Julia Michaels - Apple 禁果

今天要分享的是一首情慾滿滿的歌

雖然歌詞也不算多火辣

但是播放時保證會冒出許多粉紅泡泡

不得不說Julia確確實實是實力派的創作者啊~

私心很愛那類似豎琴的背景音樂
再加上電子音樂有種融合古典和現代的感覺

Oh, I'd rather be kissing in Summer, so innocent

多想念夏天的吻，再純真不過了

In your apartment on the weekends

週末在你的公寓廝混

Lift up my dress to see where you've been

撩起裙襬，追隨你的蹤跡

That's what I want and that's where I am

在我身邊的你，就是我的心之渴望

Bite off an apple right from your fridge

從你的冰箱裡拿出一顆蘋果啃

Come here and taste it right off my lips

來吧，從我的唇嚐嚐它的滋味

Spill your emotions into my hands

將你的情感通通交給我

That's what I want

那就是我渴望的一切

I smell like a rose, can I have you in doses?

我玫瑰般的氣息，可否分次品嚐你？

No, I don't wanna fight, but I will if you like

我一點也不想爭吵，但你要的話我奉陪

I don't swim, I just dive right into those blue-green eyes

我不游泳，倒直直潛入你湖水綠的雙眸

No, I don't wanna fight, I just, I just wanna be

不想吵架，我只是想要

Kissing in Summer, so innocent

夏日裡的熱吻，多單純

In your apartment on the weekends

週末在你的公寓廝混

Lift up my dress to see where you've been

拉起裙襬，看著你的去向

That's what I want and that's where I am

在你身邊就是我所渴望的一切

Bite off an apple right from your fridge

從你冰箱裡拿出蘋果嗑

Come here and taste it right off my lips

來我的唇上細細品嚐

Spill your emotions into my hands

將你的情感全託付於我

That's what I want

就是我最深的渴望

And da da da da da da

The sun in our eyes, this love is blind

我們眼裡的光芒，這愛多盲目

Let's not decide whether we're too far gone

先別急著斷定我們是不是走太遠了

'Cause I'd rather be

因為我寧可

Kissing in Summer, so innocent

在夏日裡單純地吻著你

In your apartment on the weekends

週末待在你住處

Lift up my dress to see where you've been

撩起裙襬，尋找你的去向

That's what I want and that's where I am

只想如現在一直待在你身邊

Bite off an apple right from your fridge

從你冰箱裡拿出顆蘋果啃

Come here and taste it right off my lips

來我唇上品嚐它的滋味

Spill your emotions into my hands

七情六慾全託付於我

That's what I want (That's what I want)

就是我最深的渴望

Oh oh, oh, oh da-da-dumn

That's what I

那就是

Dum da-da-dum, oh

That's what I

那就是

一開始看到這首歌名的時候覺得很瞎，看完歌詞依然不懂為何會選這個字當作歌名，反覆播放和思考之後突然靈光一閃，該不會蘋果不只是顆蘋果吧？忽然想起之前在文學課上老師所說的，雖然聖經裡頭伊甸園的故事從來沒有說過禁果長什麼樣，但人人聯想到果子通常在腦海裡浮現的就是蘋果的形象，而這又是一首相當性感的歌，所以或許蘋果真的不只是一顆蘋果。

Julia Michaels - Anxiety ft. Selena Gomez 焦慮

自從推出＜Issues癮＞以來，Julia根本火力全開，每幾個月就釋出一支單曲，目前還沒有一首讓我失望過，超級喜歡她獨特的曲風和細膩刻劃人性的歌詞。

今天(1/25)又發行了第二張迷你專輯《Inner Monologue Part 1內在獨角戲》，和Selena合作的這首歌＜Anxiety焦慮＞作為整張專輯的序曲我想是再適合不過，因為兩人皆長期飽受焦慮症所苦，而裡頭的歌詞的確就是焦慮症發作時的感覺，好像全世界都不會懂，腦袋被各種千奇百怪想法轟炸，卻怎麼也停不了......

希望這首歌能讓更多人明白你並不是唯一被焦慮困擾的人，我們都不完美，有自己的難關要過，但是別太相信腦中那些負面的聲音，我們並沒有那麼糟。

Lady Gaga - Shallow ft. Bradley Cooper 低迷

第一次看完《一個巨星的誕生》的電影預告就深深被這首歌吸引，配樂簡單，歌詞直白地唱出兩位角色的心境，再加上完美的合音，強大而震撼人心的一首歌。

Alec Benjamin - Boy In The Bubble 泡泡裡的男孩

如果要用三個詞形容這首歌，我會說暴力、震撼又悲傷。

這是一首關於霸凌的歌曲，有正義感的人可能會有「霸凌者就是該死」、「只會欺負別人的人根本禽獸」諸如此類的想法，但是讓我們再仔細思考一下，他們又為什麼要霸凌別人呢？是因為這樣才能證明自己的厲害？這樣才不會反過來被人欺負？或者其實是他們心中有更深一層的不滿，才拿其他人當出氣包？

隨著年紀增長，故事聽得越多，就會發現有時人們的錯誤實在愚笨至極，不喜歡被傷害，卻又去傷害別人，這樣的惡性循環沒有終止，同樣的悲劇就會一而再再而三地發生。
