七月幻想

The Day You Went Away

歌手：M2m 专辑：Shades Of Purple

Well I wonder could it be

When I was dreaming about you baby

You were dreaming of me

Call me crazy

Call me blind

To still be suffering is stupid after all of this time


Did I lose my love to someone better

And does she love you like I do

I do, you know I really really do


Well hey

So much I need to say

Been lonely since the day

The day you went away


So sad but true

For me there's only you

Been crying since the day

the day you went away


I remember date and time

September twenty second

Sunday twenty five after nine

In the doorway with your case

No longer shouting at each other

There were tears on our faces


And we were letting go of something special

Something we'll never have again

I know, I guess I really really know


Why do we never know what we've got till it's gone

How could I carry on the day you went away

Cause I've been missing you so much I have to say



M2M由MaritLarsen和MarionRaven两位女孩组成。她们的音乐天赋令人惊叹，《白屋之恋》整张专辑13首曲子中有11首由她俩参与创作，小小年纪着实不简单。

M2M最引人注目的地方就是Marit和Marion两个女孩异常的合衬。两人长相相若，嗓音相似，配合十分默契，浑然一体。

M2M胜在清纯、自然，不经意流露出来的女儿娇态也绝无做作的感觉。这张专辑最大的魅力即在于此。

其实M2M的音乐风格走向是受这类组合的成功经验、发展模式制约的，因此也很难说M2M有什么特别与众不同的地方。形象可爱一点，歌曲好听一点，宣传力度大一点，成功也就八九不离十了。

这张专辑轻快之作占了大半，象“Don'tSayYouLoveMe”、“TheDayYouWentAway”、“EverythingYouDo”都是极富流行潜质的歌曲。而“GirlInYourDreams”和“PrettyBoy”这类相当迷人的慢歌则是展示和欣赏Marit和Marion甜美歌喉绝佳机会。总之，这张唱片的可听性相当高。

清新可爱的邻家女孩唱着绵密的青春心情日记,来自挪威的窈窕美眉(M2M)的亲合力总是不着痕迹的拉近与听者的距离,99年底首支单曲“Don't Say You Love Me”顺式搭上皮卡丘横扫美国首部大银幕电影《神奇宝贝》的卖座狂朝,无疑加大情如姊妹的Marion Raven与Marit Larsen的人气,单曲登陆全美单曲销售榜Top 10,简单的歌词里提醒沉浸爱河的男女放慢爱情脚步的审慎态度,证明她们在弹唱两小无猜之余,也能赋予青春恋歌不一样的角度,处女大碟《紫色恋情》(Shades Of Purple)跃登Billboard热门潜力榜冠军后座,专辑也获得美国滚石杂志3颗半星的佳评,续势单曲"Mirror Mirror"再登销售榜Top 10。


Marion弹钢琴, Marit抱着吉他,94年在奥斯陆以制作儿童音乐专辑获得音乐奖肯定,还借着参与《安妮》、《绿野仙踪》、《真善美》音乐具演出来满足童心未泯的美丽绮梦,在处女作全球卖出150万张后,两位美眉累积了巡回演唱时的词曲创作,终于在2001年底发表第二张专辑「The Big Room」,专辑中,我们听见窈窕美眉在和谐美声之外,将温柔的少女芳心作一些质量的改变,增添新世代少女自信表态的摇滚浓度,首支单曲"Everything"就在爽朗俐落的摇滚节奏中宣泄思念的情绪,"What You Do About Me"呛出小女生对于爱情的强势与积极意味,"Wanna Be Where You Are"以钢琴与弦乐缓缓跟着饶富呼唤意味的情感歌声,凝聚成一首精致动人的抒情佳作：Eventually"、"Love Left For Me"、"Payphone"回归清新朴实的抒情民谣感动,《heBig Room》窈窕美眉对于爱情与生活的感觉都有了较细腻的思绪,或许这就是小女生成长的喜悦吧!
