主题：[暑假听歌]音乐.聆听.再聆听Howie Day--- Brace Yourself

他在国内似乎没有什么名气，可以说认识他的人很少，就连他的官方网站正式歌迷也仅仅才有2300多人。他不会被列入偶像歌手之列，也没有大红大紫，然而在我心中却有不可代替的地位。也许是因为同样在80年代长大，还是因为有着同样欣赏的歌手Jeff Buckley，亦或完全是一总与生俱来的偏爱。不得而知。

也许你会说，一个24岁的男生能唱出什么，顶多是“love love”之类的小甜蜜或者小忧伤。那么我想说，对于音乐，很多时候是不需要这些去证明，好比Nick Drake，他的名字本身就是品牌，他可以让民谣迷们心甘情愿一直支持下去的歌者，一次聆听经验就足以成为永恒。同样，对于Howie Day ，我也有理由相信，作为一个创作者，一个用心演唱的歌手，一个对音乐透彻、冷静的驾驭。一个超越了年龄所能诠释内容的歌手。只需要倾听，然后接受，其他便是多余。

Download:Brace Yourself

So you think
You can hole the world up by a string
With all that you have
And I would hold
Every part of you that I could hold
Chorus:
And I'm on
And I'm on again
Brace yourself
With all that you have
Enough
I'm in love again
Brace yourself now
So you feel
Anything and everything could be
All that you wanted
Stay with me
I'm in no condition to be alone

Chorus
On and on
Sold me to your false alarm
Maybe I'll hold my breath
And you'll be gone
With all that you have
And all that you wanted
With all that you have
And all that you wanted

So you think
You can hole the world up by a string
With all that you have
And I would hold
Every part of you that I could hold

Chorus
Brace with all that you have
Brace now
Brace with all that you have
Brace now
