每日一歌：Jem → I Always Knew ☆★☆ 惊艳(11.20)

LULU

我喜欢星星闪烁的感觉
让人觉得充满希望
Jem --- 她的声音就带来这种感觉
如星光闪烁般 尽管只有微弱的光芒
但是透出一种坚持的信念
生活需要坚持下去的勇气和信念

要乐观，要积极
无论生活用哪一种方式回报你的所有付出
都要坚持自己的信念
That is what I wanner say.

I Always Knew

           - by  Jem

I always knew I would one day be here
But I couldn't be a puppet on a string
I've had my fights, often I've been KO'd
But I've got back up though I won't give in
And now I know how it works
If you're too nice you lose
I'm gonna make it to the top well let me show you
And if I've got to toughen up then that is what I'll do
Don't hate me. I'm not so crazy. 
You'd be crazy that's for sure.
Becoming a bitch is not what I got into music for.
I remember back to a datching way
Where two young boys started mocking me
I looked at them. Thought I'll show you one day
But I didn't fight or stand up for me.
And that young girls learn the hard way
If you're too nice you lose.
I'm gonna make it to the top well let me show you
And if I've got to toughen up then that is what I'll do
Don't hate me. I'm not so crazy. 
You'd be crazy that's for sure.
Becoming a bitch is not what I got into music for.
I'll make it crystal clear that I am not going anywhere
As long as there is music, I'll be here.
I'm gonna make it to the top well let me show you
And if I've got to toughen up then that is what I'll do
Don't hate me. I'm not so crazy. 
You'd be crazy that's for sure.
Becoming a bitch is not what I got into music for.
I'm gonna make it to the top well let me show you
And if I've got to toughen up then that is what I'll do
I've sold you a million baby, 
not just maybe that's for sure
Given the chance I'll show you I can sell a million more.

 

专辑名称：Down To Earth
发行时间：2008-09-16

Jem，原名 Jemma Griffiths，来自英国威尔斯。13 岁就开始创作并演唱，29 岁才发行了自己的处女专辑《Finally Woken》。Jem被誉为“Dido II”，但她终究不是Dido，声线和曲风跟 Dido 确实都非常相似，她如Dido 般慵懒，慵懒中却透露着一股淡雅；她如Dido 般空旷，空旷中却又动人非常。这张混合了流行摇滚、古典民谣、电子音乐、世界音乐等元素的专辑很快风靡了全世界，在英国获得第六名的专辑已在排行榜上占据超过30周，并创下全英点播亚军曲“They”与冠军曲“Just A Ride”两首热门单曲。Jem在影视中的音乐作品也很多，《龙骑士》的片尾曲《Once In Every Lifetime》，还有《欲望都市》里的一首《It's Amazing》，也同样是令人过耳不忘。

《Down To Earth》是Jem的第二张专辑，听下来感觉还是没有变，沿袭了很多第一张专辑的风格。
Jem的新专辑等了4年，相信大家依然记得这位苏格兰威尔士女生04年首发的《Finally Woken》，人们常常拿她与Dido比较，也许在声线上有些相似，Jem依然走多方位的路线，曲风上多元素，融合了Trip-Hop，folk，Electronic,对她当年的They，味道上依旧产生共鸣,相信大家也念念不念。Jem没有太纯粹的英式，仿佛化成魔咒般，慵懒中透露着淡雅，异常动人的节拍，在半梦半醒之间吟唱游乐，无限延伸的想像着，听觉此时被唤醒了。《Down to Earth》再次邂逅的新作。

最想给大家推荐的其实是《Down To Earth》，但是没有找到可以直接播放的MP3，只好换了这首《I Always Knew 》，还好仍有很浓郁的Jem的味道。尤其喜欢她的声音带来的感觉。。。
