    现在流行写看了让人心酸的歌词来赚眼泪啊......
    都不知道到底该说他清新还是沉重了,风格是清新的,含义是深重的........

    很奇妙的一件事情是我在BUS的一个BLOG里看了这个歌手的介绍然后刷新以后,这篇文章就灵异的消失了,甚至那整个BLOG都消失了.....我只好用网页快照看....

    Brett Dennen - Ain't No Reason
    There ain‘t no reason things are this way
    Its how they always been and it tends to stay
    I can't explain why we live this way, we do it everyday
    Preachers on the podeum speaking of saints
    Prophets on the sidewalk begging for change
    old ladies laughing from the fire escape cursing my name
    I got a basket full of lemons and they all taste the same
    A window and a pigeon with a broken wing
    You can spend you whole life working for something,
    Just to have it taken away
    People walk aroun pushing back their debts
    Wearing pay checks like necklaces and braceltes
    Talking bout nothing, not thinking bout' death
    Every little hearbeat, every little breath
    People walk a tight rope
    On a razors edge
    Carrying their hurt and hatrid and weapons
    It could be a bomb or a bullet or a pen
    Or a thought or a word or a sentence

    There Ain't no reason
    Things are this way
    It's how they've always been
    and its tends to stay
    I dont know why I say
    The things that I say
    But I say them anyway
    But love will come set me free
    Love will come set me free, I do believe
    Love will come set me free, I know it will
    Love will come set my free yes.

    Prison walls still standing tall
    Some things never change at all
    Keep on building prisons, gonna fill them all
    Keep building bombs, gonna drop them all
    Working young fingers bear to the bone
    Breaking your back make you sell your soul
    Like a lung its filled with cold, sufficating slow
    The wind blows wild and I may move
    The politions lie and i am not fooled
    you don't need no reason or a three piece suit
    To argue the truth
    The air on my skin and the world under my toes
    Labor is stiched into the fabric of my clothes
    Chaos and comotion wherever I go
    Love I try to follow

    Love will come set me free
    Love will come set me free, I do believe
    Love will come set me free, I know it will
    Love will come set my free yes.

    There ain't no reason things are this way
    Its how its always been and it tends to stay
    I can't explain why we live this way,
    We do it everyday.

    天知道为什么总有些歌以前不注意现在一听就忽然怀疑自己从前是不是神经失常了居然没觉察到这么好听的旋律,其实是成长了.......

    [chorus]
    It's undeniable how brilliant you are
    In an unreliable world you shine like a star
    It's unforgettable now that we've come this far
    It's unmistakable that you are undeniable

    February 5th, Friday morning, purple dawn,
    Broke a yawn, as I stepped through the fog, like I stepped to a song
    A moment like a poem, you wish you could hold it
    I shut my eyes like it's frozen, it's gone when I open
    It slipped past the clouds right there where it lingered
    Like your band and a girl could slip through your fingers
    My feet hit the ground like a beat for the lonely
    On a path beaten down by the crowds in the morning

    If only I could touch past the phony
    If only they were there now to hold me
    As the questions keep droning

    You're the only one who stuck it out last night
    The only other one who caught the other line
    You're the only one when this world collides
    The one that I can't deny

    [chorus]

    It's my last year here
    My first class moved to portable 'A'
    Under construction since summer
    And it's cold today
    I can see my breath, and what's left of the west parking lot
    And all the spaces that we fought
    And it all seems forgotten, left in the bottom
    In the past, piles of rubble, in puddles of rain water
    That hurt last night when I left like that
    When I won't come back
    Speaking my peace to the past
    I can't help but wonder. who is this wind at my back
    A whisper to walk on, come on from all that

    You're the only one who stuck it out last night
    The only other one who caught the other line
    You're the only one when this world collides
    The one that I can't deny

    [chorus]

    How am I gonna take it away in this winter wind
    You found me on a summer breeze
    How am I gonna run away when the autumn breaks
    Now that you found me in the spring
    Come on and sing it out

    [chorus 2x]

