黑白迷幻 却有小小的温暖『It’all a lie』-----Keren Ann

她是法国乐坛最受瞩目的民谣才女，出生在以色列，11岁迁往巴黎后得到了JoniMitchell的赏识而结识了著名制作人Benjamin Biolay。她是个用法语歌唱生活的女孩，她的民谣清新，和古老的传说联系在一起，和远去的岁月里绵绵的小故事牵手，直接承载于简陋的乐器声中。『It’all a lie』收录在2007年同名专辑Keren Ann里，封面的照片很苍白，风格延续了以往的安静和迷茫，但足够抚慰心灵。

The lips of time, they kiss again
When I walk alone, into the night
They know my voice, they know my name
My need for love, my fear of heights
So I keep my wit, my running game
My shoulders straight and chin up high
But it's all a lie
It's all a lie

And I forget how the time, it flies
When my fingers crossed, I hope in vain
That you'll be home with sleepy eyes
To fix it all, cause you know my pain
And I forget how the time, it flies
When the day is long, and it keeps me dry
Cause it's all a lie

There's no perfect way to clear the mess
We both a past, in a silver frame
See, my heart, it died, a slow weary death
In the tainted arms of another man
But you and I we're no different
Than the rest of the world
When the morning rings
Everyone wants a piece of the love of god
And everyone sings....everyone sings

I know you can tell that I can't help myself
But I can't help myself
Cause it's all a lie
It's all a lie

The lips of time, they kiss again
When I walk alone, into the night
They know my voice, they know my name
My need for love, my fear of heights
But seen I'm not different than the rest of the world
When the morning rings
I just want a piece of the love of god

单靠一把吉他与歌声，凯伦安也能征服全世界
『It’all a lie』一如Mazzy Star的迷幻自溺
即便是忧愁与哀伤的嗟叹，都好似美好的礼赞
