If I had to live without you
Oh I need you in my arms, need you to hold
You are my world, my heart, my soul
If you ever leave
Baby you would take away
Everything good in my life
And tell me now
How do I live without you?
I want to know
How do I breathe without you?
If you ever go
How do I ever, ever survive?
How do I, how do I, oh how do I live
Without you
There would be no sun in my sky
There would be no love in my life
There would be no world left for me
And I, baby, I don't know what I would do
Please tell me, baby, how do I go on
If you ever leave
Baby you would take away everything
Need you with me
Baby don't you know that you are
Everything good in my life
And tell me now
How do I live without you?
How do I live without you, baby?
How do I live without you?[mp=0]http://bbs.cqreview.com/UploadFile/2005-3/200532423647680.mp3[/mp]
Ne-Yo 《InMyOwnWords》
演唱歌手:Ne-Yo
专辑名称:InMyOwnWords
专辑语言:English
专辑曲风:R&B
发行公司:DefJam
发行日期:2006年02月28日
官方网站:http://www6.defjam.com
在舞台表演方面,Ne-Yo也许还是个初生牛犊。可是,他早就大名鼎鼎了!作为一位杰出的歌词作家,Ne-Yo创作了很多风靡全球的歌曲,比如:R&B歌手Mario的《LetMeLoveYou》。他还为白金唱片音乐家MaryJ.Blige和FaithEvans写过歌。
年仅22岁的Ne-Yo出生于阿肯色州的一个音乐世家。母亲一手把他带大。从小小年纪开始,Ne-Yo就开始写作了。总是在幕后工作的Ne-Yo感觉,自己从词作家转换成一位歌手,这个过程很自然--因为演唱一直是他生命中的一部分。
Ne-Yo签约于DefJam唱片公司。很快,他就要发行自己的首张专辑《InMyOwnWords》!这张专辑记录了Ne-Yo对生命和爱的体验。专辑名称"InMyOwnWords"对于像Ne-Yo这样一位天才词作家再合适不过了!Ne-Yo尝试在饶舌音乐中融入更多的音乐元素,慢慢感受感受其中的R&B抒情色彩吧。
专辑第一首单曲《Stay》,阐述了Ne-Yo和音乐之间的联系。单曲《SoSick》中,他表达了自己被电台情歌深深地感动的美妙时刻。另一首单曲《WhenYou'reMad》,幽默的Ne-Yo告诉女朋友:她生气的时候更动人。 Ne-Yo --So SickMmmm mmm yeah
Do do do do do do do-do
Oh Yeah
Gotta change my answering machine
Now that I'm alone
Cuz right now it says that we
Can't come to the phone
And I know it makes no sense
Cuz you walked out the door
(Its ridiculous)
Its been months
And for some reason I just
(Cant get over us)
And I'm stronger then this
(Enough is enough)
No more walking round
With my head down
I'm so over being blue
Crying over you
And I'm so sick of love songs
So tired of tears
So done with wishing you were still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs so sad and slow
So why can't I turn off the radio?
Gotta fix that calender I have
That's marked July 15th
Because since there's no more you
I'm so fed up with my thoughts of you
And your memory
And how every song reminds me
Of what used to be
That's the reason I'm so sick of love songs
So tired of tears
So done with wishing you were still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs so sad and slow
So why cant I turn off the radio?
(Leave me alone)
Leave me alone
(Stupid love songs)
Don't make me think about her smile
Or having my first child
Let it go
Turning off the radio
Cuz I'm so sick of love songs
So tired of tears
So done with wishing she was still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs so sad and slow
So why cant I turn off the radio?
(Why cant I turn off the radio?)
Said I'm so sick of love songs
So tired of tears
So done with wishing she was still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs so sad and slow
So why cant I turn off the radio?
(Why cant I turn off the radio?)
And I'm so sick of love songs
So tired of tears
So done with wishing you were still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs so sad and slow
Why cant I turn off the radio?
(Why cant I turn off the radio?)
