第一眼看到India.Arie新專輯標題時，老實說我有點擔心
因為我比較喜歡聽India唱一些芭樂的心碎情歌
這麼"政治正確"的專輯名稱讓我擔心她會唱很多政治相關歌曲
不過，當我把CD放進player之後，卻讓我不想拿出來

Therapy和Ghetto的確是比較有社會現象的歌曲
但是編曲相當活潑，不會讓人有過度沉重的感覺
和Musiq Soulchild合作的首支單曲Chocolate High真是好聽
好復古又浪漫的情歌，有點回到80年代初期的感覺


和土耳其女歌手Sezen Aksu合作的The Cure則是
India.Arie最擅長的曲風，敘事性的歌詞加上有點悲悽的曲風


Long Goodbye是我覺得專輯中最芭樂的灑狗血情歌
應該蠻有機會被拿來當主打才對



India.Arie / Long Goodbye

I say I love you
You say that's kind
You don't wanna get too close
You loved me crazy
I lost my mind

Listen
You're everything I never wanted
and all the things I didn't need
This ain't who I wanna be

You don't have to stay forever
I'll take passion over pride
Full moon, high tide
Let's make it a long goodbye
Tomorrow we'll pick up the pieces
Try to mend our broken lives
Soft kiss, sweet lies
Let's make it a long goodbye

I cried in silence
I lived through you
I've given everything away
and maybe I can learn to fall
For someone who can give me all
The things I"m not afraid to lose

You don't have to stay forever
I'll take passion over pride
Full moon, high tide
Let's make it a long goodbye
Tomorrow we'll pick up the pieces
Try to mend our broken lives
Soft kiss, sweet lies
Let's make it a long goodbye

Whenever you see lonely faces
That's where I'll be
Don't cry for me, no no no
Don't cry for me
Don't cry for me no no no
I'll be okay

You don't have to stay forever
I'll take passion over pride
Full moon, high tide
Let's make it a long goodbye
Tomorrow we'll pick up the pieces
Try to mend our broken lives
......., sweet lies
Let's make it a long goodbye

You don't have to stay forever
I'll take passion over pride
Full moon, high tide
Let's make it a long goodbye

Tomorrow we'll pick up the pieces
Try to mend our broken lives
Soft kiss, sweet lies
Let's make it a long goodbye

Oh oh
Goodbye
Goodbye
