Paula Cole - I Don't Want To Wait
來源: imeem-Nanette
今天連PO兩首1996年的歌曲,我都好愛ㄚ~~~~Paula Cole這首《I Don't Want To Wait》是1996年【This Fire】這張專輯的第二首主打歌曲,這張專輯是Paula Cole自行製作的專輯,是她個人第二張專輯,而她更因這張專輯在當年入圍了多項葛萊美提名,包含最佳製作人的提名(這是葛萊美有紀錄以來第二位入圍最佳製作人的女製作人),雖然沒有拿下這項大獎,仍獲得當年度最佳新進藝人(其實她1992年就出道啦><),算是遲來的鼓勵吧!總之,這首歌也是我的上上之選,之前替米媽、倫媽、文子媽選歌時很想卡進去...但是實在沒有機會~~而且也是沒有SPn fanvid啊,忍不住就單獨介紹啦!!!
Paula Cole【1996】This Fire
Paula Cole的voice是非常特別的次女高音(Mezzo-Soprano),但是曲風卻是當代成人搖滾,所以當初這首歌一出真的是讓我驚艷ㄚ,還記得當時TVBS-G的西洋大樂兵節目,Johnny就非常推崇這首歌曲,那時候因為這個節目也聽了好多好棒的西洋歌曲(我老了...又開始懷舊了><)

So open up your morning light
And say a little prayer for I
You know that if we are to stay alive
And see the peace in every eye
She had two babies
One was six months, one was three
In the war of '44
Every telephone ring
Every heartbeat stinging
When she thought it was God calling her
Oh, would her son grow to know his father?
I don't want to wait for our lives to be over
I want to know right know
What will it be?
I don't want to wait for our lives to be over
Will it be "yes" or will it be "sorry"?
He showed up all wet
On the rainy front step
Wearing shrapnel in his skin
And the war he saw
Lives inside him still
It's so hard to be gentle and warm
The years passed by
And now he has granddaughters
I don't want to wait for our lives to be over
I want to know right know
What will it be?
I don't want to wait for our lives to be over
Will it be "yes" or will it be "sorry"?
Oh, so you look at me from across the room
You're wearing your anguish again
Believe me, I know the feeling
It sucks you into the jaws of anger
Oh, so dig a little more deeply into my life
All we have is the very moment
And I don't want to do
What his father and his father and his father did
I want to be here now
So open up your morning light
And say a little prayer for I
You know that if we are to stay alive
And see the peace in every eye
I don't want to wait for our lives to be over
I want to know right know
What will it be?
I don't want to wait for our lives to be over
Will it be "yes" or will it be "sorry"?
I don't want to wait for our lives to be over
I want to know right know
What will it be?
I don't want to wait for our lives to be over
Will it be "yes" or will it be "sorry"?
So open up your morning light
And say a little prayer for I
You know that if we are to stay alive
And see the love in every eye
