从无意间下载的的一首<the lady in red>认识的一个人，Chris De Burgh,中文叫克里斯.蒂伯。

        出生在阿根廷的英国人，和the beatles同时期，在当时也红极一时。之前并未注意过，但他的歌听起来却很熟悉，像<a spaceman came travelling><natasha dance>，还有一首<lebanese night>很有阿根廷的感觉。听他的歌会让人忍不住想起<罗马假日>那样的电影，黑白，却充满浪漫的想象，淡淡的，有种那个时期特有的忧伤，可能是因为很多他的歌都是电影插曲的缘故，像<the lady in red><songbird>。

        他的情歌很多都和<the lady in red>一样，用“我”的第一人称直抒胸臆，歌词都很美，旋律缓缓，于是想起那些电影片段里相爱的男女相拥而舞的场面，款款深情，脉脉无语。

        觉得在现在这样一个年代听Chris De Burgh，很净化心灵，不商业，追求着艺术的唯美。像<songbird>里唱的：

I heard a voice so pure and easy, a songbird singing for me,
I had no choice, only to listen, and surrender to her world...

        De Burgh对于我就像那只songbird...sings from the high walls of heaven...

The pale blue light along the coast
Is one of those I miss the most
There was that day
You touched my hair
And said, my love, it’s so unfair
It’s too late to sit on the sun
And lately we’ve just begun
Oh it’s too late to tell everyone
But lately we’ve just begun

The one thin light that drove the peer
Seems very far when you are here
There was that day
You took my hand
And said, my love, that’s where it ends
It’s too late to sit on the sun
And lately we’ve just begun
Oh it’s too late to tell everyone
But lately we’ve just begun

The pale blue light along the coast
It means the one
I like the most 
There was that day 
You touched my hair
And said, my love, it’s so unfair

        懒懒的一首歌,气氛很像秋天的午后，但背景音乐更像是某个海风吹吹的夏天午后……可惜我这里的夏天午后只有空调，实在展开不了那样的想像。歌词内容细听听有点淡淡的BLUE，她不停的唱It's too late ...(关于歌名，sit ON the sun还是sit IN the sun好像版本不一么)

        来自Keren Ann。

        通过古灵精怪的Angela知道的一个法国才女。她的所有音乐中似乎都有吉它的参于，恩，因为人家就是吉它才女么，融合古典和现代的吉它才女，据说还融合了欧洲文学诗歌民谣……(这个~~欧洲我了解的不多没法通过她的歌看出来)。

        让我第一眼就瞧上她的是<not going anywhere>,也就是<sit on the sun>所在的同名专辑名。

        安静庸懒的曲子，富有诗意的歌词，Keren Ann因其清新的风格被称为长刺前的玫瑰、水中月、镜中花……(FT说她的声音不好听？)声音不华丽不修饰,请水出芙蓉。

        呵，说法国人讲英语像念法语，听了她的<sailor and widow>后深有同感^^

So, no one told you life was gonna be this way
Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's D.O.A.
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
Well, it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year

But,

I'll be there for you when the rain starts to pour
I'll be there for you like I've been there before
I'll be there for you 'cause you're there for me too

You're still in bed at ten and work began at eight
You've burned your breakfast, so far, things are going great
Your mother warned you there'd be days like these
But she didn't tell you when the world has brought you down to your knees

that

I'll be there for you when the rain starts to pour
I'll be there for you like I've been there before
I'll be there for you 'cause you're there for me too

No one could ever know me, no one could ever see me
Seems you're the only one who knows what it's like to be me
Someone to face the day with, make it through the rest with
someone I'll always laugh with
Even at my worst, I'm best with you. Yeah!

<FRIENDS>还没看多少，但这 首歌已经听了很多很多遍，I'll be there for you when the rain starts to pour...念一遍再念一遍，跟我一起念吧
