刘德华2005年8月27日举办西安演唱会.,将带来他2005年的全新歌曲,其中将会包含<<再说一次我爱你>>.
音响和其它设备均自行购置空运到西安.
啊..,说起刘德华,他可是经历了10多年演绎了. 从开始从事影视,到后来开始唱歌, 我认为到后来的唱歌确实有进步. 一些情歌和富有内涵的歌曲很不错.
那我想他的歌曲还是瞒值得去听听的. 虽然我基本上不追星. 呵呵......
突然就想这样解脱无忧无虑......
名:解脱
唱:迪克牛仔
词:姚若龙
曲:许华强
爱是不夜城
回忆像星辰
热泪越沸腾
我越感觉有点冷
变了心的人
越想越伤人
枯坐到清晨
阳光替房间开了灯
想苦结局一样
又何苦再想
伤若让人成长
我为什么怕分手的伤
解脱是肯承认这是个错
我不应该还不放手
你有自由走我有自由好好过
解脱是懂擦干泪看以后
找个新方向往前走
这世界辽阔
我总会实现一个梦
心里有一种渴望
勇敢的念头
不让爱我的人再担心我

「偷情」主唱Damien Rice悄悄偷走你的心！
這首歌是電影偷情的片中插曲 它的MV又穿插許多偷情的片段
使我認識了這首歌的演唱人Damien Rice
他的歌聲很誠實又赤裸地展現情感 我很少聽到如此深沉的情緒
現在的歌大多經包裝又加了許多華而不實的東西
包了層層的外膜後讓人看不清裡面是什麼
但卻讓人習慣這個音樂 華麗迂迴但不誠實
一旦聽到直接撞擊靈魂的音樂時又讓人覺得不安全
呼喊著我不要那麼多感覺 卻一邊無法抗拒那受虐的靈魂癒療快感
另一首讓我有相同感覺的是戴佩妮新專輯裡的"愛瘋了"及"Amen"
尤其初聽Amen時 心痛久久無法平復

The Blowers Daughter
And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...
And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time
And so it is
The colder water
The blower's daughter
The pupil in denial
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...
Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to
Leave it all behind?
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind...
My mind...my mind...'Til I find somebody new
前陣子在上映的電影「偷情」，不僅劇情、演員吸引人，連電影原聲帶都成為許多人注目的焦點。許多人在觀看電影的同時，均深深受電影裡的配樂所吸引，可以這麼說，一部成功的電影，其配樂無庸置疑占有成敗的關鍵，姑且從認知科學的理論面來看，音樂確實能夠喚發人們的某種情緒，而當音樂所喚發的情緒與電影劇情欲塑造的情感相呼應時，這便是會一部令人感動且印象深刻的電影，「偷情」很成功的做到這一點，許多人更是對於貫穿這部電影的主題曲「The Blower's Daughter」印象深刻，甚至還會不自覺得跟著啍唱 “Can’t get you out of my mind”….，而這位成功擄掠你的耳朵的歌手就是Damien Rice！
如果你在唱片行找尋「偷情」原聲帶的話，會意外的發現這位歌手的專輯，而為「偷情」並未有正式的原聲帶發行，倒是唱片公司決定引進這一位在電影中演唱 “The Blower's Daughter”以 “Cold Water”的主唱Damien Rice！這位自愛爾蘭都柏林的Damien Rice，其聲音有一種清脆、具有深度的音域，音樂作品廣受愛爾蘭歌迷的喜愛，特別是在2001年發行的首張單曲 “The Blower's Daughter”，一發行就打入當地的排行榜前20名，而首張專輯「O」更是讓許多嚴刻的樂評人給予極高的評分。整張專輯大量以空心吉他為演奏主軸，淡淡的烘托出主唱那蘊含情感的歌聲，聽者或許會被主唱欲表達的深切傷感，給拉進一股奇特、深遂的漩渦中。
這位聲音清徹、總能直搗入你心房的歌手Damien Rice，平常的興趣是創作音樂與畫畫，而他最早自組的樂團「Juniper」，前後還曾發行過三張單曲，而其中"The World Is Dead" 和 "Weathermen"更是成為當地相當熱門的曲子。1999年Damien Rice獨自一人前往歐洲旅行，爾後再返回都柏林，並且自己錄製了一張Demo帶寄給當時的製作人David Arnold，而該位製作人聽了之後相當感興趣，並幫他發行了首張個人單曲 “The Blower's Daughter”，發行之後受到相當大的矚目，接著他便發行整張專輯「O」，這張作品推出後，大受好評，至少創下3白金的銷售的紀錄，還贏得3項愛爾蘭音樂獎提名，甚至還打進英國專輯榜第8名。去年（2004年）Damien Rice獲得全英音樂獎最佳國際性男歌手的提名，以及NME雜誌獎最佳獨唱歌手的提名，同時也贏得了愛爾蘭傳媒Hot Press讀者票選大獎中的最佳男歌手與最佳詞曲創作者兩項獎座，此外，專輯「O」還贏得了2003年的Shortlist音樂獎。
這位歌手的演唱方式，確有其獨到之處，他的情感表達既直接且強烈，他的演唱非常具有衝擊力，在聆聽他的音樂之前，或許要先有一點心裡準備才好！
这首歌我在很久以前就听过, 但是这次再次别人推荐这个电影,竟然成为主题背景歌曲了. Let's 喜欢的朋友请使用你的帐户到我们这里赶紧去分享吧！

我这里的艺术部分主要就是音乐为主的. 也是我本站内容核心. 将主要以乡村音乐和一些非常值得收藏的耐听优秀音乐. 其中外文的音乐占60%左右以上. 至于流行歌曲类则比较少收集, 流行的收集主要认为比较长期耐听的歌曲. 只有大约1-2%左右的流行歌曲只是适应当时流行市场时期推出的. 在这里你们将听到与众不同清新风格的音乐. 音乐是一种心灵的净化和带给我们一种灵感与动力. 因为音乐是我的信仰一部分.
这些音乐基本上都是经过我重新编辑处理过的, 编码为96KB-128KB CBR 多比率的形式.会根据你的网络自动选择比特率. 如果你的网络速度与我这里能保持在15KB/S-20KB/S 以上,那么你就会以128KB音质欣赏. 适合在网络直接欣赏并且保持尽可能好的音质. 几乎所有音乐以多媒体服务器提供服务的. 所以你不会看到实际的音乐文件地址.
目前我这里的音乐可以不重复至少连续听24小时以上.
另外制作音乐的音质与音乐源有很大关系. 所以我需要尽可能寻找更好的音乐源.
现在这里我需要一份张信哲1992年发行的<<知道>>专集. 我目前只有这个专集的卡带以及一些音质不是很好的MP3. 所以希望哪位朋友能提供好的音质专集. 我将重新编辑与大家一起分享.
张信哲的属于流行类的, 但是他大部分的音乐和演绎都非常好, 一种纯真的感情蕴涵在音乐中. 不象现在很多流行音乐只是一种刺激时代的产物. 所以无论如何他的一些歌曲还是值得收藏欣赏的. 我喜欢这类的流行音乐.
音乐一直陪伴着我. 虽然我在这里很少写. 但随时我都在聆听... 也希望真的喜欢朋友能够开心分享交流.!

