Dido
"Life for rent" (2003)
Очень трудно быть объективным в оценке нового творения этой даровитой английской девушки, когда хочется без лишних слов, открыто признаться ей в любви. Но тем не менее. Второй по счету альбом Dido, как и все ее творчество, действительно очень резко выделяется на фоне того пустого невыразительного мэйнстрима, что в изобилии пытается впихнуть в наши уши современная поп-индустрия. Есть в нем какая-то изюминка, родственная душе каждого меланхолика, и в очаровательном умиротворяющем голосе и в неторопливых ритмах и в мягкой лиричности мелодий. "Life for rent" - диск по истине осеннего настроения. Под него очень приятно разбрасывать под ногами опавшую листву в тихом октябрьском парке или, присев на скамейку, созерцать грациозную оранжево-желтую картину неспешного увядания природы, купаться в последних лучах бабьего лета, вдыхать свежий терпкий аромат осеннего дыма и ощущать себя безмятежным наблюдателем, посвященным во все таинства мироздания. Может показаться странным, что такие ассоциации вызывает бестселлер поп музыки, обитающий на вершинах современных (!) хит-парадов, но это не лукавство. На самом деле, не все то прекрасно, что заумно, сложно и труднообъяснимо. Песни Dido необычайно легки и незамысловаты. Их героиня - обыкновенная девушка, которая ищет любви и счастья среди вечно-перепутанного сплетения чувств, эмоций, мыслей и фантазий. Здесь и детская непосредственность, и умилительная хитрость и, конечно же, неразделенные чувства и влюбленные обиды, но ни капли отчаяния, в полной чаше оптимистичных надежд:
Well I will go down with this ship
И этот оптимизм не плод ее фантазий. Dido добилась всего благодаря собственному целеустремленному труду и незаурядному таланту, пройдя путь от упрямой школьницы, тайком от родителей играющей на украденной (!) флейте Баха и Шуберта (!), до исполнителя с мировым именем. Таких музыкантов сейчас крайне мало, особенно на поп-сцене. И этот ничтожный Eminem - не более чем ступень, на которую сегодня нельзя не встать, если хочешь завтра подняться на вершину (Сама Dido утверждает, что он очень талантлив,… Что ж, ей, несомненно, виднее). К тому же, если бы мы хотя бы иногда смотрели финальные титры к некоторым хорошим фильмам и слушали сопровождающую их музыку, то было бы меньше причин обращать внимание на всякого рода посредственные ситуации (Знаменитая песня Dido "Thank you" звучит на саундтреке фильма "Осторожно двери закрываются").
Однако сильное растение разрывает камни и можно сказать с уверенностью, что новый альбом Dido, как и дебютный "No Angel" придется по сердцу не только любителям западной попсы, но более искушенной в музыкальном плане публике. Однажды прослушанный диск "Life for rent" надолго обоснуется в вашем проигрывателе, как успокоительное лекарство от банального травматизма повседневной рутинности бытия. Остается надеяться, что необычайно талантливая певица Dido сумеет сохранить свое неповторимое творческое обаяние и еще порадует нас новыми песнями. А пока хочется поцеловать эту очаровательную улыбающуюся девушку в щечку (только мысленно, к сожалению) и сказать: "Спасибо".

