    Katie Goes To Tokyo,是来自瑞典的女创作歌手Kathrine Bergstrom的艺名。《Katie Goes To Tokyo》是她个人的第一张专辑,声音极度清新甜蜜,像极了早期的The Cardigans,清馨略显慵懒的歌声轻而易举地打动人,不知不觉已经喜欢上她。Katie曾和几位好友组成了庞克乐队Backfish,并担任主唱,几经辗转出了第一张专辑《It's Emilys》,不久后解散。后来又和M?rten Tromm组了The Wilson Hospital,于02年在瑞典和日本发行专辑《Medication for a lost generation》。单曲“Call me a.s.a.p”在瑞典成为大热曲目。遗憾的是,发行公司破产,致使绝大部分CD未曾上市。(这张专辑在网络上有试听过,风格跟现在有些差异,也还是不错的一张。)后来的新写的歌,却不十分适合The Wilson Hospital,和搭档协商后,Katie开始了单飞之旅,艺名Katie goes to Tokyo。至于为什么偏偏要goes to tokyo,不为人知。东京这个时尚之都,现代大都会,对于歌手来讲,不容否认,是很有诱惑力的吧。现在这张是Katie的首张同名专辑,在04年5月的时候,录制于三个不同的录音室,包括前搭档在内的一堆牛人,帮助完成了这张专辑。细听下来,今年夏天听过的专辑中,如果说之前澳洲帅哥tamas wells那张是清新男声的典范,那女声则当推Katie了。忘记是哪个网站对专辑介绍了,大意是,宛若早期The Cardigans和Suzanne Vega混合而成的美妙天籁,完美诠释瑞典忧郁流行歌曲。有点缥缈了,却也反映了嗓音的特点。(转)

     

    整张专辑的风格偏向与流行摇滚,尤其喜欢第六首:“If It’s Alright ”  专辑中唯一一首比较软缓抒情的作品。另外推荐一下第九首:“Down At the Coffeeshop”也很不错!电脑里的音乐每天几乎都在增加,但由于工作问题没有更多的时间来和大家分享!见谅了!

     

    If It’s Alright
     
    I haven't seen you since that day
    I drop to think so like you asked me to want that
    We were nothing but a pained memory
    If it's alright with you
    Then it's alright with me
     
    I think about you now and then
    You know I pace to lose so be with on this space
    You don’t know what to missing now but say
     
    If it's alright with you
    Then it's alright with me
    If it's alright with you
    Then it's alright with me
     
    I can tell that you on my mind
    But I won't deep my try to make it change my mind 
    I know I’m better
    Let you go and say
     
    If it's alright with you
    Then it's alright with me
    If it's alright with you
    Then it's alright with me
    If it's alright with you
    Then it's alright with me

    “Yael naim”1978年出生于巴黎。4岁去以色列生活。小时候看了电影《amadeus》后她便决定学钢琴。之后在音乐学院学习了十年钢琴。后来,yael naim对其它音乐类型发生兴趣而放弃了古典音乐。她爸爸听的the Beatles和Aretha Franklin她都非常喜欢。从此她开始受到流行、民谣以及爵士的影响。接着Yael开始尝试作曲,也因此得以释放自己害羞的个性。此后她也在以色列当地的一些爵士CLUB里演唱,之后两年里她在服兵役。不过在服役期间她还是组了一个叫做ANTI COLLISION的乐团。 (转)
     
    New soul选自07年专辑《Yael Naim》,也是“Yael naim”个人的第二张专辑,之前对她不是很熟悉,也是在苹果的广告中了解到的。个人感觉整张专辑做的一般,只有几首听起来还不错,风格偏与流行。倒是“New soul”还好,单听旋律,很欢快,很饱满,配合着歌词,能够表达出歌者对现代生活的想法与态度,对未来生活的向往与憧憬。
     
    New Soul
     
    I'm a new soul
    I came to this strange world
    Hoping I could learn a bit bout how to give and take
    But since I came here, felt the joy and the fear
    Finding myself making every possible mistake
     
    La, la, la, la (21x)
    La, la, la, la (21x)
     
    See I'm a young soul in this very strange world
    Hoping I could learn a bit bout what is true and fake
    But why all this hate? try to communicate
    Finding trust and love is not always easy to make
     
    La, la, la, la (21x)
    La, la, la, la (21x)
     
    This is a happy end
    Cause you don't understand
    Everything you have done
    Why's everything so wrong
     
    This is a happy end
    Come and give me your hand
    I'll take you far away
     
    I'm a new soul
    I came to this strange world
    Hoping I could learn a bit bout how to give and take
    But since I came here, felt the joy and the fear
    Finding myself making every possible mistake
     
    New soul... (la, la, la, la,...)
    In this very strange world...
    Every possible mistake
    Possible mistake
    Every possible mistake
    Mistakes, mistakes, mistakes...