剧情简介
音乐剧《悲惨世界》的主人公冉·阿让在监狱呆了19年之后被假释，按照法律他必须随时出示“离开证”。他是一个被社会永远遗弃的人，只有主教善待他，但被多年的苦难折磨的冉·阿让却偷了主教的银器。主教竟为了救他哄过警察，并将两个珍贵的银烛台送给他。冉·阿让深受感动，决心重新做人，开始新的生活。
8年过去了，已经逃脱假释的冉·阿让早已把名字改成马德兰先生了，并成为一个工场主和市长。工人中有一个叫芳汀的女工有一个私生女，女工发现后要求开除芳汀。芳汀拒绝了工头的殷勤被解雇。为了给女儿买药，芳汀变卖了她的首饰盒和头发，最后被迫去当妓女，为此她感到非常羞耻。她与一个顾客打架，警察沙威要把她抓进监狱。这时，“市长”赶来并要求将芳汀送到医院。途中，市长为了救一名被飞奔的马车撞倒的男子，将深陷的车轮用肩扛起。这非同寻常的力量使沙威想起了当年监狱里的第24601号犯人冉·阿让。许多年来他一直在追捕这个逃脱的假释犯，并说不久前他已经把这人抓到了。冉·阿让不愿让一个无辜的人代自己坐牢，决定向法院坦白真相。医院里，冉·阿让向濒死的芳汀保证找到并照顾她的女儿珂赛特。沙威赶到医院逮捕冉·阿让，但他逃脱了。
1823年，珂赛特已在开客栈的德纳第家住了五年，德纳第刚从滑铁卢战场回来，德纳第夫妇粗暴地虐待珂赛特，把年仅八九岁的她当作一个女仆，而对自己的女儿爱潘妮却很溺爱。冉·阿让发现珂赛特在黑夜中汲水，他付钱给德纳第家，趁着夜幕把珂赛特带走，去了巴黎。
九年后，市政府里唯一对穷人表示出一些感情的拉玛格将军可能会死去，城里出现了一次大骚乱。一个由德纳第夫妇领导的帮派袭击了冉·阿让和珂赛特，他们被沙威救了出来。沙威直到冉·阿让逃跑后才认出他。爱潘妮暗恋着学生马吕斯，而马吕斯却爱着珂赛特。在一间咖啡馆的政治集会上，一群理 想主义的学生们为革命做着准备，他们确信拉玛格一死革命就会爆发。当穷孩子伽弗洛什带来了将军的死讯时，学生们由安灼拉领导涌上街头，得到民众的支持。马吕斯因为对神秘的珂赛特的思念而心神不宁。 珂赛特由于对马吕斯的挂念而日渐憔悴，爱潘妮尽管自己爱着马吕斯，她还是悲伤地把马吕斯带到珂赛特那里，并制止她父亲的帮派去抢劫冉·阿让的家。冉·阿让准备逃离这个国家，珂赛特和马吕斯绝望中告别。德纳第夫妇则打算在混乱中发一笔横财。马吕斯注意到爱潘妮参加了起义，让她送一封信给珂赛特，使她远离街垒。信让冉·阿让截留了，爱潘妮重新来到街垒与马吕斯并肩战斗。 伽弗洛什揭发沙威是一名警察局的密探，爱潘妮在街垒被子弹打中，倒在马吕斯怀里。冉·阿让赶到街垒寻找马吕斯，正好碰到了沙威，虽然他有机会杀死沙威，却给了沙威一条生路。冉·阿让向上帝祈祷保护马吕斯。
第二天，弹药没有了，起义者全部被杀，冉·阿让背着失去知觉的马吕斯逃到下水道中，碰到正在窃取起义者遗物的德纳第。冉·阿让主动暴露自己，与沙威见面，请求沙威给他时间把马吕斯送到医院。沙威一生坚持的“正义”原则被冉·阿让的仁慈和宽厚精神击得粉碎，决定放他走。随后沙威跳进塞纳河自杀了。马吕斯在珂赛特的照料下醒过来，却不知道是谁救了自己。冉·阿让把自己过去的真相告诉了马吕斯，并坚持说等这对年轻人结婚后，他必须走开，他不能玷污俩人纯洁的结合与安全。 婚礼上，德纳第夫妇想勒索马吕斯，说珂赛特的父亲是一个杀人犯，并出示了证据：一只他在街垒陷落的那晚从下水道的尸体上偷来的戒指。这戒指是马吕斯的，他这才知道：那天晚上是冉·阿让救了自己。 他和珂赛特赶到冉·阿让处，在冉·阿让临终前珂赛特第一次听说了自己的身世，老人在亲人的怀抱中死去……最后“你是否听到人民的歌声？”响彻整个剧场。
Do you hear the people sing?
Singing the songs of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about the start
When tomorrow comes!
《悲惨世界》改自法国作家雨果的著名小说，在英国公演于一九八五年。之后，在世界各大洲都有不断的演出，在近几年，它的影响也波及到亚洲，《悲惨世界》有日文版（其他语种还有法语、西伯来语、匈牙利语、西班牙语、德语等），而在新加坡、香港、印度以及中国都已经或是将要有它的演出。也因为如此，它被称为世界上最有名的音乐剧，－－当然也许更多人听说过的《悲惨世界》是雨果的小说。不过也因为原书的名气太大，音乐剧在一开始很受评论家的排挤。有些人认为它不该把严肃的东西音乐化懈渎了名著，另一些人则认为音乐加上严肃主题是糟蹋了音乐剧。谁想观众的反应却十分积极，票房的收入相当好，就这样剧团支持过了最艰难的初始阶段。之后不久《悲惨世界》就转到伦敦西头（英国舞台剧中心）后来又越洋过海到美国的百老汇，自此一发而不可收。舞台剧在全世界一百多个城市公演，直到现在，十五年后的今天，仍在匈牙利，德国和日本连续公演。九五年八月五日，在伦敦圣阿伯特剧场（St. Albert Hall）举行的十周年的晚会上，《悲惨世界》最优秀的演员聚集一堂，最后由十七位来自不同国家Valjean出场，用各自的语言演唱"Do You Hear the People Sing"。这也说明该剧在各个国家的知名程度。

