果然我没法做到真正的”每日一歌“，呵呵，太忙太懒太没效率了。
这次要介绍的这首是我前几天在豆瓣电台听到的，英国的新派爵士青年Jamie Cullum的”These are the days“，收录在他04年发行的第二张专辑—–让他一炮而红的《Twentysomething》里。
他翻唱了很多经典的爵士名曲，比如Billie Holiday的“What a Difference a Day Made”,经典歌舞电影《雨中曲》主题曲”Singing in the rain”，我喜欢这两首要甚过于今天介绍的这首”These are the days”，因为他翻唱得太好听了！现在的年轻歌手玩爵士的也不少，但是玩出花样玩出个性的不多，Jamie Cullum是那种会让没听过爵士的年轻人立马爱上爵士的歌手，他的歌声可以很沧桑很深情，却也可以很high很狂野，一首歌里面会有很多情绪起伏，编曲很大胆，比如”Singing in the rain”跟原版真的是完全不一样的感觉，节奏感鲜明，除了jazz外有点rock又有点soul。
“These are the days”属于jazz偏pop一点，是他哥哥Ben为他而写的，琅琅上口，适合在KTV里面唱（很显然KTV里是没这歌的）。
These are the days that I’ve been missing
Give me the taste give me the joy of summer wine
These are the days that bring new meaning
I feel the stillness of the sun and I feel fine
Sometimes when the nights are closing early
I remember you and I start to smile
Even though now you don’t want to know me
I get on by, and I go the extra mile
These are the times of love and meaning
Ice of the heart has melted away and found the light
These are the days of endless dreaming
Troubles of life are floating away like a bird in flight
These are the days
These are the days
These are the days
I’ve thought you said that love would last forever
Leave and that the tears would end for good
I told you that we get through any weather
Maybe that didn’t work out
But we did the best we could
These are the days that I’ve been missing
Give me the taste give me the joy of summer wine
These are the days that bring new meaning
I feel the stillness of the sun and I feel fine
PS. 前年看过的一部感人的家庭题材电影《Grace is gone》的同名主题曲也是他唱的，当时一直听却没注意到他。
