創作背景
這首"Lemon Tree"是寫一位大男孩在(zai)某個下著(zhu)太(tai)陽雨的(de)星期(qi)天下午等(deng)(deng)著(zhu)他(ta)的(de)女(nv)朋友,歌曲將等(deng)(deng)人(ren)時的(de)焦慮不安(an)及胡思亂想的(de)心(xin)情表現得(de)淋(lin)漓盡(jin)致(zhi)。
Fool's Garden幾乎可以(yi)和(he)"Lemon Tree"劃等(deng)號,從最初(chu)組隊到由此曲走紅(hong),Fool's Garden已在地(di)(di)(di)下摸爬(pa)滾(gun)打了(le)5年,其(qi)貌不揚(yang)的(de)(de)他(ta)們直到德國(guo)電臺聽(ting)眾紛(fen)紛(fen)點播"Lemon Tree"時才為人所知。1996年這首傳唱至今(jin)的(de)(de)經(jing)典歌曲讓全世(shi)界記住了(le)這個來自德國(guo)的(de)(de)年輕樂(le)隊。然而(er)也(ye)正是"Lemon Tree"所創造的(de)(de)輝煌巔峰將Fool's Garden推入了(le)已有無數前車之(zhi)鑒的(de)(de)"One Hit Wonder"的(de)(de)尷尬(ga)境地(di)(di)(di),重(zhong)蹈覆轍(che)的(de)(de)他(ta)們之(zhi)后音(yin)樂(le)再也(ye)未能(neng)超越"Lemon Tree"這首蜚聲(sheng)全球的(de)(de)紅(hong)曲而(er)漸(jian)漸(jian)地(di)(di)(di)無人問津了(le)。
英文歌詞
I'm sitting here in a boring room
It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon
I'm wasting my time I got nothing to do
I'm hanging around I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens and I wonder
I'm driving around in my car
I'm driving too fast I'm driving too far
I'd like to change my point of view
I feel so lonely I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens and I wonder
I wonder how I wonder why
Yesterday you told me about the blue blue sky
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon tree
I'm turning my head up and down
.....
