Daughtry 尚未結束

尚未結束,Daughtry不會停卸的,他的音樂之途還等著他去走完,他的遠大夢想還等著他去實現
在感情上,急切的想看著對方的改變,等待著對方的歸來,但有一天,發覺自己等到疲倦了,對自己說 想要結束了,就在這時在遠方出現了他,喘著氣,像是從萬里飛奔回來,為的是想見到她,慢慢地走在她身邊,頭微微向前傾,嘴靠在她的耳邊,從他磁性的嗓子,小聲說著 「It:'s not over」 是多麼令人感動的事阿!

是的 這次就是要介紹 ,感情上無終止符的一首歌 

It's not over



I was blown away.
What could I say?
It all seemed to make sense.
You've taken away everything,
And I can't deal with that.
I try to see the good in life,
But good things in life are hard to find.
We'll blow it away, blow it away.
Can we make this something good?
Well, I'll try to do it right this time around.

Let's start over.
I'll try to do it right this time around.
It's not over.
'Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground.
This love is killing me,
But you're the only one.
It's not over.

Taken all I could take,
And I cannot wait.
We're wasting too much time
Being strong, holding on.
Can't let it bring us down.
My life with you means everything,
So I won't give up that easily.
I'll blow it away, blow it away.
Can we make this something good?
'Cause it's all misunderstood.
Well, I'll try to do it right this time around.

Let's start over.
I'll try to do it right this time around.
It's not over.
'Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground.
This love is killing me,
But you're the only one.
It's not over.

We can't let this get away.
Let it out, let it out.
Don't get caught up in yourself.
Let it out.

Let's start over.
I'll try to do it right this time around.
It's not over.
'Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground.
This love is killing me,
But you're the only one.
It's not over.

Let's start over.
It's not over, yeah...
This love is killing me,
But you're the only one.
it's not over

Daughtry 辛勞疲憊後的歸家

在追求夢想的遙途中,不免會想念自己的家鄉,家人的擁抱與溫暖,真想悠閒躺在沙發上,看著期待已久的影集,真想在餐桌上,與家人共食晚餐,這些期望是多麼令人享受,家人也一定很願意陪伴你,陪你一同享受辛勞疲憊後的相處。

而在這為你們介紹,也是Daughtry的首度同名專輯中的「Home」,寄寓的也是我們這些在外奔波的人們,再多麼勞累,再多麼疲憊,都不妨歸家,與家人們相處,與他們玩樂,也和他們分享這旅途中所發生的事,這般休息是多令人嚮往阿!

現在就來聽聽Daughtry 辛勞疲憊後的歸家

Home


I'm staring out into the night,
Trying to hide the pain.
I'm going to the place where love
And feeling good don't ever cost a thing.
And the pain you feel's a different kind of pain.

Well I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old,
So I'm going home.
Well I'm going home.

The miles are getting longer, it seems,
The closer I get to you.
I've not always been the best man or friend for you.
But your love, it makes true.
And I don't know why.
You always seem to give me another try.

So I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old,

Be careful what you wish for,
'Cause you just might get it all.
You just might get it all,
And then some you don't want.
Be careful what you wish for,
'Cause you just might get it all.
You just might get it all, yeah.

Oh, well I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old.
I said these places and these faces are getting old,
So I'm going home.
I'm going home.


Daughtry 不容忽視的旋律

Daughtry 佔了我生活的一大部分,不論在哪裡,拿起耳機,就是聽著他的音樂,而他在我的生活是不容忽視的!而這次要介紹的就是他,首次的同名專輯 :


 


Daughtry

專輯介紹

・第五屆美國偶像選秀比賽第四名、人氣最高光頭搖滾型男Chris Daughtry自組樂團首張專輯
・專輯發行後聲勢猛烈回升冠軍,寫下美國偶像系列史上首位非冠亞軍歌手奪冠最暢銷紀錄!再創全美新進搖滾藝人銷售新紀錄!
・收錄全美單曲榜Top 4火熱話題電視影集《Prison Break》主題曲「It’s Not Over」及搖滾名團「槍與玫瑰」吉他手Slash助陣單曲「What I Want」



