Meredith Brooks - Bitch 婊


今天要跟大家推薦的是復古搖滾樂,自從在Taylor Swift摯友Abigail的動態聽到這首歌後就無法停止循環播放~突然發現久久聽一下搖滾樂蠻紓壓的XD


I hate the world today
今日超厭世
You're so good to me
你對我多好
I know but I can't change

Tried to tell you

But you look at me like maybe

Innocent and sweet
天真無邪又貼心

Yesterday I cried

Must have been relieved to see
看見那一幕的你
The softer side
肯定鬆了一口氣
I can understand how you'd be so confused
我明白你會非常困惑
I don't envy you

All rolled into one
通通集聚一身

I'm a bitch, I'm a lover

Just when you think
正當你以為
you got me figured out
終於弄懂我了
The season's already changing
又過了一季
I think it's cool

You do what you do
你自顧自的
And don't try to save me

I'm a bitch, I'm a tease
又婊又愛耍嘴皮子
I'm a goddess on my knees
跪下來即是女神
When you hurt, when you suffer
當你受傷、受苦
I'm your angel undercover
就是你的守護天使
I've been numb, I'm revived
曾經麻木不仁的我再度甦醒
Can't say I'm not alive
不再行屍走肉
You know I wouldn't want it any other way

James Bay - Us 我們

迷濛黑暗中
剩下你是生命中唯一的美好
猶如信仰
讓我有勇氣繼續往前走


Sometimes I'm beaten
有時我被打敗
Sometimes I'm broke
有時我阮囊羞澀
Cause sometimes this city is nothing but smoke
有時這城市除了雲煙什麼都沒有了
Is there a secret?
有什麼秘密嗎
Is there a code?
有什麼方法嗎
Can we make it better?
能不能改善什麼
Cause I'm losing hope
我漸漸不抱希望了

Tell me how to be in this world
告訴我要怎麼在這世上生存
Tell me how to breathe in and feel no hurt
告訴我要怎麼呼吸而不感覺到痛苦
Tell me how cause I believe in something
請回答我,因為我還相信
I believe in us
我還相信我們

After the wreckage
支離破碎
After the dust
塵土飛揚
I still hear the howling, I still feel the rush
仍聽見嘶吼,仍有股衝動
Over the riots, above all the noise
混亂之際,塵囂之外
Through all the worry, I still hear your voice
儘管所有的擔心,依然聽見了你的聲音

So, tell me how to be in this world
請告訴我如何在這世上生存
Tell me how to breathe in and feel no hurt
告訴我如何喘息而不覺得痛苦
Tell me how cause I believe in something
請回答我,因為我還有所相信
I believe in us

Tell me when the light goes out
當光芒退去時請告訴我
That even in the dark we will find a way out
黑暗之中我們也能找到出路
Tell me now cause I believe in something

I believe in us
我相信我們

Used to be kids living just for kicks
我們從小青梅竹馬
In cinema seats, learning how to kiss
在電影院裡學著親吻
Running through streets that were painted gold
在金色的街道上追逐
We never believed we'd grow up like this
不敢相信我們一起長大了

So tell me how to be in this world
所以告訴我如何在這世上活下去
Tell me how to breathe in and feel no hurt
告訴我怎麼呼吸才不會感覺到痛
Tell me how cause I believe in something
請回答我,因為我還有所信仰

Tell me when the light goes out

Tell me now cause I believe in something
請告訴我,因為我還相信
I believe in us
我還相信著我們
I believe in something
我還有所信仰
And I believe in us
深信著我們


差點不認得剪短髮的James Bay,不過他充滿磁性的歌聲倒是辨識度極高,第一次在聽到這首歌是電影《禁忌世代:邂逅》男女主角共舞的片段,歌詞甚至恰巧呼應到男主角的心聲,有夠浪漫!

PS.一定要點影片下方的連結,他和Alicia Keys合唱的版本好聽到耳朵懷孕!

有如電影或小說,歌曲從標題就投下震撼彈,一路越走越歪,直到接近尾聲才揭開真相,回頭再聽依然很有意思…主角來到門前時,她卻不認得,究竟是本來就很陌生,或是因為他早已變了個人,才使得她認不出來。過門最後還不忘來個回馬槍,為了愛情犧牲到這個地步到底值不值得?我想,答案是再明顯不過了。