1. White Flag
I know you think that I shouldn't still love you I'll tell you that But if I didn't say it Well, I'd still have felt it Where's the sense in that? I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder Or return to where we were Well I will go down with this ship And I won't put my hands up and surrender There will be no white flag above my door I'm in love and always will be I know I left too much mess And destruction to come back again And I caused nothing but trouble I understand if you can't talk to me again And if you live by the rules of "It's over" Then I'm sure that that makes sense Well I will go down with this ship And I won't put my hands up and surrender There will be no white flag above my door I'm in love and always will be And when we meet As I'm sure we will All that was then Will be there still I'll let it pass And hold my tongue And you will think That I've moved on Well I will go down with this ship And I won't put my hands up and surrender There will be no white flag above my door I'm in love and always will be Well I will go down with this ship And I won't put my hands up and surrender There will be no white flag above my door I'm in love and always will be I will go down with this ship And I won't put my hands up and surrender There will be no white flag above my door I'm in love and always will be
2. Stoned
When you're stoned baby, and I am drunk And we make love it seems a little desolate It's hard sometimes not to look away And think what's the point when I'm having to hold this fire down I think I'll explode if I can't feel this freely now 'cos If you won't let me fall for you Then you won't see the best thing I would love to do for you Instead you will be missing me when I go 'Cos I'm bored of hanging out in your cold When I feel loved baby, I join the road And the world moves with me When I feel lost I just slip away silently Quietly take my things and go And think what's the point Think where's the hope when coming home 'cos If you won't let me fall for you Then you won't see the best thing I would love to do for you Instead you will be missing me when I go 'Cos I'm bored of hanging out in your cold And if you find one day, find some freedom and relief With this freedom maybe, maybe you will find some peace and With this peace baby, I hope it brings you back to me Bring you home, take me home 'cos If you won't let me fall for you Then you won't see the best thing I would love to do for you Instead you will be missing me when I go 'Cos I'm bored of hanging out in your cold Oh, take me home Oh, take me home When you're stoned, baby, take me home Oh
3. Life for rent
I haven't really ever found a place that I call home I never stick around quite long enough to make it I apologise that once again I'm not in love But it's not as if I mind That your heart ain't exactly breaking It's just a thought, only a thought But if my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy Well I deserve nothing more than I get 'Cos nothing I have is truly mine I've always thought That I would love to live by the sea To travel the world alone And live my life more simply I have no idea what's happened to that dream 'Cos there's really nothing left here to stop me It's just a thought, only a thought But if my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy Well I deserve nothing more than I get 'Cos nothing I have is truly mine Well if my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy Well I deserve nothing more than I get 'Cos nothing I have is truly mine While my heart is a shield And I won't let it down While I am so afraid to fail so I won't even try Well how can I say I'm alive If my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy Well I deserve nothing more than I get 'Cos nothing I have is truly mine If my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy Well I deserve nothing more than I get 'Cos nothing I have is truly mine 'Cos nothing I have is truly mine 'Cos nothing I have is truly mine 'Cos nothing I have is truly mine
4. Mary's in India
Danny is lonely 'cos Mary's in India now She said she'd call but that was three weeks ago She left all her things Well, her books and her letters from him As the sun rises on Mary, it sets on him And just dance, and just drink And just see the things I'll probably never get the chance to see Danny's not eating, he's drinking and sleeping in I saw him last night at a party, he's definitely thin He says he's happy, he looked pretty good But I think That as the sun rises on Mary, it sets on him And just dance, and just drink And just see the things I'll probably never get the chance to see Danny came over last night and I cooked for him We talked about you, Mary, and how much we loved you still He told me he's packed up your books and your letters and things But as the sun sets on Mary, it's rising on him And we danced, and we drank And I've seen some things you probably never got the chance to see Don't worry, Mary Cause I'm taking care of Danny And he's taking care of me
5. See you when you are
