音乐咖啡厅:Sitting Waiting Wishing 痴痴等待

英文歌词:

Now I was sitting waiting wishing
that you believed in superstitions
then maybe you'd see the signs
But Lord knows that this world is cruel
and I ain't the Lord, no I'm just a fool
and in loving somebody don't make them love you

Must I always be waiting waiting on you?
Must I always be playing playing the fool?

I sing ya songs I dance a dance
I gave ya friends all a chance
putting up with them wasn't worth never having you
and maybe you been through this before
but its my first time
so please ignore
the next few lines cause they're directed at you

I cant¹ always be waiting waiting on you
I cant always be playing playing your fool
I keep playing your cards
but its not my scene
wont this plot not twist?
I have no place to read?
Keep building me up, then shooting me down
well im already down
Just wait a minute
Just sitting waiting
Just wait a minute
Just sitting waiting

Well if I was in your position
Id put down all my ammunition
I'd wondered why'd it taken me so long
But Lord knows that I'm not you
and If I was I wouldn't be so cruel
cause waiting on love ain't so easy to do

Must I always be waiting waiting on you?
Must I always be playing playing the fool?
No I cant always be waiting waiting on you
I cant always be playing playing your fool, foool
歌手介绍:

---单曲《Sitting, Waiting, Wishing》获得2005年度第48届格莱美奖“最佳流行男歌手”奖的提名

Jack² Johnson，冲浪手，民谣歌手，导演。
从小在夏威夷长大，Jack Johnson会走路的时候也会冲浪，17岁的时候他已经是冲浪界的天才，以最年轻的年纪扬名于世界级冲浪大赛(Pipeline Masters)，正当体坛将他锁定成海滩明日之星，比赛后一个月，Jack Johnson在冲浪时发生严重意外，脸上缝了150针，让他整整三个月无法出门，却也给了他三个月抱着吉他、创作音乐的时光；但是Jack Johnson并没有一鼓作气成为创作歌手，18岁的他选择到加州大学念电影，99年导演并且担任电影配乐完成了冲浪电影《Thicker Than Water》，初执导演筒的他，赢得各影展最佳导演等大奖，眼见着Jack Johnson就要加入电影界，新的一波浪潮却迎面来袭；杰克自弹自唱的歌曲，早期就被冲浪巨星们作成卡带复制流传，2005年的今天，Jack Johnson，这个海滩男孩，不只是冲浪天才、不只是得奖导演、他是全球销量300万张的创作才子。
“Jack Johnson擅长创作清新而自然的音乐，简单的空心吉他搭配他温煦柔和的嗓音，让人感觉轻松而舒适,感觉像他的家乡夏威夷的阳光和沙滩一样……”权威音乐网站AMG这样推崇他的音乐风格。往返夏威夷与洛杉矶两地，Jack Johnson于2005年录制完成最新专辑《In Between Dreams》，有着大海般的歌声加上纯熟的吉他弹奏，创作出一首接一首轻松惬意、混融民谣、蓝调、雷鬼和Bossa Nova的清新作品。简单却完美的专辑创作，在没有商业广告的加持下，《In Between Dreams》却在美国发行首周，以23万张的惊人销售空降全美告示牌专辑榜第2名，在乐评、乐迷、以及电台DJ的热情支持下，《In Between Dreams》在不到2个月的发行后在全球默默卖出200万张。Radiohead的主唱曾对Jack Johnson说：“你真是天生的人型节奏组(human drum set)，嘴巴就像钹，打开了就有切分音”；美国权威杂志评论杰克的歌词创作：是“21世纪的Bob Dylan”。Jack Johnson特殊的魅力，让世界上任何浪高于4英尺的地方，就有冲浪客聚集着聆听他的专辑；他的音乐会出现在伦敦顶级的时尚bar里，也会出现在曼谷的盗版摊上。但对杰克来说，他只是个冲浪家、喜欢电影、跟会唱歌的人，他不叫魔术Johnson、他是Jack Johnson。
