夏日初语-英文歌曲：阳台上的甜蜜沉醉 On My Balcony

夏日初语：阳台上的甜蜜沉醉 On My Balcony¹

   近年一众挪威Downtempo Electronica组合纷纷涌现，闯进我的唱片架上，对Flunk这队一女二男组合印象颇深刻，因为他们的成名作，正是以电子民歌手法重玩New Order的83年经典Blue Monday，一个挺不俗的动听詮释。

    Morning Star是Flunk继《For Sleepyheads Only》后的第二张专辑，这次不但在2003年秋天移师至法国巴黎灌录，而录音地点，更是Hotel de Roubaix的酒店房间！

    在主题曲Morning Star里，Anja Oyen Vister的凄美主唱、Ulf Nygaad的迷魂Dubby电子曲式、Jo Bakke的简朴结他，Flunk的声音仍是如斯迷人美好。先行单曲On My Balcony来得轻鬆清爽，一首甚讨好的夏日情怀小品流行曲。某方面而言，这次他们来得较接近一支Indie-Pop乐队的气质（主要是Jo的结他弹奏 较凸出），而相对地减低了Electronica的成分。

    Everything Is Ending Here的爵士底蕴儼如一份糜烂的城市夜生活情怀。新尝试，是I've Been Waiting All My Life To Leave You的懒洋洋Country风情。

    上次改编New Order，今次则重玩了英国殿堂乐队The Kinks的1964年名曲All Day And All Of The Night，由Anja与Ulf合唱，而Flunk竟前所未有地Funky起来。

Artist:Flunk
Song:On My Balcony

Here comes summer

Beaming² in through my bedroom window

There's a song on the radio

You used to hum back then

Here comes summer

Still feels fresh as morning air

Today I'll just stay here

And do, well, whatever

I'll do whatever

Please, make summer last forever

All I wanna do
Is sit here on my balcony
And think about you and me
And how happy we could be

All I wanna do
Is sit here on my balcony
And think about you and me
And how happy we could be

Here comes summer
Picking flowers in the early hours
Without a care in the world
Except perhaps for bees and birds

Here comes summer
I guess I'll stick to my master plan
Stay away from sea and sand
And do, well, whatever

I'll do whatever
Please, make summer last forever

All I wanna do
Is sit here on my balcony
And think about you and me
And how happy we could be

All I wanna do
Is sit here on my balcony
And think about you and me
And how happy we could be

All I wanna do
Think about you
All I wanna do
Think about you.
