Makes Me Wonder - Makes Me Hot



可能我是够土了,2个月了才浓墨篇幅介绍Maroon 5的新专辑,神啊请宽恕我。。。
7月5日的American Mosaic正好在介绍热映电影前的桥段用了一段Makes Me Wonder的音乐,又把我的瘾勾上了
是的,我说的就是瘾!
Trust me. When you hear the song, you will say:"OMG! This song is so addictive!"
关于这首歌我就不多费口舌了,告诉大家一个信息就够了,Make Me Wonder连续数周名列Billboard Hot 100榜首位置,在降至第二一周后又重新夺冠。。。
这首歌的MV拍的相当性感暧昧,呵呵,我把ed2k link贴出来,供大家欣赏

好像有把Makes Me Wonder翻成“着了魔”,老实说,我觉得好像不大合适,虽然歌是让人听后“着了魔”,但歌表达的不是这种感觉

Maroon 5 - Makes Me Wonder

[Verse]
I wake up with blood-shot eyes
Struggled to memorize
The way it felt between your thighs
Pleasure that made you cry
Feels so good to be bad
Not worth the aftermath, after that
After that
Try to get you back

[Bridge]
I still don't have the reason
And you don't have the time
And it really makes me wonder
If I ever gave a f**k about you

[Chorus]
Give me something to believe in
Cause I don't believe in you
Anymore, Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference to try
(Yeah)
So this is goodbye

[Verse]
God damn, my spinning head
Decisions that made my bed
Now I must lay in it
And deal with things I left unsaid
I want to dive into you
Forget what you're going through
I get behind, make your move
Forget about the truth

[Bridge]
I still don't have the reason
And you don't have the time
And it really makes me wonder
If I ever gave a f**k about you

[Chorus 1 + 2]
Give me something to believe in
Cause I don't believe in you
Anymore, Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference,
It even makes a difference to try (yeah)
And you told me how you're feeling
But I don't believe it's true
Anymore, Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference to cry
(Oh no)
So this is goodbye

[Breakdown]
I've been here before
One day a week
And it won't hurt anymore
You caught me in a lie
I have no alibi
The words you say don't have a meaning
Cause..

[Bridge]
I still don't have the reason
And you don't have the time
And it really makes me wonder
If I ever gave a f**k about you and I...
and so this is goodbye

[Chorus 1 + 2]
Give me something to believe in
Cause I don't believe in you,
Anymore, Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference,
It even makes a difference to try
And you told me how you're feeling
But I don't believe it's true
Anymore Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference to cry
(Oh no)
So this is goodbye
So this is goodbye, yeah (x 3)
(Oh no)

