Title: Guardian
Artist: Alanis Morissette
Genres: Pop rock, alternative rock
Origin: Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Year: 2012
Alanis Morissette回來囉! 睽違四年換了新東家推出了第八張專輯, 首支單曲Guardian在我寫這則介紹的同時我已經聽了第5遍, 而我第一次聽時.. 開頭第10秒的超強搖滾節奏一下, 彷彿把我的心撬開似的(沒誇張, 我當時就是這樣想), 接著一聽到她的歌聲我整個起雞皮疙瘩了, 我想她的新歌跟以前沒什麼變, 這很好.. 因為我就是喜歡這樣的她, 很高興.. 即使整個世界都變了, 還是有不少藝人樂團沒有變, 一直維持在90年代.
I’ll be your keeper for life as your guardian
I’ll be your warrior of care your first warden
I’ll be your angel on call, I’ll be on demand
The greatest honor of all, as your guardian
Title: Liar
Artist: Mumford and Sons
Genres: Indie folk, folk rock
Origin: London, England
Year: 未發行
來自英國的復古民謠搖滾樂團Mumford and Sons, 意外找到這首未發行的Liar, 可是真的很好聽, 淡淡地.. 平靜中卻帶有豐富的情緒, 真的是讓我想到一些老搖滾歌曲, 返璞歸真的感覺!!
Title: She Is Love
Artist: Parachute
Genres: Pop rock
Origin: Charlottesville, Virginia, United States
Year: 2009
清新偶像樂團推一個!!! 主唱真是可愛~~唱歌時臉皺在一起也很有趣XD 然後我怎麼覺得這首歌老早就聽過了~~ 不過他真的沒必要走樂團路線, 聽他歌聲跟臉蛋, 都可以當小約翰梅爾啦!!! 而且他臉長得好對稱喔XD~~
They call her love, love, love, love, love..
She is love. And she is all i need!
Title: I Would Do Anything For You
Artist: Foster The People
Genres: Indie pop, alternative rock, indie dance, indietronica, neo-psychedelia
Origin: Los Angeles, California, United States
Year: 2011
這首是我專輯中最愛的一首!!
來自加洲的Foster The People,不僅在音樂創作上將時髦的氛圍和電氣旋律串接上線,更沾染著一股迷幻風味,保留獨立製作的精神,揮灑出當今饒富創意的搖擺節奏。慵懶嗓音帶來〈I Would Do Anything For You〉琅琅上口的副歌旋律,讓人留下深刻印象! {轉自Torches專輯文案}
Title: My Favourite Game
Artist: The Cardigans
Genres: Alternative rock
Origin: Jönköping, Sweden
Year: 1998
羊毛衫真的很夠意思, 果然在台北演唱會有唱招牌歌曲lovefool跟這首My Favourite Game, 聽了超開心!!!
And I’m losing my favourite game
you’re losing your mind again
I’m losing my baby
losing my favourite game
Title: Elevator Love Letter
Artist: Stars
Genres: Indie Pop, Baroque Pop, Electronica
Origin: Canada
Year: 2003
來自加拿大的男女對唱樂團Stars, 走的是浪漫夢幻的風格, 一直都很喜歡這首Elevator Love Letter, 我用中文”電梯愛信”來記都不會忘XDDDD
I’m so hot for the rich girl
Her heels so high, and my hopes so low
‘Cause I don’t know how to love
I’ll take her home after midnight
And if she likes, I’ll tell her lies
How we’ll be in love by the morning
I don’t think she knows
That I’m saying good bye
Title: Hello
Artist: Martin Solveig & Dragonette
Genres: House, dance-pop
Origin: Paris, France / Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Year: 2010
這是個讓人想罵髒話的MV…. 也有很屌的地方, 就是整個MV就是一場網球公開賽(假的), 來自巴黎的電音DJ – Martin Solveig和另一位DJ在比網球, 然後這MV的劇情發展就是在SHE(Martin Solveig的秘密愛人)出現之後, 有了意想不到的大翻轉, 最後也是讓人猜不透(⊙o⊙)
Yeah, I think you’re cute,
but I really think that you should know.
I just came to say hello, hello, hello, hello.
