Mariah Carey Almost Home
Mariah Carey Almost Home
——翻譯：steven sheng
You're almost home
I've seen the light，In the sky
In the skies are like fireflies，Burning bright
Just to vanish in the dark
I've held hope ，In my two hands
That there would be another chance，To find the kingdom
I'm believing in my heart
Cause underneath the good there's something greater than you know
When you're almost there
And you're almost home
Just open up your eyes and go go
When you're almost there，Almost home，Know you're not alone
You're almost home
When you run，Run so far
You've forgotten who you are，Where you're from
It's like some other universe
You count your steps，Like they're regrets
You catch one breath then lose the rest
Wrong is right，Right is left
And there's nowhere left to turn
So don't believe in everything
You think，You think you know
When you're almost there
And you're almost home
Just open up your eyes and go go
When you're almost there，Almost home，Know you're not alone
You're almost home
When you let your heart be the compass
You won't get lost，Not if you trust it
When you hear the sound of the trumpet，Louder than ever before
Oh...

Mariah Carey Almost Home 瑪麗亞 凱莉 信仰將至（魔境仙蹤/奧茲巫師主題曲）電影《魔境仙蹤》
Mariah Carey Almost Home彼岸在即
——翻譯：steven sheng
You're almost home
你的彼岸在即
I've seen the light，In the sky
我已受靈光感召，就在天際
In the skies are like fireflies，Burning bright
好似螢光在閃，光榮地照耀
Just to vanish in the dark
然後划過長夜
I've held hope ，In my two hands
但我已牢攥希望，用我雙手
That there would be another chance，To find the kingdom
我深知這是我的再次恩遇，去追逐我的心中屬島
I'm believing in my heart
我深信，我景仰
Cause underneath the good there's something greater than you know
那裡有寶藏，超越你想像
When you're almost there
當你靠近彼岸
And you're almost home
你會一見如故
Just open up your eyes and go go
放開雙眼，一路前行吧
When you're almost there，Almost home，Know you're not alone
當你靠近彼岸，就像重逢一樣，不覺孤單
You're almost home
理想就在前方
When you run，Run so far
當你前行，披荊斬棘
You've forgotten who you are，Where you're from
不顧自我，來自何方，
It's like some other universe
那是一個新的時空，
You count your steps，Like they're regrets
你拾級而上，放縱遺憾回放
You catch one breath then lose the rest
你品著呼吸，釋然而安詳
Wrong is right，Right is left
執著即是非執著，非執著即是執著
And there's nowhere left to turn
再也不需要難以割捨
So don't believe in everything
所以，請勿執著眼前
You think，You think you know
一轉念，你只需一轉念
When you're almost there
夢想轉瞬即達你眼前
And you're almost home
就像在你自己的港灣
Just open up your eyes and go go
擦亮雙眼，就此上路吧！
When you're almost there，Almost home，Know you're not alone
當你靠近彼岸，就像重逢一樣，不覺孤單
You're almost home
你彼岸在即
When you let your heart be the compass
當你追隨內心的羅盤
You won't get lost，Not if you trust it
你再不會迷失方向，只要你深信不疑歌曲MV
When you hear the sound of the trumpet，Louder than ever before
· Billboard: Just in time for the long weekend, superstar singer, American Idol judge and diva extraordinaire Mariah Carey is letting fans whet their appetite for new music by releasing a snippet of her about-to-be-released single, “Almost Home.”
Featured in the forthcoming Disney feature Oz: The Great and Powerful, starring James Franco and Mila Kunis, directed by Sam Raimi and scheduled for a theatrical release on March 8, the pure pop track was co-written by Carey with Simone Porter, Justin Gray, Lindsey Ray and co-produced by Stargate (Tor Erik Hermansen and Mikkel Eriksen). It goes to radio on Tuesday, Feb. 19 and will be available on iTunes the same day. An accompanying video, directed by Carey's frequent collaborator David LaChapelle, will premiere in the coming weeks.
The vocals for “Almost Home” sit comfortably in Carey’s mid-range, as opposed to leaning more heavily on the breathy falsetto for which the octave-defying performer is also known. Recorded in New York City at Roc The Mic Studios and featuring overlaying harmonies, the song marks a return to form for the multiple Grammy winner, who’s sold more than 200 million albums since her 1990 debut. "It's a feel-good record," said Carey in a statement announcing the tune whose lyrics pine to "find a kingdom I believe in in my heart." "It gives you the feeling of reaching your home and being with people that you love," she added.
