Kiss the rain
whenever you need me
Kiss the rain
whenever I’m gone too long
If your lips feel lonely and thirsty
kiss the rain
and wait for the dawn
亲吻这雨吧
无论何时你需要我
亲吻这雨吧
无论何时我走得多么遥远
若你的唇感到孤独与渴望
亲吻这雨吧
并等待黎明的到来
Keep in mind
We''re under the same sky
And the nights
as empty for me as for you
If you feel
You can''t wait till morning
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
记住 我们在同一片天空下
而这夜色
对你如同对我一样的空空如野
如果你感到
你不能等到清晨
就该亲吻这雨
亲吻这雨吧
亲吻这雨吧
亲吻这雨吧
《Kiss The Rain》,中文翻译成《雨的印记》,出自韩国最擅长描会爱情的音乐家YIRUMA之手,写这首歌的时候,是在一个星星满天的夜晚，忽然间一场雨，让YIRUMA有感而发写下这首曲子。

唱片集评论:
In musical terms, it is less significant that Mitchell Froom is no longer Suzanne Vega's husband than it is that he is no longer her producer. Although Froom's experimental style helped the singer/songwriter fulfill her desire to expand beyond her folk-pop roots on her fourth and fifth albums, 99 F° and Nine Objects of Desire, his approach actually worked against the material, cluttering her intimate, direct songs with inappropriate percussion tracks and various kinds of sound processing. So, listeners who responded strongly to her first three albums but found the Froom discs off-putting (and there were plenty of them) should be alerted that, sonically, Songs in Red and Gray is ready to welcome back old fans. Produced by Rupert Hine, it has the kind of carefully played acoustic guitar work and close-up vocal miking that characterized Suzanne Vega and Solitude Standing. That makes it easier to appreciate Froom's departure from Vega's personal life as well as her professional one, however. This is very much a divorce album, its songs frequently touching on romantic discord and the resulting fall-out. Vega is both precise and artful in describing the situation. She writes by metaphor, unafraid, on "Machine Ballerina," for example, to mix those metaphors and pile them up. That allows her some emotional distance, but never at the expense of meaning. Her concern with the dissolution of her marriage and its impact on her child is apparent in "Soap and Water" when she sings, "Daddy's a dark riddle/Mama's a headful of bees/you are my little kite /carried away in the wayward breeze," even though the lines make up a succession of metaphors. Her calm, hushed, clear singing only emphasizes the emotional torment the songs trace. The result is an album on a par with her best work.

Take That Back For Good
I guess now it's time for me to give up
I feel it's time
Got a picture of you beside me
Got your lipstick mark still on your coffee cup
Got a fist of pure emotion
Got a head of shattered dreams
Gotta leave it, gotta leave it all behind now
Whatever I said, whatever I did I didn't mean it
I just want you back for good
Whenever I'm wrong just tell me the song and I'll sing it
You'll be right and understood
Unaware but underlined I figured out this story
It wasn't good
But in the corner of my mind I celebrated glory
But that was not to be
In the twist of separation you excelled at being free
Can't you find a little room inside for me
Whatever I said, whatever I did I didn't mean it
I just want you back for good
Whenever I'm wrong just tell me the song and I'll sing it
You'll be right and understood
And we'll be together, this time is forever
We'll be fighting and forever we will be
So complete in our love
We will never be uncovered again
Whatever I said, whatever I did I didn't mean it
I just want you back for good
Whenever I'm wrong just tell me the song and I'll sing it
You'll be right and understood
I guess now it's time, that you came back for good .

