我的故事。。。與你分享日子背後 或甜或酸或苦或辣或甚麼味道都沒有的點點滴滴 |
一直以來我自己公開承認瘋狂過Boys Band只有Boyzone和Westlife; 兩個都是來自愛爾蘭的俊男美聲隊伍!(Take That不算,因為我只是喜歡Gary Barlow而已啦!)
今天要分享的是最近捲土重來的Boyzone的新歌’Stronger‘。
這是一張為了紀念去年年底逝世的Boyzone成員Stephen Gately的專輯噢!裡面只有兩首歌是有Stephen參與,其他的都是在他去世後才開始錄音的!之前在電視裡看了Boyzone的音樂特輯,指明是為了紀念已故的Stephen,影片裡有提到這張專輯曾一度’胎死腹中‘,因為錄音剛開始不久,Stephen就離開了。當然幾經波折後,新專輯還是面市了!
相較與其他的舊專輯,我個人認為這次的Boyzone真的比較成熟,也比較感覺上不只是Ronan Keanting一個人在唱而已。:P 看了那個音樂特輯後,開始有些感動的是當中留在人世的4個成員,如何從Stephen的離去所帶來的悲戚化為力量,還有經過這麼多年以來分飛之後還難得留下來的感情!尤其是Ronan。因為感覺上是他一個人很用心良苦在默默的製作和錄音。在拍攝花絮裡有看到他激勵其他成員(Mikey,Keith還有Shane)如何唱主音的部份,還和他們分享他自己10多年來所累積的歌唱技巧和經驗。花絮當中也看到Keith和Shane如何戰戰兢兢的拋開合音工作唱起主音的部份。Mikey之前有出過自己的個人專輯,雖然不是很紅但至少還有些個人經驗。相反的Ronan其實算是Boyzone裡年紀最輕的一個。不過,他卻是隊裡歌唱的最好而且也是在個人歌唱業績裡最有作為的成員!(OK OK,讀到這裡你多少也應該知道我是偏心特別喜歡Ronan吧!? )不過偏心歸偏心,說到能夠拋開私心放底自己的位子把演唱主音的機會分別輪流讓給其他三個成員的精神,還是真的要佩服Ronan Keating的!連唱片的名字也叫’Brother‘,哥兒們之間的情義也不必多說了!
好吧!聽歌吧!
STRONGER
Running out of options…
Running out of time…
Running out of easy ways of things to say
Nothing left but goodbye
Baby please forgive me
If I act so surprised
I thought that we were stronger than that
I thought that we were stronger than that
I though that we would fight it a little harder than we did
To find a way to just keep hanging on
I can’t believe it’s gone
[Stephen]
I got to learn to take it
I got to learn to breathe
Right now I’m feeling faithless in graceless arms
But I got to learn to believe
That it happen for a reason
But it’s just too hard to see
I thought that we were stronger than that [2x]
I thought that we would fight it a little harder than we did
Oh~
How do we get from there to nowhere [2x]
How can you just stop and say you don’t care [2x]
When I know you used to do
How come those just come so easy
After all that we’ve been through
I thought we were stronger than that [2x]
I thought we would fight it a little harder than we did
To find a way to just keep hanging on
Oh~
Running out of options…
Running out of time…
喔!差點忘了。。。這裡有我之前在You Tube裡找到的短片。是當天晚上我在電視裡看到Boyzone音樂特輯里的其中一個現場演出片段。那可是我這麼久以來,第一次目睹2支我最喜歡的boys band一起同台演唱。看的時候感動到差點哭了起來! No Matter What, Boyzone+Westlife!永遠支持你們喔!
