音乐咖啡厅:I Will Be Blessed

Lisa Ekdahl －I Will Be Blessed

I will be blessed
I will be blessed
I will be blessed
I will be blessed

If the sun
Refused to shine
Down on me
'Till the end of time
As long as I have your caress¹
Your tenderness
I will be blessed

If the stars
Refused their light
Just for me
They stay out of sight
If you say you love me best
I won't care less
I will be blessed

I will be blessed
I will be blessed
I will be blessed
I will be blessed

If the wind won't blow your name
Until i'm still
I will
If it's whispered from above
The highest hill
I will

If the moon
Up in the sky
Turned its face
From my lonely eye
I could never be distressed²
Or love you less
I will be blessed

I will be blessed
I will be blessed
I will be blessed
I will be blessed

歌手介绍:

瑞典人气天后丽莎爱克妲（Lisa Ekdahl）的首张专辑在北国掀起一阵抢购风潮，是继ABBA、羊毛衫合唱团之后，瑞典乐坛的一股新势力。丽莎的外貌妩媚动人，歌声却有如雏燕般稚气，令人闻之倍感怜惜。专辑《何时离开天堂》（When Did You Leave Heaven）被CNN评为“新一代欧洲爵士巨星”称号、Jazziz评为“可爱、新鲜的经典曲目选辑”，同时也被Billboard杂志选入“流行新星”榜中，可谓佳评如潮、成绩斐然。搭配合作的彼德诺达（Peter Nordahl）三重奏是瑞典著名的爵士乐团，与丽莎自1990年即开始合作演出，默契绝佳。专辑中收录了Cole Porter、Gershwin等名家代表作品；而丽莎三重奏的感性演出，已然跳脱了爵士乐的框架，也令人联想起Billie Holiday与Oscar Peterson Trio的历史性组合。

这张专辑是丽莎爱克妲2001年推出的Sings Salvadore Poe《拂晓时分》,是她的第三张英文专辑，收录大量Bossa Nova风格曲目，全部采用作曲家隆瓦托雷波的诗作和歌曲，并由他亲自担任吉他伴奏。全片除了淡淡的吉他弦音，很少其他乐器，再加上Lisa略带慵懒的歌声，听来轻松、舒爽，没有压力。丽莎的声音清澈、自然，透着本色的天真和童稚，被专家推崇与爵士相比，此专辑是更适合她的。
