美國女人

American woman, stay away from me 美國女人, 閃遠一點

American woman, mama let me be 美國女人, 放過我吧

Don't come hanging around my door 別來我家門口閒晃

I don't want to see your face no more 我不想再看到你的臭臉

I got more important things to do 我有更重要的事情要做

Than spend my time growin' old with you 比起浪費時間跟你白頭偕老

帥爆!!

我把愛做給你

Close your eyes, make a wish, and blow out the candlelight

老傢伙們要來台灣開演場會瞭, 真遺憾, 沒錢啊!!

Boyz II Men / I'll Make Love to You

Close your eyes, make a wish

And blow out the candlelight

For tonight is just your night

We're gonna celebrate, all thru the night

Pour the wine, light the fire

Girl your wish is my command

I submit to your demands

I'll do anything, girl you need only ask

I'll make love to you

Like you want me to

And I'll hold you tight

Baby all through the night

I'll make love to you

When you want me to

And I will not let go

Till you tell me to

Girl relax, let's go slow

I ain't got nowhere to go

I'm just gonna concentrate on you

Girl are you ready, it's gonna be a long night

Throw your clothes on the floor

I'm gonna take my clothes off too

I made plans to be with you

Girl whatever you ask me you know I'll do

Baby tonight is your night

And I will do you right

Just make a wish on your night

Anything that you ask

I will give you the love of your life

Jam 2.0

轉貼自.. 八個人，五項樂器，四大洲，三種語言，一首歌 － Jam 2.0

這個世界太廣大了，廣大到我們根本不認識世界另外一頭的人說著什麼樣的語言、過著什麼樣的生活。可是，有一種方式可以連結全球人，它叫做網路。有一種語言大家都聽得懂，它叫做音樂。

今天要跟大家分享一個MV，這首歌叫做Jam 2.0。（其實這MV半年前就已經拍成，還上了CNN，我到今天才看到，實在是Lag太大；但不跟大家分享又實在太可惜了。）

八個人，五項樂器，四大洲，三種語言，一首歌－－這首歌由CAIN MOSNI（應是一個搞互動媒體的創業公司？）發想，由Dumbfoundead主Rap，集結全世界音樂人跨網路即興Live Jam，實在太酷了。

