神秘森林數烏鴉

Looking back on when we first met

我發現自己有好一陣子沒好好地聽歌了(難怪我最近面目如此可憎XD)

所以我整理了一下自己身邊的CD們(←跟上一句根本接不起來)

順便回想當初是怎麼認識這歌手／團體的

single_ New Shoes

single_ How Six Songs Collide

最近聽說到Jason Mraz這個歌曲曲風有點類似Jack Johnson的歌手
不過我對這種曲風並不會太喜歡
不討厭，而且聽起來很舒服，但就是沒感覺

既然如此，在電腦裡已經躺了三張Jack Johnson的情況下，也就沒必要去找Jason Mraz的專輯來聽

其實這篇的重點不在Jason Mraz，雖然他也是主角之一
我是因為Jason Mraz的I’m Yours才得知這首Norwegian Recycling的How Six Songs Collide

這首歌實在好聽
混了6首耳熟能詳的流行音樂，每首歌配合的時間點都讓人拍手叫好，很驚奇，卻又非常適合

也許有私心(我對”collide”一詞的唯一印象就是Howie Day這首歌，歌詞曲調都無懈可擊)，但不能否認真的很動聽
也很高妙，Norwegian Recycling真的太厲害

另附一首8 Become 1
這裡面的歌年代比較久遠，但也很好聽(我好愛野人花園跟AK，最後結尾得超讚)

single_ CHANGE

讓人期待後續發展的新人

用嘹亮還不足以形容她那充滿爆發力的歌聲
走的是Pop曲風，這首歌很容易使人聯想到大自然，聽了會有想在曠野奔跑或吶喊的衝動
私心認為，如果這聲音加入一些些R&B或靈魂樂的唱腔，應該也會很有味道吧

福原美穗 – CHANGE

album_ 此生最美的風景

話說小時候(?)好像是從一部很芭樂的偶像劇知道JS的
那部偶像劇很紅(記得我對它的劇情似乎非常不以為然XD)，主題曲也跟著熱門起來
不過過了這麼多年，相信大家應該只記得當初唱主題曲的JS，而早就忘了那部偶像劇吧

MTV台最近一直播映新專輯的主打歌《你是此生最美的風景》
是一首很清新很清新、讓人聽了會很舒服的歌

今天終於把整張專輯聽完了，每首歌聽起來都像清風
總之就是很令人心曠神怡，跟專輯封面給人的感覺一樣，淡淡的，很輕柔

JS – 平行線

single_ Burn

歷久不衰的經典
Usher

老實說，我以前沒有很注意亞瑟小子
一直到前幾個月聽了《Confessions》這張專輯才瘋狂愛上他的歌
(幾年前沒注意到真是小的有眼無珠)

原本想寫整張專輯的介紹的
可是拖了好久遲遲不知道要如何下筆
每首歌都扣人心弦，每首歌都讓聽者感動落淚
如果對一張專輯的推薦是每首歌都該聽聽，那還不如不要講
偏偏我就是覺得每首都不能錯過

不過最後還是挑了這首在我心情很低落時最常迴盪在耳邊的《Burn》

Usher – Burn

I don’t understand why
See it’s burning me to hold onto this
I know this is something I gotta do
But that don’t mean I want to
What I’m trying to say is that I-love-you I just
I feel like this is coming to an end
And its better for me to
Let it go now than hold on and hurt you
I gotta let it burn

It’s gonna burn for me to say this
But it’s comin from my heart
It’s been a long time comin
But we done been fell apart
Really wanna work this out
But I don’t think you’re gonna change
I do but you don’t
Think it’s best we go our separate ways
Tell me why I should stay in this relationship
When I’m hurting baby, I ain’t happy baby
Plus there’s so many other things I gotta deal with
I think that you should let it burn

When the feeling ain’t the same and your body don’t want to
But you know gotta let it go cuz the party ain’t jumpin’ like it used to
Even though this might bruise you
Let it burn
Let it burn
Gotta let it burn
Deep down you know it’s best for yourself but you
Hate the thought of her being with someone else
But you know that it’s over
We know it is through
Let it burn
Let it burn
Gotta let it burn

Sendin’ pages I ain’t supposed to
Got somebody here but I want you
Cause the feelin ain’t the same find myself
Callin’ her your name
Ladies tell me do you understand?
Now all my fellas do you feel my pain?
It’s the way I feel
I know I made a mistake
Now it’s too late
I know she ain’t comin back
What I gotta do now
To get my shorty back
Ooo ooo ooo ooooh
Man I don’t know what I’m gonna do
Without my booo
You’ve been gone for too long
It’s been fifty-’leven days, um-teen hours
Imma be burnin’ till you return (let it burn)

When the feeling ain’t the same and your body don’t want to
But you know gotta let it go cuz the party ain’t jumpin’ like it used to
Even though this might bruise you
Let it burn
Let it burn
Gotta let it burn
Deep down you know it’s best for yourself but you
Hate the thought of her being with someone else
But you know that it’s over
We know it is through
Let it burn
Let it burn
Gotta let it burn

