周日去天河城——忙了两天的周末,最后来兑现给偶丫头的承诺——在广场听到一个奇特的女声,唱着一首舒缓慵懒的曲子,不由得停下来听完了她。。。


昨天一天没空,今天抽时间Google了一下歌词,原来叫做’Sway’,演唱者也是词曲作者,叫做Bic Runga,站点做的还可以:

这个奇怪的名字。。。看了介绍才知道,Bic生于1976年,父亲是退役的毛里士兵,母亲Sophia是中国人(据说姓邓),两人在越南战争中认识,现在定居在New Zealand(好地方呀好地方),Bic有两个姐姐:Boh & Pearl,这两个姐姐也都是音乐人,大姐Boh为是Stellar*的主歌手兼guitar,二姐Pearl是Ce Soir的歌手,可以称之为新西兰第一流行乐家庭了。

这首’Sway’来自Bic的首张专辑”Drive”,后来还被选入电影”American Pie”(1999)的原音(咦,怎么我看电影的时候没留意呢),让美国人好好认识了一下这位新西兰女孩。

Bic的出身颇有意思,给了牛人可能可以编出一部大片(越南、残酷的战争、跨国恋情、新西兰、摇滚乐 =_=bb ),歌儿不错,尤其是Bic的咬字别扭的很有特色,真的能把太平洋的风情带到身边。去MusicMp3.Ru下了,有兴趣的可以找来听。

Sway

by Bic Runga

Don’t stray
Don’t ever go away
I should be much to smart for this
You know it gets the better of me
Sometimes
When you and I collide
I fall into an ocean of you
Pull me out in time
Don’t let me drown
Let me down
I say its all because of you
And here I go
Losing my control
I’m practicing your name
So I can say it to your face
It doesn’t seem right
To look you in the eye
And let all the things you mean to me
Come tumbling out my mouth
Indeed its time
Tell you why
I say its infinitely true

Say you’ll stay
Don’t come and go
Like you do
Sway my way
Yeah I need to know
All about you

And there’s no cure
And no way to be sure
Why everythings turned inside out
Instilling so much doubt
It makes me so tired
I feel so uninspired
My head is battling with my heart
My logic has been torn apart
And now
It all turns sour
Come sweeten every afternoon

Say you’ll stay
Don’t come and go
Like you do
Sway my way
Yeah I need to know
All about you
Say you’ll stay
Don’t come and go
Like you do
Sway my way
Yeah I need to know
All about you

Its all because of you
Its all because of you

Now
It all turns sour
Come sweeten every afternoon

Its time
Tell you why
I say its infinitely true

Say you’ll stay
Don’t come and go
Like you do
Sway my way
Yeah I need to know
All about you
Say you’ll stay
Don’t come and go
Like you do
Sway my way
Yeah I need to know
All about you

Its all because of you
Its all because of you
Its all because of you
