Eagles - The Last Resort



She came from Providence,
the one in Rhode Island
Where the old world shadows hang
heavy in the air
She packed her hopes and dreams
like a refugee
Just as her father came across the sea
She heard about a place people were smilin'
They spoke about the red man's way,
and how they loved the land
And they came from everywhere
to the Great Divide
Seeking a place to stand
or a place to hide

Down in the crowded bars,
out for a good time,
Can't wait to tell you all,
what it's like up there
And they called it paradise
I don't know why
Somebody laid the mountains low
while the town got high

Then the chilly winds blew down
Across the desert
through the canyons of the coast, to
the Malibu
Where the pretty people play,
hungry for power
to light their neon way
and give them things to do

Some rich men came and raped the land,
Nobody caught 'em
Put up a bunch of ugly boxes, and Jesus,
people bought 'em
And they called it paradise
The place to be
They watched the hazy sun, sinking in the sea

You can leave it all behind
and sail to Lahaina
just like the missionaries did, so many years ago
They even brought a neon sign: "Jesus is coming"
Brought the white man's burden down
Brought the white man's reign

Who will provide the grand design?
What is yours and what is mine?
'Cause there is no more new frontier
We have got to make it here

We satisfy our endless needs and
justify our bloody deeds,
in the name of destiny and the name of God

And you can see them there,
On Sunday morning
They stand up and sing about
what it's like up there
They call it paradise
I don't know why
You call someplace paradise,
kiss it goodbye

David Bowie & Queen - Under Pressure


Under Pressure
David Bowie

Bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah
Bah bah bah bah bah bah
Pressure pressing down on me
Under pressure
That burns a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets

Bah bah bah bah bah bah
Bah bah bah bah bah bah

That's o-kay!
It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming let me out
Pray tomorrow takes me higher
Pressure on people

Do do do bah bah bah bah
O-kay
Chippin around
Kick my brains around the floor
These are the days
It never rains it pours
People on streets
People on streets

It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming let me out
Pray tomorrow takes me higher
People people on streets
Turned away from it all
Like a blind man
Sat on fence but it don't work
Keep coming up with love
But it's so slashed and torn
Why why why?
Love love love love

Insanity laughs under pressure we're cracking
Can't we give ourselves one more chance?
Why can't we give love one more chance?
Why can't we give love give love give love?
Give love give love give love give love give love
Cause love's such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to care
For people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way
Of caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves under pressure
Under pressure pressure

Melanie C - Northern Star


Melanie C
Northern Star (1999)
Northern Star

They tried to catch a falling star.
Thinking that she had gone too far.
She did but kept it hidden well.
Until she cracked and then she fell.

If all the history is true.
She's gonna end up just like you.
You made it to the other side.
But tell me who will be my guide.

They build you up so they can tear you down.
Trust the ocean you'll never drown.
Who is next? Who's gonna steal your crown?
You'll see.

I have learnt my lesson well.
The truth is out there I can tell.
Don't look back and don't give in to their lies and goodbyes.
Northern Star.

Fulfil the longing in your heart.
Then we will never be apart.
And if they dare to question you.
Just tell them that our love is true.

They buy your dreams so they can sell your soul.
Is it any wonder we've lost control?
Feelings come, feelings go.

I have learnt my lesson well.
The truth is out there I can tell.
Don't look back and don't succumb to their lies and goodbyes.
Live your life without regret.
Don't be someone who they forget.
When you're lost reach out for me.
And you'll see she's not far.
Northern Star.
Northern Star.

I have learnt my lesson well.
The truth is out there I can tell.
Don't look back and don't succumb to their lies and goodbyes.
Live your life without regret.
Don't be someone who they forget.
When you're lost reach out for me.
And you'll see she's not far.
Northern Star.
Northern Star.

Blondie - Maria


 


Maria
Blondie

She moves like she don't care
Smooth as silk cool as air
Ooh it makes you wanna cry
She doesn't know your name
And your heart beats like a subway train
Ooh it makes you wanna die

Ooh Don't ya wanna take her
Ooh Don't ya wanna make her all your own

(Chorus):
Maria
You've got to see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Regina
Ave Maria
A million and one
Candle lights

I've seen this thing before
In my best friend
And the boy next door
Fool for love
Fool on fire
Won't come in from the rain
Sees oceans running down the drain
Blue as ice and desire

Ooh Don't you wanna make her
Ooh Don't you wanna take her home

(Repeat Chorus)

She walks like she don't care wanna take her everywhere
Ooh Makes you wanna cry
She's like a millionaire
Walking on imported air
Ooh it makes you wanna die

You were the only one
That I allowed inside my heart
Now I'm just holding on
To something so far gone

JoJo - too little too late




[Verse 1]
Come with me
Stay the night
Just say the words but boy it don't feel right
What do ya expect me to say (You know it's just too little too late)
You take my hand
And you say you've changed
But boy you know your begging don't fool me
Because to you it's just a game (You know it's just too little too late)

So let me go now
'Cause time has made me strong
I'm starting to move on
I'm gonna say this now
Your chance has come and gone
And you know...

