美国乡村音乐:Help Me Remember
时间：2019-02-08 作者：英语课 分类：美国乡村音乐
I know that you're leavin'
As soon as the sun
Comes through the window
There's no talking this over
The damage is done
There's just too much hurt
Too much to forgive
Oh, but we both know
We weren't always like this
Help me remember
The way that we used to be
When nothin' else mattered
"cause you were lovin' me
Just for the night, one last time
One more good memory
When I look back That's what I wanna see
Oh, help me remember
Those days that were so good
Those nights that we held
Held on forever
When we weren't pretenders
We were as real as we felt
Oh, I don't want to fight anymore
Don't want the last thing I hear tonight
To be a slammin' door
Baby, let it be like before
Oh Just for the night, one last time
This could be the last time
I look in your eyes
The way that it used to be
'Cause you were lovin' me
Oh, (help me remember)help me remember
Oh, help me, help me
Oh, oh, oh, oh-
Rascal 1 Flatts由来自哥伦布的Gary Levox、Jay DeMarcus and Joe Don Rooney三名成员组成，是一个乡村音乐风格的乐队,他们以演唱和谐而闻名。
在他们出道早期，传统乡村音乐人批评这个三人组合，称他的音乐太稚嫩并带有流行乐的影子，然而乐迷和乡村电台却非常支持他们，2000年Rascal Flatts的首张专辑上市就卖出100万张。这三个小伙子第二张专辑《Melt》的销量则又比第一张的销量数字翻了一倍，并为他们带来了2002年度乡村音乐协会大奖的新人奖。2003年 Rascal Flatts获得了乡村音乐年度大奖的年度组合奖，2004也是他们再次蝉联该类别的奖项。
乐队几次赢得乡村音乐大奖，还多次在美国公告牌杂志上成为热门人物，他们的音乐具有很强的感染力，音乐宽广自由、旋律流畅富有灵气、歌声明丽清新。 Rascal Flatts将流行音乐、乡村音乐、摇滚音乐结合，主唱Gary Lerox的嗓音高亢嘹亮，清新自然，但又不失华丽、柔美。尤其是他那富有装饰性的颤音与鼻音，让他们的音乐锦上添花。他们乐曲配器丰富，除了乡村音乐常有的吉他、班卓琴和小提琴，还加入了电吉他、电子合成器、电贝斯、架子鼓、交响乐等等，所以音乐非常丰富饱满。
