用Spotify的好處就是有時你會從你沒有想到的國傢中找到你平時完全沒有想到的好音樂～
NOËP就是一個很好的例子～
來自愛沙尼亞的Andres Kõpper又稱NOËP在去年發表了這支單曲～
整首歌充滿著輕鬆愉快的節奏加上正面的歌詞帶上稍微有點低沉的聲音～
很難不讓人一聽就愛～
在一次訪談中他提到這首歌原本設定的風格是鼓打貝斯(Drum & Bass)而不是現在你所聽帶著一絲熱帶浩室(Tropical House)感覺的風格～
是在製作這首歌過程中的一天他做出了一個不同的版本於是就發展出現在大家聽到的版本～
至於為什麼會用NOËP這個名字則是因為在愛沙尼亞文中這個字的是帶有"經過深思熟慮後的肯定"的意思～
這也是他與他的音樂的一個重要方向～正面積極但又不天真～

新年的第二天就讓我最愛樂團之一的OneRepublic的超勵志歌曲來激勵大家～
這支MV以在西方白人中最常見的體染色體隱性遺傳疾病-囊狀纖維化-為MV的主題～
以在去年成功以單車騎超過1200英哩(1930公里)為囊狀纖維化基金會募款30萬美金的囊狀纖維化患者Bryan及其隊友為背景
並穿插樂團於科羅拉多州著名的紅石露天劇場的現場演唱會片段～
這首歌的歌詞真的寫得讚到不知道要怎麼說了～
希望我們都可以在那刻來臨時說出～
我不虛此生～

OneRepublic - I Lived

Hope when you take that jump,
You don't fear the fall.
Hope when the water rises,
You built a wall.

Hope when the crowd screams out
It's screaming your name
Hope if everybody runs
You choose to stay

Hope that you fall in love
And it hurts so bad
The only way you can know
You give it all you have

And I hope that you don't suffer
But take the pain
Hope when the moment comes, you'll say

I.....i I did it all
I.....i I did it all
I owned every second that this world could give
I saw so many places
The things that I did
Yeah, with every broken bone
I swear I lived

Hope that you spend your days
But they all add up
And when that sun goes down
Hope you raise your cup
Oh, oh

I wish that I could witness
All your joy
And all your pain
But until my moment comes
I'll say

I...i.I did it all
I...i.I did it all
I owned every second that this world could give
I saw so many places
The things that I did
Yeah with every broken bone
I swear I lived

Oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh (x3)

With every broken bone
I swear I lived
With every broken bone
I swear I

I....I did it all
I....I did it all
I owned every second that this world could give
I saw so many places
The things that I did
Yeah with every broken bone
I swear I lived

Oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh (x2)
I swear I lived
Oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh (x2)

拿Mat Kearney去年底發的新專輯首支單曲來當2015的開年曲真的很適合～
輕快活潑的跟Mat一路跳進2015~
我一直很喜歡Mat Kearney的聲音及歌曲～
若要說療癒系歌手我真的覺得Mat當之無愧～
他的前三張專輯都是不知不覺的就聽完了然後就繼續重播～
等到真正回過神來就已經重播了好幾次～
新專輯Just Kids要在今天出發行了～
超期待的啊！！！

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2015!!! :D

Mat Kearney - Heartbeat

Nashville is burning tonight
You turn me bright round, baby like a forty-five
And I'm feeling every song that this town could write
With the fire in my head
And the tremble in my chest
Just take one look in my eyes and they will confess
That you got me feeling so high
And you are the rhythm of my life

I feel your heart beat, beat, beat
Beating right next to me
That keep, keep, keep
I be feeling like I believe
All the things, baby, that we could be
I feel your heart beat, beat, beat
Beating right next to me
Beating right next to me
Beating right next to me

I feel your heart beat
I feel your heart beat
I feel your heart beat
Heart beat, your heart beat

