CHASING PAVEMENTS--ADELE

I'VE MADE UP MY MIND,
DON'T NEED TO THINK IT OVER,
IF I'M WRONG I AM RIGHT,
DON'T NEED TO LOOK NO FURTHER,
THIS AIN'T LUST,
I KNOW THIS IS LOVE BUT,
IF I TELL THE WORLD,
I'LL NEVER SAY ENOUGH,
CAUSE IT WAS NOT SAID TO YOU,
AND THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT I NEED TO DO,
IF I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU,

SHOULD I GIVE UP,
OR SHOULD I JUST KEEP CHASING PAVEMENTS?
EVEN IF IT LEADS NOWHERE,
OR WOULD IT BE A WASTE?
EVEN IF I KNEW MY PLACE
SHOULD I LEAVE IT THERE?

SHOULD I GIVE UP
OR SHOULD I JUST KEEP CHASING PAVEMENTS?
EVEN IF IT LEADS NOWHERE.

I'D BUILD MYSELF UP,
AND FLY AROUND IN CIRCLES,
WAIT THEN AS MY HEART DROPS,
AND MY BACK BEGINS TO TINGLE
FINALLY COULD THIS BE IT, OR

SHOULD I GIVE UP,
OR SHOULD I JUST KEEP CHASING PAVEMENTS?
EVEN IF IT LEADS NOWHERE,
OR WOULD IT BE A WASTE?
EVEN IF I KNEW MY PLACE
SHOULD I LEAVE IT THERE?

SHOULD I GIVE UP
OR SHOULD I JUST KEEP CHASING PAVEMENTS?
EVEN IF IT LEADS NOWHERE.
SHOULD I GIVE UP,
OR SHOULD I JUST KEEP CHASING PAVEMENTS?
EVEN IF IT LEADS NOWHERE,
OR WOULD IT BE A WASTE?
EVEN IF I KNEW MY PLACE
SHOULD I LEAVE IT THERE?
SHOULD I GIVE UP
OR SHOULD I JUST KEEP CHASING PAVEMENTS?
OR SHOULD I JUST KEEP CHASING PAVEMENTS?

SHOULD I GIVE UP,
OR SHOULD I JUST KEEP CHASING PAVEMENTS
EVEN IF IT LEADS NOWHERE,
OR WOULD IT BE A WASTE?
EVEN IF I KNEW MY PLACE
SHOULD I LEAVE IT THERE?
SHOULD I GIVE UP
OR SHOULD I JUST KEEP CHASING PAVEMENTS?
EVEN IF IT LEADS NOWHERE.

　　不论中外，吉他唱作人路线有如历久不衰依然受尽青睐，近年他方的英国陆续有不少新鲜上阵的唱作型女歌手，今次有被誉为“新Amy Winehouse”的Adele。年仅19岁的Adele生於英国Tottenham，自幼受爵士乐薰陶，如Ella Fitzgerald和Etta Jame都是她陪伴她成长的“音乐老师”。早于14岁已开始作曲，及后毕业于著名表演艺术学府BRIT School，亦即于Kate Nash、Amy Winehouse和Katie Melua等人份属校友。毕业后曾跟随不少音乐人作巡演乐手，如Jamie T、Amos Lee和Keren Ann等。

　　07年底分别推出了两张细碟《Hometown Glory》和《Chasing Pavements》，08年首张专辑《19》才上市。尽管年纪轻轻，但她的唱腔并不幼嫩，混合骚灵的技巧及具爆发力的演译，唱功不容忽视。有人认为她的声线像Dusty Springfield和Jill Scott，那略带低沉而沙哑的嗓子颇适合唱爵士和蓝调。

完美的神

确实不像一个年轻的女孩唱出来的歌曲
如此老成的嗓音, 感觉似乎历经了沧桑
