每隔一段時間在你的無意之間就會發現一首讓你聽得欲罷不能的歌～

​
去年年初的時候Deep House(深浩室)及Tropical House(熱帶浩室)開始席捲整個歐洲~
而來自挪威的Tropical House DJ製作人Kygo的首支單曲"Firestone"就是帶起整個風潮的主要歌曲～
記得我一聽到"Firestone"的時候～前面低沉的鋼琴旋律就已經抓住了我的注意力～而當那一聲清脆的鈴聲一出現～不誇張～就像中了咒語般馬上直入我心～
後來就是不斷的重複聽卻又聽不膩～因為這首歌的編曲及音效在高音跟低音都有很好的表現～所以我還把它拿來當測試喇叭音色的必備歌曲～
當Tropical House開始風行之後就有越來越多人注意到其他的Tropical House DJ~
而我今天要介紹的就是同樣來自挪威的Tropical House DJ製作人Matoma(原名Tom Stræte Lagergren)～
這首單曲是他在2015年底與同樣來自挪威的女歌手Astrid S合作的歌曲～
原本這首歌是他們倆見面的時候Astrid用吉他演奏了這首歌的Demo～
Maroma聽完後對Astrid展現出的聲線及情感印象深刻而且對這首曲子非常有興趣～
於是一拍即合決定一起合作完成這首曲子～
Matoma希望他的音樂能夠跟著季節的情緒走～
而當白天越來越短而天氣越來越冷的現在～
這就是他希望這首歌帶給人的感覺～
對我來說～
聽到這首歌的時候就有點像我當時聽到"Firestone"的感覺～
那種先抓住你的注意力然後一舉中的的感覺～
而中段的編曲帶著一點東方的氣息～
讓這首歌有著不同與一般Tropical House的特色～

這是Avril和五分錢樂團主唱Chad結婚後的第一張專輯~
當然同是音樂人的Chad也在一起在專輯中合作製作了不少歌曲~
這首歌也算是兩人在各自的音樂事業中第一次有男女對唱的單曲~
在台灣的專輯中還收錄了她翻唱五分錢的成名單曲"How you remind me"~

Avril Lavigne - Let Me Go ft. Chad Kroeger

[Avril Lavigne]
Love that once hung on the wall
Used to mean something, but now it means nothing
The echoes are gone in the hall
But I still remember, the pain of December

Oh, there isn't one thing left you could say
I'm sorry it's too late

[Chorus]
I'm breaking free from these memories
Gotta let it go, just let it go
I've said goodbye
Set it all on fire
Gotta let it go, just let it go

[Chad Kroeger]
You came back to find I was gone
And that place is empty, like the hole that was left in me
Like we were nothing at all
It's not what you meant to me
Thought we were meant to be

Oh, there isn't one thing left you could say
I'm sorry it's too late

[Chorus]
I'm breaking free from these memories
Gotta let it go, just let it go
I've said goodbye
Set it all on fire
Gotta let it go, just let it go

I let it go (and now I know)
A brand new life (is down this road)
And when it's right (you always know)
So this time (I won't let go)

There's only one thing left here to say
Love's never too late

[Chorus]
I've broken free from those memories
I've let it go, I've let it go
And two goodbyes, led to this new life
Don't let me go, don't let me go

Don't let me go, don't let me go, don't let me go, don't let me go

Won't let you go, don't let me go
Won't let you go, don't let me go
Won't let you go, don't let me go
Won't let you go, don't let me go

繼他們很受好評的首張專輯"Torches"之後～
洛杉磯樂團Foster the people即將要在今年3月14日發行他們的最新專輯"Supermodel"~
相較於第一張專輯將電氣音符與流行樂結合後～
從他們新專輯的首支單曲"Coming of age"中可以聽出他們這次的風格變得比較有機沒有那麼多的電子聲響～
而這MV中則是將他們專輯封面直接畫在約8層樓高的公寓大樓的側面牆上～
再用縮時攝影的方式將全程濃縮在4分42秒的MV中～

Foster the people - Coming of age

Well, I see you standing there like a rabid dog
And you got those crying eyes
Makes me wanna surrender and wrap you in my arms
You know I try to live without regrets
I'm always moving forward and not looking back
But I tend to leave a trail of debt while I'm moving ahead
And so I'm stepping away

(Ahhhh...)

