77. Only When I Sleep

The Corrs



歌詞:

You're only just a dreamboat
Sailing in my head
You swim my secret oceans
Of coral blue and red
Your smell is incense burning
Your touch is silken yet
It reaches through my skin
And moving from within
It clutches at my breast

But it's only when I sleep
See you in my dreams
You got me spinning round and round
Turning upside-down
But I only hear you breathe

Somewhere in my sleep
Got me spinning round and round
Turning upside-down
But its only when I sleep

And when I wake from slumber
Your shadow's disappear
Your breath is just a sea mist
Surrounding my body
I'm workin' through the daytime
But when it's time to rest
I'm lying in my bed
Listening to my breath
Falling from the edge
But it's only when I sleep

See you in my dreams
You got me spinning round and round
Turning upside-down
But I only hear you breathe

Somewhere in my sleep
Got me spinning round and round
Turning upside-down
But its only when I sleep
It's only when I sleep

Sharon instrumental

Up to the sky
Where angels fly
I'll never die
Hawaiian High
In bed I lie
No need to cry
My sleeping cry
Hawaiian High

It's reaching through my skin
Movin' from within
Clutches at my breasts
But it's only when I sleep....

See you in my dreams
You got me spinning round and round
Turning upside-down
But I only hear you breathe

Somewhere in my sleep
Got me spinning round and round
Turning upside-down
But its only when I sleep

Up to the sky
Where angels fly
I'll never die
Hawaiian High
In bed I lie
No need to cry
My sleeping cry
Hawaiian High

79. Dreams

The Corrs

MV的中国元素很浓,真可谓歌甜,人美,景物靓



Now here you go again, you say you want your freedom
Well who am I to keep you down
It’s only right that you should play the way you feel it
But listen carefully to the sound

[Bridge]
Of your loneliness
Like a heartbeat drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering what you had
And what you lost
And what you had
And what you lost

[Refrain]
Thunder only happens when it’s raining
Players only love you when they’re playing
Say, women they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean you’ll know, you’ll know

Now here I go again, I see the crystal visions
I keep my visions to myself
It’s only me who wants to wrap around your dreams and
Have you any dreams you’d like to sell

Dreams of loneliness...
[Bridge]

[Refrain thrice]

You’ll know, whoa-o-oa, you’ll know

80. So Young

The Corrs



歌词:

We are taking it easy
Bright and breezy
We are living it up
Just fine and dandy

We are chasing the moon
Just running wild and free
We are following through
Every dream, and every need

And it really doesn’t matter that we don’t eat
And it really doesn’t matter that we don’t sleep
It really doesn’t matter, it really doesn’t matter at all

‘Cause we were so young then
We are so young, so young now
And when tomorrow comes
We’ll just do it all again

We are caught in a haze
On these lazy summer days
We’re spending all of our nights just
A-laughing and kissing, yeah

No it really doesn’t matter if we don’t sleep
No it really doesn’t matter if we don’t sleep
It really doesn’t matter at all

And it really doesn’t matter that we don’t eat
And it really doesn’t matter that we don’t sleep
It really doesn’t matter, it really doesn’t matter at all

And it really doesn’t matter that we don’t eat
And it really doesn’t matter that we don’t sleep
It really doesn’t matter, it really doesn’t matter at all

81.Angel

The Corrs



歌词:
she lived like she knew nothing lasts
didn't care to look like anyone else
and she was beautiful, so beautiful
i still hear her laugh like she's here

shower it down on all the young
it isn't so wrong to have such fun

forever angel
i hope they love you like we do
forever angel
i'll be proud to be like you
be like you
(i'll be proud to be like you)

does the sunshine up at you when you are looking down?
do you get along with the others around?

it's got to be better than before
you don't need to worry now you're gone

forever angel
i hope they love you like we do
forever angel
i'll be proud to be like you
be like you
just like you

and when i go to sleep at night
i'll thank you for each blessed thing sorrounding me
for every fall i'll ever break
each moment`s breath i wanna taste
confidence and conscience
decadent extravagance
never ending providence
for loving when i had teh chance

forever angel
i hope they love you like we do
forever angel
i'll be proud to be like you
forever angel
i'll be proud to be like you
forever angel
i'll be proud to be like you

