Lyrics 6 of the song

Amazing

You're like a storm against the window
Follow me around just like a shadow
I'll swim a never ending ocean
Until you bring back your devotion

It's like I live a thousand lifetimes
Still looking for the one that feels right
See, moving on just isn't working
You lit the fire that I burn in

And all I've been doing is protecting
A lie for the sake of my pride
While all the others set me thinking
We could be more than just amazing

I guess I'm holding on to my faith
A solid hope I'm heading your way
And crawling over is so tempting
We could be more than just amazing

And all I've been doing is protecting
A lie for the sake of my pride
While all the others set me thinking
We could be more than just amazing
I couldn't see it
I must have believed a lie
If I admit it would you let me make it right
Is it all gone
Oh no
Say it all

we could be more than just
we could be more than just amazing

And all I've been doing is protecting
A lie for the sake of my pride
While all the others set me thinking
We could be more than just amazing

And all I've been doing is protecting
A lie for the sake of my pride
While all the others set me thinking
Straight to the point of what I'm feeling
Oh we could be more than just amazing

歌手介绍

放眼现今的乐坛,西城男孩可以说是最受欢迎的男孩和声团体之一了。他们所取得的成就,也是令人刮目相看。西城男孩是英国流行音乐史上唯一三次赢得年度专辑殊荣的音乐团体。他们在全球的专辑销量超过了三千四百万张,单单是在英国,便已经荣获五张超白金唱片。他们也在英国创造了12首冠军单曲的音乐历史纪录,并且共获得两座全英音乐奖、一座MTV欧洲音乐大奖、以及六项爱尔兰音乐大奖(连续四年荣获最佳流行艺人大奖)!西城男孩同时也因为一首现场版的“为爱而飞(Flying Without Wings)”,获得首个网络下载榜的冠军头衔。除了专辑,西城男孩的巡演成绩也同样出色:出道至今,西城男孩共举办了四次巡回演出,而每一次的演唱会门票都是销售一空,全球累计达三百万歌迷观看了他们的Live演唱,这也使他们成为史上最畅销的巡演团体。

  如今,西城男孩带着他们全新的音乐创作《Face To Face(真情相对)》回来了!《Face To Face》是一张西城男孩傲视群雄的超级大作,充分地展现西城男孩的男儿本色、及其坚强的歌唱实力。这张全新专辑一经发行便迅速空降英国榜专辑冠军(这也是他们出道以来第五张空降冠军的专辑)。其中专辑第一主打单曲“You Raise Me Up”,更是连续数周占据单曲榜冠军位置(他们的第13首英国榜冠军单曲)。这也让这组来自爱尔兰的男孩神话再次创造英国榜专辑、单曲一周同获冠军的纪录;再造男孩团体巅峰!通过这张专辑,乐迷们又能欣赏到谢恩(Shane)、马克 (Mark)、尼基 (Nicky)以及基恩 (Kian) 做出的最精湛的音乐呈现,这张专辑也再度展现了他们过人的音乐实力。

  经历了低迷期的西城男孩携《Face To Face》闪亮回归的抢眼表现让渐渐淡忘他们的媒体眼前一亮。男孩们还是把今天的荣誉归给所有多年来支持他们的歌迷。“所有人都说西城男孩玩完了,可是只要歌迷陪我们身边一天,我们还是会存在。”西城的基恩(Kian)在谈到这次复出时有感而发。但想不到危机就是转机,四个人决定要继续新的音乐尝试,制作出他们迄今最满意的唱片,而且他们的感情就和兄弟没有两样。他们也透露要谢谢U2乐队的主唱Bono,不知道为什么Bono总是一直支持他们,“他真的是世界上最酷的家伙了,自己都那么忙还这样关心我们。”

谁说西城男孩的流行王朝已经没有丝毫复辟的可能?看看他们最近的表现:不仅单曲“You Raise Me Up”为他们拿下第13个全英单曲冠军,同时本张专辑《Face To Face》也同步登上全英专辑榜冠军;这不但让西城男孩第五度空降全英专辑榜冠军王座,同时也让他们首度尝到单曲、专辑同步称雄的荣耀。在这之前,已经出道七年的西城男孩也像许多在歌坛发展多年的团体一样面临了瓶颈期,除了全球性的男孩团体风潮出现减褪之势之外,前成员布莱恩的单飞也或多或少地冲击了他们的士气。但面对困难,其它四位团员还是坚持了下来,以一贯的态度来将最好的音乐献给歌迷;而歌迷们也以一贯的热情回应来支持西城男孩;正是这样的良性循环使得西城男孩可以不负他们师父罗南(Ronan Keating)的期望,继续以温暖舒服的歌声抚慰更多听众的心。

冠军专辑呈现的不仅只是大家所熟悉的西城男孩,同时也展露出更成熟多元的西城男孩。专辑里的曲风涵盖了流行、灵魂、疯克、都会等等多种元素,但又保留了西城男孩原本最为人所乐道的完美和声。虽然少了一位成员,但这张专辑的气度却显得要比以往更加宽广。团员们在各自休息了一段时间后,把积累的更多生活体验也带入了他们的歌声中,而Westlife的老搭档Steve Mac以及瑞典的热门歌曲制造小组The Location也为本张专辑的制作与创作工作注入更多活力。

录制于爱尔兰、瑞典以及伦敦等地的这张专辑是西城男孩这一年来的心血结晶,从首支冠军曲“You Raised Me Up”里以风笛和优美合唱所表现出的赞美诗般磅礡励志气息,到与长青歌后黛安娜罗丝(Diana Ross)合唱的原本由黛安娜本人独唱后来又由Dolly PartonJulio Iglesias翻唱过的抒情名曲“When You Tell Me That You Love Me”,再到轻快的流畅小品“Amazing”、洋溢复古的疯克风、让人联想到迈克杰克逊经典作品“Billie Jean”的“Shes Back”、男孩们重新演绎老鹰乐队(The Eagles)的1973年名曲“Desperado”、旋律让人一听就上瘾的高难度作品“Colour My World”、重现招牌西城男孩风的抒情曲“In This Life”、彰显热力阳刚气势且带有些许异国味道的作品“Hit You With the Real Thing”,再到轻松俏皮的结尾曲“Change Your Mind”,西城男孩借由这张专辑大声地向世人宣告他们的音乐王朝不但没有结束,而且还会随着时间的流逝而继续兴盛下去。
