No Turning Back - Sarah Blasko

澳洲音乐人Sarah Blasko出生于天主教传教士家庭,她的音乐记忆始于教堂的唱诗班。虽然有一个唱女高音老妈,但Sarah Blasko却并不认为自己的音乐天分遗传自这位“音盲”老妈,按照她的说法,是她那英文/历史学硕士的爸爸把她带进音乐殿堂的。 

2002年,她在悉尼的家里和朋友们一起录制了一张EP『Prelusive』,这张EP并没有为她带来太多的关注,却为她打开了独立音乐之门。几个月后,Sarah Blasko和Brisbane的新唱片厂牌Dew Process签约。2004年,Sarah Blasko推出了第一张个人专辑『The Overture and the Underscore』,她的演唱和作词才华受到了评论界的一致赞赏。仅就创作才华而言,Sarah Blasko完全可以和Missy Higgins相提并论,但是她的音路比较边缘,有点儿偏慢偏冷,形象也不是很亲和,不太讨好乐迷。  

在这张专辑里,Sarah Blasko并没有在演唱技巧上下很多功夫,嗓音里与生俱来的颓废感很轻易就能把许多感情唱得很矛盾很忧伤,当然她的懒散唱法能唱的如此婉转、优雅、精致也是相当不错的。


《No Turning Back》——Sarah Blasko

I was involved,
Willing or not,
Born in the spark of an eye.
A city on fire,
Is out of control,
I put it down to the match.
In my hand,
On my heart,
Once again.
Against my will,
My own right mind,
Knocked down in the sand.(Chorus)
But there's no turning back,

There's no turning back.
So stop those tears in their tracks
Cause there's no turning back.
So come in your will
To sit on your hands
Did you only want me to love?
To sit for a while,
A talk and a drink,
I followed much to well.
I carried on,
I broke the ice,
It melted once or twice.
I put my heart
Right on the line
Now it's time, my love, it's time.(Chorus)
For there's no turning back,
There's no turning back,
So stop those tears in their tracks,'
Cause there's no turning back.(Bridge)
And when I'm in your arms
I'll try to relax.
Don't wanna lie awake in your arms
Wondering where we're at.
Oh this tossing and turning
Won't clear these blues away
When I am longing just to hear you say,(Chorus)
There's no turning back
There's not turning back
So stop those tears in their tracks'
Cause there's no turning back
There's no turning back
There's no turning back,
So put your heart in my hands,'
Cause there's no turning back,
Oh, there's no turning back,
Oh, there's no turning back,
I said there's no turning back.
