Oscar-nominated song "Before My Time" by Scarlett Johansson


 "Before My Time"

Cold feet, don’t fail me now
So much left to do
If I should run ten thousand miles home

Would you be there?


Just a taste of things to come

I still smile

But I don’t want to die alone
I don’t want to die alone
Way before my time

Keep calm and carry on
No worse for the wear



I don’t want to die alone
I don’t want to die alone
Way before my time

Is it any wonder
All this empty air
I’m drowning in the laughter
Way before my time has come





Scarlett Johansson是我從電影Match Point 就開始喜歡上的演員,從幾年前知道他有在唱歌,但是沒什麼follow他的消息,直至他今年因為唱了一部紀錄片"Chasing Ice"的主題曲,入圍了85屆奧斯卡的最佳原創歌曲獎項。而我是在播入圍者介紹的時後,被紀錄片的節錄震憾畫面與直搗靈魂深處的歌聲所驚異:是誰的聲音? 隨即用手機查詢歌者,才發現竟是女神Scarlett Johansson所演唱。
真的是好有才華呀!



導演Jeff Orlowski跟隨國家地理雜誌攝影師James Balog為紀錄世界氣候變遷與冰河溶解的真相所執行的藝術與科研計畫,使用縮時攝影的手法捕捉全球18個冰川數年來的消逝與變化。他們帶回來的美麗又衝擊的影像,足以讓人感到世界生態的脆弱與生命倒數計時的惆悵:真的那一天是會到來的,冰川溶光了我們會如何呢...
不知道會不會有DVD的發行?


Voxtrot--Warmest part of the winter






Warmest part of the winter


Come inside you are hungry for sleep
You are the warmest part of the winter
When I was young I made a plan
That I would never break myself
Lift the shade and let some light in the room
We don't see the sun anymore
I've been told I gave my soul to live the days for someone else

Oh you awake to find you have died
Are you awake to find it's gone out of you
Are you awake to find you are all covered in dark
With nothing ready to start or to see through
I had a name
I let it leave me
I had a plan to settle you in
I am a man
I am amazing
Come out come out and let me go in

Done and done you caught the scent of a man
You can never get back to nature
And you walked down some dirty dreamer
Keep you up all through the dawn
Turn your head
Remember this is free love
You are free to bury the body
That ties you down and sets you free and touches you from right to wrong

You awake to find you have died
Oh you awake to find it's gone out of you
Oh you awake to find you are all covered in dark
With nothing ready to start or to see through
I had a name
I let it leave me
I had a plan to settle you in
I am a man
I am amazing
Come out come out and let me go in

Tell me you love me but don't say it with words
I wanna feel your body around me
And twenty years of push and pull have left you searchin' for a name
But maybe I have come here to die
To watch the life go out of my body
Take apart the ugly days and you will never see the sun

I had a name
I let it leave me
I had a plan to settle you in
I am man
I am amazing
Come out come out and let me come in


一個神奇撫慰人心的團的解散,就像流星一樣過天際,然後就消失於依舊燦爛的星空。
看維基百科上面的年表顯示他們活動的時間有十年的時間(2000-2010)但是令人不解的是發行的作品卻沒有完整的專輯......

主唱 Ramesh Srivastava2010四月中發表解散聲後,於2012的個人發表了自己的專輯!!,我只能說....我有部份被感動到....真的很吶喊~~終於啊~我的老天
只不過,這些獨立發行的音樂人真的很辛苦,我想自己獨立出來了,應該很多事情都要自己,尤其是宣傳....
還年輕,希望有一天他能夠找到合適的方向....


THE KING


new york, she used to hold me like a mother
but now she just throws me to the lions and the wolves
i remember your face
it stares at me like the hero

long ago i was king of your world

you held me close and i made you feel
like you were protected from the forces of nature

but when i close my eyes late at night

baby, i'm the king, i'm the king of your world
and you stare at me like someone who
someone who will crumble with the flesh and blood
and i'm asking you, can you still love me
after all the hell that i put you through
i was mad enough to break your heart
baby, i'm the king and they're never gonna take me alive
take me alive

damned in the country, damned in the city

damns will be the work of your hands
the work of my hands was the worth of my world
the worst of my life

and once upon a time i was king of your world

you held me close and i made you feel
like you were protected from the forces of nature

but when i close my eyes late at night

baby, i'm the king, i'm the king of your world
and you stare at me like someone who
someone who will crumble with the flesh and blood
and i'm asking you, can you still love me
after all the hell that i put you through
i was mad enough to break your heart
baby, i'm the king and they're never gonna take me alive
take me alive
take me alive

but when i close my eyes late at night

baby, i'm the king, i'm the king of your world
and you stare at me like someone who
someone who will crumble with the flesh and blood
and i'm asking you, can you still love me
after all the hell that i put you through
i was mad enough to break your heart
baby, i'm the king and they're never gonna take me alive
take me alive
take me alive



