Aren't You Glad
作詞/作曲:Russell Harris
編曲:劉志遠
製作:Jim Lee
Aren't you glad you didn't stay with me
Bohemian life and instability
You went off to university
And you took your love away from me
Endless nights, lovers, friends and fun
Big-City lights, your new life had begun
*And as the world turns on and on
Love is lost and love is won,
laughed and cried when we were young
You went your own way. I survived
And did you ever see everything inside of me?*
So now you live your life in luxury
Double glazing, turbo washing machine
And your fiance is boring as hell
You never laugh, you’re both professional
You know that film. That I'd started to write?
It's a box-office smash, I'm on the next flight
To get my award on TV tonight
Looking back, I think I've done alright
REEPAT**
Oh, aren't you glad you didn't stay.
Oh aren't you glad you didn't stay with me?
Oh, aren't you glad you didn't stay with me?
You didn't want my love,
So aren’t you glad, aren't you glad, aren't you glad?
Aren't you glad, aren't you glad,
Aren't you glad, aren't you glad
Eason陳奕迅首支英文歌《Aren't You Glad》收錄在陳奕迅2008全新國語專輯《不想放手》中。
《Aren't You Glad》這首歌寫的是女方尋求安穩的生活,
畢業後一心想離開生活潦倒的男友。
但生活並沒有因為誰而停下,
女的在大都市的生活多姿多彩,
跟未婚夫一樣都成 為了專業人士,
得到了她嚮往的安定;
而男的已經是著名編劇,
但對於多年前女方的離開一直沒有放開,
所以問,離開我的你,真的過得愉快嗎?
“一直在等國語詞,
不過原本連同Demo一同寄來的英文歌詞,
聽罷,感覺好澎湃,就錄了現有的英文版本。
歌詞的內容我十分喜歡,
大家終于可以聽到第一首Eason的英語單曲。”----Eason
值得紀念阿,第一首英文歌。快聽。
不聽會後悔。
