音乐咖啡厅:Littlest Things那些小事
听一个沉浸在曾经美好爱恋回忆中的小女生嗲嗲地叙述一点一滴温情的片段,那一件件琐碎但深刻的小事仿佛电影一幕幕重现,轻快的旋律中夹杂着错落的钢琴声,仿佛是这个古灵精怪的女子的淡淡哀伤,听了这样的独白,估计铁汉也只能化百炼钢为绕指柔了吧。
Littlest Things by Lily Allen
Sometimes I find myself sitting' back and reminiscing
Especially when I have to watch other people kissing'
And I remember when you started calling' me your miss's
All the play fighting', all the flirtatious 1 disses
I'd tell you sad stories about my childhood
I don’t know why I trusted you but I knew that I could
We'd spend the whole weekend lying in our own dirt
I was just so happy in your boxers 2 and your t-shirt
Dreams, Dreams
Of when we had just started things
Dreams of you and me
It seems, It seems
That I can't shake those memories
I wonder if you have the same dreams too.
The littlest things that take me there
I know it sounds lame 4 but it’s so true
I know it’s not right, but it seems unfair
The things are reminding me of you
Sometimes I wish we could just pretend 5
Even if for only one weekend
So come on, tell me
Is this the end?
Drinking' tea in bed
Watching DVDs
When I discovered all your dirty grotty magazines
You take me out shopping and all we'd buy is trainers
As if we ever needed anything to entertain 6 us
The first time that you introduced me to your friends
And you could tell I was nervous, so you held my hand
When I was feeling down, you made that face you do
There is no one in the world who could replace you
Chorus
Dreams, Dreams
Of when we had just started things
Dreams of me and you
It seems, It seems
That I can't shake those memories
I wonder if you feel the same way too
The littlest things that take me there
I know it sounds lame but it’s so true
I know it’s not right, but it seems unfair
That the things are remind me of you
Sometimes I wish we could just pretend
Even if for only one weekend
So come on, tell me
Is this the end?
中文歌词
有时我一个人靠墙坐着回忆过往的时光,
特别是当那些热吻的情侣在我眼前晃来晃去的时候,
我想起你叫我“你的女孩”
那些玩笑的打闹,
那些亲昵的调笑,
我对你诉说我童年惨兮兮的故事,
不知道为什么,我觉得你值得信赖,
那时,我们整个周末都腻在一起,
我沉溺于埋在你短裤和T恤里的感觉,
我常梦见我们刚在一起的时候
梦里有你,有我
似乎我再也无法甩掉那些回忆,
你也会梦见我么?
这一点一滴的小事让我无法自拔,
我知道这听着很蠢,但事实就是这样,
这不对,但这些小事总让我想到你,实在不公平,
有时我巴望我们能假装还在一起,
就算只有一个周末也好,
事已至此,
告诉我,
我们真的就这么结束了么?
那时我们躺在床上喝茶,看DVD
我还发现那些被你翻烂了的色情杂志,
你带我出去购物,
我们只买运动鞋,
好像这是我们娱乐的方式,
当你第一次把我介绍给你的朋友,
你发现我很紧张,于是握紧了我的手,
当你发现我难过的时候,你冲着我做鬼脸,
对我而言你无可取代,
我常梦见我们刚在一起的时候
梦里有你,有我
似乎我再也无法甩掉那些回忆,
不知道你是不是也和我一样?
这一点一滴的小事让我无法自拔,
我知道这听着很蠢,但事实就是这样,
这不对,但这些小事总让我想到你,实在不公平,
有时我巴望我们能假装还在一起,
就算只有一个周末也好,
事已至此,
告诉我,
我们真的就这么结束了么?
歌手介绍
2007年夏天英国最耀眼的新星是谁?当然是Hip 7 Hop潮流女孩莉莉•艾伦.这个21岁小姑娘首支正式发行的单曲《Smile》在英国单曲排行榜蝉联两周冠军,网络下载量超过30万次。Lily Allen是英国著名演员、歌手Keith Allen和电影制作人Alison Owen的女儿,可谓系出名门。但父母在她5岁时就离异并各自成立新家庭,这让Lily Allen的童年和少年时代都充满叛逆的情绪。在她15岁那年,她拒绝组合坚持独立发展,结果与后来被誉为“英国首席女子组合”的Sugababes擦肩而过。
在5岁到14岁的求学期间,Lily Allen曾经13次转学,终于她放弃学业,选择“游历欧洲”。在欧洲游历时,小小年纪的Lily Allen靠打工来养活自己,她白天在唱片公司当销售小妹,晚上就去酒吧唱歌,以赚取生活费,“唱歌是我还是孩子时就喜欢和渴望的,也是唯一能打动我的,所以我要不停地唱,当然我也必须去唱。”这些同龄人缺乏的丰富人生阅历为她后来进行创作提供了良好的素材,尤其是歌词的写作,Lily Allen已经远远超出同龄人。06年11月,在公司的授意下,Lily Allen将自己创作的四首歌曲放到Myspace.com网站自己的博客里,结果造成近350万人浏览该网站,大部分是不到二十岁的年轻人。除了音乐上的影响力,Lily的形象打扮亦领导潮流,引来年轻人争相模仿,成为新一代的音乐潮流指标。
