澳洲明星

hsy12

来八一八澳洲的明星们吧。

本来没觉得这首歌好听，不过前些天坐bus，头发花白的司机居然在放这首。所以，我想这个叫做the church的band当年应该还蛮popular的。



The electric lash of trees in the studio
Fills my head with light
Only the voice of the girl on the radio
Falling from a height
And I turn to leave as if in cameo
It doesn't feel quite right
Only one thing you ever really know
If it's day or night
Our eyes meet and I love her
I suspect she already knows
How those eyes see me so very very clearly
Even when they're closed
The electric lash of trees in the studio
A bite then a caress
Only the voice of the girl on the radio
Drifting from the west
And I turn to leave as if in cameo
A moon, a knot, a guess
Only one thing you ever really know
You might curse before you bless
Our eyes meet and I love her
I suspect she already knows
How those eyes see me so very very clearly
Even when they're closed
The electric lash of trees in the studio
Fills my head with light
Only the voice of the girl on the radio
Falling from a height
And I turn to leave as if in cameo
It doesn't feel quite right
Only one thing you ever really know
If it's still night
Electric lash of trees in the studio
Fills my head with light
Only the voice of the girl on the radio
Falling from a height
And I turn to leave as if in cameo
It doesn't feel quite right
Only one thing you ever really know
If it's still night
Electric lash of trees in the studio
Fills my head with light
Only the voice of the girl on the radio
Falling from a height

主唱Steven John Kilbey，年轻时很漂亮啊。

这首歌其实是写给Jennifer Keyte的。



当时已婚的Steve说Jennifer是他的初恋。
“I wrote Electric Lash about meeting her, and then many other songs too. I pretty much moved into her flat in South Melbourne for weeks on end. She was a truly fine woman: stylish, cultured and a real Australian aristocrat or something. She was very kind and warm, and we got on so well. When I left Melbourne I got very sad, which usually resulted in a song as I tapped into the sweet pain of separation for a young man of 26 who’d just fallen in love.

“To me, Jennifer was a goddess and she made me want to write songs to impress her. We were young and affluent, and both of us a bit famous after she got a job reading the news on TV. She showed me her Melbourne and on cold winter days we’d drive to lonely spots by the sea and talk and kiss a bit too. It was a totally romantic love affair — after the regimented drudgery of my brief marriage I was, for a while, really happy.”

Jennifer也没有否认这段感情，“It was my unguarded moment”她说。
“It was my unguarded moment,” she joked, referencing the Church’s breakthrough hit.

Jennifer是7 news melbourne的新闻播音员。不知道澳洲其他州的同学认识她吗？

再贴一首the church的Under The Milky Way。
This comment on youtube made me lol:    
If there`s anybody around who doesn`t like this song. His soul gotta be Lactose Intolerant.



Sometimes when this place gets kind of empty
Sound of their breath fades with the light
I think about the loveless fascination
Under the Milky Way tonight

Lower the curtain down on Memphis
Lower the curtain down all right
I got no time for private consultation
Under the Milky Way tonight

[Chorus]
Wish I knew what you were looking for
Might have known what you would find
Wish I knew what you were looking for
Might have known what you would find

And it's something quite peculiar
Something shimmering and white
Leads you here despite your destination
Under the Milky Way tonight

[Chorus]

Under the Milky way tonight
Under the Milky Way tonight

Keith Urban新西兰出生的澳洲歌手，Nicole Kidman的老公。

最喜欢这首：Only you can love me this way。

hsy12

因为昨天周末有空，所以贴了keith urban的歌，未曾想6月25日正好是keith urban和nicole kidman10年结婚纪念日。
http://www.today.com/popculture/ ... 0th-wedding-t100265

keith urban贴了他们俩的第一张合影，在2005年的G'Day LA活动中。


No, it wasn't a selfie or a paparazzi pic. It was a good, old-fashioned posed shot at an event called G'Day LA in 2005, which Urban posted to Instagram and Twitter Saturday morning.

很喜欢这句话：the only reason to look back is to see how far you've come.

Let's be honest: these are some awkward smiles and body language. But as they say "the only reason to look back is to see how far you've come." (Hey. that should be in a country song.) To think that these two somewhat stiff, incredibly shiny humans are now parents of two and 10 years into their own love story ... well, that'a beautiful thing.

