Richard Marx : Ready to fly !

这首歌是2004年8月Richard Marx再度回到幕前推出的最新大碟My Own Best Enemy中的主打单曲Ready to fly，这同时也是他自97年专辑Flesh & Bone后，重回百代音乐集团怀抱的主打作。全新派的曲风是乐迷所喜欢的Richard Marx一贯拿手慢版作品，歌曲发人深省细腻动人，弦乐部分更由诺拉琼斯监制编写，气势磅礡，给人一种振翅高飞的感觉，是一首非常好的励志歌曲。

I've been trying to open the door
To the secret of my destiny
And every new road I think is the one
Seems to lead right back to me

I've looked for a way to be wiser
A way to be strong
Now I see the answer was hiding
In me all along

And I'm ready to fly
Over the sun
Like a rocket to heaven
And I'm ready to soar
Right through the sky
Never dreamed I'd find something to lift me so high
I've always had wings
But I wasn't ready to fly

Restless, hopeless, and misunderstood
Like so many others I know
So busy tryin' to keep holdin' on
When I should've been letting go

I was given the gift to find it
The spirit inside me
But I never really imagined
All I could be

And I'm ready to fly
Over the sun
Like a rocket to heaven
And I'm ready to soar
Right through the sky
Never dreamed I'd find something to lift me so high
I've always had wings
But I wasn't ready to fly

The answer to all of my wonder
Was right in my hands
Now it's time for me to discover
All that I am

And I'm ready to fly
Over the sun
Like a rocket to heaven
And I'm ready to soar
Right through the sky
Never dreamed I'd find something to lift me so high
I've always had wings
But I wasn't ready to fly

I've always had wings
Now I'm finally ready to fly

Bad day 歌词:

Where is the moment we needed the most You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost They tell me your blue skies fade to grey They tell me your passion's gone away And I don't need no carryin' on You stand in the line just to hit a new low You're faking a smile with the coffee to go You tell me your life's been way off line You're falling to pieces everytime And I don't need no carryin' on Cause you had a bad day You're taking one down You sing a sad song just to turn it around You say you don't know You tell me don't lie You work at a smile and you go for a ride You had a bad day The camera don't lie You're coming back down and you really don't mind You had a bad day You had a bad day Well you need a blue sky holiday The point is they laugh at what you say And I don't need no carryin' on You had a bad day You're taking one down You sing a sad song just to turn it around You say you don't know You tell me don't lie You work at a smile and you go for a ride You had a bad day The camera don't lie You're coming back down and you really don't mind You had a bad day(Oh.. Holiday..) Sometimes the system goes on the blink And the whole thing turns out wrong You might not make it back and you know That you could be well oh that strong And I'm not wrong So where is the passion when you need it the most Oh you and I You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost Cause you had a bad day You're taking one down You sing a sad song just to turn it around You say you don't know You tell me don't lie You work at a smile and you go for a ride You had a bad day You've seen what you like And how does it feel for one more time You had a bad day You had a bad day Had a bad day Had a bad day

When you say nothing at all

Ronan Keating - -

It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart Without saying a word you can light up the dark Try as I may I can never explain What I hear when you don't say a thing The smile on your face lets me know that you need me There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me The touch of your hand says you'll catch me wherever I fall You say it best, when you say nothing at all All day long I can hear people talking out loud But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd Try as they may they can never define What's been said between your heart and mine The smile on your face lets me know that you need me There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me The touch of your hand says you'll catch me wherever I fall You say it best, when you say nothing at all

音乐之子 Ronan Keating

出身自风靡全球的偶像团体Boyzone的Ronan Patrick John Keating（罗南）拥有许多辉煌的成就与头衔：歌手、词曲创作者、Boyzone的领袖、父亲、丈夫、当红偶像团体Westlife经纪人（Ronan为了专心投入个人单飞的演艺工作，甫於曰前辞去这个工作）。而他，才不过23岁而已！Ronan在1977年3月3曰出生於都柏林，成长於一个平凡而温馨的家庭。小时候Ronan就展现出极佳的音乐天赋，开始演奏与创作。少年时期的他在週末假曰时也做过各式各样的工作，包括在鞋店打工以及在母亲的理髮厅扫地等。

1993年的一次试演会是Ronan生命中最大的转捩点。当Take That红遍英伦之际，5个来自都柏林且志趣相同的年轻人从一项被称为是『Ireland's answer to Take That』的试演会中击败眾多参赛者脱颖而出，由Ronan以及其他四个一样青涩紧张的新朋友－Stephen、Keith、Micky、Shane组成了史上最成功的男孩偶像团体Boyzone。Boyzone成军6年多来一共缔造了16首排行榜前三名的单曲，其中6首勇夺排行冠军，而4张畅销的冠军专辑全球销售量更超过了一千两百万张。毫无疑问的，Boyzone是爱尔兰最成功的流行乐团，而他们的优异成绩也为后来同样出身自爱尔兰的后生晚辈如Westlife、The Corrs、B*Witched踏入流行乐界铺好了一条康庄大道。