我的感想: 女聲vocal好酷

Dumbfounded / Jeam 2.0

A kid at the pawn shop just bought his first drum machine,

From the slums, but them buttons will take him to another kingdom

A woman humming in a kitchen in brazil, while 50 tenants listen by

sticking their heads outside the window sill, this shit is real, hear

the sounds across the land, no name brands, woman and man jam on pots

and pans, a musician with lost dreams, sitting on concrete, playing

his heart out on missing guitar strings, street performers for a

quarter put on the show of there life, an emcee gets put on the spot

rocks it and tears up the mic, the human instrument, reaching

continents in long distances, no need for sophisticated systems for us

to listen in, countries at war, expressing hate through there

aggression. while two musicians on each side are having a jam session,

whether both em know it or not, they are collaborating. You never know

which way your music is navigating,

Esna

Sing your heart out let your soul be heard

Move to the rhythm to the groove of the drum beats

Chill to the lines disappear to the moment

Fly away persuade all the madness

Just bounce just sway just listen

Herbal T

La música es un sonido supersónico

y es por eso que no creo lo que leo en el periódico

presenta un mundo dividido y tóxico

pero ahora por los cables fiberópticos

yo me comunico, así el mundo se pone chico

si no me entiendes yo te lo explico

whether you in the Bronx and you like to spit bars and rock clubs

or Mumbai playin sitars and tablas

the music is a way we escape, heal and grow

and you aint gotta speak the language if you wanna feel the flow

olha só rapaz, a gente vai a gente vem

mas o ritmo é coisa todo mundo sempre tem

tudo bem, faço música com colaboradores globais

utilizando piano voces tambores e mais

es un laso que nos une hasta el infinito

the rhythms in us it travels wherever we go

Esna

Just let the music take you let your mind take you

Way to find a way to need a way to a brighter day

Don't let it stop in you don't let it die in you

Breath just breath

Just fly away persuade all the madness

Just bounce just sway just listen

Dumbfoundead

Across the seas I hear piano keys playin, translating languages

through the rhythms in beats bangin, a universal exchange, of personal

pains and joys, it started with a verse, each person just came and

joined in, some are complete strangers, some only teenagers, all of us

creators, , we are the dreammakers, internationally transmittin

through bandwidth, passin this bands passion so the masses can jam

with us, all are invited to play, none are required to pay, let the

virus spread, inspire heads, go pirate away, this is that free music,

for people who need music, just listen and breathe to it, I hope that

you feel movement, different souls around globe, connected through

sound makin, they set the foundation now we take it to groundbreakin,

everybody played there part and now we have one song, and this is how

an unheard voice becomes strong

Sing your heart out let your soul be heard

Move to the rhythm to the groove of the drum beats

Chill to the lines disappear to the moment

Fly away persuade all the madness

Just bounce just sway just listen

I'll be there with a love that's strong

I'll be your strength

I'll keep holding on

Let me fill your heart with joy and laughter

Togetherness, well it's all I'm after

Just call my name and I'll be there

I'll be there to protect you

With unselfish love that respects you

Just call my name and I'll be there

If you should ever find someone new

Sayin' give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right

Sayin' let's get together and feel all right

Let them all pass all their dirty remarks (One Love)

There is one question I'd really like to ask (One Heart)

Is there a place for the hopeless sinner

Who has hurt all mankind just to save his own?

Believe me

One Love, One Heart

As it was in the beginning (One Love)

So when the Man comes there will be no no doom (One Song)

Have pity on those whose chances grove thinner

There ain't no hiding place from the Father of Creation

我準備好惹

Tell me what is enough

to prove that i'm ready...

Indie Arie / Ready for Love

I am ready for love
Why are you hiding from me
I'd quickly give my freedom
To be held in your captivity

I am ready for love
All of the joy and the pain
And all the time that it takes
Just to stay in your good grace
Lately I've been thinking
Maybe you're not ready for me
Maybe you think I need to learn maturity
They say watch what you ask for
Cause you might receive
But if you ask me tomorrow
I'll say the same thing

I am ready for love
Would you please lend me your ear?
I promise I won't complain
I just need you to acknowledge I am here

If you give me half a chance
I'll prove this to you
I will be patient, kind, faithful and true
To a man who loves music
A man who loves art
Respect's the spirit world
And thinks with his heart

I am ready for love
If you'll take me in your hands
I will learn what you teach
And do the best that I can

I am ready for love
Here with an offering of
My voice, my eyes, my soul, my mind
Tell me what is enough
To prove I am ready for love

Indie Arie

Troubled little angel
Inconsistent...
flying blind most of the time
Drama queen

Preening and untanglin'
Feathers in her wings
Captured by her dreams
Desperately she sings

Needy little baby
Open up your heart
Don't you be afraid to feel
Needy little baby
Hidin' deep inside
Don't you know your love can heal

Troubled little angel
Inconsistent
Flying blind most of the time
Don't know who to be [yeah]
Always rearranging the wreckage of her life
Ever holding tight to the hope that she'll be free

Needy little baby
Open up your eyes
Don't you be afraid to feel
Needy little baby
Hidin' deep inside
Don't you know your love can heal

I'm talking to you angel
Angel
Deep inside of me
I'm talking to you angel

這個清淡很多
Gerald Levert / Mr. Too Damn Good


Guess you never know a good thing
When it's right in your face
You've been abused for so long
Love gets tainted and it all seems the same
I guess it's unbelievable
Someone could love you like this
Well time ain't no object and money ain't a thing
When you hurt, someone to ease the pain

