插上耳机眼前就是一幅画——好听到爆的小众英文歌曲

上周日墨尔本又进入了夏令时阶段

莫名的被抢走一个小时觉得好不甘心

忙碌的工作依旧,这周显得格外漫长

这时候你需要的是一首让身心放松的歌曲

文艺的,抒情的,热烈的。。。

想要什么样的心情

带上耳机,点开一首

眼前的世界立刻就变成了你导演的MV

周四已经快过去了,周末还会远吗?

清新
Butterfly Fly Away – Miley Cyrus & Billy Ray Cyrus                          

吉他,轻吟,淡淡的,缓缓地。

歌中不仅有Miley本人的歌声,还有父亲Billy的献唱,更是让这首歌听起来温暖无比。

Long Lost Pen Pal – Hello Saferide


 

还记得年少时的笔友吗,隔着千山万水的那一边,曾经有一个知道你所有小秘密的人。

这首宁静悦耳的歌,讲述的就是与失去联络10年的笔友再次通信时的心情,平凡又感动。

Hello

Do you remember me

I am your long lost pen pal

It must have been ten years ago we last wrote

I don’t really know what happened

I guess life came in the way

Let me know if you’re still alive

Let me know if you ever used that knife or not

Hello

Yes I remember you

I’ve got a husband and two children now

I work as an accountant and make fairly good money

I still have your letters, you used a pink pen to write them

And you would comfort me

When my tears would stain the ink

And I would send you mix tapes with Kate Bush on

I have to admit I sometimes lied in those letters

Tried to make life better than it was

I still wasn’t kissed at sixteen

And I still need a friend

There was this letter

I never told you this back then

But it would be fair to say it saved my life

I sat in the window

The only one left out from a party again

Pretty sure I didn’t have a single friend

Then I checked the mailbox

Dear long lost penpal

I was lying the whole time

I’m really a 46 years old man named Luke

I have three children

And a wife, she doesn’t care

And I hope you don’t resent me

And I hope you do not hate me

For trying to find my way back to what it’s like to be young

I have to admit I sometimes lied in those letters

Tried to make life better than it was

I still wasn’t kissed at sixteen

And I still need a friend

Stephanie Says – Lady&Bird


 

一首轻柔舒缓的民谣。

一支有阳光破碎声音的美丽乐队。

低声絮语,娓娓道来。

Boston – Augustana


 

蓝天,海水,钢琴,波士顿。

迷醉
Help Yourself – Amy Winehouse


 

让人情不自禁跟着节奏摇摆的歌曲,爵士灵歌女王Amy Winehouse浓郁而又温婉的声线动人心弦。

Goodnight Moon – Shivaree


 

甜美又慵懒、颓废又性感的女声,画面感极强的歌词,气氛渲染得带些哥特风,这样极具逼格的歌,当然是昆汀电影里的插曲。

There’s a nail in the door

And there’s glass on the lawn

Tacks on the floor

And the TV is on

And I always sleep with my guns

When you’re gone

There’s a blade by the bed

And a phone in my hand

A dog on the floor

And some cash on the nightstand

When I’m all alone the dreaming stops

And I just can’t stand

What should I do I’m just a little baby

What if the lights go out and maybe

And then the wind just starts to moan

Outside the door he followed me home

Well goodnight moon

I want the sun

If it’s not here soon

I might be done

No it won’t be too soon ’til I say

Goodnight moon

There’s a shark in the pool

And a witch in the tree

A crazy old neighbour and he’s been watching me

And there’s footsteps loud and strong coming down the hall

Something’s under the bed

Now it’s out in the hedge

There’s a big black crow sitting on my window ledge

And I hear something scratching through the wall

Oh what should I do I’m just a little baby

What if the lights go out and maybe

I just hate to be all alone

Outside the door he followed me home

Now goodnight moon

I want the sun

If it’s not here soon

I might be done

No it won’t be too soon ’til I say

Goodnight moon

Well you’re up so high

How can you save me

When the dark comes here

Tonight to take me up

To my front walk

And into bed where it kisses my face

And eats my head

Oh what should I do I’m just a little baby

What if the lights go out and maybe

And then the wind just starts to moan

Outside the door he followed me home

Now goodnight moon

I want the sun

If it’s not here soon

I might be done

No it won’t be too soon ’til I say

Goodnight moon

温柔
Daydreamer – Adele


 

