Jon McLaughlin-Promising Promises: 未兌現(xiàn)的承諾
滬江英樂:Jon McLaughlin,土生土長在美國Indiana的Anderson,童年時期就開始接受古典音樂的學(xué)習(xí),然而在高中時他卻對古典音樂失去了興趣,而一次意外的事故也讓他的兩只手腕受傷,不得不使他放棄以自己從小苦練的鋼琴為主要奮斗方向。此后他意識到,他可以將鋼琴與自己更喜歡的流行音樂合二為一。
這張名叫“Forever if ever”的專輯誕生于去年九月,在整個創(chuàng)作到錄制的過程,Jon不僅充當(dāng)詞曲作者,還擔(dān)當(dāng)了制作人一角,整張專輯充分展現(xiàn)了其干凈而不浮夸的特質(zhì)。"Promising Promises"表達(dá)了對太多未兌承諾的厭倦,快速跳動的琴鍵營造的劍拔弩張一觸即發(fā)的緊迫感,仿佛預(yù)示著曾經(jīng)的山盟海誓即將弦斷音絕。

歌詞:
I wake up cold and sweaty
is it morning already?
I hate the sun for setting on yesterday
when I wrote my feelings
on the walls and ceilings
like drugs I’m dealing and you just walked away
the trees all sway and swing
the wind and I are both singing...
I was giving you everything I had to give
wasn’t it enough?
all those promising promises were on your lips
but you wouldn’t give them up
so let me just say for the record
you can spare me the lecture
cause ever since I met you I’ve been lonely
your smile don’t hide you
I see the teeth that you lie through
do I need to remind you that I’m only...
hanging by a string
I close my eyes and spin...singing...
I was giving you everything I had to give
wasn’t it enough?
all those promising promises were on your lips
but you wouldn’t give them up
and I was giving you everything I had to give
wasn’t it enough?
all those promising promises were on your lips
truely you wouldn’t give them up
I was giving you everything I had to give
wasn’t it enough?
all those promising promises were on your lips
but you wouldn’t give them up