这是我珍藏了很久的DVD，个人认为这部音乐剧比“猫”都要好。因为实在是太经典，一直想把它共享出来，但是尝试过很多次压出的DVDRip效果都不是很好，前天无意间看到了牛过的一篇DVDRip教程，又尝试了一下，这次做出的效果让我非常满意（虽然话了二十多个小时但我认为还是值得的）。不过因为这是我第一次发这样的片子，不足之处肯定是有的了，请大家多多指出，我也一定会虚心接受的。也希望大家多多支持此帖，我实在不希望这么好的东西很快地就被挤到后面无人问津的角落里（虽然这种可能性很大的）。
另：既然是自己压的DVDRip，下的人也不会很多，所以速度方面要慢一点的。这也是没有办法的事，不过我会一直共享的。
这个版本就是九五年八月五日，在伦敦圣阿伯特剧场（St. Albert Hall）举行的十周年纪念晚会上，《悲惨世界》最优秀的演员聚集一堂，最后由十七位来自不同国家Valjean出场，用各自的语言演唱"Do You Hear the People Sing"的那一场。
另《悲惨世界》在2002年还曾经来过上海演出，当时引起很大的轰动的。
注:这是我很喜欢看并且有着重要意义的作品. 永远LOVE.........

Y: 各位听众好，我是杨晨，欢迎您到美语咖啡屋。
J: And I'm Jody. Welcome to American cafe, where you can meet everyday Americans at work and at play. So, come on in and grab a good seat by the window and join us for American Cafe.
Y: 说到这儿啊，我们今天要带您认识两位美国人。他们有一个共同的爱好。
J: That's right. One's a musician and one's a dancer. And they have something in common - they both love bluegrass music!
(Enter \"Orange Blossom Special\")
J: Yang Chen, did you hear how fast they are playing? It is simply incredible!
Y: Wow, 你说的没错。虽然我看不见他们的手，可是我已经觉得眼花缭乱了。
J: Yang Chen, let's first introduce Bob Carlin, a musician we met at a cultural festival and let him describe this very American type of music; bluegrass.
Y: 好吧。我们首先来认识一下Bob Carlin。他是一位音乐学者，让他给您介绍一下什么是Bluegrass Music， 兰草音乐。
实录1 Bob Carlin: Bluegrass is a form of music in its strictest definition. It's a band of fiddle, or violin, mandolin, five-string banjo, which is an American invention from an African instrument, and, uh, the guitar and string base. And that's the classic bluegrass band.
Y: Jody，Bob Carlin刚才提到了演奏bluegrass的几种基本乐器。我们解释一下这几种乐器好吗？
J: That's a great idea. First he mentions the fiddle, or violin.
Y: 其实 fiddle就是小提琴，在演奏乡村音乐或兰草音乐的时候就称为fiddle。我给它起了个名字，叫“乡村小提琴”，好不好听啊？
J: Very clever. Then there's the mandolin.
Y: 曼陀林琴。
J: Next is the five-string banjo. It is the most important instrument in bluegrass music. What you hear in the background, in fact, is an example of banjo music.
(Enter banjo music)
Y: Banjo就五弦琴或者叫班究琴。您现在听到的就是班究琴。Banjo在兰草音乐里是最重要的一种乐器。
J: Then there's the guitar.
Y: 我想大家都很熟悉吉他。
J: Finally, Yang Chen, there's the string bass.
Y: 最后还有低音琴。解了演奏 Bluegrass 的基本乐器，下面我们听听 Bob Carlin为我们介绍 Bluegrass 的起源和风格。
实录2 Bob Carlin: What separates this from other music groups is that they play in a style that was pioneered by Bill Monroe back in the 1940s. And, um, it's a music that takes its cue or its roots from earlier forms of American string band music, country music and incorporates, uh, some ideas out of jazz, like soloing.
Y: Bob Carlin 刚才谈到的 Bill Monroe 就是兰草音乐之父。还有啊，他提到几个词，我们来解释一下，\"jazz\" 就是爵士乐。\"Soloing\" 我想就是某种乐器穿插在乐曲中间的独奏，对吧？
J: That's a perfect definition of soloing.
Y: 谢谢你的夸奖，Jody。你来自西维吉尼亚，可以说你是听着bluegrass 长大的，那么对你来说，bluegrass有什么特别意义呢？
J: You're right. I grew up in West Virginia listening to bluegrass music so it really is in my blood. When bluegrass music is playing, it's very hard to keep my feet still.
Y: 好，那么我们下面就为大家介绍我们今天要认识的第二个美国人。她叫Lynn Masterson。我们听听她为什么喜欢bluegrass。
实录3 Lynn Masterson: Well, it always has a strong beat. For a dancer, a strong beat is very important. Um, it's cheery. It's happy music. It's very, uh, familiar and comfortable music. It's sort of part of who we are.
Y: 我觉得她刚才Masterson女士的这番话很有代表性。 Bluegrass的确很有感染力。她所说的strong beat，也就是节奏感很强，适合跳舞。Jody，bluegrass这个题目要讲的内容实在是太多了。
J: That's true.
Y: 可惜我们没有足够的时间。 不过有一点我觉得非提一下不可，那就是bluegrass对大家熟悉的摇滚乐歌王，也就是猫王Elvis Presley的影响。
J: I knew you were going to bring up Elvis Presley.
Y: 好，下面我们还是听听音乐学者 Bob Carlin 是怎么说的吧。
实录4 Bob Carlin: Of course, Elvis is influenced by bluegrass. You know, Elvis did Bill Monroe's \"Blue Moon of Kentucky,\" and Bill Monroe just did it one speed through.
(Enter Bill Monroe singing \"Blue Moon of Kentucky\")
实录5 Bob Carlin: Elvis, he did it as a waltz like Monroe and then he sped it up.
(Enter Elvis Presley singing \"Blue Moon of Kentucky\")
J: Now that we heard both versions, Yang Chen, which one do you like better?
Y: 当然是Elvis Presley了。
J: I knew you were going to say that.
Y: 因为他的演唱速度比较快，而且有摇滚乐的味道。
J: Okay, okay we know how much you like rock-n-roll and Elvis Presley. But you know, I think Bill Monroe's version better. But, I guess we're going to have to talk about that over coffee because that's all the time we have for today on American Cafe.
Y: 好，我们今天就聊到这儿。听众朋友们，我们下次见
Y: 各位听众好，我是杨晨，欢迎您到美语咖啡屋。
J: And I'm Jody. Welcome to American cafe, where you can meet everyday Americans at work and at play. So, come on in and grab a good seat by the window and join us for American Cafe.
Y: 说到这儿啊，我们今天要带您认识两位美国人。他们有一个共同的爱好。
J: That's right. One's a musician and one's a dancer. And they have something in common - they both love bluegrass music!
(Enter \"Orange Blossom Special\")
J: Yang Chen, did you hear how fast they are playing? It is simply incredible!
Y: Wow, 你说的没错。虽然我看不见他们的手，可是我已经觉得眼花缭乱了。
J: Yang Chen, let's first introduce Bob Carlin, a musician we met at a cultural festival and let him describe this very American type of music; bluegrass.
Y: 好吧。我们首先来认识一下Bob Carlin。他是一位音乐学者，让他给您介绍一下什么是Bluegrass Music， 兰草音乐。
实录1 Bob Carlin: Bluegrass is a form of music in its strictest definition. It's a band of fiddle, or violin, mandolin, five-string banjo, which is an American invention from an African instrument, and, uh, the guitar and string base. And that's the classic bluegrass band.
