Lauryn Hill - Ex-factor

記得第一次看到Lauryn Hill是在修女也瘋狂裡面演一個很會唱歌 但媽媽不喜歡她唱歌的酷女生
因為實在太搶戲了 縱使戲裡還有其他人(幾乎全部 @@) 也都很會唱歌
但我還是對她印象很深刻
後來聽到The Fugees版本的 Killing me softly,一聽馬上愛上這個version
原來老歌也可以唱的那麼r&b又對我的味
(那時不太喜歡聽英文老歌 也很少人用r&b詮釋老歌)
但其實那時並不知道女聲是誰
後來看MTV時看到她 才發現原來是Lauryn Hill!
(那時的MTV是我精神食糧... "那時"大概是指10年前.. ! 10年 oh my God!)
接著不知道多久之後 也忘記在哪聽到她唱 Can't take my eyes off of you
真的是shock到了, too different from the original and even greater than the original...
那時一聽就超愛的 and still one of the top favorites now
不過我要講的是另外一首~ ex-factor
跟前兩首不同的是 這是全新的創作
這首 很深
是什麼樣的深我講不出來
壓抑 掙扎 釋放

也許我聽的r&b不夠多也不夠廣泛
但這是我最愛的一首


Lauryn Hill
Ex-factor

It could all be so simple
But you'd rather make it hard
Loving you is like a battle
And we both end up with scars
Tell me, who I have to be
To get some reciprocity
No one loves you more than me
And no one ever will

Is this just a silly game
That forces you to act this way
Forces you to scream my name
Then pretend that you can't stay
Tell me, who I have to be
To get some reciprocity
No one loves you more than me
And no one ever will

No matter how I think we grow
You always seem to let me know
It ain't workin'
It ain't workin'
And when I try to walk away
You'd hurt yourself to make me stay
This is crazy
This is crazy

I keep letting you back in
How can I explain myself
As painful as this thing has been
I just can't be with no one else
See I know what we got to do
You let go and I'll let go too
'Cause no one's hurt me more than you
And no one ever will

Care for me, care for me
I know you care for me

There for me, there for me
Said you'd be there for me

Cry for me, cry for me
You said you'd die for me

Give to me, give to me
Why won't you live for me...
