《Daydreamer》

2008年才20岁的Adele生於英国Tottenham,自幼受爵士乐薰陶,如Ella Fitzgerald和Etta Jame都是她陪伴她成长的“音乐老师”。早于14岁已开始作曲,及后毕业于著名表演艺术学府BRIT School,亦即于Kate Nash、Amy Winehouse和Katie Melua等人份属校友。毕业后曾跟随不少音乐人作巡演乐手,如Jamie T、Amos Lee和Keren Ann等。
2007年底分别推出了两张细碟《Hometown Glory》和《Chasing Pavements》,直至首张专辑《19》的上市,用19纪念她的19岁。尽管年纪轻轻,但她的唱腔并不幼嫩,混合骚灵的技巧及具爆发力的演译,唱功不容忽视。有人认为她的声线像Dusty Springfield和Jill Scott,那略带低沉而沙哑的嗓子颇适合唱爵士和蓝调。
据她所说这张专辑是关于18至19岁年青人的爱情,是一张比较失落的唱片。但从单曲《Chasing Pavements》和《Hometown Glory》的旋律中,渗透出的成熟韵味。
喜欢写诗的她,在写歌词的时候亦有渗进其中,尽显才情,她是个有着灵性和才情的女歌手,在她的音乐之外,更能看出她细腻和成熟的思想。外形并不出众,胖胖的她却有着一种很迷人的气质,我无法说她是美丽的,但她肯定是感性的。
Daydreamer, sittin’ on the seat
Soaking up the sun he is a
Real lover, makin’ up the past and feeling up his girl like he’s never felt her figure before
Her joy (..?)
Looks good when he when he walks, he is the subject of their talk
He would be hard to chase, but good to catch and he could change the world with his hands behind his back, Oh…
You can find him sittin’ on your doorstep
Waiting for the surprise
It will feel like he’s been there for hours
And you can tell that he’ll be there for life
Daydreamer, with eyes that make you melt
He lends his coat for shelter because he’s there for you when he shouldn’t be
But he stays all the same, waits for you and then sees you through
There’s no way I could describe him
All I say is, just what I’m hoping for
But I will find him sittin’ on my doorstep
Waiting for the surprise
It will feel like he’s been there for hours
And I can tell he’ll be there for life
And I can tell he’ll be there for life
