听歌学英语:天籁女声Should It Matter
"Should It Matter"是挪威女歌手Sissel在"All Good Things"专辑中的一首歌。歌词描写的是一个女生在情感失意时的追悔和感伤。 宛如天籁的女声， 宛如初春午后的微风般的没有负担，亦好比早晨小草上的露水清新脱俗。这个女生正是挪威歌手Sissel；她有着一头清爽的短发形象，脸上总是挂着如阳光般灿烂的笑容。她的声线如空谷的风，轻柔、不羁， 带着 神秘的北欧气质，唯美的旋律， 炽热、深情地唱着关于爱情的点点滴滴， 一瞬间里就会让你怀想起那些甜蜜和浪漫的画面。"Should It Matter"这首歌高音特别靓，收放自如，游韧有余，极具穿透力。天鹅绒般柔美的弦乐伴奏隐约着清脆剔透的吉他弹拨，不知不觉间你所有的伪装就被这美到极致的音乐轻轻地给瓦解了。
I look at you
Please don’t walk away
I see you’re about to
There is just something I’d really like to say
So please don’t walk away
I know that you’re there
Still you pretend you’re not
Yes I know it hurts
I have also felt the pain
So should it matter
What I do or what I’ve done
As long as in my heart
You’re still the only one
I hear you say it
But I don’t think you understand
I can be trusted now, I swear to you I can*
It’s been a year a memory from my past
I know what I did wrong
I wish to change
Just to make it last
But I guess it’s been too long
Easy to move on
To forget to about it all
Is that what you do, hoping I will be gone
（Repeat）
If you got to know me again
Maybe then -- maybe then
We could see what we should do
But that’s all up to you
I’ll be waiting for you
