For You I Will(Confidence)--Teddy Geiger

(MV) Teddy Geiger, 17 and hugely talented, is going to take some lumps with the release of his debut¹ CD--that's the way it goes when you're a blue-eyed, raven-haired, golden-skinned Adonis-in-training type. Don't let the hottie-haters distract you, though: this is pop music worth listening to, from the John Mayer-meets-Maroon 5-meets-Vanessa Carlton early tracks to later cuts, which bubble with something altogether purer. Geiger, known to the teen-age masses already for his turn on VH1's "In Search of the New Partridge Family" series and for playing a budding rock star on "Love Monkey," a CBS show that flopped² weeks prior to this disc's release, sings in a ropey voice that's comfortable just where it is--mid-range and married to the feelings behind it. Which, surprisingly, are frontloaded with honesty and depth. "Thinking Underage," a song that does a neat backflip with the disc's title, is as gorgeous a sulk as has ever come off a major label; "Try Too Hard" is pure, sweet springtime. And Teddy, proving for all the world that the talent gods pick favorites, can play: hear him here on guitar, piano, bass³ and drums.

 

For You I Will(Confidence)

Lyrics

Wondering the streets, in a world underneath⁴ it all
Nothing seems to be, nothing tastes as sweet
As what I can't have
Like you and the way that you're twisting your hair
round your finger
Tonight I'm not afraid to tell you
What I feel about you.

I'm gonna muster⁵ every ounce of confidence I have
and cannon⁶ ball into the water
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
For you I will

Forgive me if I stutter
From all of the clutter⁷ in my head
Cuz I could fall asleep in those eyes
Like a water bed
Do I seem familiar, i've crossed you in hallways
a thousand times, no more camouflage
I want to be exposed, and not be afraid to fall.

I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
And cannon ball into the water
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
You always want what you can't have
But I've got to try
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
For you I will
For you I will
For you

If I could dim the lights in the mall
And create a mood I would
Shout out your name so it echos in every room
I would

That's what I'd do, That's what I'd do to get through to you

I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
And cannon ball into the water
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
You always want what you can't have
But I've got to try
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
For you I will
For you I will
For you I will


歌手及专辑介绍

1988年9月16日，Teddy Geiger出生于美国纽约的Rochester附近。儿时的Teddy便显示出了非同一般的音乐天赋，7岁时开始自学演奏吉他，8岁就已经会用钢琴作曲，而到11岁时，Teddy已经可以熟练的演奏吉他和长号。在其他孩子还在学校里好好读书的时候，同样才十几岁的Teddy Geiger就已经开始在当地的一些咖啡厅里演出了，不久之后他就得到了在纽约的俱乐部中表演的机会。

直到2004年，Teddy Geiger个人的音乐事业才算有了真正的起色。2004年夏天，在参加VH1台的《In Search of the New Partridge Family》选拔期间，Teddy Geiger被著名制作人比利·马恩（Billy Mann）相中。曾与Billy Mann合作的歌手包括：斯丁（Sting）和平克（Pink）以及杰西卡·辛普森（Jessica Simpson）与阿什莉·辛普森（Ashlee Simpson）姐妹。在刚满16岁的时候，Teddy Geiger便得到了发行个人专辑的合同。

2005年2月，Teddy Geiger在Billy Mann的帮助之下开始进入纽约的录音室中录制自己在Columbia公司的首张个人专辑。2005年初，Teddy Geiger发行了一张名为《Step Ladder》的EP，这张EP在Billboard Top Hitseekers榜中成功打入前十。同样在2005年，Teddy Geiger还加入到了电视系列剧《Love Monkey》的演出当中，在其中饰演一位年轻的音乐人，而他的歌曲《Love is a Marathon》也被定为这部电视系列剧的主题曲。年轻帅气的Teddy Geiger逐渐开始得到少女观众的喜爱。

2006年3月，首张个人专辑《Underage Thinking》面世，发行首周以5万6千张的销量名列当周Billboard 200专辑榜的第八位。

相信大多数看到Teddy Geiger这张专辑的人（尤其是年龄相仿的小女生）往往会首先被他的英俊的外表吸引，黑头发，高鼻梁，大眼睛......一幅典型的小白脸长相！但如果你认为Teddy Geiger只是依靠外表出名，那你就大错特错了，说这位帅气的小伙子是天才少年一点都不为过。在这张《Underage Thinking》当中，Teddy Geiger除了包办其中11首歌曲词曲创作之外，还亲自参与到了整张专辑的规划设计，编曲，吉他，贝斯，钢琴以及鼓的演奏当中。

本张专辑中大多数歌曲都是特别适合在电台播放的情歌，好听而上口的旋律在Teddy Geiger性感而略带沙哑的嗓音演绎之下使得这张专辑成为2006年至今旋律最好的成人流行乐唱片之一。无论是以钢琴伴奏为主的歌曲《These Walls》，《Night Air》和《A Million Years》还是木吉他版的同名歌曲《Thinking Underage》和《Try Too Hard》都是非常耐听的曲目。更加难能可贵的是，这些旋律出色的歌曲都是由小帅哥本人创作。而还未满18岁的Teddy Geiger在专辑中还表现出了对成年的渴望，在歌曲《Thinking Underage》中，Teddy Geiger唱道：“我讨厌再以未成年的四维方式思考，当孩子们长大的时候，他们不会再按照父母的话去做事，我回找到属于我自己的路。”对于爱情，就像最后一首歌的名字，Teddy Geiger认为爱情就是一场马拉松。”

流行歌坛一向都有偶像派和实力派之分，在听过这张专辑之后，你就会对颇具偶像气质的Teddy Geiger的实力有更深刻的了解。等着看吧，Teddy Geiger这颗正在冉冉升起的新星会在不久之后散发出耀眼光芒的。