Wanna be the smile on your face
And be your stars and your moon
I wanna be your sunny day
Can I be your favorite tune
I wanna be your breakfast in bed
And baby I'll be your fool
Mr. Too Damn Good to you

Yes sir, hmm
You've been hurt so many times
You don't know when lovees for real
So you don't open up
Or give in to love
Or express how you feel, uh uh, no
But just like Sunday morning
I'll take it easy
Girl I'm gonna wait
Cause love it just ain't right
Without you by my side
Baby, you're my soul mate

Baby I'll open doors
Be there for you any time
Cause that's what your man's supposed to do
I wanna cook for you, I will spoil you
Girl my whole objective is to please you
I'll run your bubble bath, make you laugh
Girl, through thick and thin I've got your back, yeah
I ain't gon' be pressine you or stressine you to make love
We got so much time for that

Wanna be the smile on your face
And be your stars and your moon
I wanna be your sunny day
Can I be your favorite tune
I wanna be your breakfast in bed
And baby I'll be your fool
Mr. Too Damn Good to you

Baby, baby, I wanna be your shoulder
When you need one to cry on, umm-hmm yeah
I wanna be your pillow when you need one to lie on
I wanna be the spot light that shines on ya
Girl I wanna write "the girl is mine" on ya, yes I am
I wanna be your thought in your daydreams
I wanna be your everything, your everything
(Mr. Too Damn Good to you)
I wanna be everything you ever thought you wanted
(Mr. Too Damn Good to you)
Ever needed baby, yeah
Girl I wanna shout about it
You wanna tell the world about it
(Mr. Too Damn Good to you)
And can't nobody else believe it
You'll have everything you needed, yeah, yeah
(Mr. Too Damn Good to you)
I'm gonna be so so so good to you, baby

沒什麼特別, 另一首好聽的拔辣歌而已




聲音超像 babyface
Tony Rich / Nobody Knows





I pretended I'm glad you went away
These four walls closing more everyday
And I'm dying inside
And nobody knows it but me
Like a clown, I put on a show
The pain is real even if nobody knows
And I'm crying inside
And nobody knows it but me

Why didn't I say
The things I needed to say
How could I let my angel get away
Now my world is tumbling down
I can say it so clearly
But you're nowhere around

The nights are lonely
The days are so sad
And I just keep thinking about
The love that we had
And I'm missing you
And nobody knows it but me

I carry a smile when I'm broken in two
And I'm nobody without someone like you
I'm trembling at night and
Nobody knows it but me
I lie awake it's a quarter past three
I'm screaming at night as if
I thought you'd hear me
Yeah my heart is calling you
And nobody knows it but me

How blue can you get?
You could ask my heart
But like a jigsaw puzzle
It's been torn all apart
A million words couldn't say
Just how I feel
A million years from now you know
I'll be loving you still

The nights are lonely
The days are so sad
And I just keep thinking about
The love that we had
And I'm missing you
And nobody knows it but me

Tomorrow morning I'm hitting
The dusty road
Gonna find you wherever
Ever you might go
I'm gonna unload my heart and hope
You come back to me
Said when the nights are lonely...

The nights are lonely
The days are so sad
And I just keep thinking about
The love that we had
And I'm missing you
And nobody knows it but me

...where my poor restless heart's gotta run

Stevie Wonder / A Place in the Sun

Like a long lonely stream

I keep runnin' towardas a dream

Movin' on, movin' on

Like a branch on a tree

I keep reachin' to be free

Movin' on, movin' on.

'Cause there's a place in the sun

Where there's hope for ev'ryone

Where my poor restless heart's gotta run

There's a place in the sun

And before my life is done

Got to find me a place in the sun

Like an old dusty road

I get weary from the load

Movin' on, movin' on

Like this tired troubled earth

I've been rollin' since my birth

Movin' on, movin' on

'Cause there's a place in the sun

Where there's hope for ev'ryone

Where my poor restless heart's gotta run

There's a place in the sun

And before my life is done

Got to find me a place in the sun
