美国乡村音乐:Same Old Song
时间：2019-02-04 作者：英语课 分类：美国乡村音乐
Now i love country music
And i guess i always will
But these days, when i turn on the radio
It's just not the same thrill
I like a song that gives me chillbumps
Now and then there's some that still do
But i'm fed up with the same old vanilla
Hey how about you
I'm tired of the same old guy
With the same old song
About the same old love
It goes on and on and on
Same old guitar
And the same old strum
I may be country but i'm not dumb
Hey there mr. songwriter
Come and visit in my home
Then tell me about life being perfect
And love that goes on and on and on
Then ride with me in my old bronco
Down to the factory for eight hours
Then let me introduce you to my supervisor
Then write me a song about sunshine and flowers
And the same old guy
With the same old song
About the same old love
It goes on and on
Same old guitar
And the same old strum
I may be country but i'm not dumb
I want to hear a song about passion
I want to hear a song about sin
I want to hear a song about redemption
Yeah, sing me one of them
Tell me about a cowboy in australia
Tell me about a prisoner in china
Tell me about some old stock car driver
Down in orangeburg, south carolina
Instead of..
The same old guy
With the same old song
About the same old love
It goes on and on and on
Same old guitar
And the same old strum
I may be country but i'm not dumb
Same old
Same old
Same old
作为一个不在意是否成为明星的人，Blake Shelton 在过去的几年中确实闯出了名头。他的第一张专辑就令人吃惊的获得了诸如排行榜、乡村周报、音乐排行榜杂志、新进冠军单曲、音乐录影带榜首以及一个金唱片这样的荣誉。但是对于Blake Shelton,这都只是快乐的一部分，制作乡村音乐才是他的目标。
"我并不关心是否成为偶像或是冲击排行榜，”这位英俊的成功者说。“我不管是否成为公众人物。我所关心的只是好歌。我希望人们知道我是因为我尝了好听的歌。我希望作为一个唱了你所不能忘怀的歌曲的人被人们记住。”
为了这个目标他做的很不错。Shelton以一首给人以深刻印象的关于电话答录机的叙事情歌Austin"脱颖而出
以16岁之龄就获得家乡奥克拉荷马州年轻新秀Denbo Diamond Award殊荣的Blake Shelton，2001年的首张专辑《Blake Shelton》中的"Austin"硬是在Billboard乡村单曲蝉连5周冠军。
第2张专辑《The Dreamer》，找来乡村制作好手Bobby Braddock来操刀，首支单曲"The Baby"，在Blake的磁性嗓音下显的温柔又抒情，轻易的坐上乡村单曲榜冠军；其它如"Heavy Liftin'"、"In My Heaven"、"My Neck Of The Woods"也都是不容错过的乡村佳作。
