Time
歌詞：Time - Mikky Ekko
Well, the streets are empty
我們曾嬉戲奔跑的街道
where we used to run,
空無一人 了無生氣
and the cars are all on fire
所有的車都著火燃燒
Yeah, we fall like leaves
是啊 我們像是
in the garden of Eden, Eden
伊甸園的落葉般下墜
Now remember
現在還記得
how it felt being in the sun,
在陽光下的感受
when I heard the ancient choir
當我聽到古老唱詩班的歌聲
And the dead of night
夜深人靜時
like an angel singing, singing
像是天使在高歌吟誦
Time doesn't love you anymore
時光不再眷戀你
But I-I-I I'm still knocking at your door
但我還是敲響你的門
Honey we can run forever,
親愛的 我們可以永遠逃離
if forever it's what's install
如果永遠是那安排的宿命
Oh, time to take me home
喔 是時候帶我回家了
On a tree in the garden
花園裡的樹上
I carved your name,
我刻下你的名字
an word is spelled desire!
每個字都訴說著欲望
Like an ocean deep
像是遼闊的深海
with the waters even, even
涌動的水流般
And your love pours down
你的愛傾瀉而下
like a waterfall,
像是絕妙而又壯觀的瀑布
and I can't escape the tide
我無法逃避那翻滾的浪潮
Here's my hand,
給你我的手
baby take it or leave it, leave it
寶貝 抓住它或是離開它
cause time doesn't love you anymore,
因為時光不再眷戀你
But I-I-I I'm still knocking at your door
但我還是敲響你的門
Honey we can run forever,
親愛的 我們可以永遠逃離
if forever it's what's install
如果永遠是那安排的宿命
Oh, time to take me home
喔 是時候帶我回家了
ooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
噢噢噢噢
Now we're too young to recognize
我們還太年輕並不能意識到
Nothing stays the same
沒有永恆
Promise I won't be the one to blame!
答應我 我不會是那罪魁禍首
'Cause time doesn't love you anymore,
因為時光不再眷戀你
But I-I-I I'm still knocking at your door
但我還是敲響你的門
Honey we can run forever,
親愛的 我們可以永遠逃離
if forever it's what's install
如果永遠是那安排的宿命
Oh, time doesn't love you
時光不會像我愛你般
like I love you!
迷戀你
So take me home
就帶我回家吧
ooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
噢噢噢噢
Let me hear you say,
讓我聽到你的聲音
let me hear you say
讓我聽到你的聲音
評價：歌詞如詩般優美，聲音如天使吟誦。當美妙的歌聲像瀑布一樣落下，忘卻所有煩惱，感受黃昏下寧靜的懷想。緩慢舒緩的節奏，高潮時又節奏緊湊。
Mourning Doves
Look at how far we've come
Look at this mess we've made
I'm still praying that the sun,
tears my body from the shade
Tell me that we're too far gone
Tell me that we'll be okay
Swear to God I'd leave right now,
If Heaven wasn't so far away
But this is not an exercise
And nobody gets out alive
Stop What if I, what if I stop
Mourning doves, meet me in the morning
Love, what if I, what if I die before you wake
Promise, I promise you can lean on me, lean on me
I can be your shoulder,
There's still room for us to pull over
But we can't stop,
So in the morning, Love
We can be together like mourning doves
Yeah, realize that no escape,
Releases you from your mistakes
Oh, this is not a warning
But innocence is calling,
And I sense that's it's a falling embrace
Because this is not an exercise
And nobody gets out alive
Stop What if I, what if I stop
Mourning doves, meet me in the morning
Love, what if I, what if I die before you wake
Promise, I promise you can lean on me, lean on me
I can be your shoulder,
There's still room for us to pull over,
But we can't stop,
So in the morning, love,
We can be together like mourning doves
We can be together like mourning doves
Because we both know,
We're running out of time
We're running out of time
Listen Listen Listen Listen
Mourning doves, meet me in the morning
Love, what if I, what if I die before you wake
Promise, I promise you can lean on me, lean on me
I can be your shoulder,
There's still room for us to pull over,
But we can't stop,
So in the morning, love
We can be together like mourning doves
We can be together like mourning doves
mourning doves
We can be together like mourning doves
評價：前奏節奏緩慢，單音伴奏，注定此歌憂傷溫柔。猶如冬日清晨的陽光，卻又無奈猶如結束前的低聲訴說。只是一場哀悼··
Burning Doves
Burning Doves - Mikky Ekko
Behind the velvet rope
We hide in plain sight
We're dressed in black smoke
and have our hands tight
She says I see you babe,
But we are both blind
Our bodies' yearning for what
We cannot find
Uh, the end is beginning
And I'm falling
So take it or leave it,
'Cause I'm all in
We're too young to die today,
To die today
Oh ooh oh oh oh
We're too broken to fly away,
To fly away
Oh ooh oh oh oh
'Cause we both know better
then to set ourselves on fire,
All in the name of love
We're too young to be afraid
To fly like burning doves
You've been on your knees
Praying for so long, but
When you close your eyes,the words do not come
Uhm, but the end is beginning
And you're falling
So take it or leave it,
'Cause I'm all in!
We're too young to die today,
To die today
Oh ooh oh oh oh
We're too broken to fly away,
To fly away
Oh ooh oh oh oh
'Cause we both know better
then to set ourselves on fire,
All in the name of love
We're too young to be afraid
To fly like burning doves
Oh if you can show me love,
Yeah like I lift you up
And if you call my name
Heaven I can see again
And I'm sorry I'm sorry for the things we've done,
We're falling we're falling from a BURNING SUN,
We flew too high looking for love
We knew the skies were not high enough
We're too young to die today,
To die today
Oh ooh oh oh oh
We're too broken to fly away,
To fly away
Oh ooh oh oh oh
'Cause we both know better
then to set ourselves on fire,
All in the name of love
We're too young to be afraid
To fly like burning doves
評價：前奏清晨的鳥鳴，足以讓人心醉沉醉於最美的精緻。後面富有節奏感，白百聽不厭
