創作背景
這首(shou)"Lemon Tree"是(shi)寫一位(wei)大男孩(hai)在某個下(xia)著太陽(yang)雨的星期天下(xia)午等著他的女朋(peng)友,歌曲將等人時(shi)的焦慮不安及胡思(si)亂想的心情表現得(de)淋(lin)漓(li)盡(jin)致。
Fool's Garden幾乎可以(yi)和"Lemon Tree"劃等號,從最初(chu)組隊到由此曲(qu)走紅(hong),Fool's Garden已(yi)在(zai)地下摸爬滾打了(le)5年,其貌(mao)不揚的(de)(de)(de)他們直到德國電臺聽眾(zhong)紛(fen)紛(fen)點(dian)播"Lemon Tree"時才為(wei)人所(suo)(suo)知。1996年這首傳唱至今的(de)(de)(de)經典(dian)歌曲(qu)讓全世界(jie)記(ji)住了(le)這個(ge)來自(zi)德國的(de)(de)(de)年輕樂(le)隊。然而也正是"Lemon Tree"所(suo)(suo)創造的(de)(de)(de)輝煌巔峰將Fool's Garden推入了(le)已(yi)有無(wu)數前車之鑒的(de)(de)(de)"One Hit Wonder"的(de)(de)(de)尷尬(ga)境地,重(zhong)蹈覆(fu)轍的(de)(de)(de)他們之后音樂(le)再也未能超越"Lemon Tree"這首蜚聲全球的(de)(de)(de)紅(hong)曲(qu)而漸(jian)漸(jian)地無(wu)人問津了(le)。
英文歌詞
I'm sitting here in a boring room
It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon
I'm wasting my time I got nothing to do
I'm hanging around I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens and I wonder
I'm driving around in my car
I'm driving too fast I'm driving too far
I'd like to change my point of view
I feel so lonely I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens and I wonder
I wonder how I wonder why
Yesterday you told me about the blue blue sky
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon tree
I'm turning my head up and down
.....