Ain't bringing you no games
Ain't leaning on no cliche
If you sharing my bed, babe
Then you share my name
'Cause you got me feeling so high
Oh baby, you are the rhythm of my life

I feel your heart beat, beat, beat
Beating right next to me
That keep, keep, keep
I be feeling like I believe
All the things, baby, that we could be
I feel your heart beat, beat, beat
Beating right next to me
Beating right next to me
Beating right next to me

當鋼琴創作才子及佳人在一起合作時會激蕩出什麼樣的火花呢?
於是這首述說著短暫夏日戀情的歌曲就這樣誕生了~

有時我在想~
什麼樣的情況下會讓人想維持這樣短暫的戀情~
因為短暫所以在一起的時間就格外甜蜜~
但真的相愛~
卻不能在一直在一起相伴~
那麼到了終點時~
這樣的愛與離別不就更令人錐心泣血~

Jon McLaughlin ft. Sara Bareilles - Summer Is Over

Autumn never seemed this cold before
here I am sleeping on the floor
we changed just like the leaves
outside my house
and my phone lay silent by the couch

I remember June
back when I met you
and your eyes were green
and we were, too

but summer is over
we were tangled in the morning sun
felt you getting colder
and we knew that we would come undone
it's back to my town, back to your life
gray skies are blowing a kiss goodbye to the lovers
summer is over

I can still see your silhouette
in the white hot sand
still feel my ring on your hand
the clock was always ticking down
behind that glass
singing "love, be good while you last"

but we both knew
what we were getting into
the things we said
sounded true

the distant innocence
we are leaving far behind
your last words will be burning in my mind
in the winter time

我們的日子是不是真的就這樣的一成不變？
當別人問起我們曾經做過或去過什麼值得一提的事或地方時～
我們回想自己的過往卻找不出真的值得講的事或地～
別擔心～
任何你覺得是瘋狂的事～
只要是不危害他人～
就去做吧～
永遠不嫌遲～
只怕你自己擋住了你去做的決心～

這首歌是電影"The Secret Life of Walter Mitty/白日夢冒險王"的主題曲～
由來自瑞典阿根廷裔的創作歌手Jose Gonzalez為電影所創作～
他除了以個人姿態發行了兩張個人專輯及多張EP之外～
同時也是瑞典樂團Junip的成員之一～
Jose也跟配樂家Theodore Shapiro合作本部電影的配樂～
讓電影更增添了一抹獨立人文色彩～

Jose Gonzalez - Stay Alive

There’s a rhythm in rush these days
Where the lights don’t move and the colors don’t fade
Leaves you empty with nothing but dreams
In a world gone shallow
In a world gone lean

Sometimes there’s things a man cannot know
Gears won’t turn and the leaves won’t grow
There’s no place to run and no gasoline
Engine won’t turn
And the train won’t leave

Engines won’t turn and the train won’t leave

I will stay with you tonight
Hold you close ‘til the morning light
In the morning watch a new day rise
We’ll do whatever just to stay alive
We’ll do whatever just to stay alive

Well the way I feel is the way I write
It isn’t like the thoughts of the man who lies
There is a truth and it’s on our side
Dawn is coming
Open your eyes
Look into the sun as the new days rise

And I will wait for you tonight
You’re here forever and you’re by my side
I’ve been waiting all my life
To feel your heart as it’s keeping time
We’ll do whatever just to stay alive

Dawn is coming
Open your eyes
Dawn is coming
Open your eyes
Dawn is coming
Open your eyes
Dawn is coming
Open your eyes

Look into the sun as the new days rise
There’s a rhythm in rush these days
Where the lights don’t move and the colors don’t fade
Leaves you empty with nothing but dreams
In a world gone shallow
In a world gone lean

But there is a truth and it’s on our side
Dawn is coming open your eyes
Look into the sun as a new days rise