Lyrics for Album: Letters From Home
My Dear Son, it is almost June,
I hope this letter catches up to you, and finds you well.
Its been dry but they're calling for rain,
And everything's the same ol' same in Johnsonville.
Your stubborn 'ol Daddy ain't said too much,
But I'm sure you know he sends his love,
And she goes on,
In a letter from home.
I hold it up and show my buddies,
Like we ain't scared and our boots ain't muddy, and they all laugh,
Like there's something funny bout' the way I talk,
When I say: "Mama sends her best y'all."
I fold it up an' put it in my shirt,
Pick up my gun an' get back to work.
An' it keeps me driving me on,
Waiting on letters from home.
My Dearest Love, its almost dawn.
I've been lying here all night long wondering where you might be.
I saw your Mama and I showed her the ring.
Man on the television said something so I couldn't sleep.
But I'll be all right, I'm just missing you.
An' this is me kissing you:
XX's and OO's,
In a letter from home.
I hold it up and show my buddies,
Like we ain't scared and our boots ain't muddy, and they all laugh,
'Cause she calls me "Honey", but they take it hard,
'Cause I don't read the good parts.
I fold it up an' put it in my shirt,
Pick up my gun an' get back to work.
An' it keeps me driving me on,
Waiting on letters from home.
Dear Son, I know I ain't written,
But sittin' here tonight, alone in the kitchen, it occurs to me,
I might not have said, so I'll say it now:
Son, you make me proud.
I hold it up and show my buddies,
Like we ain't scared and our boots ain't muddy, but no one laughs,
'Cause there ain't nothing funny when a soldier cries.
An' I just wipe me eyes.
I fold it up an' put it in my shirt,
Pick up my gun an' get back to work.
An' it keeps me driving me on,
Waiting on letters from home.
Rope The Moon
Windows Media Player文件
I don't have a lot to show
For these years of hard work
If you look at what I own
Well she's always telling me
To hold onto my dreams
Even when my hope is gone
Some may say that dreaming's
Just for fools
There are times I thought
That might be true, but
CHORUS
She thinks I could rope the moon
In her life there is nothing
I can't do
When I think it's out of reach
She's the reason I still try
She thinks I could rope the moon
When I look at the sky
But can't see through the clouds
She shows me the brightest stars
If I think of turning back
'Cause I'm having my doubts
She tells me I've come so far
Nothing in this world comes easily
But I can't lose with her
Right next to me
CHORUS
Oh, she thinks I could rope the moon
I Swear
Windows Media Player文件
I swear by the moon and the stars in the sky
And I swear like the shadow that's by your side
I see the questions in your eyes
I know what's weighing on your mind
You can be sure I know my heart
`Coz I'll stand beside you through the years
You'll only cry those happy tears
And though I make mistakes
I'll never break your heart
And I swear, by the moon and the stars in the sky
I'll be there
I swear, like a shadow that's by your side
I'll be there
For better or worse, till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart
And I swear
I'll give you every thing I can
I'll build your dreams with these two hands
We'll hang some memories on the walls
And when just the two of us are there
You won't have to ask if I still care
`Coz as the time turns the page, my love won't age at all
And I swear by the moon and the stars in the sky
I swear (and I swear) like the shadow that's by your side
I'll be there
For better or worse, till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart
And I swear
I swear (I swear) by the moon and stars in the sky
I'll be there
I swear like the shadow that's by your side
I'll be there
For better or worse, till death do us part
I'll love you with every (single) beat of my heart

