英國爵士民謠流浪紳士Charlie Winston擁抱單身進行曲《Hello Alone》。Charlie Winston,1978年出生于英格蘭西南部的康沃爾郡。這里匯集了英國最美麗的海岸,于是在這里長大的Charlie自然有了一種隨性地、天然地、不雕琢的美。Charlie的音樂本身并不拘泥于吉他民謠,他更多地選擇了有Band合作的音樂模式。3年前,他的首張專輯《Mischifus》因其獨創另類曲風獲得極高評價,其中的單曲Like A Hobo更是稱霸法國單曲榜冠軍,而去年的《Hobo》則讓他成為業內炙手可熱的明星音樂人。整體來看,Charlie Winston的歌詞寫得都很生活化,很口語化,很流浪感。充滿一種寂寥,一種不用思索就可以感悟到的人生。Charlie Winston的歌聲辨識度很高,有些懶懶地唱法和不經意加入的口哨、哼唱,反倒讓那種隨意的氣質更加吸引人。
新歌《Hello Alone》的MV輕松怪誕,歌詞也十分詼諧有趣,寫出了歷經各路情場卻始終獨身一人的單身男士們的心聲。Hello, Alone, it's you and me again, How can we pretend we've never met?
Hello, Alone you might as well come in,
We've been making bets for so long now.
I never told you that I want you,
I thought I had you out of my head,
But ever time she leaves me, refusing to believe me,
You're always there.
And even though I don't invite you,
And your presence is a pain,
You always let me be just who I am,
Until I'm glad to bring back that refrain again,
Hello, Alone, it's you and me again,
How can we pretend we've never met?
Hello, Alone you might as well come in,
We've been shaking hands for too long now
I even tried to re-convince you,
But it was just no use at all,
Cause every time I climbed inside your mind,
I saw the mirror on the wall.
But it's no use to pose the question,
When the answers never sheen,
And then I have to face up to the facts
With saxophones and old trombones carrying me home to say
Hello, Alone, it's you and me again,
How can we pretend we've never met?
Hello alone you might as well come in,
We've been making bets for too long...
Perhaps I'll take a holiday,
And get as far away as I can,
But then I'd just be far away,
And just as a much a lonesome man,
With his hat in his hands chanting.
Hello, Alone, it's you and me again,
How can we pretend we've never met?
Hello, Alone you might as well come in,
We've been making bets for too long now.