'Cause I got nothing to say

Feels like, feels like it's coming
It feels like, feels like I'm coming of age
Feels like, feels like it's coming
It feels like, feels like I'm coming of age

And when my fear pulls me out to sea
And the stars are hidden by my pride and my enemies
I seem to hurt the people that care the most
Just like an animal I protect my pride
When I'm too bruised to fight
And even when I'm wrong I tend to think I'm right

Well I'm bored at game
And too tired to rage

Feels like, feels like it's coming
It feels like, feels like I'm of coming of age
Feels like, feels like it's coming
It feels like, feels like I'm of coming of age

Feels like, feels like it's coming
It feels like, feels like I'm of coming of age
Feels like, feels like it's coming
It feels like, feels like I'm of coming of age

[Piano]

Feels like, feels like I'm of coming of age
Feels like, feels like it's coming
It feels like, feels like I'm of coming of age
Feels like, feels like it's coming
It feels like, feels like I'm of coming of age
Feels like, feels like it's coming
It feels like, feels like I'm of coming of age

ATB!!!ATB!!!ATB!!!!!
今年的第一篇的電音文一定是要給我最愛的電音DJ ATB啊!!!
從去年年末ATB在自己的Facebook上開始透露自己在準備新專輯的時候我就已經興奮的要死~
一個星期前ATB在Youtube放上他新專輯"Contact" 2CD共26首歌曲的10'27"的迷你混音及全曲目~
而今天放上了與德國樂團Stanfour合作的首支單曲"Face to face"~
我已經在虐待Youtube上的重播鍵了~
我要專輯原始版或是加長版啦~
MV的電台版太短了不過癮啦~
新專輯將在1月24日發行~
總共會發行2CD普通版～3CD限量版及豪華版～
我好想要豪華版啊～
不知道台灣到時候會不會進就是了～

Dierks Bentley可以說是我最喜歡的鄉村男歌手之一～
他的聲音總是透露了一股真誠不做作的感覺～
初次聽到他的歌時候是他首張專輯的第一支單曲"What was I thinkin"這首歌也同時為他拿下了他的第一支鄉村榜冠軍～
整首歌很生動的描述了男生為了喜歡的女生捲進了一連串瘋狂事件的故事～
從出道到現在他共出了7張專輯發行了19支單曲而其中有10首鄉村榜冠軍～
他將在今年2月底發行他的第8張專輯"Riser"~
在剛開始製作這張專輯的時候他經歷了父親過世的低潮～
而在專輯幾近完成的時候他的兒子出世～
因為如此他在這張專輯中放入了更多的自身經歷～
這首來自新專輯的單曲"I hold on"就是個最好的例子～
他把自己從一個小鎮沒沒無名的男孩到追逐自己的夢想而成名～
卻沒有因成名而失去自我～
一切都是因為他緊抓著自己的信念及對家人的親情～
這些內容你都能夠在這支自傳式的Music Video中看到～

Dierks Bentley - I hold on

Its just an old beat up truck
Some say that I should trade up
Now that I got some jangle in my pocket
But what they don't understand
Is it's the miles that make a man
I wouldn't trade that thing in for a rocket
What they don't know is my dad and me
We drove her out to Tennessee
And she's still here and now he's gone
So I hold on

Its just an old beat up box
It's rusty strings across the top
It probly don't look like much to you
But these dents and scratches in the wood
Yea that's what makes it sound so good
To me its better than brand new
You see this here flat top guitar's
Had my back in a million bars
Singing every country song
So I hold on

To the things, I believe in
My faith, your love, our freedom
To the things I can count on
To keep me going strong
Yeah I hold on, I hold on