82. What Can I Do

The Corrs




i haven't slept at all in days
it's been so long since we've talked
and i have been here many times
i just don't know what i'm doing wrong

what can i do to make you love me
what can i do to make you care
what can i say to make you feel this
what can i do to get you there

there's only so much i can take
and i just got to let it go
and who knows i might feel better, yeah
if i don't try and i don't hope

what can i do to make you love me
what can i do to make you care
what can i say to make you feel this
what can i do to get you there

no more waiting, no more, aching
no more fighting, no more, trying...

maybe there's nothing more to say
and in a funny way i'm calm
because the power is not mine
i'm just going to let it fly...

what can i do to make you love me
what can i do to make you care
what can i say to make you feel this
what can i do to get you there
what can i do to make you love me
what can i do to make you care

Paramore,是一支来自美国的年轻乐队,风格是典型的EMO-PUNK,音乐自然而紧凑,散发着浓厚的流行摇滚元素.

  这个年轻的乐队成立于美国Franklin,Tennessee,当13岁就开始唱歌的Hayley从她的老家Meridian搬到当地时遇到了同样热爱音乐的两兄弟Josh Farro和Zac Farro.随后bass手Jeremy Davis,Hunter Lamb加入乐队,一再增添了歌曲更为坚实的音乐架构。他们给自己起了一个特殊的名字 - Paramore。
  随后他们开始在当地校园进行演出,并为一些大牌乐队做垫场嘉宾(据说,某日参加MCR的演唱会时,PARAMORE热场,简直是把场炒得HIGH翻了天),获得了不小的名气!经过几年不断努力练习下,这组青涩的活力队伍,已经登上Purple Door、Warped Tour等重要大型音乐祭典舞台。之后PARAMORE的才华被唱片公司相中,他们的首张作品邀请到了制作人James Wisner (Dashboard Confessional, Further Seems Forever, Underoath) 和Mike Green (Yellowcard, The Black Maria) 来担任。专辑发行后也获得了很好的反响,这也为他们07年的新专辑奠定了基础。07年6月,请到David Bendeth (Breaking Benjamin、Bruce Hornsby)与John Janick (Fall Out Boy、Panic!At The Disco)联手制作的签约华纳后第一张新专辑《Riot!》正式发行,很快就进入了Billboard等排行榜的前列,几个月内便取得了40多万张的销量,这也见证了乐队在过去一年里长足的进步。
  女主唱Hayley Williams——个只有17岁的女孩。她的嗓音声音粗野,狂放不羁,具有相当的震撼力和爆发力。一个Emo-Punk乐队,音乐自然而紧凑,无处不散发浓厚的流行摇滚元素,正如同他们07的新专辑的名字《Riot!》那样,狂而不躁。因此很多人都相信他们会成为未来的王者。在08年的格莱美奖公布提名时,他们也凭借着自己出色的表现,获得了“年度最佳新人奖”的候选资格。

84. Careful

  



歌词:
i sat on down
and twisted up front
the skies die
a smile whirl

you would have never known

i have it all
but not when i wanted
'cause over me was a place uncharted
and overgrown

you make your way in
i resist you, just like this
you can't tell me to feel
the truth never set me free
so i did it myself

you can't be too careful anymore
when all that is waiting for you
won't come any closer
you've got to reach a little more
more
more
more
more

open your eyes
like i opened mine
it's only the real world
life you will never know

shifting your way
to throw off the pain
well you can ignore it
but only for so long

you look like i did
you resist me just like this
you can't tell me to heal
and it hurts remembering
how it felt to shut down

you can't be too careful anymore
when all that is waiting for you
won't come any closer
you've got to reach a little more
more
more
more
more

the truth never set me free
the truth never set me free
the truth never set me free, so i'll do it myself

you can't be too careful anymore
when all that is waiting for you
won't come any closer
you've got to reach out

you can't be too careful anymore
when all that is waiting for you
won't come any closer
you've got to reach out more
more
more
more
more