RECORDING HEATHEN EARTH





 
 

Admiral Radley--I Left U Cuz I Luft U

              Jason Lytle                  Ariana Murray             Aaron Espinoza         Aaron Burtch

Admiral Radley是我後來才知道跟我的愛團Earlimart有關係,所以更加覺得這樣的組合是樂迷所樂見的。也就是說是一的Grandaddy團長 Jason Lytle 的團與團員右一 Aaron Burtch (drums)加上中間 Earlimart的Aaron Espinoza & Ariana Murray所組成的可愛團體!


Admiral Radley在官網說他們兩個團本來就是互相認識十年以上的好朋友,所以想說何不來個合作應該可以激盪出更多好玩的作品,於是在2011年發了I Heart California 這碟,今年我才知道實在有點晚。(翻白眼)




回頭來看看幾首好聽的歌 





I Left U Cuz I Luft U

I left you
'Cause I loved you
Road signs shot to hell
In the night

I left you
'Cause I loved you
Our chariot sits busted and stuck
In your song

I left you
'Cause I loved you
Little tree you're too young
To put that make up on

Yeah I left you
'Cause I loved you
Now dumb echoes drown out the sounds
Of love

So I left you
So I left you
So I left you
So I left you
So I left you
 The Thread
The road ahead is like a thread
Still attached to the unknown
Where we'll go and what we'll do
Who we'll know and who we knew
Will we have to be alone?

When I found you it's like I knew
I would have to change my views
Thoughts about the thread of course
Tying knots to reinforce
Strings that I don't wanna lose

Like 'Will we live to ninety-eight?'
Watch our hair go gray
Will we go out with a bang?
Will we fade away?

In other words I hope
That we still hold hands
And laugh about the way things end
Will we live to ninety-eight?
Watch our hair go gray
Will we go out with a bang?
Will we fade away?

In other words I hope
That we still hold hands
And watch as the piano lands on us

The road ahead is like a bed
You and I can rest our eyes
Before you hear from me
That is all I'll ever need
And a little more time

Before you hear from me
That is all I'll ever need
And just a little more time
I Heart California
I am California... yeah?
Ice tea in my hair
Drugs fall out of diaper bags
As midwesterners stare

I am California
Long walks on the 5
Truck stops and the symphony
And I'll be here when I die

I heart California... I love California
I heart California
I heart California... I love California
I heart California

I am California... yeah?
And you're a Leicestershire
I'm citrus and summertime
And you're haggis and cider

I am California... yeah?
The warm friendlier skies
Fake tits and the symphony
And I'll be here when I die

I heart California... I love California
I heart California
I heart California... I love California
I heart California

I heart California... I love California
I heart California

I heart California... I love California

Bombay Bicycle Club - You Already Know

 



Bombay Bicycle Club - You Already Know

the moment we forgot we were just good friends
I moved my arm her face went red again
one more bus home 
another silent weekend

said love was painted gold
like all things growing old
the paint peels and slowly falls
you already know
you already know
you already know

looking out the glass 
always sit together
we both know we could be someone better
not with our heads like London weather

said love was painted gold
like all things growing old
the paint peels and slowly falls
you already know 
you already know
you already know
you already know

----------------------------------------------------

如果能與最了解自己的人相愛
是非常幸福的
因為如同最好的朋友
可以讓彼此成長
就像這首歌所吟唱的一樣

第一次好好聽完Bombay Bicycle Club的歌
他們的旋律與放鬆的吟唱方式
讓我不禁就算跟著哼唱也能感受到幸福的感覺

we both know we could be someone better
not with our heads like London weather“




Newton Faulkner-Write It On Your Skin

Newton Faulkner出生於英國的Reigate, 薩裡郡,一開始我以為這個頂著雷鬼頭又蓄著落腮鬍的他可能是個大叔,沒想到才子現年僅27歲(1985年1月11日生)....真是長著一張老臉起來放的歌手。彈一手好吉他加上爽朗的嗓音,他的首張專輯" Hand Built by Robots"發行於2007年7月30號,在英國獲得雙白金(2x Platinum)的榮譽,兩年後,2009年9月28日發行第二張專輯"Rebuilt by Humans",此張專輯也達到金唱片(GOLD)的銷量榮譽認證。2010-2012年初都跑遍大大小小的音樂季參與演出,並於2012的個人巡迴中表示他的新專輯取名為"Write It On Your Skin",2012年7月9日專輯推出後厲害的衝上了英國專輯排行榜中的TOP1! 