I've driven round in circles for 3 hours It was bound to happen that I'd end up at yours I temporarily forgot there's better days to come I thought that I would give it just one more chance 'Cos I want tonight What I've been waiting for But I've found tonight What I'd been warned about You think you are complicated, deep mystery to all Well it's taken me a while to see You're not so special All energy, no meaning With a lot of words So paper thin, no one revealing could knock you down And I've seen tonight What I'd been warned about I'm gonna leave tonight Before I change my mind So see you when you're 40 Lost and all alone Being comforted by strangers Who never need to know Not sad because you lost me, sad because you thought it was cool to be sad You think misery will make you stand apart from the crowd If you walked by me today I wouldn't have picked you out I wouldn't have picked you out I wouldn't have picked you out Now I've seen tonight How could I waste my time And I'll be on my way And I won't be back 'Cos I've seen tonight What I've been wrong about You're just a boy, not a man And I'm not coming back And I'm not coming back What I've been wrong about
6. Don't leave home
Like a ghost, don't need a key Your best friend I've come to be And please don't think of getting up for me You don't even need to speak When I've been here for just one day You'll already miss me if I go away So close the blinds and shut the door You won't need other friends anymore Oh, don't leave home Oh, don't leave home And if you're cold I'll keep you warm And if you're alone just hold on 'Cos I will be your safety Oh, don't leave home I arrived when you were weak I'll make you weaker, like a child Now all your love you give to me When your heart is all I need Oh, don't leave home Oh, don't leave home And if you're cold I'll keep you warm And if you're alone just hold on 'Cos I will be your safety Oh, don't leave home Oh how quiet, quiet the world can be When it's just you and little me Everything is clear and Everything is new So you won't be leaving will you? And if you're cold I'll keep you warm And if you're alone just hold on 'Cos I will be your safety Oh, don't leave home Because I will be your safety and I will be your safety I will be your safety Oh, don't leave home
7. Who makes you feel
I don't touch you the way I used to and I don't call and write when I'm away We don't make love as often as we did do Couldn't wait, now we're too usually, goes away But listen and think when I say Oh, but listen and think when I say Who makes you feel the way that I make you feel? Who loves you and knows you the way I do? Who touches you and holds you quite like I do? Who makes you feel like I make you feel? I don't mind if you come home late and I don't ever ask you where you've been I just assume if there's a problem will you tell me But listen and think when I say Oh, but listen and think when I say Who makes you feel the way that I make you feel? (Who, who) Who loves you and knows you the way I do? (Who, who) Who touches you and holds you quite like I do? (Who, who) Who makes you feel like I make you feel? Who makes you feel like I make you feel? Who makes you feel like I make you feel? Being weak when I am strong Being seen, who you are Being sad and love's not alone But listen and think when I say Oh, but listen and think when I say Who makes you feel the way that I make you feel? (Who, who) Who loves you and knows you the way I do? (Who, who) Who touches you and holds you quite like I do? (Who, who) Who makes you feel like I make you feel? Who makes you feel the way that I make you feel? (Who, who) Who loves you and knows you the way I do? (Who, who) Who touches you and holds you quite like I do? (Who, who) Who makes you feel like I make you feel? Who makes you feel like I make you feel? Who makes you feel like I make you feel?
8. Sand in my shoes
Two weeks away it feels like the world should've changed But I'm home now And things still look the same I think I'll leave it till tomorrow to unpack Try to forget for one more night That I'm back in my flat on the road Where the cars never stop going through the night To real life where I can't watch sunset I don't have time I don't have time I've still got sand in my shoes And I can't shake the thought of you I should get on, forget you But why would I want to? I know we said goodbye Anything else would've been confused but I wanna see you again Tomorrow's back to work and down to sanitation Run a bath and then clear up the mess I made before I left here Try to remind myself that I was happy here Before I knew that I could get on a plane and fly away From the road where the cars never stop going through the night To a life where I can watch sunset And take my time Take all our time I've still got sand in my shoes And I can't shake the thought of you I should get on, forget you But why would I want to? I know we said goodbye Anything else would've been confused but I wanna see you again I wanna see you again I wanna see you again Two weeks away All it takes to change and turn me around I follow I walked away and never said that I wanted to see you again I've still got sand in my shoes And I can't shake the thought of you I should get on, forget you But why would I want to? I know we said goodbye Anything else would've been confused but I wanna see you again (I wanna see you again) I've still got sand in my shoes And I can't shake the thought of you (I wanna see you again) I should get on, forget you But why would I want to? I know we said goodbye Anything else would've been confused but I wanna see you again I wanna see you again I wanna see you again