    Tamas Wells既是团名也是其中主唱的名字。这支来自澳洲墨尔本的indie-pop乐团从澳大利亚开始了自己的音乐事业,给整个澳洲乐坛带来了不小的情感冲击,可以说他们的音乐有种打动人心的魅力。专辑《A Plea en Vendredi 》也是相当精彩动听!美丽的山水音乐,带着感情的简单舒缓的旋律和轻柔醉人的嗓音,让人体会这一份充满春天气息的温馨,如沐春风。静夜聆听Tamas Wells的歌曲,你会发现他们的音乐真的是越做越好了。(转)
     
    单曲选自“Tamas Wells”06年的专辑《A Plea en Vendredi 》,也是这个乐队的第二张专辑,08年的新专辑也出来了,有时间挑几首不错的推荐给大家。其实我本人对小清类型的歌曲比较一般,偶尔听听还行!
     
    Valder Fields
     
    I was found on the ground by the fountain
    about a field of a summer stride
    lying in the sun after I had tried
    lying in the sun by the side
     
    we all agreed that the council would
    end up three hours over-time
    shoelaces were tied at the traffic lights
    i was running late, could apply
     
    for another one, I guess
    after parking stores are best
    they said that there would be delays
    on the temporary pay
     
    she was found on the ground in a gown
    laying by the field of the summer asleep
    staring at the concrete, trying not to cry
    when somebody left his life
     
    she would never sleep in a gown
    so she takes his keys to the bedroom door
    takes a step outside, by the fountain
    gazing at the field, what a view

    这位让人无论什么时候看到和听到都倍感亲切可人的瑞典女子,永远是用她轻柔呢喃的声音打动着我们每个人.从1995年的Always You开始,她虽然很低调却倍受注目,她是最典型的那种邻家女孩,好象背后有说不完故事,而她的声音总能为你疗伤,无论是快节奏的Guitar-Folk还是抒情的伤感小调,听过她歌的人都会说她是自己的一个秘密的朋友,一个挚爱的歌手,我们总能信任她,让她来平抚我们的情绪,好的坏的,就像瑞典的气候,可能没有白天,也可能没有黑夜,但我们独自坚强的生活着.(转)
     
    选自02年专辑《Sing And Dance》,正如上面所介绍的一样.她的声音可以疗伤.同样,她的声音也可以带着我们回到过去.充满了无限的回忆与遐想.那个曾属于我们的年代,曾有过的欢声笑语,曾有过的山盟海誓,随着时间的推移,终将渐行渐远...充满了淡淡的甜蜜与忧伤...
     
    Once
     
    Hey you
    can I breathe
    if my chest is covered
    Hey you
    is my face making sense
    Eyes can't be still
    in a moment so tense
    Here babe
    are the notes you must play
    This babe, is the procedure
    Here babe
    not in another way
    I can assure you
    that you will be okey
    Once would do
    once could change everything
    Once could tell
    and help me to clear out
    some things
    Once would make
    no difference at all
    Once or not
    I've already made this fall
    Hey you
    make the most of the time
    You've got to cross many borders
    If you can't control your mind
    something will happen
    it's just a question of time
    Oh babe
    I can not concentrate
    I'm here for the wrong reason
    It's you who makes my knees shake
    One season, then
    the brakes're gonna break