"People Should Smile More" 是第一張專輯中我最喜歡的



在2012新專輯中"Write It On Your Skin" 是我還蠻喜歡的一首,MV又是手繪風格正合我心,哈。有時候就是會被這樣的歌手不偏不倚的打中內心剛好喜歡的那一部分,然後就開始瘋狂的找他以前的歌來聽了....



"Write It On Your Skin"

Take everything you know and write it on your skin
And you can carry on and forget everything
Take everything you own and put it in your car
You can drive away, drive away so far,
And drive into a lake and take off all your clothes,
Set your clothes on fire, now you are alone
But you've got all you know written on your skin,
So you can carry on and forget everything

All the things I'd rather be,
All the things I'd rather be

I can't, I can't, I can't stay around here
I can only leave

Take everything you know and write it on your skin
And you can carry on and forget everything
Take everything you own and put it in your car
You can drive away, drive away so far,
Then drive into a lake and take off all your clothes,
Set your clothes on fire, now you are alone
But you've got all you know written on your skin,
So you can carry on and forget everything

All the things I'd rather be,
All the things I'd rather be

I can't, I can't, I can't stay around here
I can only leave
I can't, I can't, I can't stay around here
I can only leave

Life feels like a music box, I'm spinning round slowly and I can't get off
And life feels like a music box, I'm spinning round slowly and I can't get off
(Let's start again)
And life feels like a music box (start again) I'm spinning round slowly and I can't get off (let's start again)
And life feels like a music box (start again) I'm spinning round slowly and I can't get off

I can't, I can't, I can't stay around here
I can only leave
I can't, I can't, I can't stay around here
I can only leave
I can't, I can't, I can't stay around here.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

這首歌很可愛,因為他想逃離一切,先是把想記的東西全都抄在身上,然後把家當裝在車子裡開始落跑,可以開到很遠湖邊,把車開進湖裡,把身上的衣物都脫了,燒掉,孑然一身。聽起來蠻詭異的,但是他接著告訴你樂趣就在你把該記的都抄在身上,所以連腦袋都能放空!
多麼遠離塵囂的歌曲,壓力大的時候聽可能真有紓壓的效果.......想像自己腦袋放空光溜溜...恩...... 


Write It On Your Skin  Release date: 9 July 2012

Rachael Yamagata - Heavyweight


Rachael Yamagata - Heavyweight (Audio) from Tanz on Vimeo.

You think you are such a heavyweight
It don't mean nothing
At the end of the day
There is not a thing here left to break
I won't feeling nothing
There's nothing you can say to
Make me feel like I should walk away
I'll help you bear your heavyweight

You can take you anger out on me
oh, what's it matter
If my hope gets shattered
I will love you through all your mistakes
I'll carry you, your heavyweight

No matter what you do
No matter what you say
You're pulling punches
You're pulling punches
Hit below the belt
You give yourself away

I'm pulling for you
I'm pulling for you

Such a losing fight of me
Don't give up tonight
You'll be okay

You think you are such a heavyweight
But I'm sure of something
You don't have to be afraid to cry
Just show me how you've got inside
I can be your place to hide
If you would just release your pride
Win or lose, I'm by your side
Give up your heavyweight tonight

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Keaton Henson - Kronos

I've been looking for you all year long
Just to tell me I have not been wrong
Is this all that you can give me back?
Come on, woman, you'll have to do less than that

And now I see that waking everyday
Always leads straight to feeling this way
And if you have no more to say than that
Oh well, I'll be leaving and I won't come back

I'd give you all I have
If I could get it back
This has been the best of me
I hope you end up missing me
And I'll hold on to that (x3)

Is the water dragging at your feet
Urging you to slip down underneath
Are you gonna let me take your soul
My god, you lead me on, I'm gonna eat you whole

You son of a bitch,
Stop writing songs like this
You think you're better than them
But they don't have to pretend

I give you all I have
If I could get it back
This has been the best of me
I hope you end up missing me
And I'll hold on to that (x5) 

----------------------------------------------------------------

即使跟Keaton Henson之前的曲風有點不同(之前的)
而且我竟然還是被他歌詞中You son of a bitch,/Stop writing songs like this被閃到
總之旋律起伏真的很有情緒
他真的是一個很有靈魂的歌手...


畫畫也很厲害的他
看過這個訪問(他用圖畫回答)會更了解他的感官世界