[Chorus]
It's just too little too late
A little too long
And I can't wait
But you know all the right things to say (You know it's just too little too late)
You say you dream of my face
But you don't like me
You just like the chase
So be real
It doesn't matter anyway (You know it's just too little too late)

Yeah yeaaahhh... It's just too little too late... Mhmmm

[Verse 2]
I was young
And in love
I gave you everything
But it wasn't enough
And now you wanna communicate (You know it's just too little too late)
Go find someone else
And letting you go
I'm loving myself
You got a problem
But don't come asking me for help
'Cause you know...

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
I can love with all of my heart, baby
I know I have so much to give (I have so much to give)
With a player like you I don't have a prayer
That's the way to live
Ohhhh... mmm nooo
It's just too little too late
Yeaahhhh...

[Chorus]

You know it's just too little too late [2x]

[Chorus]

Linda Eder - Once upon a dream


Once upon a dream(from Jekyll & Hyde) / Linda Eder

Once upon a dream,
I was lost in love's embrace
There I found a perfect place
Once upon a dream
Once there was time
Like no other time before
Hope was still an open door
Once upon a dream



And I was unafraid
The dream was so exciting
But now I see it fade
And I am here alone



Once upon a dream
You were heaven sent to me
But it wasn't meant to be
Now you are just a dream
Could we begin again
Once upon a dream
Could we begin again
Once upon a dream.

Mónica Naranjo,原名Mónica Naranjo Carrasco,出生于西班牙的Figueres。她是西班牙最著名的歌星之一,拥有超过800万的全球专辑销量,令人惊叹。Óyeme(请听我说)是表达对逝去的人的思念,音乐文字间透露出丝丝伤感,深深触动人的心灵。Mónica Naranjo舒缓、忧伤幽暗低沉略带沙哑的的嗓音,内心有痛但却无法哭泣,内心有渴望却无法诉说。确实一首不可多得的经典好歌! &|;!St]!M

Fisher - I Will Love You



Till my body is dust
Till my soul is no more
I will love you
Love you

Till the sun starts to cry
And the moon turns to rust
I will love you
Love you

But I need to know
Will you stay for all time
Forever and a day?

And I'll give my heart
Till the end of our time
Forever and a day

And I need to know
Will you stay for all time
Forever and a day?

And I'll give my heart
Till the end of our time
Forever and a day

Till the stars fill my eyes
And we touch the last time
I will love you
Love you
I will love you
Love you
I will love you
Love you

Vienna Teng - The Tower













Vienna Teng - 史逸欣,一个来自美国旧金山的华裔女创作人,以她澄澈古典的美声与丰富温柔的钢琴创作,获得美国媒体乐评如AMG网站、娱乐周刊、华盛顿邮报等的大力赞赏。2002年个人首张专辑一推出,旋即获得美国各大媒体包括CBS、NPR、NBC、CNN等争相报导,受邀演出于美国艾美奖权威电视节目主持人David Letterman的节目"Late Night with David Letterman",并曾与香岱儿、琼奥斯朋同台演出。一年365天,她有140天是在路上演出及打歌,甚至还为著名民谣歌手Shawn Colvin演唱会暖场4场。

极理性聪颖与感性温柔于一身的史逸欣,放弃美国西电脑软件工程师的高职,投身音乐创作与表演,希望能以歌声温暖每一个短暂相逢的陌路人。她澄澈古典的美声与丰富温柔的钢琴教美国乐评爱不释手。

史逸欣很早就展露她的音乐才华。五岁开始浸淫在巴哈与萧邦的古典钢琴世界里,六岁写下自己的第一首歌,十六岁高中时完成个人首张创作演奏专辑。大学时期的录音作品早在旧金山一带校园周边流传开来,口耳相传中她成为东岸地下音乐圈的学生才女。大学毕业前已完成个人首张专辑的录音制作。

Pajaro Sunrise - Sunday Morning Birds



Pajaro Sunrise是由Pepe López 、Yuri Méndez两人组成的组合,06年5月组队,这是他们发行的第一张同名专辑。从专辑封面上看到的一个人、一辆车,累了睡、醒了走的生活状态,就知道这是一张拥有遐意轻松生活表情的专辑,歌如封面。

整张专辑里混合着INDIE、JAZZ、FOLK等音乐风格,特别是在JAZZ方面,似乎不单包括了《Wild days》中西班牙音乐里常见的BOSSA NOVA,还有些早期的SWING JAZZ的成份在,例如《California lover》的那段钢琴SOLO。其他的都以轻松自然的FOLK与ROCK为主,很可爱随性的一张音乐作品。






Pajaro Sunrise - Automatic




一张绝对适合旅行陪伴的专辑,同样来自西班牙,同样的BOSSA NOVA,同样的简单清新派。虽然Pajaro Sunrise名不见经传到找不到官网,myspace上也什么信息都没有,除了粗粗找到的不超过十句的英文介绍外,其他的全部有看没懂(不知道是不是西班牙文),但这些一点也没妨碍我对于这张专辑好听程度的认可。