85.Decode

Paramore





歌词:

How can I decide what's right?
When you're clouding up my mind
Can't win your losing fight all the time
Not gonna ever own what's mine
When you're always taking sides
You wont take away my pride
No not this time
Not this time

How did we get here?
I use to know you so well
How did we get here?
Well, I think I know

The truth is hiding in your eyes
And its hanging on your tongue
Just boiling in my blood,
But you think that I can't see
What kind of man that you are
If you're a man at all
Well, I will figure this one out on my own
(I'm screaming "I love you so..." But my thoughts you can't decode)

How did we get here?
I use to know you so well
How did we get here?
Well, I think I know

Do you see what we've done?
We're gonna make such fools of ourselves
Do you see what we've done?
We're gonna make such fools of ourselves

How did we get here?
I use to know you so well
How did we get here?
Well, I use to know you so well

I think I know
I think I know
There is something that I see in you
It might kill me I want it to be true

86.Ignorance

Paramore







歌词:
If I'm a bad person, you don't like me

I guess I'll make my own way

It's a circle, a mean cycle

I can't excite you anymore

Where's your gavel, your jury?

What's my offense this time? You're not a judge but if you're gonna judge me

Well, sentence me to another life

Don't wanna hear your sad songs I don't wanna feel your pain

When you swear it's all my fault 'Cause you know we're not the same

We're not the same

Oh, we're not the same

Yeah the friends who stuck together

We wrote our names in blood

But I guess you can't accept that the change Is good, is good It's goodddddd Oh you treat me just like another stranger

Well, it's nice to meet you, sir I guess I'll go I best be on my way out

You treat me just like another stranger

Well, it's nice to meet you, sir I guess I'll go I best be on my way out Ignorance is your new best friend

Ignorance is your new best friend

This is the best thing that could've happened

Any longer and I wouldn't have made it It's not a war, no it's not a rapture

I'm just a person, but you can't take it

The same tricks that once fooled me

They won't get you anywhere I'm not the same kid from your memory

Oh now I can fend for myself

Don't wanna hear your sad songs I don't wanna feel your pain

When you swear it's all my fault 'Cause you know we're not the same

We're not the same

Oh, we're not the same

Yeah we used to stick together

We wrote our names in blood

But I guess you can't accept that the change Is good, is good It's goodddddd

Oh you treat me just like another stranger

Well, it's nice to meet you, sir I guess I'll go I best be on my way out

You treat me just like another stranger

Well, it's nice to meet you, sir I guess I'll go I best be on my way out

Ignorance is your new best friend

Ignorance is your new best friend

Ignorance is your new best friend

Ignorance is your new best friend

Oh you treat me just like another stranger Well, it's nice to meet you, sir I guess I'll go I best be on my way out

今天发2首 The Crimea (克里米亚乐队) 2004年专辑《Tragedy Rocks》(悲伤的摇滚)的歌曲

The Crimea (克里米亚乐队)

Davey MacManus 主唱,吉他
Owen Hopkin鼓
Andrew Stafford键盘,和声
Andrew Norton吉他
Joseph Udwin贝司,和声

戴维•麦克马努斯头脑的想法有时候并不那么可爱,但作为克里米亚乐队的主唱,他让乐队好评如潮,在摇滚界刮起了旋风。“悲伤的摇滚”,这只伦敦乐队的首张专辑,华丽而又让人心碎。对音速的执著追求再加上戴维对音乐放荡不羁、苦涩又滑稽的演绎构成了这14首曲调鲜明、优美的乐曲,让人听来时而联想到简陋的大街、时而又体验一下低俗的爱情,让人如品醇酒,一饮而酣。

