Eva Cassidy1963年2月2日，Eva Cassidy出生於美国马里兰州，在她的生活里充满著艺术与音乐，而民歌与爵士是他们家族最热爱的音乐类型，在Eva Cassidy的音乐当中，元素从民谣、乡村、爵士、到流行与摇滚都有，不过，总算在1996年出了她的第一张专辑【Live At Blues Alley / 後街蓝调】，这是一张现场演唱的专辑，收录当时Cassidy在「Blue Alley」这家俱乐部实况演出的作品，虽然她不是很满意自己的表现，但是这张专辑在华府一带得到了很大的回响。
I hear the drizzle of the rain
Like a memory it falls
Soft and warm continuing
Tapping on my roof and walls.
And from the shelter of my mind
Through the window of my eyes
I gaze beyond the rain-drenched streets
To England where my heart lies.
My mind's distracted and diffused
My thoughts are many miles away
They lie with you when you're asleep
And kiss you when you start your day.
And as a song I was writing is left undone
I don't know why I spend my time
Writing songs I can't believe
With words that tear and strain to rhyme.
And so you see I have come to doubt
All that I once held as true
I stand alone without beliefs
The only truth I know is you.
And as I watch the drops of rain
Weave their weary paths and die
I know that I am like the rain
There but for the grace of you go I. |
