2000年,林忆莲曾经将Lene Marlin的那首《Sitting Down Here》做了一次成功的翻唱,相信中国的大部分听者都是从那首《我坐在这里》注意到了这个来自挪威的音乐精灵。《Sitting Down Here》出自Lene Marlin的个人首张全球百万销量专辑《Playing MyGame》,这是难得的一张在乐评与听众之间都叫好的唱片,当中并没有什么时髦的音乐元素,配器编曲也是相对简单,只是整张专辑听下来你会感觉LeneMarlin是用一种非常轻巧的姿态,舒服流畅地将一切都那么自然地表达了出来,以一个少女的心志描述了自己所体验到的生活与爱情。尽管也有悲伤与失落,但是从Lene Marlin的声音里透出的时候都显得有些淡然,有雨季的潮湿,当然也有拂过脸颊的那阵凉风。专辑中的10首歌曲品质都相当优秀,没有所谓的专辑主打歌,几乎首首动听,首首都是主打单曲。这是一个有这着相当独立自我意识的歌者,而音乐便是她释放与表达自己的最好手段。她自己说:“我的心思是四处飘移的,而我也常常是非常迷失的。我每天都要花许多的时间听音乐或阅读有关音乐的东西,没有什么比得上我对音乐的热爱。”
时隔两年之后,Lene Marlin带着全新专辑《Lost in a Moment》归来。除了在5月底就率先推出的单曲「How Would It Be」已经在挪威等北欧国家各大排行榜上得到肯定,个人更沉溺(「Lost」?)於专辑中节奏相对平稳舒缓的一曲「All I Can Say」……

歌手:Lene Marlin 专辑:Playing My Game
Sitting Down Here
I'm sitting down here,But hey you can't see me
Your words cut rather deeply,
They're just some other lies
I'm hiding from a distance,
I've got to pay the price
Defending all against it,
I really don't know why
You're obsessed with all my secrets,
You always make me cry
You seem to wanna hurt me
No matter what I do
I'm telling just a couple,
But somehow it gets to you
But I've learned how to get revenge
And I swear you'll experience that some day
I'm sitting down here,
But hey you can't see me, kinda invisible…
You don't sense my stay
Not really hiding, not like a shadow
Just thought I would join you for one day
I'm sitting down here,
But hey you can't see me
I'm trying not to avoid you,
Just don't wanna hear your voice
When you call me up so often,
I really don't have a choice
You're talking lie you know me
And wanna be my friend
But that's really too late now,
I won't try it once again
You may think that I'm loser,
That I don't really care
You may think that it's all forgotten,
But you should be aware
Cause I've learned to get revenge
And I swear you'll experience that some day
I'm sitting down here,
But hey you can't see me
Kinda invisible
You don't sense my stay
Not really hiding, not like a shadow
Just thought I would join you for one day
I'm sitting down here,
But hey you can't see me, kinda invisible…
You don't sense my stay
Not really hiding, not like a shadow
Just thought I would join you for one day
You seem to wanna hurt me
No matter what I do
I'm telling just a couple,
But somehow it gets to you
But I've learned how to get revenge
And I swear you'll experience that some day
I'm sitting down here,
But hey you can't see me, kinda invisible…
You don't sense my stay
Not really hiding, not like a shadow
Just thought I would join you for one day
I'm sitting down here,
But hey you can't see me, kinda invisible…
You don't sense my stay
Not really hiding, not like a shadow
Just thought I would join you for one day
I'm sitting down here,
But hey you can't see me, kinda invisible…
You don't sense my stay
Not really hiding, not like a shadow
Just thought I would join you for one day
I'm sitting down here,
But hey you can't see me, kinda invisible…
You don't sense my stay
Not really hiding, not like a shadow
Just thought I would join you for one day
Kinda love your sense of time
Cos the days no matter no more
Or the feelings that you hide
Gonna tear you up inside
You know she hopes you tried
Follows you around all day
And you wake up soaking wet
Cos between this world and eternity
There is a face you hope to see
You know where you sent her
You should know where you are
You're trying to ease off
But you know you won't get far
And now she's up there
Sings like an angel
But you can't hear those words
And now she'd up there
Sings like an angel
Unforgivable sinner
You've been walking around in tears
No answers are there to get
You won't ever be the same
Someone cries and you're to blame
Struggling with a fight inside
Sorrow you'll defeat
The picture you see
It won't dissapear
Not unpleasant mdream
Or the voice you hear
You know where you sent her
