《Born to Die/难逃一死》是唱作歌手Lana Del Rey的首张主流厂牌专辑，也是她的第二张录音室专辑。专辑二单《Born to Die》在2011年12月30日放出，此曲在当时备受乐评人喜爱，独特的演唱技巧和出挑的声线获得称赞，但贯穿整张专辑过强的戏剧性也受到些许批评。
“当时人们不把我当做严肃认真的音乐人，所以我就压低声调，我想那样的话我或许就能脱颖而出。” Del Rey这样解释自己低沉的音线。
《Video Games》和《Born to Die》两首歌曲被归为“类歌厅民谣（Quasi-Cabaret Balladry）”和“独立流行乐”，好似“酒后微醺催人入睡的音轨灵歌”。Del Rey则把自己的音乐叫做“好莱坞悲核（Hollywood sadcore）”，她还称自己是“匪徒版的Nancy Sinatra”。

Del Rey在被问到她的音乐风格时这样说：“我很乐意成为独立音乐的一份子。但我真的不是。我当时是在寻找一种归属。我甚至不认识任何音乐人。我TM根本搞不清什么是独立音乐，因为一旦有人接触到它，它在某种意义上就成了流行音乐，对吧… …我并不是（像人们说的那样）之前在做独立音乐现在不做了。是这样，我一直活在路上，而不是真的睡在大街上，懂吗？”（网络整理）

所谓神曲,真的是可遇不可求的东西。谁曾想过，两首大热的流行单曲会被用这样的方式结和：Taylor Swift《Love Story》加上Coldplay《Viva La Vida》钢琴加上大提琴，就成了这首神曲。虽然这首歌才在Youtube上放出不到一个月，却已经受到了普遍的关注，MV的视频到处流传。现如今，拼贴已不是时髦的事情，流行歌手的专辑里把歌曲随便拼一拼就是一个Bonus。但当我们听到熟悉的旋律以这样的方式响起还是不自觉的被他吸引。
　　流行音乐和古典音乐原来可以碰撞的如此完美。而这样一首曲子仅仅是作曲家Jon Schmidt的一个游戏之作，她听到七岁的女儿在听这首《Love Story》灵感突发创作了这首曲子。他找来Steven Sharp Nelson加了弦乐做了改编，再加上那个有点诙谐的MV，注定让这首曲子成为流行的经典。
　　创作者自述：
　　独白大意：这段曲子是献给我女儿萨拉的，7岁的小可爱～她喜欢Taylor Swift这首歌，最喜欢其中那段调子改变的地方，好像男孩先很害怕未来的岳父不答应，后来他终于对女朋友高兴地说，我和你爸爸谈过了，然后向她求婚，一起选婚纱（好早熟的小姑娘）～我加长了这一部分～然后我觉得应该转到Coldplay的Viva La Vida上了，所以这就是Love Story遇见Viva La Vida　
　

The Piano Guys国内好像还没有一个正式的名称，在此我就暂且称他们为“钢琴伙计”。他们的音乐很优美，而且演奏形式令人叹为观止，有的一人完成演奏一场交响乐，有点把夹到手疼的叫声也融入其中。

　　The Piano Guys的前身是美国犹他州圣乔治的一家乐器店。他们推出的音乐视频制作巧妙，画面优美很适合边听边看。
　　某天，Paul在店里等客人，Jon Schmidt走进来，希望能够借一架钢琴来为自己要演出的音乐会练习。Paul被Jon Schmidt的音乐天赋震惊了，之后他们就开始一起做MV。

　　”刚开始，做出来视频都很单调，但久而久之，我们渐渐能够做出来复杂的作品。我们和Jon拍摄出几个视频后，他把我们介绍给了Steven Sharp Nelson，我们见过最好的大提琴家。Jon和Steven已经合作演出很多年了，我们发现，合作起来，我们能够成立起一个出色的团队。就这样我们有了后来的成就。”——摘自thepianoguys官方网站。