Y: Jody，Bob Carlin刚才提到了演奏bluegrass的几种基本乐器。我们解释一下这几种乐器好吗？
J: That's a great idea. First he mentions the fiddle, or violin.
Y: 其实 fiddle就是小提琴，在演奏乡村音乐或兰草音乐的时候就称为fiddle。我给它起了个名字，叫“乡村小提琴”，好不好听啊？
J: Very clever. Then there's the mandolin.
Y: 曼陀林琴。
J: Next is the five-string banjo. It is the most important instrument in bluegrass music. What you hear in the background, in fact, is an example of banjo music.
(Enter banjo music)
Y: Banjo就五弦琴或者叫班究琴。您现在听到的就是班究琴。Banjo在兰草音乐里是最重要的一种乐器。
J: Then there's the guitar.
Y: 我想大家都很熟悉吉他。
J: Finally, Yang Chen, there's the string bass.
Y: 最后还有低音琴。解了演奏 Bluegrass 的基本乐器，下面我们听听 Bob Carlin为我们介绍 Bluegrass 的起源和风格。
实录2 Bob Carlin: What separates this from other music groups is that they play in a style that was pioneered by Bill Monroe back in the 1940s. And, um, it's a music that takes its cue or its roots from earlier forms of American string band music, country music and incorporates, uh, some ideas out of jazz, like soloing.
Y: Bob Carlin 刚才谈到的 Bill Monroe 就是兰草音乐之父。还有啊，他提到几个词，我们来解释一下，\"jazz\" 就是爵士乐。\"Soloing\" 我想就是某种乐器穿插在乐曲中间的独奏，对吧？
J: That's a perfect definition of soloing.
Y: 谢谢你的夸奖，Jody。你来自西维吉尼亚，可以说你是听着bluegrass 长大的，那么对你来说，bluegrass有什么特别意义呢？
J: You're right. I grew up in West Virginia listening to bluegrass music so it really is in my blood. When bluegrass music is playing, it's very hard to keep my feet still.
Y: 好，那么我们下面就为大家介绍我们今天要认识的第二个美国人。她叫Lynn Masterson。我们听听她为什么喜欢bluegrass。
实录3 Lynn Masterson: Well, it always has a strong beat. For a dancer, a strong beat is very important. Um, it's cheery. It's happy music. It's very, uh, familiar and comfortable music. It's sort of part of who we are.
Y: 我觉得她刚才Masterson女士的这番话很有代表性。 Bluegrass的确很有感染力。她所说的strong beat，也就是节奏感很强，适合跳舞。Jody，bluegrass这个题目要讲的内容实在是太多了。
J: That's true.
Y: 可惜我们没有足够的时间。 不过有一点我觉得非提一下不可，那就是bluegrass对大家熟悉的摇滚乐歌王，也就是猫王Elvis Presley的影响。
J: I knew you were going to bring up Elvis Presley.
Y: 好，下面我们还是听听音乐学者 Bob Carlin 是怎么说的吧。
实录4 Bob Carlin: Of course, Elvis is influenced by bluegrass. You know, Elvis did Bill Monroe's \"Blue Moon of Kentucky,\" and Bill Monroe just did it one speed through.
(Enter Bill Monroe singing \"Blue Moon of Kentucky\")
实录5 Bob Carlin: Elvis, he did it as a waltz like Monroe and then he sped it up.
(Enter Elvis Presley singing \"Blue Moon of Kentucky\")
J: Now that we heard both versions, Yang Chen, which one do you like better?
Y: 当然是Elvis Presley了。
J: I knew you were going to say that.
Y: 因为他的演唱速度比较快，而且有摇滚乐的味道。
J: Okay, okay we know how much you like rock-n-roll and Elvis Presley. But you know, I think Bill Monroe's version better. But, I guess we're going to have to talk about that over coffee because that's all the time we have for today on American Cafe.
Y: 好，我们今天就聊到这儿。听众朋友们，我们下次见
一、耳机是如何分类的？
1、按换能原理（Transducer）分
主要是动圈（Dynamic）和静电（Electrostatic）耳机两大类，虽然除这二类之外尚有等磁式等数种，但或是已被淘汰或是用于专业用途市场占有量极少，在此不做讨论。
动圈耳机原理：目前绝大多数（大约99%以上）的耳机耳塞都属此类，原理类似于普通音箱，处于永磁场中的线圈与振膜相连，线圈在信号电流驱动下带动振膜发声
静电耳机：振膜处于变化的电场中，振膜极薄、精确到几微米级（目前STAX新一代的静电耳机振膜已精确到1.35微米），线圈在电场力的驱动下带动振膜发声。
2、按开放程度分
主要是开放式、半开放式、封闭式（密闭式）。
（1）开放式：一般听感自然，佩带舒适，常见于家用欣赏的HIFI耳机，声音可以泄露、反之同样也可以听到外界的声音，耳机对耳朵的压迫较小。
（2）半开放式：没有严格的规定，声音可以只进不出亦可以只出不进，根据需要而做出相应的调整。
（3）封闭式：耳罩对耳朵压迫较大以防止声音出入，声音正确定位清晰，专业监听领域中多见此类，但这类耳机有一个缺点就是低音音染严重，W100就是一个明显的例子。
3、按用途分
主要是家用（Home）、便携（Portable）、监听（Monitor）、混音（Mix）、人头唱片（Binaural Recording）
二、耳机相关参数
阻抗（Impedance）
注意与电阻含义的区别，在直流电（DC）的世界中，物体对电流阻碍的作用叫做电阻，但是在交流电（AC）的领域中则除了电阻会阻碍电流以外，电容及电感也会阻碍电流的流动，这种作用就称之为电抗，而我们日常所说的阻抗是电阻与电抗在向量上的和。
灵敏度（Sensitivity）
指向耳机输入1毫瓦的功率时耳机所能发出的声压级（声压的单位是分贝，声压越大音量越大），所以一般灵敏度越高、阻抗越小，耳机越容易出声、越容易驱动。
频率响应（Frequency Response）
频率所对应的灵敏度数值就是频率响应，绘制成图象就是频率响应曲线，人类听觉所能达到的范围大约在20Hz-20000Hz，目前成熟的耳机工艺都已达到了这种要求。
三、音质评价术语
音域：乐器或人声所能达到最高音与最低音之间的范围
音色：又称音品，声音的基本属性之一，比如二胡、琵琶就是不同的音色
音染：音乐自然中性的对立面，即声音染上了节目本身没有的一些特性，例如对着一个罐子讲话得到的那种声音就是典型的音染。音染表明重放的信号中多出了（或者是减少了）某些成分，这显然是一种失真。
失真：设备的输出不能完全复现其输入，产生了波形的畸变或者信号成分的增减。 动态：允许记录最大信息与最小信息的比值
瞬态响应：器材对音乐中突发信号的跟随能力。瞬态响应好的器材应当是信号一来就立即响应，信号一停就嘎然而止，决不拖泥带水。（典型乐器：钢琴）
信噪比：又称为讯噪比，信号的有用成份与杂音的强弱对比，常常用分贝数表示。设备的信噪比越高表明它产生的杂音越少。
空气感：用于表示高音的开阔，或是声场中在乐器之间有空间间隔的声学术语。此时，高频响应可延伸到15kHz-20kHz。反义词有“灰暗（dull）”和“厚重（thick）”。
低频延伸：指音响器材所能重放的最低频率。系用于测定在重放低音时音响系统或音箱所能下潜到什么程度的尺度。比方说，小型超低音音箱的低频延伸可以到40Hz，而大型超低音音箱则下潜到16Hz。
明亮：指突出4kHz-8kHz的高频段，此时谐波相对强于基波。明亮本身并没什么问题，现场演奏的音乐会皆有明亮的声音，问题是明亮得掌握好分寸，过于明亮（甚至啸叫）便让人讨厌。
四、关于放大器方面的相关知识
1、一般的放大器可分为晶体管（石机）和电子管（胆机）放大器两类
2、放大器：前置放大器和功率放大器的统称。
（1）功率放大器：简称功放，用于增强信号功率以驱动音箱发声的一种电子装置。不带信号源选择、音量控制等附属功能的功率放大器称为后级。
（2）前置放大器：功放之前的预放大和控制部分，用于增强信号的电压幅度，提供输入信号选择，音调调整和音量控制等功能。前置放大器也称为前级。
3、甲类放大（class-A） ：也称A类放大。为放大器的一种工作状态。此时晶体管或电子管放大器将会对整个的音频信号进行放大。
乙类放大（class-B）：也称B类放大。为放大器的一种工作状态。此时一路晶体管或电子管放大器将会放大音频信号的正半部分，而另一路晶体管或电子管放大器则放大信号的负半部分。
甲乙类放大（class AB）：也称为AB类放大。放大器的一种工作状态。此时放大器的输出级在输出功率为低电平时便按甲类放大状态，而在输出功率为高电平时便转换为乙类放大。
4、关于耳机线材：大多数耳机线都以铜为原料，一般的纯度(一般用几N表示，比如4N、6N……）越高导电性越好，信号失真越小，常见的有：
TPC（电解铜）：纯度为99.5%
OFC（无氧铜）：纯度为99.995%
LC-OFC（线形结晶无氧铜或结晶无氧铜）：纯度在99.995%以上
OCC（单晶无氧铜）：纯度最高，在99.996%以上，又分为PC-OCC和UP-OCC
5、关于前端器材：许多HIFI发烧友习惯将唱机分离成转盘和解码器两部分以得到音质更好的音乐。
前端：多指声频系统中的信号源，如LP密纹慢转唱机或CD唱机，有时也指调谐器（收音头）中处理从无线接收到的信号的前级。
CD转盘：将CD机的机械传动部分独立出来的机器。
D/A转换器：数码音响产品(例如CD、DVD) 中将数字音频信号转换为模拟音频信号的装置。D/A转换器可以做成独立的机器，以配合CD转盘使用，此时常常称为解码器（DAC）。

