一队来自英伦岛国成军于80年代的夫妻组合
走的流行舞曲+轻爵士路线，“清幽中带着一份超然的音乐品质”
Icy Cold As Winter，乐队最好的歌曲之一（Forever Blue亦很喜欢）
出自乐队97年专辑《Shapes and Patterns》
The Moody Blues - A Winters Tale
“忧郁的布鲁斯”成军于上世纪60年代，艺术摇滚先驱
《摇滚音乐50年》说：“他们创造了交响摇滚（Symphonic rock），并为平克弗洛依德铺平了道路”
不同于乐队早期的古典摇滚，03年圣诞专辑《December》和谐、温暖
A Winters Tale亦出自其中
Led Zeppelin - The Battle Of Evermore
Cocteau Twins - Alice
U2- I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
Dolly Parton - Slow Dancing With The Moon
真正受人尊敬的音乐家一定是位故事大王
他们关注内心的世界，俯拾即生活
Dolly Parton即是这样一位音乐家
Slow Dancing With The Moon编曲有别于传统乡村音乐
更像一首童谣，乡村女皇的演唱“婉转忧郁，情深意挚”
让人喜欢非常
选自95年同名专辑
Vaselines - Jesus Wants Me For A Sunbeam
80年代夫妻档独立乐队，因Nirvana的推崇于后世颇具影响
The Vaselines的音乐“简洁，爽朗，黑色幽默”
原作JWMFAS编曲一气呵成，与Nirvana版本比较
似乎更加释然和具有生命力
选自乐队92年《The Way of the Vaselines: A Complete History》
Collective Soul - December
Post Grunge代表乐队，不同于早期的Grunge
Collective Soul音乐“干净”又不够凶猛
乐队标志性的riff编配尤其迷人
也有评论称其“过于温和，太过好听”，应是见仁见智
sailing cross the seas
pursuing sorry ships don't know they're sinking
holding on until all hope is gone
focusing my eyes on distant stars so far away they're blinking
on and off and on and off and on
but the bird in my hand is promising paradise
venture forth from cave
to conquer everything that's moving
pleasure never really lasting very long
roller coaster ride the lows the highs
feels like you're grooving
though it's on and off and on and off and on
and the bird in my hand is promising paradise
all the actors in your play will do their part
and go their way
or dance as long as you will pay
but she will never fly away
man behind the curtain
pulls the levers for the sheep
for me tonight there'll be no sleep until the dawn
neon sign from paradise hotel across the street
is blinking on and off and on and off and on
and the bird in my hand is promising paradise
Ronnie Laws - Every Generation
Ronnie Laws的萨克斯演奏“音色丰腴且性感，演奏技巧行云流水”
令其成为70年代以来，同时受R&B乐迷和夜总会DJ尊崇的JAZZ音乐家

Dreaming Lyrics
Dreaming.
It's not that easy anymore when you say
Dreaming
Did you close the opened door while
In there
We've never been so near the light
Without you.
I'm only half the man inside
See me
You're so much more to me than anyone.
Leaving.
Do you still believe to find by
Leaving
The light that you just left behind and drive
In there.
The sky is dark and full of clouds
Without you.
There's nothing left to kill the doubts
To be with you
Was to be found and now I'm lost again.
Is it wrong? Is it right?
It don't matter if we come home tonight
There's a light,
Let it in again.
Sorry.
I never meant to break your heart,
So sorry.
I didn't see the shining star right
In there
And now I'm lost in all those storms
Without you,
So afraid I miss your warmth.
Forgive me.
Don't let me fall and take me home again.
Is it wrong? Is it right?
It don't matter if we come home tonight
There's a light,
Let it in
Do begin.
Is it wrong? Is it right?
It don't matter if we come home tonight
There's a light,
Let it in again.
It's so easy.
We only have to go inside,
So easy.
Try to make it.
We'll see the light
'cause it's in there.
Is it wrong? Is it right?
It don't matter if we come home tonight
There's a light,
Let it in,
Do begin.
Is it wrong? Is it right?
It don't matter'cause we came home tonight
There's a light,
Let it in again.
Let it in.
The Connels84年组建于美国北卡来罗纳州
乐队以谱写演绎爱情、亲情的优美而清新摇滚歌谣见长
“风格清新，朗朗悦耳，甜美异常”
'74 '75，乐队最著名的传奇性单曲，出自93年专辑《The Ring》
'74 '75 Lyrics
Got no reason for coming to me and the rain running down.
There’s no reason.
And the same voice coming to me like it’s all slowin’ down.
And believe me --
Chorus:
I was the one who let you know
I was sorry-ever-after. ‘74-’75.
Giving me more and I’ll defy
‘Cause you’re really only after ‘74-’75.
It’s not easy, nothing to say ‘cause it’s already said.
It’s never easy.
When I look on your eyes then I find that I’ll do fine.
When I look on your eyes then I’ll do better.
来自加拿大温尼伯市的五人乐队Crash Test Dummies
音乐风格与同城前辈Neil Young曾经玩过的乡谣摇滚确有几分神似
然而C.T.D.的作品更多讲述的是短小精悍的民谣故事
“朴实无华，却又怪诞趣致，充满宗教寓意”
这首Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm便是其中代表
出自93年乐队第二张专辑《God Shuffled His Feet》

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm Lyrics
once there was this kid who
got into an accident and couldnt come to school
but when he finally came back
his hair had turned from black into bright white
he said that it was from when
the cars had smashed him so hard
mmm mmm mmm mmm
once there was this girl who
wouldnt go and change with the girls in the change room
but when they finally made her
they saw birthmarks all over her body
she couldnt quite explain it
theyd always just been there
mmm mmm mmm mmm
mmm mmm mmm mmm
but both the girl and boy were glad
cause one kid had it worse than that
cause then there was this boy whose
parents made him come directly home right after school
and when they went to their church
they shook and lurched all over the church floor
he couldnt quite explain
theyd always just gone there
mmm mmm mmm mmm
mmm mmm mmm mmm

Angel Eyes Lyrics
Last night I was taking a walk along the river
And I saw him together with a young girl
And the look that he gave made me shiver
'Cause he always used to look at me that way
And I thought maybe
I should walk right up to her and say
Ahhaha, it's a game he likes to play
Look into his angel eyes
One look and you're hypnotized
He'll take your heart
and you must pay the price
Look into his angel eyes
You'll think you're in paradise
And one day you'll find out
he wears a disguise
Don't look too deep
into those angel eyes
Oh no no no no
Sometimes when I'm lonely
I sit and think about him
And it hurts to remember all the good times
When I thought I could never live without him
And I wonder does it have to be the same
Every time when I see him,
will it bring back the pain?
Ahhaha, how can I forget that name?
Look into his angel eyes
One look and you're hypnotized
He'll take your heart
and you must pay the price
Look into his angel eyes
You'll think you're in paradise
And one day you'll find out
he wears a disguise
Don't look too deep into his angel eyes
Crazy 'bout his angel eyes
Angel eyes
Once he took my heart and now I pay the price
Look into his angel eyes
You'll think you're in paradise
And one day you'll find out
he wears a disguise
Don't look too deep into those angel eyes
Oh no no no no
Ahhaha, keep thinking, ahaaaah
Keep thinking 'bout his angel eyes
Ahhaha, keep thinking, ahaaaah
Keep thinking, I had to pay the price
Ahhaha, keep thinking, ahaaaah
Keep thinking 'bout his angel eyes
Ahhaha, keep thinking, ahaaaah
Keep thinking, I had to pay the price
Keep thinking, I had to pay the price
