一点一点我就这样放手



1984年Katie Melua出生于格鲁吉亚的首都第比利斯。对于第比利斯,我能想起的估计只有茅盾先生的文章第比利斯地下印刷所了。8岁的时候,她随全家人搬到了贝尔法斯特。15岁的时候,她参加了电视台的一个选秀节目,凭一首Mariah Carey的Without You获得了胜利。大学期间,她接触了很多不同曲风的音乐,并被音乐人Mike Batt发掘。

第一次听到她的Nine Million Bicycles就被她清澈的嗓音吸引。这首Piece by Piece就是她专辑的主打曲之一,单曲在2005年10月发布。这是一首与过去告别的歌曲。一点一点,就这样忘记你。

特别喜欢第三段结束后Katie的哼唱,有一种空灵的感觉。我能找到的,只有YouTube上Katie的Acoustic现场演唱的版本。现场唱这段间奏的效果也相当好,可见她唱功了得。

另外,她专辑中还有一首I Cried for You,与这首歌的风格很相似。

Piece by Piece

First of all must go
Your scent upon my pillow
And then I'll say goodbye
to your whispers in my dreams.
And then our lips will part
In my mind and in my heart,
Cos your kiss
Went deeper than my skin.

Piece by piece
is how I'll let go of you
Kiss by kiss
Will leave my mind one at a time
One at a time

First of all must fly,
My dreams of you and I,
There's no point of holding on to those.
And then our ties will break,
For your and my own sake,
Just remember,
This is what you chose.

Piece by piece
Is how I'll let go of you
Kiss by kiss,
will leave my mind one at a time
One at a time

I'll shed like skin,
Our memories of lazy days,
And fade away the shadow of your face

Piece by piece
Is how I'll let go of you
Kiss by kiss,
Will leave my mind one at a time
One at a time, One at a time, One at a time...