是的沒錯~
我今年一定要落實一天一篇音樂文章的目標來活絡我的部落格及文筆~:)
今天的主角就是The Fray~

這首單曲是他們將在今年二月底發行的最新專輯"Helios"的第一首單曲~
相較以往的單曲以鋼琴開場~
這首單曲則是以吉他的重覆雙單音加上連三音帶出不同與以往的鄉村搖滾因子~
接下來強勁的重拍似乎預告著這張專輯或許不會走他們前幾張的抒情風格~
連他們的music video都走著硬漢風格~
酒吧~美女~硬漢~群架~:ppp
看來這次The Fray要讓歌迷看到不一樣的他們~
就讓我們拭目以待吧~

The Fray - Love don't die

If I know one thing, that's true
It ain't what you say, it's what you do
And you don't say much, yeah, that's true
But I listen when you do
A thousand years go by
But love don't die

If I know one thing, that's true
Instead I'm never leaving you
And you don't say much, yeah, that's true
But I lose it when you do
Don't let them tell no lie
Love don't die

No matter where we go
Or even if we don't
And even if they try
They'll never take my body from your side
Love don't die

If there is one thing, that's true
It's not what I say, it's what I do
And I say too much, yeah, that's true
So just listen to what I do
A thousand years go by
But love don't die

No matter where we go
Or even if we don't
And even if they try
They'll never take my body from your side
Love don't die

She can break it up
Shake your money down
You can box it in
Bury it in the ground
You can close it off and turn it away
Try to keep it down, six feet in the ground
But love don't die

No matter where we go
Or even if we don't
And even if they try
They'll never take my body from your side
Love don't die

No matter where we go
Or even if we don't
I’d like to watch them try
They'll never take my body from your side
Love don't die

看來我的BLOG好像一年才更新一次~LOL
這樣看起來好糟糕啊~
好像每一年都有同樣的希望但是不持久不行的啊!
馬上回到本文~

Five for fighting這個來自美國加州的一人樂團從出到至今已經發行了五張專輯~
去年九月發行了他睽違四年的最新第六張專輯"Bookmarks"~
"What if"是這張專輯的首支單曲~
我第一次聽完這首歌時馬上就是按下重播鍵繼續聽下去~
它的旋律就是這麼的令人意猶未盡~
而歌詞更是打中我的心~

如果
如果我是你的話......

而MV中的劇情更是溫馨催淚~
述說著一個小男孩跟機器人的友情及沒有人躲得過的生離死別~

Five for fighting - What If

What if I were you…

Threw a line out to pull you to me
If you don’t get it then you don’t get it
You made your mind up before you knew me
If you don’t get it then you don’t get it

Take my hand for a minute
We’re in it
Imagine all the pain that might be forgiven

What if I had your heart
What if you wore my scars
How would we break down
What if you were me
What if I were you

What if you told my lies
What if I cried with your eyes
Could anyone keep us down
What if you were me
What if I were you…

Had a dream of a new tomorrow
If you don’t get it then you don’t get it
I took a step hoping you might follow
If you don’t get it then you don’t get it

Take a chance for a minute
Jump in it
Imagine if you asked yourself for a minute

What if I had your heart
What if you wore my scars
How would we break down
What if you were me
What if I were you

What if you told my lies
What if I cried with your eyes
Could anyone keep us down
What if you were me
What if I were you…

Do the ones who make it better find
To get out, got to touch the other side
What if all that it took to save our lives
Together was to rise up…

What if I had your heart
What if you wore my scars
How would we break down
What if I were you

What if I told your lies
What if you cried with my eyes
Could anyone keep us down
What if you were me
What if I were you…

What if your hand was my hand
Could we hold on and let go
What if your life was my life
Can we love what we don’t know

What if your hand was my hand
Could we hold on and let go
What if your life was my life

And what if I were you…

Dido - No Freedom

I take it by your silence
That i'm free to walk out the door
By the look in your eyes i can tell
You don't think i'll be back for more
Try to think of a world
Where you could stay and these safe hands could
Take your heart above the water
Wherever i choose to go


