Matt Costa

简介： Matt Costa：Matt Costa，在12岁的时候获赠生平第一把吉他；不过很快的，另一项更刺激的活动吸引了他--滑板。虽然比一般滑板选手还晚接触这项运动，但是加倍勤练的Matt Costa迅速展现了过人的天赋和技巧，甚至差一点点就转为职业选手。不过三年前练习时的一场严重意外让Matt Costa摔断了腿，不仅得花18个月治疗和复健，也从此改变了他的命运。在那一段人生中的低潮时光，他重拾吉他投入全副精力练习弹奏和创作，并开始用简单的录音器材灌录自己的唱作。 Matt Costa有一副天生的好嗓子，清冽明亮，也许是在加州长大的缘故，他的歌声阳光明媚，没有任何阴郁与颓废，即便是“Cold December”这样看起来冷冷的歌，在有如寒风一般的吉他声刮过之后，留在在你耳边的还是暖暖的阳光。 这是一张可以从头到尾微笑着听完的专辑，Matt Costa很善于在配器和演唱的细节处营造一些小趣味，象标题歌“Songs We Sing”开头和过场俏皮的口琴，“Sweet Rose”里的小颤音、“Whiskey And Wine”里那声“Oh！”，小小的精致的幽默感恰到好处又不会有卖弄的感觉，让你听着听着不时嘴角就会泛起一丝微笑。 Matt Costa的作品旋律极为清新明快，整张专辑里隐隐约约闪现着乡村音乐、摇滚乐、爵士乐、古典音乐以及60年代流行乐的味道，充满了信手拈来自成一派的妙趣，专注的嗓音加上娴熟的吉他弹奏，眼前不禁就会浮现出一个青葱少年的形象，后来上网一搜他的照片，还真就是一副校园歌手的模样，可见乐由心声还真是有这么回事。 “Whiskey And Wine”属于听过一耳就忍不住要翻来覆去听的曲子，老派的爵士曲风在Matt Costa妙手调教下，变得如此灵动妙趣，即兴重复的片段韵味十足；“Oh Dear”、“Desire's Only Fling”应是向老式英伦摇滚致敬之作，而“Behind The Moon”则是带有踢踏舞曲节拍的怀旧小品；“Sweet Rose”则又是一幅加州乡村风光，轻松、跳跃的甜蜜玫瑰；“Sunshine”，开唱前用来替代架子鼓鼓槌敲击声的“1、2、3”加上那句“sha la la”，越听越象是校园歌手，污浊的唱片工业总算有点清新空气了；压轴的“Wash Away”是专辑里我非常喜爱的一首，诗一般的歌词配上Matt Costa深情的吟唱，Matt Costa的才气真是让人妒忌. 专辑 2010 9月21日 Mobile Chateau 2008 Unfamiliar Faces 2006 Songs We Sing EP专辑 2003: Matt Costa EP 2005: The Elasmosaurus EP 单曲 2006: "Cold December" 2006: "Sweet Thursday" 2006: "Sunshine" 2008: "Mr. Pitiful" 2010: "The Season" Unfamiliar Face：1.

how the tigers all laughed as i ran along the well worn paths sapphire eye looks down on my lilacs down on my lilacs, down on my lilacs down on me, down on me, down on insincere as we rolled for years in turning barrels i washed my hands in the lake as you blew it all away with roman candles so take your fever let me wallow alone the callus on your eyes have grown sapphire eye looks down on my lilacs down on my lilacs, down on my lilacs down on me, down on me, down on and your faults have me stoned paying rent to your ghost torn up by a frightened little girl i thought that you were right so i was up all night thinking about you i thought that you were right, you were right you were right, you were right you were right and i was up all night thinking about you and i couldn't speak, covered with bees you flew above me figured it all out, i think you've had enough time i've had long enough to change my mind Never Looking Back：burnt trees on a snowy pass all my friends are far behind i'm stuck with you tonight but i'd be better alone so come on wheels take me far away where i don't have debts to pay i can't count on yesterday to find the way home i know it happens all the time but they don't have my back so i'm never looking back plumes of smoke rise high above burned bridges lost in luck i guess it's lost in luck i guess it's all because they're found on the fault on sandy ground foundations can't be found and all the stones of change were thrown in my face i know it happens all the time i heard them talk behind my back so i'm never looking back never looking back

and the trees Are they just what you need Or are they less than what You'd expect to see And if you're leaving well come Give me reason why I let you down Before you turn around now now Before you turn around Astair you're there and I'm still here I swear I'm so confused The signs you wear are making me Feel like I'm the one to lose But the canyons and the seas Are they just what you need Or are they less than what You'd expect to see And if you're leaving well come Give me reason why I let you down Before you turn around now, now Before you turn around But the mountains and the trees Are they what you perceive Or are they less than what You'd expect to see And if you're leaving well come Give me reason why I let you down Before you turn around now, now Before you turn around Before you turn around Oh Dear：Early in the morning clouds are dropping on my head Remind me the things last night I should have left unsaid So please forgive the words I use, my mind it tends to run Away with the small ideas, I know I'm not the only one So dear, oh dear My head it tends to stray away sometimes I cant see clear Oh dear, oh dear In spite of all the things I said, I always want you near Sometimes it rains, sometimes it pours Sometimes I'm not that sure But anytime you look at me Your thoughts I cant ignore The second hand would pass us by Should one of us had blinked But in a minute realize that true love always waits My dear, oh dear My head it tends to stray away, sometimes I cant see clear Oh dear, oh dear In spite of all the things I said, I always want you near Early in the morning clouds are dropping on my head Remind me the things last night I should have left unsaid So please forgive the words I use my mind it tends to run Away with the small ideas I know I'm not the only one Cold December：I've been waiting, pacing along the halls ever since you left here I've been cleaning, scrubbing the plates and weeding out the garden dear I can't fall asleep to your mystery slowly blowing from the shore I have not failed to be what you'd expect of me Swallowing glass just to stay pure All the birds are heading down south but you're staying up north you say I've got jackets blankets and sheets, its going to be a cold december It could be warm you see, a statue next to me Swimming away from the ice and snow Could I have failed to see the signs in front of me Warning and flashing symbols, subtle and simple I couldn't see I couldnt see If only time could slow down, maybe I could come up It's such a cold december It's such a cold december Its so cold I cant fall asleep to your mystery slowly blowing from the shore I have not failed to be what you'd expect of me Swallowing glass just to stay pure Summers come and summer has gone Your christmas cards cant comfort me You've found new friends and tied all the ends It's freezing in the loneliest winter It could be warm you see, a statue next to me Swimming away from the ice and snow Could I have failed to see the signs in front of me Warning and flashing symbols, subtle and simple I couldnt see I couldnt see If only time could slow down, then maybe I could come up It's such a cold december It's such a cold december It's so cold Desire&apos;s Only Fling：暂无 Sweet Rose：My sweet rose AS the two of us grow I want you to know that nothing's quite as bad As it seems when you're so sad So remember my rose,
