:玫瑰花很美,鲜红如火、奔放热烈,火红的玫瑰永远会令情人怦然心动。只是,当玫瑰花枯萎时,凋零的花儿是否更显失意者言之不尽的哀怨、凄惋和无助?
仅就歌词而言,这首歌独具匠心之处在于意象的选取——落日、石头和凋零的玫瑰花,三者完美的结合把失恋者凄凉落魄的心境、孤注一掷的坚强以及坚强外表下不堪一击的脆弱挥洒得淋漓尽致。由此,歌曲虽然反映的是失恋,却没有象大多数失恋歌曲那样,璇入一发不可收拾的伤感泥淖,配上主唱清凉、劲道的嗓音,更让歌曲尽显Roxette独树一帜的热烈和奔放……
推荐曲目1 : It must have been love——此曲后来被收入全球热门影片Pretty
Woman(《风月俏佳人》)电影原声专辑中,是Roxette最成功的作品。
推荐曲目2 :Listen
to your heart——与The look同出自专辑Look sharp(《小心》),成为该专辑最受欢迎的热门单曲之一。
推荐曲目3 : Listen to your
heart——D.H.T纯美钢琴伴奏版“不插电”演唱,2005年,正是凭借这首舍掉电子合成后的unplugged翻唱版,名不经传的比利时D.H.T(Dance
House Trance)乐队得以成功打入美国音乐界。
推荐曲目4 :Joyride—— Roxette 第三章专辑 Joyride
同名主打歌曲,意为“兜风、驾车游玩”。有点遗憾,这支曲子本应在五一节期间向您推荐,但不妨保留下来,留待下个假日与您一起快乐去“兜风”。
Lyrics
Fading like a
flower by
Roxette
In a time where the sun descends alone
I ran a long long way from home
To
find a heart that's made of stone
I will try, I just need a little time
To get your
face right out of my mind
To see
the world through different eyes
Every time I see you oh I try to hide away
But when we
meet it seems I can't let go
Every time you leave the room I feel I'm fading like a flower
Tell
me why
When I scream there's no reply
When I reach out there's nothing to find
When I sleep
I break down and cry
Cry, yeah
Every time I see you oh I try to hide away
But when we
meet it seems I can't let go
Every time you leave the room I feel I'm fading
like a flower
Fading like a rose
Fading like a rose
Beaten by the storm
I
Talking to myself
Getting washed by the rain
It's such a cold cold town
Oh, it's a such cold town
Every time I see you oh I try to hide away
But when we
meet it seems I can't let go
Every time you leave the room I feel I'm fading
like a flower
Every time I see you oh I try to hide away
But when we
meet it seems I can't let go
Every time you leave the room I feel I'm fading
like a flower
Every time I see you oh I try to hide away
But when we
meet it seems I can't let go
Every time you leave the room I feel I'm fading
like a flower
