声线兼备蓝调、民谣、爵士味道的Katie Melua，常被乐评拿来与诺拉琼丝相提并论。但她那相较甜美清澈的年轻嗓音，让人遥想起已逝的跨界流行爵士美声Eva Cassidy。而在被Mike Batt发掘的那天，Katie所演唱的正好就是受Eva启发而学下的创作曲“Faraway Voice”。此外，她也自承在音乐方面受到Queen、Joni Mitchell、Bob Dylan和印度音乐及爱尔兰民谣等多类乐风的影响。 Katie Melua广获好评的首张专辑”Call Of The Search”一举挤下英伦人气天后Dido/蒂朵、击退Norah Jones，荣获6周英国金榜后座，成为英国2004开春迄今最畅销专辑。 when you taught me how to dance
years ago, with misty eyes,
every step and silent glance,
every move, a sweet surprise.
someone must have taught you well,
to beguile and to entrance,
for that night you cast your spell,
and you taught me how to dance.
like reflections in a lake
i recall what went before.
as i give, i’ll learn to take,
and will be alone no more
other lights may light my way
i may even find romance;
but i won’t forget that night
when you taught me how to dance
cold winds blow,
but up on those hills
you’ll find me
and i know you’re walking right behind me,
when you taught me how to dance
years ago, with misty eyes,
every step and silent glance,
every move, a sweet surprise.
someone must have taught you well,
to beguile and to entrance,
for that night you cast your spell,
and you taught me how to dance.
and you taught me how to dance. |