About Clay Walker
Born: August 19, 1969, Beaumont, TX
"Before, I was walking along a fence," says Clay Walker. "Now I feel like I've jumped into the tall grass and I'm the hunter. I've always loved what I do, but now I'm back in love with the music. It's passionate again." Call it the seventh-album itch as Say No More, produced by Byron Gallimore (Faith Hill, Tim McGraw), Blake Mevis, Brent Mason and Walker, follows four platinum and two gold albums, and 11 #1 singles, from one of contemporary country's most successful artists.
"I haven't ever put this much time or as much heart and soul into an album, not even the first one," continues Texan Walker. "I let it all hang out, gave everything I have to this. There have always been one or two great songs on previous albums but I always seemed to stop short of going all the way for every song. This album was difficult to make because I didn't hide the emotions I went through on every song. It's why I love singing, because I'm actually living the songs while I'm singing them."I'm actually living the songs while I'm singing them."
That, he says, is what sets Say No More apart. "This album is more about real situations, it's more where people live, less dreamy, nothing slick. There's emotion in every single cut, and that's the most important thing about a record--the vocal has to speak to people."
From the first single, "Say No More," with its edgy chord progression, to Walker's stunning Spanish-language cover of "La Bamba," from the Texas swing of "Texas Swing" to the can't-get-it-out-of-your-head melody of "If You Ever Feel Like Lovin' Me Again," from the honky tonk of "Rough Around The Edges" to the pure country of "She's Easy To Hold," Say No More puts Walker's voice and emotion front and center--and he makes it seem simple.
"Being simple is complicated," explains the straightforward singer-songwriter. "It's when we run on emotion, when we know enough to be simple, is where we find happiness, where we touch on what's most important.
That's why I don't try to figure out success. That's the worst thing that can happen to an artist because then you start second guessing your emotion and end up doing more of what you think got you there rather than trusting your heart."
His rendition of Ritchie Valens' "La Bamba" is but one example on Say No More of Walker's willingness to trust himself and step ahead of the pack. With his large fan base in the Southwest, Walker insisted on recording the 1958 hit in its original Spanish, his first recording in the language.
Even his personal list of the three greatest singing voices stretches the envelope for a country star: yes, Merle Haggard first, but Celine Dion second and Bing Crosby third. "I've heard people say Texans are pretty independent by nature and there aren't a lot of apologies for the way we are. We're friendly and comfortable being who we are--and I guess I fit in that mold." Walker grew up in Beaumont, Texas in a musical family, and began playing guitar at age 9. By the time he was a teen, he was already playing honky tonks. At age 16, he got his first taste of radio airplay when he took a tape of a song he had written to local radio station KAYD. "I had just gotten my driver's license, and I drove to the station at 2 a.m. and handed the DJ my tape. Unfortunately, it wasn't formatted to fit their equipment.
I was heart-broken, but what I didn't realize is that they were just trying to blow me off!" he laughs. But Walker didn't give up, coming back a week later with the tape properly formatted. "They took it, but they told me they might never play it, and I was crushed. But as I was driving away, they played it. I couldn't believe it! I had to pull my truck over."
After building a following in bars in Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and New Mexico, he signed to Giant in 1993, and released his debut album that year. The platinum Clay Walker spawned the #1s "What's It To You," "Live Until I Die" and "Dreaming With My Eyes Open." The title track from his platinum 1994 album If I Could Make A Living went #1, as did "This Woman And This Man."
From 1995's platinum Hypnotize The Moon, "Who Needs You Baby" and the title track topped the charts. 1997's platinum Rumor Has It boasted #1s in the title song and "Then What." "You're Beginning To Get To Me" on 1998's gold Greatest Hits was #1 too. His sixth album, the gold Live, Laugh, Love, debuted in the Top 5 in 1999 and "The Chain Of Love" became his most recent #1.
Not only has Walker sold more than eight million albums but for five straight years Billboard included one of his songs on its year-end Top 10 country list, a record unmatched in the same period by any other artist. For several years as well, he's been acknowledged as one of country's Top 10 box office touring acts.
In 2000, for the second consecutive year, Walker was the grand finale performer at the prestigious Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo at the Astrodome. Performers earlier in the event included Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard on opening night, the Judds' in their reunion performance, Latin heartthrob Enrique Iglesias and Motown's Smokey Robinson. So why was Walker again the closing act? Perhaps it's his romantic but fun-loving charm (he's been known to do the hula on stage between two inflatable palm trees for "Then What"). Perhaps, wrote the Houston Chronicle: "As he strode into the arena on a tall, chestnut horse with his black hat tipped to the crowd, there was some indication...the type of high-decibel female yowls normally reserved for movie stars."
A modest Walker can't explain the frenzy. "I'm a romantic, so I like love songs. I guess there are a lot of people out there that are in love or want to be in love," he says with a sheepish grin. His own greatest loves are his wife Lori and their two daughters, MaClay and Skylor. Walker's relationship with them and others was transformed dramatically in 1996 when he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
Though the disease is in remission, symptoms such as his right leg suddenly becoming very tired, do recur on occasion. "I'm very blessed," he says surprisingly. "More than ever I realize I'm in someone else's hands. It's great to not think you control things. We can't. It's like when we love someone; you can't control that. In my relationship and friendships and with my children, this learning experience has helped in every way. I've gained a lot of wisdom, and that's the only thing I've ever prayed for."
A blessing for music fans is that Walker has been that rare country artist acclaimed in both traditional and contemporary circles.
"If you go into a bar in Texas, you'll see people dancing to George Strait, but you'll see the same cowboys dancing to 'old time rock and roll,'" he says. "When I was playing those bars, I lived from paycheck to paycheck, and I knew that if those people weren't dancing, I wasn't going to get paid. My roots are about as deep as you can go in country, but at the same time I like to let my hair down a little."
Back in those days, he was searching for success and achievement. Both arrived. Now Clay Walker is the hunter once more. "If you sit still too long, something comes by and eats you," he says. "I'm hunting again, with a genuine passion for the music, and I really like that feeling."

