Ben's Brother--Let me out

這次介紹的是來自英國的Ben's Brother(班的兄弟) 他們的首張專輯Beta male fairytales , EMI的音樂部落格上把它翻成次男傳奇,真的是太有趣了,上去他們的官網看了一下他們的簡介,發現這個團名和專輯名稱都是有原因的. 原來阿主唱也就是團長Jamie Hartman,有個非常有運動才能的哥哥(Ben), 從小他就一直活在它哥哥的盛名之下, 大家永遠都只記得它是Ben的弟弟, 很少人注意到它優異的音樂天份, 在很小的時候就可以創作歌曲, 而他哥哥把他創作的cd分享給其他人時, cd上頭甚至寫著ben's brother,後來才越來越多人注意的這位弟弟的聲音. 妙的是當Jamie成名之後, 竟自嘲地用Ben's brother 來當團名, 而發行的第一張專輯名稱也充滿了自謔的意味, 看來他對自己的beta male的身分也挺坦然的. 這張專輯除了主打歌Let me out之外,有許多歌曲 也很好聽像是carry on 和 beauty queen. 個人最喜歡beauty queen 這首歌,可惜網路上沒有人分享這首歌.所以這次介紹的是Let me out .一開始的鋼琴伴奏,有Keane的感覺,但Jamie滄桑的聲音一出就立刻有了他獨特的風格.非常欣賞他們的樂風,讓人有種聽不膩的舒適感.想聽其他歌的朋友可以上官網試聽喔!

Let me out





Lyrics
You sit and you stare and you wait and you wonder
You think "Maybe it's me and I'm being a fool."
You start to believe it's a curse that you're under
And you're just a doll for a girl who is cruel
With a pin

So let me out
Or let me in
And tell me how, we can win
Cause I really wanna know now
Before I begin
To let you go
(To let you go)
So let me know

I'd rather be wandering hungry and homeless
Than here in the warmth of a silent defeat
You've gotta be honest with me and be ruthless
‘stead of shifting uncomfortably there in your seat
And your skin

Ch 2

And who'd've thought I'd have the strength to say
"Let me out or let me in"
But as the words are pouring from my mouth
I wanna say them again, and again and again

So let me out
Or let me in
And tell me how, we can win
Cause I really wanna know now
Before I begin
To let you go
(To let you go)
Oh
Let me out, or let me in,
Oh no no
And tell me how
We can win
Oh no I really wanna know now
Before I begin
Oh to let you go, to let you go
Let me know