  • The Fray {How To Save A Life}

      The Fray 2002年在丹佛成军,两名核心成员Isaac Slade (吉他,钢琴) 和 Joe King (吉他,主唱)是曾经的校友,没有想到数年后一次在唱片行的相遇成了两人后来组建乐队的契机,意气相投似乎是众多乐队组成的缘分,The Fray也不免俗。Slade和King不久便开始了两人搭档的小型磨合性质的演出,并逐渐摸索形成了自己的风格,既有U2般激扬上进气质又不乏Cunting Crows根源性的摇滚本质,随着Slade两名前队友鼓手Ben Wysocki和吉他手Dave Welsh的加入,The Fray成型了,频繁在丹佛的演出也为乐队打响了一定的知名度,他们流行的曲调迅速风靡,第一张的Demo更是成了当地电台的热播曲,乐队还被丹佛的Westword Magazine评为最佳新进乐队。2004年乐队签约Epic Records,处女大碟《How to Save a Life》于2005年9月出版发行。
      
      The Fray是新一批乐坛新兴血液中受英式乐队诸如Coldplay和Keane影响较深的一支,但也保留了美国90年代传统摇滚Counting Crows和the Wallflowers的气质,还有点Jimmy Eat World这种EMO乐队的冲劲。The Fray这支丹佛四人团的配器钢琴是必不可少的,旗帜般飘扬的主音唱腔颇具英式感,骨子里还是保守的美式作风,时不时来点情绪性的激扬调调,他们不是那种风格一脉相承的乐队,截取各家之长是他们一个显而易见的强项。他们首张专辑《How to Save a Life》的所有歌曲听上去相当甚至是完全迎合当代摇滚乐招揽听众的要求,旋律性,给听者的印象是醒目的,这或许不是那种让人翻来覆去百听不厌的专辑,但在这个速食社会能让你的耳朵留点印象已经不错了。The Fray是支努力的乐队,从来没什么过激言行,"Over My Head (Cable Car") 或是 "Dead Wrong"还能让人听到这支乐队并不肤浅的思想。The Fray不是那种让每个人欢呼雀跃的乐队,他们更像是那种让人惊艳后相传相告的坊间团体,激动人心是初听他们音乐的第一反应,乐队要取得更大的成就还有很多路要走,毕竟仅凭鼓舞人心的调调留住的听众是转瞬即逝的。

    The Fray - How To Save A Life
    Step one you say we need to talk
    He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
    He smiles politely back at you
    You stare politely right on through
    Some sort of window to your right
    As he goes left and you stay right
    Between the lines of fear and blame
    You begin to wonder why you came

    Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
    Somewhere along in the bitterness
    And I would have stayed up with you all night
    Had I known how to save a life

    Let him know that you know best
    Cause after all you do know best
    Try to slip past his defense
    Without granting innocence
    Lay down a list of what is wrong
    The things you've told him all along
    And pray to God he hears you
    And pray to God he hears you

    Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
    Somewhere along in the bitterness
    And I would have stayed up with you all night
    Had I known how to save a life

    As he begins to raise his voice
    You lower yours and grant him one last choice
    Drive until you lose the road
    Or break with the ones you've followed
    He will do one of two things
    He will admit to everything
    Or he'll say he's just not the same
    And you'll begin to wonder why you came

    Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
    Somewhere along in the bitterness
    And I would have stayed up with you all night
    Had I known how to save a life

    Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
    Somewhere along in the bitterness
    And I would have stayed up with you all night
    Had I known how to save a life
    How to save a life
    How to save a life

    Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
    Somewhere along in the bitterness
    And I would have stayed up with you all night
    Had I known how to save a life

    Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
    Somewhere along in the bitterness
    And I would have stayed up with you all night
    Had I known how to save a life
    How to save a life

    Mat Kearney的歌都有鲜明的pop感觉...但是又有些很特别的感觉,听吧.

    Mat Kearney - Breathe In Breathe Out
    Breathe in, breathe out
    Tell me all of your doubts
    Everybody bleeds this way, just the same
    Breathe in, breathe out
    Move on and break down
    If everyone goes away, I will stay
    We push and pull
    And I fall down sometimes
    And I’m not letting go
    You hold the other line
    Cause there is a light in your eyes, in your eyes

    Hold on, hold tight
    If I’m out of your sight
    And everything keeps moving on, moving on
    Hold on, hold tight
    Make it through another night
    In every day there comes a song with the dawn
    We push and pull

    And I fall down sometimes
    And I’m not letting go
    You hold the other line
    Cause there is a light in your eyes, in your eyes
    There is a light in your eyes, in your eyes

    Breathe in and breathe out
    Breathe in and breathe out
    Breathe in and breathe out
    Breathe in and breathe out

    Look left, look right
    To the moon and the night
    Everything under the stars is in your arms

    Cause there is a light in your eyes, in your eyes
    There is a light in your eyes, in your eyes
    There is a light in your eyes, in your eyes
