Sleeps with Butterflies - Tori Amos


這首歌出自於Tori Amos 2005的專輯,"the beekeeper."

她是我最喜歡的歌手之一,她的歌旋律都很美,像是對你訴說一段故事,本身的音色也很獨特,非常有穿透力,很能感動人心。情感時而強烈,卻不是以雄厚的音色,高亢的吶喊去震撼你,時而溫柔,卻仍感到那份溫柔中的堅定。 這首"sleeps with butterflies"音樂一下去,既使前首歌你還聽著熱鬧的搖滾或重金屬,馬上就讓你溶入河岸午后斜陽映射的熠熠光芒之中,非常地美麗而平靜。旋律雖是這麼慵懶,但歌詞內容確是非常綿密而真切的情感,她的歌詞總是要讓我看好幾遍才能了解文字的喻意,一方面語言有隔閡,一方面她的確是用滿多譬喻,轉化修辭,但了解之後再配著音樂聽,真的很難不為他的才華著迷。
她是一個才華洋溢,細膩,情感豐沛的詞曲創作家,歌手,若你也喜歡她,一定要繼續支持,喜愛她的音樂。



"Sleeps With Butterflies"

Airplanes
Take you away again
Are you flying
Above where we live
Then I look up a glare in my eyes
Are you having regrets about last night
I'm not but I like rivers that rush in
So then I dove in
Is there trouble ahead
For you the acrobat
I won't push you unless you have a net

You say the word
You know I will find you
Or if you need some time
I don't mind
I don't hold on
To the tail of your kite
I'm not like the girls that you've known
But I believe I'm worth coming home to
Kiss away night
This girl only sleeps with butterflies
With butterflies
So go on and fly then boy

Balloons
Look good from on the ground
I fear with pins and needles around
We may fall then stumble
Upon a carousel
It could take us anywhere

I'm not like the girls that you've known
But I believe I'm worth coming home to
Kiss away night
This girl only sleeps with butterflies
With butterflies
With butterflies
So go on and fly boy
