二、歌曲<What If>8首

Coldplay - What If

Coldplay专辑X&Y中歌曲　英文歌词：

What if there was no light

Nothing wrong, nothing right

What if there was no time

And no reason or rhyme

What if you should decide

That you don't want me there by your side

That you don't want me there in your life

What if I got it wrong

And no poem or song

Could put right what I got wrong

Or make you feel I belong

What if you should decide

That you don't want me there by your side

That you don't want me there in your life

Oooh, that's right

Let's take a break, try to put it aside

Oooh, that's right

I can't ignore it if you won't even try

Oooh, that's right

When every step that you take

Can be your biggest mistake

And it could bend, or it could break

Well that's just the risk that you take

What if you should decide

That you don't want me there by your side

That you don't want me there in your life

Oooh, that's right

Let's take a break, try to put it aside

Oooh, that's right

Oooh, that's right

Kate Winslet - What If

它是由史上第一部最卖座巨资商业影片<Titanic(泰坦尼克号)>的女主角Kate Winslet(凯特·温斯莱特)为电影<Christmas Carol>(圣诞颂歌)而演唱的主题曲。当时只在英国、德国和荷兰有发行。喜欢欣赏音乐的人对于这样一首优美的抒情歌曲当然是不能放过。特别是对于那些有过伤心错过历史的恋人们。这首歌真实地唱出了恋人所想、唱出了爱人的真实感受。那种压抑无处述说的内心矛盾恐怕只有那些真正经历过的人才会懂得。彼此间多一些宽容，让沟通不再是一种阻碍，天长地久、细水长流才越见清晰……

Darin Zanyar -- What If

这首What If选自瑞典歌手Darin Zanyar2008年的第四张专辑《Flashback》。有时一个人的成长速度用惊人来形容一点都不为过。Darin Zanyar出道时就以青春无敌的形象来示人，MV中也总是一个青涩的大男孩形象，带着牙套，像是一个长不大的孩子。然而在08年底推出的这张专辑中则风格大变，歌曲的风格少了一些青春活泼的元素，多了一些沉稳和感伤。在MV中更是以全新的成熟形象来定位自身。退去了年少时的皮包骨头身板，Darin此时也逐渐有了肌肉。在近期的一些现场视频中，有些歌迷甚至感慨，那小子年轻时候多帅呀！我个人也觉得意外，毕竟Darin目前才20出头的年纪，似乎没有必要这么着急就转型。

不论如何，专辑《Flashback》很耐听，这首what if的内容是反对暴力反对伤害，不知道我理解的有没有错误。总之表达的是一种很痛心的感情，让人听了后也不由得心头一紧。

ashley tisdale - what if

着手what if选自Ash和华纳兄弟合作的新专辑《Guilty Pleasure》(《私密艾恋》）。这张专辑让我们结识了一个新鲜而狂放的流行摇滚的声音。这张专辑贴切ash新的造型，更贴近ash自己的音乐风格。这张专辑融合了多种风格，一定会满足每个听众的音乐需求。一些吉他为主要乐器的美妙的歌曲，像主打歌《It’s alright,it’s ok》，以及经典的校园歌曲《Masquerade》，让听众感受到，和ash一起玩摇滚，似乎难度不小，不要认为ash玩音乐时只是一只披着“摇滚”“流行”这件华丽衣裳的小马，《私密艾恋》同样有民谣风格的歌曲，像《Me Without You》和《What if》，每个与这些歌曲有共鸣的人，都会受到感触。最后，当然，ash觉得自己的摇滚专辑并不出色，但是这首歌“Crank it up”无疑将她的位置上升到一个档次。同时，这首歌也将会成为俱乐部中耳熟能详的热门歌曲。《私密艾恋》是一个流行摇滚的佳作，将带给你无穷的惊喜。
