音乐咖啡厅:英国歌坛独立魔女Carina Round——Backseat
Artist：Carina Round
Song：Backseat
We were sleeping in for years, letting go of our friends
Scaring our friends
We were seeing clear and closing our eyes
And our lashes 1 intertwined
The things you find in the backseat of your mind
What you find
And we filled each others footprints in the snow
Full of warm red alcohol
We were learning to make the world stand still
And it will, but untill
Do I lie in the backseat of your mind?
Do I lie?
Just a second and were gone
Just an imprint 2 when were done
It should be forever
God told me
We're born into the wrong time
(Whatever you're doing, I'm there with you)
(God bless you)
(Whatever I'm doing, you're here with me)
(God bless you)
Carina 1979年出生于英国乌味罕普顿的低希尔地区的一个意大利家庭。生活贫苦，周围的环境也很糟糕，对她来说唯一能作为营养补给的就是她妈妈收藏的一些专辑— Led Zeppelin，Nine Simone和Roxy Music....她祖父喜欢唱歌，使得在学校读书的Carine也受到感染因而时常逃课在家，躲在衣橱里，直到妈妈出去工作，然后一个人呆在家里听音乐。听着听着她就会提高分贝声嘶力竭的跟着唱机一起唱，这样的行为引来邻居和学校的极度不满，可是她似乎毫不在乎。在她看来Physical graffiti才是教她应该学什么的老师。
96年夏天，carina得到了一个机会能在伯明翰的一个地下音乐酒吧演出三个晚上，从此她便开始了自己的酒吧唱歌生涯。到99年时，她几乎在英国所有酒吧演出过，并与David Gray，Miles Hunt，Ben Christophers，Mark Eitzel，Cousteau...等人合作。
Carine与贝司手Simon Smith,鼓手Marous Galley 3组成乐队。他们首次合作是在COLDPLAY伯明翰音乐节的演出上，而这次演出之后她便被制作人Gavin Monaghan发现并直接进入录音棚，短短的10天时间就完成了她的首张专辑。Carina以她天生阴冷嗓音和强烈的现场表现力出色的诠释了这张专辑。
有人将carina round和PJ harvey相比较，确实，他们一样是个性派的女声，也有相似的尖利，但是carina还有着the smith的低郁以及她所独有的那份桀骜和坚强。
