今年才23岁的Katie Melua慵懒地唱着"there are nine million bicycles in Beijing"......................
Katie以拥有900万辆自行车的北京为切入点,讲述着一个钟爱一生的故事,歌曲中似乎也弥漫着一些东方情调。


自称在音乐方面受到皇后合唱团(Queen)、琼妮·米歇尔(Joni Mitchell)、鲍勃·迪伦(Bob Dylan)、埃拉·菲茨杰拉德(Ella Fitzgerald)和印度音乐以及爱尔兰民谣等多类乐风的影响,Katie Melua声线兼备蓝调、民谣、爵士味道,常被乐评拿來与Norah Jones相提并论。她那相较甜美清澈的年轻嗓音,让人遥想起已逝的跨界流行爵士美声Eva Cassidy。

From the album 'Pictures'


A mask is easily placed,
On a betrayed and broken face.
A disguise to hide the past,
When you mapped out my skin
and made the memories last.
Some things are never erased,
And I have run when I’ve been chased,
By recollections of you and me
falling off our homemade castle.


And even when I’m walking straight
I always end up in a perfect circle.
Oh I try but I just can’t wait,
To break out of this perfect circle.
‘Cos giving into old temptation,
Is like that common twitch 4.
Oh the silly stupid realisation,
The more you scratch the more you itch 1.


Why am I fighting, what’s it for,
Must let my mask drop to the floor.
My scars I shouldn’t hide
from the people who are on my side,
Rolling up my sleeves to fight against,
All the things I locked up
and all the things I fenced.
But it’s time to let it out
so we can build a brand new castle.


And even when I’m walking straight
I always end up in a perfect circle.
Oh I try but I just can’t wait,
To break out of this perfect circle.
‘Cos giving into old temptation,
Is like that common twitch.
Oh the silly stupid realisation,
The more you scratch the more you itch.


And even when I’m walking straight
I always end up in a perfect circle.
Oh I try but I just can’t wait,
To break out of this perfect circle.
‘Cos giving into old temptation,
Is like that common twitch.
Oh the silly stupid realisation,
The more you scratch the more you itch.