酷帥光頭的造型、粗獷迷人的嗓音,個性男歌手Chris Daughtry雖然成名於「American Idol/美國偶像」選秀比賽,卻充滿著無比充沛的搖滾熱力,與其說是想成為美國偶像,倒不如說他更適合成為搖滾巨星。Chris雖未打入總決賽前三強,卻是第一位以樂團方式出道的美國偶像參賽者,並成為第五季前十二強中首位奪下冠軍寶座的參賽者,同時寫下美國偶像系列史上第一位非冠亞軍歌手拿下No.1的風光佳績,再創全美新進搖滾藝人銷售新紀錄!

來自北卡羅萊納州的Chris從未接受過歌唱訓練,直到高中時期受到搖滾樂影響才踏入音樂領域。已為人父的Chris在2005年參與搖滾樂團INXS主唱選秀會不幸落敗,隔年決定參加「美國偶像」歌唱選秀比賽,希望藉此讓更多人了解他的歌唱才華。特色十足的有型外貌與爆發度滿分的演唱實力,讓Chris一路過關斬將打進決賽前十二強,並擁有極高人氣支持。比賽尚未結束,Chris便找來Jeremy Brady與Josh Steely(吉他)、曾入籍美國硬蕊龐克/金屬大團Suicidal Tendencies的Josh Paul(貝斯)及Joey Barnes(鼓手)等成員共組Daughtry樂團,期盼展現創作身兼樂器演奏的全方位才情。

首張同名專輯《Daughtry》於2006年底甫發行,便以三十餘萬張銷售量空降亞軍,並持續發燒熱賣,九週後更強勢回升全美流行專輯榜冠軍寶座,累計銷售衝破百萬大關。首支單曲〈It’s Not Over〉搭配美國話題電視影集「Prison Break」主題曲,已衝上流行單曲榜Top 4+熱門數位歌曲榜亞軍+成人抒情榜Top 8,散發如Creed樂團般Post-Grunge的響音力道與曲式;以吉他播奏拉開序幕的〈Over You〉成為樂迷票選第二波主攻,Chris的高亢聲調仍架構在中版動聽抒情搖滾旋律中,不時緊扣聆聽者的雙耳;〈What I Want〉有著火力全開的激爆高能量搖滾酵素,以重擊鼓聲的陣陣敲擊,包裹由搖滾名團「槍與玫瑰」吉他狂人Slash助陣的吉他猛飆Solo;急迫的重搖滾音浪再次於〈There And Back Again〉中出現,挑起喧囂鼓譟氣氛,並展現Chris感染力強烈的歌喉;〈Feels Like Tonight〉、〈All These Lives〉、〈What About Now〉…則是專輯中令人動容的出色小品。

他首度的專輯,如此成熟而純厚,而他的這張專輯裡,有一首叫做「over you」,不在乎你,他那深深地打動了我的旋律,正是我的情感抒發,生活中不少會有預知的結果,而對這預知結果的反應是逃避,而始終也難逃於這個命運,最後只能接受,這無奈在這首歌大大的闡述了一番。
我們就來聽 Daughtry的 
Over You


Now that it's all said and done,
I can't believe you were the one
To build me up and tear me down,
Like an old abandoned house.
What you said when you left
Just left me cold and out of breath.
I fell too far, was in way too deep.
Guess I let you get the best of me.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I'm slowly getting closure.
I guess it's really over.
I'm finally getting better.
And now I'm picking up the pieces.
I'm spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.

