Artist:The Swell Season
Song:In These Arms

Use the truth as a weapon

To beat up all your friends

Every chink in the armor

An excuse to cause offense

And the boys from the hallways

Calling out your name

And true love will find them in the end

You were restless

I was somewhere less secure
So I went running to the road
And so now there's
A long list of places I was
I quit my rambling and I came home

Cause maybe I was born to hold you in these arms
Maybe I was born to hold you in these arms

Use your saints
And your mantra
And your things to keep you calm
If you stay with that asshole
He's gonna do you harm
There's a voice singing loudly on the radio
Just for you
And good fortune will find him in the end

Maybe I was born to hold you in these arms
Maybe I was born to hold you in these arms
Maybe I was born to hold you in these arms
Maybe I was born to hold you in these arms

    也许你不是很熟悉这个组合的名字,但我想大家应该知道《Once》这部电影。Glen Hansard 和 Markéta Irglová 在电影Once里的演出和歌曲融化了许多人的心,两人后来合组The Swell Season并且在宣传巡迴时结为真正的情侣,虽然到了今年宣佈结束感情关系,但仍将在10月发行新专辑Strict Joy。

    The Swell Season 就是来自爱尔兰的这对夫妻档Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova的组合。

    其实在《Once》之前,他们就曾以这个名字发表过一张专辑,其中的歌曲大部分后来被放在《Once》里,只是在那张专辑里的编曲更简单,更类似Acoustic的感觉,而事实上,他们的音乐一直都是记录生活的。所以听来那么平和又感动,这次的第三张专辑,名字《Strict Joy》取自一本爱尔兰诗集,Glen Hansard说:对他而言,这张专辑只是一本有声日记,是生活的还原。(引用自网络)
