Maria Arredondo 《catch me if I fall》
Maria Arredondo，1985年七月六日降生于挪威的文内斯拉（Vennesla）小镇。和很多出色的歌手一样，Maria从很小的时候便显露了过人的音乐天赋。她的母亲说她是“从会走路的那天起，就会唱歌了”。她从10岁起就开始参加地区的各种歌唱比赛，成绩颇佳。她用了两年时间慢慢寻找自我风格，然后签订了自己的唱片合同。她可以唱各种各样的歌，从慢而深情的“Cross Every River"到疯狂有力的快歌如“Mad Summer”。是个跨过古典和流行界的歌手。
她的第一张同名专辑请来了诸如Jonas von Der Burg, Espen Lind, 这样的大牌制作人。作曲者也是水准很高，Christian Ingebrigtsen，Silje Nergaard等都为她操刀动笔。这张专辑甫一出世，就在挪威最大的报纸的音乐版上获得了最高的评价。它的销量是白金。第一首单曲“Can let go”于2002年5月推出，名叫她的第3首单曲，与Christian Ingebrigtsen合唱的“In love with an angel”空降冠军，同样是白金销量。Maria的嗓子有些象流行天后Mariah Carey,但是比后者要稍微男性一点点。我认为Maria的声线非常好，性感但不做作，有力但不炫耀，明亮但不过分照人。她的低音很沉，很女人但是又很自立，高音千回百转，闻之泪下。汗，我对她确实是一见钟情的喜欢。。只听了一句歌就疯狂迷上了她。推荐她的Burning！！非常棒的曲子。。。诱惑力，爱情，妖娆的盘绕让人无法拒绝。另一首歌Cross Every River，MTV拍得可爱之至。可是听她在那里唱“I will climb every mountain if it could bring you back to me...I will part every ocean I will catch every stars,I will cross every river to be right where you are...”感动，真的只能说感动。
Ooh I need someone to hold me
I need someone to take my hand
Who always understands
You will never that someone
Who''s always by my side
To shelter me with pride
I will keep searching till I''ve found
Someone who never lets me down
Someone to catch me if I fall
To see me through it all
Someone to depend upon
I can always call
Someone who makes me strong
Who shows me right from wrong
Someone always standing tall
Someone who will catch me if I fall
I need you to protect me
Instead of begging me to stay
You''re pushing me away
Time to end this disillusion
I need to find out for myself
Before I cry for help
Until I find someone who cares
Someone who''ll always will be there
Yeah
Someone to catch me if I fall
To see me through it all
Someone to depend upon
I can always call
Someone who makes me strong
Who shows me right from wrong
Someone always standing tall
Someone who will catch me if I fall
I know you think I''m on the run
But I''m just looking for the one
Who''ll catch me if I fall
Who''ll see me through it all
Someone to depend upon
I can always call
Someone who makes me strong
Who shows me right from wrong
Someone always standing tall
Someone who will catch me if I fall
