音乐咖啡厅:Pocketful Of Sunshine 洒满阳光的夏日午后

Artist：Natasha Bedingfield
Song：Pocketful Of Sunshine

I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine.
I got a love, and I know that it's all mine.
Oh, oowhoaoh.

Do what you want, but you're never gonna break me.
Sticks and stones are never gonna shake me.
Oh, oowhoaoh.

Take me away! A secret place!
A sweet escape¹! Take me away!
Take me away! To better days.
Take me away! A hiding place!

I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine.
I got a love, and I know that it's all mine.
Oh, oowhoaoh.

Do what you want, but you're never gonna break me.
Sticks and stones are never gonna shake me.
Oh, oowhoaoh.

I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine.
I got a love, and I know that it's all mine.
Oh, oowhoaoh.

Wish that you could, but you ain't gonna own me.
Do anything you can to control me.
Oh, oowhoaoh.

Take me away! A secret place!
A sweet escape! Take me away!
Take me away! To Better days!
Take me away! A hiding place!

There's a place that I go,
But nobody knows.
Where the rivers flow,
And I call it home.

And there's no more lies.
In the darkness², there's light.
And nobody cries.
There's only butterflies!

Take me away! A secret place!
A sweet escape! Take me away!
Take me away! To better days!
Take me away! A hiding place!
Take me away! A secret place!

A sweet escape! Take me away!
Take me away! To better days!
Take me away! A hiding place!
Take me away! A secret place!
To better days! Take me away!
Take me away! To better days!
Take me away! A hiding place!

The sun is on my side.
Take me for a ride.
I smile up to the sky.
I know I'll be all right.

The sun is on my side.
Take me for a ride.
I smile up to the sky.
I know I'll be all right.

歌手介绍:

年仅22岁的英国唱作女歌手Natasha Bedingfield首张个人大碟Unwritten一推出已成为英国唱片销量榜之冠。高质素的歌曲包括有她请来Guy Chambers合作的两张大热歌曲Single年个和These Words，后者更曾连续两星期雄据英国细碟榜冠军位置，而歌曲正好展现出Natasha在演唱R&B作品的自信。然而在知名音乐猛人如Andy Frampton、Steve Kipner、Mark 'Spike³' Stent及她的哥哥Daniel Bedingfield助阵下，大碟制造出众多的音乐元素，有Reggage的Unwritten、大陆柔情的I Bruise⁴ Easily、Pink Style式的摇滚小品If You're Gonna......等，都让人听得满心欢喜。

Natasha特别解释了对她而言别具意义的《Unwritten》的创作动机："这是我给我弟弟的14岁生日礼物。我用这首歌告诉他，你才刚要转大人，你的生命还是一张白纸，要怎么填满它，那支决定性的笔就握在你手中，没有其他人可以在你的青春白纸上乱涂。你要自己去体验很多等在你面前的事，你要跨出去，勇敢面对一切。"这样的励志主题也是Natasha其他歌曲的灵感主轴--把握生命，做生命的主人，尽情发挥你的人生。顺道一提，Natasha在这首歌曲里也让她的另一位家人参与演唱......错，不是丹尼尔，是她的妹妹。所以这样看来，Natasha所有的兄弟姊妹对这张专辑全都有所贡献。
