“少年,拯救全人类的使命就包在你身上了!”
If It Makes You Happy - Sheryl Crow

Exile:

接觸Sheryl Crow的歌的時候已經聽了好幾年外國音樂,朋友送我一張她的新盤,說她的新專不行(《Wildflower》)那張,我聽著奇怪,明明我覺得很好聽啊!然後倒回去聽她的舊歌,明白為何我朋友會有點失望。

翻查她的資料,才發現她跟Owen Wilson傳過緋聞,而且還是民謠天后。後來買了她的一張精選(《The Very Best Of Sheryl Crow》),特別喜歡幾首歌,其中一首就是現選的《If it Makes You Happy》)。

很喜歡她那少女的唱腔,卻也有那種成熟的爆發力。

每每聽到這首歌,都有一種「夏天聽Sheryl Crow才是王道」的感覺。

Sheryl Crow

"If It Makes You Happy"

I've been long, a long way from here
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos,
And drank til I was thirsty again
We went searching through thrift store jungles
Found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo
And Benny Goodman's corset and pen

Well, o.k. I made this up
I promised you I'd never give up

[Chorus]
If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad

You get down, real low down
You listen to Coltrane, derail your own train
Well who hasn't been there before?
I come round, around the hard way
Bring you comics in bed, scrape the mold off the bread
And serve you french toast again

Well, o.k. I still get stoned
I'm not the kind of girl you'd take home

[Chorus]

We've been far, far away from here
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos
And everywhere in between
Well, o.k. we get along
So what if right now everything's wrong?

[Chorus]