“悲伤的摇滚”这张唱片成功的诠释了它的主题,大多比较悲伤,它会带给你完全不同的感觉。

乐队曾出现在07年北京流行音乐节和07年北京MIDI音乐节。

87. White Russian Galaxy





歌词:
Straight out of high school
And into the jungle
Searching for Tarzan who might be dad
You kick like a mule
Short of an Oscar
Screaming blue murder at newly weds

Who knows what goes on in her pretty little head
Who knows

You talk like a fish
In nonsensical bubbles
Then blow the word bitch through
your smoke ring
You cause only trouble
You bring only suffering
Just get in the spaceship
and stop bleeding

Who knows what goes on in her pretty little head
Who knows

why do you never sing in church on Sundays
Why won't you ever go all the way You're floating towards heavenly hell
hanging from the rafters like a church bell
You're light years away from reality
Lonely and lost in a White Russian Galaxy

Who knows Who knows what goes on in her pretty little head

88. Someone's Crying

The Crimea





歌词:
Someone’s crying Lord, someone’s crying
Someone’s in trouble Lord, someone’s in danger
Someone’s on their last legs Lord, someone’s on the way out
Someone’s been totaled Lord, someone’s been smoked
Someone made the finest apple pie
This side of the after life
Someone’s never reached the big 30
How could you let her go
How could you let her go, oh silent one
Someone’s crying Lord, someone’s crying
Someone who meant something to me Lord, someone I needed
Someone came along Lord, someone stopped me in my tracks
Someone’s been butchered Lord, someone’s not coming back
Someone made the finest apple pie
This side of the after life
Someone never made it through their teens
Still you failed to intervene
Still you failed to intervene
Oh silent one
Someone gargantuan Lord
Someone titanic
Someone of substance Lord
Someone of granite
Someone’s no longer Lord
Somebody’s had it
And where was your magic Lord
Where was your magic?

89.One By One

来自 2004年专缉《Two》





歌词:
he stands alone outside the blooming yard
all is calm there on the street
the shadows pass him hung right over
the pain on his face he knew he’d keep
his hair is long and it’s twisted, its twisted
around the smile spread cheek to cheek
another child, another soul, grabs a hold
to the metal that will end his misery

chorus:
one by one
we stand beneath the sun
with arms high open wide
two by two
he’s getting you
to watch him as he leaves this life he knew

how much anger is set aside
as each one of us cries
red lights they come and they take him away
in the thoughts he’ll be better someday
tied tight, can’t see out your eyes
that he’s sure to shine
in this deep dark, fucked up, played out reality show
so, who’s the man with the plan?
eating up all that he can
don’t you see, don’t you see?

chorus

do you ever think things are meant to be?
i know we all have our reasons why
and now the power of one human being
has gone and changed so many lives

chorus

one by one
we start to come undone
two by two
he’s getting through to you
one by one we stand, we stand, over
over you

Ataraxia

组建于1985年的Ataraxia从事音乐创作的根本动力来自他们对古老年代的痴迷,无论是东方玄学、地中海文明或者是北方凯尔特文化,也无论是音乐、绘画、宗教、科学、哲学、数学、建筑学甚至是魔法巫咒,凡是与古代文化相关的一切都能让他们着迷。以Ataraxia为名,是他们认为要达到 ataraxia的精神境界,只有通过沉思才能不断认知和接受生活,这正是他们所需要的生活态度,而通过沉思又能启发自我的创造力,所以创造是他们从事一切学习和研究的基础。作为意大利最杰出的Dark Wave乐队之一,Ataraxia擅长将民谣、中世纪、文艺复兴、巴洛克、古典主义等不同艺术时期的音乐元素揉合到他们那如织锦般繁杂而华贵的音乐创作中,并将这一才能拓展到绘画、诗歌、舞台表演等不同的领域中尽情发挥,其中尤以乐队融合了戏剧、舞蹈、视觉艺术等多种艺术手段的现场表演最令人瞩目。从 1985年至今十多年的艺术生涯里,他们坚持"创造"为其艺术的基础,不断求新求变,其锐意进取的积极态度令大多数乐队汗颜,更使得所有人都对之肃然起敬。

