Hello
Do you remember me?
I am your long lost pen pal
It must have been ten years ago we last wrote
I don't really know what happened
I guess life came in the way
Let me know if you're still alive
Let me know if you ever used that knife or not
Hello
Yes, I remember you
I've got a husband and two children now
I work as an accountant and make fairly good money
I still have your letters
You used a pink pen to write them
And you would comfort me
When my tears would stain the ink
And I would send you mixtapes with Kate Bush on
# I have to admit I sometimes lied in those letters
Tried to make life better than it was
I still wasn't kissed at sixteen
And I still need a friend #
There was this letter
I never told you this back then
But it would be fair to say it saved my life
I sat in the window
The only one left out from a party again
Pretty sure I didn't have a single friend
Then I checked the mailbox
Dear long lost pen pal
I was lying the whole time
I'm really a 46 years old man named Luke
I have three children and a wife
She doesn't care
And I hope you don't resent me
And I hope that you don't hate me
For trying to find my way back to what it's like to be young
Hello Saferide是由创作人Annika Norlin组建的一支瑞典乐队。
乐队成员有:Annika Norlin, Fredrik Hultgren, Jens Lagergren, Andreas Mattsson, Andrea Kellerman, Tomas Hallonsten, Magnus Eklund.
2007年。Annika Norlin以Säkert!乐队的名义发行了一张专辑"Yeah, right!",这张专辑为她赢得了两个 2008年的格莱美奖项,最佳流行女歌手和最佳歌词。
素有邻家女孩形象,acoustic pop风味的恬淡民谣,Hello Saferide拾起一把空心吉他,以小女孩的自吟带来了委实动人的「Introducing...Hello Saferide」专辑。
关于这张专辑评价中有这么一句:“这是一张关于相思成灾,寂寞无眠和美好回忆的专辑,洋溢其中的淳淳爱意令人迷醉。”
一首《Long Lost Penpal》是讲述的是两个笔友之间的平凡动人的故事,这种不张不扬的曲风淡淡慵懒,淡淡从容,淡淡幽雅,淡淡忧伤,淡淡美丽,淡淡寂寞,似不经意地低吟浅唱,却吐气如兰.微笑并且流泪的花朵在青春的季节里永不会凋谢……
