音乐咖啡厅:Chasing Pavements一个人行弥敦道
从单曲《Chasing 1 Pavements》和《Hometown Glory》的旋律中，渗透出的成熟韵味，并非年轻爱侣的小情小爱。
Chasing Pavements - Adele
Ive made up my mind
dont need to think it over
if im wrong i am right
dont need to look no further
this aint lust 2 i know this is love
but if i tell the world
i'll never say enough
cos it was not said to you
and thats exactly what i need to do
if i end up with you
should i give up
or should i just keep chasing pavements
even if it leads no where,
or would it be a waste
even if i knew my place should i leave it there.
should i give up
or should i just keep chasing pavements
even if it leads nowhere
i build myself up
and fly around in circles
waiting as my heart drops
and my back begins to tingle
finally could this be it
or should i give up
or should i just keep chasing pavements
even if it leads no where,
or would it be a waste
even if i knew my place should i leave it there.
should i give up
or should i just keep chasing pavements
even if it leads nowhere
yeaaah ehh
should i give up
or should i just keep chasing pavements
even if it leads no where,
or would it be a waste
even if i knew my place
should i leave it there
should i give up
or should i just keep on chasing pavements
should i just keep on chasing pavements
ohhhh ohh
should i give up
or should i just keep chasing pavements
even if it leads nowhere
or would it be a waste
even if i knew my place should i leave it there
should i give up
or should i just keep chasing pavements
even if it leads nowhere

专辑介绍：
不论中外，吉他唱作人路线有如历久不衰依然受尽青睐，近年他方的英国陆续有不少新鲜上阵的唱作型女歌手，今次有被誉为“新Amy Winehouse”的Adele。年仅19岁的Adele生於英国Tottenham，自幼受爵士乐薰陶，如Ella Fitzgerald和Etta Jame都是她陪伴她成长的“音乐老师”。早于14岁已开始作曲，及后毕业于著名表演艺术学府BRIT School，亦即于Kate Nash、Amy Winehouse和Katie Melua等人份属校友。毕业后曾跟随不少音乐人作巡演乐手，如Jamie T、Amos Lee和Keren Ann等。
07年底分别推出了两张细碟《Hometown Glory》和《Chasing Pavements》，直至本月底首张专辑《19》才上市。尽管年纪轻轻，但她的唱腔并不幼嫩，混合骚灵的技巧及具爆发力的演译，唱功不容忽视。有人认为她的声线像Dusty Springfield和Jill Scott，那略带低沉而沙哑的嗓子颇适合唱爵士和蓝调。
据她所说这张专辑是关于18至19岁年青人的爱情，是一张比较失落的唱片。但从单曲《Chasing Pavements》和《Hometown Glory》的旋律中，渗透出的成熟韵味，并非年轻爱侣的小情小爱。《Daydreamer》中以Acoustic吉他作伴奏，刻意放轻的唱腔结合旋律流露出简朴之美。同类型的《Melt My Heart To Stone》则较具节奏感，那充满感情的演译，更为动听。
喜欢写诗的她，在写歌词的时候亦有渗进其中，尽显才情。当Amy Winehouse过著荒唐日子之时，且看她会否藉此机会攀上更高位置。
- My dog likes chasing rabbits. 我的狗喜欢追捕兔子。
- The children were having fun, chasing each other's shadows. 孩子们追逐着彼此的影子，玩得很开心。
