首小诗一般。


♬♫♪


Daydreamer

Sitting on the sea

Soaking up the sun

He is a real lover

Of making up the past

And feeling up his girl

Like he's never felt her figure before


A jaw dropper

Looks good when he walks

Is the subject of their talk

He would be hard to chase

But good to catch

And he could change the world

With his hands behind his back, oh


You can find him sittin' on your doorstep

Waiting for a surprise

And he will feel like he's been there for hours

And you can tell that he'll be there for life


Daydreamer

With eyes that make you melt

He lends his coat for shelter

Plus he's there for you

When he shouldn't be

But he stays all the same

Waits for you

Then sees you through


There's no way I

Could describe him

What I'll say is

Just what I'm hoping for


But I will find him sittin' on my doorstep

Waiting for a surprise

And he will feel like he's been there for hours

And I can tell that he'll be there for life

这是电影《爱在黎明破晓前》中的深情插曲,歌词温暖动人。

男女主角在视听室中羞涩相望,和着抒情的女声,朦胧而美好。


♬♫♪

There's a wind that blows in from the north,

And it says that loving takes its course.

Come here. Come here.

No I'm not impossible to touch,

I have never wanted you so much.

Come here. Come here.

Have I never laid down by your side?

Baby, let's forget about this pride.

Come here. Come here.

Well, I'm in no hurry.

You don't have to run away this time.

I know that you're timid,

but it's gonna be all right this time.

电影《爱在黄昏日落时》中的插曲。虽然是一首英文歌,但却有浓浓的法国香颂的韵味。

或许是因为女声淡淡的沙哑声,或许是流水般的吉他旋律。


怀旧



听着这首歌,脑海中就出现一个70岁的老人,一手夹着雪茄,一手端着威士忌,娓娓道来他50年前的爱情……




Suzanne Vega是八十年代民谣运动复兴的领军人物,Tom's Diner是80年代发行的经典名曲,独立个性的女声,简单直白的节奏,充满画面感的歌词。


♬♫♪


I am sitting

In the morning

At the diner

On the corner


I am waiting

At the counter

For the man

To pour the coffee


And he fills it

Only halfway

And before

I even argue


He is looking

Out the window

At somebody

Coming in


"It is always

Nice to see you"

Says the man

Behind the counter


To the woman

Who has come in

She is shaking

Her umbrella


And I look

The other way

As they are kissing

Their hellos


I'm pretending

Not to see them

Instead

I pour the milk


I open

Up the paper

There's a story

Of an actor


Who had died

While he was drinking

It was no one

I had heard of


And I'm turning

To the horoscope

And looking

For the funnies


When I'm feeling

Someone watching me

And so

I raise my head


There's a woman

On the outside

Looking inside

Does she see me?


No she does not

Really see me

Cause she sees

Her own reflection


And I'm trying

Not to notice

That she's hitching

Up her skirt


And while she's

Straightening her stockings

Her hair

Has gotten wet


Oh, this rain

It will continue

Through the morning

As I'm listening


To the bells

Of the cathedral

I am thinking

Of your voice...


And of the midnight picnic

Once upon a time

Before the rain began...


I finish up my coffee

It's time to catch the train

阳光



曾经的少年经过岁月的洗礼,如今多了些沧桑,但是歌声中活力依旧。


一首充满阳光正能量的小情歌。




这首歌也有太阳的味道。明朗轻快的节奏,配上略带些沙哑的嗓音,别样的滋味。




轻快的节奏,让阳光洒进心田。



迷惘




飘渺如雾水般的嗓音,魔术般的女声和简单悦耳的旋律,这首歌很好听,但歌词却蒙着一层阴郁。




格莱美奖获得者Nelly Furtado拥有充满异域风情的声线。这首歌由Coldplay操刀为她创作。歌曲全名是“All Good Things Come to an End”,美好的总有尽头,燃烧的终成灰烬。



抖腿系列



这首歌是Muse专辑《Black Holes and Revolution》中最成功的歌曲,被许多影视剧选作插曲。


其中最有名的大概是《暮光之城》中Edward一家打棒球时的配乐。


整首歌完美体现了Muse的风格:古典、独立、电音摇滚。




美国流行摇滚乐队OneRepublic的抖腿神曲,旋律狂野流畅,听得人血脉喷张。