Why cant I turn off the radio?[mp=0]http://files.17173.com/ddr/music/rfmusic/So%20Sick.mp3[/mp]
有些人不想当明星都不行,就如星光灿烂的澳洲小天后Delta Goodrem(黛尔塔·古德莱姆)——
7岁轻松打进娱乐圈,为澳洲电视台拍广告并亮相于各类电视娱乐节目。12岁用自己挣来的钱自制个人唱片,其中包括五首自创作品和一首由黛尔塔本人演唱的澳大利亚国歌,唱片后被她邮寄给自己喜爱的足球队the Sydney Swans(“悉尼天鹅队”)。“天鹅队”遂充当伯乐,把这匹千里马碟转交给他们的铁杆球迷兼经纪人Glenn Wheatley。
在接下的两年间,Glenn极力打造黛儿品牌。15岁Delta如愿以偿,签到Sony旗下。18岁其首支单曲Born to try(《生为拼搏》)问世,随即拿下澳洲排行冠军,并一鼓作气抢占英国、新西兰冠军排行。2003年,凭借首张专辑“Innocent Eyes”(《纯真眼眸》),黛尔塔一举摘取了当年ARIA(“澳大利亚音乐大奖”)最佳流行专辑、最佳新人专辑、最佳女艺人、最畅销单曲和最畅销专辑等7项桂冠。
于是乎,几乎所有的人都认为,又一位国际巨星将从澳洲诞生。而对于这一切,黛尔塔仅用一句话作总结:“这才刚刚开始。”
如歌曲“Born to try”(《生为拼搏》)所述——Doing everything that I believe in,专辑“Innocent eyes”(《纯真眼眸》)里除几首和他人合作的歌曲外,几乎所有的作品都是Delta本人的独创,“我希望这张专辑能反映我生命中的这段时光,每首歌都是我对往事的回忆。”
专辑里的主打歌曲“Born to try”一直以来都是电台点播的热门,Delta以她典型的中板抒情风格赢得了听者的心,而中间的高音部分更显示出她坚定的信仰和坚实的唱功。歌曲歌词激励人心,旋律奔放昂扬。Delta Goodrem-- Born to tryDoing everything that I believe in
Going by the rules that I've been taught
More understanding of what's around me
And protected from the walls of love
All that you see is me
And all I truly believe
That I was born to try
I've learned to love
Be understanding
And believe in life
But you've got to make choices
Be wrong or right
Sometimes you've got to sacrifice the things you like
But I was born to try
No point in talking what you should have been
And regretting the things that went on
Life's full of mistakes, destinies and fate
Remove the clouds look at the bigger picture
And all that you see is me
And all I truly believe
That I was born to try
I've learned to love
Be understanding
And believe in life
But you've got to make choices
Be wrong or right
Sometimes you've got to sacrifice the things you like
But I was born to try
All that you see is me
All I truly believe
All that you see is me
And all I truly believe
That I was born to try
I've learned to love
Be understanding
And believe in life
But you've got to make choices
Be wrong or right
Sometimes you've got to sacrifice the things you like
But I was born to try
But you've got to make choices
Be wrong or right
Sometimes you've got to sacrifice the things you like
But I was born to try [mp=1]http://blog.rpwt.info/music/Born_To_Try.mp3[/mp]

Middle of the night
Takin' your heart
Holdin' it tight
Emotional touch
Touchin' my skin
Askin' you to do
What you've been doing
All over again
Oh, it's a beautiful thing
Don't think I can keep it all in
I've just gotta let you know
It's your love
Just does somethin' to me
Sends a shock right through me
Can't get enough
So if you wonder 'bout the spell I'm under
It's your love
Better than I was
More than I am
All of that happened
By takin' your hand
Who I am now
Is who I've wanted to be
Now that we're together
Stronger than ever,
happy and free
Oh, it's a beautiful thing
Don't think I can keep it all in
And if you ask me why I'll change
All I gotta do is say your sweet name [mp=0]http://www.wait4c.com/bbs/userfiles/11724/2005090122055648707.mp3[/mp]
