I don＇t know what I did
But most been a fool
I got no excuses

So I wrote this song for you
Whatever the reasons
did you come to say goodbye
I＇m hoping for one more try
I want to change your mind

So I pick up the pieces
Swallow all my pride
I don＇t wanna wake up
feeling this emptiness inside
Did it spinning around
Did it turn you upside down
I wonder when you found out
I＇m a waste of your time

So don＇t give up on me
(don＇t give up on me)
I never meant to steal your smile
I haven＇t seen it for a while

Don＇t don＇t give up on me
(don＇t give up on me)
Just try to understand
I can be your better man
I tell you once just don＇t give up on me
I tell you once just don＇t give up on me

And now I feel I＇m out of please
I look for you on every stranger＇s face
I don＇t think I can do this any more
Don＇t think I do this any more
And every little things just falls apart
From the very first that day I broke your heart
It only makes me want you more and more
Just like before

Coz you＇re spinnin＇ around
And now you turn me upside down
I never meant to be a waste your time

So don＇t give up on me
(don＇t give up on me)
I never meant to steal your smile
I haven＇t seen it for a while
Don＇t don＇t give up on me
(don＇t give up on me)

Just try to understand
I can be your better man
I tell you once just don＇t give up on
Me and before

If you＇re not that alone
What am I supposed to do?
I tell you once just don＇t give up on me
Baby say you won＇t give up on me.

 

丹尼尔(Daniel Powter)这位总是带着毛帽，有着精湛的琴艺，外型有着浓浓都会时尚感的歌手，他以充满灵骚味的假音，在2006上半年将在美国乐坛发光发热。

丹尼尔细腻独特的感受力及出色的琴艺，让他总是能够在平淡无奇的生活中，找到音乐创作的题材，因此有着“城市琴人丹尼尔”的称号。

城市琴人丹尼尔(Daniel Powter)专辑在去年率先在美国地区之外发行，随即在欧洲各国就掀起一阵《Bad Day》疯狂，在法国更是蝉连好几周的冠军。

2005年的夏季单曲在英国金榜上蝉联了3周亚军，而当时强势压顶的冠军，就是同门师兄上尉诗人詹姆仕布朗特，蝉连5周单曲榜冠军的《You are beautiful/美丽的你》。

随着歌曲的窜红，《坏天气/Bad Day》一曲被可口可乐用作为欧洲广告片的主题曲。



忍不住要把Daniel Powter和James Blunt做个对比。

两人的嗓音都非常独特，而且都属于直抒胸臆的创作型歌手，在有些唱法上非常地相似，不过James Blunt的歌曲朴素、直接，几乎不做任何修饰，Daniel Powter则华丽得多，甚至肆意玩弄技巧，比如“Suspect”、“Lie to me”里四处游移的假音；

James Blunt的歌很有点悲天悯人的气度，Daniel Powter则有点狡黠、玩世不恭，不过这应该是个错觉，从BBC的采访和“Bad Day”中可以看出Daniel Powter其实是个既内向羞涩又积极乐观的人；

就象James Blunt的歌里总少不了吉他一样，Daniel Powter则离不开钢琴，这也是他的作品听起来更多变的原因之一；

Daniel Powter还有一点就是他的歌前戏都很短，一带而过就直奔主题，“Lost on the stoop”干脆就是一上来就开唱。