Earnest Clayton (Clay) Walker, Jr. (born August 19, 1969 in Beaumont, Texas) is an American country music singer
Early Years
Earnest Clayton Walker, Jr. is the oldest child of Earnest Clayton Walker Sr. and Danna Bush. He has a younger sister, Kimberly, and a younger brother, Jared.
Walker fell in love with music at age 9. After leaving his shift as night-shift desk clerk at a Super 8 Motel one morning when he was only 16, Walker stopped at a local radio station to deliver a tape of a song he had written himself. Although the morning dj told him that it was against the station's policy to play the song, as Walker drove away he heard his song play on the air for the first time.[1] After graduating from Vidor High School in 1987, he pursued a full-time music career.
After several years playing in various Texas honky-tonks, Walker became the house singer at the Neon Armadillo Bar in Beaumont. It was there that he was discovered by producer James Stroud, who helped Walker get a contract with Giant Records.
Walker's debut album, the self-titled Clay Walker, was released in 1993. It contained the #1 hit singles "What's It to You", "Live Until I Die" and "Dreaming With My Eyes Wide Open". It also featured the #11 "Where Do I Fit In the Picture" as well as the song "White Palace" which was never an actual single, but Clay's momentum boosted the song's popularity as a club hit caused it to chart to #67 in April of 1994 (Billboard Magazine).
In 1994, Walker's second album, If I Could Make a Living, was released. It contained the #1 hit title track, as well as top-ten hit "This Woman and This Man" and minor hit "My Heart Will Never Know".
Walker's third album, Hypnotize the Moon, was released in 1995. It contained the #2 hit "Who Needs You Baby", as well as the top 5 title track, another top 10 hit called "Only On Days That End In 'Y'", and minor hits "Where Were You" and "Bury the Shovel".
1996 saw discouraging news. Clay Walker was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Walker, however, didn't care. He was going to make music and perform concerts no matter what happened to him.
1997 saw the release of Walker's fourth album, Rumor Has It. The hits on this album included the title track (which went No. 1), the top 5 hits "Watch This" and "Then What", and a lesser hit called "One, Two, I Love You".
In 1998, Walker's Greatest Hits was released, featuring all of his hit singles, plus two new hit songs, "You're Beginning to Get to Me", and "Ordinary People".
Walker's last Giant Records album, Live, Laugh, Love came in 1999. It included the #3 hit "Chain of Love", plus the #11 title track, as well as the #16 "She's Always Right", and flops "Once In a Lifetime" and a remake of the Earl Thomas Conley hit "Holding Her and Loving You".
Walker then recorded an album for Warner Brothers, of which Giant Records was the sister label. Say No More was released in 2001. It was the least successful of his albums, only reaching Gold status. It included minor hits "If You Ever Feel Like Lovin' Me Again" and the title track.
In 2002, Walker wrote and recorded a song for the NFL's newest expansion team, the Houston Texans. "Football Time in Houston" was used as the team's official fight song during the team's inaugural season. In 2003, the franchise chose to go with a different song that had an overwhelmingly negative response from the fans. Shortly thereafter, Walker's song returned and is still the team's fight song today. The song can be heard over Reliant Stadium's Public Address system after a Texans score. Walker makes frequent appearances at Texans games and traditionally sings the "Star-Spangled Banner" at the team's home-opener each season.
Walker's RCA debut, A Few Questions, came in 2003. It included the top-ten title track, plus another top-ten, "I Can't Sleep". It also featured a minor hit, "Jesus Was a Country Boy".
Walker is one of a select few artists to have one of his songs included in Billboard's year-end Top 10 Country Songs list for 5 consecutive years. His albums have sold a combined 8 million copies, and he has had 6 number-one singles and 15 Top 10 singles.
His new album on Asylum-Curb, titled Fall, was released April 17, 2007 and features his Top 25 single "'Fore She Was Mama", as well as his current single, which is the album's title track.
Although doctors originally told him he had only a few years to live, Walker's MS is now manageable. To spur research into the disease, he formed the Band Against MS organization.
Walker recently competed at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo in the cutting competition with his horse, Maddie, and placed seventh. He is also an avid golfer, and regularly competes in the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. In 2005, his team won the tournament. Walker donated his share of the winnings to Band Against MS. [2]
Clay has two daughters with his ex-wife Lori, MaClay DeLayne and Skylor ClayAnne.

Walker's debut album, the self-titled Clay Walker, was released in 1993. It contained the #1 hit singles "What's It to You", "Live Until I Die" and "Dreaming With My Eyes Wide Open". It also featured the #11 "Where Do I Fit In the Picture" as well as the song "White Palace" which was never an actual single, but Clay's momentum boosted the song's popularity as a club hit caused it to chart to #67 in April of 1994 (Billboard Magazine).
In 1994, Walker's second album, If I Could Make a Living, was released. It contained the #1 hit title track, as well as top-ten hit "This Woman and This Man" and minor hit "My Heart Will Never Know".
Walker's third album, Hypnotize the Moon, was released in 1995. It contained the #2 hit "Who Needs You Baby", as well as the top 5 title track, another top 10 hit called "Only On Days That End In 'Y'", and minor hits "Where Were You" and "Bury the Shovel".
1996 saw discouraging news. Clay Walker was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Walker, however, didn't care. He was going to make music and perform concerts no matter what happened to him.
1997 saw the release of Walker's fourth album, Rumor Has It. The hits on this album included the title track (which went No. 1), the top 5 hits "Watch This" and "Then What", and a lesser hit called "One, Two, I Love You".
In 1998, Walker's Greatest Hits was released, featuring all of his hit singles, plus two new hit songs, "You're Beginning to Get to Me", and "Ordinary People".
Walker's last Giant Records album, Live, Laugh, Love came in 1999. It included the #3 hit "Chain of Love", plus the #11 title track, as well as the #16 "She's Always Right", and flops "Once In a Lifetime" and a remake of the Earl Thomas Conley hit "Holding Her and Loving You".
Walker then recorded an album for Warner Brothers, of which Giant Records was the sister label. Say No More was released in 2001. It was the least successful of his albums, only reaching Gold status. It included minor hits "If You Ever Feel Like Lovin' Me Again" and the title track.
In 2002, Walker wrote and recorded a song for the NFL's newest expansion team, the Houston Texans. "Football Time in Houston" was used as the team's official fight song during the team's inaugural season. In 2003, the franchise chose to go with a different song that had an overwhelmingly negative response from the fans. Shortly thereafter, Walker's song returned and is still the team's fight song today. The song can be heard over Reliant Stadium's Public Address system after a Texans score. Walker makes frequent appearances at Texans games and traditionally sings the "Star-Spangled Banner" at the team's home-opener each season.
Walker's RCA debut, A Few Questions, came in 2003. It included the top-ten title track, plus another top-ten, "I Can't Sleep". It also featured a minor hit, "Jesus Was a Country Boy".
Walker is one of a select few artists to have one of his songs included in Billboard's year-end Top 10 Country Songs list for 5 consecutive years. His albums have sold a combined 8 million copies, and he has had 6 number-one singles and 15 Top 10 singles.
His new album on Asylum-Curb, titled Fall, was released April 17, 2007 and features his Top 25 single "'Fore She Was Mama", as well as his current single, which is the album's title track.
Although doctors originally told him he had only a few years to live, Walker's MS is now manageable. To spur research into the disease, he formed the Band Against MS organization.
Walker recently competed at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo in the cutting competition with his horse, Maddie, and placed seventh. He is also an avid golfer, and regularly competes in the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. In 2005, his team won the tournament. Walker donated his share of the winnings to Band Against MS. [2]
Clay has two daughters with his ex-wife Lori, MaClay DeLayne and Skylor ClayAnne.