9. This land is mine
From behind these walls I hear your song Oh sweet words The music that you play lights up my world The sweetest that I've heard Could it be that I've been touched and turned? Oh love, please finally, finally things are changing This land is mine But I let you I let you navigate on demand Just as long as you know This land is mine So find your home and settle in Oh I'm ready to let you in Just as long as we know This land is mine After all the battles and the wars The scars and loss Well I'm still the queen of my domain And feeling stronger now The walls are down a little more each day Since you came finally, finally things are changing This land is mine But I let you I let you navigate on demand Just as long as you know This land is mine So find your home and settle in Oh I'm ready to let you in Just as long as we know This land is mine Follow the days I've travelled alone In this cold and colorless place to mend It's what I had to pay This land is mine But I let you I let you navigate on demand Just as long as you know This land is mine So find your home and settle in Oh I'm ready to let you in Just as long as we know This land is mine
10. See the sun
I'm coming round to open the blinds You can't hide here any longer My God, you need to rinse those puffy eyes You can't last here any longer And yes they'll ask you where you've been And you'll have to tell them again and again And you probably don't wanna hear "Tomorrow's another day" But I promise you you'll see the sun again And you're asking me why pain's the only way to happiness And I promise you you'll see the sun again Come on take my hand We're going for a walk I know you can You can wear anything as long As it's not black Please don't mourn forever She's not coming back And yes they'll ask you where you've been And you'll have to tell them again and again And you probably don't wanna hear "Tomorrow's another day" But I promise you you'll see the sun again And you're asking me why pain's the only way to happiness And I promise you you'll see the sun again And I promise you you'll see the sun again Do you remember telling me You'd found the sweetest thing of all You said one day of this was worth dying for So be thankful you knew her at all But it's no more And yes they'll ask you where you've been And you'll have to tell them again and again And you probably don't wanna hear "Tomorrow's another day" But I promise you you'll see the sun again And you're asking me why pain's the only way to happiness And I promise you you'll see the sun again And you probably don't wanna hear "Tomorrow's another day" But I promise you you'll see the sun again And you're asking me why pain's the only way to happiness And I promise you you'll see the sun again
11. Closer
So leave your taxi waiting And turn and close my door And sit back down where you were sitting A little closer then before When you look that serious It just makes me want you more And I've been meaning to tell you The closer you get, the better I feel The closer you are, the more I see Why everyone says I look happier When you're around The closer you get, the better I feel And yes I know you're nervous Never seen you so unsure You haven't touched your food tonight And you're drinking more and more And there's no need to hurry Take you're time I'll still be here And I've been meaning to tell you The closer you get, the better I feel The closer you are, the more I see Why everyone says I look happier When you're around We've been circling for time baby We're coming down to land tonight The wait is over and now it's easy Everything is fine The closer you get, the better I feel The closer you are, the more I see Why everyone says I look happier When you're around The better I feel, the closer you get The better you see, the closer you are The better I see, why everyone says
12. Do you have a little time
If you're feeling low and lost today You're probably doing too much again You spend all your hours just rushing around Do you have a little time to have a little time for me? Slow down my love You're confusing me and If your feeling stressed Just try calling You spend your time waiting for anyone to see Do you have a little time to have a little time for me? You should stop for a while You will find me standing by Over here at the side of your life I'd like to hold you still Remind you of all you've missed If you have a little time to have a little time that is Why do you still run When you could walk with me Life will pass you by When you move this quickly What can you see when you're spinning around Do you have a little time to have a little time for me? You should stop for a while You will find me standing by Over here at the side of your life I'd like to hold you still Remind you of all you've missed If you have time that is If you let me listen I'll make you feel clear Spend your time waiting for anyone to see You should stop for a while You will find me standing by Over here at the side of your life I'd like to hold you still Remind you of all you've missed If you have a little time to have a little time that is You should stop for a while You will find me standing by Over here at the side of your life I'd like to hold you still Remind you of all you've missed If you have a little time to have a little time that is
