《I Cried For You》——Katie Melua
多变化的歌声和情绪起伏刚好和专辑要呈现的老蓝调和Jazz调调的歌曲吻合,而她擅长的吉他也有莫大发挥。
听着歌词,定会想到过去成就了今天自己的人们, 当初的懵懂与执着, 随着成长发现生活更多的美好,但不忘对当初给予爱的人心怀感恩与深切祝福:
But this life was not for you
Though I learned from you
That beauty need only be a whisper
《I Cried For You》——Katie Melua
我为你哭
you're beautiful so silently
it lies beneath a shade of blue
it struck me so violently
when i looked at you
你是如此的美丽
它在一条蓝色的树荫下
它那么猛烈地触击了我
当我看着你
but others pass, the never pause
to feel that magic in your hand
to me you're like a wild rose
they never understand why
但是其他从未通过,停留
觉得你的手是神奇的
对于我你像野玫瑰
他们从不理解为什么
i cried for you
when the sky cried for you
and when you went
i became a hopeless drifter
but this life was not for you
though i learned from you
that beauty need only be a whisper
我为你哭
当天空为你哭
当你去
我成为了一个绝望的流浪汉
但这种生活不是为你
虽然我从你那里学会的
这些美丽只需要耳语
i'll cross the sea for a different world
with your treasure, a secret for me to hold
我要穿过一个不同的世界
与您的财富,对我来说有一个秘密
in many years they may forget
this love of ours or that we met
they may not know
how much you meant to me
多年来,他们可能忘记
这对我们的爱或者说我们会见
他们可能不知道
你有多少意味给我
i cried for you
and the sky cried for you
and when you went
i became a hopeless drifter
but this life was not for you
though i learned from you
that beauty need only be a whisper
我为你哭
和天空为你哭
当你去
我成为了一个绝望的流浪汉
但这种生活不是为你
虽然我从你那里学会的
这些美丽只需要耳语
without you now i see
how fragile the world can be
and i know you've gone away
but in my heart you'll always stay
没有你现在我看到
多么脆弱的世界
并且我知道你走开了
但在我心中你将永远停留
i cried for you
and the sky cried for you
and when you went
i became a hopeless drifter
but this life was not for you
though i learned from you
that beauty need only be a whisper
that beauty need only be a whisper
我为你哭
和天空为你哭
当你去
我成为了一个绝望的流浪汉
但这种生活不是为你
虽然我从你那里学会的
这些美丽只需要耳语
这些美丽只需要耳语
声线兼备蓝调、民谣、爵士味道的Katie Melua,常被乐评拿来与诺拉琼丝相提并论。但她那相较甜美清澈的年轻嗓音,让人遥想起已逝的跨界流行爵士美声Eva Cassidy。而在被Mike Batt发掘的那天,Katie所演唱的正好就是受Eva启发而学下的创作曲“Faraway Voice”。此外,她也自承在音乐方面受到Queen、Joni Mitchell、Bob Dylan和印度音乐及爱尔兰民谣等多类乐风的影响。
