Matt Costa

Matt Costa，在12歲的時候獲贈生平第一把吉他；不過很快的，另一項更刺激的活動吸引了他--滑板。雖然比一般滑板選手還晚接觸這項運動，但是加倍勤練的Matt Costa迅速展現了過人的天賦和技巧，甚至差一點點就轉為職業選手。不過三年前練習時的一場嚴重意外讓Matt Costa摔斷了腿，不僅得花18個月治療和復健，也從此改變了他的命運。在那一段人生中的低潮時光，他重拾吉他投入全副精力練習彈奏和創作，並開始用簡單的錄音器材灌錄自己的唱作。Matt Costa有一副天生的好嗓子，清冽明亮，也許是在加州長大的緣故，他的歌聲陽光明媚，沒有任何陰鬱與頹廢，即便是“Cold December”這樣看起來冷冷的歌，在有如寒風一般的吉他聲刮過之後，留在在你耳邊的還是暖暖的陽光。這是一張可以從頭到尾微笑著聽完的專輯，Matt Costa很善於在配器和演唱的細節處營造一些小趣味，象標題歌“Songs We Sing”開頭和過場俏皮的口琴，“Sweet Rose”里的小顫音、“Whiskey And Wine”里那聲“Oh！”，小小的精緻的幽默感恰到好處又不會有賣弄的感覺，讓你聽著聽著不時嘴角就會泛起一絲微笑。Matt Costa的作品旋律極為清新明快，整張專輯裡隱隱約約閃現著鄉村音樂、搖滾樂、爵士樂、古典音樂以及60年代流行樂的味道，充滿了信手拈來自成一派的妙趣，專注的嗓音加上嫻熟的吉他彈奏，眼前不禁就會浮現出一個青蔥少年的形象，後來上網一搜他的照片，還真就是一副校園歌手的模樣，可見樂由心聲還真是有這么回事。“Whiskey And Wine”屬於聽過一耳就忍不住要翻來覆去聽的曲子，老派的爵士曲風在Matt Costa妙手調教下，變得如此靈動妙趣，即興重複的片段韻味十足；“Oh Dear”、“Desires Only Fling”應是向老式英倫搖滾致敬之作，而“Behind The Moon”則是帶有踢踏舞曲節拍的懷舊小品；“Sweet Rose”則又是一幅加州鄉村風光，輕鬆、跳躍的甜蜜玫瑰；“Sunshine”，開唱前用來替代架子鼓鼓槌敲擊聲的“1、2、3”加上那句“sha la la”，越聽越象是校園歌手，污濁的唱片工業總算有點清新空氣了；壓軸的“Wash Away”是專輯裡我非常喜愛的一首，詩一般的歌詞配上Matt Costa深情的吟唱，Matt Costa的才氣真是讓人妒忌.專輯2010 9月21日 Mobile Chateau2008 Unfamiliar Faces2006 Songs We SingEP專輯2003: Matt Costa EP2005: The Elasmosaurus EP單曲2006: Cold December2006: Sweet Thursday2006: Sunshine2008: Mr. Pitiful2010: The Season

Songs We Sing歌詞

Yellow Taxi暫無AstairAstair your glare is killing meAstair in skies of blueThe signs you wear are making meSo confusedBut the mountains and the treesAre they just what you needOr are they less than whatYoud expect to seeAnd if youre leaving well comeGive me reason why I let you downBefore you turn around now nowBefore you turn aroundAstair youre there and Im still hereI swear Im so confusedThe signs you wear are making meFeel like Im the one to loseBut the canyons and the seasAre they just what you needOr are they less than whatYoud expect to seeAnd if youre leaving well comeGive me reason why I let you downBefore you turn around now, nowBefore you turn aroundBut the mountains and the treesAre they what you perceiveOr are they less than whatYoud expect to seeAnd if youre leaving well comeGive me reason why I let you downBefore you turn around now, nowBefore you turn aroundBefore you turn aroundOh DearEarly in the morning clouds are dropping on my headRemind me the things last night I should have left unsaidSo please forgive the words I use, my mind it tends to runAway with the small ideas, I know Im not the only oneSo dear, oh dearMy head it tends to stray away sometimes I cant see clearOh dear, oh dearIn spite of all the things I said, I always want you nearSometimes it rains, sometimes it poursSometimes Im not that sureBut anytime you look at meYour thoughts I cant ignoreThe second hand would pass us byShould one of us had blinkedBut in a minute realize that true love always waitsMy dear, oh dearMy head it tends to stray away, sometimes I cant see clearOh dear, oh dearIn spite of all the things I said, I always want you nearEarly in the morning clouds are dropping on my headRemind me the things last night I should have left unsaidSo please forgive the words I use my mind it tends to runAway with the small ideas I know Im not the only oneCold DecemberIve been waiting, pacing along the halls ever since you left hereIve been cleaning, scrubbing the plates and weeding out the garden dearI cant fall asleep to your mystery slowly blowing from the shoreI have not failed to be what youd expect of meSwallowing glass just to stay pureAll the birds are heading down south but youre staying up north you sayIve got jackets blankets and sheets, its going to be a cold decemberIt could be warm you see, a statue next to meSwimming away from the ice and snowCould I have failed to see the signs in front of meWarning and flashing symbols, subtle and simple I couldnt seeI couldnt seeIf only time could slow down, maybe I could come upIts such a cold decemberIts such a cold decemberIts so coldI cant fall asleep to your mystery slowly blowing from the shoreI have not failed to be what youd expect of meSwallowing glass just to stay pureSummers come and summer has goneYour christmas cards cant comfort meYouve found new friends and tied all the endsIts freezing in the loneliest winterIt could be warm you see, a statue next to meSwimming away from the ice and snowCould I have failed to see the signs in front of meWarning and flashing symbols, subtle and simple I couldnt seeI couldnt seeIf only time could slow down, then maybe I could come upIts such a cold decemberIts such a cold decemberIts so coldDesires Only Fling暫無Sweet RoseMy sweet roseAS the two of us growI want you to know that nothings quite as badAs it seems when youre so sadSo remember my