Oz: The Great and Powerful is a sort of prequel to the timeless story of The Wizard of Oz that imagines the origins of L. Frank Baum’s iconic title character. Carey is currently working on a new www.abooky.com /release in the spring. Listen to a snippet of “Almost Home” below:
· E!: "If you've ever closed your eyes, clicked your heels and wished for more Mariah Carey, then you're in luck, because your musical prayers have been answered... The up-tempo track features Carey's signature powerhouse vocals and an electro-pop beat. TheAmerican Idoljudge belts out inspirational lyrics on the movie's musical anthem, perfectly paying homage to Dorothy and the classic tale." · Vibe: "Falsetto connoisseur Mariah Carey headlines the soundtrack for Disney's newest film Oz: The Great and The Powerful with the lighthearted track 'Almost Home. Co-written by Simone Porter, Justin Gray, Lindsey Ray and co-produced by Stargate, the 'Triumphant' songbird harmonizes the way she does best." · MTV: "Put on your best pair of ruby slippers, close your eyes and click your heels together because Mariah Carey is taking fans along for her trip to Oz. On Tuesday (February 19), she officially released 'Almost Home,' the lead tune off theOz the Great and Powerfulsoundtrack. The up-tempo pop piece plants Carey right in the mythical land from the famed movie. It's weaved together by a bouncing beat and bright synths, as Carey's signature vocals soar over Stargate's sparkling production work." · Los Angeles Times: "Carey's new song, "Almost Home" -- it's tied to Disney's "Oz the Great and Powerful," scheduled for movie theaters next month -- feels like a return to that earlier time... the midtempo song seems entirely built around Carey's vocals, which arc upward until they crest in a key change that delivers the thrill we've grown to expect from her. It's an old-fashioned appeal to think of Carey anew." · Yahoo! Canada Music Blog: "Mariah's 2009 Eminem dis 'Obsessed' was her last top 10 hit. But her new song 'Almost Home' from the soundtrack ofOz The Great And Powerfulwill place her back on the top of the charts. Mariah understands how to keep her sound fresh and relevant better than possibly any other pop star with 20-plus years of hits. Though ''Almost Home' boasts Mariah's honey-laced multi-octave range, the song's true pop friendliness lies on the production from Stargate. The music shifts several times during its course, moving from a militaristic, uplifting mid-tempo to a gritty, knocking underground hip-hop track before settling on an easy EDM bed that Katy Perry would have loved. 'Almost Home'' essentially incorporates bits of Perry, Kelly Clarkson and the Black Eyed Peas without losing Mariah in the mix." · AOL Music Blog: "A movie as epic asOz The Great and Powerfuldeserves an equally as memorable soundtrack. (Seriously, James Franco is playing the famous wizard!) Luckily, Mariah Carey delivers. 'Almost Home,' a song from the upcoming film, kicks off with a thumping beat as powerful as Mimi's vocals. The Stargate-produced track is the quintessential movie anthem, underscoring the www.abooky.com go home." · Popcrush: "The song is a return to form for the multi-octave diva. "Almost Home" sounds like a Carey track from the days of yore - her 90's heyday - in the best way. With a Stargate-produced beat, the song sounds like it''d fit right in on Carey's pop classicsMusic BoxandDaydream.The upbeat song relies on Carey’s unrivaled gifts of melody, harmony and power instead of attempting to attain street cred with guest rappers, and it's where she shines brightest. The track starts out with a more R&B vibe in the verses, then morphs into a poppier tune for the choruses. The song has a motivational message akin to Carey's unstoppable ballad 'Hero,' but combines it with an upbeat, uptempo track." · Neon Limelight: "Mariah Carey is back and serving up major vocals on her new single, 'Almost Home.' The Grammy-winning diva andAmerican Idoljudge belts to the high heavens on the mid-tempo pop track, the first single from the soundtrack to Disney'sOz: The Great and Powerful." · Hollywood Gossip: "Remember when Mariah Carey was just a singer? One of the all-time greats, at that? Well, she reminds us of this with her latest release, entitled ''Almost Home.' The song, which is tied to the new filmOz the Great and Powerful, feels like a return to the Mariah of old, with electro-pop precision backing up her soaring vocals. The mid-tempo track may not go down as one of her biggest hits, but it's indicative of the unique vocal talent she possesses, and what her fans now expect."
