相信看過電影「羅蜜歐與茱麗葉」,除了對男主角李奧納多印象深刻外,另外就是對
Lovefool這首甜膩情歌特別有感覺吧!?從這首歌,我認識了The Cardigans(羊毛杉),一個來自北歐瑞典的band,我從此迷上了女主唱
Nina Persson小女孩般既嗲又甜美的嗓音。(=_=" )b
A Camp,是Nina 2001年發行的單飛作品,同時,自己也化名為A Camp,發行同名專輯。為什麼要介紹?因為我覺得這張專輯裡的「I can buy you」,實在是太好聽了。一首典型的清新簡單醉心情歌。淡淡地,加上曲調有點鄉村民謠風,然後又加上Nina渾然天成的甜美嗓音,聽起來耳朵很是舒服。
這張作品,有別於The Cardigans時期,主要是以她個人的觀點,去觀察這世界的種種,所得的感想寫下的詞曲作品。例如:「I can buy you」,探討在以金錢衡量的世界中,真情難求。
A life of sanity and dignity
You know it takes two
And what's the use in being a milioner
If i can't have you
I wanna buy you a home
I'll pay your friends if you're feeling alone
The pain of losing a guy like you
Is a bigger cost in pain ...
I can buy you, oh yeah - oh yeah
But i can't make do what she don't
And i can hire you, oh yeah - oh yeah
But i can't make you love me
I can't make you
其他歌曲,有的延續北歐冷冽基調,有的遊走民謠風,如:「FREQUENT FLYER」,給人清新、簡約、怡然自得的輕鬆感。「Elephant」,也是寫自己對愛情的看法...也是首不錯聽的慢版情歌。
