Sarah Connor - Just One Last Dance

Just one last dance....oh baby...just one last dance

We meet in the night in the Spanish café
I look in your eyes just don't know what to say
It feels like I'm drowning in salty water
A few hours left 'til the sun's gonna rise
tomorrow will come an it's time to realize
our love has finished forever

how I wish to come with you (wish to come with you)
how I wish we make it through

Chorus:
Just one last dance
before we say goodbye
when we sway and turn round and round and round
it's like the first time
Just one more chance
hold me tight and keep me warm
cause the night is getting cold
and I don't know where I belong
Just one last dance

The wine and the lights and the Spanish guitar
I'll never forget how romantic they are
but I know, tomorrow I'll lose the one I love

There's no way to come with you
it's the only thing to do

Chorus 3x (until fade)

Just one last dance, just one more chance, just one last dance


21世纪的开端，芳龄23岁的德国女生Sarah Connor（莎拉-蔻娜），以甜美、带劲的节奏蓝调歌唱实力开始征服欧洲乐坛，祖父的纽澳良血缘让她在幼年时期即深受蓝调灵魂乐的薰陶，14岁时开始在教堂唱诗班担任演唱，并在学校演唱音乐剧，15、16岁便以试唱带向各大音乐厂牌投石问路。

Sarah Connor让人着迷不仅是因为她美妙的嗓音，大量推出具有深度教育意义的作品也让她倍受尊敬。

出道仅两年半时，便已累积多张白金唱片，并获得德国乐坛最高荣耀[Echo音乐奖]最佳流行女歌手大奖，以及VIVA Comet奖最佳新进艺人。

2001年春季，Sarah Connor以挑动情欲的处女单曲《Let’s Get Back To The Bed Boy》，绽放狂野性格，歌曲强势占领德国排行榜亚军，并直入欧陆各国排行榜TOP 10，抢攻欧洲流行单曲榜TOP15，第二首单曲《French Kissing》转而释放灵魂乐的性感魅力，同年底改走情歌路线，推出感人恋曲《From Sarah With Love》成绩益发耀眼,光在德国就卖出75万张，轻易摘下德国榜冠军后座，窜登欧洲Music & Media排行榜TOP 5，并在瑞典与奥地利创造金唱片开出销售红盘，紧接着首张大碟《Green Eyed Soul》更上层楼，不但直袭德国专辑榜亚军，也攻克多国排行TOP10,2002年3月，Sarah Connor获颁德国乐坛最高荣耀的Echo音乐奖最佳流行摇滚女歌手大奖，稍后更勇夺Goldene Europe音乐奖最成功女歌手奖。美国嘻哈大将Wyclef Jean耳闻Sarah歌唱魅力，特地跨刀制作谱写并合唱一曲，此时Sarah Connor已然跻身全球节奏蓝调歌后之林。

Sophie Ellis Bextor - Today The Sun's On Us

她的嗓音被形容是带有disco风味的Chrissie Hynde，她复古冷艳的美貌被拿来媲美Audrey Hepburn，从她身上我们看到了"上帝是不公平的"。她就是英伦乐坛璀璨耀眼的电音女声Sophie ELLIS-BEXTOR。

五月，美艳妖娆的电音芭比Sophie ELLIS-BEXTOR再次闪亮登场，带来07年全新专辑《Trip The Light Fantastic》。初闻此专辑时，第一首歌曲《Catch You》就让我感染到了她无与伦比的“电”力，有了个好开场，自然吸引耳朵欲罢不能地继续听下去。

关于她的辉煌经历，网络里已经随处可寻迹，我就不多赘言了。仅仅一句话，此张新专辑，决不会让乐迷失望。

'Trip The Light Fantastic' is the third album by pop icon Sophie Ellis-Bextor. Featuring production from The B-52's Fred Schnieder and backing vocals supplied by Dan Gillespie Sells of The Feeling, the album is a collection of feel-good yet raunchy pop songs, reminiscent of the work of Girls Aloud.Includes the singles 'Catch You' and 'Me And My Imagination'.

Sophie Ellis Bextor - Today The Sun's On Us

I can see you're somewhere far away
Caught in another place
Where nothings going right
Shouldn't worry about
The worst that could be
When you're here beside me
Don't look for troubled times
Now when everything is fine
[Bridge:]
So you need to fear the bad to see the good
And that's the thing you do
But don't let it spoil the view
Of what's around you
[Chorus:]
There's no rain, there's no storm
Though the blue sky makes you wonder
Don't you fear what will come
Will come
And right now we're in the sun
Sure enough, seasons change
But don't let today get lost
'Cause today the sun's on us
Today the sun's on us

You're so restless
Underneath the surface
Don't you think I notice
It's something you can't hide
When you're fighting with the tide
But you've got to let it go
And just accept the things you can't control
Don't let your shadow spoil the view
Of what's around you
[Chorus]
The years go by
Stars will rise and fall
Will you be by my side
Though it all?
[Chorus]
Today, the sun's on us