从出道以来Ronan已经荣获无数的奖项加冕与讚赏，包括多次Smash Hit Awards颁发的『最受欢迎男艺人』以及MTV音乐奖的『最佳流行乐团』，Picture Of You一曲也让他继George Michael与Elton John之后获得Ivor Novello Award的殊荣。1999年的夏天Ronan发行了首支个人单曲 When You Say Nothing At All，收录在荣获2000年全英音乐奖最佳电影原声带『Notting Hill（新娘百分百）』之中。而这支单曲也不负眾望荣登单曲冠军宝座，维持了Boyzone辉煌的排行传统。同时该曲也是1999年最受欢迎的情歌之一，销售超过50万张。

2000一月Ronan飞到美国洛杉磯进行首张个人专辑的创作和录製工作，Ronan的名声与优异的音乐才华使他有机会和许多世界顶尖的词曲创作者与製作人合作，从Steve Lipson、Pat Leonard、 Barry Gibb到抒情摇滚王子Bryan Adams和Gregg Alexander，并在充满夏曰风情的季节推出首张同名专辑。Ronan形容这张专辑融合了流行、摇滚以及传统音乐。专辑中的音乐类型丰富，包括有流行味十足的主打歌曲Life Is A Rollercoaster；带有摇滚风味的If You Love Me；布莱恩亚当斯和Phil Thornalley合作谱写的The Way You Make Me Feel以及加添爱尔兰音乐元素的Only For You。

不愿只靠昔曰Boyzone的荣耀桂冠庇荫，也不以发行一支新单曲、一张个人专辑而自满的Ronan将会进行一系列的宣传活动为新专辑造势，并在英国和爱尔兰展开第一次的个人巡迴演唱。Ronan的偶像魅力随着个人专辑的发行即将再度吸引全球歌迷的注意，而这只是一个开始。正如前面所说的，Ronan传奇故事中的全新章节正在撰写着！

Tamas Wells - - Valder Fields

Tamas Wells.water

Tamas Wells既是团名也是其中主唱的名字，这支来自澳洲墨尔本的indie-pop乐团最早成立于2000年初，当时只有Owen Gray (bass, harmonica)及Ben Castle(violin)两名成员，发行的第一张EP"Hello Jealousy"是张带点政治意味的民谣唱片，创作灵感来自当年的“第三世界国家债务解除运动”第二年鼓手Nathan Collins的加入带入了新的创作元素，而接下来紧密的巡回演出，也为Tamas Wells在当地乐界积累了不少人气。

02年3月和8月分别发行了两张广受好评的EP（"Cigarettes, a Tie and a Free Magazine"及"Stitch In Time"），Ben中途退出接着加入了Tamas和Anthony。知名制作人Tim Whitten（曾制作过Gersey, Art of Fighting, Gaslight Radio）在听过"Stitch in Time" 之后颇为欣赏，邀请他们来悉尼的Megaphon studios共同录制新唱片，04年第一张专辑"A Mark On The Pane"曾被评为当年最美的唱片之一。 尽管Tamas Wells十岁那年没能通过AMEB一级钢琴考试，却是从那时起真正喜爱上音乐，当被人提及他那“毫不做作的天使般的嗓音”时，他说那是一天喝八升水的成果。

我心永恒 Celine Dion

席琳·迪恩(Celine Dion) 这位25岁的法国血统的加拿大女歌星正以她那令人心旷神怡的美妙歌喉，直逼Barbra Steisand 的乐坛地位。

Celine Dion 很早就开始了她的演唱生涯，5岁时，她就能为全家人演唱法语歌曲。12岁时她出了第一张专辑，很快成了当地的音乐童星。她的整个童年，少年时期一直是在音乐的陪伴中渡过的，她以音乐为乐，把所有的快乐和梦想都寄托在音乐之中。年仅19岁她就已经拥有了7 张令人称道的法语歌曲专辑。在经纪人Reue Angelil的建议和策划下，Dion开始进军英语歌坛。聪明的Dion除了偶尔对英语与母语发音上的细小差别感到小小的困惑之外，并没有在一种完全陌生的语言面前失去天赋，当她用动人的歌喉将英语歌曲进行演唱时，同样让人倾倒。

