生来就背负着责任,所以决不可倒下。

Icy Cold As Winter

Holding hands with summer
Gentle as a breeze
Fragrant as your petals
Cast their spell and leave

Someone was to blame
No one knew your name

Drifting into autumn
Brush away your tears
Shadows spread their sadness
Stole away her years

Someone was to blame
No one knew your name

(Icy cold as winter)
(Icy cold as winter)
(Icy cold as winter)

Chills your empty heart
Buried with the flowers
Frozen in the dark

Empty as a garden in the summertime
Captured by the falling rain
Now the playgrounds standing still are empty
No one else comes out to play
Warm spring that never came
I never even knew your name
Fill me with completeness
Fill me with your sweetness
Now the sun has gone
Everyone's gone home
No one else comes out to play
80年代晚期成军的英国新浪潮乐队Swing Out Sister (摇摆姐妹),在90年代前半段红透欧洲乐坛。但是之后便陷入沉寂,出版的几张专辑都没有得到乐评和市场的承认。乐队转而到日本发展,受到日本乐迷的大力追捧。2004年,在欧洲乐坛消失多年的SOS重新发力,出版专辑Where Our Love Grows (我们的爱情在这里生长)。   
  这张专辑里面,SOS抛弃了原来流行摇滚的风格,转向比较复古的Big Band Jazz (大乐团爵士)。乐队大量使用管乐和人声合唱,让听众有回到上个世纪40年代的感觉。专辑第一首歌曲“Love Won't Let You down" 便是这种风格的完美体现。主唱Corinne Drewry的醇美声线给这首作品带来了活力。专辑同名曲Where Our Love Grows则以类似曼西尼60年代的电影配乐风格的前奏开头,带有一点巴西舞曲的摇摆。这首作品是比较贴近SOS早年风格的,但是在宏大管弦乐和背景和声的衬托下,依旧是一幅怀旧复古的情怀。接下去的几首作品则基本上是各类爵士风格的融合,Corinne的声音若有若无的漂浮在精巧的器乐上面。很明显,SOS正在努力向纯正的爵士乐队走近。   
  AllMusic.com对这张专辑的评价并不高。事实上自从新浪潮音乐(代表人物是Duran Duran)在欧洲失宠之后,SOS就失去了其赖以生存的优雅流行风格,所幸在世界各地还是有一批他们的忠实乐迷,为SOS的重出江湖摇旗呐喊。但是我们不得不承认在流行摇滚和节奏布鲁斯盛行的当今乐坛,SOS可以发展的空间已经很小了。
