傻小花有話要說

 

Nelly幾年前的專輯"Nellyville"在美國大賣
當時的單曲"Hot in Here"真的是紅到不行
之後他與天命真女當中的Kelly Roland合唱的"Dilemma"也是紅遍大街小巷
當時還住在美國的我
不知道有多少個晚上都會聽到路邊開過的車上放著這首歌
(美國很多人喜歡把車子裡面的音響改裝的很好 然後大聲地放著音樂)
去年Nelly則推出Suit及Sweat兩張專輯
老實說個人並不是Nelly的歌迷
所以一直到最近在電視上看到今天要介紹的這首"N Dey Say"的MV 才去找來聽完整的版本
這首歌的旋律非常好聽 有一點舒服 又略帶著一點憂愁
我跟男友幫這類的歌取了個分類叫做MeloMelo
代表聽起來有點憂鬱的感覺 但又不是那種灑狗血的濫情歌曲
後來查過歌詞後
發現這首歌的歌詞還滿有意義的
歌詞裡面大概講了兩段故事
結論就是要人活著要堅強
不要輕易向命運低頭
特別跟大家說一下這首歌裡面有很多"黑話"
不要太計較文法的正確性
而歌名"N Dey Say"其實就是And They Say的意思
在這邊跟大家分手這首歌的歌詞
我最近聽到這首歌特別有感覺...或許是有點反映出自己的心境吧~
很好聽的一首歌 跟大家分享
