民谣女皇Jewel Kilcher近日终于发声了！但是不是新专辑，是她从艺快20年来的首张正式精选大碟，距离上张乡村大碟Sweet and Wild已经过去了3年时间，自2008年结束了和美国牛仔大王Ty Murray10年的爱情长跑，喜结连理后，我们的民谣女皇已经非常享受了居家的日子；在2011年为Ty生下了他们第一个爱情结晶后，Jewel似乎并没有再度回归乐坛的想法，只是依旧偶尔亮亮相，当当评委，某个重要唱首歌，非常悠闲的享受她和老公的南方乡村生活；首张精选的大碟注定是Jewel对于以前音乐生涯的一次最大的终结，同时也是她对于即将的音乐之路一个全新的定位和起点.
歌词：
Down So Long
Sun sets 'cross the ocean
I'm a thousand miles from anywhere
My pocketbook and my heart both just got stolen
And the sun act like she don't even care
The wind blows cold when you reach the top
It feels like someone's face is stuck to the bottom of my shoe
I got a plastic Jesus, a cordless telephone for every corner of my room
Got everybody but you telling me what to do
But I 've been down so long
Ooh, it can't be longer still
I’ve been down so long
That the end must be drawing near
I look to everybody but me to answer my prayers
’Til I saw an angel in a bathroom
Who said she saw no one worth saving anywhere
And a blind man on the corner said it's simple, like flipping a coin
Don't matter what side it lands on if it's someone else's dime
But I 've been down so long
Ooh, it can't be longer still
I’ve been down so long
That the end must be drawing near
I take a trip, I catch a train, I catch a plane
I got a ticket in my hand
And then a man takes my money
And like cattle we all stand
But I 've been down so long
Ooh, it can't be longer still
I’ve been down so long
That the end must be drawing near
That the end must be drawing near |
