make me a kite

When the sky is bright as 1 the eye of the bird
And the winds of the sea
It seems 2 to me a lullaby and it sets 3 my sprit free 4
Then I run to the top of the hill
And I throw my arms of wide 5
And I wish so hard that my heart 6 might 7 break
For someone 8 to make me a kite

Make me a kite
Give me rainbow wings
Make me a kite
With a thousand miles 9 of silken string 10
Let me fly
To the top of the sky
Let me come down safe again*

When the night is wearing its darkest 11 face
And the world is like a stone
And the people along 12 the dirtiest street make me feel am all alone 13
Then I run to the one I love
And you throw your arms of wide
And I love you so that my heart might break
For you can make me a kite

这位叫阿曼达的美国女歌手知道的人肯定不多,但去问一问资深的发烧友,他们肯定对她如数家珍。阿曼达一直和小型唱片公司合作,录音不多,但张张精彩,制作认真,每一款几乎都是音响玩家的最爱。

  这位长相极具古典气质的女歌手,已有一把年纪了,风姿绰绰,俨然一个贵妇。据说,生活中她真的是一个很有钱的富婆,唱歌录音只是兴之所致,不急吼吼地想出名,但她的唱功一点都不输给那些红得发紫的大牌,且每一首都有极高的可听性,所以,国外的一些富门显赫常会在私人的派对中拿她的唱片来播,以体现品位。

  这首歌曲是选自阿曼达在一家叫“壁虎”的小公司里录的仅有两张专辑中的一张,歌名叫做“让我成为一只夜莺吧”。而她的歌声真的如黄莺出谷,美到不可方物。录音体现出极级水准,音场和空间感无尽地大,要听“口水声”的朋友又要从座椅上跳起来了。
