Dido---thank you

 

 

 

My tea's gone cold,
I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all
the morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all
And even if I could it'd all be grey,
but your picture on my wall
it reminds me that it's not so bad
it's not so bad


I drank too much last night,
got bills to pay
my head just feels in pain
I missed the bus and there'll be hell today
I'm late for work again
and even if I'm there,
they'll all imply that I might not last the day
and then you call me and it's not so bad
it's not so bad and


I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life


Push the door,
I'm home at last and I'm soaking through and through
then you handed me a towel and all I see is you
and even if my house falls down now, I wouldn't have a clue
because you're near me and


I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life


I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life

Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life

      Dido是一位创作型歌手。从她那敏锐的笔触下，歌词如泉水一般汩汩流出，时而朴实自然，时而欢欣愉悦；时而如清泉流过山涧，时而又似万流奔腾入海。她的创作源泉好似永不枯竭一般，让她驰骋于各种曲风领域而游刃有余。同时Dido具有天籁般的嗓音。她那高亢嘹亮的歌喉足以与Sinead O’Connor 媲美，但她又不同于Sinead O’Connor.因为Dido的嗓音还具有麻痹、沙哑、慵懒的一面。她那高亢嘹亮的声音让你兴奋不已，同时她那慵懒麻痹的声音听似有气无力，但却让你感到如此轻松惬意，无拘无束。《Thank you》便属于这一类。

  歌曲一开始是一阵轻快的鼓点，像从空旷的原野上飘来的，颇具原始的韵味，接着便传来Dido那麻痹而略显慵懒的声音。一个失恋女子的痛苦不经意间就从她的口中娓娓唱来。歌曲讲述了一个失恋女子在爱人离去后是如何的痛苦不堪：生活没有了阳光，天空乌云密布，整日沉浸于酒精的麻痹中，浑浑噩噩，但脑子里仍然装满了爱人的影子。后来爱人回心转意，回到了她身边，她又顿时感到阳光普照，只要能同爱人在一起，即使整个世界都毁灭了她也不会在意的。不知道你在听了这首歌的时候，会不会在歌中找到自己的影子，也许吧。不过这都不是最重要的，因为All we need is Dido’s cool music.

《Thank you》作为Dido 的成名作，还曾被Elton John 在格莱美的颁奖晚会上翻唱。这足见这首歌的魅力。当你的耳朵听腻了在流水线上生产出来的粗俗音乐时，当你渴望用另一种别具一格的声音把你的耳朵叫醒时，你不妨听一听Dido的这首《Thank you》。