We camped out on the living room floor
In our old sleeping bags, by a make-believe fire.
In a tent made of covers, we talked for hours
My two brother and me.
Keeping the faith; racing with destiny.
They were angels in waiting.
Waiting for wings to fly from this world,
Away from their pain
Treasuring time, til time came to leave,
Leaving behind sweet memories.
Angels in waiting; angels in waiting for wings.
They always knew they never grow old.
Sometimes the body is weaker than the soul.
In their darkest hour, I made a promise
I will always keep:
I'll give them life; I'll let them live through me.
They were angels in waiting.
Waiting for wings to fly from this world,
Away from their pain
Treasuring time, til time came to leave,
Leaving behind sweet memories.
Angels in waiting; angels in waiting for wings.
Angels in waiting; angels in waiting for me.
They were angels in waiting.
Waiting for wings to fly from this world,
Away from their pain
Treasuring time, til time came to leave,
Leaving behind sweet memories.
Angels in waiting; angels in waiting for wings.
Angels in waiting; angels in waiting for me.

我们在起居室的地板上露营
在旧的睡袋中游戏
我们还在用被子制成的帐篷内不停地谈话有我和我的两个兄弟坚信命运的安排
他们是期待中的天使
期待他们的双翅帮助他们从这个世界飞离
摆脱痛楚
美好时光一直延续到他们离开的那一刻
留下了甜美的回忆
期待中的天使
等待助飞的双翼
他们早已知道他们的生命短暂
有时他们心灵比体质更为坚强
在他们最黯淡的时光
我许下诺言
我会永远坚守
我会给予他们生命
会让他们永

Bob Dylan - Blowing In the Wind
在风中飘摇
艺人：Bob Dylan
歌曲：Blowing In the Wind
Windows Media Player文件How many roads must a man walk down
Before you can call him a man
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleep in the sand
How many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they're forever banned
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
How many years can a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea
How many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free
How many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky
How many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry
And how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have deid
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
The answer my friend is blowing' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind ...
一个男人要走过多少路
才可以称之为好汉？
一只白鸽要飞过多少海
才能在沙滩上入眠？
炮弹要横行多久
才会被永远禁缚？
我的朋友
答案飘荡在风中飘摇
一座山要屹立多久
才会被冲刷入海
一些人要坚持多少年
他们才会获得自由
一个人要转过多少次头
来假装他正好没看到
我的朋友
答案飘荡在风中飘摇
一个人要仰望多少次
他才可以看得见天空
一个人要有多少只耳朵
他才能听到人们的哭泣
要有多少死亡他才会知道
太多的人已经付出了生命
我的朋友
答案飘荡在风中飘摇
答案飘荡在风中飘摇...
