歌詞 《jupiter》專輯封面 All I needed was a little more time
To find a way to, to make it in life
Not that I needed a round of applause
I only hoped that somehow you'd appreciate
Oh I've tried, How I've tried
Tried so hard to make you proud
All I needed was a shoulder to cry on
And someone to, to say it's ok
Not that it was hard to try to be strong
But there were moments when I just had to BreakDown
Oh I've cried, How I've cried
Tears that you will never see ....
Do you know
How it hurts
How it feels to be afraid
Of the world
How it feels to be alone
Do you know what it means
When you turn and walk away
Do you know
That I'll Always let you down
All I needed was a little more time
To find a way to, to make it in life
Not that I needed a round of applause
I only hoped that somehow you'd appreciate
Oh I've tried, How I've tried
Tried so hard to make you proud
Do you know
How it hurts
How it feels to be afraid
Of the world
How it feels to be alone
Do you know what it means
When you turn and walk away
Do you know
That I'll Always let you down
All the years of silence
Walls between us
And anger inside
You'll misunderstand me
I'll pay you back In a way
That makes you mad
Do you know
How it hurts
How it feels to be afraid
Of the world
How it feels to be alone
Do you know what it means
When you turn and walk away
Do you know
That I'll Always let you down
Do you know
All I needed was a little more time
專輯介紹 蔡健雅(Tanya)加盟華納後的首張國語大碟《陌生人》,甫推出便取得極佳成績,更成為台灣某大唱片排行榜的6月份總冠軍,成績驕人。最近唱片公司亦為她推出了最新的英文專輯《Jupiter》,既是乘勝追擊,亦是把更原味更完整的“蔡健雅”介紹給各地的樂迷。
跟《陌生人》一樣,這張《Jupiter》內的歌曲,都是些較抒情的作品,大部分都由Tanya親自創作,內容都離不開女性在感情路上的心理描寫,刻劃細緻,顯現她柔情感性的一面。碟內不少歌曲,都曾改編成國語版,收錄在她不同的國語大碟里,對很多樂迷來說,應該不會感到陌生。另外,Tanya唱英文歌肯定比國語歌盡情投入,畢竟英語才是她的第一語言(她第一張專輯《Bored》亦是英文碟來的),故發揮當然會比較好。
在碟內多首歌曲裡面,筆者最喜歡旋律優美的“Day and Night”,國語版曾收錄在2001年的《I Do Believe》專輯中,兩個版本的歌詞俱吸引,而英文版這個新編曲,比國語版已曝光的那兩個編曲(一個是原裝版,一個是吉他版)更動人。
“Two of Us”與國語版一樣充滿誘惑,Tanya的演繹感性,有種說不出的嫵媚。翻唱英倫組合Coldplay作品的“Yellow”深情而帶些少哀傷,一方面寫出自己為愛奮不顧身的堅持,同時又有少許埋怨另一半卻步不前,詞中不斷反覆詠唱著“Look how they shine for you”,似有鼓勵愛人向前闖的意味。
其他歌曲如“Sanctuary of Love”(“衝動”英語版)、“Tell Me”(“你說”英語版)及以吉他為主導的點題歌曲“drops of Jupiter”(原唱為Train),均不容錯過。
