Dolores O'riordan《Ordinary Day》

The Cranberries乐队原女主唱Dolores O’Riordan 推出首张个人专辑,在她离开The Cranberries乐队之前她一直是该乐队的主唱,她在2003年离开了她待了十三年的乐队,开始了单独的歌手生涯。
这张名为《Are You Listening》由先行单曲《Ordinary Day》为其开道。这张专辑由Youth和Dan Brobeck联合制作完成。录制工作则全部安排在O’Riordan在加拿大和都柏林的家中。
The Cranberries乐队的上一张专辑《Wake up and smell the coffee》要追溯到2001年,当时乐队宣称他们大概将在2004年解散。在一份声明中,主唱Dolores说;“The Cranberries之后的时光是一块白板——没有压力也没有唱片合约。生命中的第一次,我完全自由了。我没有顾忌,这便是我最先开始音乐生涯时所拥有的感觉。在这里,一切都一目了然。”
“这张专辑唤醒了我的生命——一次我终于完成了的旅行。就好像是我跨过了一座桥,踏上了一个伟大的崭新的高原。我的生活和十年前相比完全不同,多了一种接纳包容的美妙感觉。再次发行音乐作品,这也是一段激动人心的时光。”这张专辑共收录了12首歌曲,推荐曲目包括《Apple of My Eye》、《Black Widow》、《In the Garden》、《Watch the Stars》和《Loser》。
作为家中七个孩子当中最小的一个,她在1990年曾经组建过一个名为the Cranberry Saw Us (后更名为The Cranberries)的乐队。
在1994年的7月18日,她嫁给了巡回演出经理Don Burton。

This is just an ordinary day

Far across the desert in the sky
Beautiful girl
Won't you be my inspiration?
Beautiful girl
Don't you throw your love around
What in the world, what in the world
Could ever come between us?
Beautiful girl, beautiful girl
I'll never let you down
Won't let you down
This is the beginning of your day
Life is more intricate than it seems
Always be yourself along the way
Living through the spirit of your dreams
Beautiful girl

I'll never let you down
Won't let you down
Down, down...