I’m twisted cuz one side of me is tellin’ me
that I need to move on
On the other side I wanna break down
and cry (ooooh)
I’m twisted cuz one side of me is tellin’ me
that I need to move on
On the other side I wanna break down and cry (yeah)

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh oooh
Ooh ooh oooh (can ya feel me burnin’?)
Ooh ooh ooh oooh ooh oooh

So many days, so many hours
I’m still burnin’ till you return

When the feeling ain’t the same and your body don’t want to
But you know gotta let it go cuz the party ain’t jumpin’ like it used to
Even though this might bruise you
Let it burn
Let it burn
Gotta let it burn
Deep down you know it’s best for yourself but you
Hate the thought of her being with someone else
But you know that it’s over
We know it is through
Let it burn
Let it burn
Gotta let it burn

p.s. 因為2/29這一天太難得，想說不找個東西寫寫真是可惜，所以才把這首幾百年前就爆紅的歌拿出來，加上阿君一直說亞瑟小子的歌很吵，人家也是有抒情歌的好嗎？(其實Confessions裡面收錄的大都是抒情歌)

p.p.s. 剛剛知道了學測成績各級分的原始分數，我的英文只差零點零五(是的你沒看錯，就是0.05)就滿級了……

single_ Ever Ever After

這是曼哈頓奇緣的其中一段插曲
一開始聽的時候整個被震撼到，
總之又是一首很典型的大眾音樂啦，或許聽久了會膩，
不過當下我覺得很棒。

Carrie Underwood – Ever Ever After

Ever ever after

Storybook endings, fairy tales coming true
Deep down inside we want to believe they still do
In our secretest heart, it’s our favorite part of the story
Let’s just admit we all want to make it too

Ever ever after
If we just don’t get it our own way
Ever ever after
It may only be a wish away

Start a new fashion wear your heart on your sleeve
Sometimes you reach what’s real just by making believe
Unafraid, unashamed
There is joy to be claimed in this world
You even might wind up being glad to be you

Ever ever after
Though the world will tell you it’s not smart
Ever ever after
The world can be yours if you let your heart
Believe in ever after

No wonder your heart feels it’s flying
Your head feels it’s spinning
Each happy ending’s a brand new beginning
Let yourself be enchanted, you just might break through

To ever ever after
Forever could even start today
Ever ever after
Maybe it’s just one wish away
Your ever ever after
Everever ever after

(I’ve been dreaming of a true love’s kiss)

Oh, for ever ever after

single_ I Really Want You

這張專輯我已經聽很久了
不過最近聽這首的時候
不知道為什麼

心會跟著詹姆士布朗特的嗓音一起顫動著

James Blunt – I Really Want You

Many prophets preach on bended knee
Many clerics wasted wine
Do the bloody sheets
On those cardboard streets mean
I have wasted time

Are there silver shores on paradise?
Can I come in from the cold?
I killed a man in a far away land
My enemy untold

I really want you to really want me
But I really don’t know if you can do that
I know you want to know what’s right
But I know it’s so hard for you to do that
And time’s running out as often it does
And often dictates if you can’t do that
Fate can’t break this feeling inside
That’s burning up through my veins

I really want you
I really want you
I really want you now

No matter what I say or do
The message isn’t getting through
And you’re listening to the sound
Of my breaking heart

I really want you
I really want you

Is a poor man rich in solitude?
Or will mother earth complain
Did the beggar pray for a sunny day but
Lady luck for rain

They say a million people bow and scrape
To an effigy of gold
As so life begin
And the ship we’re in
And history unfold

I really want you to really want me
But I really don’t know if you can do that
I know you want to know what’s right
But I know it’s so hard for you to do that
And time’s running out as often it does
And often dictates if you can’t do that
Fate can’t break this feeling inside
That’s burning up through my veins

I really want you
I really want you
I really want you now

No matter what I say or do
The message isn’t getting through
And your listening to the sound
of my breaking heart (x2)

album_ Trust Me

Craig David – Trust Me (2007.11.13)
01. Hot Stuff (Let’s Dance)
02. 6 Of 1 Thing
03. Friday Night
04. Awkward
05. Just A Reminder
06. Officially Yours
07. Kinda Girl For Me
08. She’s On Fire
09. Don’t Play With Our Love
10. Top Of The Hill
11. This Is The Girl

在唱片行一聽到就愛上了

老實說雖然克雷格大衛的歌曲總是受人矚目
但我以前對這個歌手沒有多深的印象
好像只聽過《The Story Goes…》裡面的一兩首吧(而且好像是因為不知道哪本英語教學的雜誌有提到)
可能是我以前沒有認真聽吧
現在覺得我這麼晚才注意到他真是太可惜了

這張專輯裡的每首歌都非常有特色，讓人感覺很輕鬆愉快
專輯中我特別喜歡的有
夾雜著Rap讓人心情特好的《This Is The Girl》
男女對唱的《Awkward》
相對比較溫婉卻依然輕快的《Officially Yours》
其他像是《Kinda Girl For Me》、《Just A Reminder》等等也都非常不錯！！
(根本快把整張專輯都講完了)

總之我個人是相當喜歡這張專輯啦！
