歌名：Elephants 演唱：Rachael Yamagata 專輯：Elephants... Teeth 　　　Into Sinking Heart 發行：2008.10 (U.S.) 　　　2008.11 (台版)

完蛋了!!不知不覺年底又要到了!!
照慣例又一堆歌手要搶在年底前發片了!!
今年又不知道要敗哪些歌手的專輯回家了?!
荷包看來又要不保了?!...不景氣啊!!!
但先撇開這個......
終於看到山形小姐發行她的第2張專輯了!!
最近也看到好多聽音樂的先進們
已經在部落格裡介紹Rachael Yamagata的新歌與新專輯
重點是
我聽了這首冷到極點的《Elephants》後
我也愛死了這首歌!!!

相隔了4年有餘之久
Rachael Yamagata終於推出了她的第2張新專輯
「Elephants... Teeth Sinking Into Heart」
而且還換了個新東家發行
好家在新東家也是國際大廠所以台灣會發行!!
聽說這次為了專輯風格的區分
還特意發行成雙CD的模式(一片10首/另一片5首)
該死的日盤又多了一首!!(這次應該不會浪費$$買日盤了...ˇ_ˇ)

重點是
首支主打單曲《Elephants》
乍聽真是冷到不行、簡直就像是催眠曲...(看我多沒格調ˇ_ˇ)
但乖乖聽個兩三回後
就愛死這首歌了...
唱得很淡卻是沉重得要命
用動物的本能來描寫感情破裂後自己是如何被慘忍??地對待
歌聲就像是被折磨到已經沒氣力的低吟...
真的是好聽極了!!
(但很不應該的是...我怎麼會聯想到冰大象步驟的冷猜謎?!)
(看我多沒品...XDD)

總之
我還蠻期待這張專輯的發行
鐵定會敗回家!!...呵呵!!

If the elephants have past lives
yet all destined to always remember
It's no wonder how they scream
Like you and I they must have some temper

And I am dreaming of them on the planes
Dirtying up their beds
Watching for some sign of rain to cool their hot heads

And how dare that you send me that card
when I am doing all that I can do
You are forcing me to remember
when all I want is to just forget you

If the tiger shall protect her young
then tell me how did you slip by
All my instincts have failed me for once
I must have somehow slept the whole night

And I am dreaming of them with their kill
Tearing it all apart
Blood dripping from their lips and teeth sinking into heart

And how dare that you say you'll call
When you know I need some peace of mind
If you have to take sides with the animals
Won't you do it with one who is kind

And if the hawks in the trees need the dead
If you're living you don't stand a chance
For a time though you share the same bed
There are only two ends to this dance

You can flee with your wounds just in time
or lie there as he feeds
Watching yourself ripped to shreds
and laughing as you bleed

So for those of you falling in love
Keep it kind, keep it good, Keep it right
Throw yourself in the midst of danger
but keep one eye open at night