Like the stripes to the flag
Like a boy to his dad
I can't change who I am, right or wrong
So I hold on

Baby lookin' at you right now
There ain't never been no doubt
Without you I'd be nothing
So if you ever worry about, me walkin' out
Yeah let me tell you something
I hold on, I hold on
Can you hear me baby, I hold on
Yeah, I hold on

To the things, I believe in
My faith, your love, our freedom
To the things I can count on
To keep me going strong

To the things, I believe in
My faith, your love, our freedom
To the things I can count on
To keep me going strong
Yeah I hold on, I hold on
I hold on
I hold on and on and on and on and on
I hold on and on and on and on and on

Switchfoot - Love Alone Is Worth The Fight

I'm trying to find where my place is
I'm looking for my own oasis
So close I can taste this
The fear that love alone erases

So I'm back to the basics
I figure it's time I face this
Time to take my own advice

Love alone is worth the fight
Love alone is worth the fight

And I never thought it'd come to this
But it seems like I'm finally feeling numb to this
The funny thing about a name is
You forget what the reason you were playing the game is

And it's all an illusion
A 21st century institution
So I'm headed down the open road unknown

And we find what we're made of
Through the open door
Is it fear you're afraid of?
What are you waiting for?

Love alone is worth the fight
Love alone is worth the fight

We're only here for a season
I'm looking for the rhyme and reason
Why you're born, why you're leaving
What you fear and what you believe in

Why you're living and breathing
Why you're fighting it and getting it even
Let's go headed down the open road unknown

And we find what we're made of
Through the open door
Is it fear you're afraid of?
What are you waiting for?

Love alone is worth the fight
Love alone is worth the fight

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh! Oh!

Here we are, here we go
Where the road is our own
Hear it calling you home
Here we are, here we go!

Love alone is worth the fight
Love alone is worth the fight
Love alone is worth the fight
Love alone is worth the fight
Love alone is worth the fight

Nik & Jay feat. Lisa Rowe - United

We we don’t don’t don’t lie
We we go go sky high
Deep deep into the night

I always thought that my life
Was like a movie scene
In this fantasy world
Is where I see my dreams

I have always felt that I like the Northern lives
Belongs to the sky
No regrets
No more bullshit
And no rewind

Today we feel inspired
Let me set your heart on fire
Tonight we start a riot
It only takes some people to party
But everybody is invited
Tonight we start a riot

Why don’t you lift my body
Lift my body
Move my body
Love my body
Lift my body
Take me off the ground

Let’s get united

Lift your body
Lift your body
Move your body
love somebody
lift your body
take you higher now

let’s get united

it’s going down again
good gracious
it's all good
we‘ve doing his for ages
the door is open
my grips ‘s so spacious
I’m gonna lift your body up
Like is weightless
Look, go call all your friends
It’s in the air tonight
Like Phil Collins sings
Such a really god wipes
I put you through stuff
If you’re feeling alright
And I know you like it
Make you walk the plank
Like a pirate
Just go all out
You can’t fight it
We so fly
No wings
No pilot

Today we feel inspired
Let me set your heart on fire
Tonight we start a riot
It only takes some people to party
But everybody is invited
Tonight we start a riot

Why don’t you lift my body
Lift my body
Move my body
Love my body
Lift my body
Take me off the ground

Let’s get united

Lift your body
Lift your body
Move your body
love somebody
lift your body

Thousand hands up in the air
Love is envying my fear
Hear, we ain’t going nowhere

Thousand people love in here
Feel so freaking good, I swear
we ain’t going nowhere

nananna

Why don’t you lift my body
Lift my body
Move my body
Love my body
Lift my body
Take me off the ground

認識我的人都知道我是OneRepublic的大粉絲～
從他們Apologized這首歌還沒有在美國大紅時我就一直repeat～
也在我自己的電台中強力的放送～
在台灣還沒有首張專輯的消息時我就幫我跟我電台的聽眾們一起團購了第一張專輯～
現在想來真是很有趣的回憶～

