Where is the moment when we need it the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue sky's faded to grey
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carrying on
Stand in the line just ahead of the law
You're faking a smile with the coffee you go
You tell me your life's been way off line
You're falling to pieces every time
And I don''t need no carrying on
Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
Well you need a blue sky holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carrying on
You had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don''t know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
Sometimes the system goes on the blink and the whole thing it turns out Wrong
You might not make it back and you know that you could be well oh that Strong
Well I''m not wrong
So where is the passion when you need it the most
Oh you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You've seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

Daniel生长在加拿大英属哥伦比亚省的奥克纳根地区，自幼酷爱音乐，学习拉小提琴。他这种异于其他同龄小孩的行为使得他在学校处处受孤立，于是他把所有的热情都倾注到了音乐之中，为后来选择音乐道路打下了伏笔。与一些美国和加拿大的偶像艺人一鸣惊人的星路历程不同，Daniel的不懈努力在15年后才终于结出硕果。他苦涩的奋斗过程充满了辛酸，勤勉地创作，演奏音乐，四处奔波联系唱片公司，不停地吃闭门羹。Daniel自己说道，“我总是往唱片公司跑，感觉就像是奇渴难当的我被带到了某个水源却被禁止饮水。”他又补充道，“但我想我已经到达那里了，基本上我所要做的就是等待，认输只是一种极不成熟的处理方式。”
正是Daniel的坚忍和顽强使他迈向了成功之路。去年可口可乐选中他的歌曲'Bad Day'作为一个为期两周的广告活动的宣传曲目，此后这首歌曲便攀升上了欧洲的排行榜，随后在他的祖国加拿大也开始走红。Daniel在欧洲扶摇直上的人气连他自己都觉得难以置信，“最让我惊奇的是这首歌在一些非英语国家也大受好评，当我得知消息时，我就像，‘天啊，这到底是怎么回事？’我并不会讲德语、法语、西班牙语或是意大利语。我一生当中都在演奏音乐，而我一刻也从未想过我的歌会在电台中播出。”
除了难耐的漫长等待和艰辛努力外，Daniel还需克服怯场这个毛病。在这个月初的柏林数千人的Live 8现场他就进行了一次试验。“我把钢琴朝向树木，这样当我抬起头的时候我所看到的就只是树了。”他自己说到此事时也笑了。“我以前在西海岸的小酒吧表演时常感到自己很脆弱，但一旦听众跟着你哼唱时，这种脆弱感就烟消云散了。”
Daniel的处女专辑『dp』是他与制作人Mitchell Froom和Jeff Dawson共同完成的，专辑中包括10首曲目，首首精致动听。主打单曲'Bad Day'是一首舒心的流行作品，简约的钢琴伴奏缓缓飘入耳际，Daniel清新高亢的歌声不时穿插着假声转换，显得具有力度而又不失流畅感。除了流行的Pop元素外，Daniel还尝试将Funk, Soul, Rock巧妙地融为一炉，打造新鲜而富有感染力的新声音。专辑中的几首歌曲如'Hollywood','Give Me Life'等让我即刻想起了另外一位才华横溢的多方位艺人Remy Shand，两把磁性的声音惊人地相似，淡淡的飘逸灵魂曲风也和Remy的音乐具有异曲同工之妙。
这位15年磨一剑的“新人”到底能否借着新专辑的推出得到广泛的认可，我们只能拭目以待了。 |