正是对于古希腊\拉丁\凯尔特文化的热情使得Ataraxia试图通过音乐来重现在他们游历世界各地、探寻古文明过程中所带来的神秘而令人兴奋的体验,而这也为他们的创作带来了源源不断的灵感。"我们遵寻着天性的感召,在不为人知的神秘灵性召唤下,近乎无意识地进行着创作。犹如远古时酒神狂欢节上被魔咒迷狂的音乐家,自然之神在他们耳边秘语,通过音乐传述着神圣的意旨,我们是女巫和灵媒,传述着历史之母和时间之父的话语..."

Catatonia

Catatonia 这队来自威尔士的 1 女 4 男乐队 1998 年出版了一张甚具流行潜质的热卖专辑《International Velvet》。唱片不但被 Melody Maker 选为 1998 年度的全年最佳大碟,而当中抽了来作单曲发行的“Mulder And Scully”及“Road Rage”亦分别得到商业上及听众间的支持(后者最后更成为 Q 音乐杂志的全年最佳乐队单曲)。再看于年尾的两个颁奖礼 The Brits Awards 和 Mercury Music Prize 都曾成为候选者,其中前者就分别被提名为最佳专集、最佳单曲及最佳英伦乐队,虽然 Catatonia 最后都饮恨而回,但整个 1998 年对 Catatonia 来说都甚为重要,因为他们已经由一队成功的 Indie - Rock 乐队转化为一个家传户晓的名字。

  Catatonia 之所以能够从十万八千队于独立音乐圈子打滚的乐队群中脱颖而出,除了有些不能抹煞的运气因素外,其音乐实力亦是不可或缺的因素。到底从乐队出道到近年的作品中,都引证着简洁及坦率的原则。首先是乐队的音乐从来都有着美妙、讨好的调子,无论是早期那较为原始粗糙质感又或是现在注重修饰表现手法的作品都难掩其 Catchy 的旋律化特色。另外乐队一向都用较为具体与简单明确的手法撰写歌词,所以在其歌曲中道出的事物及情感,都会较容易使大众了解及产生共鸣。乐队的女歌手 Cerys Mattews 便曾表示过:“大多数人造着抽象的音乐,我们只会用音乐来表达实在的看法与感觉,而我们也不会去造一些外表吸引却充满废话的作品。”既有良好的音乐基础及鲜明的表达文字,大概乐队已手握着流行舞台的钥匙,剩下来的就是这些作品由一位怎样的 Front Person 吸引地带到听众的心坎。事实证明,Cerys 这位有高度可塑性唱腔的女歌手绝对能胜任这个任务。从早期散发着少女甜美娇柔感觉,到近期肉紧得歇新底里的咆哮都挥洒自如,她似乎是具有一种予人好感的特质,再加上平素不作夸张、坦白非常的与传媒对话,Cerys 是被公认为自 Blondie 的 Debbie Harry 以后一位广受男女听众爱戴的女歌手。

  Catatonia 的组成经过并不十分传奇,情况大概是在 1991 年间,吉他手 Mark Roberts 准备自组乐队之际,偶然地在卡迪夫遇到 Cerys 这位曾当过不少不合心意职业的小妮子于街头献唱。在互相对音乐有着相同的见地之下,他俩便开始写歌,并向外邀了低音吉他手 Paul Jones、鼓手 Dafydd Leuan 及键琴手 C.Pegg 等组成了 Catatonia 第一代的 5 人阵容。在首先签约至一所威尔士独立厂牌 Crai 的这段光景,乐队分别在 1993 年及 1994 年发表过 2 张细碟《For Tikerbell Hooked》。凭着一份不熟练、不刻意修饰的初生之犊 Indie - Rock 曲式,其出色的以 80 年代后期为根的音乐魅力很快便吸引着音乐传媒。但在这段时间,队中的 Dayfydd 及 Pegg 决定离队发展,使乐队的首个阶段告一段落。

