音乐咖啡厅:Thinking Of You-Katy Perry

katy perry出生于加州圣巴巴拉.由于生活在一个基督徒家庭.因此Katy从小在教堂里唱歌.听着基督教音乐长大.
　　长大的katy疯狂着迷于Alanis Morissette和Freddie Mercury,但宗教音乐依然情有独钟.于是,当时年仅16岁的katy在2001年以Katy Hudson这个名字在Red Hill Records发行的一张基督徒唱片.之后,katy的曲风也慢慢倾向于流行音乐.
　　17岁时katy在Glen Ballard的指导下看是学习写歌[Glen Ballard,1995年制作Alanis Morissette的冠军歌曲Jagged Little Pill].几年后,葛莱美奖提名的音乐制作团队Matrix[曾与Avril Lavigne,Shakira和Korn有过的合作]计划录制他们自己的专辑,并邀请Perry成为团队两名主唱之一,但最终项目被搁置.
　　在2006年.Katy出了一首名为”Goodbye For Now”的歌.她当时谈论到了自己在演艺圈里挣扎的情形.,就像她以前出CD的低销量.
　　终于.她的歌被Virgin唱片公司的首席执行官(CEO) Jason Flom听到了.他觉得Katy有唱歌的潜质.
　　2007年katy签约Columbia,首支单曲<Ur So Gay>,以它恶作剧式的歌词渐渐在网络流行起来,伴随着音乐录像带的推出,Perry的歌迷也相应增长.虽年仅23岁, 但这位来自美国加利福尼亚州的漂亮摇滚女孩,已有多年自己写歌,弹吉他的经历,并且也是一个经验丰富的,善于讲故事的人。

 

英文歌词：

Artist：Katy Perry
Song：Thinking Of You

Comparisons¹ are easily turned
Once you've had a taste of perfection
Like an apple hanging from a tree
I picked the ripest one
I still got the seed

You said move on
Where do I go
I guess second best
Is all I will know

Cause when I'm with him
I am thinking of you
Thinking of you
What you would do if
You were the one
Who was spending the night
Oh I wish that I
Was looking into your eyes

You're like an Indian summer
In the middle of winter
Like a hard candy
With a surprise center
How do I get better
Once I've had the best
You said there's
Tons of fish in the water
So the waters I will test

He kissed my lips
I taste your mouth
He pulled me in
I was disgusted² with myself

Cause when I'm with him
I am thinking of you
Thinking of you
What you would do if
You were the one
Who was spending the night
Oh I wish that I
Was looking into...

You're the best
And yes I do regret
How I could let myself
Let you go
Now the lesson's learned
I touched it I was burned
Oh I think you should know

Cause when I'm with him
I am thinking of you
Thinking of you
What you would do if
You were the one
Who was spending the night
Oh I wish that I

Was looking into your eyes
Looking into your eyes
Looking into your eyes
Oh won't you walk through
And bust³ in the door
And take me away
Oh no more mistakes
Cause in your eyes I'd like to stay...
stay....
