音樂欣賞 Upside Down

                 Singer: Paloma Faith

 

Paloma Faith是2009年英國樂壇的女新人，一位25歲的白人創作歌手。她讓人談論的地方，是這位女生有一把很soulful的歌聲，就像之前的Amy Winehouse，Duffy，和Adele一樣(還有早年的Joss Stone)，充滿一種懷舊和黑人的味道。

 

唱片” Do You Want The Truth or Something Beautiful?”是Paloma的首張專輯。據說，她是花了五年時間去寫作當中的歌曲。唱片音樂風格是soul pop一類型的音樂，當中的歌曲大都很悅耳，配上Paloma出色的歌聲演繹，這唱片讓人反覆聆聽多次也不會生厭。

 

其中 "Upside Down”有輕快易入耳的節奏，動聽易記的副歌部份令人一聽便可以跟著一起來和唱。內容很有意思，Paloma叫人放慢生活的腳步，一切可以變得更美好。 

歌詞:

 

Upside Down

 

Angels watching over me with smiles upon their face
Coz I have made it through this far in an unforgiving place

It feels sometimes this is too steep for a girl like me to climb
But I must knock those guards right down I do it in my own time

I don't care (care care)
I'm half way there (nowhere)
On a road that leads me to straight to who knows where

I tell you what (I tell you what)
What I have found (What I have found)
That I'm no fool (That I'm no fool)
I'm just upside down (Just upside down)

Ain't got no pain (Ain't got no pain)
I aint got no rules (Aint got no rules)
I think I like (I think I like)
Living upside down (Living upside down)

Watchin people scurry by rushing to and fro
Oh this world is such a crazy place it's all about the go go go

Sometimes life can taste so sweet When you slow it down
You start to see the world a little differently
When you turn it upside down

I don't care (care care)
I'm half way there (nowhere)
And I'm just soaking up the magic in the air

I tell you what (I tell you what)
What I have found (What I have found)
That I'm no fool (That I'm no fool)
I'm just upside down (Just upside down)

 

 

Ain't got no pain (Ain't got no pain)
I aint got no rules (Aint got no rules)
I think I like (I think I like)
Living upside down (Living upside down)

(Whoa Whoa Whoa)
You gotta slow it down
(Yeah Yeah Yeah)
But then you pick it up
(Whoa Yeah Whoa)
C'mon and try a little topsy-turvy back-to-front the right way round
Take it slow slow slow (You gotta pick it up)
Yeah Yeah Yeah (See you slow it down)
Yo Yo Yo (Tell me something something)

I tell you what (I tell you what)
What I have found (What I have found)
That I'm no fool (That I'm no fool)
I'm just upside down (Just upside down)

Ain't got no pain (Ain't got no pain)
I aint got no rules (Aint got no rules)
I think I like (I think I like)
Living upside down (Living upside down)

I tell you what (I tell you what)
What I have found (What I have found)
That I'm no fool (That I'm no fool)
I'm just upside down (Just upside down)

Ain't got no pain (Ain't got no pain)
I aint got no rules (Aint got no rules)
I think I like (I think I like)
Living upside down (Living upside down)
