Bad Day ~ Daniel Powter

彈著自由的旋律 以琴聲流浪的歌手
一位克服閱讀障礙與怯場心結的歌手
揮別生命中的壞天氣 大聲唱歌
帶領全世界找回陽光----(轉貼自博客來音樂館)

Where is the moment we need at the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue skies fade to grey
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carryin' on

You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You're faking a smile with the coffee to go
You tell me your life's been way off line
You're falling to pieces everytime
And I don't need no carryin' on

Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day



Well you need a blue sky holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carryin' on


You had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day (Oh.. Holiday..)


Sometimes the system goes on the blink
And the whole thing turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know
That you could be well oh that strong
And I'm not wrong (yeah...)

So where is the passion when you need it the most
Oh you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost

Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You've seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day




最近才認真的聽歌詞，赫然發現她其實是ㄧ首安慰人的歌！
本來看題目以為是屬於自怨自艾的一般流行樂，只是旋律簡單，聲音迷人吧～
好吧，人也是會有錯聽的時候，過了那麼久還沒被我忘記表示～～她真的很夠聽喔～
瞬間成為我的iTunes 播放前五名的清單！！

James Blunt ~ Back to bedlam

這支音樂錄影帶在英國引起高度討論，有人認為他跳下懸崖的原因，是因為無法擁有心儀的女生，但也有人認為這是他對戰爭的無言抗議，暗指他在任職軍官時，被派至科索沃目睹當地血腥內戰的傷痛回憶。歌詞中“美麗的妳”指的就是科索沃，在經過內戰摧殘後，再也不見這塊美麗的土地；“我知我不可能再擁有你”暗指科索沃這塊分裂的土地再也難回到之前的美麗。

YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL

My life is brilliant.
My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.I saw an angel.Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.But I won't lose no sleep on that,
'Cause I've got a plan.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful. You're beautiful,
it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
Cause I'll never be with you.
Yeah, she caught my eye,As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
Fucking high,
And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.You're beautiful, it's true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it's time to face the truth,
I will never be with you.

這張專輯已經出來好一陣子了，不過再一次的偶然聽見，還是會有一點淡淡的悲傷失落…
對"上尉詩人"的稱號特別有感觸，可能有來自自身的印象投射吧.
