英语原声歌曲赏析:Promises Don't Come Easy

bolia

Caron Nightingale的姓氏Nightingale在英文中的本义是一种歌喉婉转动听的鸟儿-夜莺。人如其名，Caron Nightingale的嗓音也像夜莺那样动听，让人闻之感动。在她至今已长达22年的音乐生涯中，这位来自加拿大多伦多的才女从事过作曲、演唱、制作和发行，赢得过无数的奖项。这首Promises Don't Come Easy是她的一首名曲，曾经被香港电视剧《创世纪》选作插曲。这首歌以内心独白的方式，对于应该如何对待感情进行了反思，说出了Promises Don't Come Easy的心声。这首歌中Nightingale温暖的中音与蔡琴颇有些相似，舒缓的演唱娓娓道来，容易引起听者的共鸣，加上上口的旋律，使之成为一首百听不厌的好歌。

歌词：

I should have known all along
there was something wrong
I just never read between the lines
Then I woke up one day
and found you on your way
Leaving nothing but my heart behind
What can I do to make it up to you
Promises don't come easy
But tell me if there's a way
to bring you back home to stay
Well I'd promises anything to you
I've been walkin' around
with my head hanging down
Wondrin' what I'm gonna do
Cause when you walked out that door
I knew I needed you more
Than to take a chance on losing you
What can I do to make it up to you
Promises don't come easy
You know I've made up my mind
to make it work this time
That's the promise that I give to you
You never thought I loved you
I guess you never thought I cared
I was just too proud to say it out loud
Now I know
to let my feelings go (so tell me)
What can I do to make it up to you
Promises don't come easy
You know I've made up my mind
to make it work this time
That's the promise I can give to you
What can I do to make it up to you

电脑天才

跑龙套的

的确，这世界上是没有简单的承诺～
想来这首歌第一次听见是在《创世纪》上听到的，当时就很喜欢，可惜不知道是什么歌，一直在寻找....终于在2000年偶然一次在南京街头一家音像店里让我听到，想都没想就买下了那张碟～记忆犹新～
