FourSeasons' Capriccio

我還記得第一次在唱片行試聽這張專輯時，
這首”The moon is a hrash mistress”的第一句才出現，
全身雞皮疙瘩、汗毛豎起的瞬間。
我以為是老闆的音響特別好的關係，
可是回家用自己的音響播放，還是讓我驚訝不已！

由Steve Dobrogosz和挪威女歌手Radka Toneff合作的專輯
《Fairytales》真的是天籟之音，也是絕響，
因為主唱Radka在錄完這張專輯後，就因感情問題自殺了，
那時她才30歲而已。

Radka的音色清純甜美、嬌嫩，
僅搭配單純通透的鋼琴琴音，不會給我甜膩的感覺。
每次聽她的聲音都覺得很適合在下雨天、陰雨綿綿時聆聽，
也許是她的歌聲中帶著一股淡淡的憂愁吧，
但總要叮嚀自己，不能太過沈溺於這種感覺，
聽完後要記得將自己從這種感覺中抽離～～～

(台北現在正是陰雨綿綿的天氣呢！)

The moon is a harsh mistress

See her how she flies
Golden sails across the skies
Close enough to touch
But careful if you try
Though she looks as warm as gold
The moon's a harsh mistress
The moon can be so cold
Once the sun did shine
And lord it felt so fine
The moon a phantom rose
Through the mountains and the pine
And then the darkness fell
The moon's a harsh mistress
It's hard to love her well
I fell out of his eyes
I fell out of his heart
I fell down on my face
And I tripped and I missed my star
And I fell and fell alone
The moon's a harsh mistress
The sky is made of stone
The moon's a harsh mistress
She's hard to call your own