“The sore feet song”是Ally Kerr为动画片《虫师》录制的主题曲。歌里唱的是一位虫师，为寻找虫与人的共存方式而走访各地，就像一个无法停下脚步的旅行者，为寻找生命的意义而到处漂泊。

动画片讲的是人的感情，生命的繁衍，沧海桑田等一些很典型但又略带哀伤的东西，就像音乐中所呈现的那种淡淡的哀愁。我们的主角就是一个将故事串连起来的旅者，徒步旅行，珍视生命，带着寂寞、痛苦，依靠内心看不见的太阳而不断前行。

无论是歌曲或是动画片，都简单而又纯粹。它们抛弃了过多的浮夸，让人能感受到最贴近生命本源的那份感动。

I walked ten thousand miles, ten thousands miles to see you
And ever gasp to breath, I grabbed it just to find you
I climbed up every hill to get to you
I wandered ancient lands to hold just you

And every single step of the way, I paid
Every single night and day I searched for you
Through sand storms and hazy dawns I reached for you

I stole ten thousands pounds, ten thousand pounds to see you
I robbed convenience sotres coz I thought they’d make it easier
I lived off rats and toads and I starved for you
I fought off giant bears and I killed them too

And every single step of the way, I paid
Every single night and day I searched for you
Through sand storms and hazy dawns I reached for you
I’m tired and I’m weak but I’m strong for you
I want to go home but my love gets me through

我走了一万里、一万里的路，只为见到你
我的每一次呼吸，都是为了寻找你

我翻越每一座山，只为能到达你身边
我流浪在这片古老的土地上，只为能将你拥入怀中

无数的孤单足迹，每一步，我这样付出
日日夜夜，我找寻你的身影
穿越沙暴与晨雾弥漫的拂晓，我终于与你相遇

我偷走了千万英镑，只是为了见你
我想从便利店劫取会比较容易
我过着颠沛流离的生活，我了你我忍饥挨饿
我也在与巨熊的搏斗中赢得胜利

无数的孤单足迹，每一步，我这样付出
日日夜夜，我找寻你的身影
穿越沙暴与晨雾弥漫的拂晓，我终于与你相遇

我很疲惫，很虚弱， 但我会为你坚强
我多么想回家，是爱帮我度过难关

Sweet and high at the break of dawn
Simple tune that you can hum along too
I remember there was a time
When I used to sing for you
Do do do, do do do
Do do do, do do do
Do do do, do do do
I used to sing for you
Do do do, do do do
Do do do, do do do do
Do do do, do do do
Knew all the words to the popular songs
With the radio on full volume
I remember there was a time
When I used to sing for you
Do do do, do do do
Do do do, do do do do
Do do do, do do do
I used to sing for you
Do do do, do do do
Do do do, do do do do
Do do do, do do do
Forget the chorus, you’re the bridge
The words and music to everyday I’ve lived
There’s nothing, I wouldn’t give
For one more time, when I can sing for you
Do do do, do do do
Do do do, do do do do
Do do do, do do do
Oh Yeah
Do do do, do do do
Do do do, do do do do
Do do do, do do do
Soft and low when the evening comes
Holding you, sleeping in my arms
I remember there was a time
When I used to sing for you
Do do do, do do do
Do do do, do do do
Do do do, do do do
I used to sing for you
Do do do, do do do
Do do do, do do do do
Do do do, do do do
Do do do, do do do
Do do do, do do do do
Do do do, do do do
I used to sing for you

