My tea’gone cold,
I’m wondering why I got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window
And I can’t see at all
And even if I could it’d all be grey,
But your picture on my wall
It reminds me that it’s not so bad
It’s not so bad
I drank too much last night got bills to pay,
My head just feels in pain
I missed the bus and there’ll be hell today
I’m late for work again
And even if I’m there ,they ‘ll imply
That I might not last the day
And then you call me and it’s not so bad
It’s not so bad and
I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you is having
The best day of my life
Push the door,I’m home at last
And I’m soaking through and through
Then you handed me a towel
And all I see is you
And even if my house falls down now
I wouldn’t have a clue
Because you’re near me and
I want to thank you
For giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you is having
The best day of my life
相信大家对这首歌一定特熟悉了,歌曲一开始是一阵轻快的鼓点,像从空旷的原野上飘来的,颇具原始的韵味,接着便传来Dido那麻痹而略显慵懒的声音。一个失恋女子的痛苦不经意间就从她的口中娓娓唱来。歌曲讲述了一个失恋女子在爱人离去后是如何的痛苦不堪:生活没有了阳光,天空乌云密布,整日沉浸于酒精的麻痹中,浑浑噩噩,但脑子里仍然装满了爱人的影子。后来爱人回心转意,回到了她身边,她又顿时感到阳光普照,只要能同爱人在一起,即使整个世界都毁灭了她也不会在意的。不知道你在听了这首歌的时候,会不会在歌中找到自己的影子,也许吧。不过这都不是最重要的,因为All we need is Dido’s cool music.
《Thank you》作为Dido 的成名作,还曾被Elton John 在格莱美的颁奖晚会上翻唱。这足见这首歌的魅力。当你的耳朵听腻了在流水线上生产出来的粗俗音乐时,当你渴望用另一种别具一格的声音把你的耳朵叫醒时,你不妨听一听Dido的这首《Thank you》,当然还有诸如《Here with me》、《White flag》之类的歌。
