不知大家是否还记得几年前台湾女歌手苏慧伦唱红过一首名为“Lemon Tree“的翻唱歌曲,此曲原唱者便是一支名不见经传的德国乐队Fool’s Garden 。凭借正当走红的苏慧伦的“引荐”,Fool's Garden不失时机来东南亚做宣传,并发行了这张《FOR SALE -- 出售》专辑,提高了知名度。90年代中后期的 Brit-Pop 潮流,在音乐上的一个重要特征便是回归六、七十年代的音乐风格,象 The Beatles、The Rolling Stones 、The Who 、The Smiths 等便是不少新晋乐队吸收模仿的对象。远在德国小城 Magstadt 的 5人乐队 Fool's Garden 虔诚地承传了The Beatles的遗风,无论歌曲的旋律、节奏,还是演唱表演风格,都模仿得维妙维肖。“Lemon Tree”的确很出彩,《FOR SALE》也相当有趣。相比之下新专辑则多了份沉稳,显得颇为内敛。新专辑显示了Fool's Garden走出模仿,探索自我风格的努力。象“Who Are You”、“Missing”、“Save Me”、“In The Name”、“Still”、“Happy”都已明显走出了The Beatles的影子。歌词创作也从叙事为主走向叙事与感性抒发并重。喜爱“Lemon Tree”的朋友可以从“It Can Happen”、“Allright”、“Suzy”等曲子中获得满足。

Can't understand
what I have seen
I can't recall
where I have been
Can't find the words
I wish to say,
I can't be near
can't get away
I cannot do
the things I should,
I wish I could
I can't say where,
I can't say when,
I can't promise now
to be your friend
can't be the one
that you adore,
I don't know what I'm livin' for
The reason why
I feel so blue
is just because
I'm missing you
I can't slow down,
I can't be fast,
don't know how long
it's gonna last,
I don't know why
my life has changed,
can't get the pieces
rearranged
The only thing
I know for sure
your love was pure
I cannot lose,
I cannot win,
can't end things up
that I begin,
I won't be better
than anyone,
I don't know where I'm comin' from
The reason why
I feel so blue
is just because
I'm missing you
I can't be strong
when I get lost,
I can't believe,
I cannot trust
and all the pain
I won't endure,
I can't be rich,
I can't be poor
I won't get used
to be sincere
wish you where here
I can't devote,
I can't get too deep,
can't struggle hard,
can't stand defeat
I cannot mend
what I mixed up
I cannot hold what I have got
The only thing
I know for sure
your love was pure