Then you looked at me and smiled
The we sealed our love with one last kiss
And I walked you up the aisle
I′m ready for the next step in love

Oh, it's sinking in, baby, losing you has,

A Few Questions
How in this world can we put a man on the moon,
And still have a need for a place like St Jude's?
And why is one man born,
In a place where all they know is war?
An' a guy like me,
Has always been free.
An' how can two people who built a lovin' home,
Try for years an' never have a child of their own?
When somewhere out there tonight,
There's a baby no-one's holdin' tight:
In need of love.
To me, that don't add up.
But I wasn't there the day you filled up the oceans.
I didn't get to see you hang the stars in the sky.
So I don't mean to second guess you,
Or criticise what I don't understand.
These are just a few questions I have.
An' why did my cousin have to die in that crash?
A good kid, only seventeen, I still wonder 'bout that.
It seems unfair to me,
Some get the chance to chase their dreams,
An' some don't.
But what do I know?
I wasn't there the day you filled up the oceans.
I didn't get to see you hang the stars in the sky.
So I don't mean to second guess you,
Or criticise what I don't understand.

If You Ever Feel Like Loving Me Again
I remember when it all began,
You couldn't keep your body from my hands
I remember nights we felt so close.
How we got so distant, I don't know.
So as you plan your brand new life
Keep this one thing in mind:
If you ever feel, like lovin' me again,
The door's wide open, baby, walk right in.
I'll be waitin' 'til the end of time,
Heart and mind,
Now, just like back then.
If you ever feel like needin' someone,
Who will love you like I've always done.
Girl, I'll show you some things never end ,
If you ever feel like lovin' me again.
People change and, baby, so do dreams.
They move along to where the grass is green.
So I won't hold you down to what we had;
Last thing I wanna do is make you sad.
But if things don't fly your way,
Girl, it's never too late.
If you ever feel, like lovin' me again,
The door's wide open, baby, walk right in.
I'll be waitin' 'til the end of time,
Heart and mind,
Now, just like back then.
If you ever feel like needin' someone,
Who will love you like I've always done.
Girl, I'll show you some things never end ,