93年Dion与Peabo Bryson在电影《Bea-uty And Beasts》（美女与野兽）中演唱的歌曲获得了葛莱美奖。94年在影片《西雅图的不眠之夜》中又与Clive Grittin 联袂合作了一曲《When I Fell in Love》(当我坠入爱河），这使她再度获得了多项殊荣。她的第一首单曲《The Power of Love》(爱之伟力）一经推出，立即成为Billboard 排行榜上的榜首歌曲，在新专辑《The Colour of My Love》（我爱的色彩）中，Celine Dion使乐迷们欣赏到了不借助现代电子技术合成而仅仅是天赋歌喉的美妙绝伦。正如名制作人David Foster预言的那样：Celine将是下一个超级名星。

DIDO:Life for rent

蒂朵（Dido）不是天使，虽然首张专辑《无天使No Angel》拥有灿烂的销售数字及辉煌的得奖记录，仔细想想，这些成绩根本及不上她的歌声和作品，带给全世界千万听众刹那的感动与深刻的回味。然而以新专辑《Life For Rent》的标题，蒂朵清楚的说明，她也只是一个会仿徨迷惘、感觉生命漂泊不定的平凡人。

距离她的首张专辑逾1999年6月发表至今已有四年的时间。其间她经历了默默无闻到处巡回，一年后因饶舌天王阿姆采用了蒂朵的“Thank You”一曲的六句，勾勒出了畅销作“Stan”的主干，蒂朵突然变得抢手而大红大紫，专辑随后于全世界发行，销售冲破1200万张，并马不停蹄的进行宣传及演唱，直到2002年5月才结束。之后，蒂朵好好地放松自己，踏上随意即兴的旅行生活，在世界不同的时区，为新专辑《Life For Rent/飘泊的心》的写作题材作准备。

蒂朵的私人生活虽因为走红，而时常出现于媒体标题中，但这丝毫减未少她成为“更好的歌者、创作者、表演者”的努力。《飘泊的心》专辑依然找来她最熟悉的哥哥Rollo及制作人Rick Nowels共同参与。民谣、摇滚、流行、舞曲甚至嘻哈节拍，再度相聚于蒂朵作品中。《飘泊的心》专辑如同前一张作品，有新鲜感却又丰富外，更多了份音乐上的自信及成熟。对于大家最好奇的专辑标题《Life For Rent》，Dido表示：“这代表了我目前对生活的看法和心境，以及我未来想过的生活。不要怕冒险尝试。人很容易安于稳定自满，和世界脱节。这张专辑是我时时刻刻对自己的提醒及警惕。”

在此辑所收录的11首歌曲中，不论是在那里还是在伦敦家中完成的创作，大部份都是以钢琴与吉他为主要创作架构。有些是与Rollo搭挡完成的，其它则是与曾协助《No Angel》专辑制作的Rick Nowels合作。新专辑中电子和弦乐的巧妙结合展现了蒂朵一贯的浪漫唯美风格，使得整体编曲更显精致和大气。同时，专辑制作群几乎为每一首歌曲都打造出一段引人如胜的电子序幕，充满了有如电影画面般的戏剧性效果。清新流畅的民谣曲风依然深得Dido的喜爱，不少曲目中有如灵光闪现的优美旋律让人着迷，原声吉他在编曲中依然颇具份量，为歌曲增添了不少轻盈温暖的亮色。Dido空灵缥缈的优美歌声依然是新专辑的一大亮点，经历四年的打磨后，Dido演练出个性鲜明的独特歌喉，既能缥缈唯美地展现出电子舞曲的迷幻时尚，又能以温暖亲和的特质中和电子音乐的冰冷质感，真假音转换等演唱技巧也愈见纯熟精练，演唱起来不愠不火，歌曲情感拿捏得恰到好处，不时流露着成熟女子的感性和妩媚，带给对她期盼已久的乐迷们不少惊喜。

首支单曲“White Flag/为爱投降”仿佛是“Here with Me”的续篇，但唱出的却是一段曾经论及婚嫁的浓烈恋情在缘尽后情未逝的无奈。标题曲 “Life for Rent”听似感伤，却也可视为蒂朵鞭策自己警惕的韧性。而“Mary’s in India”，让听者听到爱情中第三方的叙述。蒂朵擅长搭配音效交叠，将歌曲的画面描绘出，她口中的夏日舞曲“Sand in My Shoes”，便是最佳范例。沉浸在慵懒缱绻的Trip-hop氛围中，蒂朵低迷的嗓音为“Do you have a little time”带出另一番成熟魅惑的惊艳味道。又如安慰好友情伤的“See The Sun”末段渐渐fade out，果然让人有拨云见日云淡风清的效果。

蒂朵的歌声尽管依然飘渺，却远远地眷顾着你的喜怒哀乐及爱恨嗔痴，也就是她所谓的“生活小事”，但她对于生活细节及感情描述的功力更加精炼，亲密细腻间带有着细细的刺，随着她的娓娓道来，许多生活中已经麻痹的感动，却也渐渐苏醒。蒂朵依然是在你我身旁抚慰心灵的世间天使 .