    Oh Laura,之前期叫做Laura,是一支来自Stockholm斯德哥尔摩(瑞典首都)的瑞典乐队.成员有,主唱Frida Ohrn,吉他手Jocke Olovsson和Jorgen Kjellgren,贝司手Rikard Lidhamn,鼓手Magnus Olsson.就像一切来自瑞典的独立乐队一样,他们也有着清新的曲风和迷人的主唱,Frida的嗓音在柔和之中带着一丝沙哑,成熟之余还透着点沧桑感.乐队的配器除了吉他贝斯鼓之外,偶尔还会穿插有口琴,笛子,钢琴,弦乐等.他们的作品不只是简单的Indie Pop,事实上还带着点乡村色彩,这是与其他大多数瑞典独立乐队所不同的,但说到这让我想到了Nina Persson的个人乐队A Camp,那张同名专辑也是独立中带点乡村特点的.这支乐队的首张专辑 A Song Inside My Head, A Demon In My Bed,由2007年5月25日由独立厂牌Cosmos Records公司发行.(转)
     
    喜欢这首歌的女声,也喜欢这种沙哑慵懒的感觉.虽说歌曲比较老了,但听起来的感觉还是很新鲜.整张专辑曲风偏与流行,但声音却比较独立另类.总的来说都还不错,网络中也比较好找,喜欢的朋友们可以去听听!
     

    Call to Arms
     
    I got a song inside my head
    I got a demon in my bed
    They're both keeping me awake
    I'm gonna sing so you can hear
    I'm gonna sing away your fear
    I'm gonna rock you to sleep
     
    A sound of trumpets
     
    Oh please answer to my call
    to arms
    my arms
    tonight
    Everything will be all right
    come here
    my dear
     
    I'm gonna call when you're alone
    I'll be your angel on the phone
    I'm gonna save you tonight
    The way you fear of getting on
    All you gotta do is listen to my song
    And the world is gonna smile
     
    A sound of trumpets
     
    Oh please answer to my call
    to arms
    my arms
    tonight
    Everything will be all right
    come here
    my dear
     
    *Musical Break*
     
    Oh please answer to my call
    to arms
    my arms
    tonight
    Everything will be all right
    come here
    my dear

    以一首《吉祥三宝》闻名的草原小歌手英格玛终于迈出乐坛的新步伐—推出首张个人专辑《乌兰巴托的爸爸》.专辑以清脆的童声演绎了十一首全新歌曲.

      英格玛今年九岁,是内蒙古呼伦贝尔盟鄂温克族牧民的女儿,当她演唱的《吉祥三宝》红遍大江南北的时候,她还只是块未经雕琢的璞玉.当她推出《乌兰巴托的爸爸》这张个人专辑时,已俨然成为中国乐坛一颗闪闪发光的新星了.专辑中所有歌词都朴实如草原上的花朵,有许多赞美草原、唱响童年的牧民童谣,如《草原蒙古人家》、《小草》、《小羊羔》、《岩石》等.表姐诺尔曼作词作曲的主打歌《乌兰巴托的爸爸》继续父女情深对唱:"爸爸的心像是辽阔草原,我是羊群像白云.女儿在遥远的家乡,想念你就拉起这马头琴."在《吉祥三宝》中担任爸爸一角的草原歌手布仁巴雅尔在此碟中继续当英格玛"父亲".

    乌兰巴托的爸爸

      这首歌出自歌手布仁巴雅尔的女儿,英格玛的表姐诺尔曼之手.虽然它也是一首曲调简单的歌谣,但它却是一首不同寻常的歌,是一首有故事的歌.2000 年,布仁巴雅尔因公派至蒙古国学习一年,八岁的诺尔曼在家非常想念远在乌兰巴托的爸爸,便写下了他们父女俩之间的这首感人肺腑的歌.(转)

     

    在内蒙的传唱度比较高,同时自己听起来的感觉也不错,虽然没有特别运用蒙古的"呼麦""长调"等民族唱法,但光是马头琴悠扬的旋律,也将我们带到了那一望无际的大草原.有个女孩,思念着远在乌兰巴托的父亲.在孩子的眼力,父亲总是那么高大,那么宽广,像蔚蓝的天空,想辽阔的草原.'乌兰巴托的爸爸'推荐给大家.

    在很久很久以前,一名瑞典知名音乐制作人派特瑞芮斯(Pat Reniz)心怀大志,企图想改变人们对于舞曲的观念,于是他收拾行囊打算长途远征寻找他的"圣杯".
      
