A Fine Frenzy是由现年二十三岁的Alison Sudol创作的音乐。出生在西雅图的Alison,父母亲是剧场艺术的教师,五岁时跟随著恢復单身的母亲移居到洛杉磯。也许是因為在洛城迁移不定的成长过程,让Alison一头栽进了奇幻文学的世界里,对CS Lewis(纳尼亚传奇作者)、EB White(夏绿蒂的网作者)、Lewis Carroll(爱丽丝梦游仙境作者)和Charles Dickens(孤雏泪作者)等人的作品有著强烈的喜好,这一份热情也影响了她日后的作品。
在自学钢琴弹奏以后,Alison投入更多的努力将她内在的情感表达在其他的歌曲形式中。她在近来的全球性英国乐团美妙感伤的旋律中找到了慰藉,如:Aqualung、Radiohead、Coldplay和Keane...等,并在Philip Glass极简单的音符曲调和冰岛音乐深情的乐音魅力下激发出灵感,Alison创作出了A Fine Frenzy的音乐──如催眠般的钢琴声安排在经典的美式旋律中融合成不可抗拒、自成一格的歌曲,用她浓郁深情的歌声传达到世界每一个角落。
歌词:
Almost Lover 无缘的恋人
Your fingertips across my skin
The palm trees swaying in the wind
Images
You sang me Spanish lullabies
The sweetest sadness in your eyes
Clever trick
你的指尖轻抚过我的肌肤
棕榈树在风中翩翩起舞
过去的情景又浮现在脑海中
听你轻唱着西班牙摇篮曲
在你的眼中闪烁是甜蜜的哀愁
聪明的把戏
Well...I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me
我从来不愿看到你悲伤的神情
我相信你也一样希望我快乐
Goodbye...my almost lover
Goodbye...my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be
So long...my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do [Chorus]
再见了?我无缘的恋人
再见了?我遥不可及的爱恋
我试着不再想起你
何不就让时间带走一切
永别了?我无法挽回的浪漫情愫
即使我不愿离你而去
也早该清楚你只会让我心痛
无缘的恋人总是如此
We walked along a crowded street
You took my hand and danced with me
Images
And when you left、you kissed my lips
You told me you would never、ever forget
These images
我们一起走过拥挤的街道
你牵起我的手翩翩起舞
过去的情景又浮现在脑海中
当你告别时轻吻我的嘴唇
你告诉我你永远永远不会忘记
往日的情怀
Well...I'd never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me
我从来不愿看到你悲伤的神情
我相信你也一样希望我快乐
Goodbye...my almost lover
Goodbye...my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be
So long...my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do [Chorus]
再见了?我无缘的恋人
再见了?我遥不可及的爱恋
我试着不再想起你
何不就让时间带走一切
永别了?我无法挽回的浪漫情愫
即使我不愿离你而去
也早该清楚你只会让我心痛
无缘的恋人总是如此
I cannot go to the ocean
I cannot drive the streets at night
I cannot wake up in the morning
Without you on my mind
So you're gone and I'm haunted
And I bet you are just fine
我再也无法回到昔日的海边
我再也无法行驶在夜晚的街道
我再也无法在清晨醒来
如果你从此消失在我的心中
但是你离开了我却还留在原地
我相信你一定能安然无事
Did I make it that easy
To walk right in and out
Of my life
而我是否能轻易地
将这段感情就此埋藏
在我的生命中
Goodbye...my almost lover
Goodbye...my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be
So long...my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do [Chorus]
再见了?我无缘的恋人
再见了?我遥不可及的爱恋
我试着不再想起你
何不就让时间带走一切
永别了?我无法挽回的浪漫情愫
即使我不愿离你而去
也早该清楚你只会让我心痛
无缘的恋人总是如此
