No No No No No, nothing else will do,I've gotta have you, I've gotta have you.
我是如此希望得到你,其他的我都不要,只要你。

多麼惹人憐愛的小東西,The Weepies,淚眼汪汪的看著我,so mellow ,so sad,so beautiful。


The Weepies是由Deb Talan和Steve Tannen兩位Singer-Songwriter所組成的團體,二位主唱的聲音一聽便難以忘懷,無論是女聲略帶鼻音的腔調伴佐吉他男聲,還是男子軟軟的吟唱中夾著女子輕柔的合音,都給人一拍即合的魅力。

這二人如此奇妙的默契,現在不只呈現在他們的音樂創作上,2007年他們結了婚,並且在10月的時候有了愛情的結晶,名正言順的成了甜蜜民謠夫婦二人檔,真是羨煞旁人。



The Weepies於06年初發行了這張《Say I Am You》,甫開張便衝向iTunes在八個國家的民謠類下載冠軍,其中Gotta have you便是極為惹人憐愛的小品,Talan那略帶鼻音的唱腔,好像哭泣過後的小女人耍脾氣般哀傷,讓人難以抵抗的喜愛及揪心,World Spins Madly On則以Steve平靜的聲音和流暢的吉他旋律唱出愛情消逝的無能為力,接下來的Painting By Chagall(夏卡爾的畫)有濃濃花草香,朗朗上口彷彿如夏卡爾中的愛侶飄上了藍色的天空。除了清新動人的曲調,The Weepies最感人的還是他平實簡單的歌詞,以及在流行與獨立間取得平衡的創作能力,《Say I Am You》這張專輯告訴耳朵越來越挑剔的聽眾,好聽不需要太多理由,亦無需孤芳自賞的賣弄,真摯的情感永遠是最能打動人心的元素。

  

2008新出的Hideaway也一樣好聽,有興趣的可以上他們的網站試聽。


Gotta Have You



Gray, quiet and tired and mean
Picking at a worried seam
I try to make you mad at me over the phone
Red eyes and fire and signs
I’m taken by a nursery rhyme
I want to make a ray of sunshine and never leave home

No amount of coffee, no amount of crying
No amount of whiskey, no amount of wine
No, nothing else will do
I've gotta have you, I've gotta have you

The road gets cold
There’s no spring in the middle this year
I’m the new chicken clucking open hearts and ears
Oh, such a prima donna, sorry for myself
But green, it is also summer
And I won’t be warm till I’m lying in your arms

I see it all through a telescope:
Guitar, suitcase, and a warm coat
Lying in the back of the blue boat
Humming a tune... 




World Spins Madly On


Woke up and wished that I was dead
With an aching in my head
I lay motionless in bed
I thought of you and where you’d gone
And let the world spin madly on

Everything that I said I’d do
Like make the world brand new
And take the time for you
I just got lost and slept right through the dawn
And the world spins madly on

I let the day go by
I always say goodbye
I watch the stars from my window sill
The whole world is moving and I’m standing still

Woke up and wished that I was dead
With an aching in my head
I lay motionless in bed
The night is here and the day is gone
And the world spins madly on

I thought of you and where you’d gone
And the world spins madly on...
