午夜的天堂酒吧

今年最令人心碎的鄉村情歌終於出現了！

鄉村音樂在我聽西洋音樂的過程中比例佔的一直都不高
這幾年來除了Faith Hill / Tim McGraw夫婦倆以及LeAnn Rimes之外
我幾乎已經不太買鄉村專輯了（我連香奶娃的精選也沒買）
所以對於現在鄉村流行什麼都沒特別注意


沒想到最近看到BBS上有人推薦這首由
Brad Paisley和Alison Krauss對唱的Whiskey Lullaby才驚為天人
大概是我繼Faith Hill的Let Me Let Go之後聽到最心碎的鄉村情歌
而這首歌果然也不負眾望，在今年第40屆鄉村音樂獎上獲得
「Vocal Event of the Year」和「Video of the Year」兩項大獎
廢話不多說，趕緊送上這首動人的video




Brad Paisley & Alison Krauss / Whiskey Lullaby


She put him out like the burnin' end of a midnight cigarette
She broke his heart he spent his whole life tryin' to forget
We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind
Until the night


He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away her memory
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees
We found him with his face down in the pillow
With a note that said I'll love her till I die
And when we buried him beneath the willow
The angels sang a whiskey lullaby


(Sing lullaby)


The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself
For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath
She finally drank her pain away a little at a time
But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind
Until the night


She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away his memory
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength she had to get up off her knees
We found her with her face down in the pillow
Clinging to his picture for dear life
We laid her next to him beneath the willow
While the angels sang a whiskey lullaby


(Sing lullaby)