有人问遇见nicole是不是你生命的转折，他说这更像是生命的开始。
"Someone asked me if it was life-changing, meeting her, and I said, 'I think it was more like it was life beginning for me,'" Urban said. "I feel like I spent all the years leading up to that, preparing. I didn't know I was, but that's what it seems like in hindsight."

移民澳洲前，看过nicole kidman演的Australia《澳洲乱世情》 。音乐（somewhere）over the rainbow最终让三个相爱的人团聚。



Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high,
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby.

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true.

Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me.

Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me.

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow.
Why then, oh why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Over_the_Rainbow
"Over the Rainbow" (often referred to as "Somewhere over the Rainbow") is a popular ballad, with music by Harold Arlen and lyrics by E.Y. Harburg.[1] It was written for the movie The Wizard of Oz (1939) and was sung by actress Judy Garland, in her starring role as Dorothy Gale.[1] The song won the Academy Award for Best Original Song and became Garland's signature song, as well as one of the most enduring standards of the 20th century.

另一首Elton John的The Drover's ballad。
联系歌词和电影里的Drover：
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia_(2008_film)

Drover is friendly with the Aborigines, and therefore shunned by many of the other whites in the territory. It is revealed that he was married to an Aboriginal woman, who died after being refused medical treatment in a hospital because of her race.



From the sunburnt plains of far off North Australia
Came a fella born to ride the wide brown land
Oh he grew up running wild
But soon by all was styled
As the country's greatest-ever droving man
Oh his legend rode the winds from Broome to Darwin
They loved and loathed him right from end to end
For when the drover gave his heart
To a girl whose skin was dark
From that day on he was no white man's friend
chorus:
So goes The Drover's story, you'll hear it near and far
And in the end it's all he'll ever own
It says the outcast is a free man
If he sleeps under the stars
Makes the blanket of the southern skies his home
(repeat chorus)
The Drover is a man of constant shadows
Haunted by his pain, his past and name
For every mile he rides
What he cannot hide,
Is the longing in his heart to love again
(repeat chorus)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drover_(Australian)

A drover in Australia is a person, typically an experienced stockman, who moves livestock, usually sheep, cattle, and horses "on the hoof" over long distances. Reasons for droving may include: delivering animals to a new owner's property, taking animals to market, or moving animals during a drought in search of better feed and/or water. Moving a small mob of quiet cattle is relatively easy, but moving several hundreds or thousands head of wild station cattle over long distances is a completely different matter

感觉自己对澳洲的明星真的没半点认识呢... 惭愧

nicole kidman总认识吧？
Nicole Mary Kidman, AC (born 20 June 1967) is an Australian actress and film producer.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicole_Kidman



以前不是很喜欢她，不过看她的interview，觉得她很活泼，很平易近人，歌唱得也不错。
虽然她演了很多电影，只看过她的《澳洲乱世情》。



"Something Stupid"

I know I stand in line
Until you think you have the time
To spend an evening with me
And if we go someplace to dance
I know that there's a chance
You won't be leaving with me

Then afterwards we drop into a quiet little place
And have a drink or two
And then I go and spoil it all
By saying something stupid
Like I love you

I can see it in your eyes
You still despise the same old lines
You heard the night before
And though it's just a line to you
For me it's true
And never seemed so right before

I practice every day to find some clever
lines to say
To make the meaning come true
But then I think I'll wait until the evening
gets late
And I'm alone with you

The time is right
Your perfume fills my head
The stars get red
And oh the night's so blue
And then I go and spoil it all
By saying something stupid
Like I love you
I love you...

"Everytime You Cry"

Ooh oo - ooh yeah
Ooh oo - ooh

Never before have I seen you look so blue
I can't find a cure and nothing comforts you
The light at the end of the tunnel
Doesn't shine at the end of the day

Everytime you cry
Save up all your tears
I will be your rainbow
When they disappear
Wash away the pain
'Til you smile again
I will be the laughter in your eyes
Every time you cry
Every time you cry

Time has a way of wounding what has healed
What can I say? I know just how you feel
Your soul is dark and troubled
Like a river running wild

Everytime you cry
Save up all your tears
I will be your rainbow
When they disappear
Wash away the pain
'Til you smile again
I will be the one who dries your eyes
Every time you cry
Every time you cry

Well, you know that's what I'm here for
I will give you when you need more
There will be no hesitation
I will reap no reward

"Have You Never Been Mellow"

There was a time when I was in a hurry as you are
I was like you
There was a day when I just had to tell my point of view
I was like you
Now I don't mean to make you frown
No, I just want you to slow down

Have you never been mellow?
Have you never tried to find a comfort from inside you?
Have you never been happy just to hear your song?
Have you never let someone else be strong?

