2届格莱美奖最佳流行女歌手得主Sarah Mclachlan (莎拉-克劳克兰),以她独濯于一般泛泛流行乐的歌声以及创作,跳脱出流行商业机制的摆弄,仿佛从一处超越俗尘外的境地,将她对音乐与自我的执着,汇成一道清流注入歌坛。这首《Fallen》就在缥缈的背景上渲晕出深邃的美感。
这位来自加拿大的创作歌手不但以清澈蜿蜒川流般的歌声,服贴了许多听者的耳朵与心灵,她的创作更是将优美的旋律展现出时而感动人心、时而承载信念的丰富歌词包裹成流行抒情乐界最具个人风格的派别之一。
Fallen Sarah Mclachlan
Heaven bent to take my hand And lead me through the fire Be the long awaited answer to a long and painful fight
Truth be told I've tried my best but somewhere along the way I got caught up in all there was to offer and the cost was so much more than I could bear
Though i've tried, I've fallen... I have sunk so low I have messed up better I should know So don't come round here and tell me i told you so...
We all begin with good intent Love was raw and young We believed that we could change ourselves The past could be undone But we carry on our backs the burden Time always reveals The lonely light of morning the wound that would not heal it's the bitter taste of losing everything that i have held so dear. fallen I have sunk so low I have messed up better I should know So don't come round here and tell me i told you so...
Heaven bent to take my hand nowhere left to turn I'm lost to those i thought were friends to everyone i know Oh they turned their heads embarrassed pretend that they don't see but it's one missed step you'll slip before you know it and there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed
Though i've tried, I've fallen... I have sunk so low I have messed up better I should know So don't come round here and tell me i told you so... I have messed up better I should know So don't come round here and tell me i told you so |
