本網(wǎng)小評
：玫瑰花很美，鮮紅如火、奔放熱烈，火紅的玫瑰永遠會令情人怦然心動。只是，當(dāng)玫瑰花枯萎時，凋零的花兒是否更顯失意者言之不盡的哀怨、凄惋和無助？
僅就歌詞而言，這首歌獨具匠心之處在于意象的選取——落日、石頭和凋零的玫瑰花，三者完美的結(jié)合把失戀者凄涼落魄的心境、孤注一擲的堅強以及堅強外表下不堪一擊的脆弱揮灑得淋漓盡致。由此，歌曲雖然反映的是失戀，卻沒有象大多數(shù)失戀歌曲那樣，璇入一發(fā)不可收拾的傷感泥淖，配上主唱清涼、勁道的嗓音，更讓歌曲盡顯Roxette獨樹一幟的熱烈和奔放……
推薦曲目1 ： It must have been love——此曲后來被收入全球熱門影片Pretty
Woman（《風(fēng)月俏佳人》）電影原聲專輯中，是Roxette最成功的作品。
推薦曲目2 ：Listen
to your heart——與The look同出自專輯Look sharp（《小心》），成為該專輯最受歡迎的熱門單曲之一。
推薦曲目3 ： Listen to your
heart——D.H.T純美鋼琴伴奏版“不插電”演唱，2005年，正是憑借這首舍掉電子合成后的unplugged翻唱版，名不經(jīng)傳的比利時D.H.T（Dance
House Trance）樂隊得以成功打入美國音樂界。
推薦曲目4 ：Joyride—— Roxette 第三章專輯 Joyride
同名主打歌曲，意為“兜風(fēng)、駕車游玩”。有點遺憾，這支曲子本應(yīng)在五一節(jié)期間向您推薦，但不妨保留下來，留待下個假日與您一起快樂去“兜風(fēng)”。
Lyrics
Fading like a
flower by
Roxette
In a time where the sun descends alone
I ran a long long way from home
To
find a heart that's made of stone
I will try, I just need a little time
To get your
face right out of my mind
To see
the world through different eyes
Every time I see you oh I try to hide away
But when we
meet it seems I can't let go
Every time you leave the room I feel I'm fading like a flower
Tell
me why
When I scream there's no reply
When I reach out there's nothing to find
When I sleep
I break down and cry
Cry, yeah
Every time I see you oh I try to hide away
But when we
meet it seems I can't let go
Every time you leave the room I feel I'm fading
like a flower
Fading like a rose
Fading like a rose
Beaten by the storm
I
Talking to myself
Getting washed by the rain
It's such a cold cold town
Oh, it's a such cold town
Every time I see you oh I try to hide away
But when we
meet it seems I can't let go
Every time you leave the room I feel I'm fading
like a flower
Every time I see you oh I try to hide away
But when we
meet it seems I can't let go
Every time you leave the room I feel I'm fading
like a flower
Every time I see you oh I try to hide away
But when we
meet it seems I can't let go
Every time you leave the room I feel I'm fading
like a flower
