Elisa / Stay

(Radio Play Only)

年初我曾經介紹過這位義大利的"孫燕姿"Elisa
她的精選輯Soundtrack '96-'06可以說是義大利上半年度最賣專輯
從發行至今一直在專輯榜Top20之間徘徊
最近因為降價促銷的關係竟然又讓這張專輯衝回冠軍
除了Elisa的歌真的支支動聽之外
唱片公司的宣傳策略也是讓這張專輯大賣的原因之ㄧ
這張精選輯中新歌完全只打電台，不發單曲
所以大家只好乖乖的去買專輯

首支單曲Gli Ostacoli Del Cuore由搖滾老將Luciano Ligabue譜寫並配唱
這首歌在聖誕節期間可以說是大街小巷全部都聽的到
雖然沒發單曲無法登上義大利單曲流行榜
但是在單曲下載榜上卻穩座數週冠軍


第二首單曲Eppure Sentire (Un Senso di Te)則是抒情搖滾曲風
在強力造勢下也拿到單曲下載榜亞軍的佳績


因為這張精選輯實在是賣太好了
唱片公司決定將這張精選輯重新包裝在國際上市
並將專輯名稱改為Caterpillar
同時也推出義大利第三首單曲，國際地區第一主打Stay
這首歌是精選輯四首新歌當中唯一的英文單曲
我個人相當喜愛這首歌，非常悲悽的歌詞在Elisa的嗓音下更動人


Elisa / Stay

You did not dare say a single word
I did not dare ask for something more
I've kept my questions secret deep inside
But I wish I could have let you know about
A time when I would have said

Wait, and please stay
Did you mean to push me away?
Please wait and just stay
Did you want it to be this way?

Would you want to know what I've been through?
(Through all this time... all this time)
Would you want to know I have missed you too
(And I have you on my mind)
And you've been and you will be a part of me
(That I can't find)
And you've been forgiven for your silence
All this time when I would have said

Wait, and please stay
Did you mean to push me away?
Please wait and just say
Is there a way that could replace
The times you never said
How've you been?
Do you need anything?
Want you to know I'm here?
Want you to feel me near?

Yeah...and I hope
I hope that you will find your way
Yeah...and I hope
I hope there will be better days

Please wait, and just stay
(Please stay)
Did you mean to push me away?
Please wait, and just stay
(Wait, just stay)
Did you want it to be this way?
Wait, please say
(Yeah, and I hope)
I hope that you will find your way
Please wait, and just stay
(Wait, and I hope)
I hope there will be better days

Hey hey...

Wait
Please stay
Just stay
Please wait



另外值得一提的是Elisa的舊歌Dancing
最近在So You Think You Can Dance節目中被使用
所以成為Elisa首度登上美國iTune下載榜的單曲
而這首歌也同時會成為Caterpillar專輯日本版的bonus track