Running around as you do with your head up in the clouds
I was like you
Never had time to lay back, kick your shoes off, close your eyes
I was like you
Now you're not hard to understand
You need someone to take your hand

Have you never been mellow?
Have you never tried to find a comfort from inside you?
Have you never been happy just to hear your song?
Have you never let someone else be strong?

The Seekers - I Am Australian (Live - 2000 - STEREO)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Seekers
The Seekers are an Australian folk-influenced pop quartet, originally formed in Melbourne in 1962. They were the first Australian pop music group to achieve major chart and sales success in the United Kingdom and the United States. They were popular during the 1960s with their best-known configuration as: Judith Durham on vocals, piano and tambourine; Athol Guy on double bass and vocals; Keith Potger on twelve-string guitar, banjo and vocals; and Bruce Woodley on guitar, mandolin, banjo and vocals.



https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emerald_City_(song)

"Emerald City" is a song by The Seekers telling of the singer's fictional visit to the Emerald City of L. Frank Baum's book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

Written by Kim Fowley and John Martin and recorded in 1967 for a Christmas release, it was revealed during The Seekers' 1993 reunion tour that John Martin was actually a nom-de-plume for The Seekers' very own Keith Potger. The tune is the "Lied an die Freude" from Beethoven's Ninth Symphony and reached #49 in the UK Charts in 1967.




Take me to the Emerald City
Down yellow brick roads fast I run
Scarecrow friends will dance beside me
Tin toy brothers bright as sun

Take me to the Emerald City
Wizards will give us lemonade
It's a land of pleasures pretty
Ruby roses never fade

Children gather fragile flowers
Stars will sing a lullaby
You're an angel fly forever
Living life behind the sky

Take me to the Emerald City
Wizards will give us lemonade
It's a land of pleasures pretty
Ruby roses never fade

Rain it falls like tinsel teardrops
Rivers flow through jungles tall
Witches watch through magic mirrors
Frost and fog covers crystal balls

Take me to the Emerald City
Wizards will give us lemonade
It's a land of pleasures pretty
Ruby roses never fade

It's a land of pleasures pretty
Ruby roses never fade

只知道 Savage Garden

谢谢分享！学了个新词。
A pop duo is a pop music group with only two members.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savage_Garden

Savage Garden were an Australian pop duo consisting of Darren Hayes as vocalist and Daniel Jones as instrumentalist. Although the duo is Australian, Daniel was born in the United Kingdom. Formed in Logan City, Queensland in 1993, the duo achieved international success in the late 1990s and early 2000s with the number-one hit singles "I Want You", "To the Moon and Back", "Truly Madly Deeply", "The Animal Song" and "I Knew I Loved You". Their two studio albums, Savage Garden and Affirmation reached number one in Australia and peaked in the top ten in both the United Kingdom and United States.


这首貌似很熟悉？


"Truly Madly Deeply"

I'll be your dream
I'll be your wish I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope I'll be your love
Be everything that you need
I'll love you more with every breath
Truly, madly, deeply do
I will be strong I will be faithful
'cause I'm counting on
A new beginning
A reason for living
A deeper meaning, yeah

[chorus:]
I want to stand with you on
a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me

And when the stars are shining
brightly in the velvet sky,
I'll make a wish send it to heaven
Then make you want to cry
The tears of joy for all the
pleasure and the certainty
That we're surrounded by the
comfort and protection of

The highest powers
In lonely hours
The tears devour you

[chorus]

Oh can you see it baby?
You don't have to close your eyes
'Cause it's standing right
before you
All that you need will surely come

I'll be your dream I'll be your wish
I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope I'll be your love
Be everything that you need
I'll love you more with every breath
Truly, madly, deeply do

[chorus]

I want to stand with you on a
mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to live like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me
