Yaël Naïm – New Soul

苹果的广告向来还是很会选歌的，当然被选中的歌手也会因此得到大量的关注。上次肥 ipod nano 选了 Feist 的 1234，而这次的新品超薄笔记本 Macbook Air 的广告选了 Yaël Naïm 的 New Soul，还愣是把这 Air 搞得楚楚可怜新生婴儿的感觉-_-。我觉得还挺好听也很适合推新品，当然苹果佷阴险的修改了歌词的顺序，没让那句“finding myself making every possible mistake”出现在广告里，嘿嘿。New Soul 的 video 也拍得不错，而且 Yaël Naïm 这个法国/以色列女歌手我觉得还是很酷的，在专辑里她居然翻唱了 Britney Spears 的 Toxic，其实 Toxic 说不定算是 Britney 我最喜欢的歌，当然 Yaël 给了这首歌一种完全不同的感觉，有个性。可以到youtube上对比一下这两个版本：Britney的，Yaël的现场版。

I’m a new soul I came to this strange world hoping I could learn a bit about how to give and take.
But since I came here felt the joy and the fear finding myself making every possible mistake

la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la…

I’m a young soul in this very strange world hoping I could learn a bit bout what is true and fake.
But why all this hate? Try to communicate finding trust and love is not always easy to make.

la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la…

This is a happy end cause’ you don’t understand everything you have done why’s everything so wrong
This is a happy end come and give me your hand I’ll take your far away.

I’m a new soul I came to this strange world hoping I could learn a bit about how to give and take but since I came here felt the joy and the fear finding myself making every possible mistake