ALBUM REVIEW

Maroon 5’s 2002 debut album, Songs About Jane, was the kind of hit that doesn't happen often in the new millennium — a genuine word-of-mouth hit whose popularity grew steadily after its release, largely due to the sweet, sunny hit "This Love," a song sly and catchy enough to stay on the adult pop charts for years without wearing out its welcome. It also was catchy enough to engender years of goodwill. Five years of goodwill, in fact, as the band toured heavily while slowly tinkering away on their second album, finally delivering It Won't Be Soon Before Long (its title perhaps a pun on the gap between records, perhaps not) half a decade after Songs About Jane. If that delay sounds like a symptom of sophomore jitters, that's not exactly true, since during that long stretch between albums Maroon 5 worked Songs About Jane and, in a sense, that album wasn't strictly their first album, either. Maroon 5 evolved out of Kara's Flowers, a post-grunge pop band whose 1997 debut never took off, not even when their debut was reissued in the wake of Maroon's success, but it did provide the group with the foundation for their success; it's where they paid their dues and learned how to be a pop band. Traces of Kara's Flowers could be heard in Maroon's rockier moments on their debut, but under their new name, the group began to develop an infatuation with blue-eyed soul-pop, which they wisely develop on It Won't Be Soon Before Long. More than develop, they modernize it, borrowing elements of Justin Timberlake's stylized synthesized soul, but Adam Levine is wise enough to know that he's no young colt, like JT. He knows that he's a pop guy, somewhat in the tradition of Hall Si Oates, but he isn't trying to be retro, he's trying to fill that void, making records that are melodic, stylish, and soulful, which It Won't Be Soon Before Long certainly is.
In every respect, It Won't Be Soon is a bigger album than its predecessor: hooks pile up one after another, there's not an ounce of fat on the songs, the production is so immaculate that it glistens. If there were lingering elements of Maroon 5’s alt-rock past on Songs About Jane — primarily in its lazy, hazy vibe —they're gone now, replaced by the sleek, assured sound of a band that's eager to embrace its status as the big American mainstream pop band of the decade. But Maroon 5 isn't desperately grasping at the brass ring, they're playing it smart, building upon the core strengths of their debut and crafting a record that's designed to appeal to many different listeners, from teens crushing on Nelly Furtado's R&B makeover to adults looking for something smooth and melodic. It Won't Be Soon Before Long appeals to both audiences with an ease that seems effortless, but like any modern blockbuster, this album was shepherded by several different teams of producers, all brought in to emphasize a different personality within the group. The bulk of the record was cut with Spike Stent and Mike Elizondo — Stent worked with U2, Oasis, Bj?rk, and Gwen Stefani, while Elizondo had produced Fiona Apple and Pink — but Queens of the Stone Age producer Eric Valentine was brought in for a couple of cuts, as was Mark Endert, who mixed This Love."There may have been three different sets of producers, but the album is streamlined and seamless, never seeming calculated even if it was dearly made with an eye on mass appeal, and there are two reasons for that. First, Maroon 5 has gelled as a band, developing a dean, crisp attack that may bear traces of its influences — there are knowing references to Prince, the Police, even OutKast sprinkled throughout (the keyboard on "Little of Your Time" is a direct nod to "Hey Ya") — but it's a sound that's instantly identifiable as the band's own signature. Nowhere is that more evident than in how they can give soulful grooves like "If I Never See Your Face Again" a rock edge — or how they can suddenly explode into shards of noise as they do on the coda of "kiwi" — or how when the electronic instruments dominate the production, the music still breathes like the work of an actual band, not like something that was constructed on a computer. But like with any good blue-eyed soul, the reason that this album works is the songs themselves. Even the flashiest production-driven tracks here — the opening one-two punch of "If I Never See Your Face Again" and Makes Me Wonder" — aren't about feel; they're about the songs, which are uniformly tight and tuneful, sounding better with repeated plays, the way any radio-oriented pop should. If some of the ballads aren't as distinguished as the livelier tracks, they nevertheless are as sharply crafted as the rest, and the end result is that It Won't Be Soon Before Long is that rare self-stylized blockbuster album that sounds as big and satisfying as was intended.

Finding Nemo Script


Finding Nemo Script Download

为什么会放Finding Nemo的剧本在上面呢?因为我打赌打输了。。。
和小崔喝咖啡吹牛,聊到Pixar,接着开始排Pixar制作的电影年表,提到Finding Nemo时,小崔说是03年的,我硬说是04年的,还打一顿饭的赌。
回来一查,才发现自己搞错了,最近脑子是坏了,不过也让我想起那时看这片子时的一些情景,全程的温馨感动~
给个IMDb的链接http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0266543/
分数打得很高的,8.2啦
丰富的想象力,不断突破创新CG特效技术,对细节一丝不苟的处理,不低俗的幽默搞笑,还有对善的深刻挖掘,是Pixar成功及受人喜爱的原因。

剧本的制作者也很搞笑,提到这句——
And remember: 'Fish are friends, not food'.

龟龟在看你哦~

小破我没开玩笑

老破还活着,还干老本行,同学们去看看吧

PoEnglish挂了。。。
现在不设代理,是绝对访问不了PoEnglish的。
我决定停止PoEnglish的更新,原因很简单——你通过代理访问到PoEnglish,就可以直接去逛VOA和wiki了,这里的发布就变得没意义了。所以VOA的每日更新我是不会在PoEnglish V2发布的,当然G宝盒里还会有我每天做的作业,所以。。。还有每月初请用eMule下载上月的合辑
为了继续坚持英语学习,我要把PoEnglish V2建起来,因为我坚信毛主席说的

再次声明:PoEnglish V2将不会包含任何中国政府禁止的链接。我只想学好英语,不想再招惹什么是非了,所以请看不见的手高抬贵手。如果有敏感不合适的内容,劳烦邮件通知下。

PoEnglish V2这里贴什么内容,我还真想不出来了。现在被禁的内容不能贴了,又不想贴网上大家都能找到的内容,所以是有点麻烦了。不过还是有材料的,英文的一些报刊里可以找到点有趣的东西,来跟大家交流。

感谢两个多月以来关心支持PoEnglish的朋友们,英语学习学无止尽,希望能在这里可以和大家安心学习。。。
PoEnglish心中不忘主席教诲
