When you say nothing at all by Alison Krauss

Alison Krauss是美國藍草音樂(blue grass, 美國鄉村音樂的其中一種,主要用小提琴、曼陀林(mandolin),木吉他和斑鳩琴)的重要女歌手,她與她的樂隊Union Station在十多年來,在美國鄉村音樂界仍然很受歡迎.

怕不來及blog的Milly喜歡Alison Krauss的歌聲,真好呢,我也喜歡她的歌聲,很恬靜清新樸實,充滿感情卻不濫情.

她最近與英國搖滾樂界殿堂級猛人, Led Zeppelin的Robert Plant 合作出新碟( 實在想像不到藍草的清新含蓄與搖滾的狂野外顯如何調和?)"Raising Sand".卻出奇地,意外地有很好的效果.






Robert Plant 一次參加演唱會,聽過Alison Krauss的現場演出,對她的歌聲驚為天人,才想出一起合作的主意.Alison Krauss也嚇了一跳,因為真有些風牛馬不相及嘛..

Alison Krauss的When you say nothing at all, 好像是電影Notting Hill的插曲. 唱得令人舒服平靜.此歌最先由Paul Overstreet、Don Schlitz合作作曲,88年由鄉村 歌手Keith Whitley唱.

除了Alison Krauss重唱外,還有Ronan Keating.



It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word you can light up the dark
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
Old Mr. Webster could never define
What's being said between your heart and mine

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

What I heard form the original lyrics shows two different sentences:
if ever ===> whenever
line 3 = line 11