Baby ballerina’s hiding somewhere in the corner
Where the shadow wraps around her
And our torches cannot find her
She will stay there ’til the morning
Crawl behind us as we are yawning
And she will leave our games to never be the same
So Grow Tall Sugar Cane
Eat that Soil, Drink the Rain
But know that they’ll chase you if you play their little games
So run, run fast Sugar Cane
You see my peep show booth is handy
There’s a one way only mirror
So I can dance here with my hair down
But i don’t see if you get bitter
and there’s a button right beside me
if i happen to want a wall to hide me
If only the ballerina had one too
So Grow Tall Sugar Cane.
Eat that Soil, Drink the Rain
But know that they’ll chase you if you play their little games
So run, run fast Sugar Cane
And she said always, be afraid
Yeah you should always, be afraid
To Grow Tall Sugar Cane
Eat the Soil, Drink the Rain
But know that they’ll chase you if you play their little games
So run, run fast Sugar Cane
You’d better run, run fast Sugar Cane
You’d better run, run fast Sugar Cane

Of all my wrongs honey you have been my right step
I’m takin’ off honey will you be my flight deck?
You and me wing and wing soaring high
Like birds leaving burning trees
Of all the people in the room I caught your eye
Firm handshake, you took me by surprise
Didn’t know you would notice me
Before I ever got to notice you
And I know I’m not always right
But I got good feelings tonight
And I know
You’ll take me where I want to go
Hot tights, you’re like silk on my torso
You grab my hips and you pull me real close, oh
Here I am, look at me melting fast
Like chocolate in a double dutch pan
You drive me crazy with the freckles on your shoulders
Sometimes I wonder what you’ll look like when you’re older
Say it now, it doesn’t matter to me
All that matters is that your soul stays warm
CHORUS
I can say without regret
That I’ve loved every second I spent with you
And I’ll say you are my pet
But I won’t call you baby like the others do
No I won’t call you baby like the others do
No, no, that’s just not my style
CHORUS x2
You’ll take me where I want to go
You’ll take me where I want to go
You’ll take me where I want to go

任性妄为过很多次，亲爱的，你却是我正确的选择，
我要走了，亲爱的，要跟我一起翱翔吗？
让我们彼此相拥着，冲破云霄，
就好比是那一对鸟儿结伴飞离火海中的树木。
芸芸众生之中，我们的眼中只有彼此，
你紧紧地握着我的手，我有些受宠若惊，
我还不知道，在我注意到你之前，
你却已经先注意到了我。
我知道，我老是冲动行事，
但，今晚不会有错，
我知道，
你会带我去我心之所系的地方。
衣衫褪尽，你如丝般的交缠在我的身上，我爱你那火热的大腿，
你托着我的双臀，我们紧抵在一起，喔，
此时此景，我已浑身酥软无力，
就好比是巧克力在那双层荷兰锅上慢慢化开。
你肩上的雀斑让我疯狂不已，
有时我会想，你老了会是个什么样子呢，
对我来说，那些我都不介意，
只要你有着一颗温暖我的心灵。
副歌
跟你在一起，我无怨无悔，
与你一起的每时每刻，我都奉若珍宝，
你是我的宝贝儿，
但我不会像其他人一样喊你宝贝，
我才不会像其他人一样喊你宝贝，
不，不，不，我不做那样的事。
副歌X2
你会带我去我心之所系的地方，
你会带我去我心之所系的地方，
你会带我去我心之所系的地方。

I knew I loved you

Like in your eyes就象在你眼中
I see my future in an instant我看到了我的未来
And there it goes时光如斯——
I think I’ve found my best friend我已经觅到了我最好的朋友

I think I dreamed you into life我觉得与你相伴，如醉如梦
I knew I loved you before I met you我知道在我们相遇前便已经爱上你
I have been waiting all my life我已经等了整整一生

I see the missing pieces相思化成千万碎片
I’m searching for我在寻找着你
I think I’ve found my way home我找到了回家了路
I know that it might sound more than a little crazy这听上去有一点疯狂

A thousand angels dance around you无数天使在你身旁飞舞
I am complete now that I’ve found you找到你才是完整的我

