知道这首歌是上课时老师让听写歌词。开始时没觉得怎样，但是听过几遍后就上瘾了。越听越喜欢。不是很新的歌曲，不过这首《I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker》曾经把UK单曲榜九连冠的《Crazy》挤了下来！声线很好，很浓郁的声音，听起来很舒服，歌曲也很入耳。没有多少伴奏（应该也是a cappella ），充分的发挥了她的声音特点。一直欣赏有着清唱的歌曲，歌手要有很好的声线和很大的勇气。 (Chorus) Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair In '77 and '69 revolution was in the air I was born too late into a world that doesn't care Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
When the head of state didn't play guitar Not everybody drove a car When music really mattered and when radio was king When accountants didn't have control And the media couldn't buy your soul And computers were still scary and we didn't know everything
(Chorus)
When pop stars still remained a myth And ignorance could still be bliss And when god saved the queen she turned a whiter shade of pale My mom and dad were in their teens And anarchy was still a dream And the only way to stay in touch was a letter in the mail
(Chorus)
When record shops were still on top And vinyl was all that they stocked And the super info highway was still drifting out in space Kids were wearing hand me downs And playing games meant kick arounds And footballers still had long hair and dirt across their face
(Chorus)
I was born too late into a world that doesn't care Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
2006年初,Sandi Thom还是一个不为人知的来自苏格兰德女孩,那时我们的Sandi Thom和她的乐队一起,做着多年来他们一直在做的事情：开着一辆破车,在伦敦南部往返在城镇之间的路上,不断寻找演出机会。 有一次Sandi从南威尔市的一个演出往回赶的途中,这两不经使的破车终于报废了。于是她突发奇想地买来一个网络摄像机,并在网上宣布自己将从2月24日连续21天每晚在自己家中的地下室里举办个人演出,并通过网络直播。第一晚仅有70名观众收看了演出,第二晚人数突然上升到670,而到了演出进行的第二周,竟然吸引到了70,000名观众,更重要的是,她也成功地吸引到了唱片公司的注意,并戏剧性的在网络摄像机前与RCA公司签下合约。 今年六月Sandi的首张专辑《Smile…It Confuses People》终于和大家见面了。它轻而易举拿到了英国专辑榜的冠军。如今几乎所有的人都知道,几个月前就是她那首广为流传的并带有浓浓怀旧感的歌曲《I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker (With Flowers In My Hair)》把Gnarls Barkley在英国单曲榜CDUK上九连冠的《Crazy》挤了下来！这样的成就,就如同她的天赋和她纯净美丽的声音一样让人羡慕。说到Sandi的声音,有人是这么评价的：“她的声音有足够的力度和表现力响彻规模最大的歌剧院;同时,这种声音足够的温馨与深情,可以在亲近随和的环境中打动任何一个聆听者。”听Sandi的歌,有一点点民谣,一点点灵歌的感觉,同时又揉搓了一些朋克的气氛。在这里,各种乐器的使用是以简化为指导的特别是在之前提到的《I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker (With Flowers In My Hair)》这首歌中,几乎没有什么伴奏,要突出的就是Sandi那把好嗓子。每一个音符都是清澈的,不刻意修饰的感觉却更容易让人着迷。