One, Two, I Love You
(Bucky Jone/Ed Hill)
Kindergarten, five years old
You and me and mother goose
Learning lines to nursery rhymes
That's when I feel in love with you
Back when it was
One, two buckle my shoe
Three Four shut the door
Five Six pick up sticks
Even then my heart was yours
College days miles apart
So afraid you'd forgot
Writing letters every day
And ending every one like this
One two I miss you
Three Four I walk the floor
Five Six come back quick
I dont wanna miss you no more
A little girl and little boy
Playing on a swing in the yard
As we watch I hold your hand
And you're still holding onto my heart
And now its
One two I love you
Three four lets have one more
Five six I wouldnt miss
A day of this for all the treasure on the ocean floor
One two I love you
Three four let's shut the door
Five six, kiss after kiss
I cant wait to hold you once more
How To Make A Man Lonesome
(Randy Boudreauz/Kim Williams)
Three weeks in Phoenix one night to go
You're lookin' too good and you're standing to close
That song on the jukebox
Your dance-with-me smile
Has got me thinkin'of someone
I haven't seen in a while
You sure know how to make a man lonesome
I see so much of my woman in you
You sure know how to make a man lonesome
But she knows how to keep her man true
Yes, I know that it's early
Why am I leaving so soon
Well,it's too warm in here
And it's me not the room
And the way that you're starin′
I've seen that look before
You're makin'me want her all that much more
You sure know how to make a man lonesome
I see so much of my woman in you
You sure know how to make a man lonesome
But she knows how to keep her man true
You sure know how to make a man lonesome
But she knows how to keep her man true
Clay Walker Things I Should Have Said
(Shawna Harrington-Burkhart/John Paul Daniel)
I love you so much in so many ways
I need you more and more every day
I want to spend my life with you
My love will never end
These are a few of the things
I should have said
Before you gave up on me
And walked out the door
Before you found someone else
You thought loved you more
He probably told you everything
That´s running through my head
Now it´s much too late to say
The things I should have said
You told me just as plain as it could be
How you needed to hear some words of love from me
I never thought it mattered much
Now it sure looks like it did
Oh, why didn´t I say the things
I should have said
Before you gave up on me
And walked out the door
Before you found someone else
You thought loved you more
He probably told you everything
That´s running through my head
Now it´s much too late to say
The things I should have said
He probably told you everything
That´s running through my head
Now it´s much too late to say
The things I should have said
Now I´ll never get the chance to say
The things I should have said

About Clay Walker
Born: August 19, 1969, Beaumont, TX
"Before, I was walking along a fence," says Clay Walker. "Now I feel like I've jumped into the tall grass and I'm the hunter. I've always loved what I do, but now I'm back in love with the music. It's passionate again." Call it the seventh-album itch as Say No More, produced by Byron Gallimore (Faith Hill, Tim McGraw), Blake Mevis, Brent Mason and Walker, follows four platinum and two gold albums, and 11 #1 singles, from one of contemporary country's most successful artists.
"I haven't ever put this much time or as much heart and soul into an album, not even the first one," continues Texan Walker. "I let it all hang out, gave everything I have to this. There have always been one or two great songs on previous albums but I always seemed to stop short of going all the way for every song. This album was difficult to make because I didn't hide the emotions I went through on every song. It's why I love singing, because I'm actually living the songs while I'm singing them."I'm actually living the songs while I'm singing them."
That, he says, is what sets Say No More apart. "This album is more about real situations, it's more where people live, less dreamy, nothing slick. There's emotion in every single cut, and that's the most important thing about a record--the vocal has to speak to people."
From the first single, "Say No More," with its edgy chord progression, to Walker's stunning Spanish-language cover of "La Bamba," from the Texas swing of "Texas Swing" to the can't-get-it-out-of-your-head melody of "If You Ever Feel Like Lovin' Me Again," from the honky tonk of "Rough Around The Edges" to the pure country of "She's Easy To Hold," Say No More puts Walker's voice and emotion front and center--and he makes it seem simple.
"Being simple is complicated," explains the straightforward singer-songwriter. "It's when we run on emotion, when we know enough to be simple, is where we find happiness, where we touch on what's most important.
That's why I don't try to figure out success. That's the worst thing that can happen to an artist because then you start second guessing your emotion and end up doing more of what you think got you there rather than trusting your heart."
His rendition of Ritchie Valens' "La Bamba" is but one example on Say No More of Walker's willingness to trust himself and step ahead of the pack. With his large fan base in the Southwest, Walker insisted on recording the 1958 hit in its original Spanish, his first recording in the language.
Even his personal list of the three greatest singing voices stretches the envelope for a country star: yes, Merle Haggard first, but Celine Dion second and Bing Crosby third. "I've heard people say Texans are pretty independent by nature and there aren't a lot of apologies for the way we are. We're friendly and comfortable being who we are--and I guess I fit in that mold." Walker grew up in Beaumont, Texas in a musical family, and began playing guitar at age 9. By the time he was a teen, he was already playing honky tonks. At age 16, he got his first taste of radio airplay when he took a tape of a song he had written to local radio station KAYD. "I had just gotten my driver's license, and I drove to the station at 2 a.m. and handed the DJ my tape. Unfortunately, it wasn't formatted to fit their equipment.
I was heart-broken, but what I didn't realize is that they were just trying to blow me off!" he laughs. But Walker didn't give up, coming back a week later with the tape properly formatted. "They took it, but they told me they might never play it, and I was crushed. But as I was driving away, they played it. I couldn't believe it! I had to pull my truck over."
After building a following in bars in Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and New Mexico, he signed to Giant in 1993, and released his debut album that year. The platinum Clay Walker spawned the #1s "What's It To You," "Live Until I Die" and "Dreaming With My Eyes Open." The title track from his platinum 1994 album If I Could Make A Living went #1, as did "This Woman And This Man."
From 1995's platinum Hypnotize The Moon, "Who Needs You Baby" and the title track topped the charts. 1997's platinum Rumor Has It boasted #1s in the title song and "Then What." "You're Beginning To Get To Me" on 1998's gold Greatest Hits was #1 too. His sixth album, the gold Live, Laugh, Love, debuted in the Top 5 in 1999 and "The Chain Of Love" became his most recent #1.
Not only has Walker sold more than eight million albums but for five straight years Billboard included one of his songs on its year-end Top 10 country list, a record unmatched in the same period by any other artist. For several years as well, he's been acknowledged as one of country's Top 10 box office touring acts.
In 2000, for the second consecutive year, Walker was the grand finale performer at the prestigious Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo at the Astrodome. Performers earlier in the event included Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard on opening night, the Judds' in their reunion performance, Latin heartthrob Enrique Iglesias and Motown's Smokey Robinson. So why was Walker again the closing act? Perhaps it's his romantic but fun-loving charm (he's been known to do the hula on stage between two inflatable palm trees for "Then What"). Perhaps, wrote the Houston Chronicle: "As he strode into the arena on a tall, chestnut horse with his black hat tipped to the crowd, there was some indication...the type of high-decibel female yowls normally reserved for movie stars."
A modest Walker can't explain the frenzy. "I'm a romantic, so I like love songs. I guess there are a lot of people out there that are in love or want to be in love," he says with a sheepish grin. His own greatest loves are his wife Lori and their two daughters, MaClay and Skylor. Walker's relationship with them and others was transformed dramatically in 1996 when he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
Though the disease is in remission, symptoms such as his right leg suddenly becoming very tired, do recur on occasion. "I'm very blessed," he says surprisingly. "More than ever I realize I'm in someone else's hands. It's great to not think you control things. We can't. It's like when we love someone; you can't control that. In my relationship and friendships and with my children, this learning experience has helped in every way. I've gained a lot of wisdom, and that's the only thing I've ever prayed for."
A blessing for music fans is that Walker has been that rare country artist acclaimed in both traditional and contemporary circles.
"If you go into a bar in Texas, you'll see people dancing to George Strait, but you'll see the same cowboys dancing to 'old time rock and roll,'" he says. "When I was playing those bars, I lived from paycheck to paycheck, and I knew that if those people weren't dancing, I wasn't going to get paid. My roots are about as deep as you can go in country, but at the same time I like to let my hair down a little."
Back in those days, he was searching for success and achievement. Both arrived. Now Clay Walker is the hunter once more. "If you sit still too long, something comes by and eats you," he says. "I'm hunting again, with a genuine passion for the music, and I really like that feeling."

