[MTV欣赏] 【Vol.164】 ★Daniel Powter--Bad Day(独家中英字幕)★
 (Music Heaven) "Bad Day," the first single off Daniel Powter's small masterpiece of a debut disc, has been divebombing TV-watching Americans for months. Turn on "American Idol" and there it is, accompanying the latest axed contestant off the stage. Switch over to Showtime, and it's on promos for "Weeds." The VH1 video is inescapable. Yet nobody knows who the guy is (a 35-year-old French Canadian, it turns out), and attempts to compare him to other singers inevitably come up short. Powter is poppier than James Blunt, more substantial than Adam Levin, and way less hangdoggish than Train. He is--and there may be no flattering way of saying this--like the late-'70s pop king Leo Sayer: an elastic-voiced and enormously infectious singer who can make you feel like dancing in the space of a few deft keyboard plinks. Powter, the disc, has legs, too: "Bad Day" is as big a bummer as its title suggests compared with the all-out party that is "Jimmy Gets High." "Free Loop" chugs toward its vaguely sad station stop in the most ingratiating way possible, and "Song 6" sucks you in with a groove that won't soon stop doing loop-de-loops around your every thought. Powter to the people--it should have come a lot sooner. ============================================== ★歌词翻译: 流浪猫, haojie2021 and 1072419759★ ★最佳翻译: 流浪猫★ ★字幕制作&歌词定稿: AC★ ============================================== 在线视频 http://player.youku.com/player.php/sid/XMTkxNjcwMjY0/v.swf |
Where is the moment we needed the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
You tell me your blue skies fade to grey
You tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carryin' on
You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You're faking a smile with the coffee to go
You tell me your life's been way off line
You're falling to pieces everytime
And I don't need no carryin' on
Because you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
Well, you need a blue sky holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carryin' on
You had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
(Oh.. Holiday..)
Sometimes the system goes on the blink
And the whole thing turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know
That you could be well oh that strong
And I'm not wrong (ahhh...)
So where is the passion when you need it the most
Oh, you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
'Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You've seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
(Oh, yeah, yeaaah, yeah)
Had a bad day
(Oh, had a bad day)
Had a bad day
(Oh, yeah, yeah, yeeeeah)
Had a bad day
(Oh, had a bad day)
Had a bad day...
Had a bad day...
歌手及专辑简介
加拿大吟唱诗人Daniel Powter,这位集所有特殊风格、才华、以及天真和嘲讽于一身的北国青年人，首支单曲“Bad Day”如旋风般地在法国电台创下点播的奇迹，将近两个月蝉联榜首，更在法国当地造成一般DP（Daniel Powter)热潮。
“与众不同”是每个听过Daniel Powter首张同名专辑的人会有的第一个反应。“与众不同”并非意味着奇怪、诡异、古怪，而比较像是巧妙琢磨、前卫的流行乐。歌曲很吸引人，节奏具感染力、坚不可摧的和旋像钩子入你的脑袋里并且不放手。整张专辑的音乐是轻快活泼的，但Daniel Powter也特意展现立道优异的音乐技巧和古灵精怪的坦率。首张同名专辑将让你前面体验这位你不能古认识的音乐诗人。
DP是外表与内在兼备的全能歌手。钢琴的功力非常深厚，唱腔也有英国FEEL。新专辑的十首心情小品，军是他一手创作。正张专辑呈现了多元化的风貌，除了Bad Day曲风较具POP气味以外，除了都稍带灵魂乐风之外，又适当加入了PUMK等音乐元素，使每首歌都呈现出了极其个性化的“i nner ego”。值得一提的是。Daniel Powter驾奴自如的真假音切换，使每首歌曲跌荡起伏而不论单调，尤其是在描述谎言爱情的Lie To Me中，更是得一淋漓尽致的发挥。
首支主打Bad Day的MV描述的是一对相隔咫尺、却一直素不相识的男女，在各自生活中或喜或悲，并最终因为个性深处的切合而走进彼此的故事。而它又不仅仅是一出“向做走，向右走”的爱情小品，歌曲背后折射出来的现代人的生活观，则是可以使只意味深长的原因所在。
