[2007-1-15]经典舞曲Laura Branigan - Self Control



引用:




       
Self Control

Oh, the night is my world
City light, painted girl
In the day nothing matters
It’s the night time that flatters
In the night, no control
Through the wall something’s breaking
Wearing white as you’re walking
Down the street of my soul

You take my self, you take my self control
You got me living only for the night
Before the morning comes, the story’s told
You take my self, you take my self control

Another night, another day goes by
I never stop myself to wonder why
You help me to forget to play my role
You take my self, you take my self control

I live among the creatures of the night
I haven’t got the will to try and fight
Against a new tomorrow
So I guess I’ll just believe it
That tomorrow never comes

A safe night
I’m living in the forest of my dream
I know the night is not as it would seem
I must believe in something
So I’ll make myself believe it
That this night will never go

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh, the night is my world
City light, painted girl
In the day nothing matters
It’s the night time that flatters

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
You take my self, you take my self control...

歌手资料:1957年出生于纽约的女歌手萝拉布兰妮根(Laura Branigan)成名之前曾是加拿大诗人兼歌手Leonard Cohen的合音.1982年,一曲Gloria使罗拉名声大噪.此后五年间她受到全球性的欢迎,也是她的黃金年代。声音高亢、略沙哑又带奔放的Laura擅长以欧陆舞曲风格赋予旧曲新生命並且选曲上有独到的国际色彩,数首畅销曲都是以英文翻唱意大利歌曲像在美国拿下亚军的Gloria,Ti Amo,以及这首Self Control。她的许多歌曲我们都可以在其他歌手那里听到,如Michael Bolton 的 How Am I Supposed To Live Without You、Donna Summer 的亚军曲Dim All The Lights、电影【霹雳男儿】插曲Show Me Heaven、日后被Celine Dion 唱红的Power Of Love都是她的佳作.可惜Laura Branigan 于2004年因脑瘤在睡梦中去世,让我们再次聆听这首全球经典舞曲,缅怀80年代的巨星风采~
