OneRepublic Apologize
I'm holding on your rope,
Got me ten feet off the ground
I'm hearin what you say but I just can't make a sound
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down, but wait
You tell me that you're sorry
Didn't think I'd turn around, and say...
It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
I'd take another chance, take a fall
Take a shot for you
And I need you like a heart needs a beat
But it's nothin new
I loved you with a fire red-
Now it's turning blue, and you say...
"Sorry" like the angel heaven let me think was you
But I'm afraid...
It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
It's too late to apologize, yeah
I said it's too late to apologize, yeah-
I'm holdin on your rope, got me ten feet off the ground...
不過貓還是最近才留意到"Apologize"的原唱與作曲原來是來自美國 Colorado 的搖滾樂隊 OneRepublic,而"Apologize"正是收錄在他們的首張專輯"Dreaming Out Loud"的第一主打。
"Apologize"由 OneRepublic 作曲,Timbalake 只是無意中聽到這首歌後決定與 OneRepublic 合作,拿這首本來就已很出色的歌製作 Remix 版本,搶先收錄在專輯"Presents Shock Value"。結果這首歌大熱,卻沒有多少人知道原唱是 OneRepublic......
Show business 便是這樣,即使再有才華,長得再好看、歌藝演技再超凡,沒觀眾緣或沒走運,就是紅不起來。
這個圈子,沒有公平或一分耕耘一分收穫這回事。但既是自己選擇的,就只好認真地幹,然後將餘下的交予命運之神。
