与Savage Garden、Kylie Minogue同样系出澳洲的新生代女歌手,拥有甜美迷人外型加上扎实演唱功力的Delta Goodrem被传媒誉为下一个明日之星。2003年,年仅18岁的她发行首张专辑Innocent Eyes,成功创造了“Born to Try”、“Lost Without You”等5首澳洲排行榜冠军单曲,且在澳洲排行榜榜首停留了25周之久。Delta也因此在2003年澳洲音乐奖上一举囊括10项大奖,而Innocent Eyes这张澳洲有史以来最成功的专辑更实至名归地获得了“最畅销专辑”的殊荣。
然而正当Delta踌躇满志地准备进军美国市场时,噩耗传来,她被诊断出患有淋巴肿瘤,这使她不得不暂时离开热爱的音乐舞台接受治疗。病魔并没有击倒乐观、坚强的Delta,2005年时她凤凰涅,大病初愈后为大家带来了自己的第二张个人专辑Mistaken Identity,这也是一张特别为这段值得纪念的充满荆棘的日子而创作的专辑。
接下来就让我们一起品味一下这位活力与甜美兼备、偶像与实力并存的澳洲小天后抒情演绎又不失爆发力的“Born to Try”吧!
Born to Try
Doing everything that I believe in
Going by the rules that I’ve been taught
More understanding of what’s around me
And protected from the walls of love
All that you see is me
And all I truly believe
That I was born to try
I’ve learned to love
Be understanding
And believe in life
But you’ve got to make choices
Be wrong or right
Sometimes you’ve got to sacrifice the things you like
But I was born to try
No point in talking what you should have been
And regretting the things that went on
Life’s full of mistakes, destinies and fate
Remove the clouds look at the bigger picture
And all that you see is me
And all I truly believe
That I was born to try
I’ve learned to love
Be understanding
And believe in life
But you’ve got to make choices
Be wrong or right
Sometimes you’ve got to sacrifice the things you like
But I was born to try