  在分别先后邀来鼓手 Aled Richards 及吉他手 Owen Powell 后,这维持至今的阵容便先后投进 Nurser 及 Blenco Y Negro 旗下,发表连串的单曲如“Bleed、You're Got A Lot To Answer For”,正式使人了解到乐队的甜美、悦耳的 Indie - Rock。其后于 1996 年,乐队便分别发表过 2 张专辑《The Sublime Magic Of Catatonia》和《Way Beyond Blue》,前者完全地记录了乐队一些早期来得较具原始气息及用威尔土语主唱的作品;后者却是一张把乐队带进流行乐坛的重要作品,无论是旧歌再重新编制或新歌的处理手法,都带来了一份悦耳及难忘的聆听经验。

  1998 年的《International Velvet》出现是进一步显示了乐队在流行乐坛的一次实力展现,在少了一份昔日的独立气息之余,其作品都具有较为大路,直接的 Anthem 式作品,糖衣般的旋律亦无处不在,而在当地正值 X - Files 热席卷之际出现的曲目“Mulder And Scully”及街头暴力现象正盛时作出隐喻的歌曲“Road Rage”都表现出乐队的流行触觉。

93.Mulder And Scully

出自1998年专缉 <International Velvet>.





歌词:
I'd rather be liberated,
I find myself captivated
Stop doing what you...
Keep doing it too...
I'd rather stay bold and lonely,
I dream I'm your one and only
Stop doing what you...
Keep doing it too...
Things are getting strange, I'm starting to worry
This could be a case for Mulder and Scully
Things are getting strange, now I can't sleep alone
I'd rather be jumping ship,
I find myself jumping straight in
Stop doing what you...
Keep doing it too...
Forever be dozy and dim,
I wake myself thinking of him
Stop doing what you...
Keep doing it too...
My bed is made for two and there's nothing I can do
So tell me something I don't know
If my head is full of you is there nothing I can do?
Must we all march in two by two by two?
Things are getting strange, I'm starting to worry
This could be a case for Mulder and Scully
Things are getting strange, now I can't sleep alone
And as for some happy ending,
I'd rather stay single and thin
Stop doing what you...
Keep doing to me
So what have you got to say about that?
And what does someone do without love?
And what does someone do with love?
And what have you got to say about that?

94.Road Rage

出自Catatonia 1998年专缉 <International Velvet>.





歌词:
If all you've got to do today is find peace of mind
Come round you can take a piece of mine
And if all you've got to do today is hesitate,
Come here, you can leave it late with me.
You could be taking it easy on yourself
You should be making it easy on yourself
Cause you and i know,
It's all over the front page, you give me road rage,
Racing through the best days,
It's up to you boy you're driving me crazy,
Thinking you may be losing your mind.
If all you've got to prove today is your innocence,
Calm down, you're as guilty as can be,
If all you've got to lose alludes to yesterday,
Yesterday's through, now do anything you please.
You could be taking it easy on yourself
You should be making it easy on yourself
Cause you and i know,
It's all over the front page, you give me road rage,
Racing through the best days,
It's up to you boy you're driving me crazy,
Thinking you may be losing your mind.
You're losing your mind.
You, you've been racing through the best days
You, you've been racing through the best days.
Space age, road rage, fast lane,
And if all you've got to do today is find peace of mind
Come here, you can take a piece of mine.
You could be taking it easy on yourself
You should be making it easy on yourself
Cause you and i know,
It's all over the front page, you give me road rage,
Racing through the best days,
It's up to you boy you're driving me crazy,
Thinking you may be losing your mind.
But you and i know,
We all live in the space age, coming down with road rage,
Racing through the best days
It's up to you boy you're driving me crazy,
Thinking you may be losing your mind.
It's not over, it's not over, it's not over,
It's not over, it's not over, it's not over, you and i know
We all live in the space age, you give me road rage,
Racing to the best days
It's up to you boy you're driving me crazy,
Thinking you may be losing your mind.
Losing your mind
