听力原文
I haven't seen you since that day
I drop to think so like you asked me to want that
We were nothing but a pained memory
If it's alright with you
Then it's alright with me
I think about you now and then
You know I pace to lose so be with on this space
You don’t know what to missing now but say
If it's alright with you
Then it's alright with me
If it's alright with you
Then it's alright with me
I can tell that you on my mind
But I won't deep my try to make it change my mind
I know I’m better
Let you go and say
If it's alright with you
Then it's alright with me
If it's alright with you
Then it's alright with me
If it's alright with you
Then it's alright with me

Katie Goes to Tokyo
Katie Goes To Tokyo,是来自瑞典的女创作歌手Kathrine Bergstrom的艺名。《Katie Goes To Tokyo》是她个人的第一张专辑,声音极度清新甜蜜,像极了早期的The Cardigans,清馨略显慵懒的歌声轻而易举地打动人,不知不觉已经喜欢上她。
Katie曾和几位好友组成了庞克乐队Backfish,并担任主唱,几经辗转出了第一张专辑《It's Emilys》,不久后解散。后来又和M?rten Tromm组了The Wilson Hospital,于02年在瑞典和日本发行专辑《Medication for a lost generation》。单曲“Call me a.s.a.p”在瑞典成为大热曲目。遗憾的是,发行公司破产,致使绝大部分CD未曾上市。(这张专辑在网络上有试听过,风格跟现在有些差异,也还是不错的一张。)后来的新写的歌,却不十分适合The Wilson Hospital,和搭档协商后,Katie开始了单飞之旅,艺名Katie goes to Tokyo。至于为什么偏偏要goes to tokyo,不为人知。东京这个时尚之都,现代大都会,对于歌手来讲,不容否认,是很有诱惑力的吧。
现在这张是Katie的首张同名专辑,在04年5月的时候,录制于三个不同的录音室,包括前搭档在内的一堆牛人,帮助完成了这张专辑。细听下来,今年夏天听过的专辑中,如果说之前澳洲帅哥tamas wells那张是清新男声的典范,那女声则当推Katie了。忘记是哪个网站对专辑介绍了,大意是,宛若早期The Cardigans和Suzanne Vega混合而成的美妙天籁,完美诠释瑞典忧郁流行歌曲。有点缥缈了,却也反映了嗓音的特点。