NO LOVE WITHOUT FREEDOM
NO LOVE WITHOUT FREEDOM
NO LOVE WITHOUT FREEDOM
NO FREEDOM WITHOUT LOVE


Even when you don't see me
Even when you don't hear
I'll be flying low below the sun
And it fill it all out here


NO LOVE WITHOUT FREEDOM
NO LOVE WITHOUT FREEDOM
NO LOVE WITHOUT FREEDOM
NO FREEDOM WITHOUT LOVE

I'm standing here in silence
The world in front of me
Holding you in my hand
And seeing as you'd see

NO LOVE WITHOUT FREEDOM
NO LOVE WITHOUT FREEDOM
NO LOVE WITHOUT FREEDOM
NO FREEDOM WITHOUT LOVE

Mat Kearney (麥特卡爾尼)~
一位被主流大眾忽略的好歌手~不論是在美國或是台灣~
他對我來說才真的是療癒系的好聲音~
他本身是創作民謠歌手~但是在他的歌中你總是會發現在歌曲中都會有唸唱歌的部分~
這也成為他本身音樂中的特點之一~
他的歌詞中總是述說著不一樣的故事~
勵志~友情~愛情~親情等等不同的題材搭配上他暖暖的歌聲及繞樑不絕的旋律~
讓你不禁一次又一次的播放而越聽越愛上他那真誠的音樂~

這首Ships In The Night是去年新專輯的第二支單曲~
歌詞中寫下的盡是我們每個人都可能曾經歷過的點點滴滴~
你一定能在這首歌中找到與你自身共鳴的地方~
請細細的品嘗這首歌吧~:)

Mat Kearney - Ships In the Night

Like ships in the night
You keep passing me by
We're just wasting time
Trying to prove who's right
And if it all goes crashing into the sea
If it's just you and me
Trying to find the light

Like ships in the night letting cannon balls fly
Say what you mean and it turns to a fight
Fist fly from my mouth as it turns south
You're down the driveway... I'm on the couch

Chasing your dreams since the violent 5th grade
Trying to believe in your silent own way
Cause we'll be ok... I'm not going away
Like you watched at fourteen as it went down the drain

And pops stayed the same and your moms moved away
How many of our parents seem to make it anyway
We're just fumbling through the grey
Trying find a heart that's not walking away

Turn the lights down low
Walk these halls alone
We can feel so far from so close

Like ships in the night
You keep passing me by
We're just wasting time
Trying to prove who's right
And if it all goes crashing into the sea
If it's just you and me trying to find the light
Like ships in the night
You're passing me by
You're passing me by
Like ships in the night

And I'm at the airport waiting on a second plane
Had to pack and you had cramps and I was late
Headed to a red carpet they won't know my name
Riding in silence all that we wanna say

About to board when you call on the phone
You say "I'm sorry. I'll be waiting at home"
Feels like we're learning this out on our own
Trying to find a way down the road we don't know

Turn the lights down low
Walk these halls alone
We can feel so far from so close

Like ships in the night
You keep passing me by
We're just wasting time
Trying to prove who's right
And if it all goes crashing into the sea
If it's just you and me
Trying to find the light
Like ships in the night
You're passing me by
You're passing me by
Like ships in the night

And I'm gonna find my way
Back to your side
And I'm gonna find my way
Back to your side

Like ships in the night
You keep passing me by
We're just wasting time
Trying to prove who's right
And if it all goes crashing into the sea
If it's just you and me
Trying to find the light
Like ships in the night
You're passing me by
You're passing me by
Like ships in the night

內有大量Muisc Video喔~:D

今天原本是要更新Blog裡的音樂~
結果在搜尋音樂的時候又掉進Trance的世界了~
成果就是下面你們看到的播放器中的30多支MV~
