英文簡介
Short stories deliver brief but indelible journeys. A single mouthful of sublime textures, or a window cracked -- fresh and sparkling images peeking through. Short Stories is also the title of Oh Susanna latest release, an intimate series of portraits and journeys that echo the haunting sound of her debut EP.
Short Stories is a dramatic and compelling collection of songs inspired by both the lives of people in Oh Susanna family and by those recorded in 20th Century American writing. It shares personal fables of heroes and antiheroes as if through the lens of a documentary film.
Short Stories will seduce new listeners and reward the returning. For those who have traveled with her from one album touchstone to the next, there is both continuity and surprise. Literary and cinematic as much as musical, Short Stories has a natural beauty that both entertains and gives the listener room to roam.
Over the last 10 years, Oh Susanna has garnered critical acclaim and loyal audiences around the world with Oh Susanna (2003), Sleepy Little Sailor (2001), Johnstown (1999), and EP (1997). She grew up a Canadian with an American passport, staring at the ocean, mountains and railroad tracks through sheets of rain. She sought refuge with song under burnt-out warehouses and in darkened clubs with the promise of guitar twang and a lonesome cry. Along the way she found inspiration in the music of the likes of Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen, as well as peers Jim Bryson, Sarah Harmer, Neko Case, Ron Sexsmith, Fred Eaglesmith, Eliza Gilkyson, Patti Griffin, and Iris Dement. Short Stories reunites Suzie with long time band-mates Bazil Donovan (Blue Rodeo) on bass, Cam Giroux (Weeping Tile, By Divine Right) on drums, Bob Packwood (Blue Rodeo) on piano as well as the explosive talents of Luke Doucet, Justin Rutledge and Burke Carroll.
An obvious stand out track is the epic ? You can almost see the credits roll up the screen as this track begs for inclusion on a soundtrack. Suzie抯 story about making a new start after a period of darkness is layered over a touching string arrangement by Kevin Fox.
Upon the release of Short Stories, Oh Susanna will be embarking on a cross-Canada promo tour so that she can tell you more about the album in person. She will also perform an intimate show in each of the cities that she will be visiting. More details to follow. In the meantime, we hope you enjoy Short Stories.

歌詞及翻譯
歌詞
Forever At Your Feet
A locket on a chain
A bow that's made from rain
A briar grows entwined with rose
I've come to be forever at your feet
A blossom pages pressed
A knocking at my chest
Oh, winding road please take me home
I long to be forever at your feet
And I hope that you won't mind, my dear
When you see my eyes are lined, my dear
It's because I've waited all these years
For your kisses sweeter than milk
And your touch that's softer than silk
For your treasures
I will be forever at your feet
翻譯
項鍊上的照片盒裡那陽光一般的微笑
縱然此刻雨絲為弦，拉滿愁緒的弓箭
縱然玫瑰上纏滿荊棘
我也願永遠與你相隨
翻到書頁里夾著舊時的一葉花
我的胸口卻像被狠狠撞了一下
蜿蜒曲徑啊，可不可以帶我回家
我渴望永遠追隨你的身影
親愛的，我希望你不要在意
當你看到皺紋已爬上我的眼角
那是我在漫長等待中計時的刻線
只為你比牛奶更甜蜜的吻
比蠶絲更溫柔的擁抱
為了最可寶貴的你
我願永遠與你相隨
歌曲意境
Oh Susanna的Forever at your feet（永遠追隨），在網路上完全是集詩情畫意的的完美評價於一身，例舉一二：
1. 偶然有一天聽到Oh Susanna在《Sleepy Little Sailor》專輯中的《Forever at your feet》。超喜歡那種乾淨的音樂&憂鬱雨聲：
雨還沒有來，霧總是先行的，看得見，摸不著，但是感覺得到，觸肌似有微涼。走在山路，聽到風掌拍打樹葉的嘩嘩聲，牛鈴的叮噹聲，迎向前去，就與山雨碰頭了。怕山雨的糾纏，躲進葉茂蔭濃，卻攔不住雨水順著葉面，一匹滴下一匹的來叩擊聽覺；冷眼看樹外的空間，雨勢時驟時疏，雨霧時濃時淡，一幅朦朧透出的水墨韻味，使人無由地多了幾分感受。 雨聲，蘊含一種淡淡憂愁的詩意；聽雨，則是覺察……人生的苦悶遂紛至沓來，心靈飽受淋漓之苦。此種雨聲帶來的感受雖不得意，但隱隱然自有一種淡而高遠的孤清……
2. 聽著這首歌就想起余光中的《聽聽那冷雨》，前塵隔海，古屋不再。聽聽那冷雨……
清晰的雷雨聲，娓娓細訴的如詩聲線，已無法分清雷雨聲來自窗外還是曲中，很多事情已沒必要分清，我們需要做的，只是讓曼妙聲音蕩滌著我們的心靈。
3. 整個音樂的背景是下雨的聲音，加強了因痴情而傷感的氛圍，包括歌者淡淡的而飽含感情的唱腔。這種配合天衣無縫。
4. 雨聲、雷聲、鋼琴聲，緩緩的提琴聲，加上低吟的女聲、潺潺的流水聲，這樣的音樂讓我陷進一種情緒里不能自拔……
Oh susanna（喔，蘇珊娜）——本身是一首很有名的英文老歌，或者用經典來形容更恰當，歌手的名字或許正來源於此，從她演唱的“Forever at your feet”這首歌來看，她確乎沒有辜負這首經典老歌的美名。
