我部落格的音樂常常更換,從最初高詢問度的的Keyshia ColeLove》、MusiqLove》、Kelly ClarksonTo Make You Feel My Love》、Beverley KnightShoulda Woulda Coulda》、Yolanda AdamsFragile Heart》、AaliyahTurn The Page》、Belle and SebastianThe State I Am In》到現在這首Donna LewisI Could Be The One》,每一首歌對我來說都有特別意義,不僅代表著一種聆聽當下時的心情,也是創作者的一個故事,而我們接收他的故事與周遭生活相結共鳴後,用我們的方式繼續傳述這個故事,甚至更貼近地成為串連生活的主題曲。

第一次聽到
Donna Lewis的甜美嗓音是她一曲成名之作《I Love You Always Forever》,簡單的旋律、乾淨的聲線立刻成為我隨身聽裡常放來聽的一張CD。她的聲音讓我想到在
湖畔彈豎琴的天使充滿小女生情竇初開的羞澀,不僅第一張專輯的《I Love You Always Forever》如此,繼後的專輯中《I Could Be The One》亦然,總是洋溢濃濃甜意,聽著聽著也不自覺漾開笑容傻笑著。後來她和Richard Marx為動畫電影【真假公主:安娜塔西亞】共同灌錄的主題曲《At The Beginning》更是令人驚豔,Donna的甜美搭上Richard的沙啞鮮明對比,激盪出一股別具風味的特色。

愛情真的是綺麗幻想,為了喜歡的人,甘願為他無條件犧牲奉獻,只為換來他的一顰一笑,然後所有付出都隨著笑容的綻放一刻值得了。

不在結局,只重過程,曾經擁有過的美好就已足夠回味良久。

謝謝所有愛我的人、我愛的人。愛給我勇氣,繼續向前。

Lyrics of 《I Could Be The One》

I could be your sea of sand
I could be your warmth of desire
I could be your prayer of hope
I could be your gift to everyday
I could be your tide of heaven
I could be a hint of what's to come
I could be ordinary
I could be the one

I could be your blue eyed angel
I could be the storm before the calm
I could be your secret pleasure
I could be your well wishing well
I could be your breath of life
I could be your European dream
I could be ordinary
I could be the one

Now I would lie here in the darkness
Now I would lie here for all time
Now I would lie here watching OVER YOU
Comfort you
Sing to you

I could be your worry partner
I could be your socialite
I could be your green eyed monster
I could be your force of light
I could be your temple garden
I could be your tender hearted child
I could be ordinary
I could be the one

I would lie here in the darkness
I would lie here for all time
I would lie here watching OVER YOU
Comfort you
Sing to you

Will I ever change the journey
Will the hushed tones disappear
Oh little Rita Let me hold you
Oh little Rita Let me love you
I could be your leafy island
I could be your thunder in the clouds
I could be your dark enclosure
I could be your romantic soul
I could be your small beginning
I could be your soothing universe
I could be ordinary
I could be the one

I could be ordinary
I could be the one

I could be ordinary
I could be the one

More About Donna Lewis


隨著個人首支單曲
"I Love You Always Forever"在排行與銷售成績的雙贏助瀾下,讓唐娜路易斯入圍美國音樂獎流行/搖滾類「最受歡迎的新人」、Billboard雜誌1996年最佳新進流行藝人的第6名。

這位出生於威爾斯的歌手兼詞曲創作者,自
6歲開始學習鋼琴,14歲生日後開始寫歌。進入威爾斯音樂戲劇學院主修鋼琴與長笛,並立志以音樂做為終身職志。在首張專輯「Now In A Minute」的大大暢銷後,唐娜並為因此而休息,反而在97年底至98年初在自家的錄音室為新作催生。

專輯「
Blue Planet」的創作靈感多半是來自於唐娜現位於都柏林的住所周遭所發生的人、事、物;如新專輯中的"Beauty And Wonder""Blue Planet"便是因此而產生的;除了自己本身擔任鍵盤樂器的彈奏外,亦有多位知名樂手加入專輯的伴奏工作,如在上一張專輯即出現的吉他手Gerry Leonard (Paula ColeLaurie Anderson)、貝斯手Tony Franklin (Jimmy Page);鼓手Ralph Salmins (BjorkVan MorrisonEverything But The Girl) ;除此之外,David LowePaul Waller也加入鼓聲的編排工作,吉他手Jimmy Smith,幫Bruce SpringsteenStingPeter Gabriel伴奏的鍵盤手David Sancious也加入專輯的錄製工作。

首支單曲
"I Could Be The One"在一陣顯明的鼓點中,伴隨唐娜輕柔的嗓音,道出一個女人其實是可以完成許多不同的事情的。"Love Him"則是難得一見的舞曲樂風;而具有強烈旋律放克味十足的"Beauty And Wonder"亦讓人耳目一新;"Take Me Home"一曲原本則是為動畫電影「真假公主安娜塔西亞」所創作的(雖然她也與Richard Marx在原聲帶中合唱了"At The Beginning")。整張專輯在豐富的鍵盤樂音、輕如空氣的吉他聲響與唐娜極具特色的嗓音鋪陳下呈現出一張讓人猶如置身天堂的作品。
