the saltwater room
(以下综合于网络)来自美国明尼苏达州奥瓦通纳(Owatonna, Minnesota)的大学二年级生,Adam Young,于去年组建了Owl City乐队。他就是这支流行电子乐队的唯一成员,负责主音、合成器和编曲等工作。随之独立发行的首张专辑《Of June》,在2007年的夏天,为电音界吹来一股凉爽的清风。cindy喜欢的不仅是Adam Young甜蜜的声线,更迷上了他的吐词和发音,很独特~~
2008年3月18日,Owl City第二张专辑《Maybe I’m Dreaming》问世。梦幻的标题,简洁的封面,如同糖衣包裹的声线和旋律,在这个春暖花开的季节再次捎来令人欣喜的清新气息。曲风是Electronica和Pop的完美融合,似乎又有一点Indie Rock的味道。饶有趣味的歌词有如抒情诗一般的迷人魅力,又颇具美学的魔力。你会惊叹于冰冷的键盘上怎能滑落如此圆润的音符,电子元素的巧妙运用使得整张专辑饱满而不失利落,跃动着生机盎然的温情。Adam Young在他的MySpace上写到,由于失眠的缘故,大部分歌曲都是在凌晨的时候制作出来的。清晨的第一滴露水和青草的芳香,已无形地渗透到Owl City的音乐里,自然灵动的氛围贯穿其中。《The Saltwater Room》和《Air Traffic》后半段出现的女声好像奶油一样,甜甜的与曲子的整体气质都很搭。此外《Rainbow Veins》和《Dear Vienna》也都是重点推荐的曲目。
Adam Young的声音象少女倾诉心事一样温文细气,但对旋律节奏的掌握却十分到位.《Of June》这张EP就以欢快的电子旋律征服了不少听众,象宝石般闪烁明亮.而第二张专辑《Maybe I’m Dreaming》在演绎方面Owl City显然更加投入,从精致的和声到深情的合唱,Owl City的个人魅力也越加凸现.甜蜜的声线清新的电子音乐,这貌试简单的配搭却被Owl City演绎得绚丽多彩,尽管夏日未到但已仿佛感受到那份清爽的惬意! 专辑名称:Maybe I\'m Dreaming

I opened my eyes last night and saw you in the low light
昨天晚上我睁开眼睛看到你在昏暗的灯光下
Walking down by the bay, on the shore, 漫步在海湾,
staring up at the planes that aren’t there anymore
站在岸上,凝望着那些不再会在这里的飞机
I was feeling the night grow old and you were looking so cold
我感觉夜间突然长大,你看起来很冷,
Like an introvert性格内向
I drew my over shirt Around my arms 我穿着我的旧体恤
and began to shiver violently before
You happened to look and see the tunnels all around me
Running into the dark underground
冲向黑暗的地道
All the subways around create a great sound
身边的地铁发出很大的声音
To my motion fatigue: farewell
对我疲惫的身心说再见
With your ear to a seashell
You can hear the waves in underwater caves
你把耳朵对着贝壳,你能听到洞穴里海浪翻滚的声音
As if you actually were inside a saltwater room
就好象你真的在海底
Time together is just never quite enough
在一起的时间总觉得不够
When you and I are alone, I’ve never felt so at home
当我们在一起的时候,从没有这样家的感觉
What will it take to make or break this hint of love
什么能给点爱情的线索
We need time, only time 我们需要时间,只有时间
When we’re apart whatever are you thinking of.
当我们分开的时候,无论你在想什么
If this is what I call home, why does it feel so alone?
如果这是我所谓的家,为什么感觉这么孤单?
So tell me darling, do you wish we’d fall in love?
All the time, All the time...
告诉我,亲爱的,你希望和我相爱么?一直..永远..
Can you believe that the crew has gone
and wouldn’t let me sign on?
All my islands have sunk in the deep,
so I can hardly relax or even oversleep
我已深陷,所以难以放松甚至失眠
I feel as if I were home some nights
when we count all the ship lights
我感觉好象是在家数着船上的灯的那些夜晚
I guess I’ll never know why sparrows love the snow
我猜想我将永远不知道为什么麻雀喜欢雪
We’ll turn off all of the lights and set this ballroom aglow
我们将会关掉那些灯,让舞会火起来