這首是他們去年發行的新專輯"Native"中的第四支單曲～
述說著相愛的雙方至死不渝的信念~
MV中也以詼諧的手法將歌曲中想表達的意念化為畫面~

OneRepublic - Something I Need

I had a dream the other night
About how we only get one life
Woke me up right after two
Stayed awake and stared at you
So I wouldn't lose my mind

And I had the week that came from hell
And yes I know that you can tell
But you're like the net under the ledge
But I go flying off the edge
You go flying off as well

And if you only die once I wanna die with you
You got something I need
In this world full of people there's one killing me
And if we only die once I wanna die with you (you, you, you)
You got something I need
In this world full of people there's one killing me
And if we only die once I wanna die with you (you, you, you)

Last night I think I drank too much
Call it our temporary crutch
With broken words I tried to say
Honey don't you be afraid
If we got nothing we got us (Yeah)

And if you only die once I wanna die with
You got something I need
In this world full of people there's one killing me
And if we only die once I wanna die with you (you, you, you)
You got something I need
In this world full of people there's one killing me
And if we only die once I wanna die with you (you, you, you)

I know that we're not the same
But I'm so damn glad that we made it
To this time, this time, now

You got something I need
Yeah in this world full of people there's one killing me
And if we only die once I wanna die with you (Yeah)
You got something I need
In this world full of people there's one killing me
And if we only die once I wanna die with you (you, you, you)
You got something I need
In this world full of people there's one killing me
And if we only die once I wanna die with you (you, you, you)

If we only die once I wanna die with
If we only live once I wanna live with you

BLUE終於正式復出了~
2005年Blue宣佈單飛不解散~
雖然之後每位成員發過個人專輯~當然對於FANS們來說~最想看到的還是他們重新以原本團體的姿態再度出發~
2009年Blue正式宣佈復出~但跟之前復出的團體不同~他們雖然有提到錄製新專輯~但是總是一直見聲不見影~
其中雖然有新歌流出但也就不了了之~
到了2011年他們以單曲I Can代表英國參加EUROVISION~也終於開始巡迴為新專輯暖身~還到了台北開演唱會~我沒有去到真的是很扼腕啊!!!
新專輯"Roulette"的首支單曲"Hurt Lovers"在德國被將在今年上映的電影"Schlussmacher"選為主題曲~
因此這首歌在德國版的正式MV中就是與電影中的兩位主角合作並穿插電影畫面~
當然他們也要照顧自己本國的歌迷~
所以也拍了另一支只有BLUE團員的正式MV~


德國版


英國版

Blue - Hurt Lovers

Duncan:
When the words that you wanted to say
Are all coming out wrong,
When you burst into tears,
Though you're trying so hard to be strong,
Ohhh
We're standing in,
Allowed to fight,
Trying to make two wrongs right,

LEE:
Hurt Lovers, Hurt, Hurt Lovers oh,
Don't give up, Don't, Don't give up no,
Think of it
You can't just let it go,
You gotta try,
You gotta try,

ANTONY:
So when all that you ever believe
Comes apart at the seams,
And when all of the bridges you build
Are washed away in a stream,

SIMON:
Ooooh,
Whatever comes,
It's not the end,
We gotta fight,
And take a stand

CHORUS
Hurt Lovers, Hurt, Hurt Lovers oh,
Don't give up, Don't, Don't give up no,
Think of it
You can't just let it go,
You gotta try,
You gotta try,

Hurt Lovers, hurt so bad again
Find something, to make things right again
It don't matter who wins out in the end
You gotta try,
You gotta try,
Even when you lose hurts,
And you made your last words?,
You know,
You know, you know

We're standing in,
Allowed to fight,
Trying to make two wrongs right,

Hurt Lovers, Hurt, Hurt Lovers oh,
Don't give up, Don't, Don't give up no,
Think of it
You can't just let it go,
You gotta try,
You gotta try,
Hurt Lovers, hurt so bad again
Find something, to make things right again
It don't matter who wins out in the end

You gotta try,
You gotta try,
