原名Annika Norlin的Hello Saferide,迈入07年的最新动向是Sakert!这支以瑞典传统语言与歌谣为创作蓝本的音乐project。素有邻家女孩形象,acoustic pop风味的恬淡民谣,Hello Saferide拾起一把空心吉他,以小女孩的自吟带来了委实动人的「Introducing...Hello Saferide」专辑。
关于这张专辑评价中有这么一句:“这是一张关于相思成灾,寂寞无眠和美好回忆的专辑,洋溢其中的淳淳爱意令人迷醉。”
瑞典小女人Annika Norlin一直写歌,却从未唱给其它人听过。直到她偶然 将"highschool stalker",一首关于天真浪漫的小女生跟踪心爱的小男生的歌,录制发到互联网上以后, 迅速窜红并很快得到一纸合约。之后关于友情的首支单曲my best friend里,norlin竟然唱到"Damn, I wish I was a lesbian(女同性恋)/so I could fall in love with you."之后首发专辑 “introducing.."广受好评。这是一张关于相思成灾,寂寞无眠和美好回忆的专辑,洋溢其中的淳淳爱意令人迷醉。专辑欢快的旋律,使得即便是关于感伤,关于寂寞的"saturday nights"和"i don't sleep well"也不显得过于沉重。如此细腻动人的歌词再搭配上流行的旋律和乾练优美的女声,又有谁会不买单。
一首《Long Lost Penpal》是讲述的是两个笔友之间的平凡动人的故事,这种不张不扬的曲风淡淡慵懒,淡淡从容,淡淡幽雅,淡淡忧伤,淡淡美丽,淡淡寂寞,似不经意地低吟浅唱,却吐气如兰.微笑并且流泪的花朵在青春的季节里永不会凋谢……
Hello
Do you remember me
I am your long lost pen pal
It must have been ten years ago we last wrote
I don't really know what happened
I guess life came in the way
Let me know if you're still alive
Let me know if you ever used that knife or not
Hello
Yes I remember you
I've got a husband and two children now
I work as an accountant and make fairly good money
I still have your letters, you used a pink pen to write them
And you would comfort me
when my tears would stain the ink
And I would send you mix tapes with Kate Bush on
I have to admit I sometimes lied in those letters
Tried to make life better than it was
I still wasn't kissed at sixteen
And I still need a friend
There was this letter
I never told you this back then
But it would be fair to say it saved my life
I sat in the window
The only one left out from a party again
Pretty sure I didn't have a single friend
Then I checked the mailbox
Dear long lost penpal
I was lying the whole time
I'm really a 46 years old man named Luke
I have three children
and a wife, she doesn't care
And I hope you don't resent me
And I hope you do not hate me
For trying to find my way back to what it's like to be young
I have to admit I sometimes lied in those letters
Tried to make life better than it was
I still wasn't kissed at sixteen
And I still need a friend