You took a hammer to these walls,
Dragged the memories down the hall,
Packed your bags and walked away.
There was nothing I could say.
And when you slammed the front door shut,
A lot of others opened up,
So did my eyes so I could see
That you never were the best for me.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I'm slowly getting closure.
I guess it's really over.
I'm finally getting better.
And now I'm picking up the pieces.
I'm spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I'm slowly getting closure.
I guess it's really over.
I'm finally getting better.
And now I'm picking up the pieces.
I'm spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
Well I'm putting my heart back together,
'Cause I got over you.
Well I got over you.
I got over you.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through.
I got over you.

Daughtry - Start of Something Good



You never know when you're gonna meet someone
And your whole wide world in a moment comes undone
You're just walking around then suddenly
Everything that you thought that you knew about love is gone
You find out it's all been wrong

All my scars don't seem to matter anymore
Cause they led me here to you

I know it's gonna take some time
But I've got to admit that the thought has crossed my mind
This might end up like it should
I'm gonna say what I need to say
And hope to God that it don't scare you away
Don't wanna be misunderstood
But I'm starting to believe that
This could be the start of something good

Everyone knows life has its ups and downs
One day you're on top of world and one day you're the clown
Well I've been both enough to know
That you don't wanna get in the way when it's working out
The way that it is right now

You see my heart I wear it on my sleeve
Cause I just can't hide it anymore

I know it's gonna take some time
But I've got to admit that the thought has crossed my mind
This might end up like it should
I'm gonna say what i need to say
And hope to God that it don't scare you away
Don't wanna be misunderstood
But I'm starting to believe that
This could be the start 

Cause I don't know where it's goin'
There's a part of me that loves not knowin'
Just don't let it end before we begin

You never know when you're gonna meet someone
And your whole wide world in a moment comes undone


I know it's gonna take some time
But I've got to admit that the thought has crossed my mind
This might end up like it should
I'm gonna say what i need to say
And hope to God that it don't scare you away
Don't wanna be misunderstood
But I'm starting to believe that
This could be the start of something good

就算受了傷也會再度爬起來,就算痛苦,也會以樂觀的態度面對挫折,享受他的人生!

若各位也遇到了些挫折,不妨聽聽這首,它所能提醒你的,就是盡情的享受自己的人生,不被命運給擊倒了,樂觀以對吧!

這專輯中有我最愛的一首,也是我踏入Daughtry領域所聆聽的第一首歌
名叫 No Surprise 




歌詞:

I've practiced this for hours, gone round and round
And now I think that I've got it all down
And as I say it louder I love how it sounds
Cause I'm not taking the easy way out
Not wrapping this in ribbons
Shouldn't have to give a reason why...


It's NO SURPRISE I won't be here tomorrow
I can't believe that I stayed till today
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we'll find this was NO SURPRISE


It came out like a river once I let it out
When I thought that I wouldn't know how
Held onto it forever just pushing it down
Felt so good to let go of it now
Not wrapping this in ribbons
Shouldn't have to give a reason why


It's NO SURPRISE I won't be here tomorrow
I can't believe that I stayed till today
There's nothing here in this heart left to borrow
There's nothing here in this soul left to say
Don't be surprised when we hate this tomorrow
God know we tried to find an easier way
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we'll find this was NO SURPRISE


Our favorite place we used to go
The warm embrace that no one knows
The loving look that's left your eyes
That's why this comes as no, as NO SURPRISE


If I could see the future and how this plays out
I bet it's better than where we are now
But after going through this, it's easier to see the reason why


It's NO SURPRISE I won't be here tomorrow
I can't believe that I stayed till today
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we'll find this was NO SURPRISE


Our favorite place we used to go
The warm embrace that no one knows
The loving look that's left your eyes
But I know in time we'll find this was NO SURPRISE



Daughtry是否有唱入你疲憊痕跡下的心靈 :)? 老實說 我第一次聽到這首歌時,眼眶不知覺得被激紅了,或許他的歌聲打動我的心,或許他的歌詞應對了我生活所發生的事,總之這首歌真的很好聽XD

後續還會繼續介紹這專輯裡頭 好聽的歌喔:D
