環遊世界的一小步

Ace of Base在第二張專輯結束後,沉寂了三年,說真的那時的我一直盼望他們的新專輯面市
還記得某年某月的某一天(拍謝忘了紀錄買的時間XD),逛唱片行時很偶然的看到了,很漂亮的一朵白花,背景是藍色的
仔細一看,OMG...是Ace of base的新單曲,二話不說買上買了,回家聽了好多遍,不是以前的Ace of base風,Ace of base變輕鬆了
聽著這張單曲-Life is a flower,就好像很愚蠢的MV一般,常常會讓我不知不覺飛到空中轉 XD
這張專輯曲風丕變,跟以前那種超重的電子舞曲有點不同,走的是比較輕鬆的感覺,當中也翻唱了一首老歌Cruel Summer
有些人不喜歡他們詮釋的方式,但是對我來說,我覺的Ace of base給予一首歌另一個生命

第三張專輯的封面


第一首要欣賞的當然就是會讓我飛上天的Life is a flower
說真的,這首的MV有點鳥,就看四個人在那邊很蠢的跳 XD,不過沒差啦,我還是愛他們

Life is a Flower

We live in a free world
I whistle down the wind
Carry on smiling
And the world will smile with you
Life is a flower
So precious in your hand
Carry on smiling
And the world will smile with you

When every race is run
And the day is closing in
I don't care about the world
I'm living for the light
Don't cry for me today, ah-ah ah...

We live in a free world
I whistle down the wind...

I can not be your judge
Mr. jailer is your host
He's keeping you inside
And hides you from the world
No catcher in the rye
Can help you from yourself

We live in a free world
I whistle down the wind...

Please mr. agony
Release them for a while
Learn them the consequences of
Living without life

We live in a free world...
(repeat & fade)

第二首也算是主打的歌了Cruel Summer有兩個版本的曲風先聽聽UK版的吧

Cruel Summer

US版本的,我比較喜歡的版本,因為有混音過了^^"



Hot summer streets and the pavements are burning
I sit around
Trying to smile, but the air is so heavy and dry
Strange voices are saying (ah, what did they say?)
Things I can't understand
It's too close for comfort, this heat has got
Right out of hand

It's a cruel, (cruel) cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, (it's a cruel) cruel summer
Now you're gone
You're not the only one
It's a cruel

The city is crowded, my friends are away and I'm on my own
It's too hot to handle, so I gotta get up and go, and go

It's a cruel, (cruel) cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, (it's a cruel) cruel summer
Now you're gone
You're not the only one

It's a cruel, cruel summer (leaving me)
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, (it's a cruel) cruel summer
Now you're gone
You're not the only one
Cruel

Now don't you leave me
Now don't you leave me
Well don't you leave me
Come on, come on

Now don't you leave me
Now don't you leave me
Well don't you leave me

Come on, come on

It's a cruel, cruel summer (leaving me)
Leaving me here on my own

It's a cruel, (it's a cruel) cruel summer
Now you're gone
You're not the only one

It's a cruel, cruel summer (leaving me)
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, (it's a cruel) cruel summer
Now you're gone
You're not the only one

It's a cruel, cruel summer
It's a cruel, (it's a cruel) cruel summer

It's a cruel, cruel summer
It's a cruel, (it's a cruel) cruel summer

It's a cruel summer

順便聽聽原唱的版本由Bananarama唱的,很早很早以前也是有名的一個女子團體,我沒來的及參與,我老爸好像有XD
