听歌学英语:A Perfect Indian-Sinead O'Connor







A Perfect Indian

Sinead O'Connor



Sinead O'Connor出生在都柏林一个传统的天主教家庭,她小时候曾是唱诗班成员,十九岁就开始了歌手生涯。1987年出道时,唱片公司想要把她包装成娇俏可爱的小女生,可Sinead一气之下剃了个大光头。这个形象在多年后被与她有诸多相似之处的亚洲天后王菲炮制。1990年推出的单曲《Nothing Compares 2 U》是O'Connor 事业上的转折点,这是一首全球热门歌曲,几乎在世界各地的排行榜上都名列榜首。2002年,Sinead推出了一张纯粹的凯尔特传统民歌专辑。2003年9月,Sinead正式宣布退出歌坛。今天我们要学习O'Connor的“A Perfect Indian”是一首不可多得的好歌,加上O'Connor细腻忧伤的吟唱,使得这首歌如泣如诉,有着淡淡的不经意的忧郁。。
