You Sent Me Flying　5'16"

Lent you Outsidaz, and my new Badu

While you were thinking I didn't have a clue

Tough to sort files, with your voice in my head

So then I bribed you downstairs with a Marlboro Red, uh

And now I feel so small discovering you knew

How much more torture would you have put me through?

You probably saw me laughing at all your jokes

Or how I did not mind when you stole all my smokes, yeah

And although my pride, is not easy to disturb, yeah

You sent me flying ,when you kicked me to the curb

With your battered jeans yeah, and your Beasties tee

Now I can't work like this, no no, with you next to me

And although he's nothing, in the scheme of my years

It just serves to bludgeon my futile tears

And I'm not use to this, no no, I observe yeah, I don't chase

But now I'm stuck with consequences, thrust in my face, yeah

And the melodramas of my day delivery blows

And that surpass your rejection, it just goes to show

A simple attraction that reflects right back to me

So I'm not as into you as I appear to be, yeah

Although my pride, yeah, is not easily disturbed

You sent me flying, when you kicked me to the curb

With your battered jeans, yeah and your Beasties tee, yeah yeah

Now I can't work like this, no, with you, next to me yeah yeah yeah

His message was brutal, but the delivery was kind

Maybe if I get this down, I'll get it off my mind, yeah

Oh it serves to condition me, and smoothen my kinks, yeah

Despite my frustration for the way that he thinks

And I knew the truth, when it came, would be to that effect

At least you're attracted to me which I did not expect

Didn't think you'd get my number down as such

But I never hated myself, for my age so much, yeah

And although my pride, yeah, is not easy to disturbed, yeah

You sent me flying, when you kicked me to the curb, yeah

So with your battered jeans, yeah, and your Beasties tee

Now I can't work like this, no no, with you next to me, yeah

And although my pride, yeah, is not easy to disturbed, yeah

You sent me flying, when you kicked me to the curb, yeah

So with your battered jeans yeah, and your Beasties tee...

（以下為本人翻譯之中文歌詞）

借你Outsidaz　和我新的芭朵專輯

就在你以為我毫無頭緒的時候

整理檔案不容易　因為你的聲音在我腦中不斷迴盪

所以我用紅Marlboro賄賂你　讓你下樓

儘管我的尊嚴　無法輕易撼動

當你將我棄之路邊　我仍如夢初醒

看著你的刷白牛仔褲　印著野獸男孩的Ｔ恤

現在我無法再這樣繼續下去　不　無法　再與你共處

雖然在我這段歲月裡　他什麼都不是

只讓我　徒勞痛哭落淚

我無法習慣這樣的生活　不不　只看著　而不追逐

他用仁慈的方式傳達　多麼殘酷的訊息

或許當事情塵埃落定　我也已然放下了

喔　這是為了讓我適應　撫順我的毛病吧

儘管使我這般挫折的緣由　就是他的想法

上週六是 Amy Winehouse 逝世六年的日子，還記得當時聽到她的噩耗時，當下真的就像上個禮拜一樣錯愕。

娜塔個人非常喜歡她的第一張專輯《Frank》，在這張專輯裡就已經可以發現 Amy 的創作能力極為優秀，而且專輯整體質感真的非常好。當然，第二張專輯《Back to Black》獲得了更大的迴響，台灣許多人開始知道她，也是因為該專輯中的主打〈You Know I'm No Good〉在當時根本播遍大街小巷啊～～！不過，在她僅有的這兩張專輯中，個人還是比較喜歡第一張專輯。

這首〈You Sent Me Flying〉是該專輯中讓我難以自拔不斷反覆聆聽的歌曲，Amy 的歌唱的實力有此可見一斑。分享給大家的是專輯版，也推薦大家可以看看現場版（影片如下），真的是位天生歌姬啊Q_Q.....

可惜，一般人對她的印象大多都在媒體呈現的形象之上，卻忘記了她那令人驚嘆的音樂天賦。有機會的話，請務必好好欣賞她的作品。
