《Life for rent》-Dido
I haven´t really ever found a place that I call home I never stick around quite long enough to make it I apologize that once again I´m not in love
But it´s not as if I mind that your heart ain´t exactly breaking It´s just a thought, only a thought But if my life is for rent and I don´t lean to buy Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine I´ve always thought that I would love to live by the sea To travel the world alone and live my life more simply I have no idea what´s happened to that dream Cos there´s really nothing left here to stop me
It´s just a thought, only a thought But if my life is for rent and I don´t learn to buy Well I deserve nothing more than I get Cos nothing I have is truly mine
While my heart is a shield and I won´t let it down While I am so afraid to fail so I won´t even try Well how can I say I´m alive If my life is for rent…
专辑介绍:
经过了四年的漫长等待之后,电子流行乐歌星Dido终于推出了第二张个人专辑,自从受到Eminem的单曲《Stan》的推动作用以后,Dido专辑的销量飞速增长,人气也呈几何倍数的提升,这张倍受期待的专辑推出以后,已经在英国专辑榜上轻松的成为了冠军,随后又以接近19万2千张的单周销量在美国Billboard排行榜上位居第四名,这也追平了她第一张专辑《No Angel》的记录。
在这张专辑中,Dido主要表现了她的音乐工作的艰辛,以及感情上的挫折等许多令她伤心的记忆,特别是在最近和多年的男友分手的情形,颇有些“功名利禄虽苦取,红颜知己更难求”的感觉。在上一张大获成功的专辑《No Angel》之后,Dido长时间的投入到制作这张新专辑的工作中,为了保证专辑在音乐和商业上不会出现大滑坡,Dido也采用了通常的做法,那就是尽量保持上张专辑的原班人马操刀,所以这张专辑还是主要由她的哥哥Rollo担任制作人,但是这也在一定程度上影响了音乐在创新方面的工作。事实上也是如此,在音乐风格上基本和上一张没有太多的区别,不过一些旋律的处理上比前一张专辑显得更为自然了。此外专辑里也有一些令人回味的单曲,诸如《White Flag》《Stoned》《See You When You're 40》《Do You Have a Little Time》以及同名主打《Life for Rent》等。
