第二张专辑:《Say I Am You》(1)发行时间:2006年03月07日
地区:美国
语言:英语
专辑类型:Indie Folk/Pop
专辑介绍:2005年12月,The Weepies在此厂牌录制完成全新专辑“Say I Am You”,并于2006年3月正式发行。《Say I Am You》是The Weepies的第二张专辑,也是让他们被主流音乐市场接受的专辑。专辑在2006年2月曾经在8个国家的“iTunes下载次数最多的Folk专辑榜”上攀升到首位,而单曲"World Spins Madly On"也在美国的iTunes Folk歌曲榜上获得了冠军。在The Weepies所发行的三张专辑,这张获得的媒体评价最好。在这张专辑中,The Weepies继续了他们在首张专辑《Happiness》的精彩表现,他们简短、感伤、旋律优美的Folk-pop在《Say I Am You》里继续,而美妙的歌声、轻轻拨动的琴弦也没有消失。这张专辑的名字"Say I Am You"引自一位13世纪作家Jelaluddin Rumi的作品,这位作家以创作带有强烈信仰、热情爱意的诗歌著称,所以这张专辑的主题毫无疑问就是爱情。有些时候,爱情会隐藏起来或者丢失(比如在"World Spins Madly On"里),有时爱情也会是虚假的,但是最终一定会有一种爱情被发现被呵护。在专辑的大部分时候,The Weepies都在主持着一种对“爱情”主题的讨论,他们并没有想要让这个主题成为那些甜蜜迷人曲调的配饰。(来自百度百科)
第一首:Not Your YearScattered shadows on a wall, you watch the long light fall
Some impressions stay and some will fade
Tattered shoes outside your door, clothes all on the floor
Your life feels like the morning after all year long
Every day it starts again
You cannot say if you're happy
You keep trying to be
Try harder, maybe,maybe,this is not your year
This is not your year
Movies, TV screens reflect just what you expected
There's a world of shiny people somewhere else
Out there following their bliss
Living easy, getting kissed
While you wonder what else you're doing wrong
Every day it starts again
You cannot say if you're happy
You keep trying to be
Try harder, maybe,maybe,this is not your year
This is not your year
Breathe through it, write a list of desires
Make a toast, make a wish, slash some tires
Paint a heart repeating, beating "don't give up, don't give up, don't give up
Scattered shadows on a wall, you watch the long light fall
Some impressions stay and some will fade away
Every day it starts again
Someday you'll say you happy
Keep trying to be
Try harder, maybe,maybe,this is not your year
This is not your year
It's just not your year
This is not your year
This is not your year
第二首:Painting By ChagallThunder rumbles in the distance,a quiet intensity
雷电在远处轰响 一个静谧的瞬间
I am willful, your insistence is tugging at the best of me
我很固执(直到)你的坚持引导出我最完美的一面
You're the moon, I'm the water
你是月亮 我在水中
You're Mars, calling up Neptune's daughter
你是火星 呼唤着海王星的女儿Sometimes rain that's needed falls
有时那久被渴求的雨降下
We float like two lovers in a painting by Chagall
我们像一对恋人,飘浮在Chagall的画卷里
All around is sky and blue town
周围是蓝天和蓝色的城镇
Holding these flowers for a wedding gown
紧握着映衬结婚礼服的花束
We live so high above the ground, satellites surround us
我们生活在高空 周围有卫星环绕
I am humbled in this city
我只是城市中一个卑微的人
There seems to be an endless sea of people like us
那看上去有向我们一样的无尽的人海Wakeful dreamers,
唤醒做梦的人
I pass them on the sunlit streets
我在洒满阳光的道路和他们擦肩而过
In our rooms filled with laughter
在我们充满欢声笑语的房间
We make hope from every small disaster
我们从每个小麻烦中找到希望
Everybody says “you can't, you can't, you can't, don't try”
人们说“你不能 你不能 你不能 别试了
Still everybody says that
尽管人们那样说
if they had the chance they'd fly like we do
如果他们有机会他们也会像我们一样飞翔
歌词真的好棒啊ovo