Next Step In Love
Solid gold candle holders
And an old bottle of wine
You let your hair down on your shoulders
And you pressed your lips to mine
The rain beat soft against the window
As the night turned into dawn
As I looked deep into your eyes
I knew where my heart belonged
I′m ready for the next step in love
Girl, you′re all that I can think of
Isn′t my love good enough
I′m ready for the next step in love
Solid white wedding dress
And a long white veil
We put all our fears to rest
And we let this ship set sail
I placed the ring on your finger
Then you looked at me and smiled
The we sealed our love with one last kiss
And I walked you up the aisle
I′m ready for the next step in love
Girl, you′re all that I can think of
Isn′t my love good enough
I′m ready for the next step in love

Girl, I'll show you some things never end ,
If you ever feel like lovin' me again.
People change and, baby, so do dreams.
They move along to where the grass is green.
So I won't hold you down to what we had;
Last thing I wanna do is make you sad.
But if things don't fly your way,
Girl, it's never too late.
If you ever feel, like lovin' me again,
The door's wide open, baby, walk right in.
I'll be waitin' 'til the end of time,
Heart and mind,
Now, just like back then.
If you ever feel like needin' someone,
Who will love you like I've always done.
Girl, I'll show you some things never end ,
If you ever feel like lovin' me again.
If you ever feel like needin' someone,
Who will love you like I've always done.
Girl, I'll show you some things never end ,
If you ever feel like lovin' me again.

One, Two, I Love You
(Bucky Jone/Ed Hill)
Kindergarten, five years old
You and me and mother goose
Learning lines to nursery rhymes
That's when I feel in love with you
Back when it was
One, two buckle my shoe
Three Four shut the door
Five Six pick up sticks
Even then my heart was yours
College days miles apart
So afraid you'd forgot
Writing letters every day
And ending every one like this
One two I miss you
Three Four I walk the floor
Five Six come back quick
I dont wanna miss you no more
A little girl and little boy
Playing on a swing in the yard
As we watch I hold your hand
And you're still holding onto my heart
And now its
One two I love you
Three four lets have one more
Five six I wouldnt miss
A day of this for all the treasure on the ocean floor
One two I love you
Three four let's shut the door
Five six, kiss after kiss
I cant wait to hold you once more
How To Make A Man Lonesome
(Randy Boudreauz/Kim Williams)
Three weeks in Phoenix one night to go
You're lookin' too good and you're standing to close
That song on the jukebox
Your dance-with-me smile
Has got me thinkin'of someone
I haven't seen in a while
You sure know how to make a man lonesome
I see so much of my woman in you
You sure know how to make a man lonesome
But she knows how to keep her man true
Yes, I know that it's early
Why am I leaving so soon
Well,it's too warm in here
And it's me not the room
And the way that you're starin′
I've seen that look before
You're makin'me want her all that much more
You sure know how to make a man lonesome
I see so much of my woman in you
You sure know how to make a man lonesome
But she knows how to keep her man true
You sure know how to make a man lonesome
But she knows how to keep her man true
Clay Walker Things I Should Have Said
(Shawna Harrington-Burkhart/John Paul Daniel)
I love you so much in so many ways
I need you more and more every day
I want to spend my life with you
My love will never end
These are a few of the things
I should have said
Before you gave up on me
And walked out the door
Before you found someone else
You thought loved you more
He probably told you everything
That´s running through my head
Now it´s much too late to say
The things I should have said
You told me just as plain as it could be
How you needed to hear some words of love from me
I never thought it mattered much
Now it sure looks like it did
Oh, why didn´t I say the things
I should have said
Before you gave up on me
And walked out the door
Before you found someone else
You thought loved you more
He probably told you everything
That´s running through my head
Now it´s much too late to say
The things I should have said
He probably told you everything
That´s running through my head
Now it´s much too late to say
The things I should have said
Now I´ll never get the chance to say
The things I should have said

真情大赌注主题曲《像第一天一样》
《All In》Just as the first day（中文歌词）
我说,我必须离开,
握着你的手,除了哭泣我什么都不能做
对你说,有一天我一定会再回来
然后,我们一定会再相视微笑
**
我怕
长久的等待为我带来的是爱
但却只能带给你伤害
原谅我,像个笨蛋般的我
有一天,如果我们能再相见
我要拥你入怀,告诉你
你是我所能够幸存的唯一理由
没有你,我将是不存在的
有一天,真到了这荆棘般人生的尽头
如果在你身旁闭上我的双眼
请记得你是我最后的爱,一如当初
害怕自己一闭上双眼就会忘了你
所以我不能这样轻易地睡去即使是在悲伤的夜里
害怕自己会流泪如果在梦中见到你
所以我不能睁开我的双眼
**(重复)
