Garou / Stand Up

因為音樂劇Notre Dame de Paris走紅的Garou
在法國以其沙啞粗獷的嗓音而著稱
想當年除了讓他紅遍法國的Belle之外
我最愛的就是超級催淚彈Je N'attendais Que Vous


接連三張法文錄音室專輯讓Garou在法國奠定天王般的地位
也讓他有發行一張英文專輯以進軍國際的念頭
這張英文專輯找來許多知名的詞曲製作人跨刀
包括Rob Thomas以及曾替Robbie Williams譜寫的Guy Chambers
製作人Peer Astrom則替Madonna和Jennifer Lopez抓刀過
(眉批: 好奇怪的選擇? Garou想唱Hang Up還是Hold It Don't Drop It?)

首波單曲Stand Up於上週正式曝光，是一首相當夠勁的搖滾勁曲
Garou的聲音唱這種搖滾歌真適合，有點Daughtry的味道
另外他的英文咬字也沒有我預期中的糟，勉強還算OK


至於專輯中的另一波曝光曲Accidental聽起來則是相當US friendly的中慢板搖滾曲
這首歌聽起來也蠻有單曲像的，所以不意外的話應該會被當作第二首單曲



Garou / Accidental

We're all angels that fall from grace
So you don't have to hide
your face from me
It's the burden you won't lay down
It's the guilt that you carry around

You can see it coming
But somehow you can't seem to avoid it
Avoid this

Life is accidental and
Things happen coincidentally
I never meant to hurt you
You never meant to hurt me
But we all get our hands a little dirty

Nanana dirty
Nanana

Let it out and let me inside
Tell me things that you feel you need to hide
All your secrets
can't be worse than mine
So come closer and hold me tight

Do you feel the poison running
From your veins into an empty nothing, nothingness

Life is accidental and
Things happen coincidentally
I never meant to hurt you
You never meant to hurt me
But we all get our hands a little dirty

Nanana dirty
Nanana

Don't be down, just look around
There's no one perfect in this town
Don't beat yourself up like everyone else does
Just turn around
Goodbye feeling, all guilts turn around
Turn around
Do you know that

Life is accidental and
Things happen coincidentally
I never meant to hurt you
You never meant to hurt me
But we all get our hands a little dirty
