乡村音乐:Azure Ray《 If You Fall》

（单词翻译）

Azure¹ Ray《 If You Fall》（弗蕾奶茶广告歌曲）

有一种音乐，作为背景音乐时毫无知觉，只觉得很轻缓、很好听，但让你很想放下手边工作，等你看看歌词，仔细听她们到底在唱什麼时，却不自觉让旋律一遍一遍至熟记为止，这些缓慢悲伤的曲子，有著心情净化的仪式效果。MariaTaylor和OrendaFink两个女生组成的AzureRay，即是属于这一类。

MariaTaylor和OrendaFink出生于美国乔治亚州Athens，与R.E.M.是同乡(年纪差不多是他们的侄女辈吧)。两人十六岁时结识于亚拉巴马州立艺术学校，Maria主修芭蕾，Orenda主修戏剧，都对音乐保持强烈兴趣。毕业後搬到内布达加斯州Omaha参加了powerpop乐队LittleRedRocket，之後组成低调民谣风格的AzureRay。所加入的独立厂牌SaddleCreek，就像个大家庭，乐手都在两个以上的乐队演出，彼此熟识，相互支援，例如AzureRay常与BrightEyes巡回演出，让Omaha成为近年来美国中西部独立摇滚的重要基地。
Azure Ray在音乐的表现上最引人注目的是MariaTaylor和OrendaFink默契绝佳、清新淡雅的和声，空心吉他、钢琴的器乐演奏以及优美的旋律都是聆听的重点，她们的曲风像是不吵闹时候的ThrowingMuses，表现出纤细脆弱情感时的KristinHersh和TanyaDonelly姊妹俩，有些曲子又有著MazzyStar的梦幻感。


英文歌词
If you fall

Let's talk and we'll fill the air with imagery that lasts forever
So this is love that's a lovely thought
You have to care for it to keep it together
If you fall will you get up
You're stuck in a dream will you wake up
And if you fell in love will you hold on to it
And if it's cold will you stay warm
You drift too far will you swim towards the shore
And if you fell in love will you hold on to it
Let's sing and we'll fill the air with melodies that blend together
You speak so sweet with words so delicate
A glass i hope will never shatter
If you fall will you get up
You're stuck in a dream will you wake up
And if you fell in love will you hold on to it
And if it's cold will you stay warm
You drift too far will you swim towards the shore
And if you fell in love will you hold on to it
