Mr. Hudson - Picture Of You

(2008-12-06 15:24:20) 下一個

Mr Hudson & The Library 是英國的一個年輕的搖滾樂隊,其中成員Ben Hudson 是牛津大學畢業的, 他的聲音有些像Sting。我最開始是被他那首《Tears》吸引的,一天一個朋友的手機響了,就是Mr Hudson 的《tears》,我聽到歌曲的開頭,我就說,哇,太好聽了,嗓音也很特別, 趕快告訴我歌手的名字, 就這樣喜歡上他的歌了。




Picture Of You
by Mr. Hudson and the Library

Verse 1:

Its always the sunny days that bring me down
When I'm reminded that you're not around
Friends try and fail to make me smile
But I had the answer with me all the while

Chorus:

I've got a picture of you, wherever I go
A sweet reminder from you to me, that I'm never alone

Verse 2:

Should time bring me fame or a touch of bling
Imagine that, getting paid to sing
Keep your cars, cigars and frosted rings
Without you here, they just won't mean a thing

(Repeat Chorus 2x)

Sometimes at night, I wonder what your face is
Knowing I won't see you
No, there is no other face that could replace
The one that's got a look that could be you

(Repeat Chorus)
