Daniel Powter:
Daniel Powter是個頗厲害的傢伙,他非常懂得掌握流行歌曲,
初次聽到〝Bad Day〞這首歌,可能會有俗爛的反應出現,
畢竟一些假音的出現,起承轉合拿捏的恰到好處,
再加上激勵人心的歌詞,大體上就是一般人俗稱的芭樂歌。
不過在聽久之後,卻意外感受到耐聽,DP歌詞所敘述的竟是如此平易近人。
加上這支MV拍的實在太可愛了,沒看過的人一定要看一下。
來自於加拿大西南部的Daniel Powter,從小接觸的音樂是古典樂,
而後漸漸受到搖滾和靈魂音樂的啟發,可知專輯內鋼琴的運用是貫穿整張大碟。
DP的首張同名專輯基本上跟KT類似,敘述的是一般人日常生活,
展現的是屬於樂觀積極的一面,於是聽起來便是令人愉快,
加上如描述一夜情的〝Free Loop〞、〝Jimmy Gets High〞等無比流行、朗朗上口的曲調,
不得不佩服DP的厲害。
開場曲Song 6可能是專輯內最棒的歌曲,編曲豐富,甜而不膩,歌詞打動人心,
DP的才華展露無遺。Daniel Powter同名專輯也是能令人滿意。

Bad Day
Where is the moment we needed the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue skies fade to gray
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carryin' on
You stand in the line just to hit a new low
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 carryin' on
Because 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
Will you need a blue sky holiday?
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carryin' 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
(Oooh.. a holiday..)
Sometimes the system goes on the blink
And the whole thing turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know
That you could be well oh that strong
And I'm not wrong
(yeah...)
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
