Dido - Quiet Times
You ask me where I go tonight,
I'll go back to today last year
When me and you had to make each other happy
and there was hope with everything
It's hard enough to feel the world
as it is and hold on anything
Without these quiet times,
you've bought round here
I'm gonna have to run away
I'm sure that I belong some other place
I've seen another side of all
I've seen it keeps me wond’rin' where my family is,
It's hard enough to see the world
as it and hold on anything
Without these quiet times,
comin' round here
And I miss you,
And I want you,
But I can't have you
Even when you're here
I suppose I have to take you with me
broken mind I'd rather leave you here
To forget everything you've seen
and known here as every idea
When you walk up in the street
and hold my hand and smile
But I won't be takin' it,
'cause I know how it turns out and it takes me back
To these quiet times, comin' round here
And I miss you,
And I want you,
You're not comin' back,
And I need you,
But I can't have you,
even when you're here
And I miss you,
And I want you,
You're not comin' back,
And I need you,
But I can't have you,
even when you're here

"Quiet Times"这首歌的曲风平稳，听这首歌就好像在看一部老电影，耳朵里听见的是一个意味深长的故事。抚慰人心的嗓音，适时的鼓点加入，艰难时世，寂寞心情。对于Dido，这五年是对自己的一个积淀，是对心绪的调整。于是，她把家从伦敦搬到LA开始新专辑的创作。Dido说自己之前并非某个城市的狂热者，之后，当一个个好点子接踵而至时，你不得不感叹这是一个绝佳的创作城市。这座城融合了想象、创意，使之变得极富戏剧性。每个人差不多九点坠入梦乡之时，自己呢，便可以在一个人的夜潜心创作。
Dido在2008发行的新专辑叫做《Safe Trip Home》。封面颇具科幻味：蓝色的星球，密布着寂静感，那个缓缓着陆的宇航员即将安全抵达。他们常说，漂泊的人会在Dido的歌声中重获温暖。很佩服这样的歌手，触景生情会想起，即使已是五年。 |
