【每日一歌】Bebo Norman - Everything I Hoped You'd Be

其实，我是这几天才听说知道Bebo Norman这个人的。偶然地听了他一本专辑而已。上Wikipedia一查，才发现，他连独立的Discography页面都没有，尽管他1996年就出道，已经发行了10张专辑（包括精选）。简单介绍一下，Bebo Norman，美国福音歌手（注：福音音乐，也就是当代基督教音乐，一个音乐流派）、民谣歌手，唱了许多不知名的歌，得了许多不知名的奖——至少对中国人来说是这样。Bebo Norman可以算作本学期少数给我惊喜的新认识的歌手之一。


《Everything I Hoped You'd Be》是他2010年新专辑《Ocean》的开场单曲。电子乐铺展开的前奏，给人迷幻而开阔的感觉，紧凑的节奏让人觉得积极向上——大概所有福音歌除了歌颂就是催人上进的吧。这段前奏为整首歌加分不少，只听前奏真的想不到这是首folk风格的歌曲。Bebo Norman的声音略带沧桑感，很有磁性，又不会糙砺得让人不舒服。旋律也很不错。撇开歌手的宗教背景，当作一首音乐作品来欣赏，也算不错。

歌词：

Take me to the desert
You will be the water
I will drink forever to fill my soul


Lead me through the fire of darkness and desire
You will be my shelter
You will be my shelter
I'll find you there
I'll find you there


It's here that I call out
It's here that I fall down
It's here that I find out
That you are everything I hoped you'd be


Take me to the river
Lead me to the healer
Let it wash me over, oh my soul


Take me to the mountain
Lead me to the alter
We will build together
And I will remember


I found you there
I found you there...


It's here that I call out
It's here that I fall down
It's here that I find out
That you are everything


I hoped You'd be the sun that always shines
I hoped You'd be the everlasting life


It's here that I call out
It's here that I fall down
It's here that I find out
That you are everything


I hoped You'd be(x4)
