Five For Fighting - 100 Years



100 Years
Five For Fighting

I'm 15 for a moment
Caught in between 10 and 20
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
I'm 22 for a moment
She feels better than ever
And we're on fire
Making our way back from Mars
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live
I'm 33 for a moment
Still the man, but you see I'm a they
A kid on the way
A family on my mind
I'm 45 for a moment
The sea is high
And I'm heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy, Time to lose yourself
Within a morning star
15 I'm all right with you
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live
Half time goes by
Suddenly you’re wise
Another blink of an eye
67 is gone
The sun is getting high
We're moving on...
I'm 99 for a moment
Dying for just another moment
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
15 there's still time for you
22 I feel her too
33 you’re on your way
Every day's a new day...
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose
Hey 15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live

Emiliana Torrini - Sounds Of Silence

按此在新窗口浏览图片

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence

"Fools", said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed
In the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls"
And whispered in the sounds of silence

Emiliana Torrini - Today Has Been Okay



Emiliana Torrini
Today Has Been Okay

Friends tell me it's spring
My windows show the same
Without you here the seasons pass me by

I know you were not new
It looked like May in June
All the same I miss you
Today has been okay
Today has been okay

Preacher lost his son
He is known by all in town
He found him with another son of God
Feeding on the prey
Nevermind what God says
But love it lost its cards
And I thought today had been okay
Today has been okay
Today has been okay

Wind has burned your skin
The lovely air so thin
The salty water is underneath your feet
No one's gone and bathed
Here is where you'll stay
This life has been insane
But today has been okay
Today has been okay
Today has been okay
Today has been okay



13岁的时候.Emiliana Torrini为她爸爸的生日录制了一卷录音带。她的音乐天赋已经开始得到显现。现在的Torrini还很年轻,对于她来说,也许人生哲学就是在冒险中平衡自身的矛盾感。正如她在她的歌中,尝试去描述她的所有感觉。就好象她写的歌词往往很简单,通常只是日常生活中的一些小事物。但是不难发觉,Torrini的音乐实在要比bjork多了份乐观,从容。
 Emiliana Torrini加入 Virgin 后发行了首张专辑。这张专辑在欧洲获得了巨大的成功。不少杂志,例如CMJ都对她的音乐津津乐道。对于一个新晋歌手,她的才能已得到大众肯定。 ,f.KY(4-

歌手兼词曲创作人,Emiliana Torrini的歌声只可以用美丽来形容,和Beth Hirsch 和 Kirsty Hawkshaw的声音一样迷人,这使得她的形象就是多了一层脱俗的色彩。Emiliana同时兼具了意大利女人和冰岛女人的端庄大方的气质,但她居住在英格兰,如果你听到她那温柔细腻的声音,更会觉得她那带着海一样气息的气质是多么的吸引人。200年,她在与Tears for Fears的Roland Orzabal一起合作下,完成了处女专辑《Love in the Time of Science》,同年秋由Virgin厂牌发行。

Emmy Rossum - Slow Me Down


Slow Me Down
Emmy Rossum

Rushing and racing
and running in circles
Moving so fast, I'm forgetting my purpose
Blur of the traffic is sending me spinning
Getting nowhere

My head and my heart are colliding, chaotic
Pace of the world
I just wish I could stop it
Try to appear like I've got it together
I'm falling apart

Save me
Somebody take my hand, and lead me
Slow me down
Don't let love pass me by
Just show me how
'Cause I'm ready to fall
Slow me down
Don't let me live a lie
Before my life flys by
I need you to slow me down

Sometimes I fear that I might dissapear
In the blur of fast forward I faulter again
Forgetting to breathe, I need to sleep
I'm getting nowhere

All that I've missed I see in the reflection
Passed me while I wasn't paying attention
Tired of rushing, racing and running
I'm falling apart

Tell me
Oh won't you take my hand and lead me
Slow me down
Don't let love pass me by
Just show me how
'Cause I'm ready to fall
Slow me down
Don't let me live a lie
Before my life flys by
I need you to slow me down

Just show me
I need you to slow me down

The noise of the world is getting me caught up
Chasing the clock and I wish I could stop it
Just need to breathe, somebody please
Slow me down

Jessica Simpson - O Holy Night












O holy night! The stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of our dear Saviour's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining.
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks, a new and glorious morn.

Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices!
O night divine, oh night when Christ was born;
O night divine, oh night, oh night divine.

(Ohh...)
Ohh yeah

The King of Kings lay thus in lowly manger
In all our trials born to be our friend.

Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices!
O night divine oh, oh night when Christ was born;
O night divine, oh night divine, mmm...

Jessica Simpson's version of the popular Christmas carol is featured in a promotional video released by Columbia Records. The video is very simple, using only one scene throughout the entire song. Jessica sings into a solo standing microphone with her back to a beautiful star-lit night sky. She is wearing a simple, but elegant, white and black dress along with sparkling diamond jewelry. The director also includes a close-up look at Simpson's shiny wedding ring set.
