这首歌是Eliza Gilkyson在2005年的同名专辑《Paradise Hotel》里的主打歌.她的父亲是上个世纪50年代非常有名的民谣歌手兼作曲家Terry Gilkyson,所以Eliza Gilkyson也算是女承父业了,凭借04年的唱片Land of Milk and Honey获得了葛莱美奖的提名.作为一个民谣歌手与创作者,Eliza Gilkyson的这张专集做的非常成功,外界评价也非常高,AMG更是给出了四星半的好评.
Paradise Hotel
sailing cross the seas pursuing sorry ships don’t know they’re sinking holding on until all hope is gone focusing my eyes on distant stars so far away they’re blinking on and off and on and off and on but the bird in my hand is promising paradise venture forth from cave to conquer everything that’s moving pleasure never really lasting very long roller coaster ride the lows the highs feels like you’re grooving though it’s on and off and on and off and on and the bird in my hand is promising paradise all the actors in your play will do their part and go their way or dance as long as you will pay but she will never fly away man behind the curtain pulls the levers for the sheep for me tonight there’ll be no sleep until the dawn neon sign from paradise hotel across the street is blinking on and off and on and off and on and the bird in my hand is promising paradise
