 The Cardigans
来自瑞典,成军于92年底的The Cardigans（羊毛衫合唱团），94年签入Stockholm唱片旗下后,发行了《Emmerdale》专辑,被当地权威音乐杂志Slitz评选为“年度最佳专辑”,随后推出的《Life》、《First Band On The Moon》等专辑中, 陆续诞生了“Carnival”、“Rise & Shine”、“Lovefool”等排行金曲,最脍炙人口的莫过于入选李奥纳多狄卡皮欧主演《罗密欧+茱丽叶》电影主题曲的“Lovefool”了！这首轰动全球的单曲不仅获得英美点播冠军、英国金榜亚军,更让The Cardigans声势水涨船高,获邀至热门影集《飞越比佛利》客串演出、参加美国《大卫赖特曼秀》及英国《Top Of The Pops》等热门电视节目演出。
The Cardigans作品中一向拥有的清新悦耳旋律，散发简单自然的本质。女主唱Nina的歌声绽放在乐团整体的音乐表现中,呈现出一幅幅美妙的音乐风景，最喜欢女主唱干净纯粹的声音，有一种非常清爽的感觉
羊毛衫的音乐总是存在那么松松垮垮的节奏，缠缠绵绵的曲调，Nina Persson懒洋洋的演唱，靡靡乎使人如坠五里云雾。煞费苦心制作的音效、各种打击乐器和多变的演奏手法花哨却不俗气，令人感到那是有闲阶级的雅趣。就是这是一种带有jazz和pop影响的独特的风格，将The Cardigans与其它任何乐队区分开来，以致不明真相的听者或许会奇怪如此乐队从何而来，这倒正迎合了The Cardigans96年那张专辑心意──月球上的第一支乐队（First Band On The Moon）。

Please Sister
With the sampled heart beat and the stolen soul
I sold my songs to have my fortune told
And it said:
"You should know that love will never die,
Let's see how it kills you in the blink of an eye..."
I know of love as hot white light
That knocks you down and than leaves you dry
Oh, how can it be, sweet mamma tell me why?
Why all Love's disciples have to wither and die?
Please sister, help me, come on, do what you should,
Please give me something, I'm not doing so good!
I'm good, I'm wrong, is there nothing you can say?
Please sister help me, I'm not feeling OK...
Give me belief when my time will come
And a toll free helpline if I find some one.
But she said: "You give away what you never really had,
And now your purse is empty, I can see why you're sad..."
Oh, please sister, help me, come on, do what you should,
Please give me something, I'm not doing so good!
I'm good, I'm wrong, is there nothing you can say?
Please sister help me, can you make me feel OK?
So if it's true that love will never die,
Than why do the lovers work so hard to stay alive?
Please...
Oh, please sister, help me...
Please, give me something...
Oh... Please sister, you know I do what I can!
Oh, sweet mamma please just send me a man,
'Cause I'm gone, gone, is there nothing you can give?
Please sister, help me, I just need some love to live!
Just a little love to live...
And a little love to sail...