这首是来自Adele的专辑《19》中的第一首歌,旋律简单,柔软婉转。

Adele清雅又略带沙哑的嗓音,高音舒缓,转音自然。

歌词如同一首小诗一般。

Daydreamer

Sitting on the sea

Soaking up the sun

He is a real lover

Of making up the past

And feeling up his girl

Like he’s never felt her figure before

A jaw dropper

Looks good when he walks

Is the subject of their talk

He would be hard to chase

But good to catch

And he could change the world

With his hands behind his back, oh

You can find him sittin’ on your doorstep

Waiting for a surprise

And he will feel like he’s been there for hours

And you can tell that he’ll be there for life

Daydreamer

With eyes that make you melt

He lends his coat for shelter

Plus he’s there for you

When he shouldn’t be

But he stays all the same

Waits for you

Then sees you through

There’s no way I

Could describe him

What I’ll say is

Just what I’m hoping for

But I will find him sittin’ on my doorstep

Waiting for a surprise

And he will feel like he’s been there for hours

And I can tell that he’ll be there for life

Come Here – Kath Bloom


 

这是电影《爱在黎明破晓前》中的深情插曲,歌词温暖动人。

男女主角在视听室中羞涩相望,和着抒情的女声,朦胧而美好。

There’s a wind that blows in from the north,

And it says that loving takes its course.

Come here. Come here.

No I’m not impossible to touch,

I have never wanted you so much.

Come here. Come here.

Have I never laid down by your side?

Baby, let’s forget about this pride.

Come here. Come here.

Well, I’m in no hurry.

You don’t have to run away this time.

I know that you’re timid,

but it’s gonna be all right this time.

An Ocean Apart – Julie Delpy


 

电影《爱在黄昏日落时》中的插曲。虽然是一首英文歌,但却有浓浓的法国香颂的韵味。

或许是因为女声淡淡的沙哑声,或许是流水般的吉他旋律。

怀旧
If I have to go – Tom Waits


 

听着这首歌,脑海中就出现一个70岁的老人,一手夹着雪茄,一手端着威士忌,娓娓道来他50年前的爱情……

Tom’s Diner – Suzanne Vega


 

Suzanne Vega是八十年代民谣运动复兴的领军人物,Tom’s Diner是80年代发行的经典名曲,独立个性的女声,简单直白的节奏,充满画面感的歌词。

I am sitting

In the morning

At the diner

On the corner

I am waiting

At the counter

For the man

To pour the coffee

And he fills it

Only halfway

And before

I even argue

He is looking

Out the window

At somebody

Coming in

“It is always

Nice to see you”

Says the man

Behind the counter

To the woman

Who has come in

She is shaking

Her umbrella

And I look

The other way

As they are kissing

Their hellos

I’m pretending

Not to see them

Instead

I pour the milk

I open

Up the paper

There’s a story

Of an actor

Who had died

While he was drinking

It was no one

I had heard of

And I’m turning

To the horoscope

And looking

For the funnies

When I’m feeling

Someone watching me

And so

I raise my head

There’s a woman

On the outside

Looking inside

Does she see me?

No she does not

Really see me

Cause she sees

Her own reflection

And I’m trying

Not to notice

That she’s hitching

Up her skirt

And while she’s

Straightening her stockings

Her hair

Has gotten wet

Oh, this rain

It will continue

Through the morning

As I’m listening

To the bells

Of the cathedral

I am thinking

Of your voice…

And of the midnight picnic

Once upon a time

Before the rain began…

I finish up my coffee

It’s time to catch the train

Robert’s got a quick hand.

He’ll look around the room, he won’t tell you his plan.

He’s got a rolled cigarette,

hanging out his mouth he’s a cowboy kid.

Yeah he found a six shooter gun.

In his dads closet hidden in a box of fun things,

and I don’t even know what.

But he’s coming for you, yeah he’s coming for you.

All the other kids with the pumped up

kicks you’d better run, better run,

outrun my gun.

All the other kids with the pumped up

kicks you’d better run, better run,

faster than my bullet.

Daddy works a long day.

He be coming home late, yeah he’s coming home late.

And he’s bringing me a surprise.

‘Cause dinner’s in the kitchen and it’s packed in ice.

I’ve waited for a long time.

Yeah the slight of my hand is now a quick pull trigger,

I reason with my cigarette,

And say your hair’s on fire,

you must have lost your wits, yeah.

All the other kids with the pumped up

kicks you’d better run, better run,

outrun my gun.

All the other kids with the pumped up

kicks you’d better run, better run,

faster than my bullet.