You should know where you are
You're trying to ease off
But you know you won't get far
And now she's up there
Sings like an angel
But you can't hear those words
And now she'd up there
Sings like an angel
Unforgivable sinner
Maybe one time lost
But now you're found
Stand right up before you hit the ground
Maybe one time lost
But now you're found
Stand right up before you hit the ground,hit the ground
You know where you sent her
You should know where you are
You're trying to ease off
But you know you won't get far
And now she's up there
Sings like an angel
But you can't hear those words
And now she'd up there
Sings like an angel
Unforgivable sinner
3 Disguise
歌手:Lene Marlin
Have you ever felt some kind of emptiness inside
You will never measure up, to those people you
Must be strong, can't show them that you're weak
Have you ever told someone something
That's far from the truth
Let them know that you're okay
Just to make them stop
All the wondering, and questions they may have
I'm okay, I really am now
Just needed some time, to figure things out
Not telling lies, I'll be honest with you
Still we don't know what's yet to come
Have you ever seen your face,
In a mirror there's a smile
But inside you're just a mess,
You feel far from good
Need to hide, 'cos they'd never understand
Have you ever had this wish, of being
Somewhere else
To let go of your disguise, all your worries too
And from that moment, then you see things clear
I'm okay, I really am now
Just needed some time, to figure things out
Not telling lies, I'll be honest with you
Still we don't know what's yet to come
Are you waiting for the day
When your pain will disappear
When you know that it's not true, what they say about you
You couldn't care less about a thing surrounding you
Ignoring all the voices from now on...
I'm okay, I really am now
Just needed some time, to figure things out
Not telling lies, I'll be honest with you
Still we don't know what's yet to come
I'm okay, I really am now
Just needed some time, to figure things out
Not telling lies, I'll be honest with you
Still we don't know what's yet to come
Still we don't know what's yet to come
Still we don't know what's yet to come
(歌词大意)
你是否也曾经感到心中有种空虚
你无法测探 别人的看法
坚强起来 别让别人知道自己的脆弱
你是否也曾告诉别人 那不切实际的谎言
让人以为你很平安
只为他们停止
所有的脆弱 与那些疑问
我很好 现在真的很好
只是需要点时间 去理出头绪来
不是在说谎 对你我一向诚实
只是还不知道我们之间未来的发展
你是否也曾经看著你的脸 镜子里的笑容
但你的心思紊乱 你感觉不安
需要隐藏 因为他们永远不懂
你是否也曾这麼妄想 逃到别的地方
抛开伪装 你所有的害怕
从那一刻起 让自己看得清楚
我很好.....
你是不是在等待那一天
当你所有的痛苦都消失
当你知道那些他们所说的关于你的都不是真实的
从这一刻起
你不能不在意那些围绕在你身边的事
忽略所有的声音
4 Still Here (全新诠释 王菲《我愿意》中文版)
Still Here-Lene Marlin
I just can’t help it
No matter what you say
It sounds you’re far from okay
I know you’re hurting
So please just stop the lie
Just say, say you’ll try
Try to stop hiding, and show me how you are
I see through all the faces you put on
I know you’re wondering, just how you got to this
So you lost all you missed
But it will be fine, and you’ll be smiling
And you’ll be grateful, for what’s still there
And you’ll be hoping that you still have it here
The things you thought you lost
The things you thought were gone
I wish I’d seen it a long time ago
At least, now I know
I need your promise
No point of asking why
And you’ll be hoping that you still have it here
Just say, say you’ll try
Try to stop hiding, and show me how you are
I see through all the faces you put on
I know you’re wondering, just how you got to this
So you lost all you missed
But it will be fine, and you’ll be smiling
And you’ll be grateful, for what’s still there
And you’ll be hoping that you still have it here
The things you thought you lost
Where gone
But it will be fine, and you’ll be smiling
And you’ll be grateful, for what’s still there
The things you thought you lost
The things you thought were gone
The things you thought you lost
The things you thought were gone...
