主题：Tori Amos-Silent All These Years -- 蛇公子

很早就听过这首歌曲，但是一直不知道演唱者是何方神圣。如果你觉得这首歌曲的旋律很耳熟，不必觉得诧异，王菲和孙燕资都翻唱过它。Tori Amos， 一个让很多音乐人推崇的女歌手，人们在谈到她的时候，总是把她和另类联系在一起。这首 “Silent All These Years”是她很有名的歌曲，但是可听性很强。虽然和传统流行音乐有些不同，你从中仍然能够感觉到 tori amos 的才华。

随着开头的钢琴声而来的是 Tori Amos 轻柔的声音，娓娓道来，叙事风格的歌曲却不让你感到一丝的絮叨，歌声随着钢琴演奏的起伏，仿佛如同古诗中“大珠小珠落玉盘”的效果。Tori 的演唱可以用“低吟浅唱，激情内敛”八个字来表述。

Silent All These Years

Excuse me but can I be you for a while

My DOG won't bite if you sit real still

I got the anti-Christ in the kitchen yellin' at me again

Yeah I can hear that

Been saved again by the garbage truck

I got something to say you know but NOTHING comes

Yes I know what you think of me you never shut up

Yeah I can hear that

But what if I'm a mermaid

In these jeans of his with her name still on it

Hey but I don't care

Cause sometimes I said sometimes I hear my voice and it's been

HERE silent all these years

So you found a girl who thinks really Deep Thoughts

What's so amazing about really Deep Thoughts

Boy you best pray that I bleed real soon

How's that thought for you

My scream got lost in a paper cup

You think there's a heaven where some screams have gone

I got 25 bucks and a cracker do you think it's enough

To get us there

But what if I'm a mermaid

In these jeans of his with her name still on it

Hey but I don't care

Cause sometimes I said sometimes I hear my voice and it's been

HERE silent all these

Years go by will I still be waiting

For somebody else to understand

Years go by if I'm stripped of my beauty

And the orange clouds raining in my head

Years go by will I choke on my tears

Till finally there is nothing left

One more casualty

You know we're to EASY easy easy

Well I love the way we communicate

Your eyes focus on my funny lip shape

Let's hear what you think of me now but baby don't look up

The sky is falling

Your MOTHER shows up in a nasty dress

It's your turn now to stand where I stand

Everybody lookin' at you here take hold of my hand

Yeah I can hear them

But what if I'm a mermaid

In these jeans of his with her name still on it

Hey but I don't care

Cause sometimes I said sometimes I hear my voice

I hear my voice

I hear my voice

And it's been HERE silent all these years

I've been here silent all these years

Silent all these

Silent all these years
