Katie Melua/凯蒂·玛露芳龄19岁,生于前苏联的乔治亚共和国,成长于莫斯科、黑海、北爱尔兰及伦敦。小时梦想可以从政或成为史学家的她,就读英国表演艺术学校时被名音乐制作人Mike Batt（陈美、棒辣妹）慧眼发掘,签入独立厂牌DRAMATICO旗下。2003年底,首支单曲“The Closest Thing To Crazy”甫发行便强登英国金榜Top 10。不久,广获好评的首张专辑一举挤下英伦人气天后Dido/蒂朵、击退Norah Jones/诺拉琼斯,荣获6周英国金榜后座,成为英国2004开春迄今最畅销专辑。
声线兼备蓝调、民谣、爵士味道的Katie Melua,常被乐评拿来与诺拉琼丝相提并论。但她那相较甜美清澈的年轻嗓音,让人遥想起已逝的跨界流行爵士美声Eva Cassidy。而在被Mike Batt发掘的那天,Katie所演唱的正好就是受Eva启发而写下的创作曲“Faraway Voice”。此外,她也自承在音乐方面受到Queen、Joni Mitchell、Bob Dylan和印度音乐及爱尔兰民谣等多类乐风的影响.
LYRICS:
spider’s web
If a black man is racist, is it okay
When it’s the white man’s racism that made him that way
Because the bully’s the victim they say
By some sense they’re all the same
Because the line between
Wrong and right
Is the width of a thread
From a spider’s web
The piano keys are black and white
But they sound like a million colours in your mind
I could tell you to go to war
Or I could march for peace and fighting no more
How do I know which is right
And I hope he does when he sends you to fight
Because the line between wrong and right
Is the width of a thread from a spider’s web
The piano keys are black and white
But they sound like a million colours in your mind
Should we act on a blame
Or should we chase the moments away
Should we live
Should we give
Remember forever the guns and the feathers in time
Because the line between wrong and right
Is the width of a thread from a spider’s web
The piano keys are black and white
But they sound like a million colours in your mind
The piano keys are black and white
But they sound like a million colours in your mind
But they sound like a million colours in your mind
