｛Cat::Egg｝ 嗜　音樂

＜Ｒｅｌｉｓｈ＞是Joan Osborne的第二張專輯，1995年發行。此張專輯讓她獲得五項葛萊美提名。


專輯中結合了吉他　曼陀林　風琴　薩克斯風等樂器，曲風則是在搖滾中加入了藍調　民謠等元素（這讓我更加喜愛這張專輯）。


其實，前陣子就買了這張專輯，但是，她的聲音很容易讓人懷念，令人傾心卻不膩，所以這兩天又把她call出來讓她唱歌給我聽。


專輯中有兩首我特別喜歡--＂one of us＂及＂St. Teresa＂，不過硬要比起來，我更喜歡後者，雖然較多人談論前首（香草天空裡有出現，雖然我沒有看過這部電影），但我比較喜歡＂St. Teresa＂的獨特性，因為一開始的曼陀林深深地勾住我的耳朵，而且Joan Osborne在此首用了沙啞的唱腔，再加上看了歌詞後會讓感觸增值，三層的醬料讓我更難抗拒此首的吸引力。一個題外話，在當時這兩首歌都替她帶來了宗教上的糾紛。


你可以在這張專輯裡，聽到她時而乾淨　時而沙啞　時而高亢　時而慵懶　時而溫柔　時而純真的歌聲。如果你也有這張專輯，請張大耳朵吧，每一首都是一個獨特的敘述。

St. Teresa（<<有連結）

She down on the corner, just a little crime.
When I make my money, got to get my dime.
She down with her baby, wind is full of trash.
She bold as a streetlight, dark and sweet as hash.

Way down in the hollow, leavin' so soon.
Oh, St. Teresa, higher than the moon.

Reach down for the sweet stuff, way she looks at me.
I know any man sees you like I see.
Follow down the side street, move in single file.
She said, "That's where I'll hold you, sleepin' like a child."

Way down in the hollow, leavin' so soon.
Oh, St. Teresa, higher than the moon.

Just what I been needin', feel it rise in me.
She said, "Every stone a story, like a rosary."
Corner St. Teresa, just a little crime.
When I make my money, got to get my dime.

Way down in the hollow, leavin' so soon.
Oh, St. Teresa, higher than the moon.

You crawled up in the sky.
You crawled up in the clouds.
Is there something you forgot to tell me,
tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me?

Show me, my Teresa, feel it rise in me.
Every stone a story, like a rosary.
