安靜地，流動著

i wanted you to know
the beauty of the way that we are living
as people come and go
they always leave us with something

it may not be so good
but we got marks
we can keep
and yes we got away
cause you will find
we're still here

why do you look so strange?
i always thought of you
as being one of us so it must be true
why do you look so strange?
i always thought of you
as being one of us

i wanted you to know
the beauty of the way that we are losing
we'll keep an open space
there's always room for that someone
or just anyone

what's here and what is good
we will throw away some day
and in times of looking back
you will find
you're like me

why do you look so strange?
i always thought of you
as being one of us so it must be true
why do you look so strange?
i always thought of you
as being one of us

＊Club 8成立至今最完美專輯，2003全新力作，集七年心血昇華再前進，小白兔台灣獨家代理發行！

澄澈，水晶般透明無瑕，是Club 8微泛虹彩暈的色澤；平易近人的旋律內蘊靈動的感性，是他們觸人心絃的特質。這個一男一女的瑞典組合，總能熨貼受傷的情感。纖甜呢喃的女主唱Karolina Komstedt輕聲細訴著種種故事，沒有激情，卻多了一份釋懷似的遙想；Johan Angergard的器樂編排溫存而低調，配合著歌聲迴盪，淡雅的氣氳彌漫著空間，承受這樣清恬的聽覺，總讓人連心胸都開闊了起來。Club 8在安撫你的同時，還能體貼地迴避著內心深處，盛滿幽悒絕望的潘朵拉之盒。

“這張專輯是Club 8至今最好的作品，說是經典也不為過“。行事低調的Johan經營獨樹一格的瑞典清新廠牌Labrador，總是三言兩語簡單地介紹精心製作/發行的專輯，在這張Strangely Beautiful甫一發行的同時，看到這樣信心十足的介紹，不難看出Johan是如何認真地製作，並且對Strangely Beautiful寄予厚望。

經過了七年的歷煉，Club 8脫離了青澀純真的少年情懷，掌握音樂的層次也更加提升。在這張Strangely Beautiful裡面，多樣的音樂風格不一而足：When Lights Go Out是典型的Saint Etienne式靦靦電氣音響；Stay by My Side低迴縹緲；Between Walking and Sleeping是難得的吉他演奏，耽美得令人心碎；This is the Morinig精簡的醇甜，餘韻無窮；俏皮可愛的The Next Thing You’ll Take裡Karolina游刃有餘的輕鬆詮釋，讓人直想奔向湖邊野餐；Johan則在Saturday Night Engine裡熱力十足的玩起搖滾味十足的synth-pop旋轉花車。

總體來說這張專輯的每首歌曲都有清晰的定調，在一貫溫暖的調性之下各有風格，不論是舊雨新知，都不能錯過這張Club 8的全新力作：Strangely Beautiful。