    派特的直觉将他引领至他祖先的发源地即美国伊达荷州的布诺科佛罗城,这座城带给他许多历史的存记及灵感,种种的回溯及热情更坚定了他此趟将不虚此行.在一个星期六的夜晚,他被邀请参加"布诺科佛罗谷仓舞会",在这个日常的舞中也奠定了他此行最丰硕的收获.这场舞会是一场嘉年华会,当晚的最高潮是当地的五人乐团演出,这五人团体是由MARY JOE(主唱)、KEN TACKY(BANJO/主唱及斑鸠琴)、BILLIE RAY及BOBBY SUE(小提琴手)及BILLY BOY STIFF(鼓手)所组成.
      
    在群众的欢呼及叫嚣中,派特断定这五个人就是他所要找的人,于是他把这五人签下来并取名REDNEX,这个团名纯粹是因为这五人在阳光下工作时脖子上所留下的晒斑而取的.派特将他们带回瑞典录制他们的首张专辑《SEX&VIOLINS》,1994年REDNEX风靡全球的首支单曲"COTTON EYE JOE"一发行之后即拿下欧美9个国家的舞曲金榜冠军包括了美国、英国及德国等国家,在德国"COTTON EYE JOE"更是在榜上独霸十周的冠军."COTTON EYE JOE"这首单曲不但让全球的歌迷见识到了REDNEX的新舞曲风格,同时也让REDNEX一跃成为全球瞩目的舞曲团体.接着〈REDNEX〉发行了二首冠军单曲"OLD POP IN AN OAK"及"WISH YOU WERE HERE"!(转)
     
    在"落"听到的这首歌曲,旋律很陶醉,歌词也不错.中秋节听到这样一首略些悲伤与思念的歌曲!欣喜之余,怀念起远方的女朋友和好兄弟们,尽管收到了你们的短信祝福!还是在这里祝你们中秋快乐!也祝愿所有关注我Blog的朋友们开心快乐每一天!
     
    Hold Me For A While
     
    Hold, hold me for a while
    I know this won't last forever
    So hold, hold me tonight
    Before the morning takes you away
    Hold, hold me for a while
    I know this won't last forever
    So hold, hold me tonight
    Before the morning takes you away
    What's that sparkle in your eyes?
    Is it tears that I see?
    Oh tomorrow you are gone
    So tomorrow I'm alone
    Short moments of time
    We have left to share our love
    Hold, hold me for a while
    I know this won't last forever
    So hold, hold me tonight
    Before the morning takes you away
    We're in eachothers armes
    Soon we're miles apart
    Can you imagine how I'll miss,
    Your touch and your kiss?
    Short moments of time
    We have left to share our love
    Hold, hold me for a while
    I know this won't last forever
    So hold, hold me tonight
    Before the morning takes you away
    Hold, hold me now,
    From dusk of light to dawn
    Save, save me now,
    A short moment of time
    Hold, hold me for a while
    I know this won't last forever
    So hold, hold me tonight
    Before the morning takes you away,
    takes you away
     
  • 一朵花心里长出了SEVI,一朵花心里长出了NOMA.相遇然后相爱,相爱然后分开.这就是"sevinoma"这首歌里讲的故事.
    sevinoma,一首国内乐坛罕见的无字歌.它不是悲情的苦闷情歌,也没有华丽的语句铺垫,决不煽情,决不花哨,决不捶胸顿足.仅仅以流畅美好的旋律,以一种自由随性的方式,将人们关于爱情和幸福的思考哼唱了出来.以最原始最简单的词汇,讲述我含泪的心.
    抽身离开那个潮湿巨大的森林,离开熟睡的NOMA,一扇透明的命运之门在身后重重关上,可惜SEVI并没有及时听见那巨大的响声.多象年轻时候的我们自己.幸福就是这样的东西,在它没有被得到以前,在我们失去它以后.才会以份外可贵的面目呈现出来.
    sevinoma,在变回小小种子,开始下一个轮回之前,我呼唤着你的名字.她象甘泉一样在我心里流淌,尽管此刻,我再也没有力气朝向你的方向.(转)

     

    来自杨海潮一张06年的EP《我想你》.共有3首歌,"sevinoma""我想你""生于70年代"也许大家并不是很了解这个人,不过他的作品大概每个人都可以耳熟能详,从最早的"楼兰姑娘"到田震的"干杯,朋友"还有零点乐队的"相信自己"等等..

     

    个人认为他是个比较低调的吟唱者,不刻意,不张扬.他的音乐平易近人,没有华丽的表现手法.想着什么,就唱的什么.一个为唱歌而唱歌的人.真诚,质朴.
