Nickel Creek,成立于1989年的一个乐队。吉他手 Sean Watkins,小提琴手 Sara Watkins 兄妹与曼陀林乐手Chris Thile 在草根音乐的纯朴中,注入古典乐的细腻质感,手中的乐器便是心情的随性涂抹,在午夜,低旋,盈溢…… Nickel Creek以原音吉它唱作重新拾起民谣音乐怡然、恬静的风情,传媒纷纷为Nickel Creek乐团挂上『蓝草音乐的复古主义家』、『听觉革新者』、『蓝草音乐青春世代』的称号。
吉他手Sean Watkins和他的妹妹Sara Watkins以及班卓琴/曼陀铃/布祖基琴演奏者Chris Thile三人在儿童时代就在老家圣地亚哥组成了Nickel Creek组合。在观看老牌蓝草组合Bluegrass Etc.的时候他们相遇了,一个年轻的蓝草组合诞生了。Chris Thile的父亲Scott担任乐队的贝司手。90年代他们活跃于蓝草圈子中,其间Chris Thile录制了两张个人专辑(Leading off…和Stealing second)。1998年借助Alison Krauss 的帮助,他们在Sugar Hill唱片公司签了和约。Alison Krauss制作了他们的首张同名专辑,虽然专辑被定位为蓝草风格,但是音乐中包含了古典,爵士,摇滚以及另类的元素。借助原声带O Brother, Where Art Thou?在格莱梅的成功,蓝草音乐重新复苏。在2002年早期,专辑卖出50万成为金唱片,也得到了格莱梅奖的提名。其间,Sean发行了自己第一张专辑Let It Fall,Chris Thile也发行了第三张唱片Not All Who Wander Are Lost.
When You Come Back Down"
You got to leave me now, you got to go alone You got to chase a dream, one that’s all your own Before it slips away When you’re flyin’ high, take my heart along I’ll be the harmony to every lonely song That you learn to play
When you’re soarin’ through the air I’ll be your solid ground Take every chance you dare I’ll still be there When you come back down When you come back down
I’ll keep lookin’ up, awaitin’ your return My greatest fear will be that you will crash and burn And I won’t feel your fire I’ll be the other hand that always holds the line Connectin’ in between your sweet heart and mine I’m strung out on that wire
And I’ll be on the other end, To hear you when you call Angel, you were born to fly, If you get too high I’ll catch you when you fall I’ll catch you when you fall
Your memory’s the sunshine every new day brings I know the sky is calling Angel, let me help you with your wings
When you’re soarin’ through the air I’ll be your solid ground Take every chance you dare
I’ll still be there When you come back down Take every chance you dare, I’ll still be there When you come back down When you come back down
When you come back down:有一些伤感的歌曲,Chris主唱,旋律演唱和声都很不错.
