七十年代走红的卡朋特兄妹，以一曲经典的《yesterday once more》（《昨日重现》）征服了全世界，轻柔的旋律和凯伦那干净温暖、纯净精确的嗓音，让你在静默中轻轻展开自己的心，静静地倾听。
她的另一首经典之作--《Top of the world》（《世界之颠》）是一首轻快的民谣，听起来让人很放松很舒服！
TOP OF THE WORLD
Words & Music by Richard Carpenter and John Bettis
词曲：理查德.卡朋特/约翰.贝迪斯

Such a feelin's comin' over me 这样的感觉向我袭来
There is wonder in most everything I see 在我所见的一切中隐藏着奇迹
Not a cloud in the sky 在我眼中
Got the sun in my eyes 天空无云阳光闪耀
And I won't be surprised if it's a dream 如果这是梦我不会惊奇

Everything I want the world to be 我想要这世界变成的一切
Is now coming true especially for me 正在为我而特别成为现实
And the reason is clear 理由很清楚
It's because you are here 因为有你在这里
You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen 你是我所见过离天堂最近的事物

I'm on the top of the world lookin' 我在世界之巅俯瞰众生
down on creation
And the only explanation I can find 我能找到的唯一解释
Is the love that I've found 是你在我身边的时候
ever since you've been around 我发现的那份爱
Your love's put me at the top of the world 你的爱放我在世界之巅

Something in the wind has learned my name 风中有东西知道了我的名字
And it's tellin' me that things are not the same 它在告诉我事情不再一样
In the leaves on the trees 在枝头落叶
and the touch of the breeze 和微熙和风中
There's a pleasin' sense of happiness for me 我感觉到一种幸福

There is only one wish on my mind 我心中只有一个愿望
When this day is through I hope that I will find 当今天过后，我希望我能发现
That tomorrow will be 明天对于你我仍然相同
just the same for you and me
All I need will be mine if you are here 如果有你在此，我会心想事成

I'm on the top of the world lookin' 我在世界之巅俯瞰众生
down on creation
And the only explanation I can find 我能找到的唯一解释
Is the love that I've found 是你在我身边的时候
ever since you've been around 我发现的那份爱
Your love's put me at the top of the world 你的爱放我在世界之巅

Dan Fogelberg非常民谣《Sutter's Mill-萨特的磨坊》

1951年8月13日生于美国伊利诺州Peoria的Dan Fogelberg，是美国歌坛最富浪漫气质的诗人歌手。他的作品具有明朗和谐的旋律及温柔缠绵的歌词，使得Fogelberg的歌具备了一切使人喜爱的条件。

Dan Fogelberg的风格横跨了乡村、民谣和摇滚。但这首（Sutter's Mill）无论从体裁（叙事类）、配器（口琴、班卓、吉他、dobro、fiddle等）节奏和旋律上都是一首乡村风格十足的歌曲，关于歌中的故事有兴趣的朋友可以参考美国历史中对加州淘金热的叙述。

Sutter's Mill

in the spring of forty-seven,
so the story, it is told,
old john sutter went to the mill site
found a piece of shining gold.
well, he took it to the city
where the word, like wildfire, spread.
and old john sutter soon came to wish he'd
left that stone in the river bed.
for they came like herds of locusts
every woman, child and man
in their lumbering conestogas
they left their tracks upon the land
(chorus)
some would fail and some would prosper
some would die and some would kill
some would thank the lord for their deliverance
and some would curse john sutter's mill.
well, they came from new york city,
and they came from alabam'
with their dreams of finding fortunes
in this wild unsettled land.
well, some fell prey to hostile arrows
as they tried to cross the plains.
and some were lost in the rocky mountains
with their hands froze to the reins.
oh...
(chorus)
well, some pushed on to california
and others stopped to take their rest.
and by the spring of eighteen-sixty
they had opened up the west.
and then the railroad came behind them
and the land was plowed and tamed,
when old john sutter went to meet his maker,
he'd not one penny to his name.
oh...
(chorus)
and some would curse john sutter's mill
some men's thirsts are never filled

萨特的磨坊

故事的发生
要从1847年的春天说起
老约翰.萨特在磨坊外
拾到一块金子

于是带着它去了城里
在那里关于金矿的消息
如野火蔓延开来
萨特很快就后悔
该把那块石头留在河床上

人们集聚如蝗
男人、女人和孩子们
在大篷车笨重的前行中
将车辙留在原野上

有人无功而返
有人心遂所愿
有人长眠异乡
有人图财害命
有人将感激上帝解脱了他们
有人会诅咒约翰萨特的磨房

他们有的来自纽约城
有的来自阿拉巴马州
带着他们的发财梦
来到这荒蛮的土地上
一些人在穿越平原时
命丧箭下
一些人失踪在洛基山脉
冻饿而亡

有人无功而返
有人心遂所愿
有人长眠异乡
有人图财害命
有人将感激上帝解脱了他们
有人会诅咒约翰萨特的磨房

一些人执著前行去往加州
一些人驻足不往休养生息
1860年时他们开发了西部
铁路随后而至
荒原终被开发和征服
当约翰萨特离开人世
自己却一文不名

有人无功而返
有人心遂所愿
有人长眠异乡
有人图财害命
有人将感激上帝解脱了他们
有人会诅咒约翰萨特的磨房

有人会诅咒约翰萨特的磨房
有人的欲望却永远无法满足

Collin Raye---Love me

I read a note my grandma wrote back in 1923
Grandpa kept it in his coat and he showed it once to me
He said," Boy you might not understand, but a long long time ago
Grandma"s daddy din like me noone, but I loved your grandma so
We had this crazy plan to meet, and run away together
Get married in the first towm we come to and live forever
But nailed to the tree where we supposed to meet instead
i found this letter and this is what it said

If you get ther before I do, don"t give up on me
I"ll meet you when my chores all through, I don"t know how long I"ll be
But i"m not gonna let you down, Darling wait and see
But between now and then till I see you again
I"ll be loving you..love me

I read those words just hours before my grandma passed aways
In the doorway of a church where me and grandpa stopped to ray
I know I never seen him cry in all my fifteen years
But as he said those words to her
His eyes filled up with tears

If you get ther before I do, don"t give up on me
I"ll meet you when my chores all through, I don"t know how long I"ll be
But i"m not gonna let you down, Darling wait and see
But between now and then till I see you again
I"ll be loving you..love me

And between now and then till I see you again
I"ll be loving you... love me

我读到奶奶留下的一张字条
写在遥远的一九二三年
爷爷将它深藏衣间
连我也只看过一遍
他说：孩子，你也许不会理解
但是在很久，很久以前
尽管她父亲对我有意见
我仍然深深将你奶奶爱恋

我们疯狂计划一起离开
并在最先到达的城镇永远相伴
但是当我来到约定的树下
我只看到这字条钉在上面

如果你先于我到达那里
请不要对我放弃
我将把一切处理后到来
尽管我还不知何时何刻

但是亲爱的请你相信
我不会让你失望
我终将与你相见
不论是何时何刻
我将永远爱着你，爱你的，我

在奶奶离去的几小时前
我看到这张小小字条
在教堂的门廊前，
爷爷和我停下祷告

十五年来我从没见过爷爷流泪
当爷爷念出心中誓言
他的眼中却溢满眼泪

如果你先于我到达那里
请不要对我放弃
我将把一切处理后到来
尽管我还不知何时何刻
但是亲爱的请你相信
我不会让你失望
我终将与你相见
不论是何时何刻
我将永远爱着你，爱你的，我
我终将与你相见
不论是何时何刻
我将永远爱着你，爱你的，我
