来自波士顿的Boys Like Girls,自2005年底组军到发行首张主流厂牌专辑才花了短短不到一年光景,成为与Fall Out Boy、Good Charlotte等团队相庭抗衡的新晋乐队。这四位充满青春创作力的大男孩,曾一度被《Spin》杂志的读者投票选为 “2006 Artist of the Year”。除了靠着精湛的现场演出实力外,过人的创作水准以及深厚的乐器弹奏根基,都是他们迅速致胜的关键。在其流行兼具朋克摇滚的新专辑《Love Drunk》中,有一首浪漫柔情之作——主唱Martin Johnson与近年人气高企的乡村民谣创作小天后Taylor Swift深情对唱的《Two Is Better Than One》。两人的声线配合度恰到好处,使得听惯Pop-Punk的乐迷也不禁陶醉一番……
Boys Like Girls(Featuring Taylor Swift)
I remember what you wore on the first day
You came into my life and I thought
“Hey, you know, this could be something.”
’Cause everything you do and words you say
You know that it all takes my breath away
And now I’m left with nothing
* So maybe it’s true, that I can’t live without you
And maybe two is better than one
There’s so much time, to figure out the rest of my life
And you’ve already got me coming undone
And I’m thinking, two is better than one *
I remember every look upon your face
The way you roll your eyes, the way you taste
You make it hard for breathing
’Cause when I close my eyes and drift away
I think of you and everything’s OK
I’m finally now believing
Repeat *
I remember what you wore on the first day
You came into my life
And I thought, “Hey…”
Maybe it’s true, that I can’t live without you
Maybe two is better than one
There’s so much time, to figure out the rest of my life
And you’ve already got me coming undone
And I’m thinking
Oooh I can’t live without you
’Cause baby two is better than one
There’s so much time, to figure out the rest of my life
And I’ve figured out when all is said and done
Two is better than one
我记得第一次见面时你的衣着打扮
你走进了我的生活,我想
“嘿,你也明白,这次有点不一样。”
因你的一举一动,一字一句
让我魂牵梦绕
如今我已一无所有
* 也许真是如此,我的生活不能没有你
也许两人总比一人好
探索余生,来日方长
但你已让我无力招架
我想,两人总比一人好 *
我记得你脸上的一颦一笑
你灵动的眼眸,你俏皮的嘴角
让人呼吸困难
因为当我闭上双眼,思绪飘零
我便想起你,一切烦恼远离
如今我终于相信
重复 *
我记得第一次见面时你的衣着打扮
你走进了我的生活,
我想,“嘿……”
也许真是如此,我的生活不能没有你
也许两人总比一人好
探索余生,来日方长
但你已让我无力招架
我在想
噢,我的生活不能没有你
因为亲爱的,两人总比一人好
探索余生,来日方长
当该做的都做了,我便明瞭
两人总比一人好