Love in December，在这个冬日，如水晶般透明的闪耀。
温柔的吟唱，就像十二月的点点阳光，洒下来，然后就醉了。

纤细而甜美的呢喃，轻轻咬过耳朵。
Don’t you worry,I’ll be there for you.
好像真的可以在这样的声音里化掉。

透明的，轻灵的，轻轻把我包裹，熨帖着我难过的心情。
于是，心也仿佛慢慢卸下防备，如羽毛温柔的飞舞。

十二月的爱情，是否如这般清透，如碧蓝天空里温柔的日光。
一点点照在脸上的温度，就足够让人幸福的睡去。

Artist:Club 8
Song:Love In December

So this is love
In the end of december
Quiet nights
Quiet stars
And i’m here
Monday to sunday
Cause you’re fragile
And i’m weak

So you fall
When the nights grow longer
Into sleep
And won’t wake up

Don’t you worry
I’ll be there for you
Don’t worry about me
You know me better than that
I’ll catch you if you would fall

So you drift
When the days grow colder
Away from me
And won’t look back
Far away
And i can’t guide you
But i’m here
Til the spring

Don’t you worry
I’ll be there for you
Don’t worry about me
You know me better than that
I’ll catch you if you would fall

Artist：Il Divo
Song：Mama

Mama thank you for who I am

Forgive me for the words unsaid And for the times I forgot
原谅我词不达意，以及常常忘却
Mama remember all my life
牢记妈妈为我做的一切
You showed me love,you sacrificed
为我献出所有爱，无怨无悔
Think of those young and early days
回忆那幼稚过往
How I’ve changed
我要进取
Along the way (along the way)
矢志不移
And I know you believed. And I know you had dreams. And I’m sorry it took all this time to see That I am where I am because of your truth
抱歉我花了这么长的时间，才弄明白你的梦想，因为你的真，才有今天的我
And I miss you , I miss you
我多么多么的想念你
Mama forgive the times you cried， Forgive me for not making right
妈妈原谅我伤你心，原谅我一事无成
All of the storms I may have caused And I’ve been wrong

擦干你的泪水

我明白你一直坚信我是最捧
Mama I hope this makes you smile .I hope you’re happy with my life At peace with every choice I made
妈妈我希望能给你微笑，给你带来幸福,平静地面对我的选择

No amount of coffee
No amount of crying
No amount of whiskey
No amount of wine
No-no-no-no-no, nothing else will do

I’ve gotta have you
I’ve gotta have you

绕口令似的歌词，听着竟有些感动，这份感动一直持续至今，在这样一个寒冷的季节，像清晨射入房间的一缕阳光。

我想，当初自己之所以痴迷摇滚，源于的也是同一种感动，只是后来五迷三道被一些乌七八糟的自以为搞糊涂了。高虎唱请不要停止我的音乐，实话，这是对一个音乐来人来说，而对于每一个热爱音乐的听众来说，把属于热血的归还给热血，只要不停止我的感动，就足够了。

在任何一个季节，当你走进办公间，睡眼惺忪，坐在电脑屏前，准备忙碌一天开始之前，不妨给自己播放一段音乐，管它俗不俗呢，管它口水不口水呢，感动你了吗？感动了，感动了就好，让你的心情能为之一振，甚至温暖。

我想我还不算一个成熟的成年人，年少不识愁滋味，胡说八道，而今初识愁滋味，欲说还休，欲说还休。

Gray, quiet and tired and mean
Picking at a worried seam
Itry to make you mad at me over the phone.
Red eyes and fire and signs
I’m taken by a nursery rhyme
I want to make a ray of sunshine and never leave home

No amount of coffee, no amount of crying
No amount of whiskey, no amount of wine
No, nothing else will do
I’ve gotta have you, I’ve gotta have you.

The road gets cold, there’s no spring in the middle this year
I’m the new chicken clucking open hearts and ears
Oh, such a prima donna, sorry for myself
But green, it is also summer
And I won’t be warm till I’m lying in your arms

I see it all through a telescope: guitar, suitcase, and a warm coat
Lying in the back of the blue boat, humming a tune
