音乐咖啡厅:Tom s Diner 来点节奏诱惑阳光心情
Tom s Diner by Suzanne Vega
新民谣/新女性代表—Suzanne Vega，她的声音开启了崔西查普曼、夏恩柯文，多莉艾莫丝甚至[不平凡]的凡妮莎……这类都会民谣型文艺女青年的音乐世界，她也是唯一纵横80-90年代的新女性歌者兼词曲创作者，莎拉麦可劳克兰更因她的启发，在纽泽西马特湾小镇上无心插柳地就揠起了莉莉丝音乐节。 Suzanne Vega可谓继Joan Baez之后最具代表性的美国民谣才女歌女。她令民谣复兴于80年代流行乐坛，直到90年代的今天，Suzanne凭籍Fold Ro-ck以及火热动感的跳舞音乐仍稳座乐坛举足轻重之位。 早在少女时代，Suzanne Vega就接触了诗人歌手Leanard Cohen及早期的Bob Dyl-an知性音乐，开始对Folk Rock产生憧憬，并尝试以一支吉它在纽约城的夜总会自弹自唱，以简洁明快的手法演绎自己的作品。
歌词:
I am sitting in the morning
at the diner on the corner
I am waiting at the counter
for the man to pour the coffee
and he fills it only half-way
and before I even argue
he is looking out of window
at somebody coming in
It is always nice to see you
says the man behind counnter
to the woman who has came in
she is shaking her unbrella
and I look the other way
as they are kissing their hellos
and I am prettending
not to see them
and instead I pour milk
I open up the paper
there is a story of an actor
who had dead while he was drinking
it is no one I had heard of
and I turning to the horiscope
looking for the funnies
when I feeling someone watching me
and so I raise my head
there’s a woman on the outside
looking inside does she see me
no she does not really see me
‘cause she sees her own reflection
and I trying not to notice
that she is hitching up her skirt
and when she straitening her stockings
her hair has gotten wet
OH this rain it will continue
through the morning as I’m listening
to the bells of the cathedral
I am thinking of your voice
and of the midnight picnic
once upon time before the rain began
and I finished up my coffee
and it’s the time to catch the train
do’do’do’la do’do’do’la
do’do’do’la do’da’do’la
