Anthony Kavanagh出生於英國曼徹斯特(1977),是歌手、詞曲創作人,同時也是個演員(對,不要懷疑XD)。

96年接招團員Howard Donald幫他製作的單曲"Crazy Chance"成功替Kav打響知名度。97年推出同名專輯
"Kavana",光是在英國的銷售量就超過十萬張。Kav專輯裡的"I can make you feel good" 和"M.F.E.O."也攻佔前十大單曲排行榜。同年,Kav被Smash Hits Magazine稱讚為97年最佳男藝人之一。

"I can make you feel good"是Kav翻唱Shalamar在1979年專輯Big Fun裡的歌曲,這首歌讓Kav紅遍大街小巷,即便到了現在,他去pub演唱時,這首歌也絕對是聽眾非點不可的。

可是我覺得這首歌還好啊,"M.F.E.O."和"Will you wait for me"比較好聽啦。

卡瓦那後來在義大利專心創作和進行錄音工作,終於在1998年底出了第二張專輯"Instinct"。Absolute唱片公司(曾製作過Boy Zone和辣妹的唱片)監製了專輯裡十首歌,卡瓦那也參予幕後製作。首支單曲"Special Kind of Something"一推出就榮登排行榜,陸續推出的單曲也都頗受好評。媒體還形容專輯裡的"Will You Wait For Me?"是timeless classic。(我不知道要怎麼翻成中文)

我今天又要來講古了。

其實這個團是我上個禮拜才認識的,而且還是在Finetune的Rock ain't Dead這個選單裡聽到的。(Finetune的使用說明請參考
這裡。)

他們在1995年發行的第一張專輯其實是用"The Rainbow Butt Monkeys"這個名字,到了1997才正式改用"Finger Eleven"這個團名。跟另外一個我也很喜歡的加拿大團 Nickelback的主唱Chad相比,Finger 11主唱Scott Anderson的嗓音雖然不及Chad渾厚,但我很喜歡聽他用有點沙啞的聲音唱歌。超滄桑的啊!

"Paralyzer"這首歌是Finger 11 在今年三月所發行的第五張專輯《Them vs. You vs. Me》裡的其中一首歌。

Nickelback

Nickelback 是加拿大的搖滾團體。他們的作品很容易上口、旋律好記、歌詞意境普通、主唱的聲音是我很甲意的那種。兩年前有次在公司聽到他們的"Someday",衝著主唱Chad豪放的嗓音,我毫不猶豫的跑去唱片行一口氣買了他們的兩張專輯:"The Long Road"和"Silver Side Up"。 (Chad是上圖留長髮的那個)

他們的音樂跟System of a down相比,兩邊一樣是搖滾樂,但Nickelback的曲風算是小品,聽慣一般流行歌曲的人也能夠接受。而S.O.A.D.的歌很硬,不熟悉重金屬搖滾的人應該會啃不下去。不過S.O.A.D我也很愛,他們的歌曲旋律超機車,而且主唱在唱歌的時候感覺好像神經病,but I like it XD

"Someday"這首歌的MV很妙,我剛開始看的時候還想說這MV裡的女主角怎麼這麼機車,跟男友吵架還不聽男方講話,自己在那邊哭天搶地,收拾行李要出走。那時我心想:靠..這種女生不要也罷!分手算了啦!

MV的劇情簡單來說,一開始就是女主角看完報紙就哭了,然後放下報紙時撞翻了放在桌上的玻璃杯,牛奶灑了一地。後來女生邊哭邊收拾行要走出門的時候,踩了灑在地上的牛奶,留下了腳印。接著男生想追出去,也踩到地板上的水漬,但沒留下腳印(其實我第一次看的時候還看不懂為什麼要特寫男生的腳步)。

接著女生要開車走人的時候,男生還拼命敲車窗想解釋一切,但女生沒有理會就自己開車走了。男生在後面追,女生調了後照鏡看車子後方都沒有人(第一次看的時候這裡我也是看不懂XD)。

Please forgive me for being such an idiot lately. 

Something has been changed, and no one can change them back. I'll make it through the end, then I'll leave for another place. No matter what I'll still be me, and you'll still be you. I won't expect you to change your mind, but I won't change mine, too. You could do what ever you want, and say whatever you'll have to say, but I'll find some way out to set myself free and go the way I have to be. 


"Slip Out The Back" By Fort Minor

You know me, I used to get caught up in everyday life
Tried to make it through my day so I could sleep at night
Tried to figure out my way through the maze
Of rights and wrongs, but like you used to say
Nothing feels like it's really worth it
Forget perfect, I'm trying not to be worthless
Since I last saw you I been looking for a purpose
Well I met this kid who thought like I did
He had a weird way of looking at it
This is what he said

Slip out the back before they know you were there
And at the worst you'll see nobody cares
Cos you don't wanna be around when it all goes down
Even heroes know when to be scared
Slip out the back before they know you were there
And at the worst you'll see nobody cares
Cos you don't wanna be around when it all goes down
Even heroes know when to be scared

I don't remember where I met him or remember his name
But he walked funny like he was just too big for his frame
Just over five foot but he weighed a buck fifty
And what he said just seemed so right it stuck with me
Listen its like poker you can play your best
But you got to know when to fold your cards and take a rest
And know when to hold your cards and hold your breath
And hope that nobody else is stacking the deck because
I don't need to tell you that life isn't fair, it doesn't care
It arbitrarily cuts off your air, and like you I want someone to say its OKAY
But in the truest parts of our hearts everybody's afraid
But just underappreciated and overwhelmed
Fighting so hard to hide our fear that were scaring ourselves
You understand when I'm saying that you always did
But its different in the words of a cowardly kid

Slip out the back before they know you were there
And at the worst you'll see nobody cares
Cos you don't wanna be around when it all goes down
Even heroes know when to be scared
Slip out the back before they know you were there
And at the worst you'll see nobody cares
Cos you don't wanna be around when it all goes down
Even heroes know when to be scared

I'm no hero, you remember how I was, you know
All I ever did was worry, feeling out of control
To the point where everything was going end over end
I'm spinning around in circles again
This is where you come in
All of this to explain to you why
I had to separate myself away from yesterday's life
Please remember this isn't how I hoped it would be
But I had to protect you from me
Thats why I slipped out the back before you knew I was there
I know you felt unprepared
But every single time I was around I just bring you down
And I could tell that it was time to be scared
Thats why I slipped out the back before you knew I was there
And I know the way I left wasn't fair
I didn't want to be around just to bring you down
I'm not a hero but don't think I didn't care
